How long till Obama and ACORN start to fund these “community organizers”?

By The Rep. on 02.24.09 5:16 pm

That was painful. These “officers” need to re-evaluate exactly what they want to do for a carreer. They were playing to the camera and took absolutley no stock of the risks posed by these students as they milled about in and amongst the officers. They allowed students to lay hands on the officers while they dealt with that stupid out of control female.

Just like the libs want to handle enemies of our nation, these feel good university types wanted to reason with stupid people. If you wrestle with a pig, everyone gets muddy and the pig likes it.

If it is a problem, deal with it. If you don’t have the balls or the means to deal with it then live with it. hey only empowered these spoiled children and not only ensured that it will happen again at NYU, but elsewhere. I’m quite sure that NONE of these students know what true brutality and violence are. Let’s all hope that they never do. Until then, maybe the parents should take them to the shed and the university should evaluate their financial need for that grant money. If they don’t have to go to class, they obviously don’t need the student aid now do they?

Happy belated birthday, Terry!

Haven’t watched the video yet but heard some of the audio on the show last night. Dude sounded like the typical sniveling little wuss that I’d expect to hold one of these “protests.” When confronted with even just a small modicum of force, the guy turned into a 3 year-old little girl.

I just hope – when the you-know-what hits the fan – that those of us on the Right side can put up more of a fight than this pansy.

By Ty on 02.25.09 11:23 am

I think it’s hitting the fan and I’m interested to see who even notices anymore. Even though it’s hitting the fan and spraying all over the place, most people are just in the grandstands as spectators anymore. Our inaction is still a concious decision and therefore a course of action. It’s just the wrong one.

In a fair and just world, these punks would have it pointed out to them that NYU is supported by corporations and those of the corporate world through donations. They want that university to go in a direction and although most of us allow differing opinions and dissent, you must work within the franmework. Those students chose not to and after a level of patience has been passed, they chould have been arrested for criminal trespassing, blocking a fire exit, failure to obey a lawful order and for those that touched the officers, assault or resisting arrest. Clear it out and let them be a martyr for their cause but let the rest of the student body try to recover THEIR tuition costs by gettig an education.

That was bullcrap and I was embarrassed as an American to watch it.

Why do we never hear of such protests at schools like Bob Jones University, Regent University, and Liberty University?

By SemiPundit on 02.27.09 9:12 am

What are you fishing for, Semi? That they don’t hate Jews like the public universities? Anti-semitism is alive and well—the whole diversity line at our institutions of higher learning is a myth.

But I doubt that’s what you meant.

By Terry on 02.27.09 2:10 pm

Semi, I give. Why DO we never hear about protests like this on those universities? Maybe it’s because those universities don’t adhere to a philosophy of liberal fascism? Maybe their students work within the law and rules? Maybe more of those students realize the PRIVILEGE instead of regarding it as a right or entitlement? I don’t know. You tell us why.

By BCB on 02.27.09 6:24 pm

Terry, you are correct, that is not what I was getting at. My question is pointed at how well behaved those students seem to be, never stirring the waters, so to speak.

BCB, should students never protest on campuses of any kind, setting aside occupying buildings, which I disapprove of? What is the threshold for such action?

By SemiPundit on 02.28.09 2:13 pm

Semi, I support demonstration and protest. I reserve the right for myself also. But I must point out the differences between some of the recent “TEA” parties and these stupid students. These students somehow seem to think that they have “right” to take over a cafeteria. They have the “right” to deny use of that cafeteria to other students and faculty that wish to use it in a legal and lawful manner. These students seems to think that they have a “right” to NOT be removed from the area and claim violence and brutality by anyone that raises their voice against them. If that had been a legit protest by the students fo NYU, that would be one thing. How many of those “students” were in fact students of NYU? We apparently know that the camera operator trying to rally the “troops” wasn’t even a student!

Let’s face it many of those in this protest were just looking to bitch and whine about soemthing and at least one traveled from PA to do it and try to make a point. Consensus? Do you think that he needed a consensus to go to the latrine? Wipe his nose? If you want to stand up against establishment, don’t work so hard to establish consensnus and establish your own new establishment. Didn’t the WHO sing: “meet the new boss, same as the old boss”? That’s all they wanted to do was be the new bosses and not bring about lasting or even valuable change. They wer college students with a bug up their butt, longing for the 60’s and their chance at free love, dope and protest for the sake of protest. How stupid is that?

People laugh at the protesters of the 1960s, but they were instrumental in pulling the plug on the travesty of Vietnam. In the end, Vietnam discovered capitalism and thanks to a prolonged war, there is hardly anyone there now who has any memory of that conflict.

Last night, Greg Gutfeld, who fancies himself as a bad-boy rebel type, but is in reality a country-club pantywaist, featured the campus protest on his show, Redeye. One of his guests remarked that the students might have had a more successful protest if a couple of them had been killed. Would it be too presumtuous of me to think he had in mind the Kent State massacre?

By SemiPundit on 03.02.09 10:16 am

With the liberal media what it is, they could have gotten real coverage if they had managed to come together and show that they had more 20 brain cells between them. Who knows? If they had played it right, they might have even sent tingles up people’s legs! But instead, they protested like the idiots without real goals that they are. What was their little protest even about? They wanted bailout money for better food for the lab rats? What was it about. Poor marketing on their part. Obama PROVED that you don’t have to have any sort of message, only pretty words and soft fuzzy thoughts that make people feel better.

I think most people agree that Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground were wrong to employ violence as they did. As far as I know, casualties were limited to some of his colleagues, including his girlfriend, who died when a bomb they were putting together went off, and four people killed in an armored car robbery by two other of his colleagues. They are serving life sentences, while Ayers and his wife have brought up their child, in addition to their own children.

The question is: at what point is it justifiable and even required to employ violence against the American government? Never, perhaps?

By SemiPundit on 03.02.09 1:21 pm

They did lose some of their numbers to errors in the manufacture of bombs. But their casualties were not limited to their own members. Whether or not the Molotov cocktails thrown at the occupied home of New York State Supreme Court Justice Murtagh were from Ayers group or just inspired by them, there is blame to lie at their feet. Let’s remember that great quote by Ayers: “Kill all the rich people, break up their cars and apartments, bring the revolution home… that’s where it’s really at.” Robbery and murder? How quick are the Dems to condemn these pieces of garbage and those who associate with them? Would ANYONE be as tolerant of these associations if there was an “R” next to a candidates name? Then that same level of forgotten violence would be intolerable. Those “Days of Rage” in Chicago did, in fact, leave injuries behind.

I believe that there is a time that violence might be justified against our government. I believe that this violence will be in response to the victimization of Americans and not some percieved injustice against communists during their oppression of free people elsewhere on the globe. Ayers, and the trash he hung out with, were working against our government, victimizing Americans for the weakening of this nation. That much is plain and simple. Their idea was that urban guerillas would bring about a second, and true, revolution that would be world wide.

Now some of these violent idiots have expressed remorse and Ayers at times has been one of them. But when I think back to another fairly famous and revealing quote of Ayers, “Guilty as hell. Free as a bird. America is a great country.” I truly feel that no liberal would ever resort to violence and will always work within the system. HAHAHAHAHA Let’s remember who Ayers supported and who Obama wouldn’t condemn.

Let’s compare those actions and their motivation to those poor landowners that are being victimized by illegal aliens on the border. Let’s look at the oppressive taxation and the long-term debt being placed upon our children and us. Let’s look at the talk of the loss of gun rights. Let’s look at the loss of our freedom of speech through the McCain-Feingold Bill and the proposed Fairness Doctrine. Let’s look at our current and runaway government taking away a parent’s right, privilege and responsibility to raise their child. THOSE are issues to fight against, not always with violence, but let’s just remember how those IRS agents will come to YOUR door to “liberate” YOUR possessions if you don’t pay your tax bill, or (if you prefer) your voluntary and patriotic donations (if you believe Biden and Reid) to the altar of the almighty and powerful Obama.

Right is right and wrong is wrong. Party affiliations are NEVER an excuse.

Semi, last year one of the fringe national gay rights group protested at Union and Freed Hardeman Universities in west Tennessee. There wasnt any violence even though thats what the gay rights people were hoping for. There was also a protest at Freed Hardeman after “shotgun” Mary Winkler murdered her husband. They wanted a plaque in one of the buildings removed that her father bought in her name.
