Warm, caring, open-minded, liberal students at Columbia Univesity taunt disabled veteran
The classy college crowd at Columbia University mocked, jeered and outright laughed at a returning Iraq War veteran Anthony Mascheck, an Army sergeant awarded the Purple Heart after being shot 11 times.
Have you ever seen stories about the morons at the Westboro Baptist Church who protest military funerals and wondered, “Where do idiots like that come from?” The answer, it appears, may be the Ivy League in general and Columbia University specifically.
The New York Post details how the classy college crowd at Columbia mocked, jeered and outright laughed at a returning Iraq War veteran.
“‘Racist!’ some students yelled at Anthony Mascheck, a Columbia freshman and former Army sergeant awarded the Purple Heart after being shot 11 times in a firefight in northern Iraq in February 2008. Others hissed and booed the veteran.”
And what had Maschek done to provoke the taunting? He spoke at a town-hall meeting to “issue an impassioned challenge to fellow students on their perceptions of the military.”
After saying “It doesn’t matter how you feel about the war, it doesn’t matter how you feel about fighting. There are bad men out there plotting to kill you,” several students laughed and jeered the Idaho native.
Apparently Columbia’s student body is up in arms – pardon our use of violent rhetoric – about the horrors of ROTC returning to their peace-loving campus.
The University had previously rejected the return of ROTC because of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. So now that DADT has been overturned, they’ve come up with a new excuse – the military bans transgender soldiers. According to senior Sean Udell, “Transpeople are part of the Columbia community.”
No word on why Columbia will reject the ROTC after the military begins accepting transgender recruits. Perhaps it will be the fact that they accept so few elite leftist idiots, which will no doubt keep the University in excuses for the next hundred years or so.

Homeowners association declares war on ex-Marine over military decals on car
A Dallas HOA has ordered a disabled Vietnam vet to remove seven Marine Corps decals from his car, including the Marine emblem and Semper Fi slogans.
“To me, it’s being patriotic, and it shows that I served,” Frank Larison said.
The board says the decals are ads and violate HOA rules and must be covered or removed. If he doesn’t comply, the HOA says it will tow the car at Larimore’s expense and fine him $50 for any future incident.
Larison seems to have a lot of allies in the neighborhood.
“That is his identity,” Mary Castagna piped in. “He goes to a lot of the veteran meetings, and it means a lot to him. Everyone else agrees with it; it doesn’t bother anybody.”
“He’s in the Marines, and he’s proud of it, and I don’t blame him,” neighbor Paul Hardy commented. “If I’d gone through what he’s gone through, I’d be kind of proud of it myself.”
The complaint was delivered in a letter. Probably because the HOA board was afraid to say something this stupid to a former Marine in person.

Congressman Peter King: Napolitano won’t call
al Qaeda terrorists, but will call veterans terrorists
Republic Rep. Peter King appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Monday and said some things that are sure to land him in hot water with the Obama administration. And Muslim extremists, too.
“Janet Napolitano testified before the Homeland Security Committee a few weeks ago and never once used the word terrorism. Nowhere in her statement was the word terrorism. When I questioned her about that she basically said she didn’t want to use the word terrorism. She was talking about al Qaeda or bin Laden. We cannot use the word terrorism. They made a point of saying this just generates fear, it generates hysteria and we shouldn’t use the word terrorist.” Continue reading “Congressman Peter King: Napolitano won’t call
