From Yale: International Idealism not Conservative
It is the height of arrogance to suggest that America holds the key to the poltical future of the entire world, and that the only quality we need worry about is our resolve. We can resolve to carry out a course of action, but that course of action may not be realistic or feasable.

This Monday (the 10th) I attended a lecture by Francis Fukuyama, the well known former neo-con and author of “The End of History and the Last Man”. Professor Fukuyama now believes that neo-conservatism is dying, and that it led the Bush administration to a number of incorrect decisions which in turn led to the current situation in Iraq, which Fukuyama is not satisfied with.

I ventured out on a journalistic field trip today and attended one of the countless "pro-immigration" rallies that took place across the country. In my neck of the woods, several hundred people gathered outside the Federal Building in downtown Fort Lauderdale to protest—well, something. I saw signs ranging from the benign ("God made immigrants, too") to the revolutionary ("Impeach Bush! No more borders--No more war!").
Everyone seemed to agree on at least one thing: The House immigration bill is no good, and any other measure that would strengthen US immigration laws should be strenuously opposed.

The College Cons Are Talking: Libs Beware!
A brand-new radio show called “The Right of Way Show” is now podcasting for collegiate conservatives. The ROW show is like a radio version of this blog – with the same mission of connecting politically lonely conservatives and doing our best to keep the universities accountable to the real world.
From their site: “ The Right of Way Show (The ROW Show) is a completely student run network that exists to help voice the young conservative thought. The ROW Show is both a podcast (internet radio show) and an online community that exists to connect young conservatives all across the nation. We welcome young people from all political backgrounds to share their thoughts on both the show and the web site.”
Give them a listen.
