Marxism She is a pawn . Karl Marx who real name is Moses Mordecai Marx Levy was a rabbi student under his uncle Moses Hess. Jewish supremacist rabbi. Marx wrote the communist manifesto out of the Babylonian Talmud. The goyim was the beast of burden for the chosen ones. All the weath is for the chosen ones. AND THE peons gentiles are at the mercy of them. Since nearly all the meida is jewish owned. Marxist talmudism will not come from the point of a gun but from the words she reads

To "natashapelousi": Hey girl, where did the liberals let you down? Why are you using this term as a perjorative? Were you "liberally brainwashed" at someone's university and, like any "born again", want to let everyone know the "truth"? I was a liberal before I attended university, I don't think you can be brainwashed against your nature, my dear...Could be wrong, please correct my ideas if you'd like....

[Gina Griffin]

Two thumbs up

[JJ Sunshine]

[JJ Sunshine]

I guess amadinejad and chavez were already booked. columbia university invited amadinejad to speak which was deplorable so it's not totally unheard of in our liberal biased universities. Why do our universities brainwash our students with a liberal biased agenda and liberal biased divisive speakers?

Why not have barbara bush speak/ How bout hannity or bill o'reilly? no huh?
