A.G.istorians always wrap history into neat little ages or periods. Well, when it comes to Binghamton Review, this is the dawning of a new era. You may have noticed that

the Review has gotten somewhat soft over the past couple of years. You may have noticed the absence of a strong, principled, conservative voice on campus. You may have noticed a certain lack of debate and controversy on campus. That’s what happens when conservatives lay down their arms and compromise their principles. That time is over. The Review is now back and in full throttle, so proceed with caution. In 1987, two Russian expatriates, Alexander Lanzman and Yan Rusanovsky, launched the cam-pus conservative movement when they founded Binghamton Review. The two young men had left the Soviet Union in search of a freer life only to come to the United States, the world’s last free democracy, to find that with the Marxist professors, politically cor-rect multiculturalists, and overbearing administrators; American universities (Binghamton included) are any-thing but free. The Review was their means of fighting the left-wing university establishment. Conservatism, simply put, is the political philoso-phy that founded this great nation; the belief that when government expands, liberty is lost. It is more than just an economic and social theory; it is a philosophy of life itself. Government programs are at odds with conser-vatism, not because they are inefficient and ineffective, though they are, but because they turn free people into wards of the state. Conservatives’ support for a low income tax is derived not from the economic benefits of such a tax policy, but from the belief that govern-ment should not be in the business of stealing property from the people. We support the peoples’ right to bear arms not just because there are rapists and murderers out there looking for victims, but because the people should not be dependent solely on their government for protection. We oppose the university’s ‘failure to cooperate’ policy not because we want to make it harder for the university to prosecute students, but because we believe in the fundamental right to privacy and due process in one’s personal sphere. We oppose multiculturalism not because we are against diversity, but because its goal is to use government to remake society using some kind of cultural Marxist model. Now, conservatism isn’t exactly the most “politi-cally correct” ideology on college campuses. Simply stated, we don’t care. We live in a world where

conservatives often are forced to play the role of an apologist. Don’t expect any apologies from us anytime soon. We’re going to say what we believe, and I’d be willing to bet that if you give us a fair chance, most of the time you’ll agree with our arguments. Hopefully, however, you’ll at least be tolerant of our diverse view-points. In 1989, the Student Association took action and attempted to silence the Review in response to multi-cultural outcry towards a cartoon we printed that poked fun at a proposed “Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Studies” program. BR’s editorial board was given two options: (1) They could attend “sensitivity training,” where they would be reeducated (you know, in a style similar to the Soviet reeducation camps the founding editors were fleeing) and taught how to become good multiculturalists; or (2) they could ignore the Student Association and face the consequences. BR chose the latter and suffered a funding ban that lasted until 2004. To the dismay of the campus left, the Review survived without its due portion of the Student Activity fee, finding funding elsewhere. In 1999, ten years after the “gay cartoon” incident, Linda Morales, the director of BU’s Multicultural Resource Center, helped distribute a pamphlet titled the “University Conversion Project.” The pamphlet contained such essays as “Tips on Challenging Outside Funding,” “An Introduction to Propaganda Analysis,” and “Tips on Responding to the Right Wing.” Really, this actually happened. That same year, then SA President Ben Greenzweig organized a committee to investigate the Review’s funding with the goal of find-ing some impropriety that would allow him to shut the paper down. He was about as successful as ethnic study majors are after graduating. The point is, no matter how hard the multis try to shut us down, Binghamton Review is never going away. We aren’t scared of the PC police. We have ideas that are strong enough to withstand whatever it is the left decides to throw at us (usually tomatoes). So cherish what you have in your hands right now: the one thing that truly stands out on this cam-pus, Binghamton’s only true non-conformer, the last beacon of truth and reason in a place where common sense often takes a backseat to relativism and warped ideology.

Good Evening, My name is Jeffrey Weyl and I am a past Treasurer of BR. I worked with Ephie, Adam Brom-berg, Mike Malloy, and Paul Schni-er. I wanted to compliment you on the most recent issue that I have viewed (May 2008). Truly excel-lent! Please let me know if I may be of assistance to the BR. Regards, Jeffrey Weyl

P.S. I find it hard to believe that Lois DeFleur is still at BU, then again, anything’s possible in this day and age.

The level of complete igno-rance displayed by The Binghamton Review makes liberals look even better. Thanks for your help. -Anonymous

To whom it may concern, I’ve been picking up the Binghamton Review every month since my freshman year, and it’s al-ways been pretty good. Recently, though, for your May 2008 issue, it seems that what-ever printing company you use switched from the nice, soft, com-fortable newsprint to some harder, thicker, scratchier paper. I mean, I guess it’s still better than that Fiesta stuff, but it’s definitely a step down from what it used to be. Not only is this paper a good deal less soft than the old paper, it’s also much less ab-sorbent: I’m genuinely worried that some toilets on campus might clog now. Do you think you could ask

your printer to go back to the old paper? Thanks, A long-time fan

Dear Filthy Racist Scum, Apparently your parents ne-glected you as children and forgot to tell you that there is nothing fun-ny about Racism. Just because you are racists and think it is funny does not mean that it is. Racism is unac-ceptable, and if you seriously think that you you know everything, then you are a bunch of pompous wind-bags. The fact that you are racists, prominently displayed in the Fas-cist crap you turn out, proves that you are ignorant and know nothing. Your magazine is nothing but trash, because it certainly is nowhere near good enough to be called journal-ism let alone news. -Anonymous

Dear Editors, This previous year, I took up an interest in the concept of civil rights and liberties. It seemed as though one could only find these in references in complicated and long-winded legal arguments. However, your May 2008 issue of Review made the concept more real and clarified it how these do matter to each individual. The article of the civil rights debacle by Randal Meyer was an incred-ibly passionate and articulate piece, which in context with “Welcome to Pre-School” by Adam Shamah, made me think about issues of jus-tice and rights in a way that is rela-tive to my own person. Thank you.

However, the Nazi on the cover is mildly offensive to Jews such as myself. Nonetheless, I look for-ward to your next issue.

Sincerely, J.I.K.

Editors, I am a member of EMO. I just wanted to tell you not to make fun of the ZINE anymore because people work hardcore to put out the articles. It’s not cool to make fun of their grammar. Stop being such closed minded douche bags. Start caring about people and stop being mean. -The Spy

Editors, I just wanted to compliment you guys on cleaning up the Re-view. At the beginning of last year, I could tell that the Review was on its way down. After the change of leadership, I could instantly tell that the Review was headed on an up-ward path. I like that there are no video game reviews or dumb arti-cles about body hair. You guys are the conservative paper and I’m glad you guys are now focusing on con-servative issues again. Keep up the good work. -Robert Smith

To the editors, I am an incoming freshmen to SUNY Binghamton. I was won-dering how I could get involved with your paper? I saw your archives on

From the Editors:

BR welcomes feedback and response from our readers. But keep in mind, espe-cially if you disagree with us, we would like to hear your side of the argument. Don’t just call us “bigoted,” and definitely don’t spray paint “racist crackers” on our door (cough, cough EMO). We’re up for a debate, but please, let it actu-ally be a debate. No throwing fits, crying, or name calling al-lowed. Thank you. -AS & REM

Pipe Dream Other universities have newspapers named The Colle-gian, or The Chronicle, we have Pipe Dream. Once called Colonial News, BU’s twice-weekly tabloid changed its name to Pipe Dream in 1970 in protest of t h e Vietnam war, and because us-ing the w o r d “ c o -lonial” promotes “co lon ia l -ism,” which of course, is an evil right-wing western practice. So now we have Pipe Dream. Real p r o -fessional name, don’t you think? All that can be said about Pipe Dream is that it is the defini-tion of mediocre. Great photogra-phy, layout, and copy editing, but not much else. Occasionally you’ll find an interesting article or they’ll break a big news story, however; PD’s news section often has as many wire stories as original arti-cles written by students. And, out-

side of the occasional guest com-mentary, don’t expect its editorial page to ever take a stand on a con-troversial issue. Nuance and writ-ing about things everyone agrees about, this basically sums up PD’s Opinion page.

Free Press

Published by the Bingham-ton Media Group, Free Press was founded two years ago by an in-

credibly successful Student As-sembly representative, Alex Rosenthal. While they publish only two issues per month, the overall content of each issue is usually on par with, and at times surpasses, that of Pipe

Dream. In the past the paper has offered excellent coverage of the Student Association, but with the departure of Rosenthal and last year’s Managing Editor/Student Assembly Chair, Eric Katz, we’ll have to wait and see what this year’s reporting will be like.

Prospect

Whenever we mention Prospect in an issue of the Review, we get dozens of emails posing

the question, “what the hell is this ‘Prospect’ you keep referring to?” Prospect is the publication of the College Democrats, sort of. The executive boards of the two groups are basically the same. Most of the articles appear to be printed uned-ited, as they have dozens of gram-matical errors and typos. Besides the two or three disingenuous (and sometimes totally made up) politi-cal articles they print each month, you’ll also find dating advice from fat chicks and two week old sports news. Also, the letters ‘Ask An-nie’ prints are written by Annie herself.

EMO Zine

They don’t publish often, but when the Experimental Media Organization does decide to put something out, boy, are you in for a treat. Printed on computer paper, issues of the EMO Zine contain enough Marxist and pro-Palestin-ian material to keep young hip-pies entertained for months. While they haven’t published yet, expect more of what we’ve seen in the past: op-eds that are so ridiculous you just have to laugh at them. Is-raeli soldiers are stomping on the

heads of Palestinian babies, Wal Mart is responsible for world hun-ger, Coca-Cola is a bigger problem than Islamic terrorism, Stalin was just misunderstood. You know, the kind of stuff you hear from your sociology professor.

Inside BU

The Pravda of Binghamton. Inside BU is produced and distrib-uted by the University administra-tion and should otherwise be called “Why Binghamton University is the best school ever.” Never will it publish anything negative about the university, so it is up to papers like ours, Binghamton Review, to get you the real news and an accu-rate picture of our university.

Asian Outlook

And now to an even more useless paper. While it’s no lon-ger the left-wing rag it used to be, Asian Outlook publishes spo-radically throughout the year with the mission of fabricating oppres-sion against Asians and publishing dumb poems. On occasion they’ll publish an interesting article but it’s not worth bending over eight times per year to find it.

Q-Magazine

Yes, the “Q” stands for queer. In case you were wonder-ing, this is the publication put out by the campus sodomites. If you want to read about how horribly oppressed homosexuals in Rwanda are, or how to how to look “totally fabulous” any day of the week, this

is the publication for you.

The Element Magazine

The Element is one of the better publications on campus. They cover a wide variety of topics such as music reviews, travel, and satire. They have a great layout and amazing graphics but at times some of their articles can be quite liberal, especially when it comes to the environment.

OCCT, known to most stu-dents as “the blue buses,” has been operating as a tax-exempt non-prof-it organization since its incorpora-tion in 1984. There’s one problem. In 1984, the paper work was never filed to achieve tax-exempt status. Thus, for the past 24 years, OCCT has been non-IRS compliant. Be-cause of this, SUNY has refused to pay its share of the organization’s budget, and OCCT is $40,000 in the red. The non-compliant status of OCCT was discovered by SUNY three years ago. At the time, a mem-orandum with SUNY was signed by then Student Association President Michael Schiff-man. The memo served as an understanding that SUNY would continue depositing its share of OCCT’s over $500,000 budget. The agreement expired in September 2007, and was never re-negotiated by last year’s SA President, David Bass. Official docu-ments were filed with the IRS last week. OCCT Service Man-ager Elaine Liu says they are wait-ing for a decision from the IRS and hopes to get the tax-exemption and SUNY funding soon.Alice Liou, the Vice President for Finance of the SA, says she doubts

the situation will be entirely resolved by the end of the month, and that the SA will keep the buses running as long as possible. She added that OCCT might also owe money to the IRS for the 24 years they’ve been

operating without IRS compliance.

At this point, $15,000 is spent each week to keep OCCT run-

n i n g .

According to SA President Matt Landau, who also serves as presi-dent of the OCCT board of direc-tors, the buses can continue running without the university’s funds until September 30th. There is a tenta-tive plan that will allow the univer-


by adam shamah ‘11

sity to pay up to $30,000 in future maintenance and repair costs, which would keep the buses going for an additional month. Landau also discussed a possible contingency plan in which several bus routes would be sus-pended. Nothing is final, but all weekend routes would be cut, save the Triple Cities and Westside spe-cial routes, both of which run after 2am on Friday and Saturday nights. On weekdays, the Townhall Square Mall, Oakdale Mall, Binghamton, UDC Shuttle, Campus shuttle, and

residential shuttle routes would be cut. The routes that would continue operating are: Tri-ple Cities, the Westside Spe-cial, JC Westside, and LeRoy Southside. This plan would allow OCCT to keep running until the end of the fall semes-ter. Service Manager Liu also stressed that her drivers have not been given raises this year, an issue she vehemently dis-agrees with Alice Liou and Matt Landau on. She claims that she has discretion over such matters, but according to

OCCT by-laws, the OCCT presi-dent and board of directors handle such matters. Binghamton Review will keep our readers updated on this is-sue. Check www.binghamtonreview.com for any new news.

News Briefslandau rejects nyPiRG contract BR applauds Student As-sociation Matt Landau for refusing to sign off on the proposed contract between the New York Public Inter-est Group (NYPIRG) and the SA. As a result, NYPIRG can no lon-ger transfer the money they receive from the SA into their own, off cam-pus account with no oversight. This is the first time an SA president has chosen to do this since NYPIRG be-gan operating on our campus. Now, with their $14,200 budget and their SA bank account, NYPIRG will fi-nally operate as a normal student group. In other words, we win! GOP ad accuses Obama of being to the right of mcCain on immigration The Republican National Committee is running a radio ad re-minding Hispanics that while Barack Obama remained silent, John Mc-Cain “stood up” and “spoke out” for them during last year’s immigration debates. All Hispanics, apparently, are illegal immigrants according to the open borders crowd. That’s right, the party that calls itself America’s conservative party has created an ad that accuses Barack Obama of be-ing to the right of John McCain on illegal immigration. Some of us at the Review are going to have a hard enough time pulling the lever for McCain in November, why does the RNC insist on making it even more difficult? Why doesn’t the GOP un-derstand that the public overwhelm-ingly supports strict enforcement of

our immigration laws and opposes amnesty? Why do Republican strat-egists continue to treat Hispanics as if they are a bunch of blind sheep that all hopelessly support open bor-der policy? Don’t they realize that most pro-amnesty zealots are going to vote for Barack Obama anyway and all this strategy does is push conservatives away from John Mc-Cain? This country needs a presi-dent who will support the rule of law and, unfortunately, we won’t have one no matter who wins this November.

study finds majority of Americans consid-er themselves con-servative On August 20th, the Battle-ground Poll, a bipartisan study done jointly by a Democratic polling or-ganization, Lake Research Partners, and a Republican polling organiza-tion, the Terrance Organization, re-leased its latest results. 21 pages of polling data on every important po-litical topic of the day. Included in the study was the question, “When thinking about politics and govern-ment, do you consider yourself to be… Very Conservative Somewhat Conservative Moderate Somewhat Liberal Very Liberal Unsure/Refused.” An overwhelming 60% of the American people answered that they are conservative, with 20% considering themselves very conser-vative and 40% calling themselves somewhat conservative. 27% con-

sider themselves somewhat liberal, while only 9% call themselves very liberal. Only 2% consider them-selves moderate and 3% did not an-swer. The troubling part is that this is probably the first you’ve heard of this. This is a big story; an over-whelming majority of the American people support one political ideol-ogy. Why hasn’t this been all over the news? Oh, that’s right, because the ideology they support isn’t liber-alism. Gun club and western culture club to be chartered Several prominent campus conservatives, including Review executive board members Adam Shamah, Robert Menje, Rod Alz-mann, and Mike Lombardi, are in the process of founding two student organizations: (1) Friends of the Second Amendment, and (2) Bing-hamton Students for the Preserva-tion of Western Culture. The first will focus on educating students on gun/2nd amendment issues as well as organizing shooting trips for Binghamton students. The latter will seek to promote the survival of Western heritage and traditional val-ues at Binghamton University and the surrounding community, and hopes to earn a seat on the Intercul-tural Awareness Committee (ICA). Both are expected to be chartered at the end of the month, when Rules Committee meets for the first time this semester. landau to run for mayor of Bingham-ton That’s the rumor.

he Russian Federation, Russia, the former Soviet Union; all of these are ti-tles of the one country that

we as Americans should be most worried about over the next decade. No, I am not an old Cold-War survi-vor who’s crying wolf. Being born in 1989, the same year the Berlin Wall fell, and two years before the end of Soviet-style communism, I never knew what the “Cold War” was like. But I for one can tell that even amidst “global warming,” certain things are cooling off once again. Many Americans believe that the fossil-fuel-producing capi-tal of the world is the Middle East. Wrong. It is Russia. Rus-sia contains the world’s largest natural gas reserves, second largest coal reserves, and the eighth largest oil reserves. The Bear (the nickname Russia is occasionally re-ferred to as) exports more natural gas than any country in the world, and is second in oil exports. Russia also has the larg-est amount of timber in the world and massive deposits of iron, nickel, aluminum, copper, silver, and gold. OK, enough of the geogra-phy lesson. You may be thinking, “I don’t care about what resources Rus-sia has.” Whether you do or don’t, continue reading; this is where it

becomes relevant. Unlike North Korea, Iran, and other international anti-American states, Russia has worldwide legitimacy, as evidenced by their permanent membership on the United Nations Security Coun-cil. Not only that, the Russians cur-rently produce approximately 1/3rd of the world’s firearms, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Russian de-fense expen-ditures have quadrupled

over the past six years, while Rus-sia continues to house the world’s largest stockpile of nuclear weap-ons, and the Bear shares a distinc-tion with the Bald Eagle as the only nations in the world with a fleet of modern strategic bombers, the Federation of American Scientists

claims. There’s some of the back-ground needed to understand why Russia’s current foreign policy could be a real threat to America in the very near future. Now, what have the Russians done that’s so bad? Well it all started in 2000, the year Vladimir Putin became Presi-dent of the Russian Federation. He claims that “no one feels safe … because no one can feel that inter-national law … will protect them” from the United States’ foreign rela-tions aggression. This reason, how-ever, has no bearing on the Russian

expedition that planted their national flag on the ocean floor at the North Pole, effec-

tively claiming the Arctic, and

its vast quan-tities of oil it supposedly c o n t a i n s , as their ter-ritory. Nor does US ac-

tion give any validity to Russia’s recent bullying of former Soviet Era satellite states, such as Estonia, Georgia, and the Ukraine. Just last year in Estonia, the Russians waged a so-called “cy-ber-war,” effectively swamping a majority of Estonia’s online web-

sites, including banks, parliament, and other ministries. The level of complexity of the attack meant that a highly organized militant or gov-ernmental organization could only have done it. NATO and the Esto-nian government were unable to make an official connection with the Kremlin, though it coincidently coincided with a blockade of the Estonian Embassy in Moscow, and

Estonia’s relocation of Soviet-era war memorials. Less subtly, Putin visited the Ukraine twice before their presi-dential election in 2004, to show his support for the pro-Kremlin candi-date, Viktor Yanukovych. He even congratulated Mr. Yanukovych on victory before the official election returns were in. Obviously some-thing is wrong here if the Russian president can make such statements regarding democratic elections in a sovereign state. The problem is, Mr. Putin and the rest of the Russian Old Guard seem to think it’s still the 1970s and 80s, when Russia did control Ukraine, the Baltic states, etc. These men revealed their hand with last month’s invasion of sover-eign Georgia. Georgia, a former Soviet satellite, which is now an indepen-dent democratic republic, has two

regions with active separatist move-ments: Abkhazia and South Os-setia. In May, after Russian planes shot down Georgian reconnais-sance drones, Abkhazia attempted to be placed under Russian military control in an attempt to break away from Georgia. Then on August 8th, after Georgian troops launched an offensive to reclaim these break-away provinces, Russian troops en-tered South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Russia entered Georgian sovereign cities as well and violated a cease-fire agreement signed four days af-ter the initial invasion. The conflict is still very heated and remains un-resolved, with the Georgian govern-ment asking for Russia to remove its military presence from their country, and the Russians staying put. This entire time, the United States has been issuing angry state-ments and heated rhetoric decrying the Russian actions. So what? This is just like a flashback to the decade long invasion of Afghanistan by the Russians at the end of the 70s, where the US took no action but to arm the Afghans with American weapons, providing little real aid. Russia is not joking around any-more. Putin and the rest of his old Soviet-era cronies are flexing their military muscle, while America is doing nothing more than shaking a finger at the Bear. Watch Russia closely over the next few years, as its actions will dictate whether we are moving forward in international diplomacy, or returning to a time when we have bomb shelters in our backyard and are waiting for world to end at any minute.

‘sof Binghamton university

A is for Assholes. You’ll encoun-ter a lot of them during your tenure here. Eg: parking services, universi-ty administrators, reslife, Sodexho, sketchy guys at the Rat, Bingham-ton townies

B if for Blue Buses. See page 8.

C if for Coffee. You’ll be drinking a lot of it. Too bad you can’t get a

D is for Dining Halls. Stick to the simple food that is easily iden-tifiable, because that “chicken patty sandwich” probably isn’t chicken. The service sucks and be prepared to have your wallets (or your par-ents’ wallets) raped by Sodexho’s incredibly extortive prices. That’s what you get when you give one company a monopoly on campus.

E is for EMO/SAC. Hippies. Smelly, smelly hippies. Chances are, they’ll be arrested at some

point this semester for attacking UPD officers.

F is for Freedom of Speech. What you don’t always have in a college

classroom. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind, but be careful, leftist professors aren’t always tolerant of dissenting views.

G is for Grades. Don’t screw

these up (cough, cough Matt Lan-dau). Everything else is important too, but BU’s academic programs are why you didn’t go to Albany.

H is for Help. You’re going to need it when you wake up at a frat house with your pants around your ankles. Ladies, take note.

I is for Inconvenience. See: cam-pus parking situation, Old Union renovation, east campus construc-tion, consent laws (just kidding).

J is for Judicial Affairs. Where you’ll go when you’re caught smok-ing pot in your dorm room. Be smart, but if you do get into trouble contact Peter Spaet, the Vice President for Academic Affairs of the Student As-sociation, and he will help fight on your behalf.

of this delightful beverage. It’s gross, but it’ll get the job done.

L is for Library fountain. It’s very nice the two or three days each semester when they actually turn it on, but the majority of the time it serves at the hippies’ favorite hang-out and protest spot on campus.

M is for Multiculturalism. Prepare to have the long rainbow-colored dick of multiculturalism shoved down your throat for the next 4 years. You can’t escape it, but if you need a refuge, come over to the Binghamton Review office.

N is for Nazi. What the liberals will call you if you join Binghamton Review.

O is for Overpriced textbooks. Don’t buy them at the campus book-store. Go online, you’ll find them for half the price.

P is for PODS. The computers in the library. You’ll likely spend more time looking for an open one than you’ll spend actually using it. And, it will probably be a Mac so you’ll have no idea how to use it anyway.

Q is for Queen Lois. Or so she thinks she is. Lois DeFleur is the president of this univer-sity. Don’t expect to see her…ever.

R is for Review. As in Bingham-ton Review, the only publication on campus worth bending over for once per month. With its ridiculously

good looking and bril-liant staff, the Review has been the only bea-con of truth and reason on campus since 1987.

S is for State street. Binghamton’s downtown—the place you go to forget about that “F” you received on your p h y s i c s e x a m . Have fun, but be safe. Don’t go home with any 50-year-old townie men you meet at Dillingers.

T is for Transvestite bathrooms. They’re coming to Binghamton next year, so be prepared.

U is for UPD. They take a lot of crap from students, but

they’re the ones that keep

us safe. If you ever need anything, they’re located in the basement of the Couper Administration building and are always very helpful.

V is for Variety. What BU’s stu-dent body lacks. Everyone is from

Z is for Zoning laws. The City of Binghamton uses them to keep students out of the west side, one of the few nice parts of the Binghamton area. Last year, two professors snitched on some students that somehow managed to find a house there.

BARACk OBAmA And his TeRRORisT FRiends by Robert E. Menje ‘09

arack Obama frequently criticizes John McCain for his support of a war that is killing the enemies of

America overseas. What Barack Obama doesn’t want you to know is that some of his friends are known terrorists. Who are these terrorists you may ask? A man named William Ayers is a close friend of Obama. While he might not be an Islamic terror-ist such as Osama Bin Laden, he is a left-wing, homegrown, American terrorist. The kind that promotes global communism. In the late 1960s, he co-founded a radi-cal leftist organization known as Weather Underground. In 1970, Weather Un-derground issued a “Declaration of a State of War” against the United States govern-ment. Three of its members were killed in a Greenwich Vil-lage townhouse when a bomb they were making exploded. The intend-ed target of that bomb was an Army NCO club dance. On March 1st, 1971, William Ayers and his Weather Underground bombed the United States Capitol building. They claimed it was “in protest of the US invasion of Laos.” On May 19th, 1972, this same group bombed

the Pentagon “in retaliation for the US bombing raid in Hanoi.” Wil-liam Ayers and his group would also go on to bomb the Harry S Truman Building, which housed the United States Department of State, and

several police sta-tions across

the coun-try. Wil-liam Ay-ers was q u o t e d in an in-

t e r v i e w as saying, “I don’t

regret

setting bombs,” and “I feel [Weath-er Underground] didn’t do enough.” The federal government would later go on to file charges against William Ayers, which were later dropped due to botched FBI surveillance. In 2001, Ayers published a book

entitled Fugitive Days: A Memoir. Between the covers, Ayers admits to his crimes, and describes his life on the run as a fugitive. With all this evidence, why would Barack Obama become, or even remain friends with Mr. Ay-ers? Why would Barack Obama go on to claim that the terrorist William Ayers is “respectable” and “mainstream”? You may be won-dering how close of a friendship Obama has with this terrorist. Their relationship is so tight that Obama launched his entire political career from Mr. Ayers’ Chicago home in 1996 when Obama was running for the State Senate of Illinois. Barack Obama also served on a left-wing

board in Chicago with Ayers. Besides Obama’s connection to Ayers, he has also has been endorsed by top Hamas adviser Ahmed Yousef. This is not his only connection to Palestinian terrorists. He is a close friend of former Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) member Rashid Khalidi. In 2000, Khalidi hosted a fundraiser for Obama. In 2003, Obama returned the

favor by throwing a huge dinner bash in honor of Khalidi. Khalidi also served on the same board that William Ayers sat on with Obama. Obama and Ayers approved over $70,000 for Khalidi’s Arab Ameri-can Action Network, a Chicago based group which has been tied to

Palestinian terrorism. As you walk into that voting booth on November 4th, you have to ask yourself, “Should I vote for a man who is friends with a terror-ist who bombed the US Capitol and Pentagon, and is proud of it, and other individuals who support Mid-dle Eastern terrorism?” Robert Edward Menje is a senior. The picture of him on the back cover IS one of his finer moments here at BU.

lAsu: sA sponsored Terrorism? by Eugenio Campos ‘10

ast semester, I published an article in Binghamton Re-view about our Latin Ameri-can Student Union (LASU).

In it, I discussed LASU’s false por-trayal of Latin culture. Since then, my character has been attacked by members of the group as they have tried to discredit my argument. In their responses, LASU members have neglected to mention the fact that for two years I was LASU’s po-

litical correspondent. I’ve person-ally experienced LASU’s hypoc-risy and spectacular ability to chase away Latin exchange students. As an introduction to this journey toward cultural enlighten-ment, I would like to thank the true Latino community of Binghamton University for their support for my defense of Latin culture against the LASU ghetto-elitists whose sole purpose is to bastardize our proud heritage. LASU seems to be con-stantly pushing the boundaries of its extreme distaste for democracy and free speech. I was targeted by a LASU e-board member and public-ly harassed in a threatening posture for exercising free speech and voic-ing my opinion on a student group whose only perceivable goal is to promote a sort of reverse-elitism – that is, a doctrine raising the un-wed pregnant Latina with greased hair and massive name-bearing gold hoops to a status far above that of the educated well-kept Latina. Apparently these days, broken, un-intelligible Spanish is on a higher academic level than its proper form, and LASU is perfectly content to publicly attack those true Spanish-speaking individuals in their own pigeon-gibberish that clearly has no word for “free speech” or “democ-racy.” It is no wonder why LASU

advertised their workshop follow-ing Fidel Castro’s stepping-down as “49 years of glory,” and never misses an opportunity to praise Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela as a so-cialist utopia. Perhaps LASU takes

solace in the fact that Chavez both supports and arms FARC terrorists to kill school children in Colombia. As long as the school children are “right-wingers,” I don’t think that LASU minds. So, LASU, if your first move was to send your henchmen to harass me in public, what comes next? Will I be put into a political concentration camp like so many freedom-loving Cubans? Will you ever cease to be nauseated by the idea of a freethinking individual? The truth is, I don’t expect LASU’s anti-dissent tactics to deescalate, for

that type of politics is such an inte-gral facet of their artificial culture! Painted on the wall of the LASU lounge in the Union is a por-trait of Che Guevara, who was an international terrorist responsible for the deaths of thousands. During his campaign to instill communism on Latin America, he trained and worked with Castro’s firing squads and worked closely with Castro during, and after, the revolution. A KGB official once called him “the architect of the Soviet-Cuban rela-tionship.” He went on to assist in the killing of thousands elsewhere in Latin America and the world. Why would LASU celebrate

a man like Che Guevara? Guevara was a communist who stood for everything that America does not. Does their anti-Americanism run so deep that they’re willing to support a terrorist? LASU supported a “free-dom march” a couple of years ago. Included in its manifesto was the statement, “We stand in the remem-brance of Filiberto Ojeda.” Filiberto Ojeda was a convicted terrorist. Not only was he a terrorist, but he was fighting for Puerto Rican indepen-dence, something that is supported by only 2.7% to 4% of the popula-tion of Puerto Rico! LASU is also unwilling to accept that the major-

ity of the Puerto Rican population actually op-poses working toward independence from the United States. In the last status election, 50% of the population chose to keep the status quo and 46% chose to become the 51st state of the USA, while only 4% chose in-dependence. In actual legislative elections the pro-independence party only received 2.7% of the vote. What does LASU have to gain from lying to Binghamton Universi-ty about how real Puerto Ricans feel about their relationship with the United States? Clearly the members of LASU’s e-board must be shaking in their boots knowing that most Puerto Ricans don’t hate the USA. So now it’s time for the SA to take a step back and look closely at exact-ly what it is that they’re

funding. The SA is pumping money into an organization run by Sharpie lip-lined chongas who have hidden terrorist messages in their tramp stamps. This is a student group that blatantly promotes terrorists as he-roes and is perfectly willing to harass individuals that question their anti-democratic viewpoints. If Latin cul-ture was as poverty-stricken and de-graded as LASU claims, one would think that they’d be more accepting of other groups, because they are so oppressed by the white Latin elitists with their jobs and their cell phones. But if you’re white or mestizo (basi-cally, part of the majority of Latin America), Jewish, or gay, stay clear of LASU and its Stalinist e-board. Maybe if more authen-tic Latin people start voicing their opinions and make a name for them-selves, Binghamton University’s Latin American Student Union will have to begin to portray an image of decent, culturally proud students, and not one of knife-toting “pa-pis” and their diminutive “wifeys” who have no concept of true Latin culture. Once again I ask the Bing-hamton University community why Afro-Latin is one of the biggest events of LASU while other ethnici-ties in Latin America are not even mentioned. Where is the diversity LASU claims to promote? Better yet, why do our activity fee tuitions go to an organization that flagrantly supports well known historical ter-rorists and modern terrorists such as Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, and Daniel Ortega?

n the world of journalism, tabloids occupy the ninth circle of hell. They are most well known for breaking

embarrassing stories on celebrities; people such as Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan are frequent fixtures. For this reason, I was greatly per-

plexed to hear a story a few months ago regarding John Edwards in my mother’s favorite tabloid: the Na-tional Enquirer. Intrigued, I found the magazine on my kitchen table and opened it. After reading the ar-ticle, which describes Edwards’ sor-did affair that resulted in a child, I did not know what to believe. In the wake of political scandals, involv-ing politicians such as Eliot Spitzer and James McGreevey, anything is possible, but the National Enquir-er? This is a tabloid that commands only slightly more respect than the now defunct Weekly World News, whose claim to fame includes put-ting pictures of Bigfoot and space aliens on its covers. Fast forward a few months to this past August, and there is Ed-wards on television, admitting to and telling the nation how sorry he is for having this affair. To this day he continues denying the baby his

mistress birthed belonged to him. The woman whom Edwards said he had the affair was the same whose pictures had appeared in the Enquir-er, Miss Rielle Hunter. Upon hear-ing this I did a double-take—a pub-lication regarded as trash by “true journalists” had broken a huge story months before any other paper. The mainstream media’s excuse was they did not have enough evidence to link Edwards to Hunter. However, the article in the Enquirer had plenty of evidence, in-cluding photographs and plenty of testimony from sources regarding the two. They were even able to go into intricate detail of how Edwards was able to hide his mistress and probable child from the world. The Enquirer managed to be spot on. How exactly was it possible that a tabloid was able to break a political scandal of this magnitude that the New York Times would not touch? My answer is a simple one: an over-whelming liberal bias still exists in the mainstream media. Last year, when Republican Senator Larry Craig may or may not have tried to solicit sex in an airport bathroom, every news outlet in the country jumped on it. The story also remained in the press for weeks and Craig’s career was irreparably dam-aged. What Craig did was in fact no worse than Jim McGreevey, who admitted to picking up men in high-way rest stops while he was the sit-ting governor of New Jersey. Unlike Craig, McGreevey actually man-aged to garner at least some sym-

pathy from the press in the wake of his resignation. It also must be re-membered at that time McGreevey was also in the midst of a sexual harassment lawsuit. Craig never faced anything like this and it will never be known what actually took place in that Minnesota bathroom. I am not saying soliciting of sex in a public bathroom is correct regard-less of whether it was homosexual or heterosexual, but it appears Larry Craig took much more of a beating with far less evidence of any wrong-doing. The actions of either of these men pale in comparison to what Ed-

wards was able to carry out. This is the same man who was a senator, a vice presidential candidate in 2004, and a presidential candidate as re-cently as the beginning of this year. This is also the same man who has two young children and a coura-geous wife battling terminal breast cancer. What Edwards did reduces

Upon hearing this I did a double-take—

him to the lowest possible level of scum that could be imagined. The only person who can even come close to depravity of this scale is Eliot Spitzer. As we all know Mr. Spitzer’s black socks-equipped an-

tics became front page news. How-ever, the Spitzer story had to be broken due to the fact that it was dis-covered by the FBI instead of some “courageous” muckraking journal-ist. The papers also trashed Spitzer

brutally due to the fact he had worn out his welcome in the liberal com-munity. Nobody on either side of the political fence rushed to defend a man as patronizing and polarizing as Eliot Spitzer. With John Edwards, a differ-ent situation materialized. The press seemed unwilling to touch the story even though so much evidence had been uncovered. Edwards, unlike Spitzer, was still a golden boy in the eyes of American liberalism. When the story finally did break, Edwards didn’t face anywhere near the pub-lic scrutiny of Craig and Spitzer. To this day, the press has barely even mentioned the other investigation Edwards is currently embroiled in. He has been accused of giving his failed campaign’s funding away in assorted payouts to the people he had covering up his affair, includ-ing the mistress herself. If John Edwards contains anything that re-

sembles a soul he should take a pa-ternity test and when it comes back positive, as I expect it to, own up to his sordid life. As for the National Enquirer, it seems they hit this story spot on. My own personal definition of journalistic excellence is the abil-ity to report accurate news with as little personal bias as possible. With that definition in mind, in this case, it seems the Enquirer is the better media outlet. Their obsession with bizarre celebrity antics aside, they actually were able to break a po-litical bombshell no other “respect-able” newspaper would touch. Hell, if it were up to me, I would hand them a Pulitzer.

ast year I was an Obama supporter. As a libertarian, I agreed with his social poli-cies; however, my support

was abruptly withdrawn when his economic platform was released. Advertised under his “Plan to Strengthen the Economy,” is this quote, “I believe that America’s free market has been the engine of America’s great progress. It’s cre-ated a prosperity that is the envy of the world. It’s led to a standard of living unmatched in history. And it has provided great rewards to the innovators and risk-takers…” This statement initially elevated my ex-pectations of what was to come un-der his plan; I thought this was the kind of change I could believe in. Instead, I was severely disappoint-ed. Labor disputes have always been a dichotomy between “evil” corporations and the American worker. Obama wants to rely on unions to make things fairer. Unions have failed miserably to keep labor in America, and they will continue to fail if nothing changes. So, what change does Obama offer? Obama “will work to ban the permanent replacement of striking workers, so workers can stand up for themselves without worrying about losing their livelihoods.” Think about it before ap-plauding this “change.” It’s not collective bargaining if firms don’t

have any chips on their side of the table; it’s extortion. Firms have the right to fire workers if their demands exceed what the firm can afford, i.e. wages exceed level of productivity, and unions can stop work until a firm pays what it can afford (strike), thus there is a fair division of profits and power. Obama wants to abridge the right of a firm owner to fire union strikers whose demands exceed what a firm can reasonably offer as wages. The union would no longer have to be reasonable, it would be able to demand whatever it wants. Obama is against the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) and wants to change the North American Free Trade Agree-ment (NAFTA) to make it “fair” for American workers. Free trade with no barriers to entry is good. Anyone who has taken a 100-level Macro-economics course knows Ricardo’s Laws of Comparative Advantages. Free trade gets more products into a country cheaper, allows for special-ization, and frees up capital for in-vestment in future returns and new technologies, which, in turn, makes our economy grow. This increases employment and allows the Ameri-can consumer to purchase a DVD player for twenty dollars. Here are some numbers pointing to the positive effects NAFTA has had. The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative claims

that since 1993, U.S. corn exports to Mexico have increased eighteen-fold, U.S. beef and veal exports have increased five-fold, soybean exports have increased two-fold, and U.S. pork exporters have had a 130% market share increase. In Canada, agricultural exports have increased five-fold, beef and veal exports have increased 26%, soy-bean exports have increased 15%, and corn exports have increased 125%. NAFTA has obviously pro-duced good results for exporters

and consumers. The technology and manufacturing markets bear similar numbers. Thanks to NAFTA, Can-ada is the United States’ #1 trading partner. This was the main assertion in the book “The World is Flat.” For some odd reason Obama thinks

this is bad, and hasn’t learned from the economic history of the United States. Protectionist policies have always been bad for us, and were, in fact, a major cause of the Great Depression. Obama wants to raise the minimum wage to $9.50 by 2012 according to a July Wall Street Journal article and, according to his website, peg it to inflation (CPI). Minimum wage hikes always sound good, but here’s the truth: minimum wage hikes between 1959 and 1965 increased unemployment among black males from 11.3% to 22.7%; more than doubling it (courtesy of the Bureau of Labor Sta-tistics), and a similar de-crease among white males. Deere et al. in 1991 found that 27% increases in minimum wage in 1990-91 increased unemploy-ment among black teenage males by 10%. Burkhauser et al. found that minimum wage increases of 10% in 1996-97 caused a 2-6% decrease

In sum, increases in minimum wage crowd out employment and harm

small businesses that are already struggling. Obama’s suggested minimum wage hikes, if con-sistent with every historical economic trend, will increase

unemployment across all racial groups, especially among black

teenage males. Obama really needs to re-

examine his labor, wage, and foreign trade policies, because they will drastically harm the U.S. econ-omy.

This is part one of a three-part installment on Obamanomics. Next month, Randal will focus on Obama’s tax and oil policies.

We at Binghamton Review, being the good bloodhounds that we are, got to the bottom of this situation and found that, low and behold, Las Vegas does, in fact, place odds on Binghamton... just, not those kinds of odds. It turns out that there have been betting sheets, office pools, and OTB stubs invoking our campus for the past few years, completely unbeknownst to all of
