Op/Ed in DePaulia Lies

A recent Op/Ed in the DePaulia claims this about the DePaul Conservative Alliance (DCA):

"The DCA constantly speaks out against Gays and Lesbians, Women who feel opressed, Immigrants and basically all other classes of people included in any discourse of social critique because they do not feel certain groups deserve equal treatment."

And here's the kicker:

"Instead of creating debate under the false pretense of "discourse" (something that requires both an actual dialogue and relevance to realistic logic), [the DCA] really should just reveal their motives as being ones born of supremacy and demanding subjugation of all others."

As Vice-President of the DCA I can assure you that these claims are nothing more than falsities mirrored by an ideological agenda which seeks to turn this campus more and more against conservative philosophy. I implore Mr. Abbas to find one statement the DCA ever made which calls for superior treatment of one group over another. We have never spoken out against gays, we have never spoken out against women, and we have never spoken out against legal immigrants. These distortions of the truth are indicative of the ignorance people like Abbas have about our strain of college conservatism.

The amount of absurdity in the latter statement renders me to abstain from even responding to it. Again, I beg you Mr. Abbas to find any evidence which supports your claim that we truly wish to force submission and control others on campus. Abbas' article is nothing more than romanticized vernacular which seeks to distort, defame, and blatantly lie about the DCA movement on campus.
