1834 murdered in Obama's organized communities

...what a beautiful phrase!

And, while it is entertaining to watch the raging impotence of the
sniveling dregs of union thuggery that brought it all crashing down on
themselves in the first place, it would be well to remember the levels
of violence these goons have shown themselves willing to sink to in
the past, and prepare oneself accordingly.

If they want to follow through on the "bloodshed and civil war" they
are openly threatening, let them be mowed down as they crawl from
their trenches.

America ~will~ be free, no matter the will, wishes, and ways of the
fascist left.

I hope so. Unfortunately the fascist left has control of much of the
news media and education system and is working hard to turn the
citizens into sheep-like creatures who do no critical thinking.

Why? Do you think everything that happens is caused by conspiracy?
It has been shown multiple times that the MSM is leftist dominated and
that especially most universities are likewise. Whether that was
because of a concerted effort to put leftists in those positions or
just that leftists found those positions attractive is of lesser
importance than the fact that it happened.

The OP must think that not reporting -- intentionally concealing -- the
the assault, battery and other violence in East Lansing isn't a
conspiracy. It's de rigueur. After all, there's no news or other
interest in sucker punching news correspondents and toppling tents with
women and the elderly inside. Keep moving on, folks.

Bill did not say that. In fact he says the opposite. It is the
opposite political persuasion (wing nut) that sees conspiracy in
anything they oppose.

And the majority opinion by the under thirty group supporting gay

You post a whine about some crazy leftist conspiracy - and then complain
that other people are posting about conspiracies.

Where do you get that? I never suggested any conspiracy, it was Bill
that brought that up.

Seems like a typical leftist trick, you cannot dispute the facts so
you accuse your opponent of something he did not say. Usually it is
racism but in this case it is believing in a conspiracy.

No, Hal. you suggested conspiracy thinking. You did not have to use
the word.

Hal, you have resorted to obfuscation too many times. You defined the
action and it it is conspiratorial. Intelligent people can infer from

To be a leftist, you have to be a very good liar and a very good schemer. Of course the good and effective leftists are intelligent, they couldn't survive otherwise. Of course they are highly skilled at wordplay, evasion, slippery methods to get out of logical traps.

A good leftist can keep an honest man running in circles until they give up from sheer frustration or anger or a combination of both , the objective is not truth, or logic, or anything useful to society, the objective is to win. Logic, truth, morality, consistency of core beliefs, all totally malleable in pursuit of the objective, victory.

That's why unintelligent and provably and cinfessed failed folks like S Kaufmann will snip your point, or micharacterize your argument, or even slander, he has to win, not demonstrate integrity or good faith of argument.

The man at his age is so deep in the hole of dismal failure, anyone who encounters him knows he comes from a position of resigned desperation. The person most aware of his lot in life is him.

If he truly believes he has any positive virtue in his persona here, he's not stupid, he's crazy.

He's at the point in life that he's basically given up, and the most he can hope to accomplish is to successfully waste someone's time. if he lands a sucker, he's had a most excellent day.

What a life, eh? Would YOU want be Sanders Kaufman? The sad thing is , he'll still be the Dull Boy in ten years, in twenty years. He will one day die a waste, and no-one will miss him.

Sad to watch maybe, if anyone actually cared. How are your tires these days, fast-food giant?

The more relevant question would be why do you think that way?

"Fascist left". "control of the media and education". "working hard".
"sheep-like creatures".

That sounds a lot like conspiracy theory la-la land to me.

Perhaps - but only a conspiracy nut would content that there is some
ulterior plan to create "sheep-like creatures."

And in my experience, most universities -promote- critical thinking, not
the reverse. There are exceptions of course. Liberty University and Oral
Roberts spring to mind - as well as a couple others.

Maybe BYU is a part of the "fascist left"?

BYU is a private LDS institution. They get to make the rules on their

As long as BYU recruits non-LDS athletes to play on their sports teams,
they have an obligation to act like a real University.

Found a lot of it, and some profs who lacked it. The ratio was
probably better than at most universities since a lot of BYU profs
come from rural backgrounds where they are not protected from the
realities of life.

Because study after study has shown that college profs and media
people tend to be far more to the left than the average citizen.

> "Fascist left".

Yup. Read for example Goldberg's book, _Liberal Fascism_. And note
that fascism is not just Nazism,

"The economic system inaugurated by the Fascist regime of Benito
Mussolini in Italy. It was adapted in modified form under other
European dictatorships, among them Adolf Hitler's National Socialist
regime in Germany and the Spanish regime of Francisco Franco. Although
the Italian system was based upon unlimited government control of
economic life, it still preserved the framework of capitalism.
Legislation of 1926 and later years set up guilds, or associations, of
employees and employers to administer various sectors of the national
economy. These were represented in the national council of
corporations. The corporations were generally weighted by the state in
favor of the wealthy classes, and they served to combat socialism and
syndicalism by absorbing the trade union movement. The Italian
corporative state aimed in general at reduced consumption in the
interest of militarization."
http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Fascism/Fascism_def_char_hx.html

Today's "liberals" are not in favor of the military but do want more
government control of our lives and to mix government with industry.

> "control of the media and education".

Yup. See above. They hold the positions of power in most universities
and the MSM so they can control those institutions.

> "working hard". "sheep-like creatures".

Try opposing political correctness on an average college campus and
see what happens. They want sheeple who will accept their ideas
without question.

> That sounds a lot like conspiracy theory la-la land to me.

Try thinking a bit more broadly. There is more than one explanation
for that type of thinking. Personally I think the major explanation
is groupthink. That type of sheep-like behavior is all around us,
from following fashion to political correctness etc. I think the MSM
and most university people are engaging in groupthink.

> > It has been shown multiple times that the MSM is leftist dominated and

>

In the real sense of fascism, lock-step ideas, big government etc.
Remember that fascism was kind of the in thing before Hitler gave it a
bad name. As Goldberg documents, Wilson wanted it for the US.

Who said there was a plan? Groupthink seldom involves planning to
force people into that mold.

> And in my experience, most universities -promote- critical thinking, not
> the reverse.

Try telling that to Lawrence Summers who was forced out at Harvard for
having the temerity to suggest that they look at science to see if
women really are identical to men except for plumbing.

Actually most universities will accept and even maybe encourage
critical thinking as long as it does not infringe on their politically
correct sacred cows. Propose a way of testing a theory in chemistry
or physics and that is just fine. However don't you dare propose a
critical examination of affirmative action or the idea that women have
the same interests as men.

And Harvard.

Opposing homosexual marriage is leftist? If you work for a private
institution don't be surprised if they get unhappy if you oppose
something important to the sponsor.

However BYU was quite accepting of the alternate graduation speaker
some students got when they did not want to hear Dick Cheney. How
many schools like Oregon, Oregon State, Harvard etc. would have
allowed Cheney to speak at all, or not drowned him out had he tried to
speak?

The fact is that they do act like a real university, just see US News
& World Report's annual issue any year when they rate universities.
BYU consistently rates rather high.

And why would admitting non-LDS students, athletes or not, obligate
them to act in any way differently than without such students? Those
students are told clearly what the requirements are and agree to live
according to the rules.

So? The issue is whether this sort of thing encourages critical thinking
or whether BYU is part of the vast "fascist left" educational system
seeking to turn out "sheep-like creatures" who do no such thinking.

Of course they do. But the issue not whether the rules are "right" or
"wrong" but whether or not BYU's "rules" promote or hinder "critical
thinking."

You might wish to review what happens to apostate Mormon students at BYU.

I don't know where that falls on the left/right political spectrum but
it's at least quasi fascist and hardly calculated to encourage "critical
thinking" or non-sheep tendancies, at least on those issues deemed
crucial to the Mormon Church.

Which is hardly the point. Critical thinking on certain points deemed
important to the Church is not only discouraged but outright prohibited
on pain of dismissal.

Heh! As I recall the incident, students opposed to Cheney had to take
their "alternate commensement" off campus to a commencement speech and
ceremony they organized themselves. I don't recall any "accepting" by
BYU. Certainly no BYU support or encouragement.

Who knows. Still commencement speeches tend to be rather bland, one-shot
affairs not renowned for encouraging critical thinking. Cheney's
certainly was and didn't.

Firing a professor who dared to question the pronouncements of the
Mormon Church has a pretty chilling effect on anyone who might be
inclined to question Church doctrine or display non-ovine proclivities
in that regard.

??? Come on Bill, you have to have followed the news and know that
the left is much more likely to support homosexual marriage and the
right more likely to oppose it.

Lots of LDS hace supported homosexual marriage with no consequences.
However if you are in the pay of an organization it is normal to not
work contrary to that organization.

I am not aware of anyone who faced church discipline for disagreement
with the church unless they actively worked against the church. Why
would you want to belong to a church if you disagree that much with
it? After all, churches are organizations of *believers*. If you do
not believe that is your right but don't expect to have the same
standing as do believers. Would you expect, for example, to remain a
member in good standing of the NAACP while preaching white supremacy?

Nor any adverse consequences.

Get real Bill, you must have read about at least many of the cases in
which a conservative speaker was shouted down or not allowed to speak
on or near campus.

When I was there I saw plenty of disagreement among professors and
students. As long as they didn't actively work against the church
there were no consequences. In fact I argued with my frosh religion
teacher about evolution. He was a strong believer in the young earth
theory and opponent of evolution. Still got an A in the class.

Out of how many universities in the country? Yes, it is rather high.
They are even higher in the most cost effective list.

Or even a few of the major ones. BYU is pretty good at encouraging
their athletes to study, I remember the wrestling coach calling us in
and reviewing how the teams for the different sports did
academically. I know that when I was there any football player in
academic trouble got a bit of help - a special study hall at 6am.

Paterno had a terrible end but at Penn State he was famous for pushing
his players to do well in school.

And I'm not sure about now but when Eddie Robinson was at Grambling he
also pushed his players to do well in school.

I'm sure there are others. Unfortunately the other types get most of
the news.

That would be bad, but there's nothing "leftist" about that.
Leftism is something else entirely.
Your response however, is very typical.. of someone with a paranoid
delusion.

Maybe, to a liberal elitist, 68th among accredited schools is no big deal.
But the evangelical community can't afford to be so snobby.
Hell, most of their schools can't even get accredited.

That's how child predators in the Evangelical community (like Paterno and
Sandusky) operate.
They call it "grooming" and it's why they get away with it for so many, many
decades.

What evangelicals need to come to understand is that Paterno's sins were in
how he LIVED his life, not the random way that life ended.

It is hilarious when our liar in chief ignores the studies that have
