Liberty University students faced $10 fine if they skipped Ted Cruz presidential speech

[braces_for_impact]

Ted Cruz is so pig-ignorant it boggles the imagination. The fucker has the audacity to have dreams of sitting in the oval office.

Ted Cruz compares climate change activists to ‘flat-Earthers.’

On the plus side, listening to his father preach a sermon encourages the distinct feeling of being lectured by a crack head Ricky Ricardo.

I mean people show up for people they want to see without being extorted.

Yeah, but you could have chosen a better example than a woman who got away with being accessory to several counts of kidnapping and murder.

 

[Derec]

Really this person I never heard of is a role model? Over an event that happened 45 years ago?

An event which she turned into a pretty successful activist career as well as an academic one since universities decided to hire left wing radicals as professors.

And that somehow is the same as blathering idiot Ted Cruz?

He is a Harvard graduate, just like Obama. You'd be a fool to underestimate him. He'll probably not end up getting the nomination but "blithering idiot" he isn't.

Please cite which professors were hired by which universities specifically because of the cited person and events and are have still not retired. Or something close. Why? Because this sounds like something you want to believe, not something that actually happened and was widespread and is still relevant.

I have no idea what this means. I would never underestimate a blathering idiot because their idiocy can make them very dangerous.

Why the caveat that they not be retired? In any case, UC Boulder had Ward Churchill as department head for years even though he only had a MS degree (and that in "communications"). Kathy Boudin, a Weather Underground terrorist, was recently hired by Columbia U. Another WU terrorist, Bill Ayers was professor at U of Chicago. And that's just a few examples.

He isn't an idiot. However he is playing the role of one... and is entirely at the beck and call of someone else's agenda. Cruz didn't become radical Cruz until a Republican Primary run off required it.

I wonder. When universities have talks those are usually open to the public which makes it much more likely you'll get good attendance. This was a university convocation. Are only Liberty students allowed to attend?

- - - Updated - - -

If not, although their requirements are mindbogglingly ludicrous, I'm finding it hard to drum up sympathy. If you voluntarily join a club that will curtail your freedom and force you to do boring, shit things for no reason and then fine you if you don't, you probably have a mental illness. Actually, I do have sympathy for the mentally ill.

Could be that a "Christian college" is the only higher education mommy and daddy would pay for. I wonder how many Liberty students are attending relatively reluctantly.

I went to a Christian College. Many people go to Christian Colleges. Most Christian Colleges of note aren't nuts like Liberty.

Well, Angela Davis recently spoke at UNC-Wilmington. Tickets were gone in about a half hour after they were made available. No threats necessary.

You mean the woman who gave a shotgun to a 17 year old in order for him to try to bust her murderer boyfriend out of a courthouse?

Ted Cruz sucks, but the Left has even weirder role models and idols.

Who the hell is Angela Davis and when did she become my idol? My particular idols include slave owner Thomas Jefferson, Socialist Eugene Debs, and evolution/socialist defender Clarance Darrow.

I don't see the direct connection as Ward. Boudin is an adjunct professor that teaches social-work (returning from prison- which she would know) part time still no direct connection. Bill Ayers who works with work in education reform, curriculum, and instruction?- no connection there.

My my I guess the boogeyman is really in charge of the left.

I do know of one more that would make your orgasm repeatedly for hours, but federal laws prevent me from releasing information.

Not pig-ignorant.

He's just repeating Republican Cannon Law. I'm sure the establishment knows better than the things he said but they are campaigning to win the Duck Dynasty vote. Winning is far more important than being correct.

I do not get why it so hard for people to think that Cruz is simply a kook?

Graduating from Harvard just means you graduated from Harvard. Do smart people graduate from Harvard? Yes. Do idiots? Yes.

Now when a man is constantly saying dumb shit things, it is a pretty safe bet that he's a dumb shit. A tree is known by its fruits and this fool's fruits are pieces of dumb shit.

If my stint at UNC taught me nothing else, it taught me that a man who is a brilliant medical school student and then goes on to be a brilliant doctor can still be an absolute incompetent in every other aspect of his life.

Cruz could have gotten all As in his course of study and still be a candidate for the laffing academy.

Harvard has a school of Divinity. You can actually become a Doctor of Divinity from Harvard.

It is the Moore-Coulter fallacy.

Ya, but you still just start out with the same Level 1 spell casting abilities that a cleric who got his Doctorate of Divinity from a State school has but are saddled with about $100,000 more debt. If the price bought you more advanced healing powers or some decent offensive magic, it would be worth it but you're hiding behind the fighters for a while until you get some decent XP in either case, so it's just added debt for nothing.

Goddamned commies are everywhere nowadays.

It would be if Moore gave a shotgun to a teen to free his girlfriend from a courthouse and Coulter didn't.

Perhaps we can use Davis-Cruz as a reverse Moore-Coulter?

 

[SimpleDon]

Ted Cruz can't possibly win the Republican nomination. He has a birther problem. He admits that he was born in a foreign country, Canada, with a foreign father, who was Cuban, a goddamned communist no less.

I bet that the principled birthers of the Republican party are itching to put their talons into him. Donald Trump probably has already dispatched investigators to Calgary to try to break through the nearly impenetrable Canadian bureaucracy.

Wrong on all counts.

Moore-Coulter is about a inequivalency due to partisan blindness of the right...

...ie comparing some person most liberals have never heard of (stating they are idolized by the left) with a Republican Presidential Candidate and elected US Senator.

I'm thinking more of a McVeigh-Dumbass for those bringing up irrelevant right-wing analogies. That about the jest of it.

This isn't that unusual. If you invite a big name speaker, and the auditorium is half empty, it's embarrassing. So many institutions use variations on this tactic to ensure that the auditorium is full, and that they can continue to invite famous and/or influential people to speak.

I'm not saying it's right, but it is quite common.

If you invite a big name speaker, and the auditorium is half empty, then your speaker is not as big a name as you thought.

That is embarrassing, but that's OK; Making a tit of yourself by claiming to be a big name (or for that matter, by booking someone as a big name when he really is not) should be embarrassing.
