Some things are just plain wrong.

Men having babies - wrong!

Paying a man to speak seditious words and undermine the very government that writes his paycheck - wrong again!

Freedom of speech, particularly the political and religious speech that we prize so highly, should be afforded every human being.  With only minor exceptions for inciteful speech, people ought to be able to speak their minds freely and without fear.  That includes condemning America and her government's policies.  It includes speech expressing anger and hate for the military and the commander in chief.  It even includes waging a personal war against this nation.  What is does not include is a government funded platform or an institutional endorsement, implied, if not explicitly stated,  through silent tolerance. 

If you feel that Americans should not pay a salary to people who declare themselves threats to national security,  please take a stand and read about one way you can announce to our institutions of higher education that you are tired of being taxed to subsidize terrorist rhetoric.

From this week's blogburst for academic accountability:

Lover of Angels, apparently known to some as Dr. Julio C. Pino of Kent State University has attracted the gaze of anti-terrorist activists.  While LOA hasn't shown anything but reasonable deference in his comments on this blog, (much obliged, Dr.)  he has definitely used his own blog, global-war, as a stump for pro-islamofascism.  His anti-American writings have many readers incensed and determined to see him removed from his post as a professor at a public university in Ohio.  For a look at the petition making its way around the country, click here

As an Army wife myself, I admit to being particularly disturbed by LOA's calls for the death of American troops.  In one post, he prays for a hurricane of fire "to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their infidel dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire"
 
His poetry includes descriptions of the sailors who were bombed on the USS Cole.  "The heads, arms, legs and other limbs of the bodies of the infidels flew like dust particles into outer space."
 
And if that doesn't give enough cause for alarm, he republishes previously released terror manual excerpts in his post, "How can I train myself for Jihad?"

  3. Cate and everyone else that is posting about this idiot: I have forwarded this on to local tv and radio stations. I have also forwarded this on to as many local military people as I can. I am in process of sending it to my Senators as well as the Fort Bragg leaders (if I can get email addresses) as well as the local papers to include the Paraglide (Fort Bragg Paper). As a song that my daughters love says: "If the squeaky wheels' always gettin the grease then I totally devoted to disturbing the peace." I say we squeak as loudly as possible and get this guy arrested. I also called Kent State Human Resources and asked if the thought that they could be charged as an accessory to treason might help to get this guy fired. She responded that the ACLU (?) would just come to his aid. I am beginning to hate them for defending even the wrong because it will further their name in the headlines. Anyway, let me know what else I can do to "Squeak"

  6. Just so you all know, the ACLU refused to take my calls today. WOW!

  7. Hint....the only free speech the ACLU is interested in protecting is their own hot air.

  9. I'm confused. How do you know that the global-war.bloghi.com blog belongs to Lover of Angels? I looked at it carefully and I can't find any reference to him.

  10. Peter,
    His online moniker used to be "Lover of Angels" and he has emailed some of the other bloggers using a traceable email account. I've see the screen shots. The dangers of free site trackers... little brother is watching.

  12. Peter,
    A mouse click can change your online name and avatar.

    When this post was written, nearly a year ago, he was using Lover of Angels as his online name and I haven't kept count but I think he's changed his picture 3 or 4 times since then.

    The best blogger to ask if you have questions about Global War is over at Elmer's Brother (linked on my blogroll).

  13. NO...YOU CANT "BAN" HIM...IF YOU DO THAN YOU OPEN THE DOOR TO "SKI" DOWN YOUR OWN DEMISE RIGHT ON INTO YOUR OWN SILENCE AND CONDEMNATION BY YOUR OWN WORDS !!! THINK ABOUT IT....

  15. elect the government officials that will meet you at the town hall meeting locally and have websites that "poll" the audiences for opinions of the topics up for vote in " a short while"....AND WILL TAKE YOUR "INPUT'
