Yes, she was standing at the table yesterday.

Technically I am not faculty, but yes I am the proud sponsor of the club. As an alumna who has secretly (and not so secretly) proclaimed herself a Democrat I am very excited to see the tide change at her beloved alma mater.

[qkslvrsrfrboy]

the tide isnt changing at your alma mater. There are a few democrats on campus now, yippee. The tide changing means the school is predominantly Liberal.

I know a couple of conservatives at Colorado, so the tide at that school is clearly changing to republican now right? I mean there is now 1 republican for every 500 democrats. WOW!

I hate to burst your bubble on this one, but I'm pretty sure the "tide" will never change, but I'm glad the club is at LU. I can't believe it took this long to get an opposing viewpoint on campus. I'm a proud conservative. I don't have any problem debating issues with liberals. Why would a conservative university be opposed to having a liberal club on campus? If nothing else, it sounds like a lot of fun to me.

I'm not sure why there was even a fuss over this.

As an alumna, what don't you agree with that you choose to be a democrat?

I'll be interested to read about this in the Liberty Magazine...I'm sure that there will be an article in it about the new club. I don't care how you slice it...Democrats have it wrong on ALL social/economical/moral issues of our time. Why can't anyone read their party's platform. Any self-respecting person or Christian for that matter, not having a problem with their proposals should question their ability to comprehend what the Lord wants from us. I challenge anyone to show me a Democrat nationally that Jerry could support and MAYBE their could be some support from me that this is a good idea. Either way, I may pull my money back from the school because of this type of stuff.

This should be an interesting Convo today:

how long until he gets boo'd? if he says anything about redistribution of wealth i'm booing

That would be disrespectful...and in my interpretation of the scriptures, not very Biblical.

[JDUB]

disrespectful is coming to LU and advocating things blatantly against what the school stands for. i probably will not boo but i'm not gonna sit back and watch the vines turn into an obama rally either. hopefully the governor won't say much and people will be quiet on both sides, but everytime in the past obama has been mentioned there has been loud cheering and stuff so i guess we'll see what happens

[PastorZack]

Despite who the guy endorses or supports...when was the last time or has it ever happended where LU has hosted the sitting Governor of Virginia? I know it didn't happen between 95-99

[Hold My Own]

I'm glad this is happening...this will keep motivating the Religious Right to continue to set out and prove how being a Christian and on the left cant go hand and hand unless you're simply in the middle

Kaine has spoken at LU before...about 10-15 minutes about being humble and his trip to Honduras. And I agree, booing would be disrespectful. It is important to listen to all sides of a debate, no matter how wrong or ridiculous you feel the other side is.

[Hold My Own]

On another note, has anyone seen beej lately?

[bigsmooth]

please be respectful! that is what makes LU great. even though we have dissenting opinions we need to be welcoming and respectful.

[Hold My Own]

Jdub just came in wearing a trench coat....

[FlameNForest]

Today marks a historic day in the life of LU.

The first ever College Democrats club has been formed and approved. .

I'm not surprised. A school this large, you will always have some wackos.

[BJWilliams]

Dont get any ideas HMO...I love ya but just because I dont agree with democrats doesnt mean Id be up to anything just because there is a college democrats forming.

I do agree with the folks that are saying that this doesnt show that the tide is changing on campus. If this school ever went liberal, not only would the student body torch it (as is the joke), but the board of TRBC has the power to step in as well.

[Hold My Own]

[Schfourteenteen]

Well Kaine spoke, then the 35 min speaker blasted him away. Quite entertaining. I dont remember the speaker's name, but some points I found to be a little bit stretched logically. He also talked like John Madden. Either way, I feel bad for Kaine as he got his 5 min of fame then had to sit there and get torn apart.

Chapter and verse please. I doubt that Jesus would sit on his hands and not say anything.

Are we allowed to boo at sporting events?

It would be a shame to show passion at any event. Just use your golf clap.

I could very well be mistaken, and have not been able to find the verse...but I thought in one of His teachings, that Jesus speaks of obeying earthly authority.
