White House Censorship... Now??

So. At a time when censorship is contested in our colleges and universities. At a time not so long after Charlie Hebdo. At a time when CAIR would rather call our cartoons disrespectful than denounce murder. We get this.

I'm so upset I can't even imagine what I want to say.

    I can't believe what is happening, freedom of speech one of the most basic human rights stifled
    By the president who was sworn in to uphold the constitution. I would say he is an anti-constitutional terrorist. He should be impeached.

      He should have been impeached years ago. Republicans lack the courage -- and many of them like and accept the power even if they don't always agree with the details.

      Technically, this is a minor detail concerning translation of a foreign speaker, yet it is inexcusable and jumps out at us because of what we know it represents.

    We have allowed an anti American Muslim sympathizing left wing progressive occupy the White House for what will soon be 8 years. His hatred for everything the country has stood for in the past is obvious to everyone not willing to fall all over themselves for political correctness or political power. So...what's the big surprise? The only answer to that is I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner.

      There are many of us who have not "allowed" this despicable talking head to be the leader of what was once the free world. I am mortified and disgusted that the pathetic republicans, for whatever reasons, have done nothing to reverse the decline of our country. We are simply outnumbered by the simpletons who live for the moment and don't want to think about tomorrow while being intimidated by the pc police, the media and the garbage on the tv. It's pathetic to watch the slow-motion train wreck that is our "leadership".

        "Slow motion train wreck."
        Great description indeed. In the past, I would wonder how advanced cultures such as Germany and Japan could allow themselves to fall into such anti-life philosophy. But now that I've experienced it with what I thought to be the most culturally advanced, freest nation ever, I can see that no place is immune to the creeping greed and those who will cater to it in order to glean power.

    We're in the last year of BHO's presidency- the most dangerous year. His decisions and actions will be more desperate, reckless and careless for what is best for America. Knowing what we know of this administration, there isn't a person who believes it was a "technical error".

    This man will do anything not to upset the Saudis
    Is he really taking Iran, Yemen, Saudi Arabia off the list of sponsored "terrorist" actions?
    This guy bowed to the Saudi King for God sake. "Allah" being the "god".
    How arrogant and self righteous. Is this how he "earns" his Nobel Peace Prize?

    I have long suspected that Obama's sympathies lie with the Muslims. Not so much Muslims per se (though I strongly suspect as much) as Muslims as representative of "everybody but Americans and Westerners." Dinesh D'Souza has explained, more eloquently than can I, the source of Obama's rage against America and Americans.

    In fact, I believe I said, in other threads, that in 2008 my fellow citizens elected Mr. Thompson of AS.

      The ideology of Obama makes him much worse than a mere thug like Mr. Thompson.

        Yes, I can see why. Now that kind of Mr. Thompson would have been a worthy adversary. One key criticism of AS is that John Galt had no worthy adversaries, as Howard Roark had.

          His most worthy adversaries in the plot were Dagny and Rearden. The adversaries on the other side had all force.

            I think I know what you're getting at. You asked who the adversaries of Mr. Thompson were. And I agree: the real hearoes of AS were Dagny and Hank. (The Triumvirs of Atlantis were an entirely different kind of "good guys." I call them anti-villains, men who, in the service of just causes, have their minds made up by the time you meet them and will stop only if someone kills them. (Conventional literary villains serve evil causes--hence the name villain, which means literally a low-life.)

            But I asked whether Mr. Thompson was a worthy adversary for Dagny, Hank--or John, Francisco or Ragnar. I don't think so. He was pathetic. They all were pathetic--all the looters. The only villain who came close to being a really challenging adversary was Floyd Ferris.
