Baylor Democrats to host Anti-Pro-War Rally<br />

This past weekend the Baylor Democrats,<br />

a campus liberal group, hosted their first<br />

ever Anti-Pro-War rally. Organizers pointed out<br />

that they were not actually protesting the war,<br />

but instead those individuals who are in support<br />

of it.<br />

“I have watched enough Daily Show to<br />

know that Republicans, excuse me, war supporters<br />

are all dumb,” said Baylor Democrats<br />

president Karen Petree. “If the musings of John<br />

Stewart have taught me anything, it’s that people<br />

should make up their minds for themselves <strong>and</strong><br />

not follow the biased ponderings of a politically<br />

biased TV personality like Bill O’Reilly.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> rally saw a large turnout until the attendees<br />

realized the function was in fact being<br />

hosted by what some students called “hippie liberals.”<br />

When asked to comment Clay Schramm,<br />

another member of Baylor Democrats said, “I<br />

really think people need to underst<strong>and</strong> that we<br />

aren’t here to protest the war per say, but more<br />

the people who we perceive to be in support of it,<br />

regardless of their political views. I know that as<br />

Democrats, we are supposed to be open-minded,<br />

but we are really trying to get the message out<br />

there that we can be as politically obtuse as the<br />

next party.”<br />

“When I first came to this school, it<br />

wasn’t cool to be a Democrat,” lamented Sean<br />

O’Neil of the organization.<br />

“But now with Puff Daddy<br />

<strong>and</strong> Paris Hilton on the<br />

lefty b<strong>and</strong>wagon, it’s getting<br />

harder <strong>and</strong> harder to retain<br />

that surly, yet individualistic,<br />

stereotype that people<br />

like Michael Moore worked<br />

so hard to create. Now that<br />

everyone is becoming more<br />

open-minded socially, we<br />

have to protest Republicans<br />

themselves, not just the actions<br />

of their ‘lesser-of-twoevils’<br />

President.”<br />

Though the Baylor<br />

Democrats themselves<br />

deemed the rally a huge success,<br />

other campus political organizations where<br />

not convinced.<br />

Chairman of the Baylor College Republicans,<br />

Robert Watts, was quoted as saying,<br />

“Please tell me this is the<br />

lost episode of Star Trek<br />

where Kirk <strong>and</strong> Spock<br />

finally kiss.”<br />

Baylor Democrat member preparing<br />

for the upcoming election season.<br />

“Huh?! What other party?”<br />

Stephanie Bialko, who asked to be referred<br />

to as Anti-Republican (as opposed to<br />

Democrat, claiming that was cooler) said, “<strong>The</strong><br />

only thing worse than Republicans<br />

anymore is these<br />

Kinky supporters. Don’t<br />

they know they are going<br />

to steal away votes from<br />

our party, which actually<br />

has a chance? It’s hard<br />

enough getting votes for<br />

liberal c<strong>and</strong>idates without<br />

those idiots stealing the<br />

idealistic pot head vote!<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are just doing it to be<br />

cool anyway.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> rally ended without<br />

any major problems, which<br />

many attribute to the low<br />

attendance, seeing as how<br />

this is a conservative campus.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Baylor Democrats are already planning<br />

their next big event, tentatively titled, “Let’s Get<br />

Passive Aggressive: A Night of Poignant Political<br />

Chalking.”<br />
