Professor Bemoans Stupidity of His 'Teabagger' Students

Panelist Robert S. McElvaine, who is Elizabeth Chisholm Professor of Arts & Letters and chair of the department of history at Millsaps College, focused on the argument made, he said, by many conservatives today that the failure of the New Deal to end the Great Depression shows that government spending isnt the way to revive a slumping economy. The most important thing to realize, said McElvaine, is that so-called conservatives I prefer to call them regressives have long been trying to restore the conditions that created the Great Depression in the first place.
These are people of faith, McElvaine continued, and their basic faith is in the market as God.

I must have missed it. Did the professor actually show that FDR’s programs ended the Great Depression?

...and this particular “Professor of Arts and Letters” at, what was it again, “Millsaps College” (aka “the 13th Grade”) thinks his opinions should be paid attention to, because... ...?

So this professor was calling his liberal, homosexual students stupid?

Anyone who believes that the New Deal did anything other than to prolong the Great Depression is an idiot. World War II ended it. As FDR’s first-two-terms Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau stated for the record, the New Deal worsened things, not least by adding massively to the debt.

You will ask yourself that forever.
Our son went to Berkeley. Came back nutty. Now working at a surf shop in Santa Monica.
Gives a whole new meaning to the term BS Degree.
To: jentilla
We all know that liberals LOVE getting a good old-fashioned teabagging, which explains why they use that term as often as they do.
ATTENTION DEMOCRAT IDIOTS: In November, you’re going to get teabagged by the majority of America.

Why indeed?
Mark it down: The next big trend in edumakashun will be home-school college, with kids jumping over the baccalaureate altogether and skipping straight to the GREs/LSATs/MCATs.
I wouldn't give a wooden nickel to these commie-lib nihilist professors.
To: jentilla
Wow. I see weapons-grade stupid all the time. But how does it get a Ph.D., a full professorship and a department chair?

Adolph Hitler was more instrumental in ending the Great Depression than FDR.

I let my job applicants know that a degree from a public or liberal private university means that they will have to work harder to impress me that they would be a good employee. It counts as a strike against them-not something in their favor.

Read about the Depression of 1920. The government didn’t get involved and it was over in a year.

Actually the great depression ended when FDR’s “cures” were repealed.
Especially when John Kennedy’s tax cuts took effect.
