Fight and die for Exxon and other corporations
Blog friend GM pointed out this article, which got my BLOOD boiling right out of the hot pot. These communist loving, crack headed, crazy asses are creating and educating the next generation of liberal pansy handed wusses.
A community college in northwestern New Jersey is investigating a part-time instructor who vowed to intimidate students who host conservative speakers at the school. The teacher also called for U.S. soldiers in Iraq to kill their superiors.
At issue is a personal e-mail written by John Daly, adjunct instructor in writing and developmental English at Warren County Community College in Washington, N.J. He sent it to a student after she asked him and other faculty members to announce that a veteran of the war in Iraq would appear at the school.
But, there are some who are aware of the reality of the world, and who speak up against these liberal lubby dubs…
The student who made the request, freshman Rebecca Beach, is a member of Young America’s Foundation, which describes itself as the principal campus outreach group for the conservative movement. The foundation sponsored the appearance by Army Lt. Col. Scott Rutter, a Medal of Honor recipient, at the college Thursday night.
Miss Beach said she was “very shocked” at the message she received from Mr. Daly. He told her he would ask students and others to boycott the event. He also charged that signs her group had posted about Col. Rutter’s appearance “looked like fascist propaganda.”
Mr. Daly also charged that “capitalism has killed many more people” than communism and that the “poor and working-class people” are recruited to “fight and die for Exxon and other corporations.”
“I will continue to expose your right-wing, anti-people politics until groups like yours won’t dare show their face on college campuses,” Mr. Daly wrote.
He added: “Real freedom will come when [U.S.] soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors.”
Miss Beach said she was appalled by the e-mail.
Wow..is this guy friends with Ward Churchill or what?? I want him expelled from teaching, ever again, period.
Not only is this ant American, this borders on criminal threatening. Mr. Daly (like he even deserves the title MR. before his name…) is a perfect example of the radical left in this country. And he speaks for many who pretend to be more centrist. This should be investigated by more than just the school.

Republicans Calling a Decorated War Hero a Coward Devalue the Heroism of our Soldiers Currently Serving in Iraq
Even in the Orwellian world of American politics the events of recent weeks have been surreal. But despite all the arguing going on among our political leaders one thing has been constant, that is the overwhelming support for our troops in the field. Regardless of ones political affiliation or view on the conduct of the operation in Iraq, it is clear that all Americans support the troops, and all grieve equally when they are injured or die.
It is clear to anybody who is paying the least bit of attention that the war in Iraq is not going well. Thus far 2094 American soldiers have died and more than 15,000 have been left permanently disabled. The war has thus far cost the average American family over $3000 and costs each family an additional $100 per week. The sole measure of success on the part of the wars supporters is that if we left now the country of Iraq would implode. Americans have rightly come to question whether this is an appropriate measure of success for a war that has cost us all so dearly.
But as the Bush Administration grows increasingly desperate they have come to adopt a strategy of questioning the patriotism of those with whom they disagree. It should be noted that 63% of Americans believe that the war is not going well, and that 57% of Americans believe that the Bush Administration misused pre-war intelligence to justify their preconceived plans of going to war. But Bush and Cheney are undeterred, grimly describing those who don’t agree with their policies as “deeply irresponsible, reprehensible and dishonest.”
Recently the Bush war marketing campaign has taken a further turn, suggesting that those who question the Administration conduct of the war undermine our soldiers in the field, that those who disagree with Bush don’t support the soldiers. Only19% of Americans support Cheney, 34% support Bush and only 40% of Americans still believe that Bush is honest. Those numbers seem to be sinking by the day as Americans are increasingly disgusted and appalled by an Administration and a Republican Congress that judges whether citizens support their own soldiers on the basis of who agrees or disagrees with the Administration war policy.
There is no doubt that we ask a great deal of our soldiers in the field, this has been the case throughout the history of our country. We have seen so many times that ordinary men are asked to perform extraordinary duties; those that go above and beyond are considered heroes and recognized by their country for their valor. Just over a week ago our country paused to reflect and remember, and to honor those who served our country in war. Veterans proudly displayed their medals, tokens of appreciation from a grateful country for their acts of bravery. Today in Iraq we have men and women performing those same duties on our behalf; some will be similarly honored.
But what message does it send to our soldiers in the field in Iraq, soldiers whom we are asking to perform extraordinary acts of bravery on our behalf, when their Commander in Chief questions the bravery and patriotism of a soldier who earned 2 purple hearts? When the Vice President (himself a recipient of 5 deferments) suggests that a much-decorated veteran who happens to disagree with him “lacks backbone?” When a Republican member of Congress suggests that that same decorated war veteran is a coward? Does it devalue the service of our soldiers in the field when they see that the Administration can so easily dismiss a war hero as a coward simply because he disagrees with them? Why should they be as committed to duty, honor and bravery as John Murtha was when they see that the Administration would piss on Murtha and his medals for their political purposes? Would the Administration do the same to them?
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, just when you thought you had seen the worst of American politics, we’re treated to the spectacle of cowards like Cheney calling heroes like Murtha a coward. Orwell lives, but the last shred of decency on the part of the Bush Administration has long since passed. The Bushtanic is sinking, but as it was when Nixon went down the mood is not celebratory, it’s far more like mourning; mourning for our country, for all of us…for we brought it upon ourselves when we elected the incompetent bastard.
Phil, there is a vast difference between heroism in Vietnam and stupidity today. I don’t expect you to understand the difference, but that you can’t see the difference says a lot. As far as this war against an implacable foe, Murtha does indeed lack backbone to stay the course. If we pulled out now, be at least honest and acknowledge the bloodbath that would insue if the islamofascists get the upper hand.
Pitiful phil, just pitiful.
Phil undoubtly has been watching too much MSM which does not report on the reconstruction of Iraq, but are real good at only reporting bad news. As far as that individual named Murtha he just proved that idiots can be heros. Just like our cowardly John Kerry who did not have a clue as how the war was going in Vietnam because he returned to the US in a very cowardly way.
Phil seems to be making the rounds…I saw that same comment (verbatim) in an unrelated post on another blog. Just another hit and run troll who can’t get his facts straight. The VP never called Murtha a coward, neither did the freshman congresswoman from Ohio (who beat their fair-haired boy in the election.) It was a colonel who was a constituent of said congresswoman who was reminding Murtha of what a coward does as opposed to a Marine

HERNDON, VA –Young America’s Foundation exposed Warren Community College’s radical Professor John Daly, who in an email to student Rebecca Beach, vowed to intimidate those students who host conservative speakers and called for American soldiers in Iraq to murder their superiors. Instead of admonishing the professor’s intemperate attack on a student’s right of free expression, Warren Community College President William Austin said Prof. John Daly has “first amendment rights” to harass Rebecca. Furthermore, the President is trying to bully Rebecca into silence. He said Rebecca, not Prof. John Daly, is ruining the college’s name by going on talk radio and television exposing Daly’s mean spirited email. In an interview with the Express-Times, a local New Jersey paper, Daly stood by his email to Rebecca. He told the paper that Rebecca’s conservative group is an “ultra right-wing, possibly fascist, group.” Daly’s email to Rebecca came after she sent a note to faculty announcing the appearance of decorated war hero Lt. Col. Scott Rutter to discuss America’s accomplishments in Iraq. Daly’s unedited email can be read in full below. “Prof. John Daly knowingly intimidated one of his students. That’s not protected by the First Amendment,” said Jason Mattera, spokesman for Young America’s Foundation. “It was poor judgment to hire Daly to begin with. Warren Community College compounds their ineptitude by defending Daly’s harassment of Rebecca.” [...]
