also bat-shit crazy.
How can this be?
Ever heard of context? Obviously, he was discussing the whole underlying leftist philosophy rather than just the specific issue of recycling.
But other Stalinist projects such as public schools and indoor clean air acts.
Your dumbest comment. I think you’re smarter than this, but if you really believe that recycling or anything else quoted here can appropriately be compared to the Nazis, perhaps you aren’t.
Ever heard of context? Obviously, the Beej has been making one long dumb comment here for months.
But his conviction that recycling equates to genocide adds important context to all his other comments, including the ones that sound “sane” out of context.
My point was exactly that he was NOT comparing recycling to genocide.
Add all the context you want, and that’s exactly what Beezley was doing.
Pure continuous context from “Recycling” to “Nazi killing”.
I guess you come by your ignorance honestly, BJ — you don’t have any reading comprehension skills either.
He’s a product of a socialist-inspired land grant university, so what do you expect?
I think one of those “Letters” is “B”.
The other is …….
If you actually read it, you will see that it goes through “philosophy of force”. Geez you guys are as dumb as a brick.
You must be such a delight to your students.
although some of them need to hear it. I assume a lot of those people who couldn’t pass a math class are on here, blogging from their parents’ basement after they flunked out of college.
Couldn’t pass that English class, eh?
if CSU offers a graduate program in physical education.
Is only for the left.
No one is limiting him or you from spitting up factless talking points, nor is anyone saying that idiotic candidates can’t compare recycling to death camps.
But we, the reality-based community, are likewise free to call it idiocy.
What does “free speech” have to do with anything? Nobody is saying this guy doesn’t have the right to make these statements. Anyone has the legal right to compare recycling to the Nazi regime, but that doesn’t mean it is a smart thing to do.
Beezley has the right to say whatever he wants, though it’s not going to help him get elected. The bigger point here is this: Didn’t Republicans do a quick online search to see if there were any problematic statements in Beezley’s background? The quotes above are not a partisan problem — they would be just as damaging if Beezley were a Democrat.
Speech comes with a cost. In Beezley’s case, the cost is his exposure as a nutcase.
We all have the right to free speech. But none of us have the luxury of speech free of consequences.
Like the folly of an ugly tattoo acquired in haste years earlier, words written in the ether will always be with us to paint a portrait of any person’s character.
A lesson many a youth today have yet to learn.
but how would you know? Have you researched his remarks and found the context you claim to be so obvious? Somehow I doubt it, just as you had no idea what cuts had taken place in Colorado Springs when you sniffed that surely there were plenty of things to be cut before police and street lights, though both had already been cut.
Once again, may I suggest…umm… looking things up? And once again may say a teacher who thinks it’s legitimate to claim this or that to be so based on absolutely nothing, no research, no fact checking, no personal knowledge, has no business teaching anyone anything. The idea of you as a professor someday would be laughable were it not so horrifying.
Glad to be of service. B.J. Wilson, scaring liberal parents since 1983.
B.J. Wilson, scaring ClubTwitty’s parents since 1983.
And when you were in diapers (assuming you still aren’t) I was already a man.
Damn Twitty. What really sucks is that soon we’ll be in diapers again.
I’ll just have to restrain my impulse to answer your inanities from now on. There really isn’t any more point than trying to have a discussion with a rock. You know you make ‘Tad look like a friggin genius, don’t you? Don’t bother to answer that. I’ve had some dumb teachers in my day but …just wow….
my financial support of Mr. Beezley was money well spent. Someday, the methane from landfills will power millions of homes.
I will do anything possible to get Don elected. It is refreshing to find someone who values liberty over leftism.
You’ll never know how many conservative professors are out there, just lying in wait for your kids.
He still thinks we are disturbed by the idea of a conservative professor, rather than by the idea of a teacher or professor with absolutely no idea how rational thought works. For a while I couldn’t help myself, like when you just have to slow down and look at an accident, but I’m done. Just not going to look anymore.
and some terrible liberal ones.
The former were smart and made me back up my points, modeling that behavior themselves. The latter uninterested in real discussion and argumentation.
That is the point. I would want my children exposed to good teachers of different political perspectives. I am not afraid of thoughts and ideas that differ from my own and wouldn’t raise my kids to be either. My own positions are more solid because of it.
and you can understand that and probably 99% or more of ColPol users can understand that but don’t waste your time trying to get he who I will never even mention again (hint: think Monica Lewinsky’s specialty) to understand it!
Anyone remember?
Moves to the OMG column. Nice work.
Somehow I expect Beezley will find some excuse to justify “trying to convince [gays and lesbians] to ‘live the right way…'” and “trying to convince [women who want to end their pregnancies] to ‘live the right way’.”
If Beezley had the courage of his convictions, he might be somewhat interesting. But as long as he opposes gay marriage and abortion, he’s just another typical Republican hypocrite.
