Global Warming Beach Party -- Throw a "beach party serving frozen non-alcoholic margaritas and pina coladas from a tiki hut. Set up a kiddie pool as decoration and pass out pamphlets and papers explaining the truth about "global warming. This event could be held at any time of the year, but it is most effective when held in light snow. (Make sure not to serve alcohol or they might end up having safe sex. Nothing says crowd pleaser like passing out non-alcoholic frozen drinks on a cold day.)

Anti-UN Day -- Set up a plywood board made into a bean bag toss with the faces of dictators from around the world which the UN has failed to influence significantly. This is an excellent event to point out the UN's hypocrisy, ineffectiveness, and negative effects on the United States. (Or maybe a bomb Iran dart board!)

Charity Bandits -- This is a street theater project in which two or more members of your group dress up as bandits, complete with ski masks, black from head to toe, and very obviously toy water pistols. They then hold up anyone who passes by to demand money for the poor. This is designed to illustrate how government taxation and charity constitute theft rather than real charity. (Caution, make sure that scheduling doesn't coincide with Second Amendment Awareness day!)

Empty Holster Protest -- For the empty holster protest, members of your group wear empty holsters throughout the day and hold a rally for concealed carry on college campuses. This is an easy event to organize and a great way to get media attention.

Gun Raffle -- The gun raffle is a good event for Second Amendment groups, general conservative groups, and libertarian groups to gain publicity and raise awareness about current Second Amendment and gun rights issues.

Conservative Coming Out Day -- This event for general conservative groups is an excellent play off Gay/Lesbian coming out of the closet events and will probably be met with serious opposition or even protest. (Or even a serious ass beating!) However, this is designed to draw attention to the bias against conservatism on college campuses.

Affirmative Action Bake Sale -- This event is fun for general conservative groups or libertarian groups which highlights the unfairness of reverse discrimination which occurs through affirmative action programs. The bake sale has "affirmative action prices which favor minorities and women over white males.

They are just so oppressed and they just can't understand why. It must be that evil leftist oppression. They are discriminated against on campuses across America when all they want to do is share their conservative views.

Pro-war, anti-education, anti-poor, anti-healthcare, anti-UN, anti-environmentalism, anti-LGBT, pro-guns, anti-feminism, pro-military, anti-tax. Yet they wonder, why don't people like them?

I wonder how they ever made it to college in the first place. I fear that if they attempt some of these activism projects they will learn something about diversity very quickly. You just can't make this stuff up!

I who am I? Born at the pinnacle of American prosperity to parents raised during the last great depression. I was the youngest child of the youngest children born almost between the generations and that in fact clouds and obscures who it is that (more...)
