That they did so despite the blogswarm is a credit to them. Some students deserved the criticism tha they received, but to be honest clearly there was a gross and uninformed over-reaction. Perhaps now may be a good time for those who jumped on the bandwagon without thinking.

This is important to note because, while they may be inclined to rail against 'the system', they have not really participated in said system. They spend the first 18 years of their yong lives living on their parents largess. And then the next 4 years doing the same. They often regard themselves as independent. But in reality are still supported by their parents. most of these students will graduate and be forced to live in the real world. Pay taxes, bills, mortgages, and the like. It is then that they often realize that their left-leaning ways are not what it is cracked up to be. I think this is why the average age of the young republicans is 24. It is about a year or two after the students graduate and, for the first time, learn how the real world works.

Now we'll see if the memorial gets proper funding.

I don't think they realize how badly they need to remember the sacrifices of those who have enabled the University to be what it is. I also think some students got a hard lesson in reality, and at least one was not ready for it. I’m happy the UW is putting up a memorial.

The hard left make up 140% of the public noise and jackass rhetoric, but barely 5% of the overall populace if that. No doubt on a college campus you'll find a higher percentage, but generally they can't stand to be "numbered", so if it looks like they will be they run. They have a hard enough time looking representative without their true group size being exposed. They can't handle that. - In San Diego the anti-everythings are almost always outnumbered two or three to one by the real Americans at local rallys, and that's with little or no organizing on our side of the fence. I watched some of the press camera guys "angling" their shots to give the impression the moon-bat brigade was bigger than it really was. At rallys I've been to, as time goes on, bystanders start joining the Pro-American side and when the crowd gets too big the ass-hats call it quits. - In Crawford there were generally 5 times the pro-Bush crowd over the Mother Sheehan gaggle, something you'll never see written up in the MSM Liberal lap dog press. Its one of the "progressives" dirty little secrets, along with all their blantant anti-American lies. - Bang **== - I’m guessing thats not the reason he stormed out.

The names of noble heroic people such as Gregory Boyington should not be sullied by association with whiny, self indulgent students. People like Boyington risked and sacrificed so their lessers might spit on their graves. Personally I think it’s a disgrace.
