  • Campuses Nationwide Celebrate Freedom Week 2011

    GPN Berlin Wall100 high school and college campuses took part in Freedom Week 2011.

    Conservative clubs and Young Americans for Freedom chapters across the country tore down Berlin Walls, warned their classmates about runaway government spending, and honored America's military.

    Conservatives at Providence College hosted Yan Bielek who escaped then communist-controlled Czechoslavakia. According to an article in the campus newspaper, Bielek was told as a child that the communist government supposedly supported individual freedoms, but soon came to learn that was a lie, "Bielek says that there was only freedom of speech, 'if you spoke in favor of Socialism' and no religion was allowed at all. The pay was on average $75 per month for workers, which would not change for the rest of a person's life. This left many citizens without proper funding for retirement, including Beliek's own grandparents, who needed to be funded by his father.

    Conservatives at Florida State University, Florida Atlantic University, UNC-Chapel Hill, UCLA, and Grosse Point North High School YAF Chapter among others tore down a mock Berlin Wall on November 9, the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

    Sarah Telle with Marshall County High School YAF encouraged her classmates to write thank you letters to soldiers. Quoted in her local paper, Sarah said, "We really wanted to do something for the soldiers here at the holidays. They don't get to come home and spend time with their families like we do and we just wanted them to know how much we appreciate the sacrifices they are making for us."

    • repeatedly that I think immigration past a crtiaen (as yet undefined) percentage of the total population over a short period of time (once again, yet undefined) is a danger to an ordered society.It is clear to me, from having spent time in the UK, that your major cities past this undefined number quite a while ago, and little assimilation is possible at this point. The immigrants have their ghettoes and they have little motivation to assimilate. You guys do have a real problem. Of that, there is no doubt.Additionally, I want to make it clear that I have my doubts that Muslims can, at all, be expected to assimilate. That is not to say that there are not decent human beings who happen to define themselves as Muslims. I have known such people personally. However, it seems that, wherever one goes in the world, if Muslims are asked the question, "Do you want Sharia law imposed here?" 25-45% of the Muslims polled will respond, "Yes."Therefore, it seems apparenet that Muslims immigration is ALWAYS dangerous.That does not mean that all immigration is dangerous. It seems quite clear to me that Indian Hindus, and Japanese, Chinese, Viet Namese Buddhists, and South American Catholics, and African Protestants make decent and fine immigrants.I live among such people, and I have no trouble getting along with them.
