College Students Launch “TheCollegeConservative” to Combat Political Correctness, Liberal Bias in Media

November 21, 2011 2 Comments

Cross-posted from TruthAboutBills:

Contrary to popular belief, not all young people are “skulls full of mush.” Although many of our Generation Y peers bow to Obama and have been coerced by the “Occupy Wall Street” movement, there is a silent majority of young conservatives ready to take back this country through media and journalism.

Conservative college students from all across the nation have come together to write for TheCollegeConservative (TCC)–an online journal for conservative college students, by conservative college students. The website states, “TheCollegeConservative was launched in November 2011 with one mission: to give young conservative activists a platform to be heard across the nation.  Our organization is comprised of conservative college writers from across the United States who are tired of being pushed around by “the ninety-nine percent” and the world of academia.””

Founder and Editor-in-Chief Zachary Freeman writes more about the publication’s mission statement:

On this basis, TheCollegeConservative was created:

a.) we believe that young conservatives across the United States have something to say,

b.) young conservatives need a platform to be able to get their message out, and

c.) the faithful conservatives in America need to see that there is a generation of conservative leaders that is preparing to lead our great nation back to prosperity.

Zach (freeman_zachary) is also joined by three assistant editors: Sydney Phillips (@sydphillips), yours truly (@Gabby_Hoffman), and Kevin Reagan (@O_JoseCanYouSee). Nearly 20 student writers have signed on, and that number is expected to grow.

Be sure to like TheCollegeConservative Facebook page and follow it on Twitter @Blog_TCC.

Bring Conservatism 101 to Your Campus

May 14, 2011 Leave a comment

College campuses in the United States are overrun by liberal bias. If you deny this fact, you are probably one who buys into the lies and hate your professors teach. Think I’m crazy? Go to an Ethnic Studies, political science, history, language, or Middle Eastern Studies class. You’ll find anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-Judeo-Christian, anti-female, etc. bias being shoved down students’ throats. Republicans and conservatives are portrayed as drooling idiots and racists, while liberals and Democrats are worshiped like rock stars and celebrities.

If I had the time and patience, I would bring Conservatism 101 to UCSD. Nevertheless, I’ll continue to report for The California Review, where  leftist bias and crazy happenings at UCSD will be exposed and brought straight to you.

If you want to do something remarkable on your campus, might I suggest you start Conservatism 101? Watch the promo video here:

UCSD Prospect Calls Guardian “Right-Wing,” Spews Lies

April 4, 2011 3 Comments

In response to my article in the California Review, UCSD’s Prospect has attempted to prove me wrong in my analysis and debunk my assertion that the Guardian is liberal. The Prospect is, “the international studies journal at University of California, San Diego. News, politics, and culture from the US and around the world.” I’d love to see them try. Get ready for some chuckles.

From the Prospect on April 4th:

Adventures in Journalistic Rigor with “The California Review”

By admin in Culture, Politics, United States

By Taylor Marvin

UCSD’s The California Review has an article that discovers- surprise- that UCSD’s campus newspaper The Guardian leans left. In pretty unconvinced by the basic metric of the article- attempting to score Guardian articles by their political bias is inherently subjective and dependent on the author’s definition of conservatism, and I’m confident that I could repeat author Gabriella Hoffman’s methods and prove The Guardian to be a mildly right-wing paper. Also, the revelation that the student-run paper of a caucasian-minority, University of California campus that draw most of its students from Democratic counties leans editorially left isn’t exactly worthy of a Pulitzer. Most politically-active UCSD students tend to the left, so it isn’t surprising that The Guardian’s writers do as well. If The California Review’s editors want to advance a conservative perspective within The Guardian’s editorial content, they should join The Guardian. Given the UCSD student body’s appreciation for on-campus publications, I’m sure The Guardian could use the enthusiasm.

The California Review’s metric for ranking left vs. right leaning articles is particularly ridiculous. Since when do conservatives have a monopoly on “fiscal responsibility?”  Has Ms. Hoffman never heard of the Reagan or second Bush administrations? Couldn’t I claim that, given the mainstream and throughly disproven Republican position that national tax-cuts raise revenue, that pro-fiscal responsibility editorials lean left? It gets worse. An “anti-Islam” slant is conservative, rather than just bigoted? Being “pro-military” is ranked as conservative, which probably explains all the Democrats in Congress who don’t support the troops. And I’m sorry, if you disparage “alternative lifestyles” in 2011 you look like a bigot, and also someone who doesn’t realize it’s 2011. Please. The phrase “alternative lifestyles” is only acceptable if you’re a mid-1960s parent worried about your son becoming a hippie. The best part? The sample size: “At least 305.” That’s statistical rigor.

Update: Ms. Hoffman’s response can be found here. What’s unfortunate is that while I don’t dispute her core thesis that the Guardian tends to the left, her method of demonstrating this is entirely unconvincing. Editorial slants and political beliefs in general are so hard to quantify that bias is extremely difficult to demonstrate in anything by the most obvious cases, which, combined with her loose definition of a liberal bias, substantially weakens The California Review’s argument.

Update II: And wait, I call The Guardian “right-wing?” I though it was obvious I was arguing that Ms. Hoffman’s method was subjective enough that another author using the same procedure could claim The Guardian is a conservative paper, not that The Guardian is actually right-wing. I’m also going to steal the name “The Prospect,” it’s much more important sounding than what we have now.

Update III: Interesting. When I first viewed the California Review piece last night at about 10:00pm, it prominently displayed a disclaimer by the editor reiterating the author’s views were her own and not necessarily those of the publication as a whole. As of 8:00am this morning this disclaimer has been taken down.

Leftists Desensitize America’s Youth with Jersey Shore, Glee

March 31, 2011 Leave a comment

Taken from Landmark Report on March 31, 2011:

During his lifetime, President Reagan called on the youth of the world to carry on the torch of freedom. He famously said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”

While conservatives heed Reagan’s advice, liberals are keen to subvert America’s future. As a result, leftists encourage Obama zealots, instill fecklessness, and attack tradition through platforms like MTV, ABC Family, and similar cable outlets. My generation will suffer from the doings of Marxist-Leninists unless they sever ties with Jersey Shore and Glee.

Leftists embrace and laud these putrid shows. If viewers are too preoccupied with the latest Jersey Shore hookup or Glee drama, leftists can sneak heinous legislation, deliberately indoctrinate students, and wreak havoc under their noses. Paralyzing the youth with such cultural debris breeds contempt for conservatism.

HUMAN EVENTS editor and Obama Zombies author Jason Mattera recently had DJ Pauly D and “The Situation” on his radio program to discuss current affairs. When asked about Obama’s performance as President, both guys were quick to dodge Mattera’s question and immediately attributed his “success” to the undisputed, albeit disconcerting, success of their show. Their answers evidence the problem inset in giving morons a platform to speak and profit exorbitantly.

Inept and oversexed guidos now serve as model examples for men. Excessive hair gel, hot bodies, peanut-sized brains, and overcharged egos are top selling points in selecting a mate, ladies! Alas, leftists will expend men for loser-types who ignore societal problems and relish the status quo. Heaven forbid they run for President of the United States on a platform of universal “smushing” for all.

Leftists see the classic man as too smart, too overplayed, and too confident — therefore, he would question their motives and Obama’s radical transformation of America. Guys like DJ Pauly D and “The Situation” are perfects tools (no pun intended) to manipulate young people into acceptance of leftist policies. They are too concerned about maintaining appearances and raking up notches on their belts to care about the economy or national security. Instead, leftists want intellectually-deficient narcissists like them to proscribe to their deleterious belief system. This is applicable to the Jersey Shore girls, as well. Nevertheless, Jersey Shore stars would gladly exchange liberty for subservience to Big Government to prolong their fifteen minutes of fame.

Politically correct, blatantly anti-conservative shows are problematic, as well. Glee’s creators and actors talk about inclusion, but they solely admit Gleeks: Tree huggers, abortion advocates, gay-rights activists, environmentalists, and feminists are welcomed. In contrast, those who revere the Constitution, gun rights, traditional marriage, life, limited government, and personal responsibility must find another show to watch.

Virulent Palin-hater Kathy Griffin portrays right-wing, Christian evangelicals like Christine O’Donnell as dimwits, while Gwyneth Paltrow’s anti-abstinent character bemoans virginity among young people in exchange for engaging in sexual experimentation and correspondent promiscuity.

Notwithstanding, Glee creator Ryan Murphy assures us that the show promotes “inclusion”:

So what I want to do with this character is have someone who Christian kids and parents can recognize and say, ‘Oh, look — I’m represented there, too!’ If we’re trying to form a world of inclusiveness, we’ve got to include that point of view as well.

Doug Giles noted Glee’s dangerous grip on viewers in his recent Townhall column, “Glee’s Not For Me” with the following:

Geez, everyone’s got to love and applaud Glee and its overt homo/heterosexual junk or we’re bigoted, buckle-shoed troglodytic killjoys.

Young people are targets for these shows. It provides refuge from America’s political, societal, and economic woes. Leftists want a complacent youth beholden to kumbayah, collectivism, and socialism in tact to successfully destroy America.

The United States is hanging by a thread, and its successors are allowing it to slip from their fingers. Trashy television shows will persist and take America’s youth hostage, leaving them ill-prepared to enter adulthood. As a result, Generation Y must resist and become active in restoring our country’s greatness.

Masters of America’s Destiny? You Betcha

November 4, 2010 8 Comments

If you thought conservatives did not have swagger, then you were mistaken. Youth representation in the Conservative Movement is clearly needed more than ever. We are lucky enough to embrace small bastions here on the Left Coast and in other blue states. Nevertheless, there is hope–and it lies in the Northeast with this instance.

If you have not heard about The Young Cons yet, you are missing out!

Two strapping gentlemen from Dartmouth College–Josh “Stiltz”‘ Riddle and Dave “Serious C” Rufful–are uncanny, yet clever in delivering the conservative message. Who would have thought that two guys could rap eloquently about the importance of human life, free market principles, traditional values, limited government, Ronald Reagan, anti-communist sentiments, and the Founding Fathers? To get a better picture of these awesome activists, read here:

The Young Cons are conservative activists, division one college basketball players, Ivy League students, editors for The Dartmouth Review, rappers, bloggers, and co-founders of the 7,800-member Young Conservatives Facebook group. We have a mission to spread the love and logic surrounding true conservatism. In a technological era driven fiercely by the main stream media, those who vocalize the true conservative message of individual responsibility, moral absolutes, and small government are slanted as intolerant, racist, “bible and gun clinging”, corporate fat cats who could not care less about the environment nor the well being of their fellow man. Our group proves otherwise. Our performances are meant to be entertaining, combining both humor with serious commentary. In a day where conservatives are seen as close-minded and archaic, we bring a new perspective to a long-standing philosophy. Instead of sinking into the assemblage of the self-satisfied, we challenge the hearts and minds of Americans with lyrics that expose the true agenda of big government.

Here is their breakout video that landed them on Huckabee, The O’Reilly Factor, Fox & Friends, The Strategy Room, Fox Nation, HBO’s Realtime, VH1′s Best Week Ever, and various tea parties:

Newsweek briefly profiled The Young Cons in an article centered on a Washington, D.C. victory party on Tuesday, where they performed their new single, “Master of My Destiny.” The video beckons to be made viral, so do your part and spread it around?

 

I am proud to belong to a group of today’s movers-and-shakers in the Conservative Movement. Josh and Dave are proven examples that the conservative message can be delivered in a hip, fun and intelligent manner. They are forces to be reckoned with.

 

Watch out, America! More Young Cons are coming your way.

 

Follow them on twitter @YoungCons, “like”/join The Young Cons on facebook, YouTube channel, and buy their songs on iTunes.
