Another DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener

The Bradford Center for Educational Freedom is excited to begin another academic year of providing conservative students with the tools and training to battle the liberal bias on campuses across the country

DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener #346: Jeff Barea

No one has ever campaigned to be bestowed a DUMB@$$ AWARD before…and while some might find that unseemly, I think it’s cute. Never mind the fact that it speaks to the fact that only a true DUMB@$$ would campaign for a DUMB@$$ AWARD. Barea, the proud proprietor of the Bradford Center for Educational Freedom (an oxymoron if ever there was one….), devotes his time and energy to the care and feeding of the poor downtrodden campus Conservative, that poor patriot shackled by the tyranny of Liberalism. Yes, BCEF is all about fighting The Man, that bearded, corduroyed, wild-eyed Liberal Devil who pulls the levers of Higher Education, leaving Pure and Brave Conservatives to fight their way through the ideological wilderness on their own.

So what’s a True Believer to do? Well, silly…that’s easy. Paint yourself as a poor, downtrodden minority, cry “Persecution!”, and bemoan your fate to anyone who will listen (and, hopefully, send you money).

The Bradford Center for Educational Freedom, Inc. was established in 1994 as a tribute to Chairman Jeff Barea’s mentor Dr. M. E. Bradford the late famous paleo-conservative that inspired generations of young conservatives to become involved in the political process.

Founded by Barea, Margaret A. McGowan, and Robert Lipscomb to promote conservative movements on campuses across Texas, and the United States.

The Bradford Center has had enormous success on campuses from the University of Houston to New York University.

‘Cuz Lords knows we Liberals are a nasty, brutish, discriminatory bunch who don’t tolerate self-absorbed, Amerika uber Alles Conservatives, eh? I guess that would explain why we have a Republican President, and why both houses of Congress are controlled by Republicans, huh??

The Bradford Center for Educational Freedom, Inc. Is a nonprofit educational foundation which focuses on building and nurturing the conservative student movements on college and university campuses. BCEF works to educate the campus communities about conservativism and assisting student support organizations in their ability to educate and then activate students into civic involvement both on the campus level as well as the general community.

No problems here. Honestly, I have no problem with Conservative groups on college campuses. Hey, it’s a free country….

What I object to is the College Republican battle cry of “Poor, poor pitiful me…persecuted and repressed by the Evil Liberal Bullies.” In addition to being patently absurd, it simply points out the reality that Conservatives have little to offer college students in the way of ideas. If the only way you can attract attention to yourself and you ideology is to cry persecution simply because you are roundly ignored, you’re truly in a sorry state.

If you want to be taken seriously, come up with ideas that will resonate with college students. Otherwise, shut the hell up. Your whining and bleating merely exposes you as the intellectually and ideology bereft collection of desperate individuals you are. Stop whining and get to work.

BTW- enjoy your 15 minutes….
