[history]
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."

He was on O'Reilly last week. O'Reilly coached him to turn down the inflammatory rhetoric or his message would be lost in the polarization that would ensue.

You know that's exactly what I thought. Probably not as he's not walking around bare chested.

It's not only conservatives who are attacking the publik screwl system. Check out this parody courtesy of "Mad TV"
http://www.madtv.com/html/classics/theatre_int_8.html Let's face it, publik screwls have become a national laughing stock. It's time to relegate publik screwls to the scrap heap of history, along with other failed concepts like Communism and Stalinism. The fact of the matter is that anything provided by free enterprise becomes less expensive, more available and higher quality over time. Whereas anything provided by the government becomes more expensive, less available and lower quality over time. This applies to goods, services and anything else, be it bread, medical care or education. It is long past time to get the government out of the business of educating out kids.

"Liberals," it pronounced, "welcome every Muhammad, Jamul and Jose who wishes to leave his Third World state and come to America -- mostly illegally -- to rip off our health care system, balkanize our language and destroy our political system."
Not cool with me
Seems like he is against immigration. A view I do not subscribe too.

Bueler? Bueler? Bueler? Anyone?
Well, he seems like a publicity seeking blowhard to me, and I don't share his views on immigration, but it used to be a free country, and he should be allowed to speak his mind without needing escorts.
The African National Congress leaders said far worse in my college days, and they walked around campus freely.

Now you have me thinking he must be a white male Christian, and not a political correct protected class.
Otherwize you could not denigrate him that way.
What were you guys doing when you were sixteen?
Pitchfork maybe you can read about Am Hist X here, it may be in a language you understand.

Absolutely right on the ANC stuff. Fact is sensible people need to call out racism wherever and whenever it shows. This kid has some questionable beliefs, I don't think he ought to live in fear of violence for them but someone should tell him he's an idiot.
To: Pitchfork
good movie...I thought I would not like it, but watched it last night and it is pretty poignant.
I like how the black killing the white ends the movie to show that hate isn't just whites, nor is it just minorities.

I'm denigrating him because he's a racist. I don't care if he's black brown or yellow, he's an idiot. It's punks like him along with the 'border patrol' groups and the Klan sympathizers that generate the belief that all conservatives are closet rednecks. He ought to grow up. When I was 16 I was playing football with my black teamates, working for an Asian store keeper and saving cash to go to college some day. I wasn't posting racist drivel on the walls of my school.
To: Coroner
If that is what this comment by Savage conveys to you, yea I guess so:
"A good deal of the verbal pyrotechnics have come from Bueler's hero, ultra-conservative radio personality Michael Savage, as well as Internet pundits and the right-leaning Washington Times.
They paint Bueler as a patriotic hero who stood up to howling liberal hypocrites trying to stifle his voice and trod upon the traditional American values he was bravely trying to uphold.
"Remember the movie 'Rebel Without a Cause'?" asked Savage, the radio host whose book, "Savage Nation," Bueler borrowed liberally from in outlining his club's philosophy. "This kid represents rebels with a cause. He represents the new counterculture."
Did you read the article?

I agree with the kid. We don't need any more immigrants from the 3rd world. They're turning our cities into giant slums, much like the ones they left.

Do you subscribe to regaining control of our borders?
Hello? That is the issue of the day, friend.

I did but on this past Thurs. or fridays radio show Savage was P.O'd that the kid was plagiarizing him and not citing him. He was kind of threatening his parents. This article makes it appear that savage was condoning this????
