Students Across The Country Protest Fee Hikes

Mar 6, 2010 Political

Students across the country are protesting hikes in college tuition. The protests have become violent at times as students commit acts of vandalism and clash with police.

Decreased tax revenues and the tough economy have forced some jurisdictions to cut funding to schools and the difference will be made up in increased tuition.

So let’s get this straight, these kids are protesting a hike in fees because schools are not getting enough of our tax dollars to subsidize them. What would these students propose we do, raise taxes? Making us pay more so they do not have to would go over real well.

It is already a problem that taxes pay for higher education when many of the taxpayers are not benefiting from the expenditure.

However, I can understand the sentiment. People across the country are protesting higher taxes and an out of control big government. They are called the Tea Party.

The major differences; Tea Party members do not commit violence or vandalism and they are portrayed as villains by the Lame Stream Media.

Tell these kids to get a part time job or take fewer classes each year. Consider the experience an early start to what life is really like.

Riots At Berkekey Over Cuts and Tuition Increases

Feb 28, 2010 Political

The latte lapping liberals at Berkeley have their pink panties in a knot over cuts to the school that will cause a rise in tuition that the future anti war liberals will have to pay for their indoctrination. Berkeley is the place that is anti military and has hosted the code pinko crowd as it harassed military recruiters. The town had code pinko friendly rules and military unfriendly rules as recruiters were harassed and their station vandalized.

A late-night demonstration over budget cuts turned violent in Berkeley when protesters broke into a campus building, torched trash cans, smashed windows and threw rocks and bottles at police, authorities said Friday. Riehl World View

The Berkeley students are a bit upset that money from taxpayers will be cut and that their tuition will go up so they had a not so peaceful demonstration. These morons rioted, broke windows and set garbage cans on fire.

These are the people who want us to give peace a chance and stop fighting wars.

These are people who are cut from the molds of liberals who mock Tea Party members as radicals just because they want smaller government and lower taxes.

Yes, in liberal land (and to the DHS) those who peacefully protest to pay less in taxes are radical extremists and violent racist teabaggers who cannot live up to the level of civility exhibited by those on the elite left.

Yeah, and those in Berkeley lead the way.

Guess it is OK to be violent when your taxpayer assistance will be cut but not OK to peacefully protest when you want to pay less in taxes.

Only in America.

Keep in mind, the violence we have seen at protests is from those on the left. Usually lefties (and violent union thugs) attacking peaceful protesters on the right. That violence went way down when Tea Party protesters started (legally) bringing guns to the events.

Jesse Jackson Rides Bus To Spotlight Violence

Oct 13, 2009 Political

In the wake of the beating death of a black student (by other black students) in Illinois, the Revuum Jesse Jackson has taken to riding on one of the school buses there to highlight the violence that he calls a state of emergency.

“This is a state of emergency given patterns of violence and patterns of killing,” Jackson said in a news conference.

~snip~

“This is ground zero of the urban policy,” Jackson said of Altgeld Gardens. “We need jobs, intervention for jobs, education, the safe passage of these children, and a sense of hope.” CBS2 Chicago

For those unfamiliar, the student who was recently murdered was Derrion Albert. Albert was caught in gang related violence outside a community center and was struck in the head with a board and then kicked while he lay dying.

Violence is a big problem in Illinois, particularly in Chicago. There are plenty of murders there, many with illegal firearms but some, like this one, with other weapons. The problem is societal and all the laws in the world (gun control or otherwise) will not stop the violence. The child who died was black and he was murdered by other black students. Black on black crime is a serious problem in many cities.

But blacks are not the only victims. Recently, a white kid was beaten by a group of black kids on a school bus. This too, took place in Illinois.

Interestingly, the beating was not labeled a racially motivated crime and Jesse Jackson did not ride that bus to ensure the white child’s safety.

Given that this is Jesse Jackson, I’m sure he rode the short bus.

Patrick Kennedy Warns Of Violence

Sep 29, 2009 Political

From the right, of course

Representative Patrick Kennedy, the last Kennedy in political office and son of the late Ted Kennedy, is warning about violence because of the anger over the out of control government. He actually said it was about the health care debate and the example he gave dealt with that issue, but like all politicians he misses the bigger point. The debate is about out of control government.

Kennedy warned of the potential violence and used a sign he saw at a protest. Ten thousand signs bearing the words “Bury ObamaCare with Kennedy” were distributed at a protest by a group that opposes abortion. Patrick is of the opinion that this is disgusting and could lead to violence. After all, as he reminds us, his family has seen its share of violence. His uncles were assassinated and his father killed a woman. Of course, the 9-12 protest had nearly a million people in attendance and none of them were arrested. None of them committed crime and they cleaned up their trash when they left. The law breaking typically takes place when the left is involved in a protest.

I have no problem with the slogan. Ted Kennedy was the champion of government run health care and he claims to have made it his life’s work. The slogan indicates that we should bury his dream with him because the concept is a bad one.

I know that Patrick and others from the left will likely disagree and that is their right. I would find it hypocritical for those who used Ted Kennedy’s death to try and pass this health care takeover plan to oppose those who mention his death in wishing its defeat. Remember, Kennedy was not even cold when the Democrats were discussing doing it for him and fulfilling a dream he did not live to see.

To be upset with a slogan after that shameless display is beyond the pale.

The good news in it all is that Ted Kennedy has now been sober for 4 weeks.

Of course, that is assuming they do not serve scotch in Hell.

As an aside, where was Patrick Kennedy when the violence and hatred was directed at George Bush?

Pelosi Is Worried About Bloodshed

Sep 17, 2009 Political

The Democrats are losing the battle on health care take over and their agenda is falling apart. They have resorted to using the race card for every person who opposes any of their plans because any of us who oppose what Obama wants to do must be a racist. What were we when we opposed what Clinton wanted to do? He was, after all, the first black president.

Nancy Pelosi is now kicking into high gear and she is using her emotions and scare tactics (what did Obama say about that) to influence the public. Now she is worried about bloodshed because of the nasty rhetoric:

“I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw … I saw this myself in the late ’70s in San Francisco,” Pelosi said, choking up and with tears forming in her eyes. “This kind of rhetoric is just, is really frightening and it created a climate in which we, violence took place and … I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made.” Real Clear Politics

It was reported that she was talking about the incidents leading up to the murder of Harvey Milk.

Look at how Pelosi has portrayed peaceful people. These demonstrations against the government and its plans to take over our lives have been peaceful, for the most part. The violence has been perpetrated by the goons and thugs that Obama enlisted to quash dissent. His buddies in the SEIU beat people up. People on the right were not starting fights, his thugs were. The conservatives started carrying guns to the events and the violence stopped. Of course, the MSM focused on the gun “nuts” and not the reason they had to carry them (though many were just doing what they do every day). I don’t know of any anti government protester who bit off someone’s finger.

I did not hear Pelosi discuss the potential bloodshed when the anti war protesters were using language that was much more intense than that used by the protesters on the right. I never heard her discuss the potential bloodshed when Code Pinko and the others were carrying signs that indicated that George Bush should be hanged, or that they supported the troops when they shot their officers. Those were incitements to violence and Pelosi was quiet.

Pelosi is using dishonesty and emotion to change public opinion. The people protesting could certainly turn violent, as any group of people could, but they have demonstrated, thus far, that they are not interested in physical altercations. However, we fought one revolution over what this government is doing to us so it is not hard to believe that another one would happen. I would prefer a peaceful one where we just vote all the scum out of office. We are a long way from violence and assassinations and for Pelosi to assert that is nothing more than fear mongering.

The whole idea of violence because of the protests against the gays in San Francisco leading to Milk’s death is wrong. Milk and Mayor Moscone were killed by a man who wanted his job back, was initially told he would get it and then was told that they wanted someone else who was more in line with the ethnic diversity of the area. Dan White shot them because he did not get his job back (he had resigned from it) and his violence had nothing to do with the protests that Pelosi is discussing.

This is what we are up against. Pelosi is a moron who needs to be voted out of office in the next election. If the people of her district put her back in office it needs to be as part of the minority party.

Folks, if you want a better government you cannot keep voting the same people back in office. They are a bunch of corrupt, self-serving, leeches who care little about what you, the people they represent, want.

UPDATE: Isn’t it interesting that after spending all of August calling protesters un-American and belittling them, Pelosi is now worried that talk will lead to violence?
