The legacy of 'W'?

I knew from reading your posts that you were either a college professor or a college student. You are very preachy, condescending, self-righteous, melodramatic, and have NO sense of nuance. It is obvious you get extremely emotional when talking politics and that affects your objectivity and sense of proportionality. It came as no surprise to learn that you are an english professor. Sometimes your posts read like propoganda coming out of North Korea (i.e., "The imperialist swine have continued their violent, bloodthirsty march toward a corrupt, capitalist-pig scheme.") Please stop watching the movie "V for Vendetta," listening to Air America, and chilling with fellow professors of similar political persuasions.

I know you think you're fighting the good fight and informing those of us who just need to go through some "re-education camps." But, you're just coming off as that condescending, melodramatic, and self-righteous guy who lives in an ivory tower.

PS - I'm not responding to Crazyhorse's viewpoints (as I share some of his views), but the manner in which he expresses them.

I will try to control my language when someone has supportive things to say about Bush that I think are wrong. You're right, of course. I do think Bushites need a reality check and I'm sorry I get wild about it.

A couple of points: I supported Bush when we went to Afghanistan and initially believed him about Iraq, for which I will forever repent and think myself a moron. Also, I'm not much of a liberal, so don't deserve much praise or scorn on that score. I 'm a fiscal conservative and an opponent of abortion who doesn't believe in centralizing power to any great extent. I also have a true conservative's dislike of unnecessary involvement in foreign wars and an instinctive distrust of anyone in power, Republican or Democrat..
My negative feelings about Bush come more from my conservative-Christian side than my leftist side. I think the right has become so extreme that it is no longer conservative but fascist. Bush is even worse than Kennedy and Johnson in this regard.
Hitler, by the way, was a fascist who had many liberal sensibilities and was in a way Bush's opposite, as well as much more like Kennedy or Johnson. All four were/are lying psychopaths and incompetent to boot.
At any rate, teachers don't live in ivory towers these days. I have an impressive number of real life injuries. The forties and fifties are over.

I think I went to the same college as jsarno and later taught there. What an irony if I was one of his teachers.

What college did you go to? (and teach at?)

The University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Both quarterback Joe Ferguson (later of the Bills) and Bill Clinton were there when I was. I'm not sure whether Clinton was teaching classes or taking them, or both.

Nope...I went to Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas for my freshman and sophomore years. I did travel to Little Rock and Fayetteville to watch the razorbacks play though. Harding got too expensive for me and was too strict on the rules...it's a private Christian college.

You went to a school named after one of our worst Presidents ever? That's kind of funny, especially to find that out in this thread

Or was it not name after Warren G.?

Actually it was named James A. Harding.

My family always got a kick at how racist all of the older relatives were.

My great aunt (who passed away about a year ago) was insane. She would rant on and on about how she hated the Russians, the Chinese, the Hispanics... It was hysterical.

Finally one of us just asked her which she hated the most.

After much deliberation, she concluded it was the Chinese. Why? Because they didn't even talk... They just made noises.

God bless her insane little heart.
