If Crazy Had A Smell

Odd title. But it isn't quite complete. The full title should be "If crazy had a smell, one classroom at Colorado University would be the most odiferous place on planet Earth." For those of you that don't catch the news regularly there's a "Professor" at CU named Ward Churchill that has made quite a few controversial statements about the attacks on 9/11. Stating that the people who perished during those heinous attacks were "little Nazi's", for instance. That's just the beginning, I can't post it all, lest I be infected by the raving lunacy he's spouted. He's part of an American Indian movement, but I'm not sure that's relevant to this post. I sat tonight, flipping through the channels, until I came to C-SPAN. Evidently they've decided to deviate from their normally riveting coverage of city council meetings and British parliamentary proceedings to air Mr. Churchill's latest load of steaming insanity. I sat and listened to about thirty minutes of it. The topics ranged from the "crooked" purchase of Manhattan Island from the American Indians to the current situation in Iraq. According to what I gathered (I didn't pick it all up, I don't speak crazy as well as I used to) Anglo's living in North American from 1776 to present are single-handedly responsible for any and all violence in the world. If we weren't physically in a war with someone, we supplied weapons for it, or sanctions. Now, I don't know about Americans prior to 1982, I wasn't here, I can't vouch for them, but I'm certain that I've never killed anyone from overseas, and I've never provided anyone with weapons. I tried sanctioning Belgium at one time, but gave up soon after (their waffles are too damn tasty). His philosophy is that every American is guilty of something. Why? We pay taxes. That's right, you and I pay taxes. By paying taxes we're enabling the government (evidently he's never paid taxes, not sure how he pulled that off). Now I'm not going to get into what our tax dollars do for us, law enforcement and highways are a couple, but when I Uncle Sam takes his cut from my check I don't think he's turning it around and pouring it into the "Napalm Everyone But Us" foundation. I sat and listened to him basically state that during World War II we were the only country that killed anyone. Yep, that's us, the Germans and Japanese occupied all those other countries with only the dreaded Wet-Willy and the feared Atomic Wedgie, no killing for them. Oh, and Iraq? Why our sanctions caused countless deaths in the 90's. Wasn't Saddam's fault, he was sanctioned dammit! He had to scrounge every penny to air condition his numerous palaces and keep the vending machines in his torture chambers stocked. Once I heard his spill I realized that I'd been missing out. Everyone else in America has been wrecking havoc all over the world...What have I done? Feeling left out I found the nearest cat and punted it across the street, nobody's going to say I'm not doing my part. All joking aside, this guy is for real. I drew blood pinching myself during his speech, trying desperately to wake up. No such luck. I know we have "Free Speech" in America, that it's one of our inalienable rights, but can't we make an exception? Just this once. Or maybe deport him. He seems to be a big fan of the rest of the world, give him a one way ticket to anywhere but here and let him peddle crazy somewhere else. Sadly enough, he had an audience. Sadder still is that they clapped for him. This means that there are other idiots of his caliber roaming the streets somewhere, beating some poor, unsuspecting soul down with the same nonsense. So if someone, other than the usual Democrat or Green party affiliate, comes up to you and tells you that America is the source of all the worlds ills, just back away slowly and contact your nearest Republican for de-crazification.
