#1 One of the things that makes our country great are the freedoms that our citizens are allowed. But, like many Americans, I am sick of hearing the views of left-wing actors, musicians and college professors. They are intellectually dishonest and morally bankrupt, yet they masquerade in a cloak of moral superiority.

The left used to actually stand for a few decent things, like getting rid of brutal dictators and not supporting totalitarian regimes. Today they stand squarely in support of brutal dictators, in support of torture and mutilation, in support of mass murder because they actively hinder those that would oppose it. They are for "Peace at any cost" even if the result is massive human suffering. As long as its not their suffering, as long as it's not their starving children, as long as it's "Peace for them" .

I loathe these people. Their narcissim, their willingness to look the other way, their hindrance of Americas moral action to depose evil is true evil.

What's encouraging is that ALOT of other Americans appear to loathe them as well. People are bashing the left-wing fringe like I have never seen before and they feel pretty threatened.

I believe we should deport them all to France where they will feel right at home.

#3 He should be shot in the head...

Send him to Baghdad, where they will shoot him in the head.

#4 The National Guard guy's lucky. If it was UMASS- Amherst, they would have captured him and held him as a POW.

#5 There needs to be a showdown with these campus "intellectuals", something that really, really HURTS - like rifle butts in the face. These people have been brainwashed into believing they can do anything they want, without any consequences. One good riot firmly smashed by the US Marines would put an end to that. Arrest several hundred teachers, throw the students into a POW cage, and let them learn firsthand what it's like to be on the LOSING side. Also let them know their stupidity will not be ignored. It would put an end to a lot of this stuff in a hurry.

As someone said to me on another blog, "if we arrested every leftwing extremist on college campuses in the United States, there wouldn't be enough professors left to hold two classes".

There is going to HAVE to be an accounting. The sooner the better.

#7 Sorry, Old Pat. But I can't agree with you on this one. What you're advocating is Tiananmen Square on the Campus quad. Are you sure that's what you really want?
We don't need it. Let the bozo's run their mouth's and spew their insanity and the only thing they'll succeed at is running their movement headlong into oblivion. The best part? They'll do it to themselves.

#8 As long at the looney left can get away with their name-calling, 'moral indignity', and all the other false facades they display to the world, while still trying to destroy the very fundamentals this nation was built upon, with absolutely no cost to themselves for their action, it will continue. Once you put a price on such stupidity, those who find it "fun" will stop. Those who continue will prove to the world their hatred is not just a way to make points with the chicks, but a deep, abiding hate for the freedom, individual responsibility, and loyalty, not to a "cause" or a "party",but to an IDEAL. Being "left" these days is chic, and easy. It requires no real moral thougth or principles. It exhausts the rest of us, however, by constantly bombarding us with blather that has no value and no meaning.

Swatting a spoiled brat across the bottom with a bare hand does wonders for establishing self-discipline. Doing the same thing on our college campuses will be more difficult, and will require more force. This is NOT Tienamen, and the attempt to portray it as such is horseshit. This is correcting a major failure on the part of society for not correcting this irresponsible behavior in the first place.
