Nazi-ism or McCarthyism or Jihadism or Stalinism? Now it's Stanford's turn.

I am trying to decide what term to use for the aggressive suppression of ideas and speech in Leftist academia. When will the book burning begin?

Now I see Stanford is fighting Don Rumsfeld's visiting professorship. As Protein�says:

Alas, we�ve surrendered liberalism for the kind of creeping totalitarianism whose resemblance to liberalism is limited to a familiar smile and wink.

"Behead those who insult the Party Line." Maybe Stanford is jealous that Columbia got Ahmadinejad and not them. Academia is beginning to look like this.

It's sick out there, and getting sicker.

hmmm, how 'bout "youphemism"? Since it's all about what "you" can or can't do, say, think. After all, in the end it's all about euphemism.

I think the photo I added to NJ's post kinda captures that.

It does--it could use a caption, tho. How 'bout "hey, you, wanna be executed?"

And they don't want Condi Rice to come back either. They are getting some push-back here and there, I will allow myself to be a little encouraged by that. The more ridiculous they make themselves the more people will recognize them for the totalitarian asses they are. That's the hope anyway.

The reds have owned academia for how many decades now? Two, four? It's gonna take time & effort to get the original founding ideas back into the ivory tower.

Even though, if you think about it, there is only one radical political idea, and that's the American revolutionary idea. Everything else was delegitimized on July 4th, 1776.

The anti-American philosophers are mere royalists, in newer shabby clothes.

Hoover is used to these occasional flare-ups from liberal yobs who refuse to accept any opinion that doesn't faithfully reflect theirs. Life will go on serene and untroubled.

"Life will go on serene and untroubled"

"No man, no problem"

Stalin stole that from Rosie. Some straight wimmin say, �Any man, a problem; no the right man, incomplete."

"no the right man, incomplete" is why some women stick around too long for that "right man", only to find out just now how dumb is that. He's hated you all along.

The centrality of Rosie to the modern culture is troubling.

#8 Banjo on 2007-09-22 18:21 (Reply)

Right, Rosie's a very duh-moralizing person.

You might be interested in a novel entitled "The Veritas Conflict" by Shaunti Feldhahn. Harvard University was originally founded to suport Christian men seeking seminary education, and its original motto, Veritas, Christo et Ecclesiae -- "Truth for Christ and the Church" was intended to remind students and faculty that there was no truth outside of God. In the early 1800s the motto was shortened to "Veritas", 'Truth', with no context. The novel is a depiction of the battle for the free exchange of ideas at Harvard, including Christian ideas, without the suppression and discrimination that is taking place there and at so many colleges nationwide.
