Ayer's dad was the VP of Con Edison.He grew up surrounded by wealth and priviledge.
Looks like he's back to his bourgeois roots in the hallowed halls of academia.
Many of the Weatherfolks eventually returned to the fold.Their "white skin priviledge"that they hated so much bailed them out once again.

I sometimes think of the young generation, those in college now, those who encounter leftist moonbat professors who must remind them of their own parents.

The young often rebel against their parents. And those like their moonbat parents.

This bodes well for the young today.

[texasbluebell]

Interesting post, thanks for that.

[Caoilfhionn]

Awesome. Thanks! I'm going to study up on these people...reading this info that you provided makes me think I should MAKE TIME TO GO to this thing.

More on George Galloway here.

Galloway received kickbacks from Iraq, has documented involvement in the Palestinian cause, harsh questions have been raised about his "charity" the Mariam Appeal and how the money was spent, plus the exact nature of his involvement with Palestinian businessman Fawas Zureiket is curious. All of these and more- have been part of the rich tapestry of his life since his Iraqi connections became public.

It is alleged that Galloway used the proceeds from his Miriam Appeal "charity" – which he started ostensibly to bring an Iraqi child sick with leukemia to Britain for treatment, for personal purposes. It did not cost the hundreds of thousands of pounds that were donated to the fund by members of the British public, and also Middle Eastern governments, to cure Miriam. Long after Miriam was declared leukemia-free, the charity rocked along, mutating as it went into an appeasenik organisation protesting the war in Iraq. Because it is not a registered charity, it has never had to open its books to the public. The fact that it is not a registered, tax-deductible charity might lead one to believe that charity was never its purpose.

But funds from the Miriam Appeal pale beside funds from Saddam Hussein who allegedly authorized payments to Galloway of approximately $550,000 per year, filtered out of the oil-for-food program, over a period of 10 years.

Sounds like the guy is quite a celebrity as far as the Baathists (Iraq Socialist Party-of which Saddam was a member) go.

Hope you get to go to this.

You'll get to see any number of the aging radical element, with their lovely long gray pony-tails -- that's just the men...

This country won't be safe until they are all in their wheelchairs, and have no strength left to destroy us.

Another Muslim Leftwing unity fest. This program should be called "Death Wish and why we seek Death"

Has Osamama accepted the invite yet?

I think it's far more serious than that, this ideology isn't going away, they're trying to make sure it takes root. They're all about getting through to our young people--that's why there are so many of them TEACHING. Take a look at Evan Coyne Maloney's site--Academic Bias. Watch the movie. It's absolutely chilling.

They may be aging, but as David Horowitz is completely aware, they're grooming University students to be extreme in their politics, and to shut down conservative voices. That's why Horowitz has the Individual Rights Foundation and Students for Academic Freedom. It's also why he's trying to introduce legislation into each of the states--the Academic Bill of Rights in order to provide some coverage for both sides of the issues rather than the commie American-hating side they tell right now.

If the likes of Ward Churchill, old members of SDS and Weathermen are any indication--our kids are being influenced by the people who call conservatives racist--and our society immoral--and Christianity foolish.

Example: Ward Churchill promotes terrorists, calls them "freedom fighters" and suggests that our boys in uniform "frag their officers". That means KILL THEM.

[Alamo-Girl]

Indeed. They have been trying this for five decades in the United States.

Congressional Record January 10, 1963 (read from a book written in the 1950's)

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.

38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

But unlike Europe, it seems that when Americans graduate and enter the free market (and get mugged) many of them change the views that were drilled in their heads while in school. Thus we have had some success against the above agenda - but we dare not "let up" our resistance because they won't.

Maybe they'll invite Bill for a threesome. Should be quite a catfight to see who gets to wear the chaps.

Illinois Freepers, scramble for intercept!

This message brought to you by FREEPNORAD. If anyone wants on or off this ping list, say so here or by freepmail.

[Caoilfhionn]

This message came to me from Move America Forward through email. I thought it was appropriate --because you can see--the Socialist Worker is promoting the tour for Jane Fonda and George Galloway. If you're reading this before the end of the day on Sunday, September 11, 2005 I hope you made the effort to fly the American Flag in front of your house or on display somewhere else prominently.

The flying of Old Glory on this day of infamy is the symbolism of our nation united in the face of a terrorist threat.

Our troops stand in harm's way in Afghanistan and Iraq, and some voices in this country are sounding a cry for retreat and seemingly attempting to play revisionist games with recent events.

It would be great if people all around this nation were reminded of some of the key points below. And perhaps they will be with your help - by sending a link to this post to friends, family members, co-workers and colleagues. And finally, I hope when you read this, you'll realize why we need your participation in the rallies we will hold across the nation the week after next, culminating in the giant "Support The Troops And Their Mission" Weekend in Washington, D.C. Keep watching the Move America Forward Website for more information.

President Bush Thanks Our Troops Serving in Iraq

The War in Iraq is Central

to the War on Terrorism

Some people in this nation have come to the incorrect conclusion that Operation Iraqi Freedom has nothing to do with the attacks against the United States on 9/11.

These people either are ill informed, or they deliberately are trying to mislead the American people in the hopes of turning them against our military, our commander in chief and the mission our men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces are serving in Iraq. In many cases they represent a radical, far-left agenda that most Americans would promptly denounce. One of the strongest advocates for the anti-war effort is the Socialist Worker which is now promoting the anti-war tours of Cindy Sheehan and British socialist politico, George Galloway.

This anti-military constituency ignores the fact that what made Afghanistan such a threat to this nation was that it served as a state-sponsored breeding ground and training ground for terrorism. Al Qaeda operatives were free to gain access to weapons, bomb-making materials and train terrorists in Afghanistan because the government of that nation was sympathetic to the extremist Islamic agenda that was very much anti-American and anti-Israel.

The same situation has existed in Iraq. Saddam Hussein provided a safe-harbor for terrorists to base their operations, gain access to forged papers to travel around the world, and to acquire the materials and weapons to slaughter Americans and other innocents of the West.

As Andrew McCarthy explains in National Review:

"Saddam Hussein's regime was a crucial part of that response because it was a safety net for al Qaeda. A place where terror attacks against the United States and the West were planned. A place where Saddam's intelligence service aided and abetted al Qaeda terrorists planning operations. A place where terrorists could hide safely between attacks. A place where terrorists could lick their wounds. A place where committed terrorists could receive vital training in weapons construction and paramilitary tactics. In short, a platform of precisely the type without which an international terror network cannot succeed."

If you don't want to believe us, maybe you'll believe the Iraqi General who served under Saddam Hussein and witnessed the training of more than 4,000 terrorists at Saddam's orders.

If you're still confused that the terrorist elements under Saddam Hussein's regime were part of the Islamic terrorist coalition (that includes Al Qaeda) maybe we can make it even more straightforward for you.

The individual who leads the terrorists in Iraq right now (who have injured or killed U.S. Troops, Coalition Forces, and Iraqi civilians) is a man named Abu Musab al Zarqawi. He is the head of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

Abu Musab al Zarqawi - Al Qaeda in Iraq

You would think given the fact that the organization shooting at the men and women of our Armed Forces in Iraq was named Al Qaeda in Iraq that it would occur to the anti-war/anti-military/anti-troop crowd that perhaps these were Osama Bin Laden's allies in Iraq.

But, again, they turn a deaf ear towards these facts because the facts undermine their anti-war/anti-military and anti-Bush jihad.

When you read in the newspapers or see on TV someone who says 'maybe we should pull out of Iraq' realize this very important fact: These individuals are saying we should surrender to Al Qaeda... that we should cut and run and admit defeat to the people who have savagely attacked our nation for more than the past decade (including the horrific attacks of 9/11, the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole, the bombings of U.S. Embassies around the world, the original bombing of the World Trade Centers in 1993, etc...).

Lest you think that the idea that the terrorists in Iraq are led by Al Qaeda is a right-wing falsehood, then perhaps you'll accept it when CNN (the most pro-Saddam television network during the two Gulf Wars) says it.

And if you or someone you know still doesn't get the role Iraq plays in the fight against terrorism and the ties to Al Qaeda, maybe hearing from one of the journalists who has been on the scene - in the thick of the battle with these terrorists - will provide a clearer understanding.

Michael Yon recently lamented about the fact that the mainstream news media had failed to realize that they were sitting on one of the most important stories from the fight in Iraq: that the Al Qaeda backed terrorist network in the Mosul area had been badly beaten back by Coalition Forces led by the United States. This would serve as a major victory for the war effort in Iraq, yet most journalists are so out-of-touch with the events in Iraq (and so biased against the military's mission there) that they didn't even realize the scoop beneath their noses:

"...the top Al-Qaeda leader in Mosul writes to the second most wanted man in the world, and describes in amazing detail the weaknesses and impending collapse of the terrorist network in Mosul and surrounds."

Secretary of State Condi Rice Greets U.S. Troops in Afghanistan

The "Bring Them Home Now" Crowd

Want to Surrender in Afghanistan Too

Those who have been taking to the streets (and to the ditches of Crawford, Texas) to argue for U.S. Troops to withdraw from Iraq, have insisted that they support the broader fight against terrorism.

However, these are false words made in a defensive posture, said out of necessity. Many of the same voices who advocate surrendering to the terrorists in Iraq were vocal opponents to a military response against Al Qaeda following the 9/11 attacks on the United States.

Let's take the example of one of the better known anti-Iraq war voices in this country right now, Cindy Sheehan.

Ms. Sheehan told MSNBC's Chris Matthews that she is opposed to the war against the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan as well, because she believes, "that Afghanistan is almost the same thing," as Iraq.

The World Socialist Web Site explained in October 9, 2001, that their reasons for opposing the war in Afghanistan as follows:

"We reject the dishonest claims of the Bush administration that this is a war for justice and the security of the American people against terrorism."

These are now the same phony excuses used by the likes of Jane Fonda, Michael Moore and other leading anti-war critics when they speak out about the fight against terrorism in Iraq.

One of the most common refrains from those opposed to military action in Afghanistan was that we should instead "bomb them with bread" - as if bread and butter were what Osama bin Laden and his compatriots were interested in. They ignore the fact that the agenda of the radical Islamic extremists is to crush the Judeo-Christian world. Their number one targets are Israel and the United States because of who we are, what our values our, and the freedoms we grant to individuals.

But the "bomb them with bread" crowd refuses to accept this reality. And thus, their storyline hasn't changed from Afghanistan to Iraq... they continue on with their "Blame America First" mentality.

• They see America at fault in Iraq - and want to bring home U.S. Troops NOW!

• They saw America at fault in Afghanistan - and felt the U.S. should not take military action against Osama bin Laden.

• And these same misguided voices didn't advocate a U.S. response to any of the dozens of terrorist attacks against the United States in the two decades before 9/11/2001.

So why on earth should we listen to these people now when it comes to how best deal with the terrorist forces in Iraq?

The director of MoveOn.org, Eli Pariser, was one of those in the 'Blame America First' crowd that felt that the blame for the 9/11 attacks rested with the United States, and not the actual terrorists who attacked us.

In fact, Pariser started a 9/11 Peace petition that urged the White House not to take military action against the terrorists.

The petition was housed at the website http://www.911peace.org - but Pariser has had the petition removed to provide cover for MoveOn.org - as it is not a particularly popular position to advocate surrender to the forces of Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan following 9/11.

Here are the links to where the petition used to be found - before Pariser had it taken down:

http://www.911peace.org/petition.php3

http://www.9-11peace.org.cijavahosting.com/action.php3

Eli Pariser, MoveOn, and others are peddling the same 'surrender to terrorism' approach that they advocated after 9/11 in Afghanistan. They were wrong then and they are wrong again today about Iraq.

We Can't Cut & Run Now...

We Can't Allow the Anti-Military Crowd to Undermine the Mission Our Troops Are Serving in Iraq & Afghanistan

I encourage you to accept Move America's invitation you to join them as I have, as we rally together Americans to show our support for our troops and their brave fight against terrorism in Iraq & Afghanistan.

The men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces risk not only life and limb each day, but they must contend with seeing news reports of radical, anti-military extremists taking to the streets denouncing the work our troops do each day. This is demoralizing!

The anti-military crowd is mobilizing for one of the largest anti-war rallies to date - including a cross-country bus caravan and rally.

They're organizing under the "Bring Them Home Now Tour" as you can see here:

http://www.bringthemhomenowtour.org/

But we at Move America Forward believe in giving voice to those Americans who are sick of seeing news media coverage dedicated largely to the dark voices who work to undermine our troops and their mission.

And every time one of these anti-military groups takes to the streets to rally for surrender, we believe patriotic Americans must stand up and prevent another "Vietnamization" from taking place in this nation.

Our country cannot lose the resolve and the will to prevail in the struggle with the terrorists about what kind of world our children inherit.

Please go to the website to find out how you can join in the "We Support The Troops And Their Mission" national bus tour and rally.
