will be the primary winner. There's a chance that this will be deja vu. It's not even an election year, does the current university president not have any self-awareness that makes him reflect a bit, and maybe he ought to curb the politics just a little bit?

Of course, the same college president disbanded the school's College Democrats Club, because there just can't be any show of appreciation of Democratic office holders. He cites the abortion issue for that, and also why the debate club is forbidden to argue for abortion.

...the German Democratic Republic, Democratic Republic of Kampuchea, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Democratic People's Republic of Korea pop into mind. Because just as democracy is the farthest thing from the minds of the people running North Korea and East Germany, liberty is the last thing on the minds of the current operators of Jerry Falwell's Theocracy Mill.

We drive right by it when we visit the in-laws in Roanoke. Jerry was insured up to his eyeballs when he dropped dead. They are building like crazy - totally obscuring the visual- including a massive domed ( get it - like Jefferson) admin building, several dorms, and a few years ago they added an artificial ski slope.
