Stop the liberal campus monopoly! Report leftist abuse!

This is an ad I saw pop up at Crooks and Liars this morning.
(Yes I know, it's the ad system placing them willy-nilly)

Where do we have our own organization for watching for conservative ideas like they are russian spies.

So comrades, if you are on a campus in any capacity. Remember, You are being watched!

Never forget Lenin's famous slogan, "The main enemy is at home."

Wait... Who's the enemy here?

2. Education is always liberal. Truth is always liberal. Freedom is always liberal.

Republicans always suck it.

7. It was once the policy of he US Government to...

round up AMerican Indian Children and force them to go to schools where they were taught English and converted to Christianity.

Education is not always liberal.

14. You made a general statement that is inaccurate.

Education is not always liberal. Education is a tool that is often used to indoctrinate the youth into a cultures most Conservative values. Education is a tool. How it is used can be liberal.

3. Those damn leftist teachers. Talking about equality and trying to teach open mindedness!

I didn't go to college to become more accepting of others! I came to drink and abuse women!

Keep your learning out of my books! :sarcasm:

4. What happened to their mantra of "marketplace of ideas"

when RW radio (about 90%) is brought up? It's so depressing that they can get away with this.

24. Well you have to understand with Republicans

religious freedom means the choice to go to any Christian church
racial diversity means Irish, English, German, French, Swedish etc
And "the big tent" mean any white christian heterosexual is welcome.

5. Those on the left see disseminators of Conservative ideas as...

deluded. But it is their right to spread their ideas so long as they don't force us to recited them while facing the flag and holding a cross.

Setting up an organization to watch for them is offensive.

10. The connections that exist are interesting.

Edited on Sat Sep-19-09 10:56 AM by drm604

If you go to campusreform.org and scroll down, on the bottom right it says "A Leadership Institute Project". If you check out the about us page at leadershipinstitute.org you'll see that a man by the name of Morton Blackwell is the president of the Leadership Institute.

Now check out this DU post about Leadership Institute and Blackwell's connections to James O'Keefe, the man behind the ACORN sting videos.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=6576332&mesg_id=6576426

I found this connection interesting.

On Edit: I just saw Emit's post connecting them to Freedomworks. Damn, everything seems to connect back to Freedomworks lately!

13. Read Thomas Frank's "The Wrecking Crew" this campaign goes back to Abramoff

and Norquist back in the day with the College Republican types "YAFFies" Young Americans for Freedom

They had a concerted effort to "defund the left" mainly by creating ridiculous student groups (The Beastialty Club for instance) to drain resources and make fun of actual student groups primarily Nader's groups that worked for bottle deposits... wanna guess where the YAFFies got their funding from?

25. No, the bottlers

I guess they think the 5 cent deposit would decrease sales
anyway they poured money into these operations to stop the deposits-that is where Abramoff first made his name a money man on the right

15. Via the Leadership Institute's Website "Leftists Give CampusReform.org Great Press"

Leftists Give CampusReform.org Great Press
By adrienne, on September 18, 2009

An old expression states that "there's no such thing as bad publicity." Often on the right, our liberal colleagues can provide the best publicity for us by complaining. It was particularly true at Slippery Rock University yesterday when Lisbeth Wells-Pratt, a liberal student, reviewed CampusReform.org:

The reason the Leadership Institute exists is to cultivate the conservative propaganda-mongers of tomorrow. They're training the best of the best, the most talented and most intelligent of the conservative base, grooming them to incite political mudslinging on university campuses.

Do you want to be a part of the best and brightest "conservative propaganda-mongers?" Share CampusReform.org with your friends through Facebook and other social networks. Also take advantage of Leadership Institute training and learn how to be an effective conservative activist. After all, as Ms. Wells-Pratt opines:

The conservatives will win, though, like they usually do. They're better organized than liberals, they're more militant than liberals and they're cleverer than liberals.

18. Unless they actually gain political power we shouldn't have much to worry about here

Campus professors who ultimately control campus policy will hold the line - intellectualism and academic rigor above political idiocy. Since the facts and thinking have a strong left/liberal bias we'll be just fine.

22. Depends on the university

When colleges depend heavily on corporate donations, hiring decisions change from academic to corporate-invested, and faculty power is diminished.

Even in "pure" academia, however, profs aren't always as liberal as these folks think. Academia, for example, still harbors vestiges of centuries of pure misogyny.

21. My son goes to Clemson...No liberal monopoly there!

He was a little shocked to find when he went to sign up for clubs that there were multiple Christian clubs, a young Republican club, but not a single liberal or Democrat club. He ended up joining the Clemson Gay/Straight Alliance along with an animal protection club and ONE, which I *think* is for helping the poor.
