Op-Ed: Media’s misrepresentation of club controversy
May 25, 2009 : Jerry Falwell, Jr.

A number of media sources recently reported that Liberty University banned Democrats from meeting on campus. One headline erroneously read: “Democrats at Liberty University forced to meet off campus.” Apparently many journalists do not let the facts get in the way of a juicy, agenda-driven story.

The story was spun out of control from the beginning, when Terry McAuliffe, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate for Virginia, called a telephone press conference to talk about the College Democrat club formed by students of Liberty University. The presses began to buzz. Much of what went to print was wrong. Most journalists were interested in scooping their competitors rather than seeking the truth. Even when some reporters learned the facts, they could not bring themselves to correct their stories because the fanciful reports were just too tempting.

The University has not banned Democrats from campus. Nor has the Democrat club been banned from meeting. And, never has the University or its officials said that a person cannot be a Christian and a Democrat. Sorry for those who want to run with these titillating sound bites, but these are the facts.

The students who formed the Democrat club last October are good students. They are pro-life and believe in traditional marriage. They can continue to meet on campus. The only thing that has changed came about as part of a University-wide review of all student organizations for official recognition status. Official recognition carries with it the benefit of using the University name and funds. While this group will not be an officially recognized club, it may still meet on campus.

Liberty University is the world’s largest and fastest growing evangelical university. While many schools have faced budget short falls and declining enrollment, Liberty is debt free and continues to grow at a rapid rate. We now have 11,500 students on campus and nearly 38,000 students online. This fall Liberty University will exceed 50,000 total students.

Parents and students support the University because they believe in its distinctly Christian identity and mission. Liberty University is pro-life and believes that marriage between one man and one woman provides the best environment for children. Liberty University will not lend its name or financial support to any student group that advances causes contrary to its mission.

While the students in the college Democrat club are pro-life and support traditional marriage, the constitution of the club pledged support to advance the Democratic platform and candidates. The 2008 Democratic platform has taken an extreme turn to the left on social issues. For the first time it supports federal funding of abortion and repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, a law passed overwhelmingly by a bi-partisan Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton. Liberty University will not lend its name or financial support to undermine marriage or to promote abortion.

While students are free to meet on campus, debate and discuss politics of every stripe, the University will remain true to its core principles and not lend its name or fund groups that work to undermine the principles that make Liberty attractive to so many people. Liberty brings many diverse speakers to campus. Last year Senator John McCain’s brother spoke to the students along with Virginia Democratic Governor, Tim Kaine. Dr. Bernice King, daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke to our students this spring about how her opposition to same sex marriage put her at odds with her family and her political allies. Ted Kennedy also spoke at Liberty in 1983.

We encourage our students to bring positive change to all political parties, Democrats, Republicans and Independents. We hope our students challenge all political parties to remain true to the core moral values consistent with the Christian mission of the University. To blindly support any candidate solely because of party affiliation irrespective of their moral views is wrong. Liberty would never endorse a Republican student group that supported abortion rights. Liberty stands for certain core values; not for a political party.

Jerry Falwell, Jr.
Chancellor and President
Liberty University

Went to school in Utah. Did a survey once. Was asked my religion at the end. Said Lutheran. Saw the girl put down “non.” When I asked why I was listed as a “non” she said they only care if folks are Mormon or non-Mormon…they don’t care if you are Hindu, Catholic, etc. Thinking, independent and open to different folks from around the world…..go away. Non-thinking, close minded….come on down!

is this serious?

liberty university has dinosaur bones on display and has them labeled as being 6000 years old because thats what the bible says.

there is no intellectual inquiry at liberty university

it is a pathetic institution that is an embarrassment to even community colleges.

And the best but not only example is Monica Goodling. The cute little blonde that did some of the vetting. When questioned, she said her loyalty was to Bush. One of the Senators pointed out to her she was wrong. It was to the law and the Constitution. She did not know that.

I loved watching that hearing. Senator Schumer fell all over himself apologizing for bothering her and thanking her for showing up. He drooled so hard, I thought he would ask for her phone number. Of course he was glad she showed up. Let’s not forget, at that time everyone else refused.

What a university. Anyone that goes there should have their grades vetted before hiring. And be given some kind of test to see what they learned. Especially if they are law school graduates. Of course that would go for science too, since evolution is outlawed as study.

the head of the dem club to be on rachel next…

so we are told that democrats are not allowed to assemble at liberty university given their immorality no doubt. this has led me to wonder as to what exactly constitutes a republican and consequently a righteous person

thats right – jesus taught that the republicans shall inherit the earth. so i set out to discover for myself such an one – these salt of the earth, these meek and gentle sheep.

1. the ends justify the means:
here we see bush and his disciples employing all necessary means to lie to the country in order to invade iraq. the goal was to remove sadam husein – the means mattered not – perfect christianity for as jesus taught: obeying the ten commandments is contingent upon the outcome.

2. to torture or not – republicans choose the former:
again you must remember that this is rather elementary to them and only those cowardly democrats shudder at such a thought. you must remember that jesus was tortured on the cross – the ultimate suffering for all of humanity – thus you can imagine the insignificance of being waterborded 183 times. just pathetic.

3. create the law as you go along:
here they follow that giant of true republican thought – the first true DICK (NIXON), sorry cheney but your the second. the original dick created laws in his own sleep – if he said it then it was law. those simpler times when the president could just overrule the constitution without even as much as a pause to ponder the import of his actions. so we have present republicans telling us that torture is not illegal though precedent says otherwise. why you might ask – well because george bush said it is not wrong, thats why.

4. if you have a little hate in your heart, let it out:
ah yes, is there a more angry and intolerant group of people than republicans – i often wonder how they could sustain such a level of anger. they hate gay people, the environment, science, minorities, immigrants, those with opposing views, feminists, labor and the list goes on and on. i remind you, these are the christian sort – they have perfect the art of hatred, in the name of the lord jesus christ, off course.

i can only imagine jesus right now addressing liberty university commencement – off course he will be about 350lbs, black shirt, black suit, hearing aid so as to communicate with his father who art in heaven – you know the hallowed one. angry to the teeth, racist, homophobic, sexist, islamophobic, arrogant, a drug addict, most likely addicted to porn, sweaty, bombastic: would you know it – jesus is rush limbaugh.

so there you have it sinful democrats – if saint limbaugh favors liberty university – well i can only imagine what hell holds for you. for surely limbaugh is the pre-eminent example of christian virtues. for as the saying goes: after jesus, what would limbaugh do – and the answer is he would ban the democratic party club from liberty and that is exactly what they did.

democrats – it is not too late to repent. what would limbaugh do – think on that ye sinners

We pled our case, saying that it was not a gaming group sanctioned event, and it was only a few members of the group, certainly not the entire, group. We argued that the entire group should not be punished due to the activities of a few.

Unfortunately the university did not agree with us and the group was banned. This was unacceptable, and soon the university was covered with fliers and graffiti and practical jokes intended to make the university back down. Eventually the university changed its mind and allowed the gaming group to continue, and it continues to this day.

I highly recommend the Democrats who’s group has been banned goes underground and makes that university regret its decision in ways that no lawsuit every could. I would also recommend the Democrats have some small protests on university grounds, just to make a point.

Oh, the irony.

Leaving aside whether or not the Bible should have any particular authority, what these fools fail to realize, when they push their vision of “Rambo/Jesus”, is that Jesus reserved His anger for those who do the very things the Fallwell’s of the World do.

I may not be a Believer and I can’t quote chapters but, I’ve read their book and the message is pretty clear that the central message is to be nice to people. Sadly, the scary people of the modern American Evangelical movement utterly miss the point.

Oops! I just did. It was “Love your enemies…”
Never mind.
