I’ve been writing for The Eagle for two years, longer than any other columnist. I applied at the beginning of my freshman year and was hired by Charlie Szold, now The Eagle’s editor in chief. Since that time, through the tenures of Graham Vyse and current Editorial Page Editor Joe Wenner, there has been a fairly laissez-faire policy toward columnists’ submissions. Save for grammatical errors and statements whose truth was dubious, columns were typically printed as is.

Jeremiah Headen likely lost the vice presidency of the Student Government over a hyperbolic Facebook note. Its contents — a blast of old-school masculinity — slammed men for not realizing that being manly had nothing to do with what is between one’s legs, but rather is about values, stoic resolve and hard work. It ended with a silly, all-caps call to raid booty and women from neighboring villages.

This week’s column was difficult to write. Not because of the content, of course - but because of what I had to leave out. I could have written this column about the Women’s Initiative’s new venture, the “Vagina Men” campaign (can I start a “Penis Women” counter-campaign?). But alas, I’ve spilled too much ink whining about feminist follies; this column, instead, will address something of actual consequence.

The contemporary university is defined by its culture, not its curriculum. It is a conscious, deliberate effort to drain students of meaning, self-confidence and intellectual discernment.

Hearing the complaints of college students, one might imagine himself to have wandered into the ghetto. Now, it may be confusing at first glance to think that one of the most expensive universities in the country harbors anyone other than the luckiest 20-year-olds on Earth — or, in their own words, the most “privileged” - but this is silly talk. To understand the collective psyche of university political culture, one has to realize that one walks among the oppressed, the damned, the downtrodden.

What happens when prejudice doesn’t die but merely changes its form?

Why are we installing a Feminist Resource Center? Oops! I mean — Women’s Resource Center?

Cultural relativism is an objectively incoherent doctrine.

I would like to dedicate this column to Community Action and Social Justice, Students for Justice In Palestine, and everyone who has ever taken a Gender Studies class. Without you all, I would have little to assure me of my personal sanity.

Not content with angering senior citizens, Obama has turned his guns on the nation’s kids: it is his proposal that American schools should add time to the school day to “stay competitive” with other countries. Our school system’s calendar, Education Secretary Arne Duncan explains, is “based upon the agrarian economy, and not too many of our kids are working the fields today.”

The 20th century philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein was known for breaking down sentences and everyday terms and finding them to be fairly arbitrary in meaning. His conclusions were often rather shoddy, but his processes were frequently eye-opening. Inspired by some of his methods -- and by those of others who would sometimes take a crack at how we use language, including famous anti-statist Herbert Spencer -- we will now proceed to unpack the sentence "Universal health care should be a right."

After last week's much-ballyhooed speech to the Muslim world, it should now be blindingly apparent that President Barack Obama is utterly hostile to the cause of Israel. The ahistorical leftist narrative of Israeli history he subscribes to is one only shared by those who take issue with the existence of the Jewish state. But as Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously put it: we're entitled to our own opinions, but not to our own facts. Anti-Israel forces have continually made up their own facts, and it appears that our esteemed president has swallowed the Kool-Aid. Let's review the speech, shall we?

By now, most AU students are aware of the controversy surrounding the selection of Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., as the commencement speaker for the School of Public Affairs.

Shortly before his death, "Mr. Conservative" Barry Goldwater told a reporter he often thinks of "these moneymaking ventures by fellows like Pat Robertson and others who are trying to take the Republican Party and make a religious organization out of it."

Gosh, those "progressives" sure caught that mean old Tom Tancredo in a trap, didn't they? A few weeks ago, the former congressman was brought to campus by the newly launched right-wing group Youth for Western Civilization to give a speech on the importance of assimilation and the value of Western culture (full disclosure: I am media director for the organization). A few hundred black-shirted juveniles holding up signs vapidly proclaiming "America is Multicultural" met him. The pinnacle of the event for those "progressives" was when Tancredo fumbled around the question of "whether the Pilgrims should have assimilated with the Native Americans."

In my previous column, which AU Queers and Allies advocacy co-coordinator Matt Bulger compared to Mein Kampf after dismissing my points and calling me an "Uncle Tom," I outlined why I, as a gay man, can feel at home in the Republican Party. I took great pains to drive home the point that I do not define myself by my sexuality and thus don't begin examining each political candidate's platform with my only thought in mind being, for example, "Okay, what does Mitt Romney think about my sexual orientation?" (Alright, maybe Mitt Romney was a bad example: it depends on which day you catch him on.)

I am a gay Republican. I am not "self-hating." I am not confused.

If the Republican Party is to rebuild, it's going to have to drag its core supporters kicking and screaming out of the echo chamber.
