UW Student Senate rejects memorial for Pappy Boyington

I would only ask that these two senators take a trip to Iraq and take a walk around any large town for only one day, and see the marines in action. I think the folks here would all chip in and get them a flight to Baghdad. And I too want to remember their names in the event I am ever in a position to assist them. Gee, wonder if this hit the newspapers.

The "Lincoln Brigade" were misguided American volunteers who fought for the communist side in the Spanish Civil War.

So, volunteer fighters for communism get a monument at UW. Pappy Boyington can go pound sand......:rolleyes:

HB beat me too it, though I'm not quite as tore up about the Lincoln Brigade monument over by the HUB (student center). I'm as anti-Communist as the next fellow, but the Spanish Fascists weren't exactly a swell lot either.

However, I do find it most odd:

Fight for Anarchist Spain (supported by Soviet Russia) against Nazi-backed Spanish Loyalists: get a monument, nobody complains.

Fight for the United States, against Imperial Japan: well, you know.

Now all they need is a Lenin statue.

You are kidding, right? You do know that there is indeed a Lenin statue in the neighborhood a bit down the canal from UW, right? In Fremont, next to the taco joint:

Now see what happens when they let the leftest California's leave the state and go North.... Not only did they drive the price of homes and property through the roof so the locals can afford to buy, they also over ran the existing road systems and started planting their leftest views in more places...

I tell you, its a plague......:evil: :what: :banghead:
 
This reminds me far too much of the sordid incident when Joe Foss, Marine pilot and Congressional Medal of Honor holder, was prevented from boarding an airplane because his Medal of Honor set off the metal detector! The sorry excuses for thinking human beings that detained Foss remind me of these student senators that couldn't think themselves out of a wet paper bag. I thank the gods above for the likes of brave American heroes like Boyington and Foss.
 
Well these young people remind me of the San Francisco city board. There was one of the board people on Hannity and Colmes tonight to discuss why the city board voted 8 to 3 to not allow the IOWA battleship to become a memorial there. The guy went on and on about a ship with GUNS on it and he finally blurted out that the board did not believe that the USA should have a military at all. None. Colmes was even upset. The guy said that is the world San Francisco supports. It may be a world 1000 years from now but they plan to lead the way. I say put the ship somewhere else. They want to make a lefty museum out of it if they keep it. A museum to conflict resolution and such nonsense. :cuss: :cuss: :cuss: :cuss: :cuss: :cuss: :cuss: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf: :barf:
 
read the minutes of the meeting and found this little gem

Mikhail Smirnoff said he supported the resolution. He said the resolution
does not support a final product, but that it only supports the concept of
the monument. He said he understood the sentiment of not wanting to
reward those who fought in the war, but that he thought those who fought
in WWII were heros and that it was a much different war than the
controversial war in Iraq.

so apparently being honored for valor depends not on what you did, but on which war you fought in.

maybe they should just hang up a sign that says "Iraq war vets need not apply"
 
arrrrghhhh:fire: :fire:

why don't rich white kids get it? Pappy won the Medal of Honor for cripes sake. do you think they even know what that is???

i worry for my children's future if this is the world in which they will live...
 
c-bag- from that link you posted-

“these ignorant, petulant, overindulged little b@$+@rds should be forced to live the rest of their lives attached to an a$$-kicking machine!... I hope those brave little souls can find their utopia. If there is anything I can do to help them get there I will be more then happy to help."

This isn't surprising. The American university campus has long been a stronghold of extremist left wing attitudes. It's where the whole notion of "PC" was formed. My growing disgust with the whole mess turned me away from liberalism forever.
 
except for theocracy, fascism, communism, totalitarianism, despotism, imperialism, nazism, and dictatorship, war never solved anything! the Bible states by Solomon no less, "99 men sitting at a table can accomplish many things, but one man of rebellion destroys much". Hello Dictators! to the little despots out there and our Socialists here , i say give War a chance. jesus said during sermon on the mount," blessed are the peacemakers", ... the words here in the origional greek and hebrew is someone who physically dares to do that which takes action to make peace. Doesn't sound like he's talking about the u.n. talking heads here, does it? when you get the chance , read the story of vietnam vet msg Benevidez. It will inspire you.

Here's a great story about this:

Rich White Male Kills 26 Japanese Tourists
Click to expand...

That is indeed a great story. Every comrade should be forced to read it daily! A choice quote:

When a member of a University of Washington campus hate group proposed the erection of a monument in honor of famous mass-murderer and UW alumnus Gregory “Pappy” Boyington, it was only through the courageous resistance of a handful of progressive student senators that his twisted plan didn’t succeed.

Col. Gregory “Pappy” Boyington was a disturbed young aeronautical engineering student who gave up a promising career marching the Boeing picket lines to shoot down 26 Japanese sightseeing planes over the Pacific, killing everyone on board and traumatizing a plethora of innocent marine life when the crippled aircraft hit the water. It was a matter of great embarrassment to the University at the time, and remains so to this day. Yet Boyington was not only decorated by the U.S. government for his brutal acts of aggression, his three-year reign of terror was also immortalized in the offensively titled TV series, Baa Baa Black Sheep. Boyington never served a day in prison, nor did he ever write a children’s book redeeming himself for his crimes. Instead, he made millions hawking Eveready batteries and writing recruitment propaganda for the military-industrial complex, inspiring future generations of innocent children to follow in his bloody footsteps.

In the interests of accuracy, I should point out that the picture posted above by Mr. Penguin has been PhotoShopped to substitute Lenin for George Washington. The real statute is of President Washington holding a sheathed sword. By campus legend, if a virgin ever walked by the statute, he would pull the sword from the sheath. This is a real statute on the UW campus.

And I also noticed that the young Ms. Edwards lists among her accomplishments as being the subject of a swimsuit calendar. Is she not contributing to the objectification of womyn? (Note uber-PC spelling there. ;) )
 
This development, while depressing and sad, isn't the end of the world because there are still patriotic young Americans out there in higher education. I feel sorry for those kids. I know several like them. Theirs is a life of fear, dependence, and hatred of their own country. It is a pitiful thing.

Whomever posted the pics--PLEASE refrain from posting any of the swimsuit pics! Seriously, I attended a major university and it nearly made me sick each day to have to try to learn amongst these spoiled, pot-smoking rich kids like Jill. While I worked 2 jobs, they partied it up with daddy's money. Do you think these "Senators" have ever held a job or had a difficult day in the real world in their miserable lives? These childredn aren't fit to wash Pappy's underwear! Just remember, if the S does hit the F, people like her will the first ones gone.
 
Tucked away in my bookshelf, wrapped in paper to keep it clean, I have an old yellowed, worn out, dog-eared hardback copy of 'Baa Baa Black Sheep'. My parents picked up for me in the late 70's. They got it in Harlingen, TX at the CONFEDERATE Air Force AirSho'. Of course that's before the PC nazis changed the name to the wuss-puss "Commemorative" Air Force.

Inside the front cover it's signed "To Brad, Merry Christmas. Pappy Boyington." It was my Christmas present that year. To a 10 year old kid a book signed by one of his heros was, and is, worth more than gold.

Pappy was a drunk, a womanizer, and a generally poor example most of his life. But he was one hell of a fighter pilot and a natural combat leader who went through more in five years than most of us will in a lifetime.

Ms Edwards is inthe "Honors Croquet League"? Oh, pull-ease:barf: I can see her now in her white flannels, gin & tonic in hand, playing with the proletariat, that's just too funny. I mean,she's certainly entitled to her opinions, but why any sane person would listen to her for anything other than 'entertainment purposes' is beyond me. I feel bad for her parents, they paid for an 'education' that clearly didn't teach her daughter to think.:scrutiny:
 
Student senator Jill Edwards, according to minutes of the student government's meeting last week, said she "didn't believe a member of the Marine Corps was an example of the sort of person UW wanted to produce."

Apparently UW doesn't want to produce intelligent, decisive, versatile leaders capable of overcoming any obstacle in their path to achieve their goal.

More power to them...someone needs to produce indians instead of chiefs I suppose...
