Left Wing College Ping!
Let me know if you want on or off this list.

"I think that germs are a very good thing. If you are constantly cleaning yourself, your body won't have anything to fight, and as soon as you get hit with one little virus, your going down like a sack of potatoes. This is why I occasionally don't wash my hands after using the bathroom, and touch doorknobs, and then go eat sandwiches"

Is he French? ;-)

[HitmanLV]

Man, pretty poor stuff. Reminds me of my days at Vassar in the 1980s - Reagan was president and we were kickin bootie! Haha! I have lost patience with people like that and I don't even humor them anymore.

[Mr. Mojo]

"Now lets get back to talking about this redistribution of wealth thing. I really think its a great idea."

Perhaps you should suggest to this prick that he re-locate.....to Cuba.

[Billthedrill]

I hope your professor sticks to political science - biology isn't his strong suit. He isn't likely to get sick by not washing after playing in his own poo, since you can't catch what you already have, but other people are not quite that fortunate and may not be properly grateful for the little dose of salmonella, shigella, enteropathogenic E. coli, etc, etc, that he paints on sundry public surfaces...I'm hoping he was kidding, but anyone silly enough to buy into redistribution of wealth and the failure of socialism simultaneously isn't dealing with a full deck anyhow.

The statutory requirements for the office of President of the United States may be found in the Constitution, Article II, Section 1. If what the fellow was referring to were other, unwritten "qualifications," then I'd caution against any premature dependence on blue blood or extensive family connections - there are a number of serious exceptions to that, including Truman, Carter, and George W. Bush's immediate and unnameable predecessor. Military connections are common - Eisenhower, Grant, Washington. The legal profession is well-represented - Jefferson, Lincoln. In olden days oratory was more necessary than now, replaced by facility in the employment of broadcast communications media.

H.L. Mencken had this to say about the qualifications necessary to be a politician:

The typical politician is not only a rascal but also a jackass, so he greatly values the puerile notoriety and adulation that sensible men try to avoid.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Discuss the formal and informal qualifications and the current electoral context for presidential candidates. How do these affect the qualifications and potential for a successful presidency today?

Shall we lend a hand on this one? 8^)

[Southack]

"Now lets get back to talking about this redistribution of wealth thing. I really think its a great idea."

Naturally you replied, "Then since I'm a poor college student and you are paid well above the poverty line, let's start by redistributing your wealth, today, in this class, right now."

[Southack]

"I think everybody in the military should be over 65, and we shouldn't have any young people in there. The old people have enjoyed America. These young ones haven't enjoyed it yet, and I don't like seeing young people blown up"

People in our military, God bless them, seem to be SAFER from terrorists than were the 3,000 Americans of all ages, races, and genders in the three buildings and four jetliners that were brutally attacked on September 11.

Our enemies have been told to strike where we are most vulnerable, which is arguably NOT somewhere near the most powerful military on this planet.

So if your professor wants to see young people survive, he should be urging them to go into our military, by his "logic".

[Southack]

"Who you know is Affirmative Action for White people. It strikes me as odd that George Bush got into Yale because of who his Dad was, but at Michigan they aren't allowed to do the exact same thing"

There is no box to check on your Michigan application to indicate that you "know" someone.

On the other hand, their application DOES take the color of your skin into consideration.

What your professor wants to do is to discriminate against currently out of favor races, based solely upon skin color.

Furthermore, Michigan is a PUBLIC university, funded with tax dollars, something that the private Yale school is not burdened with.

[Southack]

"All the rich states voted for Gore, and all the poor backwards uneduated states voted for Bush"

So your professor is not only a bigot against the poor and downtrodden, but he also admits that the Democrats are the Party of the Rich.

No wonder Clinton pardoned his running buddy, Billionaire Marc Rich.

[Chairman Fred]

Do what I did: realize that a college degree isn't worth the paper it's printed on, and drop out. I spent six years at the University of Chicago, had A's in my major and B overall. And when I was there (1971-77), the U of C had real grades, too.

Ignore the academic world. It isn't worth the powder it would take to blow it up.

[BMeyer8622]

In my "Comparative Politics" class here at Vanderbilt we have been discussing Capitalism all semester. My professor recently printed out a list of review questions for the test. The list was titled "Satanism 101." What a great professor.

[freedumb2003]

You have two courses of action:

1. Go with the flow and give the self-hating whacko what he wants, get out of his class with high scores, get a recommendation letter from him, then put it on your wall next to your RNC poster and tell everyone how you have the support of a DINO professor.

2. Fight the son of a bitch every step of the way. Ask how his personal beliefs apply to the subject at hand. Let him know you will record (using your PDA, laptop, RadioShack recorder, whatever) his response and will submit it to the Dean and, of course, the local Newspaper and the campus rag. You may not win, but you might be able to establish a pattern of discrimination based not on knowledge, but on liberal prejudice. If you can get that info to Rush and to the Federal Govt (who funds the school) you might be able to send him on Academic Leave and get a CR in the class.

Choose wisely

[WOSG]

whoa! I started reading the quotes first, I thought it was funny stuff found on students essays - you know they find the D-grade student essays and make fun of them ...


A PROFESSOR said this?!?!
(shudder)

[Texas_Jarhead]

you say business law proof.... I say idiot not ready for prime time

[rwfromkansas]

Wow; the business people here are mostly liberal (funny because the lady who led the business dept. at my HS was the wife of the county chairman for the 2000 Bush campaign). But, at least they can admit when conservatives have a good point and often, they even sound pretty conservative on some issues.

[I'm ALL Right!]

"Discuss the formal and informal qualifications and the current electoral context for presidential candidates. How do these affect the qualifications and potential for a successful presidency today?"

This is for your Business Law class?

[lafroste]

"Now lets get back to talking about this redistribution of wealth thing. I really think its a great idea."

Tell him you agree, then hand him your tuition or housing bill and tell him to pay it. After all, its not fair that he makes so much more than you. Principles are learned at home don't you know.

[Crusader_062002]

"All the rich states voted for Gore, and all the poor backwards uneduated states voted for Bush"


Interesting. On weekends protests he probably accuses Bush of being a corporate monkey elected and controlled by rich white men.

I'm glad I did a little time in the real world before attending school. Comments like this could've stunted my intellectual growth.

Greetings ConservativeMan55, FReepers, et al:

Wow. My course syllabus from my community college business law 101 course was taught by Adjunct Professor, a practicing attorney. We followed West’s Business Law, 5th Edition, and worked the book from cover to cover. We answered the text questions at the end of each chapter.

Imagine this, we were so busy during the semester, our professor had little time to cover anything, but business law. And we learned practical business law critical thinking skills in the course.
