The Five Pillars
GlennFrancoSimmons
by GlennFrancoSimmons  1-29-2009    18
 I have a soft spot in my heart for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, a religion whose members are often murdered in some countries. Their mosque in London is a beautiful testament to their beliefs. On this clip, it talks about Islam's Five Pillars and obedience to God. I, as a Westerner, have much to learn from the Ahmaidis, especially those whom I know and respect, the most devout being Professor Abdul Aziz in California.

Chilling Report Documents Antisemitism

 Humanity has not graduated to greater maturity when antisemitism exists. In fact, it seems as if the threat of such hate is more pronounced now than it has been since World War II.

New York Post's Vile Cartoon Only Serves To Reinforce Our Racist Legacy Of Stereotypes
GlennFrancoSimmons
by GlennFrancoSimmons  2-24-2009    1
 It's fine to have a cartoon that illustrates this bill's financial quackery, but to equate its author -- or the person responsible for it (i.e. the president) to a chimp that became wild and threatened the public's safety and had to be shot and killed is a direct insult to our biracial president in view of our nation's embarrassing history of racist stereotypes. Many racists have equated blacks with chimps, apes, etc., with the implication that they are "stupid." The cartoonist and New York Post should not have published the cartoon because of the horrific American racist legacy, often supported by academia and politicians, that African-Americans are stupid. Yet that is not the worst part of the cartoon. The fact that the chimp, symbolic for the president, was shot and killed is outrageous.

 This is written by a non-Republican who lost money thanks to that guy who said Wall Street can regulate itself. However, the Imperial Romans ruling Washington now are as bad or worse. Our secretary of state simultaneously insulted The Russian Federation while humiliating her own country with a kindergarten gadget that was ridiculous. Read this post and laugh, unless you are one of those liberal or progressive types who live to hate others. Oh, what about tolerance, peace and love, flower power? Whatever happened to freedom of speech?

Mr. President: Please Get Your Facts Correct About Automobile Inventor, Communism
GlennFrancoSimmons
by GlennFrancoSimmons  2-26-2009   
 However admirable is his pledge to help a moribund auto industry suffering near fatal and mostly self-inflicted wounds, the president is simply incorrect. This lack of historical knowledge highlights incompetence, especially when the White House has at its fingertips the same access I have from the Library of Congress. The first patent for an automobile was issued by Germany, providing Benz "Patent DRP No. 37435." In his inauguration speech, President Obama implied that communism had been defeated. The largest communist country in the world happens to be the world's most-populous country: China. Although it has undergone some free-market reforms, China remains an oppressive, murderous tyranny. In fact, Mr. President, Chinese media censored your inaugural address when you mentioned that certain word, uh, err, communism.

Roya Hakakian Prescient When She Wrote 'Then They Came for the Bahai' In Iran
GlennFrancoSimmons
by GlennFrancoSimmons  2-14-2009   
 Roya Hakakian said, "The current Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has taken a page from Khomeini’s book. He rails against Israel. He denies the Holocaust. Through these means he focuses all attention on Jews, and while the world remains perfectly oblivious his men assault the Bahá'ís. "Since Ahmadinejad’s election to presidency, there has been a sharp rise in anti-Bahá'í literature in government-sponsored journals, which has, in turn, led to a rise in gang attacks against the community. "That the Bahá'ís shy away, per religious mandate, from advocacy on their own behalf surrounds their predicament with even greater silence. "But for those in the West — especially for Jews, who know the lessons of World War II — the plight of the Iranian Bahá'ís is most urgent: It is an act of destruction, not simply promised, but already under way."

 If you think only wackos like me believe Margaret Sanger was a racist eugenicist, then why does a major African-American, pro-choice feminist, say the same thing about Sanger, even though she and I disagree about abortion? Because she is honest and has called out Planned Parenthood on its lies, despite raising funds for Planned Parenthood. If you are a Kool-aid drinker, keep believing PP's lies, but read this post to hear from a pro-choice African-American who says PP is lying when it says she was not a racist eugenicist.

 These two clips are for the ignoramuses who commented on my previous clips, probably without reading the entire column. Sadly, if you oppose communism and terrorism, even if you acknowledge the evils of colonialism, and our own country's evil deeds, critics still attempt to debase you by insults rather than arguments that disprove your theses. Prove to me that communism isn't genocidal. Prove to me that terrorism is not genocidal. After all, colonialism was genocidal. They all spring from the same spot: hardened hearts.

 This is another Hilarious Hillary moment, my friends, and, no, I'm not a Republican. I'm against America being embarrassed yet again on the world stage. I can understand the inability to pronounce names correctly, except for Benito. Also, although Greek Democracy was much different than ours, and although there were variations on Greek Democracy, not all Greek states were democratic. Yet, how could Clinton get it so wrong and say we are the world's oldest democracy? And then Retuters, which should not put bias or opinion into articles, basically said her gaffes were due to a lack of sleep. While she may be lacking sleep, she might want to consider the fact that although our Washington reps are mostly from two political parties, America does have multiple political parties, although our system is structured much differently. I suggest Hillary get some sleep and consult with Britannica Online to gain a proper perspective of Greece, Greek democracies, as well as our own

 Are you really telling me that the bombastic Huff and Puff has become so pitifully weak-kneed that it is trying to deflect blame for its own immoral, unethical and untruthful behavior on TVnewser? So what do the Pulitzer Prize-winning hacks at TVNewser have to say? Well, they pass the buck just like Huff and Puff. Has anyone at the Huffington Post and TVNewser ever looked at the Society of Professional Journalists' Code of Ethics? SPJ's code is the most-widely accepted journalistic ethical code in the United States. Perhaps the biased zealots at Huff and Puff and TVAbuser should take note of these direct citations from SPJ's Code of Ethics An ethical news organization would fire at least the editor in charge for this gross negligence of duty that could have easily been verified to have been a fraud. Because these two "news" organizations did not perform as journalists should, they unleashed a frenzied replication of a lie that was intended to slime Gibson's reputatio

Dogma-Driven Duplicity Leads Present-Day 'Journalism' To Its Deceptive Depths

 I've had the refreshing opportunity to work with reporters who have admitted their biases, yet risen above their own opinions to write thorough and fair stories in which their personal biases could not be detected. Journalism will survive its present-day descent into its deceptively biased and dogmatically dominated depths and one day honor what the Founding Fathers memorialized in the Bill of Rights; however, when that day will occur is the question.

How Can Americans Tolerate Death Factories And Now Allow Infanticide?
GlennFrancoSimmons
by GlennFrancoSimmons  2-7-2009   
 If you accept that life is sacred and begins at conception, then you cannot morally justify abortion as a form of birth control. Despite the rare but understandable medical necessity of an abortion, the overwhelming number of abortions result from "unwanted" pregnancies. Such defenseless creations should be protected by the strictest human-rights protections, yet to humanity's consummate shame, the barbarity and unjustifiably of abortion -- as a form of birth control -- has become an unprecedented homicidal campaign responsible for exterminating approximately 50 million human beings in America alone since 1973. Globally, the number of abortions is mind-numbing; in fact, the number of those killed by abortion worldwide in the past century dwarf the combined deaths that resulted from communism, fascism and Nazism (national socialism). Now Americans find themselves confronting infanticide, according to an article published by Catholic Online. It is profound arrogance that a

Hughley's Bigotry, Prejudice Dumped By CNN, Which Puts Spin On Cancelation

 D.L. Hughley is a bigot, a prejudiced man ignorant not only of history but of contemporary affairs. By calling Republicans Nazis, he insulted Republicans who happen to be Jews. Can you imagine being a Jewish Republican and then be called a Nazi? How repugnant. Before you hate bloggers blast me, read the entire post. Plus, I'm not a Republican, so spare me your political libel, OK? Since I don't have TV, I can't turn the channel, and now, even if I had TV, I wouldn't have to worry about seeing Hughley the bigot -- which is equivalent to racist -- on CNN. Today, at least one mainstream media talking head got it right, as reported by Newsbusters: In the midst of a segment on Rush Limbaugh on Sunday morning's Reliable Sources portion of CNN's State of the Union, host Howard Kurtz scolded his journalistic colleagues for a remark which “totally got missed by the media,” how CNN host D.L.

 The new mantra of America's elite is that terrorism is as much a "bogeyman" as communism. I suppose this unenlightened UCSB student typifies most of society today, which does not understand dialectical materialism and the fact that it led to a materialist philosophy that promulgates the myth that everything can be explained by matter alone. That's why we get such myth-creators as Charles Darwin and his half-cousin Francis Galton. It was Galton who coined the term eugenics and helped unleash an era in which his theory of "breeding" "better" and "fitter" humans was transformed into Nazism and utilized by every single communist government. In fact, Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger was an avid supporter of eugenics. Of course, historical revisionists dispute Sanger's complicity in eugenics, but they are lying. Just ask Blackgenocide.org. Here are some topics to discover for this embarrassingly uneducated UCSB student: materialism, dialectical materialism, eugenics,

 Before the reactionaries scoff, read the article. A pro-choice, self-described liberal, who happens to be African-American, says Margaret Sanger was a racist eugenicist. So why does Planned Parenthood defame pro-lifers who say the same thing? Why does it not remove the propaganda from its Web site and be honest about Sanger and move on with its evil mission? Only in Nazi Germany was such propaganda perfected and a hit machine used to quell dissent, to coerce people to not speak out.
