Student fights for the right to be 'right' Conservative teen shakes up campus

Tim Bueler, like many cocksure 17-year-olds, is strident in expressing his political beliefs.

And to him, the Republican Party leans too far to the left.

That was the spark that launched his Conservative Club at Rancho Cotate High School in the Sonoma County town of Rohnert Park and ignited two months of rhetorical ugliness on campus. It also put him on the conservative talk show circuit, including an appearance Thursday on Fox television's "The O'Reilly Factor."

Wonder how many swastika and iron cross tattoos he has?

That is scurrilous slander -- and it says far more about you than it does about this brave young man.

[Coroner]

I agree especially mohammadens!!! We should round up all the muslims and boot em out of here!!!!

[Pitchfork]

Wow what a comment. Did you tax your intellect comming up with that line?

[Syncro]

Funny Tim Bueler mentioned Illegal "immigrants" and he like many others are branded racists because they don't agree people should break our laws to come here.

[BenR2]

Wow what a comment. Did you tax your intellect comming up with that line?

//////////
LOL. Yep. Took me HOURS!

[Kay Soze]

I saw this kid on O Reilley and he scares me.

He will one day start a compound in Idaho.

[luckydevi]

I agree

I, however do not believe we should just close our borders.

[Pitchfork]

Exactly! We don't need that in America at all.

[Syncro]

Yea, I heard something about that too.

I believe I also heard that Savage sent him a case of books for all 50 members.

Savage is quite intelligent but sometimes he is all over the place.

This Article was on the front page of the SF Chronicle yesterday Jan 31.

What is it that they say, all publicity is good publicity, just spell the name right. This guy thinks somewhat like Savage, unlike some of the posters to this thread.

[Deport Billary]

If he scares you, then what about a permanent electoral lock for the Democratic party or worse? That is what we're facing in about 20 years. Third world immigration will be the death of the republic.

[BenR2]

I agree

I, however do not believe we should just close our borders.

But we just may have to -- for a couple of years -- to restore control.

The 82nd Airborne was used to escort a black student during the fight to desegregate campuses. Bueler gets campus security.

[luckydevi]

The welfare state is a far more of a threat to this country than immigration.

[Pitchfork]

Gee, alternatively we could try to convert some of these 'non-white' immigrants to support fundamental American ideas like love of liberty, industry and tolerance (not that many of the posters here would seem to possess much of this last trait). Rather than 'keep them out' by closing the border (a.k.a economic suicide) why not win a few to this side of the political spectrum by not being racists!? Your fear of immigrants becoming democrats is self-fulfilling if they say 'welcome' and we say 'get lost you piece of 3rd world detritus'.

[luckydevi]

"We should round up all the muslims and boot em out of here!!!!"

Do you honestly believe that? One of my best friends happens to be muslim and he is a harcore conservative and a supporter of the war on terrorism.

[Syncro]

Seems like he is against immigration. A view I do not subscribe too.

Me neither and I don't believe he does either.

He does seem to not like the "...mostly illegal(ly) -- to rip off our health care system, balkanize our language and destroy our political system."

Not cool with me

Oh OK.

Personally I believe if someone goes to another country they should not expect that country to assume their culture. I think as was shown earlier in the century it works better if immigrants assimilate into OUR culture.

That is what my Grandparents did, and it worked fine.

[luckydevi]

agreed

[MissAmericanPie]

He's a nice looking kid.

[Syncro]

The welfare state is a far more of a threat to this country than immigration.

I agree with that. But the good welfare state is why many come here. Unfortunately immigration cannot be separated from our overburdened welfare state.

Hospitals are closing because of the free health care we must give to people that are not citizens.

Many don't pay into the system but live off of it.

[luckydevi]

"But the good welfare state is why many come here."

Sadly, you are right
