Buy Us A Cup of Coffee? Help Enduring America Expand Its Coverage and Analysis

As our loyal readers know, Enduring America devotes itself to ensuring that truth, apple pie, and the American Way are promoted on these pages. Unfortunately, others do not appreciate these values. Even today, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the demise of Fidel Castro, and the emergence of Glenn Beck as Ruler of the Media Universe,there are professors lingering in our classroom to spread their Marxist, truthiness-denying, baby-stealing ideas.

Fear not, Dear Reader. The patriots of The Leadership Institute, which is an institute that leads, have established a website called Campus Reform to purge these Red evildoers. (Yes, yes, Stalin and the Chinese had purges. But this is a Very Good Purge.) On this site, you can read, “Don’t Let America Drift to Communism”, “Support a Reformer” (Yes, yes, Lenin and Mao had reforms. But this is a Very Good Reform.), and, most importantly, “Take Back Your Campus” by naming, shaming, and running Leftie Professors out of town.

EA, your defender of Creationist Good Sense, supports this valiant campaign. Our first target is a nasty piece of work called Professor Scott Lucas at Vanderbilt University. He has been outed by a true Red, White, & Blue student, a Mr Graham Sheehan, as “an extremely dangerous lecturer, writer, and activist who should only be approached with caution”, because of his “tactic amassing evidence in support of his analysis, overwhelming faith-based assertions”.

It’s easy, Dear Reader. Just sign in to Campus Reform, make yourself an honorary member of Vanderbilt University, and add your flag-waving comments. With your help, EA can drive this Lucas fellow into the Red academic hole where he belongs, reducing his rantings to some obscure website.

HONOURABLE MENTION: THE ALL IS WELL IN IRAQ COMMENT

Marine Captain Giles Clarke writes in The New York Times of running a half-marathon in Baghdad:

As I sprinted across the finish line, though, I knew it was all for a greater good. I knew that I was contributing to something much bigger than myself. How did I know this? I just ran a half-marathon in Baghdad.

Totally Irrelevant Fact (1):

Three bombings targeting Iraqi government employees and the U.S.-fortified Green Zone killed at least 20 people and left scores wounded Monday.

Totally Irrelevant Fact (2):

Number of US military personnel who ran the half-marathon: More than 200
Number of Iraqis who ran the half-marathon: 0

BRONZE MEDAL: I LOVE YOU, YES, I DO COMMENT

David Ignatius gets misty-eyed over Condoleezza Rice in The Washington Post:

Condoleezza Rice may be the most disciplined person in this town of workaholics. She has always been the perfect young woman, pleasing and impressing others.

Dave’s Afterthought:

Now the issue of U.S.-Iranian relations will be handed over to the Obama administration. “We ran out of time,” says one administration official.

The Question Dave Did Not Ask Condi:

Why?

SILVER MEDAL: THE BETTER LATE THAN NEVER COMMENT

The Washington Post celebrates Presidential justice:

THE BUSH administration acted fairly and responsibly this week in deciding to release Osama bin Laden’s former driver from the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and return him to his home country of Yemen.

Suggestion made by The Post:

The White House has another opportunity to do the right thing, this time in the case of 17 Chinese Uighurs held at Guantanamo.

Suggestion not made by The Post:

Anything to do with the other 235 detainees at Camp X-Ray

GOLD MEDAL: THE TRIBUTE TO CONSERVAPEDIA COMMENT

In The Washington Post, George Will joins Conservapedia’s vigilant defence against Dangerous Professors, reviewing Stanley Fish’s book, Save the World on Your Own Time:

Fish’s advocacy of a banal proscription — of explicit political preaching in classrooms — may have made him anathema to academia’s infantile left. The shrewder left will, however, welcome his book because it denies or defends other politicizations of academia that are less blatant but more prevalent and consequential — those concerning hiring and curricula.

For those who can’t quite make it through that paragraph, here is Conservapedia’s translation:

Professor values are currently one of the most prevalent forms of Liberal indoctrination.
