    Nope, not when it is so viciously programmed into susceptible “minds” over a lengthy period.

    Wonder what’s going to happen to all these lovable little kiddies when the bill comes due? How are they ever going to take care of themselves when they get out into the hard, cold, cruel world?

    Oops - forgot myself there. Either they move back in with the parents(assuming the parents are working) or line up for their government handouts. Silly me!

    These things have a life expectancy of 10 years or so. As a kid I grew up with a steady diet of “Reagan is stupid / cowboy / Hitler / worse than Hitler” etc. I heard it from my teachers, every boob in Hollywood, Don Henley wrote a song, Phil Collins made a video, and every intellectual was convinced RR was going to start WW3. A generation later all but a few dimwits admit Reagan was correct in his handling of the Soviets. I am expecting in my later years I will be hearing the Bush successful put in place the policies that turned back the rise in Islamic Facism.

    Some years ago, I read a story about a couple of folks who sat beside the road and waved at the cars going by - father and son. The son commented in the story that he had graduated from college with a degree in philosophy, and explained he wasn’t working. He said there wasn’t much of a market for philosophers.

    Don’t think there’s going to be much market for artists, either. Welcome to the brave, new world.

Probably not anti-Bush nor anti-GOP, as I’m sure pictures of their project would have been posted as well. 4 out 20? 4 out of 30? Seems like much ado about nothing.

    Hey, TOS…what about the ones that ARE shown as completion of an assignment for an English class? Drop the other 30 students…that is an irrelevent assumption, dude.

    Making paper mache monkeys of GWB scratching scalps provides students with what type of English Bone-Head Basics?

    Just take a look at the classes offered at Oregon state, about 12 miles away in Corvallis and you will understand. I lived for 10 years about 5 miles away from LBC which is located in Albany, Oregon. Albany is considered to be ‘redneck’ by the elitist moonbats in Corvallis. So you can imagine what Corvallis was like. I swear all the Haight-Ashbury burnouts moved to Oregon when they decided to actually quit living on the streets and start a family. And believe me, they taught their kids every bit of their anti America rhetoric.

    I dated a woman who was a grade school teacher in Salem, and the stories she would tell me about 2nd graders and their parent was enough to make you want to beat the kids parents with a bat, then go after the kid.

    Amazingly you get east of the Cascade mountains and you get a whole different breed of person. Big cattle ranch country out there. Funny how a little hard work can change your perspective on things.

    31 Bravo I agree with you on the folks on the Left side of the Cascades. I married a girl from Conservative East Side of the state. Right after we married I changed my residence to Oregon and adopted her hometown of Prineville in the beautiful Ochoco Valley. I kept an Oregon drivers license and voted there until I retired from the USAF. Too bad we couldn’t afford to move back there (another victim of Californication) the two sides of Oregon are like night and day.

    I live in Albany, Oregon (home of LBCC) and my wife takes some classes there toward her biochemistry degree at Oregon State University in Corvallis.

    Regarding some of the broad-brush statements above about the local area, I’d point out that LBCC is like most any other college: if you want to study your ass off you go to the science, math and engineering departments, and if you want to stay in touch with your inner child then the liberal arts programs are for you. My wife hasn’t mentioned encountering any kind of the foolishness on display in this “English” department, she’s been too busy staying up until 2:00 or 3:00 every night slogging through her chemistry and math homework.

    As for Corvallis being some bastion of leftism, I beg to differ. Oregon State University has an earned reputation for being pretty conservative (it’s primarily an engineering and agricultural college). My wife constantly marvels at the large numbers of Navy, Air Force and Marine ROTC cadets in her classes there.

    If you want to get caught in a place where it’s perpetually 1968, the University of Oregon in Eugene is the place to be. They don’t call the U of O “The Berkeley of the Northwest” for no reason: its denizens commonly refer to OSU students as “rednecks” at “Moo U.”

    I went to the U of Zero O for both undergrad and law school; I saw Ronald Reagan give a speech there during his 1980 campaign, the purpose of his visit being that his campaign advisers felt he needed “more practice dealing with a hostile audience” (he got one, too). It’s also where I watched Gerald Ford get shouted down by a screaming mob during a speaking engagement, and where I witnessed a member of the “Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade” hurl a gasoline-soaked, flaming yellow-dyed bedsheet at Victor Tomseth upon his return from being an Iranian hostage, his assailant shouting “Here’s your God-damned yellow ribbon!”

    Cut Corvallis and the science/math/engineering departments at LBCC some slack. They don’t deserve to be tarred for the actions of a distinct minority.

    #67,

    There is a significant difference between harmless jokes and political satire and the level of disrespect and vitriol being strewn about today.

    There used to be a line between acceptable and unacceptable, but the left has erased it. Publishing classified documents and calling for assassinations are illegal and should be punished. Instead they are rewarded with praise and the perpetrators are cajoled for more.

    The people doing these projects are choosing an easy target because they know they will gain the favor of their liberal professors, who claim to be teaching them to “be involved” and “express themselves”, when they ought to be teaching them respect and integrity.

    You can defend their free speech or dismiss it as a minority of kids who don’t know better, but I see it as indicative of a bigger problem that will not end pretty.

    I go back to my original point: What difference does it make if it is an English or Art class? The Bush Derangement Syndrom is so profound that those on the left don’t see it. A joke about Clinton? Sure, I’ve heard them and made a few myself. I laugh at SNLs satirizing of Bush too. But the level of pure hate for Bush on left is amazing. He is blamed for a MN bridge collapse, hurricane Katrina, CA wildfires. Movies are made about him spreading vicious lies. Books are written calling for his murder. A college class that apparently revels in portraying the president in this manner is a disgrace.

    Cut Corvallis and the science/math/engineering departments at LBCC some slack. They don’t deserve to be tarred for the actions of a distinct minority.

    I have to call BS on that one Regulus, I lived in Cornvalley for two years prior to moving to Albany (in large part to get away from the moonbats that populate it) If you think OSU isn’t every bit as liberal as U of O you’re either in denial or walk around with blinders on. OSU and the city are birds of a feather. I remember my first year there seeing a protest/parade of militant lesbians around the OSU campus and what struck me was their advocating violence towards men, while supposedly protesting violence. I’ve seen that school take nice, sweet little farm girls from eastern Oregon and turn them in to moonbat, man hating lesbian’s by their sophomore year.

    OSU is alot of things, but conservative, even in the remotest sense of the word, isn’t one of them. And the fact that LBCC is a 10 minute drive west on 34 should tell you something. OSU offers a class on ‘white privilege in America’ I would bet so does LBCC. I even saw an OSU student write to the editorial page of the Albany Democrat-Herald a year or two ago that ownership and driving of a gas powered car was, among other -isms and -ists, racist. Owning and driving a car was racist!!! And he learned this type of bovine scaterology at OSU.

    So please, stop trying to delude the nice people here that OSU is some bastion of conservatism in the middle of moonbat central, it’s not. Is U of O worse? I think it is, but certainly not by much.

    However that being said, I am still planning to move back to Oregon and live out my remaining days there witin the next 2-3 years and I am, and always will be, a Beaver backer. Go Beavs!!!

    I’m not saying that some of these students DON’T hate George Bush, just that some of them are probably just at that point in the semester where they don’t want to think too much about their schoolwork. I’m definitely there–I should be working on a term paper…

    Bush had he stayed true to conservative issues, had he truly fought for real borders, stayed the course on not just Iraq but other issues would not be where he is today.

    You strike at the heart of the problem: it didn’t start in college. Or high school. Or junior high. Or even elementary school. These kids are being hit right from preschool and kindergarten. Sit down and watch morning cartoons.

    Sure, Bush’s “approval ratings” are low. But the Democrat “led” Congress (you know, the most honest, transparent, blah blah, blah Congress ever) has approval ratings that average around 20% (http://www.pollingreport.com/CongJob.htm)

    So where are the caricatures of Pelosi and Reid? If the approval ratings are your basis for the rank idiocy displayed by these individuals, then there is more than ample reason for Congressional leaders to be similarly caricatured.
