THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME..
Sunday, June 8, 2008 at 12:45PM Keith Ellison is America's first ever Muslim congressman and his election was hailed by the MSM as a great step forward and a sign of our enlightened times. Quite
Care of Little Green Footballs, you can listen to Keith demonstrate how wise it it to elevate Muslims to such positions of influence.
At the far-left National Conference for Media Reform, Ellison talks about how Ronald Reagan made him sick — but not as sick as George W. Bush makes him. He calls America an “imperial power” and then suggests that the country should get rid of “hate radio” and Fox News. What a truly great role model Muslim politicians make. If this is how Keith feels now, wonder how he will feel should Obama win the White House? I'm afraid that Keith makes me sick.

" then suggests that the country should get rid of “hate radio” and Fox News. "
Nowhere does he suggest that.
LGF have really lost the plot.
Ellison called G W Bush the "CEO President" and he's correct. US corporations want cheap labour: Bush ensures that immigration laws and barriers are ignored and there are now over 11 million illegals swarming over the US cutting wages for the resident workforce (as Ellison stated but didn't link to immigrants) and committing crime. And the GOP then picks McCain as GWB's intended replacement - sick!
he's a democrat his feelings resonate from and are typical of his party more than his religion.
The Universal hate for Ronaldus Maximus and GW, and the desire to pass legislation called the "fairness doctrine" to shut down talk radio and fox can be heard in the offices of Harry Reid, Barabara Boxer, Nancy Pelousy and on and on from that side of the isle.
I also agree with Allan except the reason he didn't mention the ILLEGAL immigrants is the dems are even worse on that issue if mccain or obama wins there will be unconditional amnesty
Frank: No. LGF did not lose the plot.
He addresses "hate radio" - which is AM, not FM, and he addresses Murdoch and Fox. Go to around 11:36.
Try to actually listen, or read, the substance instead of scan for key words.
Ellison called G W Bush the "CEO President" and he's correct. US corporations want cheap labour:
they dont want, they need cheap labour. neo liberalist economics demands its, eventually.
the root cause of most of these issues, ie immigration etc can be found in the politically transcendant ideology of neo-liberalism.
Ellison - Marxist, racist, and a gifted orator and brilliant mind. Too bad he's using his gifts to destroy America.
And those in the audience? Journalists? Probably the most ill-informed citizens on the planet.
Ellison starts of by saying that he wants to "ground" his talk in some history. He then goes on to say that the Conservative Movement fell flat in 1964. This was the year the Johnson (D) was elected, victorious over the great Conservative, Goldwater (R). It was also one year after the assassination of Kennedy, and Johnson, Kennedy's VP, was the incumbent. Goldwater's defeat said more about a nation mourning the loss of a President who had been assassinated then it did about Conservativism.
Do facts ever matter to the far-left?
After 1964, came the election of Reagan as well as the 1984 retaking of both houses of the Congress by the Republicans, led by the Conservative movement with Newt Gingrich at the helm.
Ellison defines the philosophy of Conservatism as "rich people don't have enough and poor people have too much."
This is intellectually dishonest.
Conservatism resists the growth of government because of the proven ineffectiveness of government. Conservatism is for equal opportunity, but not for ensuring equality of income. That is Marxism.
Ellison is a Marxist. A gifted speaker without intellectual honesty -- and these people appear to be lapping it up.
Too bad he's using his gifts to destroy America.
patty, how exactly is he destroying america and the likes of the bush cronyists are not? its an amazing slieght of hand that has so many sheep pointing the blame for national woes in the completely wrong direction.
DT: "how exactly is he destroying america and the likes of the bush cronyists are not?"
As I have said many times, I am not defending Bush or his cronyism. The Bush "compassionate conservatism" is big government socialism -- not Conservative. at all. And Bush's inability to fire incompetent cronies is one of his greatest flaws.
Republican does not equal Conservative. The Republican Party is a political party. Conservatism is a philosophy.
Ellison, the far-left, and any who promote the notion of "income equality" and big government solutions to healthcare, retirement, child raising are promoting the growth of ineffective, inefficient and corrupt bureaucracies and the infantilization of the American citizen.
What gifts? I've heard more persuasive political jive by raving wino preachers on the sidewalks of New York.
I listend as closely as I could, but I don't think he argued for some particular Muslim form of government. Seems to me that his being Muslim is beside the point. Lord knows we have enough Christian fools in Congress. Its his message not his personal religious beliefs that are the issue.
Patty,
"He addresses "hate radio" - which is AM, not FM, and he addresses Murdoch and Fox. "
So did you.
Neither of you called for the country to get rid of them.
He's a great speaker. But the content? He suggested putting people who don't believe in government into government was like putting a vegetarian in charge of a butchers shop.
But it s those who "believe in government" who are far more likely to have vegetarians running butchers shops. They will be on the committees and they will regulate the thing into the ground.
The butcher, baker and candlestick maker should vote for people who understand that those three know how to run their own business and the government does not.
For example the EU won't let a butcher give you a bone for your dog anymore.
And they ban traditional mince in Scotland.
DT has no clue, Gee what a surprise....
Frank the fairness doctrine which Mr Ellison is a supporter of IS designed to get rid of talk radio and fox
Do people really think he is a great speaker? He pauses at a loss for names and words a couple times. I sat through that (15 minutes or so of my life I'll never get back) and wondered how he made it so far?
Mahons
Think about it this guy is from the same state and state party that just endorsed Al Franken....
Troll - funny and valid point. However, can't we just debunk this guy without resorting to his religion.
Do people find Al Franken funny? I mean a couple moments here and there, but he always struck as a bit much.
Franken and Ellison are both lousy, just like Minnesota - what a crap state.
if you read my comments I said from the git go these positions have nothing to do with his religion It's purely his political party's views
Too cold of a state for me Daph
Too many liberal blondes for me Troll!
I like my weather warm and my men with more pigment than an albino.
Anyone know why the tape is down?
