You don't have to travel all the way to the Pakistani frontier to find mobs of America-hating fanatics -- just visit your nearest American university.
From Harvard to Michigan to UC San Diego, editorial comment from our future "journalists" admonish us that the Sept. 11 attacks were "not unwarranted" given our "arrogance" in dealing with the rest of the world. Demonstrations by students and professors proclaim that patriotism equals hate and that a country as criminal as the United States got what it deserved.

IOW two losers who didn't make the cut at NEWSWEEK seeing fit to lecture us all from their cozy, isolated compound.
At its fall meeting the Ithaca College Board of Trustees elected as its newest member Adelaide Gomer, a trustee of the Park Foundation of Ithaca, New York. Gomer is the daughter of foundation president Dorothy D. Park and the late Roy H. Park, who was a 20-year member of the Ithaca College Board of Trustees and its first chairman emeritus.
As a trustee of the Park Foundation, Gomer reviews and awards grants to educational, social, and environmental organizations. She has taught reading and special education in school districts in the Ithaca, Rochester, and Richmond, Virginia, areas. She was an adjunct faculty member in the Learning Development Center
of the Rochester Institute of Technology and served as a research assistant at the New York State Institute for Occupational Education and as an assistant to the dean at the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine, both at Cornell University. Prior to that, she worked in public relations and advertising at Hill and Knowlton and Marcus Purchasing Co. in New York City, and at the Hoeffer, Dietrich & Brown advertising agency in San Francisco.
"I am honored to accept an appointment to the Ithaca College Board of Trustees," said Gomer. "It provides a special opportunity for me to bring together my experience in various aspects of education with my interests in higher education in general and Ithaca College in particular.
"In a more personal sense, I know how much my father enjoyed his work with the College," Gomer continued, "and of course it means a great deal to me to carry on that relationship."
Board of trustees chairman Herman E. Muller Jr. said he is delighted with Gomer's appointment. "In addition to her considerable professional expertise, Adelaide brings to the board invaluable insight and knowledge of the greater Ithaca community which the College is so proud to be a part of," Muller said.
Gomer holds a bachelor's degree in sociology and English from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and a master's degree in education from Longwood College in Virginia. In the community she has worked with such organizations as the United Way, Literacy Volunteers, and the Special Olympics.
Ithaca IS the City of Evil.
When you're a unionized, bureaucratic monopoly (a distinction shared by the Ithaca Journal and NY Times), you can pretty much write the rulebook as you go along.
The first letter notes:
American government policies generate and support oppression in the world, often antidemocratic and sometimes heinous. This is absolutely indisputable.and argues that anyone who disputes this is "kill[ing] the messenger."
The second letter makes the same tired comments about "McCarthyism" as most of the other letters. Apparently redundancy is not crime at the Ithaca Journal, as long as it's redundant liberalism.
Ithaca is the City of Evil.
City of Evil bump.
Not bad. Very good actually.
I only see one problem: the slogan will be misunderstood by the dominant lefties of Ithaca who will think it's a call to make Ithaca even MORE socialist.
I think I prefer the "city of evil" sticker if for no other reason than the fact it bug people so arrogant as to brag how "enlightened" their city is nuts.
Gotta love this one! Thanks, looking forward to the bumper stickers! "City of Evil" bump
It's still going.
Today we have another guest column by the "anti-American" Prof. Barlas, further justifying her views and attacking her critics.
The Ithacites just can't stand the thought that someone disagreed with their anti-American, apologist-for-terror, views.
Perhaps because there are so few conservative voices in the Ithaca community? Ithaca is the City of Evil.
Honey, be thankful we BOTHER to wonder why "they hate us".
The alternative, which is looking increasingly attractive, is to ship 'em all to paradise at let Allah sort it out.
Sounds to me like her like her life got a lot better here in The Good Ole USA. However, she describes her life, My life initially was one of newfound poverty, loneliness, single motherhood and racial hatred directed against my son and myself.
Well lady, that kind of sounds like the lives of thousands of women in American as well. I personally don't know any women who are Associate Professors. I would say in spite of all lifes hard ships you have done well, and should be very thankful you are in a country where it could be achieved and was achieved.
Now you are showing your gratitude.

Nearly one month later, the Ithacites are still up in arms over the idea that someone dared have the temerity to criticize liberal bias at Cornell and Ithaca College.
Today's "guest column" (how many has it been? Four? Five? And that's not even counting the outraged letters to the editors) blames the liberal bias on, you guessed it, conservatives:
It is true there are a disproportionate number of liberals on the faculties of the better colleges and universities, Cornell University and Ithaca College included. However, the reason for this may not be the elimination of conservatives by their liberal rivals on the basis of their political views. Rather, it may result from the rule of the survival of the fittest -- idea or opinion. Because the ideas and opinions of liberals appear to more closely correspond to reality than do those of conservatives, they are more likely to survive the tests for truth...

Hey, let's change that around a bit...
Yes, the Jews are dying, Eichmann says to himself. But hey, that's just the natural order of things. They just can't survive in this world - of course they're being weeded out. If they could survive, why, they would, wouldn't they?
Haven't the libs been telling us for years now not to blame the victim?
It also flies directly in the face of the claim by the Ithacites that embrace, above all else, diversity.
But we knew that was lie.
But, but, if we promoted ideological diversity (we can imagine the author whining), that would mean promoting people who obviously don't deserve it. We'd be giving conservatives something they couldn't earn on their own - that's not fair, is it?
Maybe we should cast ideological diversity in terms of affirmative action, just to watch them all tap-dance furiously...
And, even more importantly, didn't want to "live around, work with or go to school with...black people".
Ex-boss of mine, an Ivy league graduate, actually spent his vacation one summer as a Freedom Rider in Mississippi. Admirable, indeed.
But, then, a black couple moved into the apartment next door to him. He moved out in a huff the very next weekend.
Net/net: feeling noble was one thing. But being a neighbor was another.
