As I read Mr. Walker’s contemptuous tirade against the College Republicans for their collection effort to send care packages to our troops overseas, I wondered to myself what Mr. Walker has done to help the very people whose cause he claims to champion.

Mr. Walker’s vileness shows very clearly in his contempt for anything with the title “Republican” attached to it, as well as his contempt for our troops overseas, fighting in wars that he disagrees with. It is my guess that Mr. Walker would rather have our troops stateside, responding to attacks on our home soil than to be proactive in searching out our enemies and facing them on distant battlefields.

Did the faculty and student body that are part of the intensive English and orientation program hold any fundraisers this year for those very Americans Mr. Walker used as a prop in his attack on the College Republicans? I would wager that the College Republicans have probably done more for those very same people that Mr. Walker claims are oppressed than Mr. Walker has actually done himself.

Being a paid faculty member of a college, I would assume that Mr. Walker is an educated person. Being educated, many would think that if Mr. Walker truly wanted to bring attention to the plight of the hungry, homeless Americans, he would do so by not attacking another charitable program.

I would respectfully suggest that if Mr. Walker wants to correct what he perceives to be a social injustice to actually do something about it. Instead, he chose to sit at a keyboard/bully pulpit degrading the good deeds of students who were thinking of others before themselves. His tirade presents him as an immature, selfish and political partisan.

Congratulations to the College Republicans for a selfless act of humanity. All of you give me hope for the future of this great nation as you are doers of deeds.
