F**K BUSH

[Sdiver]

Wow, it's been a busy time here in Colorado as of late, what with those kids walking out of class during the Pledge of Allegiance, at a school in the People's Republic of Boulder, and Firebeef's full moon shots over the mountains, now we've got this also going on.....


The editor-in-chief of the daily school newspaper at CSU in Ft. Collins, wrote an editorial with this head line.......FU*K BUSH, in bold type, about 3 inches high.

Here's the story.....

Is McSwane, the Editor, exercising his 1st amendment rights, or is he wrong in printing this? The collage Republicans, on the CSU campus, are calling for his resignation. So far, a majority of the ads have been pulled from the newspaper. The other day, the paper was printed in Black and white only, because they didn't have enough money to buy colored ink.

IMO, the guy has a right to say what he feels, but NOT in the manner he chose to do it, and should be suspended for awhile, but not fired.

The guy has an absolute right to free speech, just like the sponsors have a "right" to pull their advertising

Too often "freedom of speech" is confused with a misguided notion that they have a "right to be heard".

A most excellent point in this time of "entitlement" that seems pervasive in this generation.

From the last line of the CNN article:

"It makes the students at Colorado State look like a bunch of uneducated children who don't have anything intelligent to say," Penoyer said. "So we just yell bad words."

I cannot improve on that sentiment.

That is a sure indication that you have won the argument. First person to resort to name-calling loses.

Perhaps someone could mail him a Thesaurus to read during some newly found free time?

The school officials should respond in some fashion if they see this sort of thing as unacceptable. Not because of who was attacked in the article, but of the poor judgement shown in choosing how to go about the criticism.

Maybe its just me, but I see less & less value in a college education these days.

My nephew and his college buddies are a good example, can't seem to finish anything, indoctranated into a failed, leftist ideology, unable to support themselves (ie moving back in with parents) & not very damm grateful

Hell this kid was raised on farm and now he no longer eats meat,"because its bad for the planet". Lord knows if I suggest doing something useful like join the Army and be a paratrooper(USMC, Navy, AF, anything actually)....I'm the bad guy.

Sorry for the rant, I just get frustrated. I realize if someone goes to college TO GET AN EDUCATION, not "discover themselves or some other nonsense" its worthwhile. This kid is lost as a goose and I can't do a d#$% thing. Unfortunately there is too many like him.
