'Mom, look: ghosts!' - screamed my little boy when he was four on a playground pointing at few mothers dressed in traditional Islamic outfits. Posted on 10/21/2010 10:13:12 AM PDT by Big Bureaucracy
'Mom, look: ghosts!' - screamed my little boy when he was four on a playground pointing at few mothers dressed in traditional Islamic outfits.
I guess he will never work for the National Public Radio. NPR fired Juan Williams, liberal journalist and commentator, over the following remark made on O’Reilly Factor:
'I mean, look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country, but when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they're identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous'.The NPR shouldn’t have disowned Juan Williams whose remark fell into the category of President Obama’s grandmother:
'I can no more disown him [Rev. Wright] than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.We should be able to discuss honestly our struggles with stereotypes without being afraid of losing our job. If we keep hiding the truth the solutions for our problems will be based on lies and most likely will not work.These people are a part of me. And they are a part of America, this country that I love.'
why do you keep pimping your blog and it’s not even a conservative blog at that last time I checked?
They will have to rely on more Soros money!
Free speech rules from the left. Ya sure, you betcha! I hope Juan realizes just how tyranical the left really is after this incident.
I am very conservative, I lived in the communist USSR and I am strongly fiscally conservative, pro- free market, pro-freedom, proud to be an American person.
Free Republic is a great forum and I enjoy the conversation.
“why do you keep pimping your blog...”
It’s now “blog pimping” when you post the entire content of the article on FR with no excerpt link?!?!?!?
This anti-blog campaign has descended into sheer lunacy.
If you don’t like bloggers, stop clicking on items in the Bloggers forum! Sheesh, and on a thread about NPR censoring Juan for his views, fer cryin’ out loud.
It’s fund raising week at NPR? LOL!
hey look in breaking news, there are two threads already about this.
When you click everything then that means everything comes up for crying out loud.
WOW
The rest of the gang will show up shortly!
The incident involving Obama’s grandmother apparently was based on hearsay—something his own grandfather told him, maybe to score points with his black grandson, by painting his own wife as a racist (over her reaction to an aggressive panhandler). That Obama would use this to trash his own grandmother, who worked to send him to an expensive private school, to advance his own political fortunes in 2008 tells us what kind of man he is. No class, no sense of decency.
Based on what?
Your blog pimp post yesterday was about how sodomites should be openly welcomed in the military. What is conservative about that?
That's the kind of answer I like to hear. We need more of that !
And you're NOT pimping your blog when you post the whole thing and don't excerpt.
But you ARE doing what we used to call a "vanity post". I've done a couple myself.
FRegards,
exactly
That is more to which I am talking about and of what others who are quick to jump in to defend did not read.
And his last “offering” got pulled - the one whining about how “gays” can’t “be themselves” under DADT!
What is your view of the homosexual agenda including homosexuals in the military?
My post yesterday was about the half-a s s Clinton policy DADT - either ban them from the military or accept them.
I am pro-life, pro-gun, against Ground Zero mosque, against big government, big bureaucracy, against communism, socialism.
I’ve lived in northern USSR where the Gulags are - travel on those rail roads in the cold built by political prisoners - labor camps for those who disagree with the regime on religion, ethnicity, sexuality or just sent there as personal revenge from somebody with power. So forgive me for speaking what I believe - called freedom of speech.
Clinton DADT policy is like trying to get a butt in a room, pretending that the a hole is not attached to it.
Either ban them or accept them.
You can ban a person with a tattoo, you can ban anybody. DADT is nonsense - a person is either able or not able to serve.
DADT is saying - you are not able but don’t tell anybody and you will be fine. It is pure nonsense.
Do you think homosexuals should be allowed in the military? YES or NO
So forgive me for speaking what I believe - called freedom of speech.
What does freedom of speech have to do with coming on a conservative forum and pushing a leftist agenda?
