Young Ben Shapiro discusses the sophomoric thinking of some professors at
UCLA.

Effects of campus liberalism far-reaching
LIBERALS: Professors give support to murders of law enforcement, terrorist
acts
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ben Shapiro

Universities have a serious problem. The type of liberalism so heavily
favored by the intellectual elite has crossed the line. Professors
throughout the educational world are supporting murderers and terrorists;
they are justifying despicable actions because of the political philosophies
of the actors. Murder, slaughter, and terrorism are OK, they say, as long as
they are directed at law-enforcement officials or civilian Westerners. It's
fine as long as the murderer is anti-capitalist, anti-establishment or
anti-conservative.

This frightening ideology has not only blurred the line between liberalism
and radicalism ­ it has destroyed it. This ideology cannot truly be called
liberalism ­ it can only be called evil. And this evil must be eradicated
before it spreads and engulfs the aspiring youth of our nation in its dark
and shadowy tentacles.
