No matter how much they suffer, it will NEVER be enough to compensate the rest of us for the affirmative action promotions and the support given that foisted this usurper upon the nation.

Suffering is good for these self-loathing “educators”. May they experience ever more...

I’m wondering though, how many are thinking

“this sucks, but I’m sure it’s better for the common good”.

In other words, they believe they are more righteous for supporting Obamacare even though it costs them more personally.

If they’re not hanging from lamp posts then they’re getting off easy.

As liberals they should have to pay, and still not get coverage except for a colonoscopy (except the ones who’d like that), but unfortunately they get as good as we do who didn’t push for this fascism. No justice. Yet.

The bulk of these people supported Hussein so they surely must feel fine even if Donkeycare costs them more. Forward!

They only want common good if someone else pays for it.

Any college professor who voted for King Obama and now wants to whine about Obamacare should be punched in the face by every student in their class.

THEN they’ll have a position to whine from. Otherwise, they brought it on themselves.

Self righteousness is the #1 goal.
They achieve this by simply believing the poor should be “helped”, by the government, preferably (which keeps them from having to personally sacrifice for it).

However, if there is a personal cost, though it is not desirable, the self righteousness is worth the sacrifice.

This applies to all leftist policies.

Probably most of them . . . remember, most walk, ride a bike, or drive a Volt to work, live in a nice neighborhood in some bucolic (although out of the way) college town, and are surrounded by like-minded people who share their sense of superiority.

Colleges have been shifting to as many part time instructors as possible for years. No benefits at all and lower pay scale. Think of the money saved on healthcare, retirement benefits and tenured layabouts. :>}

UC personnel across the board are all paying more for medical insurance and getting less, not just the professor class.

Good one, McProfs. Several years ago I was offered a contract to teach a night class at a local community college. It paid the princely sum of $26 per class meeting. It was on the other side of town. When I calculated the fuel expense, my hours in preparing for the class, grading papers and exams, I would have done better at Burger King.
