#1 Chicano Studies = La Raza Recruitment Center = No real job after college

#2 John Leanos says he doesnât think the message is "anti-war".

Oh no... not at all. Language like Flawed perceptions of myself[,] my country and the war on terror... is really neutral. Nah, no blood pressure boil-over here. Not at all.
(I'm just glad I'm not heading toward Tempe in the near future... so should Leanos, for that matter.)

#3 Itâs an artist who is also an assistant professor with a Chicano Studies project at A.S.U.

In other words, "I'm pretty much unemployable".
I hope somebody out there finally gets fed up with this bullshit and kicks "the perfesser's" ass.

#4 In other words, "I'm pretty much unemployable".

Nah, he can always get a job at the Arizona Republic. Roberto Pimental could always use a counterpart in the paper's Raving Chicano-Lefist Department.

#5 That should be 'Leftist'. Sigh....

#6 the tragic decisions made in Afghanistan

In other words, he's not anti-war, he's on the other side.

#7 he simply wanted the posters to be thought-provoking about the tragic decisions made in Afghanistan

What decisions made in Afghanistan? The decision to kill 3000 and more Americans on a Fall day? The decision to bomb the Cole? The decision to bomb American Embassies in Africa? I guess only Taliban and Al-Qaeda lives rate in your world, eh Mr. Leanos? The lives of those that keep you fat, dumb and happy in a warm, safe bed at night just don't rate, do they Mr. Leanos? Wake up and smell the coffee Mr. Leanos. Open the shades and let the light in.

#9 and pardon my Phrench...it's hard to be nuanced after reading crap like that.

#10 I would say the professor is dangerously naive and part of the "shit for brains" crowd.

#11 Oh-oh. Look what I found...

He's an "artist and Digital Culture Worker".
And, yes there is an email address...

Perhaps the problem is the brain surgery that the "professor" underwent, performed by a first-year medical student (pictured above)

#14 The assistant prof is a real hero. What courage. First he puts his own twisted words into the mouth of a soldier who died in battle and can't contradict those words, and then when he's confronted he tries to squirm out of it.

How much lower can the left go?

#15 Zpaz-you said it.

I'd love to see someone get an explanation from this numbskull on exactly what the tragic decisions made in Afghanistan means. Maybe he thought we shouldn't have gone after the Taliban/Al Qaeda?

#16 Perhaps he should study Chicanos on the other side of the border for awhile. He might find the foreign policy of Mexico bland enough to his liking.

#18 To An Athlete Dying Young

The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.

To-day, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.

Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears:

Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners who renown outran
And the name died before the man.

So set, before its echoes fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.

And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl's.

-A. E. Housman, 1896
