If you don’t think that the Spectator and other such mediums have done anything to curb leftism at Brown, then you are ignorant about where brown was 5 and 10 years ago. The very fact that something conservative can be said without inciting riots is a vast improvement over the campus culture as it was just a few years ago.
Considering this article was released the day before you made your post, I assume it is what you were talking about (http://thebrownspectator.com/2008/05/08/carcieri-cracks-down-rhode-island-gets-serious-about-illegal-immigration/). Perhaps your reading comprehension is not up to snuff, because as I read the article it is quite obvious that the writer is serious about what she writes. Also, nowhere does it seem an appropriate paraphrase of the article to say that illegal immigrants are terrorists. Rather, she says that illegal immigrants are breaking the law, a fact that ought to be self-evident by the word illegal.
Perhaps you’re correct; we have not necessarily crushed campus liberals in the sense that we have done something to reduce their numbers and increase ours. But your appeals to logical fallacy (such as the straw man you used to paraphrase Ms. Kelleher’s article), is a strategy I find to be typical of Brown liberals. While we have not utterly destroyed the campus left, you are evidence that we have certainly out-thought at least one of them.
