Over the next two weeks, I’ll be on the road again… on another trip as the “ISI missionary”. Here’s where you’ll find me: April 17: Bucknell University (Lewisburg, PA)April 18: Penn State University (lunch in State College, PA)April 18: Grove City CollegeApril 19: Hiram College (lunch)April 19: Franciscan University for ISI Lecture and meeting with […]

Check out my recent post on Reagan Children.com about the debate between David Horowitz and infamous professor Ward Churchill on the topic, “Can and should politics be taken out of the classroom?” I also provide a few more details about my private (and unexpected) hour-long conversation with Ward Churchill and two of his friends at […]

You will never believe this. I just had about an hour conversation with Ward Churchill in a hotel bar here in DC and I’m about to go see him debate David Horowitz… he wrote the above passage in my copy of Horowitz’s book, “The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America.” Honestly, I didn’t […]

On Tuesday evening, I ventured about 30 minutes south of Oklahoma City to the campus of the University of Oklahoma, where some College Republicans had set up a “Get to Know ISI” soiree. It was in a very nice room in their student union. A lot like the other 2 soirees, about 30 people in […]

I had a few free hours in the afternoon, so I visited the Oklahoma City National Memorial. It featured an outdoor area, with a reflecting pond and 168 “empty chairs” on the site where the federal building that was bombed on April 19, 1995, was bombed. On opposite ends of the reflecting pond are big […]

You can almost picture the “sooners” running for the great land chase in the late nineteenth century. There’s still so much open land, I feel like I could have run out […]

Monday night, we had another “Get to Know ISI” soiree at the University of Dallas. UD is a small, Catholic liberal arts school in the suburbs of Dallas, in an area called Irving (the campus is literally about a mile from where the Dallas Cowboys play). On Sunday night, I attended mass there (lots of […]

This past weekend in Dallas, I attended the 26th annual state convention of the Young Conservatives of Texas. It was a blast. Basically the YCT’ers have chapters on campuses across the Lone Star state. They are similar to the College Republicans, however they aren’t necessarily “Republican” – but they’re conservative. In other words, they don’t […]

I just got back from a 3 1/2 hour dinner in a private room of a very nice restaurant here in Waco, Texas with the “Self-Selected Aristocratic Order of the Vital Remnants.” That’s the name of the ISI Group at Baylor. Before I go on and describe what this group does, let me remind you […]
