No Fight LeftJust like grown-up Republicans, College Republicans face an identity crisis.

Memories. The article brings back my college days when I was active in the Young Democrats chapter on my campus and confronting our rivals, the College Republicans. The two groups had their understanding: the College Republicans chapter knew the Young Democrats were Commies, and we were convinced the College Republicans were an auxiliary of Hitler Youth.

My campus was - and still is - essentially a jock and frat school, so, naturally, the College Republicans chapter had more members. However, we of the Young Democrats were secure in our belief that we represented the forces of Truth, Beauty, and Light, which gave us the strength to carry on in the face of monumental student indifference.

Lots of good times and I met some interesting people (including then President Carter, very briefly,) but my political activism fairly much ended upon receiving my diploma. I think the main benefit of these campus political organizations is as a training ground and a networking forum for the true True Believers of the political spectrum.

Twitter is So NOT the Future.

Leave it to the GOP to get that completely wrong. Twitter is the Internet's macarena. By the time they figure it out, it's going to be over.
