All three of you cause me great concern. You're all college students or live in close proximity to college campuses, and you have all expressed conservative sympathies. I'm curious about what your major political influences have been; about what has influenced you to post the things that you have here, and on the "presidential test" thread.

roachboy, do you see these three posters as typical...you've spent time working and visiting in classrooms and other campus loctions. I am not trying to criticize. I am consumed with curiousity. What has changed in the last 30 years?

Here is a site dedicated to the memory of events "on campus", on May 4, 1970, and it attempts to link the april, 2006 VT tragedy to the one in 1970, in an attempt to offer support and experience:

In the days after the Kent State shootings, no one was talking about CC for students as a "never again" preventative.

http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showpos...7&postcount=40 There is a description here about the reaction of a now famous politician to the mid 1960's student protests at Berkeley.

I listened <a href="http://dennisprager.townhall.com/TalkRadio/Show.aspx?RadioShowID=3&ContentGuid=47e648f8-2be3-43e3-97ec-38fbd682e7fc">(it starts at 24:20...)</a> to Dennis Prager on the radio tonight, and I heard him say that "Sarkhozy loves the United States, only the left around the world, hates the United States, the United States is hated by the left...leftist Frenchman hate America, conservative Frenchmen love America..."

Prager is a prominent, nationally syndicated radio personality and columnist on the 1200 plus station, Salem Radio Network, and on Salem owned townhall.com conservative political website.

It would have never occurred to me to consider my campus in 1970. as
"very liberal", but I'm also astounded that there would be a discussion about arming college students with concealed handguns...in a society that does not trust them to legally possess and responsibly consume alcohol until most of them are at least third year students.

...and people, including those who attain higher education, generally become more conservative politically, as they age and/or prosper. What are these signs of having a "head start", about?
