I assume...

This guy has a professor job bought for him, does he have the legal qualifications to teach even?

He teachses Ayn Rand philosophy which says if you are poor you deserve to be and you should starve, then when he wins the election he quotes the GOD DAMN BIBLE

I wont take this shit anymore...This is UNACCEPTABLE

Republicans call Obama a Socialist, Democrats call him Progressive, both are wrong.

What most Republicans call "Conservative" is really "Reactionary" and "Radical." A wide swath of Republicans near the end of George W. Bush's regime called him a "Liberal."

Heck, many fools on this site call Glenn Greenwald a "Libertarian."

All of these terms have simply become pejoratives to libel those with whom we disagree.
