Liberal academic cowards can't take the heat for their ideas

I find it odd that left wing academics would complain about too much exposure for their ideas. It seems they only want to expose those American hating ideas to captive young impressionable minds who cannot protest without fears of retaliation.

Last spring, a Yale professor, anthropologist David Graeber, was notified that his contract would not be renewed. He claimed it was because he was a publicly visible anarchist. A Columbia University assistant professor of anthropology, Nicholas De Genova, who remarked in a "teach-in" that he wished the Iraq war would involve "a million Mogadishus," in reference to the 1993 conflict in Somalia in which 18 U.S. soldiers were killed, was publicly chastised by the university president and provost.

These "academics" seem to think there should be no criticism or consequences to their mad ranting as they try to indoctrinate our children with their bile.

Yahoo's war on free speech

The growing trend of internet censorship and outright participation in free speech suppression is getting scary. Yahoo once again is accused of participating in the arrest of a Chinese dissident.

U.S. Internet companies faced fresh bipartisan criticism in the Congress on Thursday following renewed controversy over Yahoo Inc.'s alleged role in the Chinese government's eight-year prison sentence against a second dissident.

"I don't like any American company ratting out a citizen for speaking out against their government," Rep. Tim Ryan, an Ohio Democrat and member of the House Human Rights Subcommittee, told Reuters on Thursday.

How long before Yahoo gets someone executed and how will they explain themselves.

"The choice in China and other countries is not whether to comply with local laws. The choice is whether to remain in the country or not," Osaka said. "We have a philosophy of engagement. We believe the Internet is a positive force."

The internet is a positive force but I am not sure Yahoo is.
