Rand Paul supporters at Ted Cruz's speech at Liberty University, March 23, 2015.

LYNCHBURG, Va.—Sen.  Ted Cruz took the stage to declare his presidential candidacy at Liberty University Monday, surrounded by upwards of 10,000 cheering students. They weren't all here by choice.

Attendance at convocation at Liberty is mandatory, and a group of students clad in "Stand With Rand" shirts sat center stage—directly in view of the cameras—to log their displeasure with having to be here.

"Of course, you want it to appear as if you have a large audience," said Eli McGowan, who organized the not-so-subtle protest. "We felt like if we didn't wear shirts showing our true political preference then the media might think we all supported Cruz."

"They make you come. If you don't come, you get punished," said Ana Delgado, a sophomore, who said students face a $10 fine for not showing up at convocation. Delgado wasn't among those wearing Paul gear. She is undecided about who she'll support in 2016, but she didn't like being forced to be part of Cruz's announcement.

After Cruz finished his speech, the red-clad cohort of Paul supporters wandered over toward the media section and lingered for press interviews. Lee Showalter is a 22-year-old Liberty student and a member of Young Americans for Liberty, a group that grew out of Ron Paul's failed presidential campaigns. He said he showed up in Rand gear to "just show solidarity."

"Ted Cruz is nice," Showalter said. But he thinks Paul would make "a better president."

Christopher Cromwell, a 20-year-old sophomore sporting a "Stand With Rand" shirt, said he was planning to volunteer for Paul's campaign and didn't want to "make it appear as though all the students supported Cruz."

McGowan said the plan came together "as soon as we heard" of Cruz's big announcement. They passed out about 50 shirts, he said, and quickly ran out. "They went like hotcakes," a girl wearing a Paul shirt chimed in.

If you don't participate in CruzCare, there's a $10 tax fine?

And they call it, LIBERTY University. (1 image)

Well, that's true, but that's not the whole truth.

Liberty students who live on campus are required to attend a thrice-weekly speaking series or face a $10 fine. Ted Cruz happened to be one of the speakers this week.

There will be two other speakers this week, and students have to attend those, also. Just as they attended three last week and will attend three next week. And three the week after.

Or they can pay the $10.

Maybe they should have better speakers and fewer of them so students would be more interested.

Not much liberty at Liberty University, it seems.

"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;
 
...
that to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves, is sinful and tyrannical;
...
 
 that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them. "

"that to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves, is sinful and tyrannical"

Is that True?

Hmm, evidently "liberty" university didn't get the memo.

Oh and P.S. I'm not "standing" with Rand: Cruz or Lose in 16!

I'm curious if they were also fined if they didn't applaud?

“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
