'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 OReilly 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 shouldnt have disowned Juan Williams whose remark fell into the category of President Obamas 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.'
‘I did not try to get your previous thread pulled and I didn’t want it to be pulled’
Thank you, I appreciate the civil discussion.
I don’t see how my position is leftist - I am against DADT that helps gays serve secretly in the military.
Half truth - half lie is the Clinton liberal policy. Honesty is conservative approach.
he or she doesn’;t seem to understand that this is a conservative site where the homo agenda is not advanced here plus they seem unable to understand that being a queer is having a mental disorder.
I’m beginning to think that this blog is a rip off from big Govt by Andrew and that this poster is here to further an agenda.
Hey maybe Mc Cain the media attention seeking little girl is here EEK
DADT lets them lie and serve - the policy is bad.
USSR and Bulgaria
You are in favor of allowing homosexuals to serve OPENLY in the military and that's leftist.
Honesty is conservative approach.
I disagree. Being honest about wanting to advance a leftist agenda doesn't somehow make it conservative.
USSR, ????????
I said which country, USSR was a collection of commie countries.
Now you did say Bulgaria but you said AND Bulgaria
I have been to and spent time there in Sophia , Ruse, Gabrovo(sp) and a few other smaller much smaller towns so which town was you in Bulgaria
they should not be allowed to serve at all .
now do you think they should serve yes or no?
‘have you ever served?
I have so when it comes to this subject I have a little more understanding on how it will change the military and how it will ruin it.’
USSR had a mandatory service/draft for the boys/men. I am a woman I did not serve, I came to America at 27.
I lived in communist country and you didn’t - does it mean that you are not allowed to express opinion on communism?
Again - my post was already pulled - all my comments deleted - the discussion was over yesterday.
I consider myself a conservative.
I think it would be a lot of fun to torment that trollop.
I asked which country you lived in as you said USSR, .
Now do you know what USSR stands for?
It’s a collection of countries so for instance when I ask you that I would expect you to reply by saying Czech or Romania.
Also seeing as you are from there then you must surely know who is the greatest person to be in Europe right now from there as he is a hero to everyone in Bulgaria.
where?
I served for 8 years on active duty. I know about how this would change and ruin the military.
I was born in Plovdiv Bulgaria. My parents used to work in the USSR - so I spend my childhood there. After the fall of communism my family returned to BG, where I went to college and worked at Darik Radio Sofia - which is the local version of the talk radio in the USA.
I agree I’d love to get that attention seeker on this subject.
Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia (at the time) or Romania were not part of the USSR - they were part of the Eastern Block.
so you must know about Bulgaria hero right now, yes?
you missed the point.
I asked which country and you replied USSR.
USSR was a collection of contries.
The USSR was collection of countries in the sense the USA is a collection of states.
Bulgaria was not part of the USSR.
Yes it is. You keep saying if they are screened and able to serve, they should. They do not belong in the military.
DADT allows them to serve by encouraging them to lie.
How do you think they served when they were banned? THEY LIED. There is no test to find if someone is a homosexual because it is a behavior.
the answer will not be on bing or google , it is known by the person on the street over there...
did you ever see CSKA
‘Also seeing as you are from there then you must surely know who is the greatest person to be in Europe right now from there as he is a hero to everyone in Bulgaria.’
What do you mean?
