Mission Statement THE COUNTERWEIGHT is a non-partisan publication dedicated to promoting the free exchange of ideas in an environment where meaningful debate and ideological diversity are often lacking. We, its staff, seek to serve the Bucknell community by infusing it with the ingredients necessary for a balanced educational experience. These ingredients include conservative, libertarian, and classical liberal thought. We aim to nd and describe logical solutions to issues big and small, while adhering to the Constitution of the United States. We believe that peace is best achieved through strength, that utopia is nowhere, and that true equality is blind to race, creed, sex, and sexuality. We take it as our mission to expose the inadequacies of the leftist ideas that dominate this University and to articulate an alternative viewpoint. We strive to inform, engage, and perhaps even amuse our readers in doing so. We invite the active participation of any student who shares our vision and would like to join our mission.

Diversity, Social Justice, and Sustainability: Conservative Values

By Alfred Kentigern Siewers (Assoc. Prof., English)
I join many in mourning the untimely passing this summer of Tom Shawe, 53, an esteemed colleague and chemistry professor at Bucknell, the former long-time advisor to the Conservatives Club. As we say in my faith tradition, "May his memory be eternal!" He is survived by his wife Rebecca Mohr, and other relatives in the South, as well as by his beloved dogs, Jasper, Fiona, and Cedric. Our President John Bravman noted in his statement to the campus, "Tom was a talented and insightful organic chemist who was a highly effective instructor of Introductory Organic Chemistry," "an ardent supporter of academic rigor in the classroom and in the research laboratory." A graduate of the University of Georgia at Athens, with a Ph.D. from Emory, he received many research grants for his work, including awards from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. "Toms research involved new methods for synthesizing compounds with valuable medicinal properties," President Bravman noted. "He was highly valued by his departmental colleagues for his deep knowledge of chemistry, his intellectual creativity, and his willingness to defend rigor and depth in the chemistry curriculum." Tom also had the courage of his convictions. After his recent passing, students in the Conservatives Club contacted me, saying that they were having trouble finding a faculty member at Bucknell to be advisor in his stead. They had heard through the underground that one was hidden in plain sight in the English Department (in fact my new office is right on the corner of Vaughan Lit by Bertrand Library, near the plaque for Good luck John). I may have been identified by the lonely Romney bumper sticker on my car in a sea of facultystaff Obama stickers, although that display was more ironically contrarian than partisan on my part. Still, in memory of Toms legacy, and of the importance of diverse views at our liberal arts university, I agreed to step up unworthily. Frankly, in his honor, I also would like to promote inserting political diversity explicitly as a category in Bucknells new diversity plan. Lets call it the Shawe provision. Political non-conformity I do know. I grew up in a liberal Democratic family in Chicago, with personal and family commitments to the civil-rights movement, and my own ardent devotion as a young prevoter to first George McGovern and then Jimmy Carter. But in a city where the Democratic political machine was corrupt and all-powerful, my family branches hid traces of a secret crypto-cult known as Chicago Republicanism, going back to my great-grandfather, who participated in the Republican convention that nominated Lincoln at Chicagos Wigwam in 1860. Only now it can be told publicly. Unlike paleo-conservatives in the South and bicoastal libertine-libertarian conservatives today, hidden neighborhood Republicans in Chicago often considered themselves Lincoln Republicans, in a

amid the Democratic Machine, the Southern agrarian end of America, given its racist associabig tent of urban and localism, grounded in a moral neighed Protestant, Jewish, and Cath-

olic family faiths, historically including African-Americans. Aspirational in life in a family individualism way, they had an ideal of service to others as the rationale for economic and civic life. With such subversiveness in my ancestry, in junior high and high school I went on a dystopian literary reading spree, which finally led me deep into Alexander Solzhenitsyns newly translated Gulag Archipelago. Lured by George Orwells writings into journalism to cover Chicago politics, I followed a personal trajectory to grad school in medieval studies, and conversion to the Eastern Orthodox Christian faith after discovering Dostoevsky on the side. Along the way, in my political evolution, I even helped to lead a local Green Party organization with a communitarian focus. But concern over our nationally accelerating technocracy (an apt term used by C.S. Lewis in the 1940s to describe bureaucratic and cultural rule by tech-savvy elites focused on their own security) finally drove me into registering as a reluctant Republican in central PA. That's because I felt that our country needs an intellectually vibrant (not merely provocative or reactionary) conservatism to subvert its often-bipartisan elite consensus. Students at Bucknell are especially well-poised to contribute to such political diversity.
Do we want a University with a diversity of opinion, or merely one-sided lecturing?

We especially need in the future, I think, to contribute better conservative approaches to four key issues, on campus and in society:

--Diversity. Conservatism can help make our community not only more politically diverse, but more intellectually and culturally so. It draws on traditions from many cultures and time periods, with varied experiential lessons and perspectives. It celebrates the importance of the diversity of embodied life on earth, as well as diverse approaches to economic life, while making room for religious traditions of all kinds, important in an increasingly international community like Bucknell, where "secular privilege" can be a cloaked but real personal issue for many. --Social justice. The American Right in my view too often in our time has been blind to sins of greed and racism, idolizing corporations, accepting abstract individualism rather than deeper personalism as an ethos, while encouraging excesses of our national security state. Yet the very term "social justice"
4

emerged from conservative traditions that provide alternatives to technocracy. In creative approaches ranging from support for entrepreneurship, urban agrarianism, localism, communitarianism, to imaginative "anarcho-monarchist" constitutionalism and environmentalist geolibertarianism, conservatism can offer human-scale solutions to issues from health care to industrial policy and food issues. By highlighting justice as intergenerational to "the seventh generation, and emphasizing human dignity, it can come to articulate more compassionate pro life positions as social justice--to help those less fortunate in the U.S. and around the world; to support better education, health care, and economic opportunity; and to advocate sensitively for alternatives to abortion and in support of traditional marriage--all as social justice issues. --Sustainability. If we think of sustainability as an overlapping of personal and civic virtue, and of the realms of economy and ecology, this must involve meaningfulness in everyday life. It requires relationship to one another through mutually engaging narratives and traditions, and ecological and community memories, across generations. To this conservatism has much to contribute, such as the inclusive yet patriotic oikophilia, or love of home, which the philosopher Roger Scruton cites as a basis for developing national policy on environmental issues. --Humility and good humor. Everyone needs these qualities, which paradoxically help to shape moral courage. Conservatism to be reborn as an effective balance to liberalism in our society especially needs them. Although as faculty advisor to the student Conservative Club I am neither censor nor editor, I hope to lend my voice in support of a good-humored and humble yet courageous grassroots conservatism. Let's express the spirit of Lincoln in American conservatism, akin in spirit to the neighborhood counter-cultural resistance to Chicagos Machine that I knew growing up, but deeper and more inclusive. Not a liberal elitist corporate Republicanism, libertine libertarianism, nor neo-colonialist neoconservatism, but an hospitable conservatism of happy warriors, mindful of generations past and future, and grounded in a dynamically shared experience of community and place today. May such a humbler and morally courageous conservatism draw on traditions that are both working class and intellectual, rural and urban, old and new, in creatively diverse ways from many traditions, to reach honestly toward new approaches to justice, reform, and sustainability. May it hold to a strong moral compass with devotion both to freedom and to an intergenerational and inclusive ethos of faith, friendship, and family. May Bucknell play an important role in this deepening of American political diversity.

Dont Look Now: the Continued Use of Drones to Spy and to Deceive
By: Emerson Davis

Recently, America has been forced to reconsider its mores, which safeguard individualism and privacy. The snooping conversation required full attention after Edward Snowdens whistle-blowing, exposing NSAs alleged activities. For the present, America wrangles between dichotomy of privacy and security, and Snowden imbibes his year of asylum with Stolichnaya at the Kremlin. Given Snowdens circumstance, I thought it was appropriate to begin with a Russians thoughts. Fyodor Dostoevsky, wrote, The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons. Riffing off of Dostoevsky, I want to raise the initial question: what is the extent of American civilization, if the prisons watch expands beyond the razor wire and into the civilian realm? Rather than the surveillance towers and crooked correctional guards, the American government payrolls defense contractors to manufacture drones for the inspection of every Average Joe. Unlike correctional guards, drones cannot be bribed with smokes or petty cash; rather, drones create a physical disconnect between jailor (government) and detainee (citizen). So, I must ask, is the United States observing the population to fabricate a threat? If these are the intentions of the American government, then 9mm is to Zimmerman, as a drone is to the American government. Before the Anne Coulter-thumping, McCarthyistic zealots deem me a socialist and unAmerican; I recommend they hear me out. Then, they can decide whether or not to report my seditious activity to the NSA. I am just saying, justified or unjustified, both Zimmerman and the United States are paranoidan emotion that is never good, and can usually be corrected with a heavy dose of Xanax. Nevertheless, returning to the drone issue, I see the conversation as two distinct discussions: military use on Americans abroad and domestic surveillance.

Under the moniker of counter-terrorism operations, the military authorizes the use of weapon-bearing UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles) against American citizens. To be fair, the military did not indiscriminately stalk and fire on these citizenswithout cause. The four Americans killed were Anwar al-Awlaki,Samir Khan, Jude Kennan Mohammed, Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki. Allegedly, all four Americans had become radicalized Muslims, and Anwar al-Awlaki was the keystone in the plots of SeptemFiguratively and realistically, there now exists a scary conflict between freedom to act freely versus being under constant surveillance.

ber 11th. If I had the power to approve the drone strike, I would like to rashly act, defending the killing of these extremists on the grounds that they forfeited their rights as American citizens when they became terrorists. However, I cannot do this in good conscious. I refuse to be comfortable with the image of two pimply twenty-somethings, eliminating the suspected insurgents from some German military base. These soldiers gun down people with the same weighted consideration as a 1st person shooter game, afterwards picking their crotch because their jumpsuit is too tight. The separation of killer and victim is undeniable. Nevertheless, this is not a military issue; the blame rests upon Washington. I do not want to seem ridiculous. If an armed gunman ambled onto Bucknells Campus, I would want the boys-in-blue to pursue the gunman in their sporty unmarked Ford

Edge. I trust in Public Safety, as I know the officers are all too eager to fire their handguns on someone/thing. However, this scenario is becoming increasingly unlikely. For rumor has it, after fall break, Buffalo Valley Police will be instituting militarized security checkpoints at downtowns most threatening locationsSaint Catherines and 6th Street. In truth, by law enforcement acting unencumbered by our legal process, it can prevent further injury to our community. Likewise, bomb-totting Americans in the Yemen desert does sound like a large threat to our community. Therefore, I encourage intelligent legislation to establish the roles of drones when pursuing American targets abroad and domestically. I am trying not to sound like the cadaverous Ron Paul, but I enjoy my privacycall me crazy. I loathe the peeping-Tom voyeurism of the government. As Frost wrote, Good fences make good neighbors, and I believe, as Americans, we should value this principle. I am not uncomfortable with the concept of drones viewing my daily happenings. To those who say, If your doing nothing wrong, then you should have nothing to hide. I cringe at such naivety. This argument is avoidance of the reality of privacy infringement. For instance, do you feel comfortable with the government or a private corporation viewing pictures of your children? Just as a reminder, there are almost 750,000 registered sex offenders in the United States. Admittedly, I give this example with intent to provoke; however, at this current time, I am not prepared to overlook my civil liberties for supposed protection. Thus, my fears rest on the loose-term of and, occasionally, defamatory designation of terrorist. It inflicts the same horror as communist orbefore thatwitch. I urge the government and its citizens not to fall into hysteria. Yes, there are extremists who deserve our persecution; however, I do not want the government to embolden domestic fanatics with the capability of an omnipresent and unblinking surveillance. Until then, the drones tinted flylike eye will continue to monitor the cell-block of suburbia.

Media Musings: Opinion or Truth

The failure to keep popular media fair

Freedom of quired the in politics. Todia presents perspective, acts to influzens views.

Her rationale is because liberals operate almost all the major networks and newspapers in this country while three-quarters of the country describe themselves as moderate or conservative. To further this claim, is another study funded by the University of California, Los Angeles wherein they studied major newspapers, TV and radio stations in 2005 and the results de-cisively concluded that, there is a quantiable and signicant bias to the left. Numerous record-keepers have documented that more than 80% of reporters vote for Democrats. My issue lies in that those in the news industry have their own corporate, political, and econom-ic agendas, which have taken precedence over the truth and the interests of the American people.

To me, these actions by the DOJ are a clear and absurd abuse of power as it crosses the boundaries of both personal life and professionalism. Not only is the media biased, but also it cannot even be honest when itself is the target of the very people that they are supposed to investigate.

Why Are Tattoos Popular?

A Sign of the Times or Something More?
By: Thomas Rie
I am willing to bet you - the reader, any amount of money that you cant deny that tattoos are by and large becoming more common and treasured in today's ever adapting culture. Tattoos are seen just about everywhere- whether it is in TV commercial ads, on rappers in music videos, and even amongst older generations of people, which I myself find particularly amusing. As some begin to accept the rapidly growing tattooing fad, others have begun to probe the reasoning behind body art. It is my belief that a common consensus of readers would agree that the increased number of tattooed persons can be drawn back to the popularization over the concept that a person can achieve artistic embodiment by simply sitting in a chair, feeling a bit of pain for 10 minutes while the needle leaves a permanent mark for the rest of the world to see. To back this claim, there have been studies that show that the increase in tattoo artistry has come about due to an overwhelming number of people who seek to cover up emotional trauma or on the contrary seek to celebrate a joyous occasion in a catchy, trendy new movement.

In a survey conducted in May of 2012 by The Harris Poll, which asked the simple question, Do you have a tattoo? revealed something that has never happened before in history- more women have tattoos then do males. The split of people who have a tattoo

Is this the look you want to portray...forever?

tipped the scale for the very first time in documented history. The poll revealed that 23 percent of females answered yes to the question, while men only answered yes 19 percent of the time. The poll also went on to conclude that one in five U.S. adults now have a Tattoo, yet ironically more than two in five without a tattoo say adults with tattoos are less attractive. I find this contradiction and opposing split amongst the US residents as the most intriguing storyline, and that is why I decided to share it with you here.

Conversely, one could challenge this whole claim by justifying that tattooing has been in existence longer then one might guess. As it turns out, tattooing for both divine as well as ornamental reasons has extended back to an estimated 10,000 BCE in Japan.

However, in todays society as people continue to flock to Tattoo Parlors and receive tattoos in increasing numbers, some sectors of the business world have begun to be more accepting and hiring people with visible tattoos, while others have not. As Forbes has studied workplace tattoo rules and regulations seem to diverge greatly even within industries. Many contemporary companies have long stressed their commitment to diversity and inclusion, and as a result tattoos are becoming increasingly unproblematic across the board. Laidback tattoo policies for blue-collar and art-related jobs arent shocking, but the increasingly tolerant outlook of leaders in the corporate, the educational and the medical industries are more surprising, as they have been notorious as to hire less competent applicants who dont wear such tattoos. Relating back to University ties, tattoo policies for positions in universities differ as well- this of course is dependent on the institutions mission. Bruce Potts, professor at The University of New Mexico, has an uncharacteristic look; Professor Potts wears a full tribal tattoo on his face. He commented stating, I havent had trouble getting a job because success is all about how one presents him or herself, and doesnt solely depend on appearance. But UNMs acceptance of Potts atypical appearance is not necessarily representative of all employers. Especially when it comes to younger children, institutions and camps are more concerned with the message that a leaders appearance may be sending. In result, it is my concern that there soon may become many skilled people who will be denied jobs because of their decision to attain a tattoo. So before sitting in the tattoo chair one must seriously consider whether the visibility of self-expression in a physical sense worth the potential loss of a job opportunity.

And the Big Weiner Is

Even though both Weiner and Filner have failed to stay relevant, there remains an important lesson to be learned
By: Shiri Levine In 2011, a sexting scandal involving the unfortunately named Congressman Anthony Weiner, hit the media hard (pun intended). Weiner was accused and eventually admitted to sending waist down photos of himself to younger women and acknowledged conducting inappropriate exchanges with six women via the Internet. With pictures surfacing and more and more women coming forward, Weiner originally insisted he would not resign and instead requested a leave of absence from Congress in order to enter professional treatment. When asked if Weiner should resign, President Obama answered, Well, obviously what he did was highly inappropriate. I think he's embarrassed himself, he's acknowledged that, he's embarrassed his wife and his family. Ultimately there's going to be a decision for him and his constituents. I can tell you that if it was me, I would resign. When you get to the point where, because of various personal distractions, you can't serve as effectively as you need to at the time when people are worrying about jobs and their mortgages and paying the bills, then you should probably step back. These words from Obama as well as pressure from his party took a toll on Weiner. Because of this increasing pressure, on June 16th, 2011, Anthony Weiner resigned from Congress and apologized to his neighbors, constituents and wife for his personal mistakes and the embarrassment he caused. Weiner just did not get his happy endingor did he? On May 22, 2013, less than two years after his resignation from Congress, Weiner launched his re-entry into the world of politics with a run for New York City mayor, asking voters for a second chance. With his wife by his side, Weiner came back for round two and until public backlash and common-sense prevailed , Weiner seemed to be the only candidate that people paid any attention to. On the other side of the country in San Diego, seven women came forward accusing Mayor Bob Filner of sexual harassment. The first woman to accuse Mr. Filner publicly, Irene McCormack Jackson, had served as a former staff member of Filners. She filed a lawsuit against him on July 22, 2013 accusing him of repeated harassment in the office. In the days that followed, other highly accomplished professional women made their own allegations. Retired Navy admiral, Veronica Froman also came forward and stated Filner once blocked her from exiting his former Congressional office and ran his finger down her cheek, asking if she had a man in
14 Anthony Weiners portrait

her life. Another instance, including President of the San Diego Port Tenants Association, Sharon BernieCloward joined the extensive list of women who accused Filner when she went on the record and claimed that as she was talking with friends, Filner proceeded to give her a hug, and began to touch her inappropriately as he groped her backside. Another successful woman, Joyce Gattas, Dean of the College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts at San Diego State University described interactions where Filner held her too tight or kissed her on the cheek. She also stated, Ive experienced his sexual innuendos with me at various events that again, have left me in that sadly strange feelings of: This is inappropriate, this is unwanted and this shouldnt be happening. With more and more women coming forward and with animosity and resentment growing towards the Mayor, the media as well as the city of the San Diego looked to Filner to resign. After fighting it until the bitter end, Filner sent in his resignation on August 22nd, 2013. With these men fighting to continue their careers in politics, women around the nation have been left utterly disgusted by the behavior and conduct of these politicians that were in office to represent them. In a statement addressing the behavior of these two men and their sex scandals, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke harsh and biting words for her former colleagues, criticizing their behavior stating, The conduct of some of these people that we are talking about here is reprehensible. Furthermore she added, It is so disrespectful of women. And whats really stunning about it is, help, do it in private. Pelosi took the words right out of the mouths of many American women- myself included. These elected men have not only embarrassed themselves but have proven on numerous occasions that they do not respect women. They have proven to all of us that they are neither mature nor courteous enough to represent the hundreds of thousands of people they make decisions for daily while they are in office. By attempting to continue their political careers, these men have created a precedent in which men can behave completely and utterly inappropriate. But more saddening is the belief that they could attempt to rectify their mistakes with a short and sweet trip to counseling. I will now conclude by saying that these men should be utterly ashamed of themselves, as should Weiners spouse, Huma Abedin for condoning Weiners behavior. I could go on for hours on that topic alone, but really, you dont want to know my thoughts on Weiners wife embodying Hilary Clinton and standing by her man.
