Member of Marines not 'sort of person UW wanted to produce'

The University of Washington's student senate rejected a memorial for alumnus Gregory "Pappy" Boyington of "Black Sheep Squadron" fame amid concerns a military hero who shot down enemy planes was not the right kind of person to represent the school.

Student senator Jill Edwards, according to minutes of the student government's meeting last week, said she "didn't believe a member of the Marine Corps was an example of the sort of person UW wanted to produce."

The little puke that said:

"(I) didn't believe a member of the Marine Corps was an example of the sort of person UW wanted to produce..."

...owes her liberties and her freedom to the brave men and women of the United States Military. She is beyond contempt for making such a statement.

God bless the male student population at UW if she was Miss April. Man. That is just sad.

You have to expect this from the Commie wannabes, drug addicts, homosexuals, cross dressers and pedophiles at UW. These maggots are so braindead that they don't even have a clue who Boyington is.

Say, Student Senator Jill, did you bother to ask the student body -- whom you supposedly represent in that democratic organization -- what they think about the memorial...or is this your fiat, thrust upon them from your dictatorial throne?

Yep, put it to a student vote, you chirping little bird.

Whatever happened to your slogan: "I WANT MY DEMOCRACY NOW!!!"

Oh, you should see how the student senate is made up at UW. It has nothing to do with representation of the students. It is based on assigning seats based on 'diversity' brackets. Basically the student senate is a useless body and it has been disbanded before. Its only real power is to insult Medal of Honor awardees.

I'm impressed. It normally takes a whole committee of Ivy-League PhD's to bescumber us with something this profoundly asinine. She has managed to do it all by her precious little self.

Someone should ask those students if they speak Japanese. After they reply 'no', tell them to thank Boyington.

Outrage.

And by that, I mean 90 pt. bold type OUTRAGE. And by that, I mean these college pukes don't deserve their education. They don't deserve their freedoms. They don't deserve their pampered, spoiled, safe and peaceful lives. They deserve the kind of existence that can only be found in a third-world, dictatorial regime - like Iraq under Saddam - where people were lowered feet-first into plastic shredders for the amusement of sadists.

If Jill Edwards has parents, they should be ashamed of the very lousy job they did raising their idiot daughter.

The very fact that they have the freedom to insult Col. Boyington in such an arrogant manner is tacit testimony to the success of his actions.

Well put.

Wow, you weren't kidding. There is even a seat on the Senate set aside for "Voices for Planned Parenthood".

I had the honor of meeting Col. Boyington at Fullerton Airport where he was autographing books.

Jill Edwards must be related to Blake Edwards of Pink Panther fame...

amid concerns a military hero who shot down enemy planes was not the right kind of person to represent the school.

They are probably right. A more apt hero at this school would be Pvt Eddie Slovik.

"Now, this is the kind of peace-loving 'man' we need to produce more of!"

Tyrants across the globe are undoubtedly laughing at how they have transformed a nation of Free riflemen into a nation of selfish weaklings. All without firing a shot.

That's the bad news.

The good news is there are still enough riflemen left here to ruin the day of any would-be tyrant.
