Let’s Burn Kris Kobach at the Stake

This is getting hypocritically ridiculous.

You probably don’t know who Kris Kobach is, but you need to. Kobach is a law professor at the University of Missouri and helped put together Arizona’s immigration law. You know that law right? The one a majority of Americans agree with?

Well, to heck with tenure, folks are out to get Kobach.

Chris Salazar, UMKC alum, said, “As an individual, I’m very alarmed, as an alumnus of this institution, about that type of issue’s impact on the community.”

Floretino Camacho’s concern is whether Kobach is teaching the law or his own views on the law.

UMKC has issued a statement that said that Kobach’s involvement in the law is not work done on the behalf of the university.

Kobach told KMBC, “It is disturbing when some groups think a professor should be disciplined or lose his job because he is a conservative, or believes that immigration laws should be enforced.”

This Camancho fellow can’t be all that bright if he made it through law school and came away thinking there was only one side to an argument. What are they teaching at Missouri?

In any event, the University of Missouri says it will defend Kobach’s academic freedom.

Something tells me if Kris Koback were not running for Kansas Secretary of State this would not be an issue. I bet this is the first Republican the law professors at UM have ever really wanted to get elected, if only so he’d get out of their hair.

    Since Kansas City is bisected by the state line, a lot of the faculty live in Kansas,

    When the UM alumni states he is concerned about “that type of issue’s impact on the community” what is he saying? He doesn’t want law students to be taught the definition of illegal by a LAW professor??? What is he afraid of? Maybe that Americans may wake up one morning and smell the coffee of truth? That we may come together as one nation and say “ENOUGH”? Enough of this nonsense. Enough of up being defined as down. Enough of right being portrayed as wrong. Enough of truth being turned into lies. Their are people in our country illegally, meaning they have no right to be here – and now that private citizen Kris Kobach does something about it, he is figuratively burned at the stake. Enough.

    …Kris Kobach taught a class on The Constitution to around 400 members of the general public at Kansas City’s Hyatt Regency. The class was 3 hours, with no breaks. I could have sat for 3 more–I was spellbound. Kris Kobach knows his stuff.

    Nancy and Harry need a Kris Kobach constitution seminar. They could learn something.

    He’s not just a “one note” conservative on immigration. He is impressive down the line. I’ve contributed to his Secretary of State campaign and would urge others here to do so as well.
