It was recently brought to our attention that the z College Republican National Committee has never filed a report with the Federal Elections Commission. Upon further investigation in the FEC files, our fears were confirmed. We did, however, find reports froi the Democratic counterpart of the Collecge Republicans which listed contributions as little as $5. 'he budget of the College Republican l4ational Committee :Las been estimated at over 2d7,C000, a figure quoted in a campaign flier by iris ;;ustrow. :ir. 'lustrow is currently the College Republican State Chairr-an of South Carolina.

  • How America Lost Its Mind the Nation’S Current Post-Truth Moment Is the Ultimate Expression of Mind-Sets That Have Made America Exceptional Throughout Its History
    1 How America Lost Its Mind The nation’s current post-truth moment is the ultimate expression of mind-sets that have made America exceptional throughout its history. KURT ANDERSEN SEPTEMBER 2017 ISSUE THE ATLANTIC “You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts.” — Daniel Patrick Moynihan “We risk being the first people in history to have been able to make their illusions so vivid, so persuasive, so ‘realistic’ that they can live in them.” — Daniel J. Boorstin, The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America (1961) 1) WHEN DID AMERICA become untethered from reality? I first noticed our national lurch toward fantasy in 2004, after President George W. Bush’s political mastermind, Karl Rove, came up with the remarkable phrase reality-based community. People in “the reality-based community,” he told a reporter, “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality … That’s not the way the world really works anymore.” A year later, The Colbert Report went on the air. In the first few minutes of the first episode, Stephen Colbert, playing his right-wing-populist commentator character, performed a feature called “The Word.” His first selection: truthiness. “Now, I’m sure some of the ‘word police,’ the ‘wordinistas’ over at Webster’s, are gonna say, ‘Hey, that’s not a word!’ Well, anybody who knows me knows that I’m no fan of dictionaries or reference books. They’re elitist. Constantly telling us what is or isn’t true. Or what did or didn’t happen.

Kidder1 & Amy J. Binder 2 Published online: 1 February 2020 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract In this paper, we report data from interviews with members of conservative political clubs at four flagship public universities. First, we categorize these students into three analytically distinct orientations regarding Donald Trump and his presidency (or what we call Trumpism). There are principled rejecters, true believers, and satisficed partisans. We argue that Trumpism is a disunifying symbol in our respondents’ self- narratives. Specifically, right-leaning collegians use Trumpism to draw distinctions over the appropriate meaning of conservatism. Second, we show how political clubs sort and shape orientations to Trumpism. As such, our work reveals how student-led groups can play a significant role in making different political discourses available on campuses and shaping the types of activism pursued by club members—both of which have potentially serious implications for the content and character of American democracy moving forward. Keywords Americanpolitics.Conservatism.Culture.Highereducation.Identity.Organizations Introduction Donald Trump, first as a candidate and now as the president, has been an exceptionally divisive force in American politics, even among conservatives who typically vote Republican.

  • 1 Commencement Address Augustana College May 23, 2004 Chairman Bradley A. Smith Thank You. As I Thought About What I Might Say T
    Commencement Address Augustana College May 23, 2004 Chairman Bradley A. Smith Thank you. As I thought about what I might say to the Augustana College class of 2004, it occurred to me that a good percentage of you would have been born in 1982. 1982, as it happens, is the year that the situation comedy “Family Ties” debuted on television, starring Michael J. Fox as Alex P. Keaton. And I recalled an early episode of that show, in which the father was packing a school lunch for Alex’s younger sister. As he packed a piece of fruit, Alex, who had been observing the process, noted, “You don’t need to put that in there.” “Oh?” said the Dad. “No. See, we don’t eat the fruit. We eat the cookies, maybe half of the sandwich, but the fruit we just throw away.” “I know that,” replied the Dad. “But as a parent, I’m required to pack it anyway.” I suppose that commencement ceremonies are much the same. You like the parties and gifts and being the center of your families’ attentions; receiving the diploma isn’t bad. The Commencement address? Well, that’s the apple in the lunchbox. But we as educators fill required to provide it anyway. Now, I graduated twenty-four years ago from a school not unlike Augustana – Kalamazoo College. Like Augustana, it is a church affiliated, liberal arts college in a pleasant, mid-sized Midwestern city. I can remember – with some difficulty – who was the commencement speaker at my graduation, but I confess I don’t recall a word of what 1 he said, or even recall him speaking.

  • Candidate Pacs: Follow the Money
    LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF MAINE Candidate PACs: Follow the Money By Ann Luther with the LWVME PAC Study Committee Background The Maine Clean Election Act, passed by citizen initiative in 1996, went into effect in the year 2000 and eliminated large donations to the campaigns of candidates for state office. However, the laws governing political action committees (PACs) were not changed when the Maine Clean Election Act was passed into law. Maine is now one of only fourteen states, and the only one in New England, which has no limits on the amount or source of contributions to PACs. Questions have been raised about the effects of allowing unlimited contributions to PACs that play a role in candidate elections. Do large PAC donors exert undue influence over Maine’s elected officials? Do unlimited contributions to PACs undermine the goals of our publicly funded system? Is there a conflict when publicly funded candidates, who pledge not to accept contributions for their own campaigns, are allowed to raise unlimited funds for PACs which they organize or control? In an effort to answer some of these questions, the League of Women Voters of Maine undertook a comprehensive study of candidate PACs beginning in 2007. This is the fourth in a series of six briefing papers from that study intended to inform League members and the public about the issues involved with candidate PACs. (This and the previous three papers are available at the League of Women Voters of Maine web site at www.lwvme.org .) The portion of the League study presented in this paper examines contributions to and expenditures by candidate PACs in the 2006 general election.

    Campus Battlegrounds for the Fall :: Inside Higher Ed :: Higher Education's Source for N... Page 1 of 3 Advertisement June 25 Campus Battlegrounds for the Fall With the presidential election officially down to two major party candidates, supporters of Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama are turning their attention to strategies for winning over key constituencies. When it comes to one target group — students on college campuses — both campaigns see significant opportunities, but challenging barriers, too. McCain would seem to have the bigger hill to climb, given Obama’s ability to entice and excite young voters, and aides to the Arizona Republican acknowledge that hurdle. But Obama has his own campus problem: keeping disaffected supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton from bolting to McCain after their bruising primary campaign. In the weeks Clinton’s concession this month, rumors have been buzzing that disappointed supporters of the vanquished Democrat may cross party lines to support McCain — and in a few instances they have. In a letter last week to members Students for Hillary at the University of Iowa, the group’s co-chairs, Cody Eliff and Nicole Dziuban, expressed their support for the Republican senator from Arizona. The letter cites reasons such as the unfair treatment of Clinton by the media and by the Obama campaign, as well as Obama being “unqualified” to be president. Also in the letter, Eliff says that Obama did not win the nomination, but was handed it by the Democratic National Committee, citing how it handled the results from the Michigan primary. The letter also suggests that those who don’t want to support McCain consider backing Cynthia McKinney, a former U.S.

I agree with the premise that the United States is deeply politically divided but am hesitant whether I have anything useful to say in response to the questions.
