Letter to the editor: Conservative's lies out of control
March 28, 2003
Dear Editor,
Russell Greim's piece about "un-American groups behind war protests" (March 24) was not just a tad demagogic; it was an unchecked id running out of control.
Just think, he didn't say dissenters were "bad" Americans. He said they were "un-American." He has reached a point where he is more conservative than Indiana at large.
He started the piece with the issue of "time"; that is, the First Amendment's free speech rights. Next, he arbitrarily defined "peaceable" assembly in order to take away the rights of dissenters to redress grievances. That is, the First Amendment is optional or conditional. Rubbish!
Dissent is to be combated with a single-mindedness that borders on paranoia, according to Greim. Stakes are high. So is Greim's fear. Disagreement looks like treason to him, and he resorted to lying about the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organization. That is, they are supporters of communism in Cuba. And he lied about Ramsey Clark, too.
In a constitutional democracy like ours, we owe loyalty to the Constitution rather than to the Bush government. And the American Constitution is a liberal construction. Americans consent to government as individuals. We do not consent as members of any group.
Regarding Bush's "election," even Ken Starr admits in his new book on the Supreme Court that the Court's preeminence does not stem from the Constitution, but is simply a continuation of politics. So much for the Bush v. Gore 5-4 decision, a.k.a. judicial tyranny, that some folks dare call treason.
Voltaire got to the nub of the issue when he said, "It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong."

In a constitutional democracy like ours"Dr." Billy needs to go back and take a remedial American History class. We're a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy.

So much for the Bush v. Gore 5-4 decision, a.k.a. judicial tyranny, that some folks dare call treason.He's either lying or ignorant. The original Supreme Court decision was 9-0! The 5-4 decision was the decision on remediation.
Maybe this guy only reads at the 4th grade level.

There are so many fallacies and misconceptions (I really am too kind) in the good Doctors argument, that it would require a rather lengthy piece to refute all of them. (His equating of 18th cent. liberalism with 20th cent. liberalism begs for a rebuttal of what could be book-length.)
It is pleasant to note the degree of his irritation with arguments presented by the other side. Can one actually die of apoplexy?

"So much for the Bush v. Gore 5-4 decision . . ."
The pertinent decision re the count was 7-2. Jeez, did this guy get any of his facts right? Pointy-heady, elitist, dipwad.
Sorry to do a DU stoop to name calling, but there are so many things wrong about this it's sad, truly sad.

Paschal and I have butted-heads in the local "Letters to the Editor" section of the Anderson Herald-Bulletin before. He is a liar and dissembler who spent the 1990's living his life vicariously through Monica Blewinski.
Example? The above letter splits hairs on the legality of the Bush II presidency. Guess where Paschal was when predator-in-chief WJC was splitting hairs about the meaning of the word "is"? That's right: it was all about the sex, he claimed. Screw the rights of the women attacked or harrassed by WJC! To hell with the equal protection clause!.
Btw, Paschal's views are routinely challenged in the Muncie and Anderson, Indiana, local papers by the thinking people of those fine cities. As of yet, he has not made a single, rational, rebuttal. When someone accused him in print of being a Liberal/Socialist, his reply was that he couldn't be, because he had acquaintences who were Republican!
Wow. Hard to debate such knife-edged logic as that, eh?
Paschal is just another hate-America quasi-intellectual commie/socialist college prof feeding at the teat of the very country he so despises; and who cannot figure out why it is always so dark around him and smells like his own toilet. </rant off>
PS: Where the heck was the barf alert?

Does this mean that anytime the USA is referred to as a democracy - that's wrong. The reference to the US as a Democracy is embedded in everything we do and say about our country.

This is so typical. Most of these types don't even know that there were two decisions, let alone that the first one was 7-2 for Bush. But they are very good at repeating the lie over and over again, hoping one day their lie becomes truth.

Many of these liberal arts professors are nothing then leftist shills. They are elitist, condesending and contemptious about everyone that doesn't share their world view. They can rant and rave from their pulpit and not have to worry about losing their job, because they are protected by tenure.
What is even worse is that these vermin liberal art professors can reproduce. In most universities, graduate students are required to have a faculty advisor, who has life and death control over whether they receive their advanced degree. These graduate students learn to espouse the values and ideals of their faculty advisor, and then upon graduation, go out and spew thair anti-conservative, anti-American gutter hatred. They support free speech, yet deny it to their opponents...
Whew, I am feeling rather nasty this morning...

I see plenty of logical rebuttals to Paschal here. Why not respond to him in the forum of his choice, the BSU newspaper: http://www.bsudailynews.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2003/03/28/
Remember to CC the perfessor itself: 00bjpaschal@bsu.edu
Paschal has been proved wrong time and time again. Maybe it's time we asked, "Are you a liar, or just ignorant?"
