Chris Peterman, a 23-year-old senior at Bob Jones University in South Carolina, was reportedly kicked out of school for watching an episode of "Glee." And he wasn't watching it in class, in his dorm, or anywhere on campus. He was watching it on his laptop at Starbucks. According to Jezebel, he had accumulated a handful of write-ups for 1) trying to start a group "aimed at ending sexual abuse," 2) showing up late to his dorm and 3) not shaving. The school says "Glee" was not the reason they expelled him, but Peterson says it was the last straw.
Bob Jones students are not permitted to watch television on campus, and while off campus there are still guidelines they must abide by. The handbook reads, "Students are to avoid any types of entertainment that could be considered immodest or that contain profanity, scatological realism, sexual perversion, erotic realism, lurid violence, occultism and false philosophical or religious assumptions." Do you think it was fair for the school to kick Peterson out?

Progressive politics empathize the democratization of political power, and the fascist seek to consolidate it. The progressive wants an economy that benefits the public interest, while the fascist believes that the public should be exploited for personal gain.
Read a book, you might learn something.
Perhaps you might try taking your own advice
Also I wouldn't go around espousing the "Christian" virtues of capitalism especially with Ayn Rand quotes. Just recently Paul Ryan got called out on it by a Jesuit priest, http://www.liberalfix.com/201... . In fact, there are many arguments made that justify social ownership within Christianity itself even prefer it over Randian capitalism.
wow, you sure assume much about me. Too bad you are wrong.
The very fact that you are actually trying to redefine the English language is proof enough for me to already perceive you as a moron something that I did not need to assume as it was clearly obvious. You are like those people who call people "Fascist Communists" oblivious to the fact that the words reference completely opposing ideologies, instead you manufacture what YOU think the word means and use it as that. Isn't that the original root here? That you seem to equate anyone YOU don't agree with by slapping on a label like "fascist." Meanwhile, you are oblivious to the very meaning of the word, while ironically demonstrating the very attitudes you accuse others of performing.
To summarize. (Speaking slowly and loudly) Learn the meaning of words before you use them, otherwise people will think you are retarded.
And FYI, if those are the rules, they were made to be broken.
