Trump / FBI / Russians

My 2 cents.
Awesome. Western civilization whether you like it or not was founded on Judeo Christian values.
There has been a demonization of Christians going on for some decades now, and according to the UN Christians are now the most persecuted religious group.
What do we have now. No more prayers in public schools but courses on Islam. Special rights for Islam. Laws against criticizing Islam.
But spitting all over Christian and Jews is not only acceptable. It's encouraged.

 

Archy brings forth valid, totally valid, points that are our 'new reality' thanks to the fascist left & Obama. Although nothing new, Obama made it politically fashionably acceptable & 'morally correct' to welcome the ideology of hate into America, protect it with laws & desecrate Christians & Jews & Sikhs & all of the other non-Muslim pagan unbelieving infidels.

 

It's a clear cut case of protectionism.
Everything the opposition has accused Trump of they are guilty of by ten fold.
From the time he announced his running to the present day they are only bring to light their own wrong doing.

Yale dean keeps job after superficial apology for online disparagement of ‘white trash’
By Thomas Lifson

Is there any racial group other than Caucasians that could be openly disparaged by an Ivy League dean without being fired? An astonishing drama is playing out at Yale University, where a diversicrat dean, June Chu, PhD, caused an uproar when students noticed and saved screen shots of her Yelp reviews that revealed a deep need to disparage lower class whites in particular because their tastes are not as sophisticated as hers. Samantha Schmidt of the Washington Post summarizes the kerfuffle:

The posts…referred to customers as “white trash” and “low class folks” and to some employees as “barely educated morons.”

“If you are white trash, this is the perfect night out for you!” Chu wrote in a review about a Japanese restaurant, which she said lacked authenticity but was perfect for “those low class folks who believe this is a real night out.”

“Side note: employees are Chinese, not Japanese,” added Chu, who identifies in one review as Chinese American. In another restaurant review she said, “I guess if you were a white person who has no clue what mochi is, this would be fine for you.”

In a 2015 review, she called a movie cinema’s employees “barely educated morons trying to manage snack orders for the obese and also try to add $7 plus $7.”

The reviews drew a backlash from Yale students and alumni, who called the posts demeaning and offensive and elitist.

Chu reveals that disdain for certain kinds of people animates her conscious life. To feel that disparagement of others is a normal way to review a restaurant or other business, one must feel that such disdain itself is not only normal, but both desirable and important. So much so that there is no reason to apply the standards of exquisite sympathy for the sensitivities of other demographic groups. In fact, this disdain for principally the white working class is a badge of honor.

Chu was so proud of her Yelp writing that when Yelp gave her Yelp Elite status, she broadcast the good news via email blasts. That was her fatal hubris, for it was her own publicity efforts that brought her incriminating reviews to the notice of people who do not share her boigotry.

There are few positions more fully invested in the formation and perpetuation of the ruling class than that of residential college dean at Yale. Make no mistake, this is not the same as a dean of a faculty. There is a lot of counseling and guidance, and even residence hall supervision.

The position of a dean in one of Yale’s residential colleges is described by Yale this way.

Residential College Deans provide academic and personal counseling to undergraduates; administer and participate in residential college functions, including housing and extracurricular activities; serve on Yale College committees; and teach one or two courses per year. The Dean resides in an apartment within the college, has an office in the college and receives a meal plan in the college dining hall. Living quarters will be suitable for families, if applicable. The dean must have an advanced degree and be qualified to teach courses in Yale College.

Chu’s own background reveals a lot of emphasis on diversity and sensitivity. In announcing her appointment as Pierson College Dean a year ago, Yale described her qualifications:

Prior to coming to Yale, Chu was the director of the Pan Asian American Community House at the University of Pennsylvania for seven years and most recently served as assistant dean of undergraduate students at Dartmouth College.

 

“In these various teaching and administrative roles she has sought to help students not only succeed academically but to expand their understanding of themselves within and beyond their campus environment,” said Holloway. “She is eager to combine her enthusiasm for academic administration and her love of teaching in the role of residential college dean.”

 

Chu has published articles and presented papers on a range of topics, from the advising of first-year college students to family, cultural, and psychological dimensions of the experiences of Asian American and Asian adolescents. Her extensive research background has involved work with ethnic families, autistic youth, and best practices in higher education advising. The University of Pennsylvania honored her with a Distinguished Service Award. At Dartmouth College she turned her talents to a wide array of liaison work with other college constituencies, including the First Year College Writing Program, the Office of Visa and Immigration Services, the athletics program, the crisis management team, and the Title IX Coordinator.

The apology she issued via email to students was bizarrely generic and impersonal

“I have learned a lot this semester about the power of words and about the accountability that we owe one another,” Chu wrote. “My remarks were wrong. There are no two ways about it. Not only were they insensitive in matters related to class and race; they demean the values to which I hold myself and which I offer as a member of this community.”

So, her big problem – the one she puts upfront -- was that she didn’t understand the power of words! Who knew that words could be “insensitive in matters related to class and race”? Surely a scholar attuned to the psychology of youths understands the wounding power of words.

No, the problem is much different. So far, I see no sign that Dean Chu has admitted to herself that she is a bigot. Nobody else at Yale wants to admit that they are bigots, either, so there would not exactly be a lot of support for deep introspection. In fact, even before all of Chu’s disparaging reviews were made public, her boss announced that her job was safe, despite having disparaged a swath of the students she is supposed to counsel. The Yale Daily News reported:

According to [Yale College Dean Jonathan] Holloway, Chu, Davis and other administrators together decided that Chu should email Pierson students about the incident on Saturday after “wrestling with how to do the right thing.” Holloway praised Chu’s email for being “very honest” and said he hopes students will be able to recognize that people make mistakes and can learn from them.

“I’ve not asked for her resignation, and neither has Head Davis,” Holloway said. “She’s terribly sorry, and I think she’s doing exactly the right thing by saying ‘I’ve learned from this, I want to stand by all of you and I hope that you’ll stand by me as well.’”

Face it: the ruling class hates us. Their self-worth depends on being better than us.

 

Bill and Newt balanced the budget..Plus Bill lied under oath and violated the law. Newt overreached on impeachment and should have just done censure. That is exactly why there was no impeachment of Obama. The GOP benefited from letting his crimes go and energize the public than create a public spectacle where he could play the victim.

 

What are you referring to as awesome? Are you surprised that they (christians) are persecuted, considering their "missionary" mentality for the last 2000 years? Further, a course on islam is different than mandating that all the children need to get on their knees for allah (equivalent to christian prayer). Not "spitting" on anyone here, just don't see how in 2017, that religiosity has a role in policy making.

 

Racists gonna race

 

I agree with this.

But in all fairness, one or more religions should not be raised above another. Equality is equal across the board, without one religion being "more equal" than others.

One of the main tenets this country was founded on was freedom of religion. I believe that a diversity of religions make us a stronger country...But only if every religion is treated *equally*. Same goes for ethnicity/race...even more so possibly.

I don't fear Islam and Muslims. I fear their extremist wing. It is well known that this faction wishes to destroy us.

It is also a fact that many refugees have very little to zero documentation of their births, or anything else for that matter.

How does a country realistically go about attempting to "vet", or even allow, people who cannot be investigated at the most basic levels?

To me, and others who possess experience and critical thinking skills, this dilemma clearly doesn't fall under the false guise of religious persecution...or, as some radical reactionaries would have you believe, "racism".

 

I said Judeo Christian VALUES. Not the actions of an organization like the Catholic Church, Westboro Baptists, etc, or the dogmas associated with.
So yeah dude AWSOME.
Go back and re-read my post.
Whether you like it or not Western civilization was founded on these values.
Go move to a civilization founded on Muslim values and tell me they enjoy the same freedoms as the West.
FFS

 

23 hours and still waiting.

 

Hypocrite. Making young children take a course on Islam but being taught that Christians are bad because of the Crusades isn't religiosity playing a role in policy making?
Also Muslims granted special rights isn't?
How bout laws on hate speech where one can be punished for criticizing Islam but not Christians or Jews?
Really dude?
FFS

 

Say that with conviction to the Christians living in the Middle East who are being beheaded and having their young children raped and sold into sex slavery because they believe in Jesus Christ.
FFS

 

You don't think kids are learning about 9/11, al qaeda and now isis in school?

I'm not asking in a condescending way, I really don't know... But I would assume they are

 

Can't believe I got sucked into this window licking contest. I'm not going to respond to each individual post... FFS

How about the muslims who were raped and beheaded when the christian missionaries rolled in? I didn't realize you had such a strong christian faith. It actually of makes sense considering that you believe the most foil-hat-esque conspiracy theroies, why not blend some fairy tales about walking on water and coming back from the dead too?

 

And headhigh if you knew a little about the Crusades it was the churches response to the Mislims barbarias invasion and persecution of Christians in the Middle Ages.

 

Btw I'm not Christian. I've only stated facts and documented history.

 

How bout the Muslims doing the same when they invaded Christain occupied lands?
How bout the soldiers from all countries involved in war?
