More tyranny by ObaMao's fascist left/liberal brownshirt subculture

USA – -(Ammoland.com)- Jason Riley has now joined the long and distinguished list of people invited — and then disinvited — to give a talk on a college campus, in this case Virginia Tech.Mr. Riley is a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, a columnist for the Wall Street Journal and, perhaps most relevantly, author of a very insightful book titled “Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed.”In short, Jason Riley’s views on race are different from the views that prevail on most college campuses. At one time, 50 years ago or earlier, exposing students to a different viewpoint was considered to be a valuable part of their education.But that was before academia — and the education system in general — became virtually a monopoly of the political left.Today one can literally go from kindergarten to becoming a graduate student seeking a Ph.D., without ever hearing a vision of the world that conflicts with the vision of the left.Conservative critics who object on grounds that the views of the left are wrong miss the point. Regardless of whose views become a monopoly, education suffers. John Stuart Mill understood this back in the middle of the 19th century.As a young Marxist in college during the 1950s heyday of the anti-Communist crusade led by Senator Joseph McCarthy, I had more freedom to express my views in class, without fear of retaliation, than conservative students have on many campuses today.After being invited by conservative students to give talks at various colleges, Jason Riley has then been surprised at how little those conservative students have said during the question and answer periods after these talks. But a Wellesley student explained: “You get to leave when you’re done. We have to live with these people until we graduate.”Even liberal professors can be adversely affected by the narrow groupthink that prevails. Without an opposition to keep them on their toes, they can develop sloppy habits of dismissing or even demonizing differing viewpoints, instead of practicing and teaching their students how to come to grips with opposing beliefs.A well-known Harvard professor, for example, recently referred to Justice Clarence Thomas by remarking: “He’ll say he pulled himself up by his own bootstraps. I say I was in the right place at the right time.”It so happens that I first met Clarence Thomas back in 1978, when he was a young lawyer in Missouri. In all these years, I have never heard him say anything even resembling what has been blithely attributed to him by this Harvard professor.On the contrary, Justice Thomas has attributed his good fortune to his grandfather who raised him, especially in his autobiography, “My Grandfather’s Son.”When he was sworn in as a Justice of the Supreme Court, he brought the nuns who had taught him in school, down in Georgia, to the ceremony in Washington, at his own expense, to let them know that what they had done for him was appreciated, and had not been in vain.There is no reason why our Harvard professor has to agree with Justice Thomas’ judicial philosophy or his social views. But, as the late Daniel Patrick Moynihan once put it: “You’re entitled to your own opinions, but you’re not entitled to your own facts.”It was much the same story when a faculty member at the University of California at Santa Barbara referred to economist Walter Williams as someone “committed to the welfare of the top few.”It so happens that I have known Walter Williams since 1969. In all those years, I have never once known him to express the slightest concern for the welfare of rich people. But what I have seen repeatedly has been his expressing his concern for people who are poor, both in words and in deeds.As an economist, Professor Williams knows that high tax rates on investors chase investments — and American jobs — overseas, where American working people cannot get those jobs. But, whether the academic in Santa Barbara agrees or disagrees with that analysis, it is no good for him, or for his students, to dismiss opposing views by misrepresenting them.These are just a few samples of the intellectual and moral dry rot on the many campuses across the country where the groupthink of the left substitutes for education.About Thomas SowellThomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, as well as a prolific author including Black Rednecks And White Liberals.

I don't deny that Hillary and Obama are fucked up, and that the left has always exploited minority voters by promising them stuff (Azealia Banks said it perfect, when someone asked her "What will Trump do for blacks?" and she responded "The question should be - what are we going to do for ourselves under Donald Trump?")
Not that the right is innocent either - they rape working class Americans in plenty of different ways like driving to bust unions and drive wages down, cut benefits for the corporate fat cats who offer employees health care - while simultaneously cutting the social programs that offer such services.
But my main point here is I think you should expand your horizons a bit - it seems like you only get your news from The Blaze and from Ammoland, I think you should broaden your perspective a bit.
-
ah. I've tried that - posted from many different sources, to no avail. It doesn't matter.
CNN won't post negative stuff when dems are in power, msnbc won't, facebook is censoring it,
I see what's going on. You want me to post from salon? MSNBC? I go where the news is actually
being posted on their sites.
Now, if I did start posting the same article from several sources, which I did a few times, the liberal bitchfest
will go on about how I posted the same article more than once.
It is what it is, Edw. I can get the same news from Drudge, the Blaze, Ammoland, NRA, all sorts of places.
My perspective is broad - I read from a lot of site - I read a LOT, online, as well as books. I'm just starting to
read Reagan's book...
The truth is, liberals need to "broaden their perspectives". They should start reading from more conservative
news sites and decide for themselves. But they don't. Liberals tend to emotionally rationalize with no legit
ability to back up what they...feel.

Virginia Tech YAF Speaks out on the Censorship of ...www.yaf.org/news/9396-2
Riley, a conservative, was disinvited after the finance department head Vijay Singal discovered his publication, ... At this time, Jason Riley is still uninvited.
now, here is a salon article about him.
Except it argues with Jason Riley's beliefs, from 2014.
that's the first two pages....
page 3 of the search on "Jason Riley uninvited".....
nothing on being uninvited. Nope.
There is this:
page 4... nope. No news articles again, on Jason Riley being UNINVITED....
page 5... nope. A good article about Jason Riley and Ferguson...
page 6....nope. No news at all about Jason Riley being uninvited.
page....wait. I think you get my point, eh?
-
so, "broaden perspective" based on what, exactly?
the refusal of liberal media to talk about news they don't like?
It's no wonder the news directly contradicts liberals sentiments.
They don't get the news, and they hate where the news is actually reported.

I am guessing there are either some very serious speech to text problems going on here or that English is not Howard's first language.

What howard link? Maybe I included a bad one and it's deleted, but I checked the links

I see, you ran to the mods. But if I posted a spam post, it was by accident.
not intentional.
-
It was a spam post... has been removed...
Was there an ad or a link?
Or just the unintelligible rambling?
I only read a few lines.

cal... please read carefully...
Unless you created an alt account under the name "HowardK" and made a few posts of the same stuff with some copy/paste rambling about the Ukraine with three links to chinese wives you have nothing to worry about...
Then again the posting style if not the content was similar to yours...
Was there an ad or a link?
Three, Steve... all embedded under some variation of "chinese wives" inserted in random spots of completely unrelated text.

I'll never know... went nowhere near the links.

ah. I thought it was in reference to my post, and maybe I pasted something bad into it.
"never mind"

you should try it. That mistake was real, not like the conjured up non-existent "offense" you conjured up.
