I see the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee is serving fruitcake this morning. It seems to have a surplus of nuts. What flavor Kool-Aid to wash it down?
Why has nobody, up to this point, stated the obvious (that everything this moron claims about republicans and walker is exactly how the dems and unionistas acted)?
If ever there was a clear case of projection, this article is it. The article could be used as the gold standard for the definition of the term! Of course one would have to remain objective about the situation and not be blind to reality (I think that discounts most libs right out of the chute).
Oddly, the people of WI will yet be the last to learn that Joe McCarthy was right. Ann Coulter has already told them so; so has the liberal academic Edward Herman. But Bill Clinton was chiding his friend GHWB by telling him how nice it was that “Prescott Bush stood up to Joe McCarthy.”
What has facial hair got to do with bad ideas? Who one hangs out with, what one reads, who one follows is an indicator of one’s commie stance; not a beard.
A lot of times the facial hair is a communication, like a uniform.
Just wondering...that was all.
I do hear you Darkwolf377.
The left uses “diversity” to camouflage their agenda.
Under the color, gender, religion, race, age, income bracket, nationality, sexual orientation, handicap, you name it “minority” identification marker, there is NO diversity, there is only communism.
Well my husband of 32 years has been wearing a beard since he got out of the AF and he’s about as far from a commie as one can get. My social circle is made up of educated, conservative people and many of the men wear beards.
This arguement is like saying because one wears red one is a communist. Lenin wore ‘chin pubes’, not a full beard. Stalin wore his famous moustache, Trotsky wore ‘chin pubes’, the communist leaders from Beria to Gorbechev have been clean shaven.
If having a beard is a communication of commie leanings, my church is in trouble. /s
See my post #50.
I know you are right Vor Lady but the fact is Liberal academics DO wear beards to be noticed as intellectual elites with a smug lefty bent.
You have posted the truth that lays bare the stupidity of the “professor’s” diatribe.
Yes. I do believe Joe will have the last laugh on these communists.
What!!?? You doubt that the professor is not, as he describes himself, a "political independent"? Just because he compares Walker to Joe McCarthy is no reason to doubt the veracity of Cronon's statements. Sounds like a totally fair and balanced academic like all academics at the UW who teach environmental studies. (smirk)
Agreed, it seems to be their way of proving they have testosterone and gravitas.
I get rankled when folks--primarily men folks--on FR make blanket statements about some ones' looks: i.e. Hilary's ankles; any female not a blond, blue-eyed, busty size 0 as being 'guilty'; ears that stick out; beards being commie; etc. It is their ideas that we should be paying attention to, not their external appearance.
And get a state pension.....
This professor’s diatribe is doubly libelous. The Wisconsin Governor IS no Joe McCarthy. And Joe McCarthy in no way resembles the ogre the Left portrays him as. Indeed, McCarthy was a great American. Anyone who wants the truth should read the excellent book, “Blacklisted by History”, by M. Stanton Evans.
Rush relayed an Eleanor Roosevelt (of all people) quote to his radio show audience last week.
“Great minds talk about ideas. Average minds talk about events. Poor minds talk about people.”
I think, being human, we do all the above. Hopefully, we speak less about individual characteristics, more about personal motives, while always striving to be engaged in order to understand the big picture.
They always let you know who they fear.
Alinsky rule #13: identify, isolate, freeze and escalate.
They will go on a search and destroy mission to eliminate their enemy.
