Higher education is highly over-rated.

Two words :

Technical college.

Un-freakin-believable.

I know every generation probably says this, but damn, we're in trouble.

They'd invite hitler. Have they invited Bush?

re: #1 Canadian Guy

Yes there are:

"Subversion"

"Treason"

"Subterfuge"

"Ideological Warfare"

re: #1 Canadian Guy

Disgusting!

They'd give him tenure,too.

Next thing we know is that he has invited Ron Paul (to make a trifecta.)

What's he trying to prove?

This implies that Hitler had legitimacy. That he had ideas worth listening to and considering. That he was a thinker that deserved a forum, and that his plans may have some validity.

Why do they think its OK to pay respect to criminals?

But if you represent the Minutemen or are Military recruiters - the answer is a definitive NO.

But of course, the ROTC is illegitimate. Not like that peaceful Adolph guy.

re: #14 brakes

What's he trying to prove?

He's proving the he makes no moral judgements. That's the foundation of multiculturalism and moral equivalence.

There is no question in my mind students are leaving the school in droves, transferring, parents are no longer paying. What good use can we put those buildings after the school closes? Just thinking ahead.

Perhaps a War College? A museum to document real, not revisionist, history perhaps?

Well, they can't, because the putz killed himself, when he realized "all was lost."

As to Columbia, they certainly can invite whomever they like. "Whatever brings an audience," I suppose?

But they are without taste.

And, other than they're expecting those who buy their credentials, to pay through the nose for them; exactly how far are they actually getting on affirmative action?

Dan Rather, also, doesn't know he shot his wad.

Of course this may seem good and well in a vacuum, but this University, and i use the term loosely, does not allow army recruiters, has no ROTC, has harassed Christian clubs unmercifully, is openly anti-Israel and pro-Islam, takes money from Saudi Arabia and operates the most liberal and useless journalism school in the Nation, a school that is a disgrace to news reporting.

Hi lizardot and lizardim,

I know as well as any of us how depressing that can be, and, before I go hit the sack, I'd just like to bring a post of mine I wrote long ago (in blogging terms; December 20, 2006, to be accurate) as a cautious consolation about the future:

Potentially A Great Generation

I hope I'm right in that post; in any case, seeing all those pieces that make you feel like tearing your hair out, I wanted to do my part in bringing a little optimism.

Good night, lizards.

re: #29 mama winger

I recently dated a girl like that. Brilliant Korean, 34 years old. Still a student, and still not sure what she wanted to do.

10 years in American universities warped her mind. She worshiped her fart-smelling professors and anything they told her... most of which was re-cycled anti-capitalist drech.

All while getting deeper into debt.

Needless to say, it didn't work out.

Too true -- just ask David Horowitz, Ann Coulter or any number of right-of-center political figures.

Columbia, home of the Frankfurt School, where the modern dialetic method was perfected: thesis - antithesis - synthesis.

When you are in charge of the synthesizing, you can change the direction of things; two steps "progressively" forward, one step back. It might take you twice as long to get there, but you still get there, and few people are the wiser.

In this case, they know Iran is going down over it's nuke program, and because they hate America and capitalism so much they are willing to believe every petty thug who lays claim to past American wrongs, they will do everything they can to head off that conflict.

In their idealistic little minds, having an anti-American, vaguely anti-capitalist theocratic regime with nuclear weapons is a good thing, because they think helping out the petty thugs will get them closer to a brave new socialist world.

Too bad the thugs tend to liquidate the idealists whenever their power becomes secure.

And what scrutiny will Ahmadinutjob face from faculty? Nada, zip, zippo, zilch! You can bet many are supporting this, especially from the Middle Eastern Studies Department. And in the 1930s, much of the faculty at that time would have been receptive to Der Fuhrer too.

OT

Sorry but I need some good news!

His name is Staff Sgt. Chad Malmberg. And he is the FIRST Minnesota National Guardsman to be awarded the Silver Star since World War II. This young sergeant, leading 15 of his men on a convoy in Iraq was attacked by insurgents and in almost movie-like form, he left his vehicle to stand in the line of fire to heave grenades, to fire a shoulder mount rocket and direct air cover.

The President of Columbia University isn't worthy of licking Staff Sgt. Malmberg's boots.

Here's the story

re: #41 astronmr20

She must have been very pretty :)

But would they invite George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Rush Limbaugh, or Ann Coulter?

I think not.

These so-called Freedom of Speechers (to coin a term) have not really thought things through very carefully. They are inhabitants of a bubble. Surely there's some Twilight Zone episode that gives an analogy of the kinds of intellectual lives these foolish people lead.

If my children were looking for colleges now, I would be extra careful not to send them to a moonbat school. At the time my children went to college, post-modernism was just getting its death grip on the humanities. I didn't recognize it at the time, but now I understand what was going on--the "narrative" and all.

I can guarantee that future historians will regard this era in the same way they wrote about Madam Blavatsky and the phrenologists.

Of course the whole thing is Ant-americanism but in their minds if they let ROTC on campus then they'd have to openly allow Al Qaeda recruiters for the insurgency.

Got three questions:

1.) Does Columbia receive any fed funding? And I do mean any... like tuition grants, research, etc., etc.

2.) Where is the voice of their older alumni? (Or are even the older alums of the same ilk?)

3.) Have their contributions, donations, endowments (whether by alums or from outsiders) dropped off at all?

Actually this is nothing new. We all know the U.S University system has always embraced the ideology du jour. First Bolshevism , then Nazism, now Jihadism. Harvard was an avid supporter of the 3rd Reich.

Really any belief that has at its core jewish genocide.

Good one, but for LLLs, questions like that just go in one ear and get lost.

In 1939. the "Nobel" committee selected Hitler for their top prize.

Sometimes, the stupidity of it all remains as surprising as ever.

Hilter passes the Columbia "smell test." What were they smelling? Affirmative Action "heroes?"

Sez more about the dean than you can imagine.

Allowing Hitler -- or Ahmadinejad -- to speak at an US university would be an abomination. By this, it is as if they have speech fit to be heard in decent / civilized society and a viewpoint that merits our hosting and legitimation. It is sheer weakness and complicity in the evil by Columbia. Hitlers and Mahmouds can speak well enough from their own totalitarian, brutalized nations. Treating genocidal, sworn enemies and state sponsors of terror as though they are legitimate actors in the public and political spheres, whose speechs we ought to host and have respectful dialogue with, is categorically wrong. That is no way to treat true evil and thuggery.

Why can't we question their patriotism again?

Bush Derangement Syndrome, Advanced (BDSA): A syndrome of acquired malformations and lesions of brain tissue, characterized by intense autophobia (hatred of self and the group to which one belongs), transference of autophobia to a charismatic individual, cultural alienation, paranoia, pathological lying, prolific swearing, severe mood swings, public nudity, and a cult-like adherance to transcendental idealism.

The advanced stage of the disease is marked by self-destructive behavior, whereby the damage caused by each act of self-sabotage is attributed to the charismatic target. This robs the sufferer of the ability to recognize the true source of damage, thus treatment is rarely sought. The advanced stage of the disease is usually fatal.

The disease is contagious and is transfered orally. Children and young people between the ages of twelve and twenty-five attending public schools have a significantly high risk of contracting BDS. As always, self-education is the key to prevention.

Here was her letter that she copied me on today:

To: secretary@columbia.edu

Dear Sir,

As a past Alumni of Columbia, I am appalled at the University allowing the
president of a terrorist regime to set foot on the campus. It does not
matter how strong your forum will be. He is an enemy of the U.S and
responsible for the death of many of our soldiers fighting for mine and your freedom in this war on terrorism.

It is an abuse of your freedom to sanction a terrorist on the Campus under the guise of a Global Forum, regardless of how strong you or the
International studies dept. feels this will benefit the Campus.

This is a slap in the face of every American, and a degradation of Columbia University.

Neither myself nor my friends who are Alumni will continue to support the University.

Please forward to the President of Columbia and the trustees as I do not
have their e-mail.

Signed sincerely,
(my Mom)

This discussion reminds me of what we were talking about on a previous thead - recruitment.

If colleges and universities promote anti-Americanism, and are outright hostile to all things military, it is going to become harder and harder to reach college-age young people as far as encouraging military service. The Left will rob us of our potential heros, people like ornery elephant referenced above.

Parents - have you talked to your children about the idea of a career in military service? Or even a four-year stint? Do it.

Hilary's mentor, the legendary radical Saul Alinsky, said this about revolution:

"There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and chance the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer work inside the system,

Education is a critical part of our system; hence the infiltration of secret communists to the academy for the past century and their dominance of it now.

He was University Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, and is regarded as a founding figure in postcolonial theory.

"On July 3, 2000, Said was photographed lobbing a rock across the Lebanon-Israel border.

Although Said denied aiming the rock at Israeli soldiers, an eyewitness account in the Lebanese newspaper As-Safir asserted that Said had positioned himself less than 30 feet from Israeli soldiers manning a two-story watchtower before throwing the rock over the border fence, though it instead hit barbed-wire. "One stone tossed into an empty space scarcely warrants a second thought", he later said, labeling the stone-throwing as "a symbolic gesture of joy". The stoning was witnessed by Israel-based television journalist Dennis Zinn, who suggested "the Lebanese line up and wait to throw their rocks until soldiers and civilians are exposed."

While the photo provoked criticism from some Columbia faculty and students as well as from the Anti-Defamation League, the provost issued a statement defending Said's act on the grounds of freedom of expression, a position echoed by his supporters on campus.

re: #77 mama winger
Yes, it's one thing to study Hitler and read his books for good purposes and another to give him quarter and a platform of any kind. It's a very basic idea that you just don't lend support of any kind, such as allowing them to speak a university, to figureheads of evil. Any possible good that might result from that is far-outweighed by the original moral failing regarding the evil they do.

Just a few days ago a Columbia University student group nixed the appearance of Jim Gilchrist, Minuteman Project co-founder. See the story:

Columbia student union nixes speaker and founder of anti-illegal immigration group

NEW YORK: The founder of the Minuteman Project, who was forced off a Columbia University stage by protests last year, will not come for a return engagement after all.

A nonpartisan student group that had invited Jim Gilchrist, head of the anti-illegal-immigration group, to a forum next month, said on its Web site Tuesday that "it has become clear that this event cannot take the form we had originally hoped."

The Columbia Political Union said in its statement that the event "could not effectively accomplish the goals we had hoped it might."

Gilchrist said in a telephone interview that he was surprised at the decision, saying he had already bought airplane tickets for the event.

"I think Columbia is making a serious mistake," he said. "The CPU originally had a majority wanting me to come there. The deans wanted me to come there," although he said he always expected resistance from the student body.

Invite Ahmadinejad and Hitler, dis-invite Gilchrist. This is not the same school that graduated Pat Buchanan years ago, fo sho.

Charles, lots of new registrants don't know about the Friday Night Massacre and the follow thru.

Israelis seized nuclear material in Syrian raid

Israeli commandos seized nuclear material of North Korean origin during a daring raid on a secret military site in Syria before Israel bombed it this month, according to informed sources in Washington and Jerusalem.

The attack was launched with American approval on September 6 after Washington was shown evidence the material was nuclear related, the well-placed sources say.

They confirmed that samples taken from Syria for testing had been identified as North Korean. This raised fears that Syria might have joined North Korea and Iran in seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.

Israelis seized nuclear material in Syrian raid

Israeli commandos seized nuclear material of North Korean origin during a daring raid on a secret military site in Syria before Israel bombed it this month, according to informed sources in Washington and Jerusalem.

The attack was launched with American approval on September 6 after Washington was shown evidence the material was nuclear related, the well-placed sources say.

They confirmed that samples taken from Syria for testing had been identified as North Korean. This raised fears that Syria might have joined North Korea and Iran in seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.

This young sergeant, leading 15 of his men on a convoy in Iraq was attacked by insurgents and in almost movie-like form, he left his vehicle to stand in the line of fire to heave grenades, to fire a shoulder mount rocket and direct air cover.

The President of Columbia University isn't worthy of licking Staff Sgt. Malmberg's boots.

Columbia appoints another anti-Israel Dean
by Jerry Gordon

When former Dean of Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA), Lisa Anderson resigned in a huff and returned to the faculty after the kerfuffle of her inviting Mad Mahdist Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad on the eve of Rosh Ha Shanah last fall, you might have thought things might improve with appointment of her successor. Not the case. Instead, Professor John H. Coatsworth, currently Monroe Gutman Professor of Latin American Affairs at Harvard’s David Rockefeller Center got the nod. Coatsworth is a noted scholar on Latin American economic and international history and past President of the American Historical Association.

Notwithstanding his Latin Americn expertise, Professor Coatsworth signed the anti-Israel Harvard divestment petition.

While at Chicago University in 1990, Professor Coatsworth weighed in on a Chicago public library controversy regarding a reading list put together by a virulently anti-Israel librarian, David Williams and contested by the ADL. Coatsworth, chairman of the University of Chicago history department at the time wrote the head of Chicago’s library commission: “For the general reader, Williams [the anti-Israel librarian at the center of the controversy] has put together an extremely useful and carefully balanced works on this important topic. As usual, Mr. Williams work conforms to the highest standards of professionalism. Criticisms by groups like [the ADL] with strongly partisan sympathies in respect to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict should, in my judgment, be dismissed out of hand.”

Having attended patently anti-Israel events at Columbia’s SIPA, Professor Coatsworth will no doubt be welcomed with open arms by like minded faculty. People like Rashid Khalidi, Joseph Massad and the shame of sister institution Barnard College, Nadia Abu El-Haj

So when I suggested that Joseph Goebbels would be guest speaker in the Spring Term a couple of days ago in a post here, I didn't realize how morally ch anallengedd mindboggingly stupid today's crop of academic truly can be.
Why, they'd have a forum too, with Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot if they could. With questions from the audience, natch: "So, Herr Hitler, when you speak of eradicating Europe's Jews, you are speaking metaphorically, of course?"
But then in NYC, they'd send out for food too.

re: #15 mama winger

This implies that Hitler had legitimacy. That he had ideas worth listening to and considering. That he was a thinker that deserved a forum, and that his plans may have some validity.

To the Left, he did.

The mind boggles.

It is way past time for all Columbia supporters to start withholding alumni checks. Columbia alums, these whackjobs are doing damage to your alma mater. You can force a change, and if Columbia is to be anything other than a backwater laughing stock, you need to take action immediately.

Freedom of speech is important. Giving homicidal maniacs a platform from which to speak shows a deep and profound misunderstanding of free speech.

And this is being done with your donations, in your name.

All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to sit idly by.

Evil is in ascendancy at Columbia. Don't sit idly by.

re: #76 Charles

It is not a selective quote. Those are the exact words he said.

Sure, he also said "if he were willing to engage in a debate," as anyone can hear for themselves simply by following the link and watching the video. But this in no way changes the meaning of what he said.

Your missing my point. The "plenty of platforms" statement was in deference to Columbia. Hitler would of found many venues such as the League of Nations or a pro-nazi group in the US. He is making a distinction that Columbia would hold him to a higher standard by engaging him in debate.

Of course that won't happen with the Iranian president; the faculty will most likely swoon over him.

My mother is a Columbia grad. Med school. She's an R.N.

Here was her letter that she copied me on today:

To: secretary@columbia.edu

Dear Sir,

As a past Alumni of Columbia, I am appalled at the University allowing the
president of a terrorist regime to set foot on the campus. It does not
matter how strong your forum will be. He is an enemy of the U.S and
responsible for the death of many of our soldiers fighting for mine and your freedom in this war on terrorism.

It is an abuse of your freedom to sanction a terrorist on the Campus under the guise of a Global Forum, regardless of how strong you or the
International studies dept. feels this will benefit the Campus.

This is a slap in the face of every American, and a degradation of Columbia University.

Neither myself nor my friends who are Alumni will continue to support the University.

Please forward to the President of Columbia and the trustees as I do not
have their e-mail.

Signed sincerely,
(my Mom)

Good for her. I wish that it made a difference. People with this mindset see her, and us, as simply too dumb, too ignorant, too unimportant to see the importance of thier smarter way of seeing things.

Yes. In my opinion, if the Southern states had voted for secession, and organized a government, and then through diplomatic channels requested the withdrawl of Union outposts throughout the Southern US, they would have been completely within the US Constitution as it existed at the time.

BTW, Sam Houston, Texas hero, as governor, opposed secession, but when it was inevitable, preferring not to join the CSA, proposed secession back to an independent Republic, as it has been after the defeat of Mexico at San Jacinto. But the Texas legislature demanded all office holders sign an oath of loyalty to the CSA, Houston refused, and was impeached and removed from office as governor of Texas.

I wonder if they would be so forthcoming if Bush or Cheney wanted to speak. I could only imagine the reaction! These Columbia creatures are despicable.

#94 Charles
One of the reasons I never used to comment here was because of 90% of the GCP crowd - every open registration became a 'troll hunt' where newbies with opinions they didn't agree with got trounced - The Friday open thread was a place the clique would get together to collectively slam anyone they didn't like, and if they couldn't get the person to leave by attacking them on every thread then they would call for your ban stick.
When not hiding behind their moral authority of having an account the longest, they would always be whining about someone they didn't like ruining LGF. They thought they were the life of the party at LGF, and that it wouldn't survive without them. Well it did.

When Maliki went after Blackwater, I saw this as an act of desperation.

They can't smell.

re: #66 Yank in the EU

Allowing Hitler -- or Ahmadinejad -- to speak at an US university would be an abomination. By this, it is as if they have speech fit to be heard in decent / civilized society and a viewpoint that merits our hosting and legitimation. It is sheer weakness and complicity in the evil by Columbia. Hitlers and Mahmouds can speak well enough from their own totalitarian, brutalized nations. Treating genocidal, sworn enemies and state sponsors of terror as though they are legitimate actors in the public and political spheres, whose speechs we ought to host and have respectful dialogue with, is categorically wrong. That is no way to treat true evil and thuggery.

They also speak more honestly from those venues, and I doubt that most of Dinnerjacket's Columbia audience will be aware of what he says at home.

re: #34 ZionistYoungster

Hi lizardot and lizardim,

I know as well as any of us how depressing that can be, and, before I go hit the sack, I'd just like to bring a post of mine I wrote long ago (in blogging terms; December 20, 2006, to be accurate) as a cautious consolation about the future:

Potentially A Great Generation

I hope I'm right in that post; in any case, seeing all those pieces that make you feel like tearing your hair out, I wanted to do my part in bringing a little optimism.

Good night, lizards.

Thank you for that outstanding read...I have forwarded the link to many who will enjoy your wisdom...

BTW, Texas is playing Rice. A Division 1 football school with less than 3,000 students.

Gotta respect that, when schools like Texas State University-San Marcos have almost seven times the enrollment, and doesn't play the big boys.

I think even John F Kennedy, expressed admiration for Texas playing Rice.

BTW, not even 20 years ago, at the height of Texas' footballs decline, Rice beat Texas. That would normally be an Appy State-Michigan upset, but during the McWilliams and Mackovich years Texas had several 6-5 and 5-6 seasons.

I fell asleep in America and have woken up in PC Moral Relativism land...Can I have my Thundercats, Transformers, Ghostbusters, Smurfs, looney toons, and Gummy Bears back on Saturday morning, and weekly afternoons? That was a time when things seemed right to me and I was living in blissful ignorance...

When people/towns/city's/states/nations have no compass or principle, but simple secular cold pseudo-academia it is time for something to be done...I wonder if I want my ignorance back...but alas, there is a fight to fight and we need to step up.

Have as good a weekend as is possible giving the state of things...bye.

Israelis seized nuclear material in Syrian raid

Israeli commandos seized nuclear material of North Korean origin during a daring raid on a secret military site in Syria before Israel bombed it this month, according to informed sources in Washington and Jerusalem.

The attack was launched with American approval on September 6 after Washington was shown evidence the material was nuclear related, the well-placed sources say.

They confirmed that samples taken from Syria for testing had been identified as North Korean. This raised fears that Syria might have joined North Korea and Iran in seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.

/big brass balls

Yup, and no wonder Syria has been relatively quiet about it. If the IDF can seize nuclear material from what has to be one of the most secure sites in Syria. Then they can pretty much go and do anything, anywhere in Syria.

I'm sure Bashar al-Assad has difficulty sleeping.

I've always had a soft spot for Rice. Small school, they keep emphasis on academics, for their athletes as well. Academically, it's always rated as one of the best in the country, as well as a best for the money. I looked into going there when I was in HS. I decided that while I could get in, I probably would have never managed to stay in.

re: #32 pat

Of course this may seem good and well in a vacuum, but this University, and i use the term loosely, does not allow army recruiters, has no ROTC, has harassed Christian clubs unmercifully, is openly anti-Israel and pro-Islam, takes money from Saudi Arabia and operates the most liberal and useless journalism school in the Nation, a school that is a disgrace to news reporting

Strangely enough, most of them do not consider themselves leftists or ultra liberal, feeling instead they are mainstream and moderate. They work with others like them, socialize with others like them, and only associate with others that feel as they do. They don't feel they are to the left of the political spectrum as everyone they know or deal with are of the same school of thought. The very few people they encounter that are the slightest bit to the right of the spectrum are thought to be anomalies and radicals.
These same people feel the MSM are in fact too conservative in their points of view, not liberal; which is why they find FOX News so radically to the Right in their viewpoint. This perspective obviously carries over in all phases of their social and business life.

The DKOS comments on Blackwater get so many things so egregiously wrong that it's ridiculous. To discuss or correct them here though would only allow them to re-tune their attack, so I'm not going to do it.

No Place at the Table

In November of 1998, Columbia University President George Rupp dispatched a team of security guards to keep students interested in a conservative conference from meeting on campus. Participants in Accuracy in Academia's "A Place at the Table: Conservative Ideas in Higher Education" learned that only liberals have a place at Columbia's table when their meeting was kicked off-campus and forced to reconvene in a park. This, despite the fact that a contract had been signed, the meeting space had been paid for, and the event had been planned three months in advance. A mob of activists protested the event, which featured Ward Connerly, and shouted down author Dinesh D'Souza as he attempted to speak in an alcove overlooking Morningside Park. Chanting "Ha! Ha! You're Outside, We Don't Want Your Racist Lies," demonstrators held up signs bragging of their accomplishment, which read ACCESS DENIED and WE WIN: RACISTS NOT ALLOWED AT COLUMBIA. "This is an alcove where homeless people sleep and piss," student Franklin Amoo stated. "I'll do whatever needs to be done [to stop the conference] in order to make sure they know their sentiments are not shared." Salmon Rushdie, Khalid Muhammed, and Angela Davis have all spoken on the New York campus without "security" concerns trumping free speech rights. Yet the only instance of a conservative event on the campus in recent memory elicits a ban handed down by the school's president, who happens to be an outspoken advocate of racial preferences.

Last year they actually played in a bowl game. Ok, the mid-December R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl against Troy State, but still. Their football players are real students, many are on athletic scholarships but there are no 'Parks & Recreation' or 'Kineseology' degree programs there.

Of course, with less than 1500 male undergrads, anyone with good grades, not football scholarship material, but decent on the HS team, the walk on 'Rudy' thing is very possible.
