. . . a gathering of assorted pre-law/polisci refugees (giveaway: khakis and buttoned shirt) mixed with politically active humanities lite majors (floor-length skirts for the women, goatees for the men). In my world of stereotypes, I wouldn't have looked at these people and said, "Go forth to represent America." Perhaps "Go forth and bring me a latte."Meanwhile, a Utah town votes to become a "U.N.-free zone."
. . . during the Q&A on the statement of motivation, one of the women present raised her hand to ask: "What if your motivation is to join the Foreign Service so you can help State resist the Bush Administration?" To his credit, the FS officer leading the session told her to leave that one at the door. But she persisted: "But, you know, do you think they'll be able to read between the lines and see what I'm really saying? Because I want them to know." The officer narrowed his eyes and told her a second time to abandon such foolishness. The woman seemed unconvinced . . .
And Michael Totten rounds up a few more "progressives" appalled at what their movement has become.
