The Gradual Erosion of Liberty

I'm just finishing up the second class that I taught at Washington and Jefferson College.  I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and I look forward to teaching again for them in the future.  Though I've only interacted with 36 students, those students were a mix of all classes and I believe gave me a good idea as to the quality of kids that attend this fine institution.  These kids are bright, engaged in learning and really quite impressive.  I tend toward cynicism but this opportunity to interact with a younger generation leaves me hopeful for the future.

The Blessing of the Firing of Juan Williams

Tags: left, liberal, freedom

Thanks to being fired by NPR, Juan Williams has had his eyes open to the tyranny of thought represented by the leftist progressives running NPR.  One of my favorite daily posts over at HotAir is their "Quotes of the day" and last evening's edition doesn't disappoint.   Continue Reading »
