The excited grins we saw in the sea of faces at Barack Obama’s second Inauguration told us we lost and the socialists won.
They made sure we understood that. Liberal talking heads on television and radio as well as in print and in the blogosphere have been taunting us since November and there is no reason to think they will stop any time soon.
Their jobs are now safe for as far as the eye can see. “..segment of Obama supporters are learning that elections have consequences and being on the winning side doesn’t guarantee good times ahead.
America’s college professors, especially adjunct (part time non-tenured) professors are “getting it” now. Harvard University’s Center for Responsive Politics has complied data on the political leanings of those who teach at America’s colleges.
It reports that on average college faculties donate to Democrats over Republicans by a rate of 4 to 1, but in some schools that rate goes up to 99% as in the College of William and Mary. “…these professors are learning real life economic lessons courtesy of the provisions of Obamacare.
The stories of colleges beginning to cut back teaching hours for their adjunct professors (the foot soldiers of America’s higher education industry), are making their way to public knowledge.
In December, only a month after he most likely voted for Barack Obama, an adjunct professor at an Ohio school, opened a letter telling him that “in order to avoid penalties under the Affordable Care Act… employees with part-time or adjunct status will not be assigned more than an average of 29 hours per week.”
The cut will cost him $2,000.00 a year, and this guy crying that he can’t afford the cut. Gee aint that a terrible thing?....

Lenin and Stalin made sure that the first ones shot or sent to the gulag were the agitators who made the 1917 revolution possible.
Reminds me of an old aphorism attributed to Kruschev, who on the occasion of the failure of yet another five year plan reputedly said, “What we really need to do around here is to shoot a few more intellectuals”.
Unfortunately, the Coach doesn’t know a lot about academia.
First of all, the adjuncts don’t dress that way and certainly don’t hang out in the faculty lounge with the real faculty. They’re like Obama was in Chicago, they’re outsiders. They have no vote, they have low status.
These adjuncts typically teach fewer than five courses, at three contact hours each course that adds up to 15 hours.
Even if office hours are counted (adjuncts who have office hours, LOL) and their course load is cut, the tenured faculty will not pick up that work load. For every adjunct there are many more Ph.D.’s desperate for a job in the Academy. They’ll be happy to cut their hours at Starbucks to teach a few courses.
Good. Hope all those thousands who signed the petition in support of Bill Ayers will be first on the firing list.
I LOVE Tard the Grumpy Cat!
Being a professor has nothing to do with knowledge or talent. It has everything to do with kissing the correct asses for a long enough time.
bingo... seeing already in the ER. Lots' of "no local physician" charts popping up or " I used to have Dr. X but he can't see me anymore".
I’m crying a river of crocodile tears over here.
Colleges never die, they just lose their faculties. Maybe sooner under Obama care.
I saw a couple of people mention it, but I can assure you these older “left-behinds” are going to have to take up the slack and work harder to make up the difference. This from someone in the private sector who has had to deal with this for a few years. That makes my feelings about this especialluy sweet.
I found the pic on another thread, but it works here, too.
They did WHAT to the data?
