C-SPAN aired an appearance of Mr. Chumpsky at West Point Military Academy April 20. Chomsky was evidently invited by a gushing West Point philosophy professor, Robert Tully, who had such reverence for Noam that I wondered why my tax dollars were supporting such an America hater as Chomsky as well as the salary for the leftist professor at West Point.

The young, impressionable cadets offered Chomsky a little bit extra applause and a gift at the end of his address. The speech was actually shorter than the overly ingratiating introduction given by the anti-military West Point professor Tully.

Chomsky blasted the U.S. for provoking the Japanese prior to WW II, belittled the good intentions of the Bush administration for entering Iraq, and generally promoted that other awful waste of tax money - the United Nations - as being the only means of salvation for the world. Chomsky, a Jew, went on to denigrate Israel and defend Islam. Chomsky also accused the United States of waging a tyrannical war against Cuba for the past 50 years. Take that to the battle field, West Point graduates.

Question: Chomsky is an incorrigible American internationalist [someone who insists that the U.S. is always using its super power status to the detriment of the rest of the world, and the U.S. should be "knocked down a bit" to level the playing field -thus elevating foreign dictators, etc.] but this Professor Tully at West Point who was instrumental in scheduling Chomsky, should not be sharing his leftism with the Cadets. They can learn how to hate America later - after graduation - from the likes of former Marine General Tony Zinni, John Murtha, or Wesley Clark.
