...most effective calling card. Can you see yourself being the future face of the GOP? You are young, ambitious, conservative, and not as pale-skinned as the rest of the party is. Look, I think that my election was about Louisiana. Now it's true, my opponents certainly spent a lot of money making sure everyone knew what political party I was in and trying to tie me to the actions of other people, like the President...
...rival Hillary Clinton this week, the Des Moines Register called Obama "inspirational," but worried that "with his relative inexperience, it's hard to feel as confident he could accomplish the daunting agenda that lies ahead." Clinton herself has criticized Obama sharply for his suggestion that the four years he spent living in Indonesia as a child helped him develop a world view and gives him credence on the world stage. "Voters will judge whether living in a foreign country at the age of 10 prepares one to face the big, complex international challenges the next President will face," Clinton...
...speech motion is by its very nature suffused with bad feelings and suspicion of ulterior motives on both sides, and has brought out the worst in both its supporters and detractors. It is likely a good thing that most of the country has not found out that the Faculty spent two hours bickering over whether Harvard ought to explicitly support free speech or not. If the entire charade seems silly enough to those who are familiar with the motion’s political implications, it seems downright ludicrous for those looking in from the outside. Complicating the matter further...
...anyone who has spent any considerable amount of time on this campus, Harvard students’ knee-jerk liberalism and militant atheism, or, at least, militant hostility to religion, is more than apparent. An integral part of any misguided teenage rebellion includes perfunctorily discarding the formalities and traditions long observed in one’s family: Sunday mornings spent in church, obligatory dietary restrictions, and even a baseline belief in God. Thanks to cartoonish caricatures of Evangelicals in the media, religion immediately connotes images, in the minds of the self-styled intellectuals at Harvard, of provincialism, stupidity, and Republican Party...
...paper use equals paper waste. Consider this comparison: Suppose the average student reads three articles a day in The Crimson, spending a total of 15 minutes doing so. Apply this assumption to the approximately 6400 students on campus over 200 weekdays per academic year. The result? 320,000 hours spent reading The Crimson per year. If all that reading were done on computers, it would result in the equivalent reduction of 1.23 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. But simply making the paper necessary to print one copy of The Crimson for every room on campus results in the production...
