Affixing a name to the Traitors Tree

Professor of English John Daly of Warren Community College in Herndon Virginia, for the following statement:

"Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors and fight for just causes and for people's needs"

--emphasis mine

If this is what comes of Liberal Philosophy, then America is in serious trouble. Not only is the War on Terror a fight from which we cannot run, avoid or lose, now we have to wage war on another front-- American Liberalism. Not only is this philosophy a blight in the minds of those who espouse it, but America will suffer an ignoble death, and soon, unless Liberalism is euthanised from the American consciousness. But as previously stated, only a larger more powerful Ideal can crush this ideal. And I'm not so certain Conservatism is up to the task. Liberalism will ultimately destroy this country, of this I have no doubt.

Here is the full unedited text of Professor Daly’s statement, made via email to Rebecca Beach, a Young America's Foundation activist:

November 13, 2005

Dear Rebecca:

I am asking my students to boycott your event. I am also going to ask others to boycott it. Your literature and signs in the entrance lobby look like fascist propaganda and is extremely offensive. Your main poster "Communism killed 100,000,000" is not only untrue, but ignores the fact that CAPITALISM has killed many more and the evidence for that can be seen in the daily news papers. The U.S. government can fly to dominate the people of Iraq in 12 hours, yet it took them five days to assist the people devastated by huricane Katrina. Racism and profits were key to their priorities. Exxon, by the way, made $9 Billion in profits this last quarter--their highest proft margin ever. Thanks to the students of WCCC and other poor and working class people who are recruited to fight and die for EXXON and other corporations who earning megaprofits from their imperialist plunders. If you want to count the number of deaths based on political systems, you can begin with the more than a million children who have died in Iraq from U.S.-imposed sanctions and war. Or the million African American people who died from lack of access to healthcare in the US over the last 10 years.

I will continue to expose your right-wing, anti-people politics until groups like your won't dare show their face on a college campus. Real freedom will come when soldiers in Iraq turn their guns on their superiors and fight for just causes and for people's needs--such freedom fighters can be counted throughout American history and they certainly will be counted again.

Prof. John Daly

A college professor advocates soldiers turning their weapons on superior officers? In effect calling for military personnel to commit treason? This man does not need to be teaching at any college. He needs to be arrested and tried for treason.
