Thanksgiving Celebrates Our ´Original
Sin,´ ´Views Virtually Identical To
Nazis,´ Journalism Prof Preaches

Cybercast News Service, by Dan Gainor

Original Article

Posted By:Drive, 11/23/2012 9:45:23 AM

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.?

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.

You could hear the deep breath, the pause before a conversational plunge. On the phone were Monica Gabrielle and Kristen Breitweiser. Their husbands died at the World Trade Center in the Sept. 11 attack. This week, a new effort to find remains from the site uncovered 39 pieces of what appeared to be human bones. That was the yield from the first three days of work in a process that is expected to go on for at least two months.

Obama Budget to Include Cuts

WASHINGTON — President Obama next week will take the political risk of formally proposing cuts to Social Security and Medicare in his annual budget in an effort to demonstrate his willingness to compromise with Republicans and revive prospects for a long-term deficit-reduction deal, administration officials say. In a significant shift in fiscal strategy, Mr. Obama on Wednesday will send a budget plan to Capitol Hill that departs from the usual presidential wish list that Republicans typically declare dead on arrival.

Washington is edging closer to a budget deal, thanks to a gutsy change in strategy at the White House. Next week, President Obama will propose specific cuts to Social Security and Medicare in his annual budget, according to senior White House officials. That will put the onus on House Speaker John Boehner to show some leadership, too. He needs to push Republicans toward accepting tax increases beyond the $600 billion approved in December. It can be done. As I reported last month, Washington’s biggest myth is that a budget deal is out of reach

WASHINGTON — The North Korean army warned the United States on Wednesday it has been cleared to wage nuclear war using “smaller, lighter and diversified weapons.” In a speech earlier in the day, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel noted that North Korea has both the nuclear weapons and the delivery system “now.” It’s the latest round in an escalation of rhetoric and actions that began with a North Korean nuclear test in February. Still, military officials and experts don’t expect North Korea to launch an attack on the United States.

Two breaking news alerts came through the wire this afternoon: First, the AP sent word that Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has called North Korea´s latest rhetoric a real, clear danger and threat to the U.S. and its allies. Within minutes, CNBC announced that the Pentagon has sent a new missile defense to Guam. The reports that followed those alerts added some meat to the storty -- "Hagel´s comments come as tensions continue to rise between North and South Korea," etc. -- but they are notably lacking in context. How serious is the threat, really? Are the North and South on the verge of war, or is this yet another bluff?

In a bizarre new twist to the saga of Sen. Bob Menendez and his donor-friend Salomon Melgen, members of Melgen’s circle are now hurling accusations at FBI agents investigating the pair’s relationship. During an appearance on the weekly Dominican TV show La Respuesta last week, Melgen’s uncle Vincho Castillo accused the FBI of threatening and kidnapping two of Melgen’s maids. In addition to being the Dominican Republic’s top drug cop and founder of a far right-wing political party, Vincho Castillo is also the father of Vinicito Castillo, a lawyer who allegedly participated in sex parties organized by Melgen.

My nephew’s high school government class is studying propaganda, a word most students associated with Hitler, Goebbels, and the like. “I deal with propagandists every day,” I told the class in the Detroit area last week. “They work in the White House and in Congress--Republicans and Democrats alike.” The kids were a bit surprised. “Are you calling them Nazis?” one asked. Of course not, I replied, but politicians today are using new communications tools to spread their version of the truth, much of it misleading. A smart piece by Nancy Benac of the Associated Press describes how the Obama White House “image machine” works--“serving up a stream of words, images, and videos that invariably cast the president as commanding, compassionate, and on the ball.

Since November, the prospective death of the Republican coalition has hovered over American politics, and the autopsy has gained renewed attention in light of the debates over gay marriage and immigration, both of which split the GOP from rising chunks of the electorate. I’m an advocate of the theory, first put forward a decade ago by Ruy Teixeira and John Judis, that the electorate is forming a natural Democratic majority. The Republican Party appears to be caught in a double bind, in which the electorate is growingly progressively less white, and even younger white voters hold less conservative views than older ones. What’s more, evidence suggests that voters maintain the partisan allegiances they form at a young age. The picture looks grim for the GOP.

The sequester doesn’t appear to have hit the West Wing of the White House particularly hard. Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters — after more than a month of dodging questions on White House effects — that 480 employees of the White House Office of Management and Budget have received furlough notices. Even that tidbit is weeks old. After Congress let the March 1 deadline pass without replacing automatic across-the-board spending cuts, executive branch agencies have been scrambling to cut their budgets and furlough employees.

Betraying one of the
CIA’s ‘Band of Sisters’?
Washington Post, by Marc A. Thiessen    Original Article
Posted By: Drive- 4/1/2013 2:20:59 PM     Post Reply
Former CIA director Mike Hayden credits “an incredible band of sisters” for the success of the operation that found and brought down Osama bin Laden. Now one of those sisters has been appointed acting chief of the CIA’s National Clandestine service. It is a major milestone for women at the CIA, the first time in the agency’s history that a female officer has headed the clandestine service. But The Post reports that CIA Director John Brennan is “hesitating” at giving her the position on a permanent basis, because of her past association with the CIA’s rendition, detention and interrogation (RDI) program. This is an outrage. According to several former senior CIA officials I spoke with, the officer is highly respected and unquestionably qualified for this post.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Is going gluten-free
healthier for everybody?

The Week, by Staff    Original Article

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
