Richard Busacca, Ph. D. Chair of Social Science Dept., SFSU
Some radicals like Professor Busacca think that by taking the opposite side of an argument with the person they are speaking to (soon to be arguing with), they are demonstrating their vast sophistication and intelligence. He never fails to expound on what you say (he also likes to hear himself talk), and by doing so he sticks in views you had not even mentioned. For example, I told the class that I wanted to do my paper on how the media covers up hate crimes committed by blacks and hypes those committed by whites on blacks. Then of course, Big Mouth has to take over and totally change what I said. I had presented the topic that the media is anti-Christian and anti-conservative, but he starts out by saying how liberals pass these laws and then it comes back to get them when they are charged with hate crimes (!)
I say can anyone tell me where a liberal was charged with a hate crime? Read my complaint letter about Busacca and the way he treated me in his office. The man has a problem; he tries to get people to change their paper topic to suit his agenda, and then he insults you and scoffs at your ideas (all the while not letting you speak). Big Mouth Busacca.
| Dominates over black people | |
| Heck, the guy improperly dominates every conversation, but I have noticed that he is very committed to controlling black people. One example from class where he treated a black woman rudely was when he blurted out that the statistics that person had just mentioned from a journal article were incorrect. Who is he to claim to be the expert on a study published in a scholarly paper. She was presenting her findings from articles on her subject. If he would have done that to me, I would have said, "Right, like I would believe you; no thanks, I have my good source right here. If you want to prove it wrong, be my guest and try." Busacca is obsessed with discussing the lifestyle or problems of blacks: He has went on about Afro-Cuban music, hip-hop music, public housing, Castros involvement in Angola, and how uncomfortable he was hearing his lawyer talk about blacks in an unfavorable light. Right, the man who openly puts down people (Professor Kennedy or people in our class) is prudish in the mix of diverse opinions - WRONG, he is a control freak.. I believe he wants to 'manage' blacks as much as he possibly can; that tells you what his opinion of blacks is. Yes, it was proper to say to the lawyer to please don't talk about my tenant that way; the reality is, he can't defend himself when dealing with a stronger personality. The reality is, a far left extremist like him is not used to people telling him their contrary opinions. Another important factor in that episode was money; Busacca was depending on his cheap lawyer to get his tenant evicted. What an asshole to even bring up his little stories all the time. | |
| Obsessed with politics | |
| He tells us about how he is steamed at the Bush administration in telling CNN not to tell about our war maneuvers, pro-abortion matters and Sweden's domestic policies that allow mothers to have their children in childcare, how Bush didn't want the U.S. to go to the "racism conference" in Africa. He is trying to get people to think he is on the side of blacks, but I firmly believe radical lefties try very hard to keep people of color in a new form of slavery, i.e. count on the Democrat party to get you your government payments, affirmative action, and civil rights. Being a strong Republican, I maintain that the GOP is the party of equality. The Republican North freed the slaves and more Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Dems don't want you to consider those important facts, of course. He has dumbed down the curriculum and adopted a forceful, pro-left indoctrination agenda. Just what it takes to produce low wage, blind-to-reality, immoral workers who will follow the Democrat party to victory! How original! |

| Does not meet curriculum standards | |
| He once in a while has actually taught, albeit his style would be more suited to a class of deviant prisoners or mentally retarded people. He plays guessing games with the class. For example, he spent way too much time demonstrating how to form a theory. In fact that is the main thing he has covered so far. We have spent lots of time guessing the answers he was looking for on topics such as why people cluster in hallways, why gay men may engage in risky sex, when marriages are likely to break up, and the causes and results of homelessness. He didn't present any sources for his information, and in fact, I find it disgraceful to let the liberals in my class believe that a free market economy is a principle factor for homelessness. That is just another example of a nutty professor hyping up liberal lies. The dizziest girl in the class blurted out immediately the answer to the cause of homelessness - no price controls. Right away Busacca writes that on the board and goes with it. What an asshole. Most of our class time is playing guessing games for his little theories and presenting articles students find. Each student has to present nine articles over the semester. This was the class I most looked forward to this semester, but on the first day, I realized this Busacca was a dysfunctional teacher. I would like to learn about how to do and interpret research studies, but am being cheated by this fat-cat, government worker who dishes out propaganda every day. I am not prepared to read research studies and interpret the complex charts and statistics they use. Our text book covers simple, political studies, but what am I to do when I open a scholarly journal or book that is much more complex than his course book, which is basically an introduction book. | |
| Is not qualified to be the chair of the Social Science Dept. | |
| He has a Ph. D. in political science as I understand. There is a political science program at SFSU in the College of Political Science, so why is he qualified to chair the social science program? I have yet to hear that one. He has a dirty mouth and mind. His favorite curse word for his classroom performances is 'motherfucker'. On the first or second day of class he told us about a student's paper that dealt with a pro-child sex agenda. He didn't just mention it, he described the argument and then he has brought up that paper on other days in class. The man is a total radical who insults my sensitive nature. He tells us stories from his personal life - his trouble with past tenants (he is a landlord, don't you know), his sit-ins at Berkeley in the '60s, and how he had to adapt to changing sex roles in the era of his youth. | |
I have heard of a black person getting prosecuted for a hate crime. But nothing in the media, like they do when it's politically correct.
redundency :)
In the softer disciplines, it might not be so simple, since each generation struggles to reproduce its ideas in the one to come -- and seldom lets the process be impeded by facts. Indeed, the Left is now armed with a new weapon: the idea that there are no facts, that reality is a "social construction," which could easily be made into whatever they like, if enough people believed the right things.
And on that note, I believe I will pull the covers over my head and hope to awaken in a better time.

You are soooooo right. I have seen first hand how outspoken phd candidates are punished. After one "mis-statement", they languish in the program for years, slaving away doing the professor's research, not being credited in publications that steal their research ideas, their dissertations constantly criticized. Finally, they pass the time limit and are forced out of the program. I have seen more than one life ruined this way.
If x = thousands of dead Afghani civilians, and f(x) = Tomahawk missle, and y = millions of $ spent by evil Republicans, and a = one grandchild...
I'm in total agreement with you! Your timing is a little off as the current 30 to 40 something group of professors are full blown Neo Nazis. They believe that only with Federal and state socialism (ie Nazi) can anything be done in this country! The past 8 years under X42 and his Nazi Lesbo Jake Reno are proof of this!
Just look at the hullaboo re making the new Airport Security people workers Federal Workers and of course Federal Union members. Even the socialists in Europe abandonen these programs of nationalizing their Airport security programs as they could not fire the bad people. All of this socialism comes from the evil left wing think tanks manned by socialists and the Neo Nazis!
National Health insurance, national free drugs for the elderly, national educational programs for our schools are just a couple of prime new National Socialist Programs that these left wing think tanks manned by National Socialist Professors have come up with.
All of these new Nazi Programs come from the Neo Nazi Professors in our liberal universities who preach that nothing can be done unless we raise taxes and turn all problems over to the National Socialists (New Nazis).
Gray Davis has stepped beyond the New Nazis, he is now a neo Facist who wants to control every business in California from the power companies to those who use electricity! He is no different than Mussolini, and he is the most dangerous demonicRat in power in America.
We have seen worthless young men the ages of our sons get degrees that are worthless, then get jobs as graduate students to get their masters in that worthless degree, then become asst. professors while working on their PhD's in that worthless degree. Now as mid 30 somethings, they are professors spreading the National Socialism stuff to their students and hand picking their graduate student helpers and future phd asst. professors! I can guarantee you that zero conservatives are in these future Professor OJT programs. Each generation is even more liberal, more Nazi and becoming more of a facist like Davis!
This has been going on since 1932 across America and in the NE since WWI! We have tolerated it, ignored them and paid for their treason with our tax $'s, tuition $'s for our children and donations as alumni to these left wing viper nests!
As for Phd programs and the future of our institutions, I am heartened by what I see as a more moderate to conservative bent among the candidates. While I admit, I attend one of the more conservative schools, Mississippi State, I would say that 80% of the graduate students in our history department are conservative. I think this is largely due to the fact that MSU is more of an A&M institution rather than liberal arts. Regards, Flying E
Since dueling was a high risk business, people like your professor there sought to avoid insults and behavior that would precipitate a duel - particularly with a much younger man.
Next time you need to pick a topic, look into the history of dueling in America. Point out how the elimination of this practice has resulted in the coarsening of behavior, particularly among the educated classes.
I'm in a science department at my university. You wouldn't think there'd be much political agitation surrounding quantum physics or materials science, but there is. Everyone in the department is very liberal. I don't even want to go into the happenings that took place there during the 2000 election crisis.
Science faculty, moreover, have great power in universities. They get the lucrative governmental research grants and bring in millions of dollars to the university each year. A student complaint filed against them is an exercise in futility.
Thankfully, I am staff here, and not a student. My undergraduate major is history, however, so I too am heartened to learn of the conservative leanings at Mississippi State. Maybe I'll transfer there to finish my 15-year program. ;)
See, my conservative logic says:
x(4 American planes used as weapons of mass destruction) +
y(thousands of radicals who despise America) =
z(bomb,bomb,bomb, buy more bombs, bomb,bomb,bomb, buy more bombs....).
Guess that's why I'm taking Algebra at this late age, my logic has never added up to theirs....go figure....
