Really?
The Young America's Foundation asserts that unless you're listening to the views espoused by the folks pictured above, your education is lacking. So what does this gang bring to the table that would complete your education?
Dinesh D'Souza on slavery:
"The American slave was treated like property, which is to say, pretty well." From The End of Racism
Ann Coulter on freedom of speech:
"They're [Democrats] always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let's do it. Let's repress them. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of the First Amendment." From a speech at the University of Florida, October 20, 2005
Ward Connerly on affirmative action:
"If the Ku Klux Klan thinks that equality is right, God bless them! Thank them for finally reaching the point where logic and reason are being applied instead of hate." Statement featured in an anti-Michigan Civil Rights Initiative campaign ad
John Ashcroft on freedom of speech:
"To those who scare peace-loving people with phantoms of lost liberty, my message is this: Your tactics only aid terrorists, for they erode our national unity and diminish our resolve. They give ammunition to America's enemies, and pause to America's friends. They encourage people of good will to remain silent in the face of evil." From testimony to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, December 6, 2001
Fred Barnes on global warming:
"We don't even know whether global warming's bad. Me, I like warmer weather." From Fox News' Special Report, June 1, 2007
Edwin Meese on due process:
"You don't have many suspects who are innocent of a crime. That's contradictory. If a person is innocent of a crime, then he is not a suspect." From the U.S. News & World Report, October 14, 1985
Angela Bay Buchanan on feminism:
"Once you step out of the campus life... feminism no longer has any kind of relevance in the lives of women around in this country." From a speech at the University of Rhode Island, April 20, 2004
Star Parker on the First Amendment:
"Anybody that believes in separation of church and state needs to leave right now." Quoted from "Christian Coalition Speakers Attack Church-State Separation," Church and State, October 1996, p. 7
Robert Novak on race, gender and politics:
Republicans are very pessimistic about 2008. When you talk to them off the record, they don't see how they can win this thing. And then they think for a minute, and only the Democratic Party, with everything in their favor, would say that, 'OK, this is the year either to have a woman or an African-American to break precedent, to do things the country has never done before.' And it gives the Republicans hope." From Meet the Press, July 15, 2007
Michelle Malkin on Guantanamo Bay detainees:
"And really, the reaction to the suicides should be, 'Boo-freakin-hoo.'" From The O'Reilly Factor, June 12, 2006
Walter Williams on higher education:
"Many of our nation's colleges and universities have become cesspools of indoctrination, intolerance, academic dishonesty and the new racism." From townhall.com, April 4, 2007
I don't know about you, but I feel more edumacated already.
