I want a preemptive autograph. :)
Obama’s thugs have already come and seen me - I emailed Beckwith about it a few months back -
They didn’t try to shut FR down, they were protecting their copyrights as many other publications have done with FR by refusing to allow full article posting.
FR did end up settling after a failed lawsuit defense based on the fair use clause. Jim agreed to abide by their requests and they agreed to not pursue monetary damage claims. If they wanted to shut us down, they wouldn’t have done this.

Institute for Advanced Study
Is the Institute supported by public funds?
In addition to the financial support provided by individual donors and private foundations, some of the Institute’s programs receive funding from the federal government, including the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Security Agency. The State of New Jersey has helped to fund the Institute’s work in theoretical computer science and the IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute. Also, some Members come to the Institute with support from foreign foundations and governments.
Danielle wonders why someone named Barack Hussein Obama, who was raised in Indonesia for awhile; would be scrutinized to a small degree about his background?
After all, he is only running to be President of the United States. Not a real important position.
If he was being selected for something important; say the editorial board of the Washington Post, then it would make sense to really dig into his background.
“Obamas thugs have already come and seen me - I emailed Beckwith about it a few months back -”
I have warned other Freepers to be careful. There is nothing that Obama and his Black Panthers, Nation of Islam and maybe worse friends wouldn’t do to get their thug elected.
I’m shocked that anyone could think a freeper capable of even suggesting that Obama is a Muslim...or that he hates America and wants to see it ruined, or that he isn’t really eligible to become president, or that he is a demon-spawned killer of babies and hates all guns and freedom, or...
I have never seen any credible evidence that Obama is (a) not a Muslim, and (b) a Christian.
I think anyone who is thoughtful has to come to that conclusion; after all, is professing Christianity and then suckling at the teat of racists like Obama did evidence of being a Christian? Hardly.
Just a minor quibble. It was a self-admission.
There is also a consensus by all four schools of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence (i.e., Maliki, Hanbali, Hanafi, and Shafii), as well as Shiite jurists, that apostates from Islam must be put to death. Averroes (d. 1198), the renowned philosopher and scholar of the natural sciences, who was also an important Maliki jurist, provided this typical Muslim legal opinion on the punishment for apostasy (vol. 2, p. 552):than he does from anything FReepers might say...
"An apostate is to be executed by agreement in the case of a man, because of the words of the Prophet, Slay those who change their din [religion] Asking the apostate to repent was stipulated as a condition prior to his execution."The contemporary (i.e., 1991) Al-Azhar (Cairo) Islamic Research Academy-endorsed Shafii manual of Islamic Law, Umdat al-Salik (pp. 595-96) states:
"Leaving Islam is the ugliest form of unbelief (kufr) and the worst When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostasizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed. In such a case, it is obligatory to ask him to repent and return to Islam. If he does it is accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately killed."Finally, Warraq (p.19) summarizes the means by which convicted apostates have been killed, typically by the sword (i.e., beheading)
" though there are examples of apostates tortured to death, or strangled, burned, drowned, impaled, or flayed. The Caliph Umar [d. 644] used to tie them to a post and had lances thrust into their hearts, and the [Mameluke] Sultan Baybars II (1308-09) made [their] torture legal."
LOL.
TB —like your list but your forgot to list the Pentagon bombing in 2001. Also, because I live in the area, I remember someone bombing/attacking the CIA building in Fairfax, VA sometime in the late ‘80’s? Someone...help me with the dates. I believe the fellow convicted was a Muzzie —
Both of you : add the word *thugs*.
I have had up close and personal encounters with these people and they would not hesitate to physically assault a 5’3’ 60-year-old woman (who just happened to be accompanied by two 6’3’ soldiers), nor would they shy away from lying through their teeth about anyone who disagrees with them in public, including attempts to destroy the opponents’ businesses.
THUGS. That includes the women.
Over a period of 45 years, they have earned my complete opposition and contempt.
“allen and mosk’s teamwork exposing freepers is one more example of that.”
teamwork exposing freepers?
sounds like the future secret police hunting out enemies of the state.
(heil obama and hillary!!!)

MacArthur Foundation, which doles out as much as $500,000 to individuals like Danielle Allen, a Classics professor at University of Chicago, to help her write about Thucydides, Aristotle, and Hobbes.

Open Society Institute
2004 Soros Foundations Network Report
No conversation in the United Statesor anywhere in the world, for that matter, since skin color seems to be a universal indicator of statusis as charged and complex as the one about race. It is, among other things, quite personalwhat MacArthur Fellow Danielle Allen calls racial distrust is deeply ingrained, and every person brings to these matters his or her sense of pride, principle, and hurt. The consequences of past and continuing discrimination affect virtually every matter that OSI deals with, for there can be no truly open society where access and opportunities are limited by race.
personally, I’d have been more afraid of the guy in post # 157
