Commentator and activist Daniel J. Flynn, author ofWhy the Left Hates America: Exposing the Lies That Have Obscured Our Nation's Greatness, will be presenting on Monday (Nov. 18) at 7:30 p.m. in Denison University's Herrick Hall. The event, sponsored by the Denison College Republicans, with the support of the Denison Lecture Series and the Young America's Foundation, will be free and open to the public.

Flynn is expected to address the Left's contempt for Western culture and argue that Americans have every reason to be proud of their nation and their heritage.
