To ensure the most effective 5 year celebration in the midst of Andrew Breitbart’s passing, the Wabash Conservative Union staff, leadership, and board made the decision to move Growing to Last to Fall 2012. The event will be held at Wabash College, and will feature a new speaker that carries on Andrew Breitbart’s legacy, and that of the Wabash Conservative Union.
Please check back for updates as they develop.
The Wabash Conservative Union was utterly saddened of the recent passing of Andrew Breitbart. Mr. Breitbart was a true patriot for his country, and we all should follow his example of not being afraid to speak the inconvenient truths. Mr. Breitbart was set to speak at Wabash College on April 21. Updates are forthcoming regarding the event.
2011 was a magnificent year for the Wabash Conservative Union Events program. Through support of Wabash College, supporters of WCU, and a the help of Young America’s Foundation, we were able to bring in top-notch speakers.
It all started in March with our first visitor to campus, Star Parker. Star delivered a bold and straight-forward talk on the continuation of government-endorsed welfare and poverty among minorities in urban areas. Star goes as far to say that the culture of dependency within the inner-city is a government “plantation” that does not instill values of hard work or moral behavior, and has led to an increased dependence on abortion. In April, WCU was able to bring former Congressman and Presidential candidate Tom Tancredo to campus. Mr. Tancredo spoke on the importance of a melting-pot, prosperous United States. In his mind, to most effectively ensure that the US is a melting pot, immigrants need to assimilate into the …

Joe Scarborough of MSNBCs Morning Joe makes a good point in regards to the Herman Cain scandal as well as other GOP candidates. ”It has nothing to do with ideology, it’s whether you would trust them not to run the United States of America…”
Scarborough brings up a good point about this entire primary process in general. The trend has been to settle with different candidates during different weeks. In essence, we seemingly have conservative leaders building ships, then bailing on them.
Of course, I follow the conservative leaders seeking a direction, and inside knowledge of various campaigns. However, many conservative and GOP Americans are sick and tired of this game of hype. If our new president can’t effectively get policy through the Congress, we will simply end up with another ideological president.

It is not everyday that I aggressively scan positions of individuals from talk radio. However, lately the immediate dismissal of Herman Cain has been on my mind. I saw this great article from Tom Tancredo (whom WCU brought to campus in Spring 2011 and was a former GOP Presidential candidate and Congressman) that discusses why Herman Cain is a legitimate candidate. Tancredo makes the case as to why Herman Cain’s lack of political experience would have landed him a special place in the Reagan Administration, and why Cain passes the Reagan “three C’s” test.
Yet, Herman Cain is not without some establishment, academic blunders in his campaign strategy. Specifically, Cain has not educated himself enough on foreign policy, and has had some tense relationships with the media. However, Tancredo argues, this does not disqualify him for President- it just may hurt his campaign. It is also important to remember that Tom Tancredo has had 30 years of elected public experience that works to shape this analysis.
In the academic world, Herman Cain is simply not acceptable. I have noticed this lately as 2012 conversations are becoming more and more prevalent on campus. The idea that Cain does not fit the mold of …
Lately, one of the most nationally debated social/moral issues has been marriage – what is the nature of it and how far society can redefine it. There are several reasons for this, including New York’s recent legal recognition of gay marriage and the GOP presidential circus, which at fourteen months before the election is already bidding fair to be quite the endurance contest. Unfortunately, the importance of the issue is not in proportion to the quality of the conversation surrounding it, most of which ranges from the platitudinous (such as this sort of thing) to the fatuous (such as the fuss over Marcus Bachmann’s counseling service).
To anyone who wants to understand what’s at stake in the question, I very highly recommend this blog series by Steven Greydanus of the National Catholic Register. Those who take the time to read all the parts of this series (I suggest making time for it by cutting your daily ration of network news) will receive a remarkably clear and lucid explanation of the social role of marriage, the causes of the decline in its performance of this role in recent decades, the devastating societal consequences of such decline, and how a lingering …
Check out this shocking clip:
WCU Spring 2011 speaker Tom Tancredo is verbally assaulted by Martin Bashir on live cable news. Mr. Tancredo is asked whether he would, “have then preferred the death of the president as opposed to Bin Laden?” Mr. Bashir then proceeds to slander Mr. Tancredo into oblivion.
Perhaps this is an overworked and classic Conservative question. Why is it that Republicans are always the bigots?
CBS News commits one of the worst and blatant blunders I have seen in a while, in its article “Bloody Pig’s Foot Sent to Rep. Peter King.” Rep. King (R) of New York was sent a bloody pig’s foot in the mail. This package was intercepted at a congressional screening facility. Rep. King has been making some controversial headlines lately for his discussions of radical Islam.
So, what does CBS News do? They interview Mr. Ibrahim Hooper, Communications Director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Mr. Hooper drops the seemingly predictable line, “My guess is that it was an anti-Muslim bigot, and bigots not being brain surgeons they probably got their signals crossed.”
It is amazing to me that Mr. Hooper and CBS News completely bypass discussion that maybe the act could have been from someone other than a [stereotypical] “bigot.” Immediately CBS claims that “Muslims are forbidden from eating pork products.” Now, I will take a more professional journalistic approach and say that I have no proof of who committed this act. However, I question why CBS believes that A) not eating something = …
