    Neil Cavuto Repeatedly Confronts Student Pushing Free College Plan With Harsh Facts, Figures
    November 12, 2015



    Keely Mullen, an organizer for the Million Student March movement, joined Fox Business Network anchor Neil Cavuto on the air Thursday to discuss the movement’s demands for free public college, student debt cancelation and a $15-an-hour minimum wage for student workers. In the awkward 9-minute interview, Cavuto repeatedly cited facts and figures that seemed to fluster the student.

    When asked who would pick up the tab for the demands she listed, Mullen said, “The 1 percent of people who are hoarding the wealth and causing a catastrophe students are facing.”

    “If the 1 percent just had their taxes raised a few years ago back to almost 40 percent then to pay for the healthcare law, they had them raised another few percentage points, then they had their deductions limited to raise another couple points — depending on the state or locality — they’re pushing over about 50 percent in taxes,” Cavuto told Mullen. “How much more do you think they should pay?”

    Cavuto’s question, asked within the first two minutes of the interview, became the centerpiece of the entire discussion, as Mullen was unable to provide a clear answer.

    Mullen did say the rate should be raised to “enough until we have a system where not one in two families are threatened with poverty.” And when asked if she and her friends and family would pay more in taxes for her demands, she said “we already are.” However, according to Forbes, 45 percent of households pay no federal income taxes.

    Cavuto asked Mullen where the money would come from should “these 1 percent hoarders” leave the country, and Mullen insisted there would always be wealthy people in the U.S. However, later in the interview, Cavuto told his guest that countries around the world, using Greece as an example, have run out of money because the top earners are fleeing.

    When Cavuto asked her if she think the 1 percent could actually fund all her demands, Mullen said, “Absolutely.” However, Cavuot claimed taxing the 1 percent at 100 percent wouldn’t even fund Medicare for three years — let alone all of her demands for free services. “They’ve done studies on this, Keeley, I don’t want to get boring here, but even if you were to take the 1 percent and take all of their money — tax it 100 percent — do you know that couldn’t keep Medicare, just Medicare, in this country going for three years?” Cavuto asked. “Did you know that?”

    “Yeah, I don’t believe that,” Mullen said in response. “Yeah, I’m sorry, that just sounds completely ludicrous to me.”

    Toward the end of the interview, Cavuto told Mullen taxing the 1 percent on 100 percent of their income would only yield “about one trillion” toward any entitlement program.

    Black Lives Matter posts official list of demands…it’s INSANE
    Written by Earl Hall on November 27, 2015

    As you’re well aware, social engineering is happening on a grand scale now. We see it from our dear POTUS, we see it in the courts, and we see it very clearly on college campuses. Since the new age of Sharpton and Jackson, blacks are learning and playing this game very well.

    But when you have black students making demands on who and what color people are on a college campus we’ve gone to far. And even worse, now these brats want people punished for the simple act of not liking them.

    In fact, there’s now a one-stop shop for Black Lives Matter activists and other campus whiners called TheDemands.org which posts ALL official demands from these groups. Take a look at it. You will not believe the crap they’re demanding. http://www.thedemands.org/

    As Steven Hayward writing for Powerline Blog reports, Nice of the protestors to gather all of their absurdity in one handy place.
    http://www.powerlineblog.com/archive...l-of-shame.php

    Like this one from Tufts:

    1. We demand that Black-identifying students make up 13 percent of Tufts undergraduate population.

    Black-identifying students?” Good to know Rachel Dolezal has a safe space waiting for her somewhere.

    From Clemson University:

    Additionally, we want a public commitment from the Clemson University Administration to prosecute criminally predatory behaviors anddefamatory speech committed by members of the Clemson University community (including, but not limited to, those facilitated by usage of social media).
    So now Clemson is supposed to police Facebook and Twitter posts?

    I’m surprised this demand from Middle Tennessee State University hasn’t received more media attention:

    1. Change Forrest Hall, a group of students,faculty, and community members has one demand: the immediate removal of Nathan Bedford Forrest’s name from Middle Tennessee State University’s ROTC building.
    How long before Washington and Lee University has to drop Lee’s name? And then Washington’s? Lewis and Clark? Can’t do that: imperialist exploiters. William and Mary? Nope: named for patriarchal privilege. Heck, why not drop all names from every college and university, and just go with “University?”

    Students today have been raised to care about and act only on feelings. Not logic and reason. Talk to any college kid and you’ll see. They want fairness — even if it means being unfair to someone else. They don’t get the relationship here. They want free college even though it means it would cause damage to most of the country. They want free health care even though it’s not even rational or possible. Why do they want all of these things and more? Because they just feel it’s right. Yes it is…in cloud cuckoo land.

    Cartoon BRILLIANTLY Illustrates Birth of Democrat Party
    By Steve Straub



    Another Thanksgiving is coming upon us and yet another ridiculous suggestion from Democrats on bringing up politics while trying to enjoy time with your family has reared its ugly head.

    Over past years, Democrats have suggested talking about their failed Obamacare plans. Funny they aren’t suggesting that again this year. http://www.christianpost.com/news/ob...giving-109615/ This year Obama’s press secretary Josh Earnest is suggesting people talk about unconstitutional gun control over Thanksgiving dinner.

    From The Daily Signal:


    The Obama administration would like to you set aside some quality time with family and friends on Thanksgiving to promote a political opinion.

    Explaining how lawmakers should “pass a law that would prevent somebody who’s on the terror watch list from being able to buy a gun,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest decided to encourage folks to use a holiday about gratitude to preach some liberal tenets.
    “As people are sitting around the Thanksgiving table,” Earnest said, “talking about these issues, as they should, and as I’m sure they will, all across the country, I hope that’s a question that will be raised, and asked by members around the table—that if we’re going to have a serious discussion in this country about national security, let’s talk about some pretty obvious things that Congress can do.”
    Watch the video here: http://www.thefederalistpapers.org/p...democrat-party


    So let’s talk about this ‘terror watch list’ or ‘no fly list’ for a moment.

    There are 73 TSA employees who were discovered to be on the Terror Watch List. Most likely they aren’t supposed to be there but they are.

    Democrat Senator Teddy Kennedy was discovered to be on the ‘No Fly List’ several years ago.

    There have been 4 year old children discovered on the No Fly List.

    Clearly the federal government can’t really be trusted to keep accurate lists.

    On top of that, these people are on lists but haven’t actually committed any crimes.

    The Obama Administration wants to take people’s rights away without having actually indicted them for anything that would normally prohibit them from buying firearms.

    Not to mention it’s extremely easy to GET on the Terror Watch List.

    From the Intercept back in 2014: https://theintercept.com/2014/07/23/blacklisted/

    The Obama administration has quietly approved a substantial expansion of the terrorist watchlist system, authorizing a secret process that requires neither “concrete facts” nor “irrefutable evidence” to designate an American or foreigner as a terrorist, according to a key government document obtained by The Intercept.

    The “March 2013 Watchlisting Guidance,” a 166-page document issued last year by the National Counterterrorism Center, spells out the government’s secret rules for putting individuals on its main terrorist database, as well as the no fly list and the selectee list, which triggers enhanced screening at airports and border crossings. The new guidelines allow individuals to be designated as representatives of terror organizations without any evidence they are actually connected to such organizations, and it gives a single White House official the unilateral authority to place entire “categories” of people the government is tracking onto the no fly and selectee lists. It broadens the authority of government officials to “nominate” people to the watchlists based on what is vaguely described as “fragmentary information.” It also allows for dead people to be watchlisted.
    The only thing this would be used for is to make it so more law-abiding citizens cannot purchase firearms. Period.

    It’s another back end form of a gun ban because there is no one accountable for the list and they have made the requirements to be ON the list vague and arbitrary.

    If any of your relatives bring up this topic, tell them the above and ask them if they know whether or not they are on these lists because they actually could be.

    How many rights in the Bill of Rights are the Obama Administration and Democrats willing to infringe upon and violate for their hoplophobic push for useless gun control?

    Note to Obama: If terrorists really want to get firearms, they most likely won’t get them legally. People intent on breaking the law don’t usually let laws get in their way.

    ‘This Is Not a Day Care’: Read College President’s Scathing Open Letter to ‘Self-Absorbed and Narcissistic’ Students


    Nov. 28, 2015 5:50pm Dave Urbanski
    “This past week, I actually had a student come forward after a university chapel service and complain because he felt ‘victimized’ by a sermon on the topic of 1 Corinthians 13,” Piper explained in his letter posted to the school’s website. “It appears that this young scholar felt offended because a homily on love made him feel bad for not showing love! In his mind, the speaker was wrong for making him, and his peers, feel uncomfortable.”

    And with that, Piper apparently had enough.

    “I’m not making this up,” he continued. “Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic! Any time their feelings are hurt, they are the victims! Anyone who dares challenge them and, thus, makes them ‘feel bad’ about themselves, is a ‘hater,’ a ‘bigot,’ an ‘oppressor,’ and a ‘victimizer.’”

    Piper went on to explain to students that the familiar feeling of “discomfort” when confronted with wrongdoing is called a “conscience” — and that the “goal of many a good sermon is to get you to confess your sins—not coddle you in your selfishness” or help you achieve “self-actualization.”

    More from Piper:


    If you want the chaplain to tell you you’re a victim rather than tell you that you need virtue, this may not be the university you’re looking for. If you want to complain about a sermon that makes you feel less than loving for not showing love, this might be the wrong place.

    If you’re more interested in playing the “hater” card than you are in confessing your own hate; if you want to arrogantly lecture, rather than humbly learn; if you don’t want to feel guilt in your soul when you are guilty of sin; if you want to be enabled rather than confronted, there are many universities across the land (in Missouri and elsewhere) that will give you exactly what you want, but Oklahoma Wesleyan isn’t one of them.

    At OKWU, we teach you to be selfless rather than self-centered. We are more interested in you practicing personal forgiveness than political revenge. We want you to model interpersonal reconciliation rather than foment personal conflict. We believe the content of your character is more important than the color of your skin. We don’t believe that you have been victimized every time you feel guilty and we don’t issue “trigger warnings” before altar calls.

    “This is not a day care,” Piper concluded. “This is a university!”

    On his Facebook page, Glenn Beck praised Piper’s “very politically incorrect” letter. Here’s a brief clip of Piper speaking to Beck about a related topic on TheBlaze TV:
