A Gathering of Eaglets


The annual retreat for college (and some high school) Rebunglecan eaglets is being held at Ronnie Raygun's Rancho del Cielo in California. The 400-odd (oh, they're odd) students are attending the forum sponsored by the Young America's Foundation. The future Rebunglecan nimrods/ activists/ bullys are there to see the artifacts of Ronnie's glorious rule, listen to the likes of John "Let the Eagle Soar" Ashcroft and crackpot Dinesh D'Souza, and (we're guessing) trade Star Wars memorabilia.

As the WaPo reports today, one of the "rock stars" of the Rebunglecan eaglets is one Daniel Lipian, chairman of the Bowling Green State University Republican Club, whose contribution to political discourse heretofore was a stunt he pulled to spark a debate on illegal immigration. He and other Bowling Green eaglets put up a fence in the campus plaza and hosted a "Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day." Republican club members were kept on one side of the fence with t-shirts saying "Illegal Immigrant." Lipian says, "We were attacked over and over again by the left."

One dreams that the next time Li'l Lipian and his fellow nativists pull such a stunt, "the left" comes with t-shirts saying "Minuteman," with 2 x 4's swinging.
