Somehow, someway the universities have got to be cleansed, they are cesspools of hatred and anti-Americanism.

Isn't that the home of the fighting Banana Slugs?

I'm not really worried. Students/youth have a natural urge to rebel against authority. What the left doesn't understand is that at universities, the left is the "authority" that students will rebel against. Stuff like this literature will only make it worse for them.

As a UCSB alum I can tell you Dick Flacks is a "flack." The leftover hippies have been trying (and failing I might add) to convert the young and unsuspecting since I was an undergrad (back in the Pleistocene era). I spent Saturday afternoon at a local gun club teaching 26 UCSB undergrads how to shoot trap. We had a great time and introduced about half that number to shooting sports for the first time. We had so much fun that we ended up (about ten of the kids) at the pistol range - one of the college kids had just bought a Glock 22 and I brought my brand new Smith & Wesson Model 625 also. The kids enjoyed themselves and the old timers at the range were pleasantly surprised at how nice they were (and how well some of the new shooters could hit the clays). I would like to encourage those of you who have connections with a college to do the same. It is quite a bit of fun and your club might be encouraged to pick up the tab for ammo and range fees like Winchester Canyon Gun Club did. My connection is via the college Republican Club - you can do the same. ;>)

Memo to freakjobs: the '60's are over.

How nostalgic...60s radicalism. And yet, like Frankenstein's monster or even Freddy Krueger, it refuses to die. Some children will be poisened, wasting decades of their lives in the freaky violent underground.

Being a college professor means never having to admit you were wrong.

"One of the things we were trying to do is appeal to students in a way that they don't think we're part of the establishment, or what we're doing is watered down in any way," he said.

Handing out pamphlets paid for by professors? Wake up, you are the establishment! One of the most frustrating aspects of my university education was the reluctance or refusal of my professors to recognize that they represented authority and were expected to teach and instuct, not simply encourage us to 'question authority' or 'subvert the dominant paradigm.'

activist tradition at UCSB

Burning bank buildings, drinking and sex parties. One out of three.

[roylene]

I loved when these idiots burned down the Bank of America, because they were not getting enough free money for school, or some such thing, BoA took an add out in the NewsPress that said basically .."we have more money than you and can build more banks than you can burn"
It was a great site to see the bank gone but the vault standing there.
What exciting times those were.

G-r-e-a-t.... they can create more little Joe Wilsons. Just what we need.

Being in my last year at UCR (well, it better be my last year. :-P), I can tell you that, for the most part, even with a few VERY leftist teachers, most students here are apathetic towards politics. Sure, we get the occasional anti-war protest here, or a Free Palestine display, but for the most part, most don't care about politics. Heck, when we had an anti-war protest (with a few professors attending) the College Republicans out numbered them in the counter protest!

If the students at UCSB are anything like ours, then they will be sorely disappointed. This isn't, after all, Berkeley.

Of course, even so, we do have a huge number of FAR left groups. No, no Democrat groups (officially, we have two. But right now, they are currently dead with no members. Though I heard someone was trying to resurrect one...), all our leftist groups are socialist, communist, Free Palestine, etc. Go figure.

[atomic conspiracy]

There is really a moonbat prof named Dick Flacks? How appropriate.
