I have been mad before, but never like this.....

Liberals have often left me teetering on the brink of insanity after hearing them speak, but after watching the repeat of Hannity and Colmes I am beyond words (well I am really not because I am writing this now). They had this professor on from the University of Texas named Robert Jansen who said he hopes our country loses the Iraq War. Now, I don't know if simply rooting for your country to lose (or in other words rooting for the enemy and death of our brave soldiers) in a war is criminal (maybe some law freepers can help me on that one), but as a teacher, this guy left me with no doubt that he should not be aloud to be in a classroom indoctrinating young people to his sick views. In fact if he preaches what he was saying on the show in his class, I am postive what he is doing is some form of treason (no way, liberal and treason in the same sentece?!?!). I am going to email The University of Texas and everyone on here should do so too and demand that they fire him for his treachorous acts (hopefully, they will at least watch him and ensure he does not preach his evil to his students or maybe we can just get all students there to drop his class, at least the ones who don't hate America). The various contact info is:

Robert Jensen (send him the most emails) Associate Professor 512-471-1990 rjensen@uts.cc.utexas.edu

Lorraine Branham Director of School of Journalism, G.B. Dealey Regents Professor 512-471-1845 lbranham@mail.utexas.edu

Larry R. Faulkner President president@po.utexas.edu

Office of Public Affairs Phone 512-471-3151 utopa@www.utexas.edu

Office of the Vice President for Community and School Relations Phone 512.471.9882 vpcsr@www.utexas.edu

Lay it to them hard my fellow freepers!!!!!!!!1

It looks as if you did claim to be a teacher. That's why grammar is important. If writing is your form of communication, learn to write correctly, or you will miscommunicate.

"He is simply more outrageous than some..Shame on Hannity for having him on."

So you think he should remain unexposed? You think Hannity's exposing this idiot was wrong huh?

i know the liberal elites control the academic structure in our country, but come on, this is a little out there; I mean my professor said Iraq would never become a democracy, but that is a little different than saying "I hope we lose the war"

But be assured, I share your disgust for the Left. :-)

If I had gone to school there, I would have signed up for his class, came in the first day, raised my hand right away, and tell him that I mistakenly signed up for his "how to root for soldiers to die" class and then walk out and drop the class

I heard this putz tonight. He is a typical liberal. I once thought that there could be an honest difference of opinion on issues. But now those defined as liberal have gone way beyond that. They are mentally ill and no amount of reason can reach them.

There use to be laws on the books regarding treason and sedition, but they have been watered down until they are non-effective. Heck, half the members of Congress, fifty plus which are openly members of the communist party, the senate and the Supreme Court would be in the pen.

Take heart, when we get mad and the fingers start flying they go too fast for the grammar and spelling sections of the brain to keep up with. The anger chases out the editing portion.

But, it would be nice to rattle off a rant and have it come out exquisite wouldn't it? I have trouble with the unspelling ungrammatical fingers too.

If we want to keep people who don't have the right attitudes out of colleges, then kiss any hope of conservatives getting a handhold there goodbye.

I'll have nothing to do with censoring free speech and free thought on campuses. We have to fight for MORE not less free expression there. That way our side gets a better representation and we can crush their Marxist silliness with reality, capitalism, representative democracy and understanding of the founders's intentions in creating this country.

A dippy liberal college professor making a stupid statement--wow, never heard of THAT happening before! But my response isn't to become the censoring fascist they'd love to accuse me of being. Exposing jerks like this so they reveal their true motives is the way.

They censor the conservative students on campus in many Universities, the token conservative professors are shunned and denied tenure..

Free speech is for libs only it seems.
