I blame ALL the crap happening now on the College Republicans
They are the reason for it all--everything--Iraq, the economy, civil strife and turmoil, 9/11...

Look at their list of alumni:

~Lee Atwater
~Karl Rove
~Grover Norquist
~Jack Abramhoff
~Ann Coulter
~Laura Ingrahm
~Ralp Reed
~Morton Blackwell


the list goes on...

1. The chapter here at Indiana University is horrible
they are all a bunch of bigoted red headed step children that piss and moan whenever there is something going on with the GLBT or a democratic protest. They are upset because IU is a democratic powerhouse and so is bloomington within a heavy red state. Man i hate those guys, they are such douches.

11. herrooowww......oh SO true especially Adam Sedia
nice editorial dissent he wrote on how GLBT day of silence is an inconvenience to everyone around them. Having alot of gay friends talk to me about this, they were just blasting this kid away...he watches alittle too much fox news and tries to be exactly like them.

28. Any good Young Republican military prospects out there?
Please, please, please, if you spy any healthy heterosexual
College or Young Republicans, especially males, who support
the war (but haven't served, tried to, or committed themselves
to in the future, e.g., ROTC/OCS), let Operation Yellow
Elephant know.

2. Telling isn't it?
Edited on Fri Apr-14-06 01:22 PM by Strawman
Maybe that's why so many of their tactics resemble fraternity pranks and why they have such faith in social stereotypes.

9. That is, in effect,a tribute to the horrific success of the Repuke machine
Edited on Fri Apr-14-06 01:37 PM by BrklynLiberal
that started scouting and recruiting in colleges in the 60' and 70's.
They set out to reverse the liberal trending in colleges and this is where it led.

13. their new darling?
Congressman Mike Pence R-Ind. They love him for his personal integrity.
"After a morning of speeches from party leaders, though, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) had become several students’ new favorite Republican thanks to his most important political value: personal integrity."
Here's a few reports about this creeps integrity. these are both from 2005

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/26/AR2005092601859.html
Pence, chairman of a group of House conservatives called the Republican Study Committee, was complaining to his companions about a Robert Novak column in yesterday's Washington Post saying Pence was subjected to a "closed-door auto-da-fe" from Speaker Dennis Hastert and Majority Leader Tom DeLay for daring to suggest that the profligate House leadership should reconsider its big-spending ways. But Pence got the leadership's message, loud and clear.

Pence's speech was billed by the conservative Young America's Foundation (YAF) as a discussion of "why the conservative leadership in Congress has abandoned its allegiance to the principles of smaller government" and gone on "massive spending splurges." But instead, a chastened congressman delivered unstinting praise for his superiors.

"I believe in the leadership of this Congress," Pence told his surprised audience. "I believe in the men and women who lead the House of Representatives and the Senate. I see them as men and women of integrity and principle, who work every day to bring the ideals of our Founders into the well of the people's house."

To the further surprise of his YAF hosts, Pence left the room without the promised Q&A. "Unfortunately, the congressman will be unable to answer questions today," a befuddled young host ad-libbed. "But we are going to have a door prize."

The door prize is a small brain...oh look they all want one!

here's some more
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A54940-2005Mar21.html

In a former life, Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) liked to describe himself as Rush Limbaugh on decaf.
snip
"I occasionally got called the Rush Limbaugh of Indiana, but most people knew that my style was different," Pence said in an interview at his Capitol Hill office. "I'd tell people, 'I'm a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order.' And my Christianity, first and foremost, governed the way that I tried to deal with people."
snip

These days Pence, 45, elected to his third term last fall, is leading the charge for conservative principles on Capitol Hill instead of merely talking about them on the air. The beginning of the 109th Congress in January marked the start of Pence's tenure as head of the Republican Study Committee, a group of more than 100 of Congress's most conservative lawmakers. According to the group's Web site, members are dedicated to limiting the power of the federal government, building national defense, protecting private property rights and preserving "traditional family values."
snip
His conservative colleagues unanimously elected him last year to lead the Study Committee, which could play a pivotal legislative role in a closely divided House that has 232 Republicans, 202 Democrats and one independent.

"Mike is charismatic. He's articulate, but he's not shrill or mean the way some conservatives can be," said Stephen Moore, former president of the Club for Growth, a conservative political action committee. "I think a lot of us are looking around and saying, 'Who is the next great conservative hero? Where is the next Ronald Reagan in our party?' . . . The Study Committee has close to 100 members now. That's a high water mark. So it means that all legislation that passes Congress is going to have go through Mike Pence."

more
the next generation of hatemongers and fearmongers.
THis all makes me tired.

17. Wow, I just flashed back the to the scene in Cabaret where
the Brown shirts at the beer fest get up and sing "Tomorrow Belongs to Me."

It starts with one lone melodic voice accompanied by accordion(?) and crescendos into something more pulsatingly nationalistic as almost all in the crowd join in on the song and make the Heil Hitler salute.

The manipulation of the masses and the psychology of nationalism in five minutes or less.

Worth seeing.

18. I had a couple of these bright bulbs sit behind me
in a medieval history class in 88 extolling their love for poppy, I swear I smelled cum.
I damn near came to blows with one in a social pshyche class when he was running down the poor, using typical sterotypes about gaming the system and being lazy.
I was saved though, the fucknutz crawfished out real quick and dropped the class.
I hate these fucking scum, what they're doing in college is beyond me.

27. That was great
One time after some stupid conservative gave me that line I totally flew off the hook on him and said "If you love war so much, stop pleasuring yourself to Black Hawk Down in your parents' basement and grab a rifle and go to Iraq!" That shut him up in a hurry.
