What’s news?

How ’bout the, despite their claims, never tolerant left? They’ve been busy.

First, from TheWeeklyStandard a few days ago.

“Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts has banned a Christian group from campus because the group requires student leaders to adhere to “basic biblical truths of Christianity.” The decision to ban the group, called the Tufts Christian Fellowship, was made by officials from the university’s student government, specifically the Tufts Community Union Judiciary.

The ban means the group “will lose the right to use the Tufts name in its title or at any activities, schedule events or reserve university space through the Office for Campus Life,” according to the Tufts Daily. Additionally, Tufts Christian Fellowship will be unable to receive money from a pool that students are required to pay into and that is specifically set aside for student groups.”

Also, a new book is coming out on the intolerance on college campuses.

From TheWashingtonFreeBeacon

““On college campuses today, students are punished for everything from mild satire, to writing politically incorrect short stories, to having the ‘wrong’ opinion on virtually every hot button issue, and, increasingly, simply for criticizing the college administration,” writes Greg Lukianoff, the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), in Unlearning Liberty: Campus Censorship and the End of American Debate.”

“Lukianoff emphasized that he is a liberal atheist, and that he has spent much of his time defending individuals and groups with whom he disagrees. Had anyone told him that he would have spent as much time defending evangelical Christians as he has, he said, he would have called it “conservative propaganda.”

“Given my experience, however, I was not at all surprised when a 2007 study of attitudes about religion among faculty performed by the Institute for Jewish and Community Research showed that evangelical Christians were the only group that a majority of faculty were comfortable to admit evoked strong negative feelings in them,” Lukianoff writes.”

Some of these instances are just downright stupid. Like this.

From CampusReform.Org

“The University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill has removed the word “freshman” from official university documents, citing as their reason an attempt to adopt more “gender inclusive language.”

We are “committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all members of our community,” reads a statement administrators sent to Campus Reform on Monday.

“Consistent with that commitment, gender inclusive terms (chair; first year student; upper-level student, etc.) should be used on University Documents, websites and policies,” it continues.”

But hey, at least they give you free pizza and a t-shirt, if you vote for Obama.

From DenverCBSLocal

“Colorado state law says campaigners have to be 100 feet from a polling place, but there is some grey area, especially when a polling place is inside a large public building like CSU’s Lory Student Center.”

““They were essentially offering students and passers-by t-shirts and campaign t-shirts with the impression, very clearly, that you had to go vote first, and if you voted, then they would give you free t-shirts and free pizza,” Call said.”

““This is a hypocritical charge … the party that has spent over half a million dollars on a firm accused of voter fraud across the country should join us in encouraging people to vote instead of making frivolous complaints,” the statement said.”

Here’s what the Dem Party official was referring to.

From TheHill

“Several Virginia Democrats have asked the Justice Department to investigate allegations of voter fraud surrounding a GOP firm working in the Old Dominion and other battleground states.

Reps. Jim Moran, Bobby Scott and Jerry Connolly say recent allegations of registration fraud by Strategic Allied Consulting in Florida — combined with last week’s voter-fraud arrest of a Republican operative linked to the firm in Virginia — merit a federal probe to determine if the episodes “are connected and constitute a broader conspiracy of voter registration fraud.”

And lastly from the intolerant left, the reason Twitter is a bad idea.

BIG ‘OL FAT CONTENT WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, it’s so bad, I won’t show them here, but it involves threats to assassinate Romney and riots if Obama loses.

From Michelle Malkin’s Twitchy site, where your stupid tweets live on even after you delete them.

Here and Here

Embrace the tolerance folks, and the newer, more civil tone.

What’s news to you?

The debate is of course.

OK Mr. President, let’s check the record.

From WeaselZippers

“During the debate Obama demanded we “check the record” to prove Romney never said in his NY Times op-ed that the government should provide guarantees for the automakers post-bankruptcy financing. Shockingly, that’s exactly what Romney did say.”

“Via Mitt Romney’s 2008 NYT op-ed:

The federal government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing and assure car buyers that their warranties are not at risk.”

Oh, sorry Mr. President, you’re wrong again. Smug, condescending, and wrong. That about sums it up.

But as usual, I only say that because I’m racist.

🙄

From NewsBusters

“CHRIS MATTHEWS: I think they’re more political than either you or I – I think  they hate Obama. They want him out of the White House more than they want to  destroy al Qaeda. Their number one enemy in the world right now, on the right,  is their hatred – hatred for Obama. We can go into that about the white working  class in the south and looking at these numbers we’re getting about racial  hatred in many cases. This isn’t about being a better president. They want to  get rid of this president. That’s their number one goal and they’re willing to  let Romney go to the hard center, even if it’s to the left on issues, as long as  they get rid of this guy. Romney went in there tonight with sixteen ounce  gloves.  He didn’t want to look too ferocious he just wanted to win and the  way he wanted to win was not make himself into the right-winger that the right  wing that’s supporting him really are.”

How original Chris, no wonder you have such high ratings. Oh wait, you don’t.

And here’s an update on the conversation about the UN election observers.

From YellowHammerPolitics

“In response to news that poll watchers affiliated with the United Nations will be sent across the country to monitor balloting in various states and search for evidence of “voter suppression” during the upcoming November 6 presidential election, Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard said he will support legislation in the next session requiring all poll watchers in Alabama to hold U.S. citizenship.

“The United States is the worldwide beacon of free elections and the Republican form of government, so having an international squad from the United Nations playing referee in our elections is insulting and absurd,” Hubbard said.  “We’ve been holding elections in the U.S. for the past 223 years without the United Nations playing a role or enforcing the rules, and we certainly don’t want or need them now.””

Kudos to Alabama!
