Palm Beach Post writer ‘appalled’ by freedom of the press
BizPac Review ^ | 5/5/2013 | Jack Furnari

Posted on 05/05/2013 9:44:19 AM PDT by Jacvin

When Stacey Singer of the liberal Palm Beach Post tweeted to me Friday that she was “appalled” I’d “ever post such a thing,” I was kind of surprised. When I figured out what post she was talking about, I responded with the dark sarcastic part of my personality.

Randy Schultz is The Post’s ultra-progressive Editorial Page editor, and from what I understand, Singer works closely with him.

The post Singer was “appalled’ about, “Nearly one-third of voters think armed revolution may be needed,” written by BizPac Review’s Tom Tillison, involved a poll by Fairleigh Dickinson University that found 29 percent of registered U.S. voters believe armed revolution might be necessary in the next few years.

I was on my way back from Tallahassee when the post went up, and I only skimmed it, so I thought maybe I had missed something. Had Tillison advocated for armed rebellion?

And they wonder why their subscription rate is plummeting. You can’t ignore a third of the population.

LOL!

Stacy Singer, et. al. have no problem allowing Muslims in to this country. A high percentage of them have no problem using weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in Obama/MSM speak as they describe the Boston Bombers. BTW, where did I hear WMD before? Oh, that’s right Bush didn’t find any WMD in Iraq! How about some consistency here, Ms. Singer?

They are Jack A$$e$, each and everyone of those left-wingers.

There was a post yesterdat about a PEW poll saying that 2.11% of American muslims are OK with blowing up/killing those insulting Islam.

Do the math. It’s the population of America’s 5th largest city. 1.5 MILLIOM

I brainlocked on the numbers...Sorry folks. ;(

The article had 18% of all American Muslims OK with it, With an additional more than OK. The figure works out to 1.5M muslims. Over 1 in 4 good with blowing you up at some point for being an infidel.

http://www.islamist-watch.org/blog/2011/09/pew-poll-quantifies-the-radical-minority-of-us

Four weeks after the Abu Dhabi Gallup Center released its study of Muslim Americans (IW analysis here), the Pew Research Center followed suit by publishing a survey (PDF here) of far greater value due to its broader range of topics, more direct questioning, and extensive demographic cross tabs. Though the media, like Pew, have emphasized the mainstream attitudes of most U.S. Muslims, the data indicate that radical views are held by a small but important minority that cannot be ignored. These and other interesting results are highlighted below:

*Radical Muslims remain uncommon in the U.S. — but not uncommon enough. Muslims’ opinions of al-Qaeda are 5% favorable (2% very, 3% somewhat) and 81% unfavorable (70% very, 11% somewhat); 14% did not answer. This is a step forward, as only 68% recorded disapproval in 2007. Furthermore, 8% of U.S. Muslims — a larger percentage than in Pakistan — say that suicide bombing or other violence against civilians is at least sometimes justified to defend Islam. Perhaps most troubling, 21% of U.S. Muslims see a great deal or fair amount of support for extremism among their own.

*Underlining the significance of homegrown Islamism, more U.S.-born Muslims than immigrants hold radical views. Native-born African-American Muslims lead with way: 11% have a favorable opinion of al-Qaeda, 16% say that attacking civilians can be religiously justified at least sometimes, and 40% see support for extremism among U.S. Muslims; each value is double the one characterizing Muslim Americans as a whole.

What about Native-born African-American Muslims? Elven percent sympathize with Al Qeada while 16% agree with attacking infidels. This I did not know.

Wait till the benefits are gone. All hell would break loose. And politicians would likely be the first ones to...uh, take care of business with.

And God help hussein if by then he’s still in the country.

Sk your elected officials why they keep you in the dark. Because THEY have known for a long time now.

of course you know th benefits will never be “gone.”

We will simply print money to keep paying them even though they will be worth less. The fallinng value will produce dispair ammongst those the government has taught dependancy.

The revolution will proceed as planned.

If you have 100 moslems and just 2 of them want to kill you because they think you are an infidel that is a real problem. if they want to kill only leftwingtards that might be different but we don't know that.

An even more important statistic is the other 98 won't rat out the 2 who want to kill you.

But the “falling value” is the key. When the currency is worthless, I doubt people are just going to sit around and complain about it.

I hope to God some miracle occurs before then.

I always liked the subject or probability. But not in this case.
