ANY EXCUSE WILL DO TO SUPPRESS COLLEGE REPUBLICANS

From VodkaPundit

"This is one of the more outrageous things I've read in quite a while. The public statements of one Vera Rorie, the Assistant Dean for Campus Life at Emory University in Atlanta, recently found their way onto the internet. Ms. Rorie subsequently received a critical email (gasp!) from an individual not associated with either the university or the local College Republicans chapter. Upon reading said email, Rorie abruptly cancelled a meeting with the CR leadership, and has refused contact with them ever since (nearly three months ago now).

Rorie's "logic" in cancelling the meeting? Here are her own words, in an email to the CR representatives:
My office had offered to assist the College Republicans in planning an event that would bring a conservative speaker of your choice to campus. In light of the attached email and link it is clear that you are not interested in practing [sic] community. The information you provided to outsiders is the source of the enclosed personal attacts [sic] on me. I am rescinding the offer to meet.I will not participate in email name calling or personal assaults.
You got that? Here we have a high-profile college administrator, whose job is to oversee the "campus life" of students saying, in effect, "If you dare tell anybody else what I've said, and they respond to me in a way I don't like, I'll cut you off completely, you miserable little fascists."

(And a senior academic from Emory can't even spell! Proof that Leftists are truthful about one thing: They don't believe in standards. It would seem to make Emory degrees something of a fraud, however)

****************************************

American "liberals" often deny being Leftists and say that they are very different from the Communist rulers of other countries. The only real difference, however, is how much power they have. In America, their power is limited by democracy. To see what they WOULD be like with more power, look at where they ARE already very powerful: in America's educational system -- particularly in the universities and colleges. They show there the same respect for free-speech that Stalin did: None. So look to the colleges to see what the whole country would be like if "liberals" had their way. It would be a dictatorship.
