Ahmgonnaignoreyouandobfuscate Gives Sermon, and Whines

Sooo... no signs in in the building.

Did he see any of the ones outside?

Ahmadangerousfanatic was allowed a forum that no-one in America would be allowed to have in his country, and most of the Middle East, and he will use what he said, and clips of audience applause in reaction to some of it, to his propaganda advantage.

That is a given.

Yes, there is Academic Freedom, and the 1st Amendment, in America, 2 benefits of an open society he, and others in the Middle East, do not allow their own people, but his is not about those rights being extended to him.

It is the judgement of the University in givng him a forum that legitimzes him in the eyes of far too many in the world.

But it is done, and the question now is... what does the West do next about him, about the terror threat worldwide, and letting the world know the dangers, and will Columbia now allow groups like The Minutemen, to speak, uninterrupted, and protected, in the future?

I do believe that this Forum served a useful purpose, in the end, by allowing more people than usual to hear Ahmgonnaspeakeatcolumbia express himself, and see how he ignores serious debate, and discussion.

Just imagine how his being denied to speak would have been spun around the world, by enemies of Democracy, and Freedom.

Bolinger's opening remarks to the audience, and especially to the Iranian Leader, were strong, and appropriate.

Then Ahmgonnapreachlectureandwhine, approached the podium...

Ahmgonnaspeakeatcolumbia Set to Rant where Americans Can't

The ROTC is not welcome.

The Minutemen are not welcome.

The most dangerous world leader on the planet is welcomed with open arms, and the University that invites him, says it would have invited Ol' Adolf, too, in 1939.

Stop the ACLU has the Video.

I didn't know that This University actual DID invite Hitler!  In 1933!! ( A Tip of the Hat to Little Green Footballs! )

3 things about the above Ambassadorial Visit deserve our attention today:

Ambassador Luther’s speech focused on what he characterized as Hitler’s peaceful intentions.

Students who criticized the Luther invitation were derided as “ill-mannered children” by the director of Columbia’s Institute of Arts and Sciences.

Columbia also insisted on maintaining friendly relations with Nazi-controlled German universities.

Absolutely disgraceful.

The speech is only minutes away, and I will be watching.

Stop the ACLU is tracking the Blogosphere reaction.

Ahmadangerousfanatic to be Escorted to Ground Zero?

Tell me it ain't so!!

If the man who is the most dangerous leader in the Middle East right now, and who wants to get his hands on a Nuke, and use it, who believes in the supremacy of Islam, and wants us all to convert to it, is allowed anywhere near the site it would be a disgrace, and a shameful smack in the face of our brave troops.

If he is allowed to speak does anyone doubt that he will say something just as incendiary as the last time he was at the UN?

In a move that has stunned New York, the Bloomberg administration is in discussions to escort the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to ground zero during his visit to New York next week, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said today.

The Iranian mission to the U.N. made the request to the New York City Police Department and the Secret Service, who will jointly oversee security during the president’s two-day visit. Mr. Ahmadinejad is scheduled to arrive September 24 to speak to the U.N. General Assembly as the Security Council decides whether to increase sanctions against Iran for its uranium enrichment program.

Mr. Kelly said the NYPD and Secret Service were in discussions with the Iranian mission about the logistics for the possible visit, and whether it will take place at all. He said Mr. Ahmadinejad would not be allowed to descend into the pit for safety reasons related to ongoing construction there.

The full piece in the NY Sun.

PHONE 311 (or 212-NEW-YORK outside NYC)

Give the Mayor, What for!, politely of course, hee, hee. ;-D

WRITE TO BUSH: SAY NO TO PANDERING TO DICTATORS

A tip of the hat to Stop the ACLU! ;-D

Educators afraid to Allow American Patriotism on Campus

This is outrageous!

On the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, students at one high school were not allowed to wear clothes with an American Flag.

Under a new school rule, students at Hobbton High School are not allowed to wear items with flags, from any country, including the United States.

The new rule stems from a controversy over students wearing shirts bearing flags of other countries.

I see no problem with Any Flag on Campus, as much as I'd like to ban non-democratic, and terrorist supporting ones.

It's a matter of Free Speech.

However, if only one is to be allowed, then that one should be the glorious Red, White, and Blue.

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should it be banned.

That's a no brainer!

This is AMERICA, after all, and patriotism, and love of country, are 2 of the most important things our country needs its future grown-ups to to feel, about the land they live in.

Any Public School Official too cowardly, and PC, to allow Old Glory to wave proudly on campus, should be re-evaluated for the job they hold.

A Tip of the Hat to Stop the ACLU, which has its own thoughts, and a round up of opinions from others.

Want to POLITELY, let  the school know what you think of this idiocy?

The telephone number for Hobbton High School in Sampson County, North Carolina is 910-594-0242 ( A Tip of the Hat to Mackers World! ).

Fred Thompson Announces, Other Candidates Joke to Mask Fear

If you missed The Announcement by Fred Thompson, Stop the ACLU has the video, and Ian Schwartz has videos of the Jay Leno appearance.

Wow!

Are we looking at the next Prez?

It is far too soon to say, but I liked what I saw, and heard, on these videos more than I’ve liked anything the Republicans in the race already have said for months, and definitely more than anything any of the Dems running have said.

The Republicans, with their jokes about Fred, tonite, did themselves no favor, by taking the bait, and trying make like amature nite at the Comedy Club.

Yes, I found the jokes funny, but at the same time I just shook my head at how childish, and imature, they all seemed.

What are they afraid of?

Many people underestimated Ronald Reagan, remember?

Now here comes another Hollywood Republican, Elder Politician, and could it be there will be a repeat?

Stay tuned….

Then, again, what do I know? ;-D
