My beloved field of study is being trod in the mud by people like this.
A "Weird" Churchill for the East Coast!
All they've got left are the useful idiots. The "International Useful Idiots Movement." The "Useful Idiot's Party."
(steely)
This guy makes Ward Churchill seem like a John Bircher in comparison.
It's actually the Eastern GoldFink!
What a nut case!
I've got a question; is there any credible organization that creates a central repository on these academic freak shows? I've got two boys headed to college and while I want them to get real degrees (business, engineering or architecture), I know they have to take a "required" amount of "man's inhumanity to man transcends the class struggle" garbage. But obviously some academic freaks are less unpalatable than others. Is there a resource out there that will alert students to the "freak show" profs? I'd rather not waste my money supporting these idiots by putting my kid in their class.
Typical faux intellectual. When a person offers 'expertise' outside of his field, it's called OPINION. When he uses his professorial identity to lend authority to his opinions while offering them to our children, it's called "aggregious violation of professorial ethics, teacher/student trust, and parental faith."
IMHO, of course. If we want the English prof. to correct the spelling of folks like George Bush and Condi Rice, we'll give him a call.
Today's Communist Motto: One hundred years of failure means nothing!
My dad's alma mater. A certain freeper being pinged went to the high school they used to have on campus as well.
Good handle frogjerk. :)
That's hilarious. Stalin killed most of his revolutionary 'comrades', along with untold millions of others. This brain-dead idiot could have used a time-out in a Stalin-era Gulag.
Only death by stroke probably saved Lenin from the same fate of many of Stalin's "comrades."
"Ideas are more powerful than guns.
If we don't let our people have guns,
why should we let them have ideas." --Josef Stalin
That's a perfect Stalinism - he didn't let them have ideas either!
This school obviously has too much money...
I was surprised and shocked to see this man's name used in this story. I fully intend on looking into this book, and this apparent relative of mine, and discovering what is really going on. I am also a student of history, and of archaeology, particularly of the pre-columbian Midwest, and the theme of this book disturbs me, if only for its blatant and obvious revisionism. If anyone has read this book by James Axtell, please freepmail me and give me your opinion of its contents, importance or lack thereof. I will post an analysis for discussion at some point when I am sure I have all the facts regarding this book, and Axtell's thesis direction.
This bonehead would make the perfect straight man for the comedy team "Churchill/Furr".
Perfect response! I emailed that to the good professor, I hope you don't mind. If anyone else would like to email him, here is his address: furrg@mail.montclair.edu
