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.

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.
