Lawrence, (not the tripe <BR/>produced by Lowell Thomas, or<BR/>the myth produced by the movie<BR/>that uses his name.) His official<BR/>biography - written by his brother -<BR/>is a good historical tome that<BR/>helps us to understand the elements<BR/>that are now working against us in<BR/>the guise of al Qaeda - the Wahhabi/Salafi <BR/>connection with Pakistan, the <BR/>Taliban and Islamic fundamentalist <BR/>schools all over the world.<BR/><BR/>You might also research Saddam's<BR/>support of the Palestinian suicide<BR/>bombers - paying money to families<BR/>of those who performed such acts<BR/>against the people of Israel.<BR/>(There is an example of linkage.)<BR/>You also had a man who sent missiles<BR/>into Israel, developed WMDs,<BR/>had (until Israel destroyed it)<BR/>an active nuclear facility...<BR/>History indeed. We should learn<BR/>from it, and more than it's <BR/>rhetorical importance as applied<BR/>to present concerns. <BR/><BR/>Just FYI: The Wahhabis were <BR/>present in Lawrence's day; <BR/>he thought they were virulent<BR/>pustules.<BR/><BR/>So please don't lecture me on <BR/>history, missy, nor about logic.<BR/>You might begin to edit your <BR/>posts so that they are coherent -<BR/>(as this last one is that you <BR/>wrote) - and not muddled with <BR/>incomprehensible mush.machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248016116043347912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-53380289711464072672007-07-01T05:29:00.000-04:002007-07-01T05:29:00.000-04:00Mac,A few simple points here --Your first Point: T...Mac,<BR/><BR/>A few simple points here --<BR/><BR/>Your first Point: <BR/><BR/>This is not about Iraq.<BR/>Perhaps you are new to the post,<BR/>but Bill Anderson is a Libertarian,<BR/>KC is an "old-fashioned" liberal,<BR/>and many others are conservatives.<BR/><BR/>My point:<BR/><BR/>Iraq is the latest widescale American example where similar tactics (intimidation, name calling, etc) to the Duke 88 were used. Believe it or not, many different people were against the Iraq war, such as including Ron Paul, Lew Rockwell, Brent Skowcroft, Pat Buchanan, Lou Dobbs -- all of whom are very different than the gang of 88.<BR/><BR/>I am sophisticated to understand that there are those who I may revile (like Stalin) might share a common goal with me (the defeat of Hitler).<BR/><BR/>So, I don't understand your point of bringing up the alleged ideologies of other parties.<BR/><BR/>Your next point:<BR/><BR/>You want to make this a screed<BR/>about Iraq?<BR/><BR/>What does that have to do with<BR/>Nifong? Nifong's enablers/collaborators/<BR/>co-conspirators are likely all <BR/>against the war in Iraq.<BR/>So are you. Goody, goody.<BR/><BR/>My point:<BR/><BR/>You obviously have not paid very much attention to the tactics that mirror the tactics used by the gang of 88 and Nifong that were being used by the people who were pushing the Iraq war (ignore the facts, attack those who question (as racists, or unamerican), frighten people from speaking up (grade retaliation, having your spouse outted).<BR/><BR/>So, where will you be the next time it happens?<BR/><BR/>Your last point:<BR/><BR/>So-bloody-what?<BR/><BR/>This is a case about an injustice<BR/>visited upon a group of young men. <BR/><BR/>My point:<BR/><BR/>This case is also not directly about Stalin or Marx, but they are relevant to the debate as is Iraq. Failing to understand historical connections invariably leads to more injustice.<BR/><BR/>15 years ago, the right seriously promised to try to do something about the more radical elements in higher education. On that level, they failed -- the Duke example demonstrates that (by no means am I stating that no small victory occurred).<BR/><BR/>The Republicans controlled all three branches of government for most of a 6 year time frame -- and really nothing was advanced in this area.<BR/><BR/>My last point:<BR/><BR/>History matters. It matters in the context of understanding the bigotry behind anti-white attitudes by professors (who are white or not). That is, since there never was a "white" conspiracy, and many groups of Europeans historically were victimized just like blacks and American Indians were here -- it is ridiculous to today "blame" those people for sins of people who may sort of resemble them (as they are not even directly related to them).<BR/><BR/>Politics also matters. Politics gets things done. It get funding dropped, people prosecuted, even people hired/fired.<BR/><BR/>You might be advised to read a logic treatise or two (I probably own about 6 or 7) all authors have different view points, but all use analagous examples to try to raise the point about a argument/idea/movement that was advanced via techniques not attempting to use any fact development or logic.<BR/><BR/>The Iraq points are timely. For other reasons, discussing Marx also makes sense (and I have posts that discuss Communists that you have chosen not to take issue with).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-10275532422277199092007-06-30T23:39:00.000-04:002007-06-30T23:39:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-64915885596923091282007-06-30T22:26:00.000-04:002007-06-30T22:26:00.000-04:00To: Gak, 5:20I believe that Bob Steel (Chairman of...To: Gak, 5:20<BR/><BR/>I believe that Bob Steel (Chairman of the Board) is the puppetmaster here, he hired Brodhead to begin with.

When education is not about learning but of indoctrination, you end up with where Duke is today.<BR/><BR/>"Much campus censorship rests on philosophical underpinnings that go back to social theorist Herbert Marcuse, a hero to sixties radicals. Marcuse argued that traditional tolerance is repressive—it wards off reform by making the status quo . . . well, tolerable. Marcuse favored intolerance of established and conservative views, with tolerance offered only to the opinions of the oppressed, radicals, subversives, and other outsiders. Indoctrination of students and “deeply pervasive” censorship of others would be necessary, starting on the campuses and fanning out from there."<BR/><BR/><BR/>In this article "Free Inquiry?
