It’s an amazing phenomenon to see how liberals act when they’re backed into a corner, which is usually one of two ways; they either ridicule you or demand you be silenced. I suppose that whole first amendment “thing” must really get under their skin, huh?
It’s been a big year for populist rage. The summer was plagued with constant political rallies. On Nov. 2, voters turned on incumbents without scrutinizing those whom they chose to elect.
On one level, election night is tailored for the modern college student. It allows – nay, demands – that you stay up late watching election results on TV. Some college students watch the elections like it is their job. But others are left bored and confused.
For those of us living off campus, we commute in different ways. Some travel by metro, others ride the bus and a majority zoom onto campus in cars. The closer commuters and on-campus students choose less motorized ways of transport, like bikes or good-ol’ fashioned walking.
As many may recall, after President Barack Obama won by a large margin in 2008, there was a Time magazine cover story that said the Republican elephants were an endangered species.
In 1933, a small group of wealthy American businessmen devised a plot to overthrow Franklin Roosevelt’s administration and install a fascist dictatorship.
On Tuesday, the direction of this country dramatically changed for the better. In what was a direct repudiation of the Obama administration’s failed policies, the American people sent a clear message that the country’s left-wing lurch is unacceptable and unwanted.

The articles lack any real point or purpose, other than for their authors to cry and grieve to each other over their perceived subjection to cognitive dissonance by people with whom they disagree. I found three glaring problems with this particular creed. First, his summation of liberal ideology is nothing but a straw man built from seriously dubious generalizations. I haven’t heard many liberals argue for a “small intellectual elite” to rule over the dumb masses (which seems more descriptive of classical conservatism, anyway), yet we’re supposed to accept those points as the “pervasive assumptions among liberal academia” without even knowing which professors actually said any of those things?

I suspect that most of us have heard that education is vital to success, be it from parents or former teachers. “Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is,” said President Barack Obama to Arlington, Va. high school students.
I was standing in line at Subway a few weeks ago, starving and patiently waiting my turn to order. The woman working behind the Subway counter was not American and spoke slightly broken English. Nevertheless she was very polite.
