Too many, and this is the most ridiculous one yet. The AU may actually be trying to stop a first amendment freedom with this one.

So we are the Right Wing Acorn group? Sounds good to me except we arent fully funded by the gov't.
Blame Valentine for running an AWFUL campaign and spending to much time in LU parades and camping out in the dining hall. Anyone think there could have been 201 swing voters OFF LU's campus that could have changed the outcome? Yeh, me too but she's to ignorant to get it....she truly underestimated the intelligence of the LU students and I'm glad she did.
Obviously this stuff really sets me off

One commenter makes the point I've made all along... kids don't vote red because LU tells them to... they go to LU because they're conservative in the first place! I came here as a Libertarian, and that hasn't changed. I know liberals on campus, and they don't change because of the schools "teachings". No one tells anyone HOW to vote. Does LU get involved, maybe over involved, in politics? Sure they do. But they never have a convo message that says "vote for so and so" or an email that says "you need to go and vote for this guy".

Another mistake people keep making is thinking that the Liberty Journal is a direct mouthpiece of the school, or that it's the school newspaper. Some things are just too complicated for some to understand, and that goes for the anonymous self-annointed comment genius. They basically have the comment saved in a Word document and then cut-and-paste every time an LU story comes up on the site.

My favorite is the "I'm trying to get off the mailer!" Well about the only way you can do that is moving out of Lynchburg because every house is mailed one....in fact, that's a good idea...they should all move
