Does the SEO company you're considering have references and testimonials from their clients? Can you contact the people providing testimonials to ask about their experiences using the seo Company? Considering each of these aspects before selecting an SEO company will help you choose a reputable company that will give you the results you need. |

My boy Stephen --
I think you misunderstood my post -- I do NOT think having a single conservative professor at a university can turn around its entire political culture. But, you have to start somewhere. And you seem to make quite a strong case for my point, actually: you mention what one conservative professor did for Buckley...who then went on to do other, reasonably important things. Another example is Jeffrey Hart at Dartmouth, whose mentoring of students and sponsorship of Dartmouth Review has given us Dinesh D'Souza, Peter Robinson, and others. My point was not that having a single conservative faculty member can turn a school around (though in time, and in conjunction with other conservative faculty members, perhaps this would be possible), but that even one outpost of sanity can do wonders for students. And I think Kendall and Hart are two powerful examples of this. I think they have done more for the conservative movement, if indirectly, than the speeches of Ann Coulter or others. Its not a matter, as you say, of saving all the students -- its a matter of acknowledging the profound impact one conservative professor can have in the long run.
In short, I think you harped on my point that one conservative professor can make a difference, when that was really a minor point in my post. I KNOW, and I think its obvious, that one conservative in a department would be limited. Common sense tells us he or she would be limited. My point, broadly, was that we should work to get more conservative faculty members if we really want to change our campuses. You didn't really address this, or my critique of the strategies of current groups "fighting the battles" on college campuses.
And just because I went to Grove City College doesn't mean I'm unqualified to speak about the modern campus. You neglected to mention I'm currently on a liberal campus, where as a graduate student, the concentration/effects of liberalism are even greater. For instance, among the ENTIRE incoming class of Ph.D. students, I am one of (I think) maybe two conservatives. Conservatives just don't go to graduate school and get Ph.D.'s as much as liberals do. And that's one reason why the academy is in the shape it is (though I admit its a self-perpetuating cycle that may cause this...i.e., conservatives know academia is liberal, and thus avoid it...).
How much does Ann Coulter get a speech? $20,000 or something like that? (She may cut certain groups some slack). That's enough for a graduate student to live off of for an entire year. Maybe we should put that money towards getting conservatives through grad school and not getting the CR's name in a student newspaper.
And I'm not aware of any YAF funds for people like me -- that is, fellowship type things for graduate students.
In your next post, address my substantive point about the strategies of some of these groups. I might be wrong. But it seems that by doing nothing more than causing a commotion on campus, we only fool around with the symptoms of campus liberalism without treating the disease. And remember, my post was in a very specific context -- the book that said through activism we can take back our campuses...which is a joke.
