Conservative College Students Launch Website to Battle Liberal AcademiaWhat courage! Real conservatives, standing up to those liberal professors ... but wait ...
Alas, it turns out these students aren't really concerned about conservative politics. They're Christians, and they're angry that the professors don't respect their beliefs, which probably include creationism, suppression of homosexuality, and the subjugation of women. According to Editor-in-Chief Zachary Freeman:
"I think perhaps we (as a nation) have lost our faith and our understanding. The College Conservative works to indirectly promote the biblical truths."In other words, they want the school to "respect" them by not teaching real biology, botany, physical anthropology, evolution, geology, physics, psychology, and probably even world history. They want watered-down cultural anthropology and sociology, and they probably don't want philosophy at all, unless it's from C.S. Lewis' books.
I have some news for you, Mr. Freeman: the Bible is not a good source of truth!

The "truth" is a very general term. On social issues where conservatives are clouded by their faith in God, then yes, the liberals are right. However, on fiscal issues, where liberals are clouded by their faith in government, the truth has a solid conservative bias. Very few people are always right (I am naturally one of those few; otherwise I would hold different opinions.)

There, fixed it for you. Ayn would be so proud of you
Vid -- conservative fiscal policy used to be respectable. Today it's disgusting. Conservatives have embraced stupid, provably wrong principles, such as advocating unconditional free markets, ridiculously low taxes, military overspending, union busting and trickle-down economics. They drove the world into the current mess, and now they're blaming the liberal administration because after two years Obama hasn't fixed the mess that was eight years in the making.
