John, you really do need to be a professional editorial writer. Your stuff is so much better than anything out there.

I don’t think Helms made that comment.

Thank you, Ms. CEO Shiller!

“there must be some kind of SSI program for old hippies.”

Some years ago, I read a story about an old folk’s home that catered exclusively to American communists. I believe it was located in California (naturally), but don’t know if it still exists.

My post referred to Jesse Jackson.

Yeah, Charles Krauthammer, a panelist on FOX, made this analogy on Wednesday or Thursday night. They put the quote up on the screen. Jackson said that in 1993.

Time to cut off all plubic funding of all media.

If they cannot survive on their own they deserve to die.

When they get around to blowing up something liberals care about--not like American soldiers or the Pentagon, but, say, a mosque or something identified as having nothing to do with white males--they'll start to care. (Seriously.)

That will never happen since they both work for the side of evil. Ever notice how secular leftists never seem to have a problem with Islam even though the two ideologies appear completely incompatible? Ever notice how many times Islamic terrorists spout the same rhetoric as secular leftists? They are both on the same team; they just work opposite ends of the battlefield.

Washington-based NPR said the firing was the culmination of a long series of run-ins with Williams in which he was warned to stick to news analysis and not veer into personal opinions or inflammatory commentary. NPR executives have also said they have been concerned that Fox News has used Williams, an avowedly liberal analyst, to paint NPR itself as a liberal news organization rather than a nonpartisan one.

You are absolutely correct.

Liberalism at its core is anti-theism, and anti-God (the real one).

Every facet of its ideology is based on hatred of the Almighty, His character, His laws, His word, and His authority.

Liberalism plays the same card hand again and again: "the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

The problem with that precept is that they fail to read history. In every single, solitary case throughout the human experience, allying yourself with evil in the hopes that it ultimately benefits you fails completely. It is the oldest trick in Satan's bag of tricks, and human beings fall for it every time.

Islam is more than a "religion"; it is the political, economic, and ideological rail road that will empower the anti-Christ. I firmly believe that. The biblical prophesies of a one world religion, government, and economic system must come true, they will come true, and Islam and its brutality are a stark framework for this diabolical system coming our way, and their way.

Feminists, homosexuals, idolaters, and all wicked people will someday learn they made a deal with the Devil, because they hated Judeo-Christianity more than they loved its freedom, liberty, blessings, and inherent goodness.

Actually, this happens in the Islamic World ALL OF THE TIME, it is just seldom reported (because it is so routine?)! Perhaps the most famous of these that actually did get reported upon, as part of the Iraq conflict, was the February 2006 bombing of the al-Askari Mosque (the Golden Mosque) in Samara Iraq. This Mosque is one of the holiest Shi'ite shrines and was probably destroyed by Sunni 'extremists' in hopes of provoking a complete collapse of Iraq into a total religious civil war and indeed it came very close.

Beyond this single instance, history is replete with Islam-on-Islam attacks from short years after its founder's death. Our media's 'horror' at military attacks near or even at mosques and shrines are laughable when you consider that their members think nothing of storing weapons and explosives there, even when children are going to school in that same building.

BUT OUR ELITE MEDIA is deeply tied up in multi-culturalism and self-loathing for the wealth and history of Western Civilization. They gladly report our bad things, Abu-Ghraib, but willingly ignore corresponding bad behavior as a misunderstood cultural right.

[No sarcasm was injured in the preperation of this message!]

If anyone at NPR had any sense they'd fire Madame Schiller AND his running dog lackeys.

Alas, they don't and she'll continue to be around kvetching about an ungrateful and IGNANT public who just can't understand any of this.

That's the latest Leftwingtard Mantra ~ that the American public is too stupid to appreciate their genius. We hear it from Obama, from Biden, from Harry Reid, from all that crowd.

It's the donations we have to go after next. At the moment donations are tax exempt for the donors.

Those donations should no more be tax exempt than donations to Bob Jones University, or the Republican party, or to the Washington Post!

I cannot imagine any CEO surviving after being asked about the firing of a high profile staffer, and choosing to comment on it with vitriol in a public venue. The NPR CEO should have already been demoted or terminated by the Board for her incompentence. If she is a representative of NPR, they have no “standards.”

More interesting than his firing was this from the article:
Fox News gave Williams a new contract worth nearly $2 million.
They did not specify the terms, but $2 million! I wonder what NPR paid him.
