Welcome to The Columbia Critic

In the near future, this site will be home to lively debate and discussion between some of the self-proclaimed smartest political and cultural junkies at Columbia University. Starting off this week with a bang are former Columbia College Republicans president Dennis Schmelzer and Brian Wagner, open-minded jack-of-all-liberal-trades.

Over time, this little experiment in wide-ranging discussion and argument will expand to include more writers. But for now, please read what we have to say, and give us your two cents.
