I recently watched this show about the media bias during campaign leading up to the 2008 election.
The video suggests that there was not only bias, but deliberate cover-ups and the omitting of major news events, while at the same time fabricating and constructing false statements simply to sway public opinion and distribute wrong information.
Very interesting stuff. I remember most of this happening.
Let me know… do you think this video is accurate? Why or why not?
Youcef Nadarkhani - Held in prison by Muslims on religous grounds.
This is an example of why allowing a parallel governmental structure, like Islam, to practice openly in the U.S. is a dangerous idea.
Apparently now Youcef’s attorney has been arrested and sentenced for trying to represent a non-muslim client.
Youcef’s attorney now says…
“I have been convicted of acting against the national security, spreading propaganda against the regime and keeping banned books at home“ Dadkhah told the Guardian from Tehran. (Source: Katherine Weber )
If we think freedom of speech is suppressed now, just wait until Islam gains a substantial foothold here. Or worse, becomes the new U.S. constitution. Talk to almost anyone in Europe to understand how inviting Islam changes the political climate and causes a myriad of social, economic, and public safety problems.
Consider this. Youcef would be dead right now, at the hands of his Islamic government, if it weren’t for the press and prayers he has received here in the states.
Yousef’s attorney getting arrested is now yet another vivid warning to all U.S. citizens who blindly think Islam is a relatively benign “religion of peace” like Christianity or Judaism. Actually, not just a violent religion, it is an aggressive governmental structure that is not at all compatible with the laws and lifestyle we have in the U.S.
Answer 1: Actually, we can. He’s a low-life, intellectually dishonest, hypocrite.
Answer 2: We can’t because unfortunately he’s part of a growing strata of our society who are becoming highly aggressive, highly violent, and believe they can force their morality (or lack of) on other people (in this case children).
Watch this video. (but not with children in the room)
Dan Savage beats up high schoolers
So what is going on here? Why would this man come out so strong on this issue choosing a audience of impressionable teens? My primary answer is “ratings”. Nobody cares if he says this stuff in front of adults. They wouldn’t give him the time of day, or call him on his errors. But get a captive audience of children, then tape yourself intentionally beating them up verbally… now that will get you the front page. I believe that’s why he did this. No question.
But, to get back to the original question, let’s take the first answer first. “Actually we can [ignore him], He’s a low-life, intellectually dishonest, hypocrite.”
This is so very true. His ‘biblical arguments’ in the video above are obvious proof text segments from the Bible that don’t even make sense out of context. Read correctly, they simply don’t apply to anyone for various reasons. Christians aren’t ignoring them, they simply no longer apply. Any intelligent adult can refute his claims with one brain tied behind their back. So, he either knows his error very well, and therefore is being extremely intellectually dishonest (lying), or he really and truly doesn’t know what he’s talking about at all and therefore shouldn’t be setting himself up as an authority on the subject. Personally, I believe the first case. But either way, he shouldn’t be allowed to be around children.
In short, I think that Dan Savage actually knows his actions are very dishonest and was using this as an intimidation tactic to gain a national press presence. Therefore, his arguments, and his career for that matter, should and will be discredited and disregarded by any and all truly intellectual free thinkers.
Okay, on to the second answer: “We can’t [ignore him] because unfortunately he’s part of a growing strata of our society who are becoming highly aggressive, highly violent, and believe they can force their lack of morality on other people (in this case children).”
Well, time for the bad news. As far as I can see, this type of thing is only going to get worse. As society continues to cave to the bullying pressure of the violent segment of the homosexual movement, it will continue to get stronger.
I will reiterate what many have said before me… These people fain ‘tolerance’, but themselves are some of the most intolerant people on the planet. They cry foul and demand legislation when someone looks at them sideways, but then openly assault defenseless unsuspecting children for their political gain. It’s just hypocritical.
Don’t worry about him though. Dan will fare very well from this, be confident of that. He’s likely already receiving many checks in the mail from this media frenzy. And I don’t think this is the last time we’ll hear from Dan. I’m sure he has many more stunts like this up his sleeve.
