My Decade at Cornell (Conservative Student Joe Sabia Hilariously Says Goodbye to the Ivy League)
Cornell Daily Sun ^ | May 2004 | Joe Sabia-Doctoral Candidate in Public Policy/Economics

Posted on 05/22/2004 8:54:20 AM PDT by sathers

Even a conservative gets sentimental. Saying goodbye to Cornell after 10 years is tough. So in my last column, I want to say to my readers, my colleagues at the Cornell Sun, my professors, my friends and my foes: I don't regret a damn thing.

You all were tremedously lucky to have me around for 10 years and especially lucky to have me writing my column in the Sun this part year.

97% of Cornell faculty are registered leftists. The University President is Mr. Racial Quota King, and he is surrounded by a coterie of liberal sycophants.

The Sun's editors are all liberals, and 91 percent of the politcal columnists are left of center. I provided you a viewpoint that is totally absent from your classrooms, your dorms, and your campus mainstream media. You're welcome.

Never again will you see columns in the Daily Sun like 'The Cynthia McKinney Debacle,' in which I pointed out her hiring was clearly a political payoff to the Africana Studies and Reasearch Center.

How many Sun writers could withstand the charges of xenophobia after writing an essay like 'No way, Jose!' in which I declared unless we stop illegal immigration 'we can all say adios to American culture and American jobs?'

Or how about standing up to radical gay leftists who 'do not want to keep the bedroom door closed anymore but [rather want] to remove the hinges from the door, tie you to the bed and force you to watch and endorse their perverted sex lives.'

And who at the Sun will confront the crazy bra burners as I did in 'Ode to Housewives?' Absolute hysteria broke out on campus as I made terribly controverisal statements such as, 'Deep down, every young woman wants to find a husband who will love and protect her,' and 'Stay at home moms are the great heroes of the American family.' What subversion!

The last decade has been fun for me. But as I leave you now, just think at what you will be missing. Because gentelmen, this is my last Sun column. I now return you to your regularly scheduled liberalism.

He is going to be a real loss for Cornell. LOL, I'll bet it was fun to watch the reactions to his columns.

Reading this from Cornell is like finding a Rembrandt at a display of kindergartners' art.

Does that make Cornel a leftist re-education camp ?..

Or a super leftist education camp.. or a Propaganda school for the logically challeged... or a dis-information compendium of failed ideological figments ?..

At any rate Cornel has become now, looser city with no glimmer of hope of learning that Joseph McCarthy was right and an american hero before he got himself, "Borked"..

Sabia said in an interview that there is one female conservative columnist at Cornell that is better than him working right now-I hope this is true!

That remark could get him in hot water around here too.

Poor baby! You need obviously some self esteem education

So, are you gonna send some cash, or what? Do you think self-esteem education comes cheap?

"In her piece, Szelényi also claimed that "Native American Indians" are victims of discrimination. What exactly is a Native American Indian? Perhaps the sociology department's crack staff is studying the oppression of everyone named Pocahontas Patel."

ROFL!

If you're going to excerpt, please do it by cutting-and-pasting text from the original article. You introduced several typos and changed the wording of some sentences in a way that reflected poorly on Mr. Sabia -- I had originally assumed that the errors were his, until I read the full article and discovered otherwise.

One of the funniest things I have ever read. I wish I could have been the one to do this.

The most awesome 'farewell column' of all time.

Right up there with Lee Elias cursing out Cubs fans after a losing streak.
