The Left's Vision For America

From LGF we get some insight into the views of the anti-war Left:

Here's a screenshot I made from another pic from the same rally (a US soldier is being burned in effigy):

I'm sure they think they're patriots. (That whirring sound you hear is John Adams spinning in his grave.) What I'd like to know is: what exactly is their vision for America? I have a pretty strong stomach, but I don't know if I could bear to find out. I fear for my son's future.

A New Low For The Academy (And That's Saying Something)

Over at Rants and Refinements, longtime friend of this blog Tim "The Bad" highlights an almost unbelievable example of the depths to which some segments of our academic "elite" have sunk:

This is Julio César Pino. He is on the Ohio State payroll as a professor of Latin American History at Kent State. His current courses include “Comparative Latin American Revolutions”, “Afro-Latin America” and “History of Women in Latin America”. In 1997 he published “Family and Favela: the Reproduction of Poverty in Rio de Janeiro” (Greenwood Press). He is the author of numerous articles in Latin American Research Review, Journal of Urban History, Latin American Perspectives and other journals. Dr. Pino is listed in Who’s Who in American Education and Who’s Who in America.

Wow, sounds like a pretty bright guy. The Ohio taxpayers have a seriously talented man teaching their students. That’s true, if you consider a pro-jihad muslim openly indoctrinating in our State-funded classrooms. He’s pretty difficult to get hold of since he only has office hours two days per week, taking the lead from Congressional democrats I imagine. So, when he’s busy not coming in to the office, he’s writing this little vile piece of filth online: Global War.

Yes, this is a pro-jihad site that openly professes support for the Taliban and Osama bin-Laden. When I say “openly”, I mean it in the strictest of contexts. From his site:

“We are a jihadist news service, and provide battle dispatches, training manuals, and jihad videos to our brothers worldwide.”

You might be inclined to ask yourself, “Self, isn’t that providing aid to the enemy?”

A very good question indeed. A lot of additional very good questions need to be put to the administration of Kent State University.
