Editor,
The intellectual rot and apathy on the campus of the University of New Mexico breaks the god damn heart. I’ve been sitting back to see if anyone would respond to L.X. Macuahuitl’s screeds. No one has, so here goes.
On Sept. 8, the Daily Lobo published my letter, “Rational and Educated Americans should vote for Hillary Clinton,” which was mostly about the book, “Tyrants - 2,500 Years of Absolute Power And Corruption.” The majority of the letter was about the history of tyranny through human history. It ended with short ashout out for the centrism of the Clintons and Obama.
This letter seemed to trigger Daily Lobo reader L.X. Macuahuitl. He replied on Sept. 15 with “Hillary Clinton is the face of Political Corruption.” Macuahuitl charges that the Clintons are guilty of “High Crimes and Treason” over the last 30 years, and that Hillary has brain damage from head injuries and increasingly displays the signs and symptoms of illness, and that the rigged liberal media is covering up these crimes and sicknesses.
If she is so brain damaged, how did she escape prosecution for 30 years? Either Hillary is fairly honest, or the Republicans SUCK at investigations.
Macuahuitl continues: “The crap sandwich that is this electoral decision is distracting from the real issues endangering our republic. The current cadre of political whores and psychopaths, of both political parties, are incapable of reforming or addressing the problems they helped create.”
This is BS. The POTUS reached out to the GOP on the economy, on the war(s), on health care and immigration, but the GOP remained intransigent. They claim it isn’t because the POTUS is half Black, so what else is it?
Here is how I closed my Sept. 8 letter: “It’s remarkable that the only two Presidents in modern times, Obama and Clinton (42) who came in and cleaned up Reagan and Bush’s voodoo economics, slashed unemployment, while raising taxes on the wealthy, causing massive deficits to plummet and the stock markets to soar, even while expanding health coverage for children and adults, are so despised by so many Americans as sell-outs and failures.”
Here is how Macuahuitl responds: “If the answer to successful governance of an empire (nation) were ever growing rates of taxation and public spending, over-regulation of business and manipulation of the citizenry, cultural and currency debasement, corruption and greed of public officials and bread and circuses distractions while national sovereignty is dismantled, then Rome would still rule the world.”
Does he believe that gay Americans getting married and being miserable just like everyone else, is a sort of cultural debasement? How is having regulations, like not having lead in the water, a bad thing?
Under President Bill Clinton, government spending plummeted, just like Public Sector employment (government jobs) plummeted under Obama. We’ve seen what happens when leaders like Gov. Martinez refuse to raise taxes: we get a weakened University, a crime ridden city and a failed state.
On Oct. 23 Macuahuitl (Who clearly watched the debates) writes: “Mrs. Clinton — ill, frail and evil beyond normal folk’s understanding — will be the ‘winner’ of the general. All the stops are pulled and all the minions of the shadow government are out in force. Lies, more lies and damned lies are the order of the day, but more insidious is the role of the 4th estate in this charade of mass manipulation.”

What? Today the Daily Lobo published Macuahuitl’s latest screed: “This is, arguably, about treason. REAL treason, not the namby-pamby misuse of the term that often flies around the internet and elsewhere.”
The punishment for treason is death. Does David Lynch, editor of the Daily Lobo agree that the Clintons should be put to death? Then why print it? What happened to this flagship University? The intellectual rot, breaks the god damn heart!
I recently received a two day unpaid suspension from the University of New Mexico for my Sept. 19 letter to the Daily Lobo about a press conference by Governor Susana Martinez, which she eventually cancelled. I have never had a problem taking responsibility for my actions or failures. I am proud that I do not have to hide behind a fake name or pseudonym.
Bonne chance.
