Taxpayers in the Sunshine State certainly put up with their fair share of muck. Tallahassee, with its two state universities and a community college surely sees its share of tax dollar usage.
I’m not a smart man, but I know what waste is.
We have all heard stories of liberal educators infiltrating our colleges and universities by staying on campus long after degrees have been obtained in order to drill liberal agendas into the subconsciousness of newly graduated high school kids.
While in most cases the the sneaky profs usually keep their intentions secret, we have here in Tallahassee one such educator who doesn’t mind broadcasting his fun views. So if you are a young mind who is just trying to figure out what you believe or if you are an old hat who needs a refresher course, here are T. Rex’s Reasons to be a Republican:
- If you are radically religious.

Now I don’t know if you qualify as a Republican by meeting just one of these “Reasons”, but I guess it would be a good start. If you want to be a really good Republican, you should probably shoot for more than one of these. If you are interested in tying in the Florida tax dollars to this list, look no further than the campus of Tallahassee Community College and the History and Social Science Division, where T. Rex or Kenneth Quinnell educates young minds in the field of Political Science. This list came from his website T. Rex’s Guide To Life which has since been relegated to the archives of the internet now that he is busy with sponsoring the TCC College Democrats and heading up the Leon County Young Democrats all while being the founder of the Florida Progressive Coalition.
I’m sure TCC President Bill Law loves having someone on staff who feels that a couple of reasons to be a Republican are that “you believe that poor people deserve to be poor.” and “you think men have the right to rape their wives.” That is quality education from a State employee. I hope parents think twice about paying for their kids to attend Quinnell’s section of Political Science.
Typical conservative response. This was a humor column from my old website and clearly had nothing to do with teaching or state jobs or taxpayer funds. In fact, my students actually get extra credit if they can figure out my party and ideology from what I do in class. In the last year, one person got the extra credit because I’m neutral in class, even though that isn’t required and few professors, conservative or liberal, keep their views out of class.
Good thing we have this thing called freedom of speech where I am allowed to talk about things outside class that have no affect on class and I don’t get persecuted for that. Conservatives, though, often say they believe in things like freedom of speech while not actually believing in it. Sounds like you fit that description.
And, truthfully, there are examples of conservatives who believe every single thing on that list. They aren’t the majority of conservatives or of Republicans, but you can’t find any liberals who believe those things.
And at least I have the nerve to openly say what I say without having to hide behind anonymity. Coward.
The only thing funny about this is the fact that you get a paycheck taken from the pockets of hard working Floridians. Having the nerve to find humor in other peoples trouble is a great personal attribute to possess. Having the nerve to denigrate others openly is obviously a talent. Good for you, show yourself so that Florida taxpayers see what their money funds.
