He’s a gun-control liberal, no matter where he’s from. And, the Afghans with their rifles and RPGs are still occupying the field that we are withdrawing from, so his military knowledge comes from television, pretty much. So his opinion is about as valid as witchcraft....

Funny thing is.....our side is the one that has the engineers who designed and built the Raptor. We built it and we sure know its weaknesses, or we build our own, Dumb*ss!

He has been reading and responding to posts about his op-ed. He still does not get it. He is guilty of the same thing he is accusing others of doing — promoting violence against political opponents.

In the 60’s, he would have been one of the malcontents in the SDS calling for revolution. Now, that his people are in power, he wants to use the power of the state to smash the opposition. This guy just needs to look into the mirror if wants to see the real enemy of representative government.

The perfersser obviously doesn't believe in DOJ crime statistics, which refute everything he says.

Journalism Professor Christopher Swindell, Marshall University. (Despite this, I’m sure he would whine at length about the “academic freedom” to threaten the lives of others, as well as make sexist, bigoted, crude and offensive remarks. As well as misspelling “cretin”, which is now an offensive word referring to some people who are physically and mentally handicapped. The man is a pig.)

Marshall University: Speech Code of the Month (1/11/11)

http://www.campusreform.org/blog/?ID=832

This public university in West Virginia has so many restrictive speech codes that it is difficult to choose just one for our Speech Code of the Month.

But for now, we concern ourselves with Standard 3 of Marshall’s Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.

Standard 3 asserts, generally, that “Marshall University students and student groups respect and honor the human rights and dignity of other persons, groups and organizations.” Following this is a list of specific violations of Standard 3, which include:

“Committing, conspiring to commit, or causing to be committed any act directed toward a specific person or persons with the intent and/or effect of causing physical or mental harm, injury, fear, stigma, disgrace, degradation, or embarrassment.”

“[A]cts exhibiting prejudice and/or racism.”

“Committing, conspiring to commit, or causing to be committed any act directed toward a specific person or persons with the intent and/or effect of stigmatizing, frightening, coercing, or demeaning that person.”

“Incivility or disrespect of persons.”

“Lewd, indecent, or obscene conduct or expression.”

I truly cannot think of another speech code that prohibits such a staggering amount of constitutionally protected speech.

You can be punished for embarrassing someone. You can be punished for disrespecting someone. You can be punished for exhibiting prejudice, even perhaps in the form of an unpopular opinion on a controversial political or social issue. You can be punished for telling crude jokes. This policy covers so much speech that it seems there is very little speech for which Marshall University can’t punish you.

Sorry, but the soiree at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia did absolutely nothing to settle the issues of secession, nullification and treason. The surrender only ended the shootin’ war over those issues.

Remember when dissent against the government was considered the highest form of patriotism?

Funny how views change depending on whose in office.

Funny comments on “Rate my professors.” Scroll down to comments in 2007, even back then students called him a communist.

I love watching liberals cry after we kick their asses. Can’t wait to hear their blustering after concealed carry becomes the law of Illinois.
