Newt Gingrich asks conservatives to support college Republicans

February 27th, 2009 By: Michael van der Galien | Tags:

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has made a video for College Republicans asking conservative citizens to donate to this conservative organization. As Newt explains in the video, Republicans have lost a lot of ground on college campuses. Liberals do not only dominate the academic debate, and the staff of universities, they also form the far, far majority of students.

The reason for the above is quite simple: Republicans haven’t done enough to inform students about conservative principles and ideas. They only hear liberals explain why they believe that conservatives are stupid and that only more government can possibly help the country.

If Republicans are serious about taking their country back, they have to start at universities. One way to do so is, of course, by using the Internet more actively and effectively. That will not suffice, however. More than anything, conservatives need to step up to the plate at campuses. They need to inform (fellow) students about conservatism and educate them. They have to become active on every single college and university in the States. Professors and liberalism have to be challenged.

Watch the video first, then donate to College Republicans.

    Rampant liberalism among university faculty isn’t right of course, but is it really the place of any professor to be spouting of their political views under the guise of lecture?

    Professors

    Jason would disagree. :P
