Shaddup, Keithy.

Isn't that the usual diatribe of the former members of the weather underground? Imperialist America?

Thanks, Charles and Bill...

But! The title of that conference sounds so hopeful! ):

Oh, lookee. Three crescents and a star.

I do like that CC is provided.

Mr Ellison would certainly be more at home In the paradise called saudi arabia

He calls America an “imperial power.” Then he suggests that the country should get rid of “hate radio” and Fox News.

If America was an "imperial power" , it would never elect idiots like you. Why don't you go kiss your favorite meteorite?

The Left is like a bowl of granola.Full of nuts,fruits and flakes.

We're an imperial power how? If you draw an analogy to Rome, it doesn't hold up. If you draw an analogy to the 19th Century powers, it really doesn't hold up. If you refer back to the Persians, the Chinese, various Indian dynasties, it doesn't hold up.

But of course, you need at least to be conversant with the outlines of history to understand that.

And to note that an American politician is suggesting restricting speech is flat-out terrifying.

Ronald Reagan made him sick

I just learned another reason why I love Ronald Reagan

Hey Charles,

Can you post this: The Green Party Platform for 2008 calls Israel an Apartheid state and calls for a divestment campaign against the country.

...Plus Cynthia McKinney is winning their race for the presidential nomination.

Regards,
Leprechaun

He calls America an “imperial power.” Then he suggests that the country should get rid of “hate radio” and Fox News.

Just another example of anti-Americanism being represented in Congress.

I wonder if he spends any time thinking about his oath of office or trying to honor it?

sorry forgot the link. here it is : [Link: www.gp.org...]

Thank you Charles for reporting on who wants to change America all right--by taking away FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

he suggests that the country should get rid of “hate radio” and Fox News.

zen vee burn all zee books

Barack Hussein Obama is another Keith Ellison in waiting.

If America truly was an imperial power, he'd have been shot for saying this. What a frickin' moron.

So, if America is an imperial power, he, as a member of the government is an imperialist. Then why don't you quit Keef....

re: #16 alegrias

I meant to give you a plus. Sorry....

Yeah, Islamists want to take the freedoms away

Wish I could work up a good 'ol Rev Wright rant about this and GD him in a raving lunatic mode. Don't have the energy.

re: #15 nyc redneck

He's a congress-critter, so the voters can have at him and make him a one-term wonder.

Minnesotans voted for this idiot. Minnesotans are considering another idiot for senate.

Minnesotans, please support your pro-American Senator Norm Coleman, who debated pro-jihadist Hamas and Saddam Hussein supporter George Galloway on the UN Oil for Food scandal in which Galloway enriched himself.

re: #24 alegrias

it'll be a tragedy if that freaking moron al-Franken gets elected

re: #10 Dianna

We're an imperial power how?

I just got around to listening to Hugh Hewitt's Memorial Day broadcast where he had a 3 hour interview of Victor Davis Hanson and a discussion of military history. It's clear Ellison and his ilk have no clue.

To call the US an imperial power is particularly specious. Of all of the major and dominant military powers in the history of the world, the one that is the least imperialist and arrogant in the use of it's power is the US. We don't even ask for land from those who we sacrifice our treasure to free from tyranny to bury our dead anymore.

Believe me, this very site is on some George Soros list along with various ideas on how to silence it.

Viva La Resistance!

"Is Ellison feeling emboldened these days by the success of Barack Obama?"

For an American, yes. Foreigners like the newly-elected UN General Assembly President, Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann (who, you'll be happy to know, endorsed Barack Obama for president), have always felt more at home slamming Reagan/the US:

In a 2004 interview, D’Escoto called Ronald Reagan, who was US president in the 1980s, an “international outlaw” and “the butcher of my people.” “Because of Reagan and his spiritual heir George W. Bush, the world today is far less safe and secure than it has ever been,” he was quoted as saying.

That's 2004, not 1994 or 1984...

Dan rather is due to speak there soon. Imagine that Dan Rather speaking out about Press Freedoms heh

Thanks for that Charles

If I had a bus I'd throw him under it

re: #27 ScottG

Where's your sarc tag?!

(Joking)

Join the Umma, Vote Obama in 08!

You can be sure that Ellison will.

re: #27 ScottG

It's actually true. I remember a high ranking Mullah said the same thing on TV when I was back in Iran a few years ago. He said once the power is grabbed by Muslims, they won't quit it easily.

re: #23 Dianna

He's a congress-critter, so the voters can have at him and make him a one-term wonder.

That would be nice, but not gonna happen. His district in the Twin Cities is heavily Muslim. I am not sure, but I believe Somali.

re: #34 Dianna

Where's your sarc tag?!

(Joking)

I forgot it....but of course for them, they mean it!

this is the typical rev wright hate speech crowd. they are coming out in the open now.
that's fine. it will help to defeat the osamessiah. a few of these vocal haters is a minor annoyance. too many is a disease symptom. rot and putrefaction in our society.

re: #37 opnion

That would be nice, but not gonna happen. His district in the Twin Cities is heavily Muslim. I am not sure, but I believe Somali.

But can he get a cab ride?

Ellison is the *real* Obama. Next January 20th, it is now certain that one of these two men will be taking the oath of office as the 44th President of the United States: John McCain or Barack Obama. I urge anyone who has any doubts about McCain to consider what an unparalleled disaster an Obama presidency would be for our country. Even Carter's would pale in comparison, and believe me it's not because I have an ounce of regard for that creepy, nauseating antisemitic little prick.

BTW also listen and catch old keith's comment that the US Constitution gives the right to employment to only two jobs REPORTER and LAWYER.

re: #40 jcm

Not if he is carrying alcohol or is accompanied by a dog

re: #36 winston06

He said once the power is grabbed by Muslims, they won't quit it easily.

Episcopalians too. ;)

Yeah Imperialist power! Lets see Japan is a US state as is Germany right? So is Kuwait and We are starting settlements in Iraq; yeah we're growing by leaps and bounds. dumbass!

Obivously, what ever they are smoking is killing brain cells.

Dear Lizards,

Just as Rep. Ellison is a freak "representative" who won't protect, preserve or defend our great Constitution, rights, history as a beacon of freedom & liberty through out the world,

another Minnesotan hack politician, Rep. Amy Klobuchar (D) and Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold (D) want to have same day, instant voter registration on election day THIS YEAR.

Imagine how many anti-US "voters" can be brought ought of their lairs to vote.

Someone please fact check, but I read this yesterday somewhere and I have to go.

This guy is a ticking time bomb and a Trojan horse. He has yet to condemn in any meaningful way the international jihadist movement.

re: #51 Shug

In invasion of the body snatchers, at first the Pod people were silent.

The haters like Ellison and BHO are reaching critical mass

Lots of people are just dying to vote for Barack Hussein in order to break the color barrier.
No matter what comes out about the guy there is a mindset, "Hey how much harm can he do?"
Think Commander in Chief & Supreme Court for starters.

'Republican neglect, cuz they don't like government'

No. No we don't. With you in it, even moreso.

if the Catholic church isn't in total reform mode it should be and start doing some housecleaning. Didn't they make the congesspriest, Drinan, from Massachusetts quit? And the "priest" Pflegler, speaking at Trinity ( I know he's got a time out for now). I mean if you have a heirarchy and rules and regulations, use 'em. The liberation theologists/marxists had their day and nearly destroyed the church's witness in the world. The lesson should have been learned by now.

re: #55 winston06

How can they be stopped?

"we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender"

But hey- it's not like Minnesota is alone in this respect. Some states continue to elect drunks who drive their cars over bridges- leaving people inside. Some people elect other scumbags to office. Let's not continue to bash one state for one politician when the entire Congress is chock full of them, shall we?

Well, I think the only way to protect ourselves and win is to become more politically active. It's amazingly easy to join your party's county committee. I just walked in one night when they were meeting and found out there was no one in my precinct. I became a precinct captain by default.

One advantage of joining is learning more about the people in your area. It's good for advancing your own political agenda as well as other like minded people. Anyone who refuses to join the political sphere is already surrendering.

Orwell's 1984 is an instruction manual for these people. If you want an organization whose goal is to eliminate the free press be sure to call it: "Free Press"

re: #37 opnion

How many of them are citizens?

re: #63 paint-right

I mean if you have a heirarchy and rules and regulations, use 'em.

I think the problem with the Catholic Church, seen by Cardinal George's unbelievable lack of cojones in defrocking Pfleger, is that they are struggling for priests. I say this as a happy and enthusiastic Catholic, who however isn't blind about her co-religionists. Offal like Brockmann/Pfleger has no place in our church.

I will say this. I think Ellison is a far better public speaker than the Obamassiah.
Much more relaxed, less self-conscious. Better voice.

How many have been completed. Communism never lost, it just came in the other door.

963 Communist Goals
The following was entered into the Congressional record by Albert Herlong, Jr. (a Floridian who served in Congress from 1949-69) in 1963.

1) US acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war
2) US willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war
3) Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the US would be a demonstration of "moral strength"
4) Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5) Extension of long term loans to Russia and Soviet Satellites
6) Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination
7) Grant recognition of Red China, and admission of Red China to the UN.
8) Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under supervision of the UN
9) Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the US has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress
10) Allow all Soviet Satellites individual representation in the UN
11) Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the UN as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo)
12) Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party
13) Do away with loyalty oaths
14) Continue giving Russia access to the US Patent Office
15) Capture one or both of the political parties in the US
16) Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17) Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism, and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in text books.
18) Gain control of all student newspapers
19) Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20) Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21) Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.
22) Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings", substitute shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms.
23) Control art critics and directors of art museums. " Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art".
24) Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25) Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
26) Present Homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy".
27) Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch"
28) Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state"
29) Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30) Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man".
31) Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture:" Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32) Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture - - education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33) Eliminate all laws or procedures, which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34) Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35) Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI
36) Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37) Infiltrate and gain control of big business
38) Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.
39) Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40) Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41) Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42) Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special interest groups should rise up and make a "united force" to solve economic, political, or social problems.
43) Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44) Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45) Repeal the Connally Reservation so the US can not prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.

Yea, I bet he had all kinds of Islamic 'media reform' in mind. And the stupid far-left would go right along and call the death of free speech and press 'being tolerant'.

re: #107 Dianna

probably a very few of them

This speech is incredibly over the top. Is Ellison feeling emboldened these days by the success of Barack Obama?

No. He's emboldened by the fact that he's preaching to the choir. Views tend to get more extreme and less polarized when you're in a room full of people that agree with you. I'm not sure Barack Obama would have anything to do with it anyways. It would be a mistake for Obama to align himself with another anti-American after the last fiasco at the church. He'd only have to throw him under the bus, and I don't think either Ellison or Obama wants that.

That should be "1963 Communist Goals"

Sad, but true.

No- it's not true and it's not the sad part. But what IS sad and true is the sever lack of knowledge about islam and what keith ellison prays to every day. I would place a large amount of money betting on the vast majority of his voters having NO idea about islam whatsoever.

So to say his views mirror the views of the people of Minneapolis is just grossly offensive.
