Liberty U. Bans Democrats

[ClydeR]

Jerry Falwell's university has banned its student Democrat Party club from the campus. I applaud this move, and I hope more schools do the same.


The message said, in part, “The Democratic Party platform is contrary to the mission of Liberty University and to Christian doctrine (supports abortion, federal funding of abortion, advocates repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, promotes the ‘LGBT’ agenda, hate crimes, which include sexual orientation and gender identity, socialism, etc.),” according to the newspaper. The Democratic group at Liberty has expressed opposition to abortion rights and gay marriage.

The campus also has a College Republicans group.

...the local institution that helped formulate a lot of my opinions on Christians and Republicans. They're quality people.

I could see them being pissed though, honestly. The Obama religion people rocked out on their campus.

I know a guy who used to tour with Falwell's personal choir.

He's a douche and one of the biggest liars I have ever met.

So you're a Fallwell choir groupy?

[Warriorbird]

I wouldn't say groupie exactly. My family's gotten death threats before.

so much for any pretensions that it's an actual University.

The university has a right to decide who uses their campus. Notre Dame had a right to keep pro-life protestors off their campus when Obama spoke at their graduation. They even had Alan Keyes arrested for trespassing.
