— Ace Apparently Christie's planning to fold the Rutgers (Camden) Campus into nearby Rowan University. I imagine this is a cost-saving move.
It might even be a prestige-increasing move, as there are three Rutgers campuses (another in New Brunswick, another in Newark) but the actual Rutgers is in New Brunswick. The other two seem to have been "branded" Rutgers or something.
I don't know.
So a second year law student at Camden, representing himself as a former SEAL, complained. Current students would still graduate with "Rutgers" on their diplomas. I guess that's the important thing (though is the Rutgers name actually worth much?).
He started asking, "What about my kids?" or something. Like, what about my kids who twenty years from now hypothetically go to a college called Rowan, not Rutgers. Will their degrees say Rutgers on them, Governor?
Um, no. If it's that important to them maybe they should Dream Big and apply to Rutgers.
Anyway, Christie got very hot with him, and called him an idiot.
Update: John Lilyea from This Ain't Hell checked with his Fake SEAL Busting sources and says this guy is definitely a SEAL.
Is he a SEAL? Time will tell. A lot of people say they're SEALs.
He seems pretty whiny.
[Update - Andy] Verdict: SEAL

Just found out my Marine bro in law is heading to Afghanistan again to fight, what candidate Obama and the left called "the good war."... This is his third or fourth time there. We aren't sure how many times hes gone, because he never tells anyone when he gets sent off.
Don't know why he doesn't. Maybe all the "fretting" from people gets to him.. maybe other things... probably just everything together.
We all know Obama, after tripling troop strength in Afghanistan is going to abandon it. His primary concern revolves around the election (using his same Iraq priorities/calculations ) is how to pull enough troops home before the election to make his base happy but not pull so many out that it looks like an embarrassing American defeat on his watch.
What an asshat this man and his trolls are.

Trust me. If he's announcing he's a SEAL, he wasn't. I used to work with a guy who claimed loudly and proudly to be a SEAL. It was the first thing he told me when I met him. Giving his the benefit of a doubt, I asked a couple of questions about Little Creek, VA and also his BUDS class number. He fumbled miserably through trying to speak to these basic questions. I listened to his SEAL exploit stories for several years never challenging him again. He applied for another internal job and provide my name for a reference. After the HR person called me, I told him I gave him a glowing reference. He seemed a little anxcious about what I told the HR person. I set his mind to ease by explaining that I told the HR person anyone who has served their country proudly as a Navy SEAL would get nothing but the glowing comments from me. I told him that I really played up what kind of character he had and that his SEAL background naturally made him worthy of the security considerations required for the job he had applied for.
He turned green. He then, sheepishly, told me his real background which, of course, had nothing to do with the SEALS, but a lot to do with a NAVY brig. I never told him any better and I never heard him brag to anyone else about being a SEAL.

It did not occur to them that if Allred thought she could sue Rush in civil court, she wouldn't be proposing this ludicrous idea for the Florida DA to prosecute Rush.
I recall from law school that a number of states still had laws on the books against "impugning the chastity of a woman" and "accusing someone of having a loathesome disease". Certainly first amendment would win out eventually, but the existence of a statute authorizing a suit in the first place is enough to be a real pain in the ass.

156 Out of curiosity, what does being a SEAL have to do with his argument? That the state shouldn't try to trim the fat (NPI), especially in the educational establishment?
Posted by: Big Fat Meanie at March 09, 2012 03:51 PM (Ec6wH)
Lefties will bring up their military history because they know that we on the Right have great respect for our military, and they assume that mentioning their service will muzzle our protests (see Kerry, John; Blumenthal, Dick; Murtha; John). What they're too stupid to realize is that it's one thing to respect a person's service, but it's another thing entirely to respect the PERSON. Military folks who put their feet square in their mouth are still idiots, and we still call them on it.

Rowan used to be Glassboro State University and was the site of a Cold War summit between Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin and President Lyndon "Bag Ears" Johnson in 1967. So it's got that going for it.
On the other hand, so long as the school name ends in "Camden", it doesn't amount to a hill of beans what the preceeding name is. Camden: Becoming the A$$hole of The World Would Be A Step Up For Us!

Yes, Rutgers IS New Brunswick, but the whole Rutgers system and the Rutgers name has been in flux for a long time. For instance, the UMDNJ (the med school) has changed names at least 3 times in the last 15 years, I think. At first they want to be associated with Rutgers, then they don't, then they do.
The Newark and Camden campuses suffer the indignity of having law schools, but otherwise, they are really community colleges. Come to think of it, I don't know why they don't just call Rowan by the name Rutgers-Camden instead of the other way around.
And, yes, the whole thing is about having Rutgers on your diploma. That's why Kearney State in Nebraska became UN-Kearney.

I fail to see what this guy [the 'Seal'] is whining about. ....Maybe I am just being dense, but is it just because he wants to see the word 'Rutgers' on his diploma?
He is probably getting the benefit of GI-Bill for his tuition, right? .....So, he's probably not concerned about there being any upcoming savings on his tuition rate from this cost-cutting measure.

It has come to my attention that during World War Two, the United States bombed German cities and even used incendiaries. It is practically certain that in some of these incendiary attacks, copies of Mein Kampf were burned. It is with deep regret that I learned of this disrespect shown to this book which constituted to the German people more than just a book but was, in fact, the basis for their entire culture. So now, on behalf of the American people, I apologize to the German people.

Tried to pass himself off as a gulf war veteran got busted by the mil blogs turns out he was stationed in Germany during the gulf as part of a mrls crew.
Claims he joined the Army to take advantage of veterans benefits for so he could become a lawyer. As far as I known he never became a lawyer.

I wanted to bring something to my vet's office because they could not have been nicer or more concerned about me when I had to have my doggeh put to sleep. Hugs, phone calls, multiple sympathy cards with hand written notes from the vets, etc.
So I bought some of those miniature liquor bottles of Bailey's (that was his name) and took them to a handmade chocolate store (he was a chocolate lab) to have a tray made up. The woman will intersperse the bottles among the chocolates. They even have chocolate figures of dogs and dog bones.
Crazy, right?

Wow. ....After watching that....and the fact that he's a Dem....this whole thing looks like a set-up. .....The reporters are asking feeding him 'questions', leading him even further on how to spin this.
The guy mentions "veterans who are struggling". ....Yeah. And who's fault is that? Huh? .....Not Christie. .....Look to your fellow Dems for the reason for that.,

Yeah, I know I should go to another Vet. ....Even my husband agrees that he's a stuckup asshole. ....But he knows him through his business as well, so it would be noticed if we switched. ....I make him come with me every time we have to take the Beardog in for his shots, tho....so he helps to make sure that the Vet-hole isn't mean to him. I love my dog. We are practically inseparable.
Posted by: wheatie at March 09, 2012 01:12 PM (dauG/)
Muts are genetically superior for the most part. Vets should like those as they are generally healthier. I've got two pure breeds, but they are rescues and I don't know anyone well informed on dog health who actually looks down on muts. Get a better vet.

It's MLRS rather than mrls. That's what I did in the Army as well. Don't just 'em based on Markos, who is an unpatriotic asshole. Most... all but a handful of the 13Ms I met joined because they love their country.

Meh. Fair enough. I knew lots of people that joined with the GI Bill/College Fund as a major reason. As long as they did their job, no problem, thanks for serving, good luck.
Kos is an asshole, but not because his reason for joining up wasn't sufficiently patriotic for me.

Yeah, that's a good point too.
A lot of people use the military as a way to work hard and better themselves. Maybe they weren't perfect when they joined, but they were willing to work and serve their country. So long as they did so honorably, they deserve respect.
Markos is an asshole anyway, for his behavior later on, such as his 'I feel nothing' comment about Americans murdered and their corpses mutilated in Iraq.

Some Camden fun facts.
Although once a thriving center for manufacturing and industry, Camden is perhaps best known for its struggles with urban dysfunction. Three Camden mayors have been jailed for corruption, the most recent being MiltonMilan in 2000. Since 2005 the school and police have been operated by the NJ the takeover will expire in 2012. In 2008, Camden had the highest crime rate in the U.S. with 2,333 violent crimes per 100,000 people while the national average was 455 per 100,000. Camden public schools spend $17,000 per student per year and two thirds of the students graduate. Two out of every five residents are below the national poverty line.
Picture 2 lost white guys in a yellow VW old beetle asking for directions. Best came from a drunken crack-head, most people wouldn't even talk to us as they thought we were idiots trying to score.

The law student appears to be a former SEAL. After serving his country, he went back to Iraq to do a charity run for "peace" and has also run for office as a Democrat at the state level in NJ. Made an annoying pointless attention-grabbing crybaby speech about a necessary budget cut.
Long story short: former SEAL now the kind of seal that claps on command and balances balls on its nose.

1. One of the big issues in this merger is that they never really consulted anyone at Rutgers-Camden to see if they wanted the merger. It was just announced and everyone was told that this is what the government wanted, so their own opinion does not matter.
2. Such mergers in the past never created the hoped for cost savings, but instead just caused more expenses because of the massive merger costs and increased bureaucracy.

I've only met one SEAL in my life, but he was not prissy and he was not a whiner. Not even close. Very friendly and down to earth, and I get the impression he wouldn't complain even if his own life was at risk.
SF guys have the credibility to talk smack about SEALs, and more power to them. That kind of competitive spirit is healthy. But just because this student was a prick doesn't mean his service wasn't heroic or at least honorable.
