J Spencer : Conservatism made simple

[Manix]

Lately, Colorado Gov. Bill Owens and Senate President John Andrews have been criticized for trying to force state colleges to hire more conservative professors.

Guys, I feel your pain.

This society is awash in such anti-conservative programs as Social Security, Medicare and government-mandated minority rights.

That's why I propose a new college course called The Right Stuff.

Today, I offer an outline of this course free of charge. Tomorrow, in keeping with free markets, it'll cost you $1,500.

I based this course on quotes from www.conservatism.com The website bills itself as "the definitive guide to political conservative issues and news." It's sort of Government 101 for Colorado's new hiring drive.

Week 1: Past Glory

Theme from Conservatism.com: "No society is perfectly unified. ... Which groups are treated as subordinate ... and which are treated as resident aliens, criminals or foreign oppressors is ... determined by the traditions. ..."

1. Conservatives

I loved this part:

"Question: Why aren't there more right-wing college professors?

After studying up on this, I believe the answer lies in a subject that could not fill five minutes of a single class: Compassion."

Very true....
