“When I first arrived at Princeton, I honestly didn’t know the fundamental differences between Republicans and Democrats,” Hegseth wrote in a September 2002 publisher’s note.

“That being said, I was raised with a general appreciation for government, patriotism, and small-town values, but most importantly, my parents instilled in me a thorough understanding of right and wrong—and an unwavering faith in an almighty God. Needless to say, when I arrived at Princeton, my eyes were opened quickly and they’ve been wide open ever since.”

TPM reviewed Hegseth’s youthful writings, including one year of columns for the Tory. They represent some of his earliest forays into political commentary, as Hegseth highlighted aspects of campus life that evidently turned him into a conservative firebrand. In pieces for the Tory, Hegseth and the team he oversaw railed against efforts to promote diversity on campus and what they described as the immoral “homosexual lifestyle.” Hegseth also cheered the Iraq War, wondered whether Princeton was too laudatory of Martin Luther King Jr., and advocated for children receiving “strong discipline” from their parents “in the form of spankings, moving next to soap-in-the-mouth.”

Prior to Princeton, Hegseth’s activities in his home state of Minnesota were not particularly political. According to the 1999 yearbook from Forest Lake High School, Hegseth played football, basketball, and was a member of the concert choir. He submitted a senior biography that described his dreams to “go to a college (maybe military academy), marry a beautiful wife … roll in the dough, have Pete Jr. and teach him hoops.”

Hegseth made much more of an impact in the school’s political scene. He won an election to be class senator his freshman year after campaigning on a promise to “get the job done and get the job done right.”

Pete Hegseth is looking better and better. I hope all libs and Dems read this. Making their heads explode. Making more of their crazy women shave their heads and swear off all sex with men, while Trump is President. And JD Vance too!

It was 2002. That was a while ago.

I dont know a lot about MLK. I didn’t like him and then I readd more and I did like him. But maybe Princeton was too laudatory of him.

And my aunt, after her husband died, beat three boys with a wooden spoon all the way to CEO of a good company, partner in a law firm and Managing Director of an investment bank.

So he wasn’t too off on not sparing the rod.

Everything else I agree with.

So, Pete is the POLAR OPPOSITE of Biden’s merry band of Perverts, Pedophiles, and Sexual Deviants that have populated the current administration for the past four years.

Okay

You can tell how brilliant this selection is by the level of leftie outrage.

Sounds like he is the perfect man for the job.

MLK’s dream was valid, despite the fact that he was an adulterer and a plagiarist.
