I'm not quite sure where Megan Green from the College Democrats was getting her facts in her letter yesterday ("Moore appearance worth extra money"), but Young Americans for Freedom got $15,000 for Bernard Goldberg from University Park Allocations Committee this semester, not $20,000. Goldberg, a former CBS Reporter who wrote Bias, is much more credible than Michael Moore, and to compare a political idiot whose documentaries are riddled with errors and downright lies to a serious journalist like Goldberg is rather insulting. I'm not quite sure what UPAC expects me to be able to learn from Moore, as it's quite difficult to figure out the truth in all his lies, which are plentiful as he doesn't seem to do much else except bash people who are a heck of a lot smarter than he is. Even the scales of liberal and conservative are far from balanced in the distribution of monetary funds from the Distinguished Speakers Series. Groups like Young Americans for Freedom get most of their money from donors or the Young American's Foundation. I'm sure that if you look at the percentage of money spent on liberal ideas and speakers and events from UPAC, you'd see that conservatives and YAF get a measly percentage of the money. And if YAF (or College Republicans) weren't around, I'm pretty confident that students would rarely, if ever, get to hear the conservative side of the issue. You'd just hear the watered down, university-friendly version of the conservative agenda from wishy-washy moderates with no firm set of ideals, like what you hear from the Penn State Republicans, the "new" Republican group on campus.
