Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


But, in all seriousness, if I find out that Pino is a victim of a conspiracy I will be the first to print a retraction. You will find it right next to the ones citing evidence that the moon landing was faked and that professional wrestling is real.

And speaking of Israel there is new information about Pino’s support of suicide bombers who like to blow up Jews. Please turn your attention to point number three.

3. There is no evidence that Julio Pino has been indoctrinating students into his pro-Jihadist ideology.

Julio Pino’s efforts to convert students to a radical and violent form of Islam can be linked to a 2002 article he wrote praising a suicide bomber. It was published, by the way, in the Kent State student newspaper. Since that article was republished on the “Global War” blog, Kent State should have known that he was “linked” to the pro-Jihadist site.

But at least they could say that he was not abusing students in class with his ideological ranting. They cannot say that anymore.

A brave ROTC student who was enrolled in Pino’s class has now stated on television that Pino publicly mocked the student for wearing his military uniform to class. More serious accusations have been made on the internet by former students. These students should all come forward and make public statements as well.

I know this column might seem a little harsh on Julio Pino – the man who has succeeded in taking the heat off Colorado’s Ward Churchill. But at least I didn’t use any tasteless epithets in my reporting. If I called him a camel jockey, they might put me in rehab with Ann Coulter.

Author’s Note: For the record, Dr. Adams has no objection to being placed in rehab with Ann Coulter. It beats the hell out of sharing a bunk with John Edwards.

Gotta Love Misinformation . . .
. . . and ignorance. But, a little "thanks" to Tod for starting to set the May 4th record straight. There was no way that the students could be either "in the NG's faces" or "a mile away" in the location where the shooting occurred. In fact, the NG held the high ground on a small ridge in a bottlenecked area through which virtually every student on campus passed on their way from classes to their dorms. And a class period had just let out when the shooting occurred (flooding the area with a few hundred students).

Now, to the misinformation: Pirate, I've got to ask where your information about campuses is coming from. I've been a student and faculty member on five different college campuses in the last twelve years and the only conservative demonstrations I've seen are those put on by outside groups, all of which have been soundly denounced by the student body (including on case where a few score students lured a cult leader off the public sidewalk onto the private property grass so security could throw him off campus).

As to the "rampant indoctrination" supposedly perpetrated by faculty . . . try actually going to a college campus and attending a class. Over 95% of faculty members are too busy trying to cover necessary material and get halfway decent writing (mechanical level) out of their students. Oh, and I must have missed "Liberal Indoctrination 101" in grad school. Also, if teh administration and faculty are so out of line with student desires, please explain why so many non-required classes are filled beyond capacity. If students disagreed with them, or didn't want them, they wouldn't sign up, then the class would be canceled, and ultimately would not be offered again. Final note, if you think collegiate teaching isn't "real work," try it sometime.

professors' misuse of position
Too little is said about professors' using their positions not to teach but to harangue and propagandize in front of their classes. Parents paying many tens of thousands of dollars a year, particularly in private colleges and universities, should more wisely investigate the classroom activities of their children's professors. The entire idea of the university as a place to exchange ideas in an open forum has been corrupted into leftist indoctrination and demanded under some strange perversion of freedom for academia. Like the so-called candidates for the presidency who are afraid of Fox News acting as a debate moderator, most larger university professors are rabidly afraid of students' (or anyone else on campus) voicing anything except a scripted party line of anti-conservatism, anti-Bush administration, anti-Western values, anti-Iraq war (or maybe any other military engagement except possibly in Darfur--pre-approved by celebities--or our on-going invovlement in Serbia-Bosnia, the Balkans, which somehow slips under the radar), and anti-independent thinking. They hate virtually everything about traditional America and probably would be much happier in some dictatorship that supported their loathing of the US, probably Cuba would work or maybe Venezuela under Chavez. But they would never leave because they are cowardly and do not have the courage of their convictions, or any courage at all, except negative and vile expressions. When anyone objects, they have almost no ability to justify themselves except in name-calling and pseudo-victimization. Support for my observations is that "liberal" or leftist ideals are not showing up in campus interest and student activities. Voter registrations and demonstrations are being "hired out" to ACORN, ANSWER, and other outside-campus groups. The largest and fastest growing real student organizations are conservative publications and clubs. The '60s-'70s "radicals" who never left the protection of colleges and universities are anachronisms themselves, most approaching retirement, and their replacements showing up as "globalists" and "jihadists" don't have real support in any way among the student populations.
