Hurray for the Pack Patriot!

Posted on BattleBornNews.com Wednesday 28 December 2005

After reading the latest issue of the Pack Patriot, I am enthusiastic about the future of conservatism! The Pack Patriot is published each month by the University of Nevada College Republicans and is a needed voice of opposition on a campus saturated by liberal voices. With a combination of witty irreverent humor and sometimes shocking photos, the journalists of the Pack Patriot expose the conformist liberals to a good dose of reality.

For the last 20 years the easiest way to “go-along-to-get-along” on college campuses has been to follow the herd mentality and support the “in” liberal cause of the day or simply to be silent. I am glad to see a vocal group in opposition to the conformist liberal establishment at UNR. I agree with George Higgins, the leader of the self described “Kickass College Republicans”, that,”Nevada elections in 2006 will be won at the grassroots level.” George describes the College Republicans as “the army for conservative ideology on our campuses.” With the establishment of the Pack Patriot, that army now has a loud trumpet.

With a readership in excess of 2,500 monthly and growing, college professors and administrators have had to tone down the blatantly socialist rhetoric and at least consider their positions more carefully. Even if professors keep up their indoctrination attempts, at least now students have a way to voice an opposing view in a public forum. An example of an issue that has been aired out, is the blatantly unconstitutional speech code imposed on UNR students. The university administrators imposed “free speech zones” near the center of campus and acted like they supported free speech. Any thinking person knows of course that if a small zone is imposed where people can freely express themselves then by default the rest of the entire campus is a “non-free-speech-zone.” Becoming a college student does not suspend one’s Constitutional rights.

I am encouraged about the future of Nevada when I consider these students who are motivated to be active and vocal. As George said, “These conservative students are America’s future leaders.”

I highly encourage you to support the UNR College Republicans and the Pack Patriot both morally and financially!
