A few ideas that didn't make it into the story on former Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo's speech at UNC-Chapel Hill on Monday:

Tancredo said America's younger generations don't appreciate the values their forbears built the nation on.

"We're not adding to that [cultural ]capital. We are merely spending it," he said. "Why we are not proud of who we are, I just don't know."

He compared Western academics to Muslim fundamentalists in their hatred of Western culture.

"Socialism does not tolerate a free marketplace of ideas," he said. "We cannot bequeath to our children and grandchildren our nanny-state-based societies."
