Gen. William Boykin can espouse his racist rants elsewhere but not here representing America's finest.







U.S. News - 'Extremist' speaker withdraws from West Point event after protests

West Point issued a brief statement late Monday saying that retired Lt. Gen. William Boykin has decided to withdraw from speaking at the Feb. 8 prayer breakfast and another speaker would be lined up in his place.

The Army is drawing protests from veterans’ and Islamic groups for inviting a retired general who many have called anti-Muslim to speak at a West Point prayer breakfast.

Lt. Gen William G. Boykin has been criticized for speeches at evangelical Christian churches in which he made disparaging remarks about Islam. Boykin has said that Muslims are trying to implement Shariah Law in the United States and that Islam is the greatest threat America faces...

It appears anyone who opposes progressivism is a "racist."

Progressives are the real hatemongers - they're the LEAST TOLERANT of anyone.

Progressivism is a cult...........

Progressives are nothing more than collectivists who demand everyone conform and think the same, act the same, do the same.

Then they call guys like me zombies???

Progressives are nothing more than trained dogs...

Progressivism is a reform impulse with liberals, conservatives, and centrists participating.

Both of you are right wing progressive statists.

Sorry, Steph and Nick, you are what you are.

okey dokey Jakey

Do you believe in big government enforcing pro-life positions: that's rw progressivism.

Do you believe in big government enforcing state-sponsored prayer in public schools: that's rw progressivism.

May as well label me an authoritarian for shoving freedom up your communist collectivist ass...

May as well imply you have the RIGHT to be a zombie...

Truth is you have the right to be a zombie, you don't have the right to make ME be a zombie.

It just so happens we have a Bill of Rights and if you don't agree with civil liberties then you can go move to North Korea where conformity is mandatory and where everyone is in consensus.

You can go eat some grass like a ******* sheep and be treated like a farm animal.

I believe murder is wrong, I believe depriving individuals of life and liberty is wrong.

Murdering an individual of any size or shape is depriving that individual of liberty.

Abortion is not only morally wrong (to me) it's unconstitutional to boot...

Abortion is an oxymoron...

And don't forget its NOT the womans body - the little baby is its own being - the baby is an individual - the baby is NOT a body part.

If people want to go mutilate their own bodies then sobeit - men and woman - however a baby is NOT a body part and should not be treated or referred to as such.

 

[bripat9643]

The kind that knows you can't yell "fire" in a theater.

You don't invite someone to speak before our nation's military that uses hate speech against a segment of that military. We do have Muslims serving.

His 1st amendment rights were not violated.

If Klansmen were serving in the military, would that mean we shouldn't allow anyone who opposes racism to speak at West Point?

Known klansmen aren't allowed in the military. Fail.

Says who? Who said they have to be "known?"

Membership in the KKK is prohibited by military personnel.

How can you even think that speaking against racism is anywhere akin to speaking against a religion in front of followers of that religion? That's ludicrous.

I am not telling you not to believe that. I am telling correctly that you wish to correct through right wing statist progressivism. Simply accept that you are a progressive.

geeeze..which Jake do we have today?

 

[JakeStarkey]

What we have, Steph, is using terms correctly, something both the far right (you guys are all nazis) and the far right (the left is all socialists and marxists) have real problems doing. Hmmm?

How the **** am I a progressive???



You have zero evidence to support your assertion.

What ideas do I believe that could be construed as "progressive?"

Geez...

I've been called a lot of things in my life but a "progressive" is certainly not one of them....

I'm a classical liberal that is for sure but not a progressive..

 

[whitehall]

Alinsky rules for radicals #13...Pick your target, freeze it and polarize it and then move in for the attack.

Yet you labeled me as a progressive.

I know what progressive, conservative, liberal, Marxism, socialism and communism mean.

I also know how to apply the words...

They're words that have specific meanings..

I will say communism and socialism are oxymoronic...

I would love to know why anarchists and communists form an alliance?

Oh yeah because they both don't understand their philosophy but have something in common - they hate capitalism.

You would think theoretically capitalism would be a trait of anarchists anyways..... NOPE.

I live in a world full of idiots...

That sounds like a violation of the First Amendment, which guarantees your freedom of association.

Islam is a racist religion. It's no better than the KKK.

You are a rw progressive statist. That's not a bad thing, it simply is what it is.
