Drama queen.

People fail to grasp one very simple concept about the freedom of speech. Freedom to speak does not mean anyone has to listen to you. If I refuse to pay money or even show up to hear you, I am not infringing on your freedom of speech, I am exercising my right not to hear you.

He's trying to look native American. Which he's not.


Wow...He sure is a piece of work.

Native American leaders have challenged him, and he's unable to prove his supposed Cherokee heritage. He has subsequently been denounced by native Americans.

Got link?

Note they did not cancel this speaker because he is a jacka$$. Academia is immune to common sense.

I believe an American Fatwa has been issued on Churchill. I suspect this will be his normal routine from now on.

He's scheduled to speak at Eastern Washington University in Cheney, WA, in April. I e-mailed the school asked if they were reconsidering the invitation. We'll see what kind of response that I get.

It's good to see the college call off the appearance. I don't believe threats are a wise way to protest, but what's done is done.

men and women have different characteristics?

This is true. She can bitch and moan all she wants...but we are different. I'm all for womens rights, have been my whole adult life.

I part company with NOW, they are female jihadist in my book. They only speak for the leftist women, not women like me.

Yikes.
And he wanted to wear a flak jacket and have two bodyguards?
Did he also hire someone to fire blanks at him?
I wouldn't put it past the guy considering his views as they sit.

Meanwhile, Marquette University (Milwaukee, WI) officials confiscate materials at a Support the Troops table set up by the campus Young Republicans. Details can be found at http://www.620wtmj.com/620programs/charliesykes/ Left-wing academia is another front in the social war. And there's no time like the present to engage the enemy.

This guy isn't even a PHD which is usually the case with department chairs. I work at a college, (29 yeaqrs) and there isn't any of the department chairs who don't hold at least one doctorate. I suspect that there may be a whole lot more under this guys rock. He's through in academia.

I don't have a link, but I will paraphrase what I've read and tell you the names of some of the people who have denounced him :
Susan Harjo, President of the Morningstar Institute, has called him a liar. She said in 15yrs of interviews and investigations, he hasn't been able to come up with a single Indian ancestor.
And Vernon Bellecourt, an American Indian Movement activist in Minneapolis, calls him a fraud.
Churchill claims to be a member of the Keetoowah Cherokee, but that tribe has issued "associate membership" cards in the past, and even designated Clinton as a member.

Amazing. At WFU a lowly itinerant Associate Professor let alone a Department Chair can't teach without a PhD.

B.S. (bullsh*t)
M.S. (more sh*t)
PhD (Piled-high-and-deep)
