"As an Illinois state senator in 2001, Mr. Obama accepted a $200 contribution from William Ayers, a founding member of the group that bombed the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon during the 1970s."--New York SunIf the information concerning the Ayers' contribution to Obama is true then Obama's remark concerning being 8 years old 40 years ago when Ayers was busy making himself infamous seems to me to be an attempt by Obama to try to cover his tracks concerning his connections with the man.http://www.townhall.com/columnists/HughHewitt/2008/04/17/airing_the_ayers-obama_connection
A colleague of mine tells this story:
Some years ago (it would have been about 20 or so years), he and another male colleague of his had to travel to the Smith campus for professional reasons. After concluding their business, they decided to eat lunch at a cafeteria on campus. He says that he and his friend were the only males in the cafeteria, and as soon as they entered, about half the women in the cafeteria started banging their forks on the tables and shouting “Eat Me!”...”Eat Me!”....This continued for the entire time that he was in the cafeteria.
He assumes that they were the heterosexual half of the campus body.
see tagline. I’ve got to tell you I am exhausted. I work in the Berkshires. Not a fellow sane person in sight. I now understand the mentality that elects Kennedy, Kerry, Patrick. The logical contortions I hear from the few willing to talk with me are enough to gag a faggot.
I like to refer to them as Demofascists.
There are prominent Freepers who believe in the tactics used by these lesbians, and promote the use of those same tactics by those of us on the conservative side.
I notice they don’t post to these threads.
When they say it, the meaning is:
While I may not agree with what you say, I will defend to your death my right to say it.
No, unfortunately it isn't. The cards were stacked in this event - take a look at those grinning cops with their collective thumb stuck in their favorite place. Smith has been like this for years - the mere invitation of a conservative is regarded as an impossible affront and the entire collective culture of the institution reacted.
Make no mistake about it - Smith and its like are lost. There is no respect for free speech there, there will be no action taken against the rioters and the entire place is snickering at the very idea of anyone challenging their moral supremacy. These are the first people to benefit from the protections afforded by academic freedom and the very last to grant it to others.
Any such violence enacted against the protected radicals would be ruthlessly repressed, charges filed, lawsuits tendered, and the campus media would be screaming about the new dawn of Nazism there. I have news for them - it's been around for a long time.
It is typical for those who claim to support free speech only support free speech THAT THEY AGREE WITH.
The lowest slave has the freedom to agree with their master.
It is the conservatives who would be arrested for “interfering with a civil rights protest”.
the interlopers should have been, as a minimum, tazered or kneecapped as they entered the room...
Old-style liberals might believe that. But now the left is dominated by Marxist-Leninists. The advent of political correctness was a revolution whereby the Leninists overthrew whatever remained of the old democratic (democratic with a small "d") left. Most "progressive" leaders long for the day when they can abolish freedom of speech.
Fifty years ago in college we used to sing a song which said in part, “My gal’s from Smith, she talks like thith.” The place always has been a very peculiar college, IMHO.
These libs believe in the freedom of speech as in, “I have the right to yell louder than you and drown your opinion out if I disagree with it.” They are not for calm, rational conversation on the subject.
These queer libs in the video are so scared of a voice of reason, stating the fact that people are not born homosexual, but that homosexuality is a lifestyle (a sick one for sure). They are so scared that someone is going to talk potential homosexual recruitees out of that kind of sinful life, that they try to silence any voice that opposes the homosexual agenda.
Exactly! "You can only praise OUR way and our dirty dealings, but if you try to praise anything but hedonism, or you try to praise your God or even acknowledge Him in public, you will be punished."
Queer in a year, or your money back."
Barbara Bush is an old Smithie, and she is still active in alumna affairs.
Seems like she and some other old-girl benefactresses need to put their foot down about this Commie-Lesbian totalitarian, bad-manners stuff.
The administration needs to get slapped around by the alumnae, and it isn't happening. One has to conclude that lesbianism has been a part of Smith campus life for a very long time.
I knew a girl in high school, very bright and hard-working but shy and a little bit plain (she didn't work at making up and stuff). She had very, very good grades and went up to one of the Seven Sisters as a Chi Omega legacy, through her mom. She came back down in about 18 months or so, and enrolled at a not-particularly-distinguished land-grant school in her home state where yours truly was toiling away. I never understood her climbdown -- some students I'd known had blown scholarships or hadn't liked living far from home -- but 20, 30 years later the penny suddenly dropped after I heard something about the Yankee elite schools, and I think now that she hit the ejection-seat button after she ran into a bunch of LUGS and lifer lesbians who might have made things rough for her. Knowing her, I seriously doubt that she had had academic issues.
