This is a tragedy unfolding, because it can. Where are the cops? Where is the dismissal from attending the university? Where is the administration?

Lives are lost over crap just like this. America is in a trance, sleeping through again, and the house is burning.

I think we will see civil war. Too many foreigners have taken over. It just hasn’t been officially announced. As the America we knew, we’re probably “DONE”.

I first used the term (to myself) Political Correctness on the UT-Austin campus back in 1990 or so. Nothing would surprise me from that crowd. It should be noted that it’s still a largely conservative campus that ‘tolerates’ the leftism in its midst. Hairy legged women in homosexual bed-ins in the Free Speech area in front of the Texas Union, for example.

Obama has signaled his strategy to diminish and contain America - his fellow travelers in academia are going along with implementing the program.

The America that we grew up with is gone. If, you disagree with the direction that America is going, then, you are an extremist. A major war is coming that will tear apart the country.

The anti-American, anti-Israeli forces are in a position to influence (media, education and politics) but they aren’t a majority.

Their increasing overt push, now that Obama is nearing the end of his reign, exposes them at a time we’re witnessing a rise domestic and international terrorism - their stealth mode has been ratcheted up to “in your face.”

States’ governor seats and legislatures are majority Republican. Democrats are having to narrow their appeal to odd-ball demographic grievance groups.

That Obama and his ilk defend the enemy, is becoming clear to anyone who has a working brain cell.

Push-back on American campuses:

http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2015/11/24/exclusive-the-media-is-wrong-white-student-unions-are-not-hoaxes-created-by-racists/

EXCLUSIVE: The Media Is Wrong, White Student Unions Are not ‘Hoaxes’ Created by Racists

“.............Juan (real name omitted at his request), a Mexican-American student at UC Santa Cruz (UCSC), said he started his White Student Union page as a means to mock the “absurd nonsense of crybaby, race-obsessed college students, [by] using their tactics against them,” although Juan also added that he now thinks there might be a serious problem to tackle. “We’re coming to see that there might actually be some hostility to the thought that one might be proud of being of European descent.”

Rajesh (real name omitted at his request), a South Asian student who founded a White Student Union page page for the University of British Columbia (UBC), also expressed concern at what he saw as the increasingly unequal racial hierarchy emerging on campuses. “In the current ideological and cultural environment I, as a non-white, am lucky,” said Rajesh. “I have the right to be proud of my heritage, I am not made to feel ashamed of who I am and don’t need to constantly walk on eggshells in conversations for fear of being thought a racist.”

“I value whites. I’m culturally comfortable among whites. I’ve always grown up around whites. I enjoy the company of whites,” he stated.

Rajesh also claimed he was not the only minority concerned by the new racism: “I’ve been surprised by how many non-whites we’ve had approaching us. They are familiar with the stigmatisation of white identity and white people... And they don’t like that.”

White students involved in the new movement report a similar sense of stigmatisation. John (real name omitted at his request), a student at UC Santa Barbara (UCSB) and an editor of its White Student Union page, said he was led to set up the page by “a pervasive set of attitudes at my school towards people of European descent. I have had physical threats via pm, intimidation, and verbal abuse both online and off.”

John also detected hatred in attitudes to European history. “European history and culture is considered evil, and entirely defined by the harm it did other cultures,” he said..........”

All public and many private colleges receive funding and grants from federal and state governments. It’s time for state legislatures and Congress to use that leverage to end this anarchy.

Muslims are projecting. Mecca is an apartheid place run by muslims.
Muslims can get elected in Israel’s parliment. Jews are forbidden that same freedom in muslim countries.

Where is the pushback!

You have it backwards. Because of Federal funding, colleges are coerced into allowing this lunacy. Colleges like Grove City and Hillsdale who take no Federal money provide more traditional academics.

They are enacting the role of both the persecutor and the victim, just as Palestinian Jihadists do.

These people have physiological issues beyond nuts. They are offended because nobody recognizes their superiority or special talents. When they realize nobody gives a damn about them, they will become violent or litigious. And when they become violence or litigious. they will get their a$$es arrested (kicked) or counter-sued. And of course they will be further offended as a result and the cycle will repeat itself until they grow up to face a hard life where nobody gives a damn and it sucks to be them.

They are the perpetually offended. After a while, a hard-core few may blow themselves up in a crowd, harmlessly self-explode (suicide) at home, or arm themselves and think they are the reincarnation of some fictional character like Batman or The Joker on a mission to save the world. After they take out some innocent lives in gun free zones, still nobody will give a damn. That’s how it starts and ends.

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. /s

The more I see whats happeneing and the cresendo it is taking on because the progressive utopia is fading in washington leads me to the realization that we may very well need a Trump who speaks his mind and we stand behind him in agreement

You need to know what someone stands for before you stand behind them.

Best research their history before committing.

You have it right in a nutshell. It is a truism across the board.

“.....For these self-appointed social redeemers, the goal-”social justice”-is not about rectifying particular injustices, which would be practical and modest, and therefore conservative. Their crusade is about rectifying injustice in the very order of things.

“Social Justice” for them is about a world reborn, a world in which prejudice and violence are absent, in which everyone is equal and equally advantaged and without fundamentally conflicting desires.

It is a world that could only come into being through a re-structuring of human nature and of society itself.......”

“...The title of Clinton’s thesis was “There Is Only the Fight: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.” In this title she had identified the single most important Alinsky contribution to the radical cause - his embrace of political nihilism. An SDS radical once wrote, “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” In other words, the cause of a political action - whether civil rights or women’s rights - is never the real cause; women, blacks and other “victims” are only instruments in the larger cause, which is power. Battles over rights and other issues, according to Alinsky, should never be seen as more than occasions to advance the real agenda, which is the accumulation of power and resources in radical hands. Power is the all-consuming goal of Alinsky’s politics..” - David Horowitz

There is a reason Austin’s city motto is, “Keeping Austin Weird.” Austin is the blue blight in the middle of the state’s blue/red political map. Take uber liberal Austin and multiply the insanity by a million and you have the UT campus. I knew this fact for years but it hit home about 12 years ago when I had to go across campus and was screamed at and had fist shaken at me by a bunch of muslims protesting some unknown something. It was all very scary trying to get past them. Never again. If I MUST go there, it’s driving around until I find a parking place by whatever building I’m going to and quickly in and out.

This last week was another eye opener in Austin. Far too many libs but their peace and love was greatly lacking in that every where I went had security out the wazoo. There was simply no need for any of it - locked doors, phone only access, key cards, escorts and the lack of directories was very creepy. These were ordinary boring office buildings. I vowed it’ll be a cold day before I set foot in that hell hole again.
