Election Determines Fate of Nation

Mathew Manweller brings you a true “fish-out-of-water” narrative
about the life and ideas of a conservative academic. University
campuses have traditionally been the sanctuary of the left. But, every once in a while, a conservative slips through the cracks.

Dr. Manweller’s story takes you on a journey beginning with his days as a student at a liberal arts college and learning the ways of political correctness, followed by a five-year stint as the only Republican in his graduate school cohort, to being the only professor in the parking lot with a “Bush for President” bumper sticker on his car.

Manweller offers his insights on politics, economics, and foreign affairs from the perspective of a conservative academic perched in the ivory tower. Drawn from columns and editorials he has written over the years, he provides a conservative counterpoint to many of the debates that occupy the attention of American politics.

Humorous, controversial, and at times downright scary, Manweller gives you his opinions with double barrel force and a peek into a world most of us only see for four years of our life.

Dr. Mathew Manweller has spent 14 years walking the halls of academia, both as a student and teacher. He is currently a political science professor at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. He is the author of numerous books and articles on constitutional law, direct democracy, and judicial politics.
WHY THIS SITE?
In October of 2004, I wrote an editorial concerning the presidential election. The essay was titled:

"Election Determines Fate of Nation"
This editorial was part of a series I write for The Daily Record, a local paper for Ellensburg, Washington. Typically, my essays are read by no more than 6000 residents. However, the October article was picked up by bloggers, email lists, and eventually, national radio talk show hosts.

In response to the coverage the essay received, I have been swamped with email inquiries. Most people want a copy of the article and want to know if I have written anything else. I have chosen this site to post my monthly essays so that those interested (but do not live in Ellensburg) may access them.
