In this nation we live in many of us can just not get a handle on some things and some people and ideals. Sure, we can all recognize that there are folks with some differing views on politics and America’s role in the 21st century world. However, for those of us who love America and its greatness we simply cannot grasp how some could live here and take advantage of the liberties of America while supporting its enemies.

Robert Jensen, a journalism professor at the University of Texas, is such a person. Now Professor Jensen, a self-confessed radical, would never freely admit to loathing America and the Constitution, but frankly, he does not have to. His hateful and ignorant writings tell the true story about his decidedly anti-American ideals.

Consider that Jensen never seems to write or say anything good about America. At best, he will admit there are some good principles about the United States. Of course when one considers how many times this man has called America a terrorist state, or hinted that we are just a bunch of imperialistic people seeking to subjugate the rest of the world, you begin to see how he really feels.

Consider some of the incredibly inane things Jensen has opined about America in recent years. He has written repeatedly about America being guilty of killing innocent civilians, and bringing terror to the world. He has berated our system of government, by far the best system in the world, as backwards and inhumane, and of course racist and oppressive.

Possibly the most asinine things Mr. Jensen has written lately are his praise of Yasir Arafat, one of the worlds most vicious terrorists, and his celebrating what his demented mind sees as American military defeat in Iraq. In fact, Mr. Jensen even says the world will be safer and better off when America is not only defeated but dismantled as well.

Now Mr. Jensen is an American, no matter how much this obviously irritates his poor Socialist soul. Moreover, as an American he is free to wrap his hate and ignorance in the United States Constitution. He is quite free to preach his anti-American and pro-terrorist rhetoric all day long. There is, however, something quite sickening about a cowardly little man, who defends murderers and terrorists and says the world will be better if America is defeated and dismantled, while using the American freedoms to do so.
Now I am sure if Robert Jensen reads this he will squeal about how he has a right to dissent and how he would is not anti-American, or pro-terrorist. Well sorry to upset you Mr. Jensen, but when you celebrate American military defeat, which of course is not even close to happening, and heap praise on terrorists like the ones we fight in Iraq and Yasir Arafat then yes, yes, yes, you are both anti-American and pro-terrorist.

Now consider this Mr. Jensen, you are using your freedom of speech to support America’s demise as a world power. You have done so repeatedly and you will likely continue to do so. I wonder Mr. Jensen, have you ever truly considered how strange it is that you use freedoms that would be non-existent if America fell, as you wish to happen.

I would hope you might offer yourself at least a little time to think about that irony. You seek to destroy the very country that protects your freedom to speak your hate. Here is yet another interesting question you just might allow your mind to ponder. The very troops you are hoping are defeated and killed while fighting terrorists are American men and women who are fighting to preserve YOUR right to spew your venom.

Now before Mr. Jensen, you claim not to be hopeful of American soldiers deaths in Iraq consider what your hateful rantings really mean. When you cheer a nation’s military defeat, you are, in fact, cheering the deaths of that nations troops. Face it Mr. Jensen, nations do not lose wars, as you want America to do, if they do not lose soldiers killed in massive numbers. Tell me Mr. Jensen how many brave young Americans dying will sate your hatred?

Tell me one more thing Mr. Jensen do you care, even a little about the pain you have caused the grieving families and friends of the soldiers who have given their lives to defend your freedoms? Do you ever feel even the smallest twinge of guilt that you are, in effect, spitting on the graves of not only those who have given their lives in defense of your freedoms but every American soldier who ever fell in the cause of liberty? Do you care Mr. Jensen? Or does your hatred of America run so deep that you feel no guilt? How about the innocent Israeli children slaughtered by Arafat? Do you cheer their deaths too Mr. Jensen?

Now I might consider asking you the most obvious of questions Mr. Jensen. That question, naturally being if you hate us so much why don’t you just leave? It is a fair question but you, of course, would never leave America and the prosperity and freedom it gives you. Clearly, you are not only a supporter of terrorism but also a hypocrite as well Mr. Jensen.

Just one more question Mr. Jensen. Are you so foolish as to believe you would still enjoy a right to speak if the United States fell? Are you so out of touch as to think your Socialist utopia would honor your right to dissent? 

Just one more thing Mr. Jensen, please feel free to call me on this column. I would welcome the chance to dismantle your evil ravings in an open debate. Now I have heard you on Sean Hannity’s show and Michael Medved’s as well. When challenged you showed your elitist nature and tried to paint these men as unable to grasp your superior intellect. Sad truth is this Mr. Jensen, you are not a man of superior intelligence at all. You are simply a hateful little man who has been educated beyond your hat size.
