The Buckley Institute focuses on fostering intellectual diversity at Yale. Launched as the William F. Buckley, Jr. Program by undergraduates in 2011 under the guidance of Professor Donald Kagan, the Buckley Institute attracts students across the political spectrum, bolstering free speech at Yale and beyond. Our flagship effort remains our student organization, the William F. Buckley, Jr. Program, now with over 550 student fellows.
The Buckley Institute offers: a dynamic speaker series, funded summer internships for undergraduate students, debates, daylong workshops and seminars, a spring semester trip to Washington, D.C., and an annual Disinvitation Dinner in New York City, among a wide variety of other programming.
Some of our guests to campus have included Dr. Henry Kissinger, U.S. Senators, and professors from many of our peer institutions. We have sent students on subsidized trips to conferences in Washington D.C. and publish an annual essay contest.
Kotkin looks at the big picture. His aim is the truth, whatever that may be.We know more now than we knew seven years ago. Perhaps Trump's developing narcissistic aim was, to learn how to be permanent leader of the USA.Few know as much as Kotkin about geopolitics.Decision makers should listen to him.
John is right… man there’s advocates who’s disabled who says we should close it. Hey I’m disabled too and I disagree with some of them. I think both parties are the same and they want to make all of us fight for dumb reasons. People who live at sts don’t understand what the community is but I do. It depends on who the client is… guess dds doesn’t like that term but whatever. Id like to talk with you John more about this.
Bring a reading room to cape town please. The school system pass our kids from gradevto grade, though they have not achieved basic reading skills, and when the child is older the system sends them to ' retard "school
Two years have passed. I still like and respect him but rewatching this I noticed that he started saying "we (the US) won the Cold War" and at 25:49 he says that "the Russians have a grievance against us saying that we destroyed the Soviet Union, that we brought it down" ... and I see a problem because one statement contradicts the other.
I graduated from Yale & much prefer the theology of William Sloane Coffin. Buckley should have studied the theology of John C. Lennox, the C.S. Lewis of the 21st century.
I went to Yale & much prefer the thinking of William Sloane Coffin. In my humble opinion, William F. Buckley was NOT a "follower of Christ", listen to the theology of John C. Lennox, the C.S. Lewis of the 21st century.
I went to Yale & much prefer the theology of William Sloane Coffin. The right side of William F. Buckley's brain has failed him, read "The Great Partnership" by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks.
Assuming that China will inevitably make its move on Taiwan, at that moment it would probably be better to have a defeated russia alongside strong European Allies as opposed to an emboldened russia gearing up for the next push into Europe or already fighting with NATO from a renewed foothold in demolished Ukraine. Ukraine is winnable, and making that a priority now will be the least costly way of resolving the war in Europe, preserving US interests there and solidifying global support. Ukraine's decisive victory over russia now will minimize needing to fight multiple wars at once. Russia will continue fueling conflicts all over the world and undermining US and the west unless it is stopped. The opportunity to stop it is now, in Ukraine
She's wrong about the black marriage rate, according to the US census blacks in the US were married at a higher rate than whites before the 1960's welfare programs. I'm not sure how she missed the Moynihan report...
As former President for IBWC the group for women and the league for women’s voters we recognize Dr Benjamin Carson for his tireless efforts for medical protocols. As the Secretary for housing we are looking for fair and equitable access.
deflect and deny, accountability nowhere to find... The hasbara war is lost... if you are not protesting the genocide of Gaza you are not jewish! SCHANDE
59:00. When he’s talking about collapsing their economy, 15% of GDP. It’s hilarious to watch it 8 years later. Kotkin suffers from hubris, same goes for the rest of US university intelligentsia. Too liberal and left leaning. Not enough imagination to see the alternatives. “Be not afraid.” 🤣
I listen to this speech at least once a year.... It's the prequel to today's madness.... Biden's lawless presidency is copy and paste from the Obama era
Diversity unless it’s of opinion. Equity is not equality regarding opportunity but of outcome and inclusivity is redundant what is different between including everyone and pushing diversity. The criteria needs to forgo race, be dismissed. Intelligence, integrity, and a person who is on the conservative side of the aisle. Can you imagine how revolutionary this would be in today’s woke climate.
Problem solving and broad based knowledge. Out of the box thinking. Sometimes you need to endure criticism. Success is using the talent that God has given you to elevate other people. This country was founded on freedom of religion. Our constitution. Common sense. Fiscal responsibility. Life and quality of life.
Madam, an ideology can not be reformed. A muslim is not a muslim,if it rejects shahda, quran , hadith and the prophet. There can not be a meccan prophet,and a Medina prophet. They are one and the same.
China? They sent their children here for stealing our tech but they will kidnap our kids as their hostages whenever they like! Can we deal with evil? What kinds of the SKILLED you can use? Feeding them stronger ?
