The University of Nebraska-Lincoln announced late Friday it has canceled a Nov. 15 appearance by William Ayers for security reasons.
“The university’s threat assessment group monitored e-mails and other information UNL received... and identified safety concerns which resulted in the university canceling the event,” read a statement issued by UNL.

Sorry if this post is a repeat, but the following thread is about a book written by a conservative back in 1938 talking about the New Deal as Revolution. A very important and foretelling read for 2008. Scary even in its recognition of current events.

Here’s an excerpt - I added a couple of names to the following to bring it up to 2008:
“There was a prodigious literature of revolutionary thought concealed only by the respectability of its dress.”.....
“To the revolutionary this same dreary stuff was the most exciting reading in the world. It was knowledge that gave him a sense of power. One who mastered the subject to the point of excellence could be fairly sure of a livelihood by teaching and writing [AYERS], that is, by imparting it to others, and meanwhile dream of passing at a single leap from this mean obscurity to the prestige of one who assists in the manipulation of great happenings; while one who mastered it to the point of genius [OBAMA] that one might dream of becoming himself the next Lenin.”
