Ok so like we didn't already know this...
In my brief presentation, I outlined a long history of U.S. invasions, wars of conquest, military occupations, and colonization in order to establish that imperialism and white supremacy have been constitutive of U.S. nation-state formation and U.S. nationalism.
In other words.. Dispite the fact that the US has FREED more people in modern history and time and time agian have assisted in if not totally rebuilt nations that we have had to fight in war and ultimately gave control back.. I'm going to overlook that and say that America is evil and because my family was probably poor somewhere in a foriegn country and It has to be the US racist white people that caused it...
I also emphasized that the disproportionate majority of U.S. troops come from racially subordinated and working-class backgrounds and are in the military largely as a consequence of a treacherous lack of prospects for a decent life.
In other words.. in order to prove even more of how much and ASSHATTED MORON I am.. I'm gonna totally ignore the fact that military service men and women could probably make more working at McDonalds (they are always hiring), and that the military is a currently volunteer organization. And it's irrelavant that a majority of people that join the military are well educated and go thru a strengent entrance process. And that a majority of people that serve in the service of our country do so proudly with integrity, honor and pride. But that doesn't matter because I get paid a lot of money to spit on them while (cough) educating others to be anti-american and use the "Rights" that they willingly protect to spew my message of how to hate america... Oh yeah.. did I mention I get paid a lot of money to do that.. It probably should go to the military because they are the ones that would defend me if Canada invades.. But then again I'd let the Canadians take over.. cuz I'm to much of a coward to even face the public after making those stupid remarks..
More importantly, my rejection of U.S. nationalism is an appeal to liberate our own political imaginations such that we might usher in a radically different world in which we will not remain the prisoners of U.S. global domination.
Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev,Andropov, Chernenko, Gorbachev, just didn't do it right... Castro and other modern Socialist/Communist leaders are faring well.. Hell just gotta give it a shot here in the US.. Regardless of the fact that it would take away my right to sit here and be a total ASSHATTED ASSCLOWN and spew this garbage across college campuses.. oh.. did I mention I get paid alot and I hide if people disagree with me or get mad when i'm being an ASSCLOWN!...
All I gotta say.... is De Genova... Make that speech again.. this time do it at a Marine Corp Bootcamp Graduation....
Forgive my bad spelling and grammar and all that.. was typing on the fly while thoughts were pouting out...

Hey De Genova, hear the American longshoremen want to take you for a boat ride.
Hey De Genova, hear the U.S. military want to take you for either a boat, plane, helicopter, or missile ride.
Hey De Genova, hear the truckers union want to take you for a truck ride.
Hey De Genova, I just want to take a bat to your ass there boy.

I'm glad he put all this in "context." Now we know he's just as stupid, ill-informed and anti-American as he initially sounded. And we have the bonus of knowing this "professor" is incapable of stringing together a coherent argument based on accurate facts.
To: Grymskull
In that context, I stressed the necessity of repudiating all forms of U.S. patriotism.
Oh, well, if you put it
that way.

DeGenova's old college roommate says he was a Trotskyite from day one. That basically means he was a red Nazi. Nazis of any color shouldn't be given any credibility and it's sad that people actually took this guy seriously at any time.

That's fine, we should all have the passion and fire of Marines. Semper Fi.
At least this fool's boss is smart enough to employ the liberal stratigy of slash-and-burn of the English language when he gets heat. ("I support our troops but I'm against the war" dodge)This moronic true believer isn't making things any better for himself.

Judging from his pro-Palestinian views, I think your analogy may work in more ways than one.

Send him and the rest of the UN lackeys (isn't that a great word? It comes from the Big Book O' Communism that I learned in my SDS years. Contextualized, anti-colonial, white supremacy, imperial chauvinism all great words from the Book) to Geneva and stay there.
I didn't see hegemony. Did he use hegemony? If he didn't he must have slipped. Or lost his Book...

Spare us the equivocating, DeGenerate. Your yap got your a$$ in trouble, and now you're trying to blither your way out. No sale, bub. Prepare to teach rug hooking at the Senior Center.

In other news, it has been reported that Hitler's comments about the "Final Solution" were misquoted and taken out of context. What he really meant to say was that he wanted to eradicate every Jewish person on the planet.

This pompous A-hole, bigot should stay in hiding if he knows what's good for him.

Well if I were a marine.. I wouldn't be posting.. I'd be fighting.. I merely was trying to suggest an alternative audience if he really wants to spread his good word... Myself.. I'm a 4 year USAF vet of Desert Storm... But hey.. I have friends and family who are Marines.. :)...
I hope that doesn't lessen my passion and fire tho :)
To: Grymskull
Man...what rock does such a waste of good air crawl out from under?
Where do they find these a@@holes? Is this happening in every University? Is it all this bad?
To: Grymskull
Spectator, now for the second time in less than a year, has succeeded to quote me in a remarkably decontextualized and inflammatory mannerSo, as someone much smarter than me has said, in what context would his remarks be acceptable?
