    Dear /. readers,

    There is a sinister, wretched cancer growing upon the very fabric of
    American culture. It is eating away at our morals, our health, our
    safety, and most of all, our spirituality. It operates behind
    carefully constructed veils such as "freedom of speech" and "moral
    relativism." I'm, of course, talking about none other than the liberal
    agenda. The nay-sayers. The blame-America-firsters. The political
    dissidents.

    Before I go on, I would like to make it clear that it was not too long
    ago that I was very optimistic with, what I saw, as perhaps a new
    direction our country was taking. This optimism emerged shortly after
    the 9-11 tragedy, when I looked down the street and saw Henry Parker,
    the neighborhood's most outspoken liberal, putting a flag outside his
    door. In my optimism, I reasoned that a tragedy of this magnitude
    should wake up even the most radical liberal permanently! In reality,
    of course, his flag is long gone and he, as well as millions of his
    other fellow leftists, have reverted back to their un-American
    activities.

    During times of peace, perhaps the activities of these iconoclastic
    "citizens" can be tolerated. But when our children live with the
    threatening knife of terrorism poised at their throat, our tolerance
    must be waived. Ann Coulter put this much more eloquently than I, when
    she recently stated that "We need to execute people like John Walker
    in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize
    that THEY can be killed too,"

    How true this is. Up high upon their ivory towers, liberals have
    indeed lost touch with reality. It would seem that they cannot see
    this knife being wielded by the murderous villains in countries all
    around the globe. They have become ungrateful for the things that the
    greatest nation on earth has given them, and their similarities to the
    heathens that the LORD spoke of in Sodom and Gomorrah, is becoming
    shockingly more similar by the minute. Of course, I'm certainly not
    proposing that we indiscriminately rain fire and brimstone upon them,
    but certainly we can give them a nudge, push or blatant smack up side
    the head, to wake them up.

    Perhaps this all seems ambiguous at this point, I apologize for that,
    but it is necessary to spell out a problem unemotionally, so that we
    can create proposals based in pure logic.

    Upon investigation, I realized how we barely dodged a bigger bullet on
    9-11. It is true that the majority of the liberals of this country
    were temporarily whipped into the mentality of a sane individual and
    yes, they stayed out of our way long enough so that we could
    accomplish our most pressing concern. However, there was a minority of
    dissenters who did not feel that the death of some three thousand
    people was worth letting go of their perverted ideology.

    Where do these people hide, you ask? Behind closed doors? In damp,
    dim-lit basements? No, my friends, the fact of the matter is that
    these enemies of the people did not even hide at all. They live on
    college campuses and many of them even stood on street corners and
    pedestrian malls holding up signs that boasted their dementia.

    Although it is widely known that the campuses of U.S. universities
    have long been the breeding grounds of anti-Americanism, communism,
    homosexuality, illicit drug activity and other acts of fornication
    that I cannot even begin to describe. This time, however, they have simply gone
    too far. These pro-anarchy pacifists have declared war upon American
    morality, and I think it's time we finally fought back.

    That is why I propose abolishing the status quo of ALL U.S.
    universities, public and private (with perhaps the exception of Bob
    Jones University). All upper-level administrators should be fired as
    well as all the beatnik socialists that they call "professors". In its
    place, I propose, the military take over all responsibilities that we,
    so foolishly, currently place in the hands of known dissidents. I
    would imagine that many changes would be made to the current
    curriculum of most universities. Art and Music, for example, would
    take on a much more limited (and supervised) role. I'd imagine (or at
    least hope) that Philosophy would be eliminated entirely, as it is a
    field that is well known for converting good, God-fearing Americans
    into heretic dissidents. I'd also imagine that Public Safety officers
    at the campuses would take on a much broader role, to not only uphold
    the physical safety of the campus, but also it's ideological safety
    with the introduction of sweeping un-American activities regulations.

    While the results would not be instantaneous as we would have to wait
    a generation for the remaining liberals to die off, but eventually one
    day we can truthfully and honestly say "United We Stand".

    Thank you and God bless.
