UCSB Students Protest Military on Campus…Dr. Laura protests students because Deryk flunked college!

Dr. Laura’s empty tirade against Freedom was typical Right Wing Blather….she claims the students don’t have the right to protest and don’t share her version of history. The facts are American foreign policy is racist, enables Israel to keep killing Palestinians, and has caused untold suffering among poor Muslims. That is the reason for 9/11 and the continued chaos in Iraq. The “surge” is not working.

We need new leaders. We need to change the station! The invasion was a disaster. WE LOST ALREADY!

Now the students, god love ‘em, are exercising their rights as Americans. Standing up for what they believe, peacefully protesting while the cops in riot gear jump around, looking to club a kid with a baton.

The military is a fine and necessary entity when used responsibly. The folks who serve are doing a job..they are not gods or saints. Sending them off to fight an irrational war does not make them good or bad…that’s their job. It is, therefore, up to us to make damn sure we think before we act.

The Bush Administration is milking the war propaganda to try to recruit more young people. This is abuse of power and should be addressed by the people the government serves. The students have honored themselves by taking them to task.

Dr.Laura knows this and knows her time in the spotlight is coming to a close as the election of a new president draws near. No more photo ops with the defense dept. Instead, I suggest an investigation into why the army covered up Deryk Schlessinger’s pathetic misdeeds while in the military and why he hasn’t been dishonorably discharged…
