The Hawaii Bowl Scrap

We've heard all the indignation and the whining about this past Christmas' football game between Hawaii and Houston, which ended in a big fight! All the letters to the newspapers all said that this fight, as well as Hawaii's mascot (Vili the Warrior) gave Hawaii a bad rep!

I say lighten up!

Fights at sports games happen worldwide! If someone refuses to visit Hawaii over this football fight, they might as well not visit anywhere!

And about Vili, I say we keep him as a mascot! Sure he might go too far, but the positives outweigh the negatives! He gives Hawaii a hardcore rep, which is what any college football team needs! Plus, he reps Polynesian culture to the max! Remember, he reps University of HAWAII, not University of Mainland!

The snobs whine that he makes Hawaii look unsophisticated! ! If those snobs dont like Polynesian culture, they can leave and dont come back! Just reminds me of this one guy who complained about Hawaii street names being in Hawaiian! Eh, this is Hawaii dammit, of course the street names will be in Hawaiian! You want European street names, go move to Europe!

I say we keep Vili and his drummer boys!

Prez nominess

I know, I know, this blog is getting too political, but now that I have more time to update my blog, I'll just make another commentary about 2004

I'll go over what I think the weakness and strenghts are in those running for Prez in 2004! Those weakness and strengths are measured by what I think make or dont make a candidate one that I would vote for!

1) John Kerry

Strength : military service, risked his life in Vietnam, pro-choice
Weakness: confuses the public over whether he's for or against the war on Iraq! A man like that has no business running for President! Take a stand or get out of the way!
Kerry is also elitist who can't relate to the regular man, and a gun control fanatic!

2) Dean Gephardt

Strength : willing to get tough on Saddam, can relate to the working class types
Weakness: his anti-trade agenda does more harm than good

3) Howard Dean

Strength : though considered left, he has been able to relate to private sector types, entrepreneurs, etc. Allowed for civil unions for same-sex couples. Also, willing to let states decide their own gun laws, whereas previous Dems wanted the Feds to force excessive gun laws on all of us. Also, pro-Balanced Budgets, not afraid to cut spending when gov. of Vermont. Also, not afraid to criticize the so-called partial birth abotion bans.
Weakness : A HUGE ONE is his lack of enthusiasm for the capture of Saddam and the deserved death of Saddam's sons! A man like that has NO bizness being Prez! Plus, his idiotic comment on the Confederate flag, which patronizes Southern whites and alienates blacks.

4) Joe Lieberman

Strength : tough on Saddam, pro-welfare reform, pro-private sector
Weakness : holier than thou attitude, whines excessively about violent and sexual entertainment, flip-flopped on affirmative action due to political convenience.

5) Al Sharpton

Strength: someone who can put white liberals on the defensive, especially when white liberals claim to sympathize with non-whites, when what they do is patronize. Can relate to ghetto residents and has experience empowering them. Stood up to excessive police brutality and racial violence
Weakness:THE HUGE ONE is his statement on Bill O'Reilly's show 2 MONTHS B4 9/11, when Sharpton said there was no threat to national security. A person who says that at any time has NO BIZNESS being Prez. Also, supports affirmative discrimination AND has abused the race card. Plus, his big government proposals will break the bank!

6) Dennis Kucinnich

Strength : has came to campaign in Hawaii whereas most candidates ignore it. That shows his humility and respect.
Weakness: soft on America's enemies, excessively socialist proposals on health care, education, etc. will bankrupt the nation without improving anything! Also, changed his stance on abortion JUST WHEN HE DECIDED TO RUN FOR THE DEMOCRAT NOMINATION!

http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20020610&s=pollitt

7) Carol Mosley-Braun

Strength: an alternative to Sharpton, forcing Sharpton to not to take blacks for granted. Only woman running!
Weakness: too cozy with ex-dictator of Nigeria, corruption charges, couldn't win re-election for Senate

8) Wesley Clark

Strength: military career, giving Dems a tougher image without compromising Democrat positions on issues, fought against genocide in Bosnia and Kosovo, though wasn't for war on Iraq, at least he had more enthusiasm for Saddam's capture than Howard Dean
Weakness: Was at a GOP fundraiser in 2001, and now he wants to be a Democrat? Yet he expects to be taken seriously?

9) John Edwards

Strength: stood up to Howard Dean on the Confederate flag comment, demands that coastal elites respect the South and the Heartland
Weakness: too cozy with trial lawyers who put out frivolous lawsuits!

10) George W. Bush

Couldn't leave out the Republicans

Strength: tough on Saddam and Al Quaida, allowed concealed weapons when gov. of Texas, not willing to the politically correct fanatics when it comes to foreign policy and the environment
Weakness: claims to be for smaller government while increasing spending on everything, unwilling to end an excessively punitive drug war policy, Ashcroft's hatred of civil liberites, too cozy with the Religious Right, too-anti-abortion!

The Bike-Path Left
Saddam? Osama? Whatever, dude!

BY MARK STEYN
Wednesday, December 17, 2003 12:01 a.m. EST

Like Susan Lucci at the Emmys, Howard Dean is getting better at putting a brave face on things. When Saddam Hussein fell from power, the Vermonter said churlishly, "I suppose that's a good thing." When Uday and Qusay bit the dust, the governor announced that "the ends do not justify the means."

So what does get the Dean juices going? A few days later, the governor was on CNN and Judy Woodruff asked him about his admission that he'd left the Episcopal Church and become a Congregationalist because "I had a big fight with a local Episcopal church over the bike path."

And that's our pugnacious little Democrat. On Osama bin Laden, he's Mister Insouciant. But he gets mad about bike paths. Destroy the World Trade Center and he's languid and laconic and blasé. Obstruct plans to convert the ravaged site into a memorial bike path and he'll hunt you down wherever you are.

That's what Howard Dean represents--the passion of the Bike-Path Left.

Vermonters marked the end of the Dean era by electing a Republican governor and a Republican House. To Democratic primary voters across the land, Vermont is a shining, rigorously zoned, mandatory-recycling city on a hill. And the only way up the hill is by the bike path.


A little over an hour north of that Burlington bike path is Montreal, the visits to which (for kids' hockey fixtures and his appearances on a Canadian TV show) Dr. Dean cites, seriously, as his main foreign-policy experience. Montreal is home to North America's largest Iraqi émigré community and on Sunday night the streets were full of honking horns celebrating Saddam's downfall. You don't have to go far to see the world beyond the good doctor's bike-path parochialism, but it's farther than most Dems are willing to go.

My commentary : If Dean wins the Democrat nomination, he WILL NOT win the general election, regardless of whatever flaws George W. Bush has! All Bush has to do is show commercials with Dean's comments on Hussein's capture saying in a sarcastic manner "I suppose that's a good thing." Then the commercial will say "Suppose?" and a few more comments, and that's it! Dean will be finished!
It will implicitly say that Dean appeases dictators and terrorists, just like Bush Senior's ads saying Dukasis coddles violent felons.

The only way Dean will win is if W. Bush doesn't make that ad and doesn't remind people of what Dean has said!

Howard Dean shoots himself in the foot


Dean's biggest weakness in 2004 elections (if he wins the Democrat nomination) is NOT his support of gay civil-unions. It will NOT be because of his lefty image, since he's not as far left on issues like guns and balanced budgets. It will be because lack of enthusiasm for the capture of Saddam and the death of his sons! It WILL haunt him come Nov. 2004. That will be like what Willie Horton was to Michael Dukasis. (and to you race card abusers - IT DOESNT MATTER if Willie Horton and Hussein are non-whites! They're dangerous scumbags, plain and simple!)

And though Lieberman is a longshot for the Democrat nomination, I would say he's WAY MORE SERIOUS on the issue of the Islamic terror than Dean is!

SADDAM' S CAPTURED! -TIME TO PARTY!

Now that Saddam is captured, we should pray for his torture. We already know that he is guilty for crimes against humanity, what more proof do we need!

We ought to be celebrating this, as one tyrant has fell! Next is bin Laden!

President Bush ought to order assinations of Kim Jong Il, Fidel Castro, Robert Mugabe, Muamar Qadafi and other tyrants to show the world we wont tolerate that kind of crap! All poltical correctness goes out the window when dealing with punks like them!

Now for that other prof?

 Now for that other prof?

As you can remember, I had an editorial printed last month about profs wasting class time with indoctorinating students with opinions of UNRELATED topics.

http://www.kaleo.org/vnews/display.v/ART/2003/10/23/3f978f7c5b652?in_archive=1

Usually, on this blog, I complained the Poetry and Drama prof who wasted class time expressing hatred for the President.

But what about the Juvenille Deliquency prof who wasted class time whining about the coach's salary? Well, that's the topic today. Because AGAIN, he ended the class with his anti-June Jones agenda! It's time to set the record straight! (by the way, that prof's name is Dr. Knowles, no relation to Beyonce)

Fallacy #1 -coach Jones makes too much $$$

Reality- what June Jones is making is chump change compared to coach's of more prestigious programs like Southern Cal, Oklahoma, Miami, Florida State, Michigan, etc, who on average make 1.5 - 2 MILLION a year. By comparison, June Jones makes only $800,000.

And also what Dr. Knowles failed to tell the class is that around the same time UH offered June Jones the head coaching job, the NFL's San Diego Charger's offered him $1.5 MILLION. June went with the lesser paying job at UH, chump change in comparison. Yet, Knowles has the nerve to condem June Jones contract with UH?

Fallacy #2 - coach's salary is taking $$$ out of the professors

Reality - coach's salary is coming out of ticket sales, and TV profits People aren't paying that $$$ to pay professors, they're paying to (gasp) watch a football game! To add to that, 1/2 of June Jones' salary is coming from (gasp) private donations.

More people pay to watch June Jones' team play than to watch professors teach - therefore the coach gets more money. This is basic economics we are talking about here.

Now that I've pointed out June Jones' salary comes from ticket sales and TV $$$, Knowles must find another scapegoat for the state's problems. Especially when the university's budget is $800-million (according to http://www.hawaii.edu/admin/sloane.html) which even more makes June Jones salary look like chump change in comparison.

Fallacy #3 - June Jones salary is the reason why cops aren't making enough and because of that , crime will go up, which YOU will be a victim of (writer's note - Dr. Knowles ACUTALLY said that today, I'm not making it up!)

Reality- If all the school sports programs got eliminated, there would be more gang members, meaning more drive-bys, more robberies, more gang fights, etc. In fact, in the book that Dr. Knowles assigned, it mentioned that the late Kansas City Chiefs player Derrick Thomas saying that if it wasn't for community programs and sports, he would 've gotten in more trouble, and commited more crimes.

But then again, if all the sports programs are eliminated and youth crime increases, that just means that there will be a higher demand for juvenille deliquency experts. That means cha-ching $$$$$ for someone like Dr. Knowles.

Another Knowles comment - I dont care about what anyone of you write about me in the newspapers about my comments - I'm leaving soon and going to San Diego State

My comment: San Diego State is another sports-obsessed school! Plus, it got an even bigger fan base, since it's in one of the largest markets in the nation. In fact, in the early 90's, SDSU was seen as the West Coast version of U of Miami. The only reason why they dont have that image now is that SDSU football is no longer that good.

If Knowles wants a school that isn't obsessed with football, he should try teach at San Jose State, where hardly anyone even show up for the football games. Since that school is in the WAC (just like Hawaii), Knowles can make his rants all day about June Jones.

More proof of indoctrination at U.H.

In Friday, Nov. 7, 2003 edition of Ka Leo, another student gave a testimony about the left wing indoctorination at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. This student ,Chauntelle Alarie, a junior majoring in Political Science, gave this testimony in response to Stuart Hayashi's great letter and also indirectly in response to Tobin Jones angry letter against me.

And one more thing before you read the letter, I have never heard of Chauntelle Alarie before that letter was printed. Either way, here's her letter

Letters to the Editor

November 07, 2003

Student voice stunted
Stuart Hayashi's, "Keep off-topic rants out of the classroom," really hit the nail on the head. Students pay this university to provide them with professors to teach information in their field, not profess opinions on out of class topics. When I was a freshman at this university five years ago, an incident similar to the abuse of power described by Hayashi happened to me (just in a different form).

My problem occurred in English 100. My class was told to write an opinion paper on any subject that we desired. I selected why Bill Clinton deserved to be impeached. I wrote all my reasons and the explanations for my beliefs. Proud of my work, I gave the paper to my professor. Apparently, my professor did not like my opinion on the subject. When my essay was returned, there were red words scribbled on every margin of every page and even on the free space on the last page.

I could not believe how poor my grammar skills were until I read what was written in that terrible red ink. The writing covering my paper were not corrections, they were my professor's opinions of why I was wrong to think the way I did about my topic. My professor wrote that my views were ridiculous and without merit. This professor could not believe I had the nerve to assign blame solely on the shoulder's of Bill Clinton and not Monica Lewinsky. I did not know what to make of the situation so I assumed my professor was simply engaging in some "friendly" debate.

The next incident that occurred changed my mind. I cannot recall what the topic of our essay was supposed to be, but I do remember the professor asking the students in class for their topic choices. When I was called, I said, "Abortion." Instead of moving on to the next student, my professor asked if I was going to be writing from a pro-choice or pro-life perspective. Stupidly, I responded with my true feelings on the subject and stated I was pro-life. The next thing I knew, my professor started accusing me of depriving women of choice and that I was probably just religious.

Then the professor called on three girls who raised their hands. She proceeded to allow the women to tell me I was wrong and could only think the way I did because religious people were against abortion and I must be religious. The only thing I was allowed to blurt out was that I was not religious. I was not afforded the ability to express my reasons for being pro-life before the professor decided it was time for the next student's topic choice. I walked out of that room knowing I would not write my paper on abortion and feeling embarrassed because everyone in the class probably thought I was some religion freak.

To the guy who acts as if some professors do not press their ideologies on students in classrooms, my letter is just more proof of a disturbing trend that has infected universities nationwide. You may say this story is false, but one thing remains true. There are many students at this university who are afraid to express their true opinions for fear of a professor's ability to ruin a stellar GPA.

Chauntelle Alarie
Junior
Political Science

Now my response to this letter

Alarie said Stuart Hayashi's, "Keep off-topic rants out of the classroom," really hit the nail on the head. Students pay this university to provide them with professors to teach information in their field, not profess opinions on out of class topics.

My response : Boo-ya! Amen! Bingo! This is the exact point I was trying to make in my recent editorial for which Tobin Jones gave me a scolding for. What is wrong with her point, Mr. Jones? Is it because the ethical profs aren't supplementing their topics with radical left propaganda? Hmm? Hmmm? Hmm? What some REFUSE to understand is that the students are paying hard earned $$$$ to get an education to get qulaified for better opportunites, NOT TO LISTEN TO SOME ARROGANT PRICK EXPRESSING HATRED FOR CURRENT POLITICAL LEADERS, and NOT TO LISTEN TO SOME ARROGANT PRICK TELLING THE CLASS WHAT TO THINK ABOUT THE LATEST ISSUES OF THE DAY!

Anyways, Alarie said the prof punished her for believing Clinton should've been impeached. In my opinion, the whole Clinton impeachment was a waste of time. But should professors act as if their opinions are facts? NO! Should professors tell their students what to think about Clinton impeachment? NO! If I was a prof, I would've accepted Alarie's paper on Clinton's impeachment and just corrected the grammar, give credit for strong points, and ask for clarification on confusing points.

Alarie went on to say : The writing covering my paper were not corrections, they were my professor's opinions of why I was wrong to think the way I did about my topic. My professor wrote that my views were ridiculous and without merit

My response: Tobin might call this "supplementing" but I call this explicit indoctrination, very similar to the brainwashing "re-education camps" that the Vietnamese and North Korean communists used to punish non-communist thought! Unlike what Tobin believes, it is NOT the prof's job to tell anyone what to think about Clinton's impeachment, even though I think the whole media circus about Clinton-Monica hoo-ra was excessive, and a waste of time.

An English prof is supposed to (gasp) just correct grammar and to encourage clear expressions of ideas. I didn't mind if a prof corrected my paper's grammar. If he just did that, I would be OK with it. But a prof's arrogant attitude in conducting class and his excessive editorializing in class is unacceptable! ANd those who defend his conduct are ass kissers.

Anyways, back to Alarie's letter. She continued, saying When I was called, I said, "Abortion." Instead of moving on to the next student, my professor asked if I was going to be writing from a pro-choice or pro-life perspective. Stupidly, I responded with my true feelings on the subject and stated I was pro-life. The next thing I knew, my professor started accusing me of depriving women of choice and that I was probably just religious.

My response: If Tobin knew my actual view on abortion (I'm pro-choice) that would collapse his view of me being a "right-winger". I do disagree with the President's signing of the partial-birth abortion ban, and I dont give a shit if Tobin agrees or not! But the prof has ZERO business to tell a student to be pro-choice! A prof can join Planned Parenthood or the Right-to-Life Coalition on his/her own spare time, but the prof has ZERO business forcing his/her views in class!

Alarie continued on to say: Then the professor called on three girls who raised their hands. She proceeded to allow the women to tell me I was wrong and could only think the way I did because religious people were against abortion and I must be religious.

Any prof who allows a bunch of students to gang up on another student just for their viewpoint is super-unethical! A prof is supposed to (gasp) facilitate civilized discussion, not indoctorinate.

And here is Alarie's last paragraph addressed to (drumroll, please) Tobin Jones

To the guy who acts as if some professors do not press their ideologies on students in classrooms, my letter is just more proof of a disturbing trend that has infected universities nationwide. You may say this story is false, but one thing remains true. There are many students at this university who are afraid to express their true opinions for fear of a professor's ability to ruin a stellar GPA.

Tobin's denial of indoctorination at UH is similar to the neo-Nazi's denial of the Holocaust! Tobin doesn't mind if non-leftist students are intimidated by the politically correct thought police, because after all, he IS part of the politically correct thought police. Tobin wants to silence me, and is satisfied that I (gasp) had consideration for my classmates who didn't pay hard earned $$$ to hear me and the prof argue! But Tobin can't stop me from writing my thoughts, and writing is one way to go over the heads of arrogant profs and speak directly to students in their own time.

And yes, some students do fear for their GPA! One of my friends told me that his classmate never wrote a paper that disagreed with Tehranian's (American Studies prof) viewpoint, because he feared that she'll give him a low grade, and with a low grade, he would've lost his scholarship! These profs who claim to be for the poor and downtrodden, are the ones using their politically biased grading to intimidate those who rely on scholarships.

Coming soon

Another Letter of Support

In today's Ka Leo, there was a letter complaining about (drumroll, please) Tobin Jones. I'll comment below that letter

Community Perspective: Keep off-topic rants out of class
November 05, 2003

What's with letter writer Tobin Jones's grudge against Ka Leo columnist Pablo Wegesend? Since December 2000, almost every four editorials Wegesend has written about national controversies has elicited a vitriolic response from Jones. It would be one thing if Jones had only two or three acidic responses, but he's written at least five of them obsessing about Wegesend and one that just made a quick potshot at him. Most of Jones's rhetoric has amounted to baseless accusations of racism against anyone who disagrees with him about finance and economics. Non-sequitur, man.

"Mr. Wegesend," Jones once whined, "has the energy to constantly bitch about the Left ..." I don't know about that, but it appears Jones has a lot of time and energy to "constantly bitch" about Wegesend, especially since Jones is now an "alumnus." Given that, Jones appears to actually be a devoted reader of Wegesend's. If that were not the case, couldn't Jones just ignore Wegesend, whom he so misguidedly berates as some enemy? It's embarrassing for all parties when a graduate parades his own petty, personal vendetta against someone in public.

Jones's latest wailing comes over Wegesend's observation that many professors (not just at UH) smother their students with unneeded political indoctrination. Wegesend presented the example of a Poetry and Drama professor wasting students' time by making wisecracks about politicians that don't actually pertain to Poetry (other than that a few leftist rants might actually follow an iambic pentameter?).

"Do you," Wegesend asked us, "want a well-paid professor who spends class time venting out his/her opinions while thumbing his/her nose at those who disagree?"

Jones states that Wegesend's example wasn't a hypothetical one, because they were both in such a poetry class. "Only in the first five to ten minutes," said Jones, "was there any conversation about current events, and the professor made it clear that he was tired of students not knowing what was going on in the world and this was his attempt to remedy the problem. ... He spoke against Bush because he does not like him. Plenty of educators don't like Bush. ... These are current events and discussion of them supplements the curriculum. ..." Supplements? It is a transitive verb ... that means to complete or make an addition.

To put it frankly: If your class is about poetry, then the poetry professor taking "five to ten minutes" to denounce a politician is five to ten minutes too much. It's one thing if it's a class on liberal studies or political science. If the class is on a topic other than politics, then the professor's political views are IRRELEVANT to the discussion. Many poetry students DON'T CARE if their professor loves or hates Bush; they're paying him or her money and their valuable time to teach them about POETRY. The students don't even have an ethical obligation to care — it's THEIR money, THEIR minds and, most importantly, THEIR LIVES.

One or two stray remarks is understandable, but a professor's REGULAR carping about his or her hatred of a politician or businessperson is also a waste of class time if the subject is juvenile delinquency, geology, English literature, etc. If the poetry professor is so concerned about telling his students what he thinks about foreign or fiscal policy, he can arrange a get-together with WILLING pupils and they can all talk about it on their OWN TIME.

And since Jones so dramatically declares he was in the same class with Wegesend, then did Jones actually speak to Wegesend directly and tell him that he disagreed with his columns? If he did, then such a confrontation should've settled his issues already (get on with life!). If he didn't, then it's quite cowardly to only spring an attack like this when Wegesend cannot look him in the eye.

Thank you Mr. Hayashi!

My response : AMEN to that, though to people like, Jones and his allies, that statement is considered blasphemy! To them, all classes (including Tropical Agriculture, Fashion Design, ICS, and Engineering) should come with 5-10 minutes of indoctorination in the latest leftist spin on current events not related to the topic of the class! If the class is Poetry and Drama, concentrate on Poetry And Drama, let the students be ignorant about other things if they want to be that way! If the prof wanted to cure the students ignorance of current events, why didn't he go and teach a social science course?

Professors like Katherine Irwin, David Swift and David Mayeda do have liberal tendencies but they also had A LOT MORE HUMILITY and THEY CAN HANDLE A CIVIL DISAGREEMENT on ANYTHING! They never belittled anyone who disagreed with the latest leftist spin of the day!

My comment : AMEN to that! We only got a limited amount of time in class to get educated on the topic we signed up for. Any propaganda is a waste of time. Profs and students can talk all they want about their ideologies if they were eating dinner at Paradise Palms or Manoa Gardens!

My response: Tobin said nothing to me in class, he didn't even look me in the eye the whole 6 weeks of class! But then again, it's hard to look someone in the eye, if their eyes are the type of eyes you'll find in a Hotel Street junkie!

I was waiting the whole 6 weeks for Tobin to make a wise-ass remark to me, it didn't happen. His reasons for that- I really don't know!

Fan Mail

Here is some fan mail I've gotten last week from a friend. Since I've yet to ask his permission, I won't print his name.

Hey Pablo,

I cannot believe all that bullshit Tobin  Jones
wrote in the Ka Leo today and I think you did a great job defending yourself. The only reason why that idiot Tobin thinks that U.H. professors are unbiased is because they think the same way he does. If it were vise versa where the professors were spreading conservative ideology, he would be complaining just as much about these professors as you and I complain about fuckers like Foltz, Andersson, Tehranian, and Okamura. Since Tobin thinks that oppression is okay if it is done through left wing ideology, then I guess he wouldn't mind being a citizen of a country run by Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Kim Il Sung, Ho Chi Minh, or Fidel Castro.

My response: AMEN to that! Andersson and Tehranian are 2 American Studies profs, and Okamura is an Ethnic Studies prof. I didn't take any of their classes, but that friend told me that they all try to promote left-wing propaganda in class and thumbed their noses at those who disagree.

Tehranian actually told my friend to re-write a paper just because he wrote from a non-leftist perspective. Also, according to my friend, Okamura did expect liberal answers on tests, and his classmate got a lower grade on an exam question for giving non-liberal answers. And Tobin says there's no indoctrination on campus?

A Little Apology

I know in one of my emails I've sent out to my allies, I criticized Tobin Jones for calling W. "howdy - doody looking." Yet, I've committed the same sin in my previous blog post, by calling Tobin Jones "curious george on drugs" and by saying he reminds me of that SkeeLo song "I wish I was a little bit taller."  I also committed the same sin by calling Jones' mentor Dr Foltz an "anorexic punk". All of that was extreme hypocrisy on my part. Since that was very shallow of me to concentrate on their looks, I won't do it anymore! 

I apologize for unintentionally offending those who may look like Tobin Jones and Dr Foltz!  

Is it Racial?

It's been commonly said that black leftist commonly show more hate for black conservatives than white conservatives. An example would be that the black left leadership would express some dislike of white conservatives like Rush Limbaugh, but show excessive hatred toward black conservatives like Clarence Thomas, Larry Elder and others like them. It's been said that the extra hatred is because those black leftists don't like the idea of a black person showing the white community that not all black people are aligend with Maxine Waters, Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. So they'll call Clarence Thomas, Larry Elder, Thomas Sowell, etc. "Uncle Toms", "sellouts" and "anti-black" to intimidate other black people from publicly expressing agreement with Thomas, Elder, etc. Black conservatives comment that this hatred comes because the black leftists don't want any other blacks to escape the "Democrat plantation."

Since Tobin Jones can't find a black conservative or even a Hawaiian non-leftist on Ka Leo, he'd target the closest thing to it. He probably saw my 1st name, and thought to himself "Oh shit, someone with a Hispanic 1st name actually dares to criticize the Left! I'll show him who's boss!" I could be wrong, but that could the reason why he spends more time complaining about me than any other Ka Leo writer! He is obssessive of getting rid of any non-leftist with some non-white blood.

More comments on Tobin's Ka Leo rants

On his rants last week, which you can read at http://www.kaleo.org/vnews/display.v/ART/2003/10/29/3f9f4c1b8e013

Tobin said: "You are complaining about an English class that only counted three credits."

My response: If someone hit Tobin in the face in that class, and he complains about it in the Ka Leo, how would he feel if someone said "You are complaining about an English class that only counted three credits." Not very good, right? So what if that class was just 3 credits. Most classes at UH are 3 credits.

The reason I brought up that class in my editorial is because the professor wasted class time, (and indirectly wasting the $$$ of me, my family, my classmates and their families, and the taxpayers) by commenting on things unrelated to the course. I didn't pay that money to hear a prof express hatred of the President, or rudely saying "NO!" to students who didn't give the hidden meanings that he wants to hear. 6 weeks of my life was wasted on that class that I only took to get a core requirement over with!

Of course, Tobin Jones wants me to shut up and kiss the ass of the status quo. It's not the first time he suggested that to me. Here was that comment in his rant published on 10/17/02 which you can read at

Tobin said : "Here is my suggestion to you: lead, follow or get out the way. Lead your fellow Rightists and have something to show, follow your current leaders and develop something to show, or stop bitching and get out of the way"

My response: Stop bitching and get out of the way? Here is Tobin indirectly saying that I no right to speak, just because (gasp) I dared to say things he disagrees with it. This just shows that Tobin doesn't want a civilized debate. He wants to shut up the opposition, so since he can't do that, he'll do the next best thing, which is write angry letters in the hopes of intimidating me from ever writing an opinion he disagrees with.

In response to a vicious rant by  leftist extremist Tobin Jones that you can read at

http://www.kaleo.org/vnews/display.v/ART/2003/10/29/3f9f4c1b8e013?in_archive=1

Jones said : "It does not even matter if they are because the reason why you are here at the university level IS TO LEARN HOW TO THINK. You are supposed to use your brain to discern that which is true from that which is false. No one is venting his or her ideology at anyone."

My response: though universities are supposed to teach thinking skills, what some profs are doing is telling the students WHAT TO THINK!

And this nonsense about "No one is venting his or her ideology at anyone" is a load of crap! The reason why Tobin Jones doesn't think anyone is venting their ideology or indoctrinating is because all of Jones' profs are reaffirming his point of view. If a prof is forcing a leftist view on students, Tobin Jones will NOT call that indoctrination! Tobin Jones definition of indoctrination is forcing right-wing views on the students. Tobin Jones' definition of education is forcing left-wing views on the students.

The Rubbish of Tobin Jones

 

Now comes the fun part -battling with the latest ranting of that extreme leftist Tobin Jones. For those of you who don't know, Tobin Jones is a recent graduate of UH. But that doesn't stop him from obsessively denouncing me in the Ka Leo!

Go here for Tobin's rantings

and for my editorial he responded to

Tobin Jones was in my English 256 : Poetry and Drama class last summer. The only reason why I took that class was because the UH Colleges of Arts and Sciences requires its students to take 2 English literature courses. I HATE literature classes, even before I took Poetry and Drama class. Requiring literature classes is so pointless. After all, who gives a shit about a lot of these fiction stories assigned anyways. No one will ask in a job interview about what happened in some boring poem or drama assigned by some literature professor. And people can learn about social issues from social science classes, we don't need to read all these bullshit ficiton stories, bullshit poems assigned in class! Though if UH didn't require English Literature, Dr. Foltz would probably be running around Hotel Street in downtown Honolulu, ranting and raving to the passer-bys, who will think of him as just another Hotel Street junkie.

Now that you got some background info, let's go over Tobin Jones rantings. Jones said about Dr. Foltz "Only in the first five to ten minutes was there any conversation about current events, and the professor made it clear that he was tired of students not knowing what was going on in the world and this was his attempt to remedy the problem."

My response: since when is that the duty of a Poetry and Drama prof to remedy the problem of students being unaware of world events? His job is to teach Poetry and Drama, not current events. What else does Tobin Jones want? Does he believe that ICS profs should spend 5-10 minutes talking about agriculture? Hey, agriculture is important, but ICS prof should teach ICS, not agriculture. Same logic applies to those who teach Poetry and Drama.

Tobin Jones later says "He spoke against Bush because he does not like him. Plenty of educators don't like Bush."

My response: I really dont care if any prof was protesting President Bush's visit in his/her spare time. I had liberal profs who were WAY LESS ARROGANT than Tobin Jones' hero Dr. Foltz. And those profs didn't waste class time by whining about the President. They did what they're supposed to do - (gasp) stick to the subject they were hired to teach. So if a Poetry and Drama prof voted for Gore, but kept his politics outside of class, I wouldn't mind. Plus, how would Tobin Jones feel if his prof wasted class time by whining about Clinton, Jesse Jackson, Howard Dean, Ben Cayetano and other of Jones' liberal heroes? HMMM? HMMM? HMM?


Tobin Jones said "In fact, that professor made us buy a $50 poetry book that was used for all of three weeks. You even complained to him about it in class (in front of the class) and he told you that "you buy books to create a library; you're not here to rent them," and you started complaining like a 5-year-old!"

My response: Hey Tobin, sorry for not kissing your hero's ass! I dont give a shit about poetry or any other literature, since I only took it to get a core requirement over with. So I have no reason to keep Dr. Foltz's assigned book. So I sold it back, to get at least a small percentage of my hard earned money back! Why should I waste shelf space with boring fiction books that I only got to get a core requirement over with? Though I did sell those books, I think those books would've been put to better use as toilet paper!

Tobin Jones said : "I have spent quite a bit of time at the university level and I can safely say that the professors are not trying to indoctrinate the students with their own ideology "

My response :Ha! That proves that Tobin Jones has been brainwashed by his Radical Left professors! Anytime a prof is stating his opinion (especially in an arrogant manner that Dr. Foltz always does), the prof is indoctorinating the students. If his professors were mainly conservative, Tobin Jones would be rightfully complaining about the Right Wing Conspiracy at the university. But when I protest the Left Wing power at UH, I get compared to Jerry Falwell and the neo-Confederates by Tobin Jones. Jones' statement also shows that he is nothing but an ass kisser! He kissed Foltz's ass, and I'm sure he kissed other professors' asses as well.

Tobin Jones said : "I offered to send you to Mississippi so you could be around those people, but you haven't taken me up on my proposition."

My response. I'll go to Mississippi if Tobin Jones move to North Korea, a nation controlled by left-wing extremists for over 50 years. That way, Jones can SUPPLEMENT all his education at this university about how all these Marxist ideas are so great.

Tobin Jones said : "He was not trying to change your mind, although every time you answered a question in class, you were wrong."

My response: Hey Tobin, I remember you were whining to the professor after class when you said "I'm struggling in this class". So stop acting as if you're some fuckin genius cuz you aint! And also, Dr. Foltz claims that poems and dramas have no hidden meaning, but that is so bullshit! And when one doesn't give a hidden meaning Foltz is looking for, Foltz yells out "NO" This is so hypocritical of Foltz, especially when he wants class participation!

Tobin Jones said: "You didn't even try to defend your point, you shut up then, and started to write now"

My response: I could argue with Foltz all day, but I didn't because the other students didn't pay all their hard earned to spend an hour hearing me and Foltz argue! I didn't argue the whole class time, since that would take away what little time Foltz spends on teaching Poetry and Drama. That I didnt waste class time, shows I had consideration for other students and took the high road. Consideration and taking the high road is something that neither Tobin Jones and Dr. Foltz can ever understand.

And one more thing: I'm not scared to fight  Dr. Foltz and I'm not scared to fight Tobin Jones. That I never initiated a fight with Jones or his idol Dr. Foltz shows my ability to restrain myself.

And Tobin Jones is so small, he reminds me of that song by Skeelo "I wish I was a little bit taller." And look at Tobin Jones' eyes! It looks as if he was smoking some marijuana earlier in the day. Just compare Tobin Jones' eyes to the eyes of all those Hotel Street junkies. Not much difference. 

Tobin Jones said : "If you will check the definition of a McCarthyite (not "McCarthyist"), you will see that that is a person that uses "subversive tactics" by means of widely publicized indiscriminate allegations especially on the basis of unsubstantiated charges."

My response : Unsubstantiated arguments? Tobin Jones made an unsubstantiated statement by saying "David Horowitz, a conservative holdout who longs for the "good ol' days" when White was right and everyone else had to shut up." There is no evidence that Horowitz is a segregationist or a racist.

But for Tobin Jones, anyone who disagrees with Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or Louis Farrakhan, is a "racist". So that's about all I have to say for now about that ass-kissing, Radical Leftist punk that goes by the name of Tobin Jones.

Introduction

This is my introductory post on this blog.

A description of myself: I am a sociology major at the University of Hawaii-Manoa, who plans to one day start a record label. I want to make records that goes against the political correctness of both the Left and Right.

I am a centrist with libertarian leanings on some issues. But UH-Manoa's climate is so far to the Left, that Radical Leftists like Tobin Jones might consider me "far right" just because I disagree with many of the orthodoxies of the Radical Left. Anyone who doesn't kiss the asses of the Radical Left is considered "right wing." The Far Left claims to be against the "with us or against us" doctorine, but in reality, when it comes to politics, the Far Left view is "you're either with the Far Left or with the racist, homophobic, sexist, polluting, fascist right wing nazis".


But if I was at BYU or Bob Jones University, I might be considered "far left" since I don't believe in locking up drug users with violent felons, and I don't believe that government should outlaw abortion, prostitution, immigration, sex ed, or hardcore music. But Tobin Jones and the ilk will ignore all that, because I (gasp) also dont believe in affirmative discrimination, the "Blame America for Everything" worldview, gun control, radical feminism, socialism, or unlimited welfare.

So I hope you enjoy my posts
