I wouldn't be persuaded to be here if it wasn't for 20 years of being on campuses and seeing this. |
If Rodney King had obeyed the orders clearly given and had laid down in a "prone position" on the night of his famous encounter with Los Angeles police, 58 people would be alive today, $16 billion would be circulating in the economy and four dedicated LAPD officers who were working to the book that night would not have been forced to endure two trials (the first had acquitted them) and had their careers destroyed to appease the liberal conscience. But liberals had to make their point. |
In practice, socialism didn't work. But socialism could never have worked because it is based on false premises about human psychology and society, and gross ignorance of human economy. |
Instead of educating students, these professors are trying to indoctrinate them. |
Israel is the canary in the mine. What happens to Israel will eventually happen to America itself. |
It is important for conservatives to make distinctions between those on the Left who were (and are) traitors or self-conceived enemies of the United States, and those who were (and are) the fellow-travelers of enemies of the United States, and those who are neither traitors, nor enemies, nor friends and protectors of enemies, but are American patriots who disagree with conservatives over tactical and policy issues. |

It is the human wish to be told lies that keep us as primitive morally and socially as we are. (...) I am persuaded that a lie grounded in human desire is too powerful for mere reason to kill. |
It's very hard to have respect for a woman who exploits the death of her own son and doesn't respect her own son's life. This young man volunteered twice. This is not a draftee. This is somebody who volunteered, did a tour of four years and volunteered back for Iraq, and volunteered for the specific mission. |
Jameson is a literature professor but his teaching is based on an uninformed opinion. All he's done is wield ideologies out of a 19th-century theory. |
My book is fair comment. The criticism I have of professors is that they aren't professional. Some aren't professional in the classroom the ones portrayed in my book...they have an attitude toward the university that it should be their political soap box. |
Not all of the professors depicted in this volume hold views as extreme as Ward Churchill's, but a disturbing number do. |
Now it is virtually impossible for a vocal conservative to be hired for a tenure-track position on a faculty anywhere, or to receive tenure if so hired. The conservative faculty members I encounter who have achieved this feat, invariably tell me that they were forced to keep their political orientation to themselves until they achieved tenure. |
Oprah is the only person who can tell people to go out and read an 800-page book and they listen. She didn't get to be who she is through affirmative action. |
Politics is about winning. If you don't win, you don't get to put your principles into practice. Therefore, find a way to win, or sit the battle out. |
