CHAMPAIGN/URBANA NEWS GAZETTE
— Democrats are hurting Illinois – BOB MARTENSEN, Loda
https://www.news-gazette.com/opinion/letter-to-the-editor-democrats-are-hurting-illinois/article_87e4f305-7ece-5cd6-b0b3-d73d3744ff25.html
(FROM THE LETTER:
Democrats have proven, once again, that they lack the mental capacity to
govern. Democrats do not want a girl 20 years and 364 days old to smoke
cigarettes, because cigarettes are not healthy. Democrats want that girl, one
day later, to smoke all the marijuana she can, because marijuana is, they say,
healthy and they can tax it. Democrats cannot find the time to read nor
understand the proposed laws upon which they vote to approve. Democrats cannot
understand how a provision that greatly increases their salaries just happened
to be in a bill that they approved. Democrats cannot find the money to pay the
debts to vendors who provide goods and services to the state. Democrats can
find the money to pay homage to their king, $40 million for two schools in
House Speaker Michael Madigan’s district, $50 million to his wife’s Illinois
Arts Council. Democrats believe that an unborn child must not have individual
rights under the law. People are permanently leaving Illinois by the tens of
thousands, business and manufacturing plants are closing or not even thinking
of Illinois as a location. The Democrats’ answer is taxes, taxes and more
taxes. Raise taxes, don’t pay your bills, place the money in your pockets
equals mental incapacity.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: On
recruiting, there have been similar successes. In places that Republicans need
to win, they have recruited top tier candidates who give them the absolute best
shot to do so. Candidates like Nicole Malliotakis in the 11th District of New
York, Ashley Hinson in the 1st District in Iowa, Evelyn Sanguinetti in the 6th
District of Illinois, Kathy Landing in the 1st District of South Carolina and
Amanda Makkei in the 13th District of Florida.)

https://www.amgreatness.com/2019/07/06/the-cowardice-of-the-college-republicans/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: One
would think that in the age of a massively successful Republican president like
Donald Trump, most conservative college organizations would be rushing to hitch
their wagons to his rising star. But as it turns out, the ignorance and naivety
of the Republican elite is not limited to members of Congress. For the upcoming
annual gathering of the College Republican National Committee (CRNC), national
chairman Chandler Thornton has laid out his vision for the organization’s
upcoming conference in his debut op-ed at Fox News. What exactly is Thornton’s
big plan for College Republicans as the 2020 election rapidly approaches?
Working to curb mass immigration? Speaking out against blatant Big Tech
censorship of the Right? Opposing the Left’s ongoing push for the legalization
of infanticide? Condemning the domestic terrorism of Antifa? No. At this year’s
CRNC conference—happening July 11-14—delegates will be voting on a symbolic
resolution to condemn white nationalism, which Thornton claims is contributing
to a “toxic problem” within the GOP.)

https://alphanewsmn.com/conservative-grad-shares-her-story-ive-spent-the-last-four-years-defending-myself/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: I
just graduated from St. Olaf College after receiving an education I didn’t
expect. That’s because as a conservative at my small, Minnesota-based liberal
arts institution, I’ve spent the last four years defending myself against
personal and political attacks from professors and peers alike. The most recent
example came in late April as the St. Olaf College Republicans hosted scholar
Heather Mac Donald for a talk on her new book, “The Diversity Delusion: How
Race and Gender Pandering Corrupt the University and Undermine Our Culture.” As
chair of the group, I fielded many angry emails, including this from a theater
professor: “This speaker is dangerous. It’s not about a difference in
idealogical [sic] perspectives. This rhetoric is dangerous and puts my Black
body in danger. This is antithetical to the St. Olaf mission statement. I’m not
okay with this… and you all shouldn’t be either.” Several more professors
emailed similar sentiments. This example is no outlier. In early 2018, college
administrators shot down an effort to bring Ben Shapiro to campus for a speech.
The officials denied the request by saying Shapiro was too divisive to bring to
St. Olaf on the date in question. (It was the one-year anniversary of a racial
protest on campus). They promised Shapiro could come at some unknown future
date, but months of student organizing and planning were essentially wasted.
Shapiro never made it to St. Olaf College. Also last year, our College
Republicans’ display called “Why I’m a Conservative” was torn down by students
upset by its messaging. They were apparently triggered by expressions such as
“All human life has value,” “Facts > feelings,” “I love economic freedom”
and “I pay taxes.” All these incidents spring from the prevailing ideology on
campus, which was perhaps most evident the day after President Donald Trump was
elected. The campus was in a tailspin. Several professors cried in front of
their classes. Some canceled class altogether. Students openly wept in the
quad. Protests broke out at a moment’s notice.)
