Let’s not forget, obama wants billions to support these leftists.

The ISO stands in the tradition of revolutionary socialists Karl Marx, V.I. Lenin and Leon Trotsky in the belief that workers themselves--the vast majority of the population--are the only force that can lead the fight to win a socialist society. Socialism can't be brought about from above, but has to be won by workers themselves.
Leftist believe in free speech - as long as they agree with it.
The whole liberal issue, no matter what it is - gays, guns, God - is that they simply cannot HANDLE ANYONE around them saying anything that opposes what they believe, because it shatters their false comforting belief that everyone agrees with them. They actually hate people not only for rejecting their views, having the audacity to, but also for the simple fact that ANY opposition forces them to realize a truth they never want to have to face - that there are people that do oppose them, that do not think they are right, and that means there’s a possibility that they could be wrong. And they NEVER EVER want to admit they are wrong. Try listening to them when they have to sputter out what they consider an apology.
They hate the fact that reality is not what their internal worldview is - that almost everyone agrees with them, and those that don’t are tiny aberrations that almost exist in their imagination.
So realize when you’re going up against libs, you’re going up against people who hate you (and I mean HATE) for at least two different reasons: one is issue specific, one is because you simply exist - because your existence and therefore, your opposition to them, makes them have to confront the fact their worldview they are trying to stay in about reality, is a lie. And your existence forces them to recognize that fact. And because they have to consciously confront the fact they are lying to themselves they self-loathe themselves, it makes them nervous that they might be wrong on other things (doubt) and it makes them hate you even more. And by God, if there’s anything personal between you and them, that’s a third way they hate you.

Return of the Campus Witch Hunts
David Horowitz and the Thought Police
By DANA CLOUD
“David Horowitz is a self-appointed general of the right-wing thought police. In 2006, he published The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America. In it, he named me and 100 other professors as threats to national security akin to terrorists.”
“Many of my colleagues say that we ought not “take Horowitz’s bait.” Among scholars and activists, he is regarded as something of a kook and a windbag. The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has argued the weak line that disciplining faculty for supposed transgressions against academic freedom should be left up to university administrators, not politicians.”
“Then there are the organizations and professors who have devoted themselves to refuting Horowitz’s “facts” about their publications and activism. I believe this also is a wrong approach, because his “facts” about faculty syllabi and political affiliations are not in question. It is urgent that we challenge Horowitz politically.”
“Horowitz’s theatrics and demagoguery mask a very serious agenda: to discredit, harass and censor critical intellectuals and activists on our campuses. He knows that universities have historically been spaces of critical thinking and dissent. Students and professors have been organizing against the war and against the greed and hypocrisy of the right, and he would like nothing more than to hound us from our jobs.”
Sure they do.
As long as they agree.

Suffering people the world over need a special Pledge.
I pledge allegiance to all the ordinary people around the world, to the laid off Enron workers and the World Com workers, the maquiladora workers and the sweatshop workers from New York to Indonesia, who labor not under God but under the heel of multinational corporations; I pledge allegiance to the people of Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan, and to their struggles to survive and resist slavery to corporate greed, brutal wars against their families, and the economic and environmental ruin wrought by global capitalism. I pledge allegiance to building a better world where human needs are met and with real liberty, equality and justice for all.

Saying the Pledge of Allegiance is strange.
It seems very strange to pledge loyalty to a scrap of cloth representing a corrupt nation.

They haven’t believed in freedom of speech for the last forty years. They never will.
...as economic times worsen people like Dana Cloud will be out of a job...kids won’t sign up for her classes.
they only believe in free speech as it applies to them and no one else.
Is America unique in how its universities are dominated by socialist radicals? Or do other nations have more balanced, diverse points of view in their institutions of higher learning?
Funny how the Leftist ignoramuses throw “Mccarthyite” around...
I guess they haven’t been informed that McCarthy was correct after all.
