It's Time for a Rebellion

Thomas Jefferson said every 20 years, there should be a rebellion.  Knowing he was an intelligent man who meant what he said, I pondered why every 20 years.  I came to the realization:  twenty years is how long it takes to establish an establishment.

Establishment, as I am using it means "A permanent civil, military, or commercial, force or organization," or "A controlling group in a given field of activity."  Establishments are tyrannical institutions, which demand their way and either silence or punish dissenting views.  

It takes about one generation, or 20 years, to set up an establishment.  Young radicals have a vision, and it takes them about 20 years to infiltrate media positions, university positions, corporate positions, i.e. positions of power, as to establish their establishment.  

There is no worse establishment in existence now than the one on universities.  The establishment there is one of intolerant liberalism.  

I have talked to people who were familiar with the university in the mid 80s and also in the mid 90s.  They tell me there is a world of difference.  Sure, in the 80s the professors may have been liberal, but free thought was still allowed.  Now, conservatives are persecuted with lower grades, accusations of hate speech, and other strong-arm tactics to get them to conform.  

The people who fill up positions of leadership in the university are all the leftovers of the anti-Vietnam protests, which started in the 1970s.  The radicals started in the 1970s with their rebellion, weaseled their way into the university, gave tenure to those that towed the party line, kicked out the ones who didn't, and by the mid 90s they established their establishment.  

It took about 20 years.

It's time to rebel.

Let me describe to you what goes on at the university - to students or organizations who don't tow the establishment's line of thinking.  

Let me start off with something I am personally fond of - the club I started in fall of 2001, the Independent Women's Club.  It was a club that advocated dating, instead of hooking up on campus, and questioned feminist bullshit.  Innocent enough, right?

The most tyrannical thing, although not the only thing, that happened to our  club was, probably, being fined for chalking.  Yes, chalking is illegal at Penn State University.  Now, here is the real ugly part.

We got two fines for two separate events - $110 total at $55 per chalking. We didn't even know about our first fine until they dished out the second fine.  How could we not know?  Shouldn't they have caught us red handed, given us a trial, and notified us?  No, they fined us the first time by merely deciding that since the chalking advertised an event we threw, we must have put it there.  There is no trial, no asking us about it, and they planned on taking the money straight from our account.  Anyone who thinks this is a just method of punishment is a slave to the state.

So, I spoke up about not even being told about the first fine before getting the second fine.  I got told we were told about it!  The woman who told us about the fine insisted she sent a notice after the first fine. (I also asked her who was in charge of issuing fines, so I could talk to them, and she told me no one was - fines just miraculously get issued based on "university policy." That person it turns out was Stan Latta).

After probing every possible place where this email could be found, it was nowhere. So she told me she would put a hard copy of it in our regular mailbox. What she put in there was a saved draft of something not sent - it had no "To" line, as a normal email would. She was a liar, in other words, this email was never sent. I actually ended up getting that second fine removed because Stan Latta, a liberal tyrant here, agreed that this woman did not send this email.

Despite knowing this woman totally lied to a student, this woman was not reprimanded.  In fact, when I went back down to her office to ask her something a year later - I got lectured about chalking on campus!  Our club paid the fine already, who, really, needed a lecturing?  This woman clearly was not reprimanded.  To people setting up an establishment, good lackeys are more important than honest workers.  

Ours was the first group to be fined for chalking all semester. After we were fined, that day and a few days after, four other groups were fined for chalking as well. It looked like an administration who knew they targeted one group specifically, then knew it would look bad if only one group was fined the whole year so they covered their tail and started handing other fines out.

What is the purpose of this? Why fine a conservative organization for advertising an event? (An anti-feminist event). If keeping the campus looking nice is their goal, signs everywhere advocating "Cuntfest" already ruined that.  The purpose, in short is to engrain into out-spoken conservative's psyche that the university has the strong arm tactics to do whatever it wants, without trials or evidence - to terrorize and silence you. Don't move, think, or act before they tell you it is OK. The establishment will tell you when it's ok to talk.  

Dissenting viewpoints are not allowed on campus. In fact, they may become punishable by university policy shortly.  The policies are already in place, it is just a matter of enforcement.

About two years ago, a "Report the Hate" group was formed, to report and punish incidents of "hate." A conservative friend of mine reported an incidence of hate - a homosexual who called him a "homophobe," which is a powerful and threatening tactic to get someone to be silenced or ruin their career in this day and age. This was the response by the administrators of "Report the Hate":

"Colleges and universities pride themselves on providing forums for debate and disagreement over social issues, from sexual orientation to race and governmental policies. During times of debate we ask that people remain open to alternative perspectives and civil in their discourse while also presenting divergent perspectives."

In other words, Report the Hate lectured him on being "open to alternative perspectives" regarding her "perspective" that he was a homophobe. "Hate" could not be reported because the conversation was held in an "open forum" (The Daily Collegian). However, the author goes on to say,

"Ideas, however, do not exist in a vacuum and the power of words can come to the surface, particularly when they relate to social groups that have been historically oppressed or disadvantaged."

For those of you who don't speak lawyer-ese, what this basically says is my friend was not protected as the insult was in an "open forum," but if the insult had been one aimed at someone who was "historically oppressed" then they can have a case. Gays, women, and other "historically oppressed" people are a legally protected class, but anyone who has a "hateful" conservative view against homosexuality or otherwise, can be prosecuted.

If that isn't enough, this same conservative had his own battle with the daily propaganda machine known as the Collegian. As a columnist, he had a total of four columns run all semester. All of the other liberal columnists got five, with some getting six or seven. Instead of running his final article, the editors told him his "services would not be needed," as they want to write their "What I learned at PSU" estrogen-rich nauseating crap.

They also have refused to print his articles for not being "timely" (an anti feminist article he wrote, which, they said, did not "relate to current issues") and also shafted him for a snow day. His column runs every other Tuesday. One week when there was a snow cancellation on a Monday, they conveniently ran Monday's column on Tuesday and left the Tuesday's column, i.e. his, out.

One tiny conservative voice is not even allowed to run one final column.  This is how adamant the thought police are, in the establishment of intolerant liberalism on campus.

Shortly after 9-11, my club put up flyers advocating a more hawkish solution to terrorism than the drowning hysterics of the dovish left.  We also hung up flyers with YAF, who was bringing in David Horowitz to speak.  The next day after we hung them up, every single flyer was torn down.  Every single flyer everywhere on billboards were torn down.  This was not campus activists tearing down flyers, which they have been known to do.  This was a university-mandated order to tear down flyers, which janitors carried out.  They claim it was the end of the month, therefore they could.  All my years there, they never tore down flyers until the end of the semester.  They could have at least had the courtesy to keep up modern ones.  (David Horowitz, a former anti Vietnam protestor turned conservative who regrets what he did in the 1970s, is considered the devil to the university establishment).  

Clubs, non-liberals ones anyway, aren't even allowed to raise their own money anymore. In spring semester of 2003, another anti liberal club, the Penn $tate Objectivist Club, tried to get money for their group the old fashioned way - by raising it themselves.  This is as opposed all other student organizations, who beg to get funded from the student funding committee on campus.  

The P$OC sold bus tickets at cheaper prices than the main bus services for students going home for spring break. After selling all the tickets, and given the run around by the university based on bureaucratic rules about the legality of this, when students tried to catch the buses, which they were relying on to go home for Spring Break, the administration called up the buses and told them they were not allowed to come on campus. Dozens of students were without rides, after paying money already, to go home. Initiative, free thought, and independence are virtual sins on the campus.

But why should a student organization be allowed to raise money on their own? Then they don't have to beg for it from the administration.  And then the administration can't dole out money to those it likes and those it doesn't.

Banning chalking, controlling opinion columns in the newspaper, not allowing a club to raise money on their own, etc., are all methods of controlling thought on campus. They set up these things, and many other things, such as "free speech zones," as to control what views get out and what ones don't.  

What is particularly frustrating is that conservatives like our group and others really don't have much power. For the past two years, all we have been is a student organization. We have no influence over curriculums, we have no influence over who is hired at the newspaper, we have no access to any kind of administrators, we didn't even have access to any mass email lists to advertise events, like the feminists with their massive women's studies programs do (not to mention entire departments set up solely for their causes, such as the Center for Women Students). We are a mere student organization; my friend is a mere Collegian columnist. Yet the university has their barnacles in absolutely all facets of student and university life here at PSU, that they can take the time to actively suppress and send out iron-fisted tactics against us for trying to voice our views.

All of these cases are very meager measures taken by students to fight the Nittany Lion of a beast called Penn State. Yet they are hellbent on stopping us. What is so scary about the tiny squeak of a mouse? Are they that queasy about their views?

These monsters don't even feel the need to cover up their naked selves anymore.  One well-intentioned but liberal Collegian columnist, Jessica Scott, describes in her article "Ignoring Conservatives Weaken Our Liberal Views,"

"The more I talk to students with conservative views, the more I hear complaints that no one listens to them. A good friend told me about a professor who was complaining about conservatives on campus. My friend asked if having an open mind meant listening to conservatives, not insulting them. The teacher responded, "I don't think that anyone who believes that the current system is working deserves to be heard" and changed the subject."

These are the thugs that fill up universities.  It is not a place to mold the best in students.  It is an indoctrination camp.

It's been 20 years, and now they feel they can do whatever they want.  They are thugs, pushing their twisted view of life unto all students who enter the university.  The old right is the new left.  

It's time for a rebellion.
he men's movement is a hate movement.  

What feminism is to men; the men's rights movement is to women.

Men's rights activists blame misandry for all their problems in the same way that feminists blame the patriarchy.

The only thing men's rights activists are good at is abusing women.  

And you can quote me on that.  :D

And it's all just a little bit of history repeating:)

If anyone is interested, the anti feminist article that Pat wrote that they would not print was about his mother, who was the highest ranking nurse in the military when she retired, and raised her son as a single mom (father died) ... and how feminism did not speak for women like her.

The university is very tyrannical in what they do.  They offered a person I know an offer to write a book on what it's like to be a conservative on campus.  I'm not sure if he ever took up the offer.

We need a movement of women to say enough is enough with feminism and affirmative action/reverse discrimination. Deep down, we men care very much for women, but these men hating feminists are rotten to the core and driving a huge wedge between men and women. Divorce is rising..relationships are being destroyed. Young women today are having their minds polluted with non truths. Equality has become "positive discrimination".

It's all a part of the big plan.

It's like a virus that is spreading and nobody rembers its original intent.

That's what brainwashing is. Some get turned, but unfortunately they mutate.  It's the risk you take I guess when programming someone.
