Why is he controversial? Why are leftists never controversial?

That kind of slant bothers the heck out of me.

God help us all.

We can’t even express condolences upon the passing of a famous graduate of the university???

I guess I shouldn’t be shocked at anything anymorenin this increasingly liberal politicized world........

This says that the Georgetown law school is a nest of rabid leftwingism.

Clearly major law schools have been contaminated by anti-American leftists. Through Gary’s words, you can witness he envisions the laws of the US to be an instrument of his own personal world view. We’ll never survive as each succeeding generation of lawyers believes the law means whatever a judge wants it to mean. These useful idiots may find that moniker actually coming to fruition, if their advocacy is fulfilled.

First of all, we declare war on the Universities that have institutionalized Communist staff. They we do the same thing for MSM outlets that require government licenses.

We demand rough parity in their staff, Democrats and Republicans. We go beyond that, to at least loyalists vs anti-Americans

We’ll see how divided we are after that.

I am all for rational discourse, which usually nets a positive civic result. However, the “dissent” in this case is clearly political, initiated in response to a message of cordiality and sympathy, so my response is ‘hush, you fussy snot’ ...

A major part of Peller's work is denying the very existence of objective knowledge or the value of concepts like rationality, on the grounds that knowledge is just ‘a function of the ability of the powerful to impose their own views.'”

Except for Peller's work ITSELF, of course. THAT is "objective."

It's astonishing such clowns are even employed. They possess the thinking skills of a dried turd.

I agree with your thoughts there.

Someone needs to whisper in the next president’s ear, and get him and Congress to demand near parity for our education systems and the MSM.

If they want government funds, they need to be neutral.

Otherwise no license, and no government funds.

We really are headed for a civil war. Once again, anyone who thought Romney would be as bad as Obama is out of his freaking mind.

Address that statement to the resident posters who continue to blame us who voted for Romney for Obama's election while they either stayed home or voted for someone who wasn't even on the ballot in the majority of the states.........

Those idiots are still around and still posting their "I'll stay home if so and so is not on the ballot" while the real patriots who stood their ground during the Romney supporter purge either left on their own accord or were banned........

FWIW, in an effort to protect OUR party and website from those thread disruptors (remember that term from back in the early days?) and their fellow extremists who promise to stay home, they should be subjected to immediate banning from this site.......

They offer absolutely nothing to the public discourse and only throw gasoline onto an already sensitive political campaign.......

The US is increasingly becoming two distinct cultures, rreconcilable and determined.

The problem is that the full weight of a massively intrusive government that recognizes no restraint on its power over its citizens is clearly and unequivocally on one of those sides.

When was the last time you saw the phrase “left wing extremist” used in the media? Never, because the media is in denial that they are all left wing extremists.

“Gary Peller and Louis Michael Seidman”

When you look up “disgusting pieces of crap” in the dictionary, you’ll find pictures of these two a-holes.

If he were a black anything he would have a parade in his honor, a holiday named after him and his face on a quarter. Indoctrination centers that are enemies of America

Eh...not really. None of those things will happen when Clarence Thomas joins his colleague Scalia.

When you hold the same views as someone else you’re unlikely to consider those views extreme. It is likely that you’ll consider any antithetical views extreme, however.

Might be wise to find another law school to attend.

Saudi prince Al-Waleed gives more millions to the Georgetown middle east studies program than he does to those at Harvard, Yale, or Princeton.

It breeds anti Israel pro muslim agents who go out into the US government, Media and Academia after they leave Georgetown.
