I used to watch TV news and yell at the box. Now I jump up from the couch, sit at the computer and begin to type laughing maniacally saying "Wait until they read this." It's more fun than squashing tadpoles

Court Backs Campus Military Recruiters


Universities in the US just can't bring themselves to accept views contrary to their own. With a large percentage of faculty carrying the torch for the moon bat left it's no wonder that they don't want military recruiters working on campus. There is one thing they hate more than that. It is loosing all that Federal grants and subsidies that make working as an academic so attractive to people who believe corporations and capitalism are evil. The Supreme Court has just given them a dose of reality. If take money from Washington, you will let Washington recruit for the military.

The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday that colleges that accept federal money must allow military recruiters on campus, despite university objections to the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays.

Justices rejected a free-speech challenge from law school professors who claimed they should not be forced to associate with military recruiters or promote their campus appearances.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the decision, which was unanimous.


If they feel so strongly against such recruiting they can go completely private and generate the finances they need by providing good value for the fee they charge. Only two problems with this however. It would mean allot of "Studies" classes would disappear, and the schools would have to engage in the "odious" capitalistic practice of competition. So to complete their hypocrisy they will continue to take the money, let the military recruit and mumble to themselves about the injustice of it all ignoring the fact that it is the military that makes it possible to make a living while being so ungrateful.

Most schools have made it clear that they could not afford to lose federal aid, which totals about $35 billion a year. Only a few schools -- including the law schools of New York University and George Washington University -- allowed their names to be publicly attached to the lawsuit.

If you remove gay and military from this ruling, it can be viewed differently. It is one of many instances where the government takes our money away and then portions it out based on "correct-thinking". Whether done by a government of the left or right, it is profoundly undemocratic. It suppresses the rights of states and communities and enforces orthodoxy. Federal money is a hammer. And the more money the bigger the hammer is.
