Right Wing Activist Launches College Social Networking Site To ‘Smash Left-Wing Scum’ On Campus
Right Wing Activist Launches College Social Networking Site To ‘Smash Left-Wing Scum’ On Campus
Campus Progress reports that Morton Blackwell, founder of the right-wing young adult organization, the Leadership Institute (LI), has launched a new social-networking site for young conservatives called CampusReform. The purpose of the site is to expose “bias” in universities “completely dominated by the left” and give students a forum to report and organize against professors perceived as abusive leftists. Blackwell described the motivation behind his ambitous project to the American Prospect:
“I have had a long-term awareness of how the campuses have become left-wing indoctrination centers, and many, many students can go their entire college educations and never see any representations of conservative principles on their campuses — but they see innumerable amounts of propaganda both in campus curriculum and with speakers and in campus newspapers. It has always bugged me that conservatives have not done likewise.”
In other words, CampusReform’s young conservatives want to “smash left-wing scum,” as Tony Listi, a graduate of Texas A&M, wrote on the site. There is a CampusReform subsite for each of the 2,376 four-year colleges in the US which contains a blog, event listings, membership roster, and “access to a variety of powerful weapons to identify, expose, and combat leftist abuses on campus.” Those weapons consist of a system which allows students to review “biased” textbooks, rate faculty and “hold professors accountable,” report “leftist abuses,” and take a survey to record “specific injustices.” Currently, LI is offering a $100 prize each day in October for reporting “leftist abuse.”
Ken Johnson, a humanities professor at the University of Southern Indiana who was recently flagged by CampusReform as an academic who “continually degrades the Bible,” offers a seperate interpretation. “Students sometimes confuse the presentation of ideas” with his own, Professor Johnson told Campus Progress. “Some students, as soon as their thinking is challenged, the challenger becomes the evil one.”
LI has already bred conservative leaders like chief GOP strategist Karl Rove, Rep. Joe ‘You Lie’ Wilson (R-SC), and Grover Norquist, head of American’s For Tax Reform. CampusReform also proudly points out that James O’Keefe, the “filmmaker” who posed as the pimp that led to the ACORN scandal, attended ten different LI schools in addition to receiving funding from the Institute.

October 20th, 2009 at 10:44 amThe young cons are really desperate.
Nothing says, “I’m a great catch!” like advertising yourself as a hateful, unenlightened informer!
October 20th, 2009 at 10:45 amIt has always bugged me that conservatives have not done likewise.”
Because college campuses are for LEARNING, not sticking your head up your a$$ and crying about it.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:45 amFact #1: Truth has a liberal bias.
Fact #2: Conservatives cannot have an open mind because it’s closed.
Fact #3: Science is based upon truth & facts.
Fact #4: Conservatism is based upon greed, power and diminishing others’ success.
Fact #5: The ‘Leadership Institute’ has no leadership.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:46 amIf they don’t like their education then they should just drop out.
They aren’t learning anything anyway with a closed mind.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:46 amI thought professors were there to teach the facts, how to have an open mind and to think for your self. I wasn’t aware they were there to teach conservative or progressive principals.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:46 amI don’t get this ‘boo-hoo-hoo’. There’s Young Republicans, dozens of conservative evangelical organizations (Campus Crusade, etc.). He want’s to “smash left wing scum”? Maybe that’s his problem in the first place. I don’t know of anyone coming up with a “smash right wing scum” ideology. Sounds more like one of the neo-subversives kind of rant.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:47 amThese people wear me out. I need to find a nice deserted island with no radio, TV or internet and spend my days perfecting my margaritas. They can spend their days spreading hate.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:47 amYeah… Good luck with that. Young people are turning away from the Repug Party in droves. The more educated you are, the more likely you will vote Democratic or Independant. Hey, with leaders like Palin and Bachman, can you really be suprised college kids are turned off?
October 20th, 2009 at 10:49 amSomething else for losers who can’t get a date to do on a Saturday night. Heck of a job Mortie!
October 20th, 2009 at 10:49 amSo is he also going to do the same for Falwell university seeing they would not aloud a democrats to organize.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:49 amBecause it’s never too early to become a souless corporate whore bereft of compassion and rational thought. Even the campus Republicans at my college were, by and large, rational human beings. At least, no more confused than the campus Dems or the campus Green/Socialist/Anarcho-Syndacal-leftist club (Yeah. RCORE was awesome)
The idea of turning the college experience into reactionary, mindless consumerism dedicated towards ignorance and hatered is wretched.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:50 amWell, the drumbeat for violence just got louder.
Won’t be long now before these idiots cross the line that they can’t retreat from.

Dean Vernon Wormer: Greg, what is the worst organization on this campus?
Greg Marmalard: Well that would be hard to say, sir. They’re each outstanding in their own way.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Cut the horseshit, son. I’ve got their disciplinary files right here. Who dropped a whole truckload of fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode.
Greg Marmalard: You’re talking about the Leadership Institute, sir.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Of course I’m talking about the Leadership Institute, you TWERP!

Sorry Morton, David Horowitz has all ready worked this side of the street; but, hateful ignorance has a limited appeal.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:50 amI am reminded of the guy who says “there are only two kinds of people . . . those who separate everything into two groups and those who don’t”.
These conservative campus wing-nuts belong to “those who do”. Theirs is the “you’re either with us or against us” school of thought made infamous by GDumbya.
The fact of life, however, is there are many more shades of color than just black and white. That ought to be the purpose of college — to challenge thinking and to come to new knowledge as a result.
Unfortunately, these brain-dead morons will always be with us. It’s good that they are an extreme minority, though.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:51 amHere’s the problem, Morty: if you have a functioning intellect, you tend not to be a conservative.
October 20th, 2009 at 10:52 amYou know the expression ‘The Squeaky Wheel gets the Grease’? All Summer we have been subjected to the ‘Squeaky Wheels’. MSM tried their damnest to make people like this ‘Main Stream’ But it backfired. Just like these bellowing as*holes. Oh sure, they may scream the loudest, but that doesn’t make them the majority. In fact, these guys are the types who pray on intellectuals. That would make them bullies. No suprise there. Repugs will always be bullies.

October 20th, 2009 at 10:59 amaaronk, we knew that if someone were planning violence against people doing the right thing that you would be carrying an ax handle with your hood on.
I can pick people like you out of a crowd.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:00 amIf Blackwell does not like the way universities are teaching subjects, he can always go to one that suits his political ideas. There is BYU, a few in Texas and the South, Liberty, etc. What Blackwell is trying to do is intimidate professors with the group. I don’t think it is good sense to be involved with such a group when the professors are going to grade you. These kind of tactics are not going to work in the prestigious schools.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:00 am15, Your welcome Dean Wormer. By the way Otter’s porking your wife.

when are theses right wingers gonna finally get around to all this violence they keep promising?
I’m pretty anxious to get my chance to unleash some self-defense on these a$$holes.
Can’t wait until they realize that the 2cnd Amendment applies to liberals, too.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:03 amThe Rot-wingers will never get rid of liberals on college campuses because it takes a liberal to want to teach and help others. Cancervatives are too greedy and always go for the money jobs.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:03 amThe biggest challenge LI has is the fact most Republics are too damn stupid to even attend college.
‘Give me a double wide, some redneck pride and an ugly bride’…
October 20th, 2009 at 11:04 amThey won’t be able to withstand any actual intellectual scrutiny or exchange. In all my years of teaching, I only had one of these types, and he sneered and swaggered all the way, shouting down “Plato as puerile” and such malarkey. The other students complained to me to “Do something about him.” I told them that was their job: they had to raise their hands and ask questions, too, and argue with him when they found him incorrect in his increasingly silly commentary. After two class sessions like this, he slinked off and never showed his face again.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:04 amGood. It’s about time you went back and finished.

Hey, that was me!
I’ll take that as a term of endearment.
By the way, while the likes of Tony Listi were flexing their muscle in an overcompensating manner, it was us left wing students who were “scumming” their girlfriends.
Heh.

These guys are loonies, but above all- hypocrites. The number of “rightist abuses” (to flip their words)in the article are many, but they don’t even see it. And why do right-wing attacks always include such violent comments? They just can’t criticize without that violence that apparently means so much to them.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:15 amLeadership Institute mission statement, in a nutshell:
“I deserve to have my say! I deserve to speak my mind! You have to sit there and listen to what I have to say! No! I will not say what I want to say somewhere where people want to hear it! Nobody’s over there! I’m going to say it right here, in front of you! And you HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME! NO! You’re NOT allowed to interrupt me! This is my time! And you just have to listen to me until you agree with me or get fed up and leave, at which point, I WIN! YAY, ME! I will not be ignored! What have to say is important, you’re just too stupid to realize it! I’m right! You’re wrong! Sit down! Shut up! You’re an enemy of all that is right and true, and I should know because I am right and true! Where are you going? Fine! I’ll just go wherever you are and keep shouting at you until you admit that I’m right and I win and you lose and I rock and you suck!”
Conservatives: They’re not going to let a little thing like everyone thinking they’re a-holes stop them in their quest for world domination.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:17 amRight-wingers will never understand that good universities promote critical thinking, understanding, research, and open-mindedness – all of which are contrary to the right-wingers’ agenda.

October 20th, 2009 at 11:23 am@46, Oh yeah. Guys like this don’t promote violence, That’s akin to saying O’Lielly and Limpballs had nothing to do with the violence directed at Dr. Tillman. These guys set in motion the hate and let their underlings do the work. Funny how fast MSM dropped coverage of Dr. Tillman.

I visited the CampusReform site for my Alma Mater and found the suggestion that I dress as my favorite Czar for Halloween. I suggest that all of these nut job reformers dress as my favorite Czar, Nicolas II, for Halloween. Nicolas has been dead for 91 years and so should this reform movement be dead. Jo Wilson could be Anastasia, and Karl Rove could be the queen mother or the mother queen depending on his orientation.

October 20th, 2009 at 11:28 amLove it, CU has a record 29,900 students this year & only 3 are signed as part of this group. Whazzat … like a .0001% of the young & impressionable are tighty-righteys willing to sign up for some goosestepping:) Keep Boulder weird!
October 20th, 2009 at 11:29 ambut they see innumerable amounts of propaganda both in campus curriculum and with speakers and in campus newspapers. It has always bugged me that conservatives have not done likewise.
Campuses are places for developing critical thinking not dispensing propaganda… the fact that ‘conservatives’ feel that curriculum or speakers that challenge their world view are somehow ‘propaganda’ that needs to be ‘balanced’ with ‘conservative propaganda’ speaks volumes..
October 20th, 2009 at 11:29 amMaybe you are just dumb, who knows. Funny that you so quickly overlook a headline like this though:
Sounds violent to me. It darned sure doesn’t sound like a “peaceful” organization.

October 20th, 2009 at 11:29 amOh, right. I’m sure there’s no way this could be used to develop a list of targets for harassment or hate crimes, and no intent of that sort. Imagine if anyone on the left started a similar project to identify right-biased professors or students, “hold people accountable” and report abuses. The screaming of “thought police” would be deafening . . . but it’s OK to do this sort of thing if you’re a Young Republican, I suppose.
We have laws about encouraging or enabling hate crimes. Let’s enforce them, starting with Mr. Blackwell.

I can, however, get you some information on the Burmese/Catholic Diocese relationship if you are truly interested (which I assume you are not)

The most un-American, fascist words out there “real Americans”. The right thinks they get to decide who “real Americans” are. How dare they.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:48 amI checked their site for my alma mater. 29,000 enrolled students, 1 member. At least he won’t have any problem scheduling meetings or finding meeting places. (Of course, it’s early days yet).
October 20th, 2009 at 11:48 amHe won’t because he is a liar. Don’t believe anything he says.
October 20th, 2009 at 11:48 amI find this news alarming! Now we can expect classrooms to become the “town hall” meetings from the summer! Anything to disrupt intelligent discourse and civility.

October 20th, 2009 at 12:02 pmaaronk thinks we hate him? He’s right. Here’s a blast from the past and an example of his “values”
So lets see, even if this is true which I have no reason to believe. But giving him the benifit of the doubt I still don’t see this as such a great deal.
One hospital visit that costs 250,000 would still leave you holding the bag for:
20% of 245,000 = 49,000
5000 + 20% of 245,000= 54,000
Now that’s a deal, not.
And aaronk thinks this is acceptable.
Not to mention that just about anything that costs under 5000 is NOT COVERED.
Wow, I am speechless.

The whole notion of a “conservative” student is laughable.
The whole idea of the university is to learn, to question, to evolve, to grow.
That “Leadership Institute” nonsense might be a hit on certain campuses in the Old Confederacy, but it will languish in obscurity at most respectable institutions of higher learning.
This is yet more evidence of the insidiousness of the dominionist evangelical cult in its rapacious desire to transform our struggling republic into a full-blown evangelical theocracy, complete with a holy roller version of Sharia.
Is this what any of us want?
I emphatically do not.

Leadership Institute mission statement, in a nutshell:
“I deserve to have my say! I deserve to speak my mind! You have to sit there and listen to what I have to say! No! I will not say what I want to say somewhere where people want to hear it! Nobody’s over there! I’m going to say it right here, in front of you! And you HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME! NO! You’re NOT allowed to interrupt me! This is my time! And you just have to listen to me until you agree with me or get fed up and leave, at which point, I WIN! YAY, ME! I will not be ignored! What have to say is important, you’re just too stupid to realize it! I’m right! You’re wrong! Sit down! Shut up! You’re an enemy of all that is right and true, and I should know because I am right and true! Where are you going? Fine! I’ll just go wherever you are and keep shouting at you until you admit that I’m right and I win and you lose and I rock and you suck!”
Conservatives: They’re not going to let a little thing like everyone thinking they’re a-holes stop them in their quest for world domination.

If only they could find more campuses where education isn’t emphasized, they might fare a little better –
as long as colleges keep teaching things, and their students keep learning things, Cons are going to have a rough time “indoctrinating” new cult members.

My company covers 75% of the employees care. They have a $25 office co-pay, $15 prescription, and a $5000 deductible for major medical. 80/20 up to $10000, and then 100% covered.
Fred….thanks for showing everyone on here just how little you understand! Geez…you even copied the part about being covered 100% after $10,000 and then went on to lie about it!
____________
Of course, one could always ask the questions:
How many of your employees can afford that first $5,000 deductible if something major happens? Does the covered employee pay that, or do you?
And how much is this coverage costing you and the employees en toto?
What would the coverage cost WITHOUT the insurers’ markup… necessary to produce that ever important “handsome rate of return on investment”?
How much as this coverage gone up over the last ten years, due to the increasing drive for profits in healthcare? How much higher is it estimated to go in coming years?
Can your business afford this ever-increasing spiral of higher costs and less coverage?
And don’t you dare try to blame those increasing costs on “government”, or “taxes”.

There a few, like Regent University, where Bush recruited the entire graduating class to ruin the Justice Department, and politicize the federal court system. Remember Monica Goodling, who took an oath to Bush, instead of swearing to serve the country? Regent has the lowest rating given to colleges, so these little brownshirts were perfect for the Bush administration..
But you do have a point. Since there are few right-wing schools these young fascists are trying to dumb down the other colleges.

October 20th, 2009 at 1:01 pmthey feel that college professors are promoting a very liberal agenda and that students should also be exposed to conservative viewpoints so that they can make their own decisions.
All students need to do is do the reading themselves and ARGUE with their professors, aaronk… have you been to a college campus?
Professors LIVE to argue and discuss… do the reading and HAVE an opinion that you can defend! Please, they were literally begging for it in some of my classes…
When I was growing up, my father’s friends used to argue with me about Star Wars and Dune because it was what I had read/ was interested in and they were DESPERATE to discuss ANYTHING!
Conservatives are like any other students, most Professors ONLY agenda is to get those students to THINK and SPEAK UP in class… really.

Sometimes, that’s being impressionable. MOST times, that’s being a clockwatcher, taking a course for the necessary credit, doing the minimum amount of work and class participation necessary, getting your grade and moving on. In other words, doing what 99% of anyone who’s ever been a student in ANY institute of learning does 99% of the time.

They pay for it, and all of them can afford it.
Really? What do they do? I don’t know very many people who have an extra $5k lying around… what line of work are you in?
It costs me about $3,700 per month, so the remaining approximately $1,200 is covered by employees.
About $5K/mo for medical coverage…. how many employees does that cover?
4??? 5??? 6??? 7???
You say the cost has gone down during the last year, due to a higher deductible, but that’s misleading. If, and when your employees use that coverage, it does cost THEM more. You just moved certain increased costs to THEIR side of the ledger.

If a student has not developed the ability for critical analysis by the time he/she reaches college, then no amount of schooling is going to help. Likewise for most other skills such as proficient reading and writing appropriate for a college level. “Impressionable” is a lot of hooey.

October 20th, 2009 at 1:36 pmI’ll tell you this, aaronk… I went to school for playwritng and directing… I once wrote an entire ‘Director’s concept paper’ on ‘Hamlet’ for a Shakespeare class that took the position that Hamlet should be played as the villain of the piece.
Everything is fine in Denmark until he starts seeing ghosts and killing people.
An English professor read it and rejected it out of hand as ‘wrong and a misrepresentation of Shakespeare’s work.’ The only time that EVER happened to me in college.
She knew the correct answer and I was wrong and that was all there was to say about that, the ONLY time a professor TOLD me the answer and did not want to hear my arguments or have a discussion.
She was also a precinct chair for the Republican party… just sayin’
October 20th, 2009 at 1:36 pmThe ultimate goal of a college education is to give you the critical thinking skills to:
1)Think for yourself, and
2)Make informed decisions for which you are responsible.
Two concepts that are foreign to rightwing reactionaries.

He had 4 Guatemalans hogging dirt out of his basement while I worked w/ a licensed contractor doing the tricky structural work.

Thanks for the headsup Tom. All I can say about that is that, while I’m not here all the time, I’ve been around for a while, and if libs and progs and indies and mods don’t want to be accused of being idiots – you know, as conservatives are wont to do to us thinkin’ types – they won’t dismiss what someone writes just because it comes from a moniker similar to one they’ve come to loathe. because then it seems like they’re addressing the person making the point (with all inherent biases) and not the actual point.
After all, if an “Angelenos80″ or a “Ferd” started perusing the site and linking to stormfront, I’m sure neither angels81 nor fred would like getting blowback meant for those IDs.
If liberals are supposed to be SO well-educated, then it stands to reason that you KNOW HOW to READ. So know to whom you are speaking when you start spouting insta-hate. It can wind up making you look, forgive me for using such a small word, dumb.

How about the University of Chicago’s Economics Cirriculum, so long dominated by Milton Friedman, may he rest in obscurity?
How about every MBA program that contributes to the manufacture of sociopaths around the country.
How about all of those history classes where the ideas of the right are so prominent? Admittedly, they are normally examples of abyssmal failure, but there they are.
October 20th, 2009 at 1:53 pmWow Zooey, my college, East Tennessee State, also has only one person. Weirdly enough, he calls himself spear carrier. That seems to be the rule, rather than the exception. Each chapter is made up of the loneliest guy on campus. I would feel sorry for him, but it’s tough to have sympathy for the most extreme wingnut in the school.

Even the local fundie whackjob “college” has no members. Of course, there are no lefty faculty to report, so where’s the fun?
October 20th, 2009 at 2:00 pmTook a look at the site for my alma mater. Not much going on there. I think I’ll bookmark it and go back occasionally to see if they’re taking flak or getting hammered.
I’d think most students don’t have time for this kind of BS, but there are always the few who do.

October 20th, 2009 at 2:10 pm@ 222. LividLib says: Translation – Smash education on campus. nothing new here. right wing conservatives have been on this crusade for decades. It’s no secret their very existence is dependent on an electorate full of ignorance and fear. Ronnie was the dumbing down of America poster boy and Dumbya took it and fear to unprecedented levels.

Are you kidding me? (warning, that was rhetorical)
Smash education on (college and university) campus? (ditto)
These bastards started at the other end, where they get the most bang for the buck denied – elementary schools. Trash primary public education and it doesn’t matter how much money gets thrown or denied to secondary and tertiary. You won’t have people that can get over the threshold. There’s a reason, well, several reasons, for the insane growth in remedial English, Mathematics, etc, at the college freshman level. One big component in that growth is resource denial at the primary and secondary level, coupled with some other stupidities.
October 20th, 2009 at 2:14 pmThey must think that all college students are gullible sheep like they are! I’ve had liberal and conservative profs who I disagreed with but wanted to know their expert opinion so I could mull it over. Again, a lecture or speech is indoctrination, but the Pledge of Allegiance isn’t?
October 20th, 2009 at 2:26 pmI day say that of the 230+ comments posted so far, I am not the only one to have looked at the Leadership Institute acronym, LI, and thought: Right-wingers practicing truth in advertising?!?!? Since LIE is what LI (and any right-winger whit his/her mouth open) does, you wouldn’t think they’d be so blatant about it!

Aw, poor little baby. So now you’re complaining because he embraced republicanism, and low regulation? I thought that was you guys’ mantra? Don’t tell me you’re embracing regulation?
Oh, the irony!
October 20th, 2009 at 4:43 pmHow’d they get a 501(c)3? Such orgs cannot in any way support or oppose anyone running for public office, though they may be involved in political campaigns by way of non-partisan public forums, voter registration drives, etc.
MoveOn.org is a 501(c)4, which can engage in political campaign activity, so long as this is consistent with the organization’s purpose and is not the organization’s primary activity.

YOU define scum. Except overall you are much stupider
October 20th, 2009 at 4:59 pmaaron wants to support a group because they call liberals scum. Typical. So stupid and so insecure. Such an ignorant piece of dogshit. He feels so inferior. Mostly because he is that this seems worthy to someone of his undeniable stupidity
October 20th, 2009 at 5:00 pmAm I correct in assuming that their web address is WWW. WAAAAAAAH.COM??
October 20th, 2009 at 5:07 pmYeah, because they are so effective at getting college-age voters (snark!)?
October 20th, 2009 at 6:38 pmNow just one more reason i joined the Democratic Party: at least us libs know how to think for ourselves, not what we are told to think. And honestly, if a college student is dumb enough to think what they are told to think..A) They should not be in college now, since they’re just going to waste their money or their parents money or B). They should not be allowed to vote in any election..
This is a good example of why we should have i.q. tests for potential voters; those whose i.q. isn’t up to a certain minimum score will not be allowed to vote.
You can’t educate people and expect them to think like right-wing morons at the same time. That’s the whole point of the education. If Mr. Blackwell went to school himself, he would have found this out…assuming he stayed awake in class.
Remember, there is help for the ignorant.
October 20th, 2009 at 7:49 pmI joined CampusReform.org as joemccarthywasright. Within 5 hours they emailed me telling me that the content of my blog (at Beloit college) was “innapropriate” (no spell checker at CampusReform.org?) and edit it or I’ll be deleted.
They didn’t blink at my username of joemccarthywasright, but “Why a liberal arts education? Why not a conservative arts education?” freaked them out. Too funny!
It’s great fun. Check it out at:

October 21st, 2009 at 2:09 amA Right-Wing Evangelical “Christian’s” Night-time Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray to God my soul to keep
I voted for Bush the Texacutioner
Who put more people to death than an executioner
The highest execution rate of any governor in history
How he was elected president is still a mystery
The biggest serial killer since Timothy McVeigh,
mocks Karla’s pleas for clemency during her final days
I hold stoutly to my world view
Despite being contradicted by what is proven true
I believe the earth to be only 4000 years old
“Intelligent” design is the view I hold
Even though evolution explains how life changed and adapted
verified by countless experiments not retracted
the scientific facts should be stricken as inadmissible
teaching creationism to our children is permissible
Take some parts literally, others out of place
And I can use the Bible to judge the whole human race
Pat Robertson said 9/11 was a punishment from God
That innocents died instead of him he didn’t find odd
For lifestyles of feminism, liberalism, and being gay
Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson said over 3,000 people died that day
That God will punish them for their remark
Pride has hidden from a judgmental heart
“After the last tree standing is felled”
“Christ will come back” I heard James Watt tell
you see evangelicals don’t care about generations
because they won’t have to be here to face elimination
“compassionate” conservatives fantasize about journeying through the air
As Left Behind: The Series plays out below everywhere
While pollution they caused brings about ecological collapse
It doesn’t bother them that people will die perhaps
