| Forget all that turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie, today should be a day of fasting and atonement for American “sin.” That’s according to Robert Jensen, a journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Jensen, known for his hard-left politics, also calls Thanksgiving a “white-supremacist holiday.” Jensen’s opinion piece “No Thanks for Thanksgiving,” appeared on the far-left, Soros-connected website Alternet on Thanksgiving eve. In it, he wrote how Native Americans suffered because of the “European invasion of the Americas.” He went on to compare the Founding Fathers to Nazi Germany.

This mindset is de rigueur for the guys and gals laboring diligently in the institution of higher learning at Moscow on the Pedernales! (pronounced: Perdnallus.)
We assume that all of Texas is conservative, but University of Texas is as liberal as any other school in the United States. We must keep the thinking of these people front and center lest we forget they exist and how they influence the minds of our young.

Like we´ve all said numerous times, extreme opinions are taught as gospel in J-School. There are no longer doubts regarding the leftist direction exhibited by our media representatives.
FTA: Jensen has a long career in both working journalism and academia, including work as a copy editor at The St. Paul Pioneer Press and the St. Petersburg Times, as well as “volunteer editing and writing for the Texas Triangle, Austin (weekly statewide lesbian/gay paper).”
This wasn’t the first time Jensen has bashed America. He does so on a regular basis. Other Alternet pieces include headlines like “The Painful Collapse of Empire: How the ‘American Dream’ and American Exceptionalism Wreck Havoc on the World” or “What White People Fear.”
AND, he´s a Soros pet.
Parents, if you´re financing your childrens´ higher education, carefully investigate both the school and the faculty. Unless you have no issues with paying for marxist indoctrination...

Just what can one say about such people? I suggest he sell everything he owns and give the money away. Denounce American and go live in a hut in Africa. He can then appear to be superior to the rest of us. ( As we all know those in Africa never had slaves or made war and killed each other? ) Yes, even native Americans had slaves and made war and killed each other. Every civilization has original sin.

This is the reductio ad absurdum of the Noble Savage myth. It is, like Leftism itself, based upon a profound misunderstanding of human beings and human history. That the New World was a terrestrial Garden of Eden populated by pacific aborigines whose peaceful ways and happy lives were despoiled by rapacious European predators is an ignorant Romantic fantasy, as anyone even slightly acuainted with the actual behavior of the indigenes knows perfectly well.
Like much if not most of Leftism, attitudes like those in this embarrassing article are the result of ignorance, sheer ignorance - combined of course with the usual malice and moral vanity.
It should give all Ameicans pause that people like this journalism professor are in positions of authority and that gullible students are routinely exposed to them and their pathological ideologies.

I took a course on the American Indian (yes, it was called that 25 years ago) and our instructor was an Osage Indian. One of the first things he told us to do was get rid of the idea of the Noble Savage. He said it was racist to believe that all American Indians were any different than the men who populsted Europe, Asia, Africa, etc. In other words, they could be as ruthless and blood-thirsty as the next man. I remember reading that there were small tribes of farmers that were completely obliterated by aggressie tribes who killed them/enslaved them and took their goods. Sound familiar Dr.?

This miscreant is channeling Ward Churchill with "shock-Doc history." What a buffoon. These morons are "kings" in their classrooms where they rule tyrannically over young mushrooms who dare not challenge his nibs for fear they´ll receive a bad grade.

The Karankawa Tribe which inhabited the Trinity River Valley in East Texas, were cannibals who stood over six feet tall as a result of their high protein diet of neighboring tribes and unlucky travelers. The early settlers called them ´Kronks. The neighbors called them bad news.

About this time yesterday, I was stuffing myself with all the usual Thanksgiving victuals. Now, 24 hours later, you can imagine conditions in my sub-duodenal digestive tract.
I would submit that Prof. Jensen´s entire outlook represents this same condition, 365.25 days a year.

As long as we allow the insane left to pit race against race, class against class, they will win. Do not feel guilty about something that YOU had nothing to do with!! I don`t! never did. Every race of people has suffered and been abused, at some time in History, those are just facts. The blacks are not special just because they are black and the Indians are not specials just because the were here when we come over to this...GODS land. I never think of Indians ( there are many in my family) at Thanksgiving, I think of God, family and country, I am sick of all the special races and special people just because they prefer perverted sex. God is no respecter of person, they will not get special treatment in heaven...Thank God.

There are no "Native Americans." It´s a myth. And we could add, a myth by a mile. Or thousands of them, more precisely.
No humans evolved anywhere in the Americas.
Everybody either migrated here or was born to those who had migrated here. The indigenous population encountered by Europeans was of Asian descent, from migrations thousands of years earlier.
The Asian descendants, called "Indians", were Stone Age pedestrians. They had no horses. Those were European imports. They had no alcohol ("firewater")... and no firearms. And no immunity to smallpox. Of course they were going to lose.
Many developments were sad or tragic... but the Indians here did not all get along so well to begin with. Some were very vicious and very hostile. Indians would torture other Indians... as well as kill them in battle.
And our wonderful wild animals in Africa and elsewhere all slaughter and eat each other. All of it... is what it is.

It´s always our fault. I have never seen a liberal that is willing to say anything good about the United States. We are always the bad guys. I think that Jensen should go and live in Europe or some other country that has a standard of living like the USA. When he gets there he should tell them how they are responsible for killing all of the native people that were there before them. I imagine that he will not fare so well if he does that in some place like Russia or China. What a putz.

Earlier this week, Roger L. Simon of Pajamas Media broke a story with shocking revelations, contending that slain U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens was in Benghazi on September 11 to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups that had been originally provided to them by the U.S. State Department. Simon cited two former U.S. diplomats: Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA.

New emails between Internal Revenue Service officials released Wednesday as part of congressional testimony give a better view of who knew of the screening of conservative tea party groups and the search terms being used, and when they knew it. The documents also show a bit of the process the IRS used in such situations, but do not answer the question at the heart of the controversy – who made the decision to search for such groups and why. The string of emails is from early June 2011, sparked by a request from Holly Paz,

WASHINGTON — As they watched President Obama lumber into controversy over mandating contraception coverage last winter, some White House staffers were banging their heads against the wall. The lawyers had done it again. Tensions between operatives and the lawyers hired to protect them from legal trouble are a constant in politics. But as President Obama’s beleaguered aides look for someone to blame in an escalating series of scandals, former political, communications, and policy officials complained to BuzzFeed that one culprit is a balance that has tilted too far toward the lawyer, allowing avoidable controversies to boil over.

With Anthony Weiner about to pop into the race for mayor, one of his Democratic rivals demanded yesterday that he pony up $350,000 for the cost of the election required to fill his hastily vacated congressional seat two years ago. Weiner resigned under pressure in June 2011 after it was disclosed he was tweeting lewd pictures of himself to women he’d met on the Internet. In the special election held that September to replace him, Republican Bob Turner pulled off a stunning upset victory over Democrat David Weprin. Taxpayers were stuck with the $350,000 election tab,

"With the decision to label a Fox News television reporter a possible ´co-conspirator´ in a criminal investigation of a news leak, the Obama administration has moved beyond protecting government secrets to threatening fundamental freedoms of the press to gather news," the board wrote in an editorial published on Wednesday.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Is the worm turning against Barack Obama? After four-plus years of being given the benefit of the doubt by the bulk of the US media, the President now suddenly feels more vulnerable. Today both the New York Times and the Washington Post have run prominent and angry editorials and columns slamming the administration for its attempt to criminalise a Fox News reporter James Rosen for working a State Department source to obtain a story. The "Rosen Affair"--as it is now known--is poisoning the well in Washington at an alarming rate for Mr Obama, with an indignant White House press corps
