For a girl that can't spell, I'd say your shoveling shit about Polivinylchic......The notion that liberals are not Americans is probably the most retarded idea I've heard in my entire life. Get a life, chickie.
She's using a tactic popular with Lefties in that she has altered the definition of a word - in this case "American" to suit her needs for a particular preposition. She is basically stating that Liberals are "Un-American" . Most of what she had to say is too deep for you to comprehend ... I think "Special" people such as yourself should limit yourselves to conversations relative to spongebob and mickey mouse
This little Korean maid cracks me up. If you did study you'd understand that you now live in a Liberal nation, founder by Liberals, who would never have let you get near the government decision-making for fear of you being exactly what you are, a box of tampons.My apologies. I was under the impression that you were still a student. Probably because I can't understand how anyone who's not either a student or retired could spend as much time as you do here.OK, finally the motivation for your rant is revealed. you're tired of getting poor grades for your ill founded rants and figure it's some kind of conspiracy.I commented on your thread, what more do you want?
You want me to agree? Sorry, I will not, you are wrong.
Can I have some eggs with that spam?
In saying that I am 'wrong'....are you saying that you are just fine with Liberalism, the political view that controls the universities.....is behaving correctly in shutting down debate?
Is that your point, comrade?
BTW....you look lovely in that crisp new brown shirt.
And you were able to glean that from this thread?
Actually, I did pretty well in a pretty good LIBERAL university, you moron.
I don't hide any motivations.....it's right there in the title.
Liberals hate free speech along with other American values: they despise the Founders, and the Constitution.
Understand now, you dope?

Being independently and incalculably rich, I have no need for job, peasant.

Of course,supervising the serve-staff takes a large part of my time as well.
The professor is a douchebag.
However, do you have anything other than anecdotes to conclude that liberals broadly don't want any discussion or debate about their beliefs such that any reasonable person would conclude that they are tantamount to Nazis or communists?
I'm trying to differentiate the professor's over-reaction and yours. I'm not seeing any.
"I'm not seeing any."
I'm responsible for what I post, not for the lack of comprehension you evince, as a result of your biases.
The professor is both courageous and correct.
In the thread, I've given not only the case of the university employee forbidding any exchange of opinion beyond that advanced by the Liberal agenda, but included the administration of the university taking the very livelihood of anyone....the professor....who dares to make the Liberal fascism known.
But...in the vain hope that yours was an honest post.....I will post more on this case.
Your OP reads that it was the instructor was suppressing dissent.
The conservative student should be allowed to express her views even if it offends others. Universities should be bastions of free thought, not straight jackets of political correctness. It's appalling that liberal universities would shackle discussion because they don't want someone's feelings hurt.
But you undermine your argument with your outlandish extremism.
That a reasonable post....
As for my style.....I have no intention of becoming wishy-washy.
As far as 'extreme'....nonsense.
You've agreed with the OP.....we both agree it is the truth, and that is the purpose of all of my posts.Pretty much all of PoliticalChic's threads can be summed as:
"Demonize, Demonize, DEMONIZE!!!"
Well, in the case of Liberals, that is neither difficult nor untrue.

How many liberal professors work at conservative colleges?
Why not make the thread about ONE individual who happened to do this, instead of making a wholly indefensible argument that this one individual's actions are representative of liberalism in general?
Because the actions highlighted in the OP are representative of liberalism in general.
True story.
And the shoe fit....that's why you're squealing like a stuck pig.
I'm trying to debate you on the facts of the issue.
To be representative of liberalism in general, an action would have to be characteristic of most liberals' actions in the same scenario on the same issue.
Prove that, please.

Did you miss my post pointing out that the GOP wants to ban same sex marriage altogether, by law?
I'm waiting for your supported and documented post where you find the GOP depriving Liberals of the right to express opposing viewpoints.
That would have something to do with the thread,wouldn't it....
....rather than your nonstop attempts to obfuscate and change the subject.
I've noticed all you talk about in this thread is the generic notion of Universities "teaching liberalism" or "talking about liberalism" and never going much into detail as to "what" exactly they are teaching/talking about or WHY exactly they teach/talk about those issues.
If someone were to put on this forum a post vilifying some organization "teaching conservatism" in just the bare generic sense of "teaching conservatism" without any subjects or ideas to go behind it I'm pretty sure they'd be called out on it pretty fast.
To further on this there is a common saying that "truth has a liberal bias"

Joe, what precisely are you basing that conclusion upon.
I ask because there's nothing in the contribution which you cited as the subject of your conclusion, which could, on any level, lend to anything remotely akin to your conclusion. Such represents a a projection of unbridled conjecture.
My son just graduated college last fall from Florida Gulf Coast University, which exists in amongst the most conservative enclaves in the United States... and there's no potential foundation for an argument which claims that Academia, even in that University is not thoroughly infected with Leftist academics.
In truth scamp, it's not even a debatable point. Marxists have infected the US University System since Joe McCarthy RUINED himself trying to warn the nation of this... more than 60 YEARS AGO.

Liberalism, per this thread, is about depriving those with alternative views from having the right to express same.
Liberals are drawn to educate others, it's the primary weapon of choice, like it or not. The fact that most people who choose a path of educating others are liberal is not a coincidence, it's natural selection.
Conservatism relies on keeping people dumbed down (see: the south) and the more ignorant they are the better (see: fox news). Every facet of high education in this country is liberal....high tech companies? Liberal. Universities? Liberal. Large cities? Liberal. People with post-graduates? Liberal.
The real issue at hand you have is that there aren't "enough" conservative educators...that's your problem, not ours. Stop relying on ignorance and have solid, factual politics points to sell and maybe people will be more willing to be an educator for your policy ideas.
While you're at it if you stop relying on ignorance then maybe conservatives will finally have a mainstream comedian on their side for a change like Colbert or Maher.

Marquette TA sparks international controversy after squelching gay marriage discussion in ethics class - JSOnline
A controversy involving a teaching assistant, a tenured faculty member and a recorded conversation about whether gay marriage should have been allowed as part of a discussion in an ethics theory class has put Marquette University in the international spotlight.
A student who objected to a teaching assistant's handling of the class discussion recorded his conversation with her after class, shared that recording with several faculty members, and the recording took on a life of its own. It ended up being the subject of a faculty member's blog, and landed in the hands of a reporter for Inside Higher Ed, a national online source for news, opinions and jobs in higher education.
Now an open letter to Marquette's top administrators written and posted online by a Louisana State University professor in support of the teaching assistant is gathering co-signatures from professors and graduate students around the world. The first to co-sign it is Bonnie Honig, a feminist and prominent political science professor at Brown University.
"Even if everything printed were true and the grad student said and did everything attributed to her (which I do not grant), this response -- public calling out, exposure to public condemnation, political labeling-- by a faculty member violates every expectation of graduate training and collegiality," Honig wrote. "It is a betrayal of the trust invested in faculty to mentor and guide students, not to make of them casualties in larger battles whether inside or outside their institutions."
Marquette responded in an email to The Journal Sentinel that it is "reviewing both a concern raised by a student and a concern raised by a faculty member. We are taking appropriate steps to make sure that everyone involved is heard and treated fairly. In compliance with state and federal privacy laws, we will not publicly share the results of the reviews."
The ethics theory class and the recorded conversation with a student over whether gay marriage should have been allowed as part of the discussion occurred weeks ago.
The conflict became publicly ugly Nov. 9, when John McAdams, an associate professor of political science at Marquette, strongly criticized the teaching assistant on his conservative-leaning blog, Marquette Warrior, under the headline:“Marquette Philosophy Instructor: ‘Gay Rights’ Can’t Be Discussed in Class Since Any Disagreement Would Offend Gay Students.”
In his blog post, McAdams accused teaching assistant Cheryl Abbate of limiting free speech by “using a tactic typical among liberals now."
"Opinions with which they disagree are not merely wrong, and are not to be argued against on their merits, but are deemed ‘offensive’ and need to be shut up,” McAdams alleged.
Abbate reportedly had been leading a class discussion about the philosopher John Rawls’ equal liberty principle. That principle says every person has a right to as many basic liberties as possible, as long as they don’t conflict with those of others.
When she asked students to name possible violations of the principle, such as laws that require seat belts and laws that prevent people from selling their own organs, one student suggested that a ban on gay marriage violated the principle. Abbate quickly moved on to the next topic, as there were more nuanced examples to discuss before the end of class, according to an email interview with her that Inside Higher Ed reported.
After class, another student approached Abbate to tell her that he was “very disappointed” and “personally offended” that she hadn’t considered his classmate's example about gay marriage more thoroughly, according to the student’s recording of the conversation obtained by Inside Higher Ed.
Inside Higher Ed characterized that conversation as follows:
"The student said he had seen data suggesting that children of gay parents “do a lot worse in life,” and that the topic merited more conversation. Abbate told the student that gay marriage and parenting were separate topics, since single people can have and adopt children. She also said she would “really question” data showing poor outcomes for children of gay parents, since peer-reviewed studies show the opposite (indeed, the major study showing negative outcomes for children of gay parents, by Mark Regnerus, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Texas at Austin, has been widely discredited).
"Regardless, the student said, “it’s still wrong for the teacher of a class to completely discredit one person’s opinion when they may have different opinions.” Abbate responded: “There are opinions that are not appropriate, that are harmful, such as racist opinions, sexist opinions, and quite honestly, do you know if someone in the class is homosexual? And do you not think it would be offensive to them, if you were to raise your hand and challenge this?”
"The student then said it was his “right as an American citizen” to challenge the idea. Abbate told the student he didn’t, in fact, “have the right, especially [in an ethics class], to make homophobic comments or racist comments.”
"His opinions weren’t homophobic, the student argued. Abbate said he could have whatever opinions he liked, but reiterated that homophobic, racist and sexist comments wouldn’t be tolerated in the class. She said the class discussion was centered on restricting the rights and liberties of individuals, but said that making arguments against gay marriage in the presence of a gay person was comparable to telling Abbate that women's professional options should be limited. She invited him to drop the course if he opposed her policy.
...
Kind of sounds like a group of students and/or faculty contrived to set someting up.
Yes... a group of Leftists conspired (set sumpin' up) to squelch the means of those who oppose their 'feelings' to exercise their right to speak in opposition to the debauched perversion of human reasoning, OKA: Left-think.
Is the primary purpose of the Constitution to protect individual rights? Such as, the right of same sex marriage and the right to an abortion?
Marriage is the joining of one man and one woman.
Abortion is the morally unjustifiable taking of a pre-born human life... thus where a right is defined as that to which everyone is entitled... there can be NO POTENTIAL for a 'right' which precludes SOMEONE ELSE of exercising their rights.
Again... such is a VERY simple equation... yet there you are completely flummoxed by it.

1. You're a liar.....we established that earlier.
2. "...founder by Liberals,..."
Founded by classical liberals, based on individualism, free markets, and limited constitutional government.
Communist John Dewey stole the name 'liberal' and applied it to the Socialist party.
3. The rest of your post, straight from the junior high school boys bathroom, is proof that the truth of this thread struck a nerve and you have no cogent response to same.
4. Time and again, when folks like you realize they have been skewered, their language falls to the vulgar. It's one of those hard to hide psychological tells....your anger at being bested leaks out as vulgarity.
That is why I never have to do the same.
