Liberty University has revoked its recognition of the campus Democratic Party club, saying “we are unable to lend support to a club whose parent organization stands against the moral principles held by” the university.

“It kind of happened out of nowhere,” said Brian Diaz, president of LU’s student Democratic Party organization, which LU formally recognized in October.

Diaz said he was notified of the school’s decision May 15 in an e-mail from Mark Hine, vice president of student affairs.

According to the e-mail, the club must stop using the university’s name, holding meetings on campus, or advertising events. Violators could incur one or more reprimands under the school’s Liberty Way conduct code, and anyone who accumulates 30 reprimands is subject to expulsion.

Please e-mail the young man, and tell him you support the group, and it's goals.

I have an idea... picketers carrying signs saying "No Liberty at Liberty U," or, "Jesus was a Liberal Jew!"

I would NOT want any of the 30 or so Liberty U stutdents who participated in the College Democrats Club to participate... but surely there has to be a local activist group or two willing to get some press coverage to aid these young men and women.

I called Congressman Rep. Thomas Perriello's 5th Congressional district office in Virginia... Perriello is a democrat whose district is right accross the river from Lynchburg and they are already aware of this afront to Christian democrats.

I urge someone, anyone, from Virginia to get this ball rolling, and make this issue NAITONAL - this bastardization of our Christian faith shoulod not stand. Not unlike Osama bin Laden, these looney zealots are hijacking one of the world's great religions. While the school has every right to do what it chooses to do in it's own interests, Christians and democrats have the same right to act in their own self intersts - and right now that means to speak out against this atrocity.

2. Liberty University doesn't promote Christ's message

Since the age of 5, I wasn’t expected to live beyond age 36, so my 37th birthday was cause for great celebration and I’m happy to say that by the grace of God, I celebrated my 37th birthday this year… for the 27th time. Obviously I haven’t completed what God put me here on earth to do, which I believe is to unmask the Taliban like right wing religious zealots like those running Liberty University as being the Religious WRONG!
As a reporter for the Richmond Times Dispatch while a student at Hampden-Sydney College, a true Christian college, I had front page coverage of Robert F. Kennedy’s visit and as an award-winning reporter/news anchor for WDBJ-TV in nearby Roanoke back in the late 60’s and early 70’s, I covered a number of Washington Politicians, but nothing compared to the Secret Recordings I recently came across that will soon be published and will certainly make the officials at Liberty University seriously rethink their position on the Young Democrats. In fact, it will call into question much of what they teach. Liberty’s so-called principals are those of the anti-christ. These false prophets, which Christ warned about, engage in hate mongering, not spreading the love of Christ. All who profess to believe in the Gospels, especially the students at Liberty should go to www.secretrecordings.com and request notification of when the transcripts will be released. Carefully researched and authenticated by over 200 scriptural references, but book provides a clear understanding of Christ's guidance on today's issues.
The administrators at Liberty University should be careful. They’ve got it all wrong. The Democrats support the teachings of Christ like heal the sick, don’t kill, love one another. They shouldn’t identify themselves as Christians if they’re not teaching Christ’s message of Love. Don’t they recall in Ecclesiastes 3 that there’s a time to dance, and that Christ’s first miracle was to assist the marriage festivities by turning water into good wine. Jesus and the Apostles didn’t try to hold their people in check by threatening hellfire and damnation, but by showing their love of their fellow human beings. Come their day of judgment, they’ll likely be viewed as the anti-christ for leading so many astray.

3. "Give me Liberty because I am a chicken hawk!"

Academic freedom means nothing there. Should lose the accreditation.
