April 1, 2003 -- 'U.S. flags are the emblem of the invading war machine in Iraq today. They are the emblem of the occupying power. The only true heroes are those who find ways that help defeat the U.S. military."

Columbia U Alumni in particular should demand a through house cleaning of the anti-American Left that populates the university. They might start by with holding their endownments and other funding to the institution by letting its administration know reforms are long overdue. And parents and prospective students might want to consider attending other schools as part of an effort to drive the message home. If Columbia is hurt enough in its pocketbook perhaps the outrages of the likes of Nicolas de Genova and Edward Said will one day be histoire.

I did exactly what you suggest, earlier this evening. As a Columbia College alumnus, I received my periodic call from the university, soliciting contributions and politely told the young man that perhaps after they canned de Genova and their new, socialist president and permitted opposing points of view to be expressed on campus, I wouldn't even consider contributing. Hinting that I was not the only one expressing these views, he thanked me and took my advice to call the next name on his list.

These people really are sick, twisted freaks. They are all seriously mentally ill, and they should be locked up where they can't do anyone any harm. Their minds and souls have been devoured by the cancer of sheer hatred of God.

Such sentiments coming from leading lights of the Columbia professorate suggest that De Genova fits very well into his institution.

Many people have noted that De Genova is not tenured and have speculated that his statements will affect his tenure prospects. That's true, they will - at a place like Columbia, his statements will improve his tenure prospects enormously.

Is it just me or does there seem to be an abundance of classes on Arabs? Is there a major in that?
