For Scheduling Purposes
You might be interested in some of the events on the URI College Republicans' schedule for the semester, especially during Islamo-Facism Awareness Week later this month. I'm going to try to make it to both Donna Hughes's lecture on "Women's Rights and Political Islam" (October 23) and Robert Spencer's lecture the following evening (October 24).
Conservative college groups are in a unique position to bring interesting speakers to the state, and we at Anchor Rising have certainly been talking about encouraging them to leverage that position. If you're similarly inclined, it might be worth your while to poke around the state College Republican Web site.
Islamo-Facism Awareness Week? I'll make sure to starch the brown shirt and polish the jack boots.
Is the brain child David Horowitz, the "former" marxist? Bella Dodd he aint.

You know, since you're so "liberal" and "open-minded" and all.

Posted by: PDM at October 5, 2007 5:50 AMIsn't Barry Goldwater the guy who said "extremism in defense of liberty is no vice"?
I'm pretty sure Goldwater would be dismayed by the reverence for foreign dictatorial power that has derailed contemporary political libertarian movement.
