NY Post: 6 Million Crimes Averted

New York Daily News, May 8, 2008

Civil liberties activists are troubled that the NYPD stops half a million people a year to ask their business and, when necessary, frisk for weapons. The activists have sued in the hope of proving cops are trampling constitutional rights across the five boroughs.

Liberal Fascism: The Silencing Of ‘War Criminal’ Condi Rice By Larry Elder

April 13, 2014 Afghanistan , Articles by Larry Elder 0 Comments

By Larry Elder, Apr. 13, 2014

Rutgers University invited Condi Rice, the former Secretary of State, to deliver the commencement speech and receive an honorary degree.  But faculty on the New Brunswick and Newark campuses demanded that Rutgers rescind Rice’s invitation.



If the school abruptly disinvited a liberal black speaker, her defenders would shout “Racism!” quicker than you could say voter ID.  Rice critics also want a web cloud company called Dropbox to rescind its invitation to have Rice join its board.  They claim that Rice, whom her critics call a serial violator of the Fourth Amendment, is a bad choice to sit on the board of a company that believes in protecting the privacy rights of its customers. Fox News reports,  “Internet activists are calling for the boycott of popular cloud storage service Dropbox after it named former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to its board of directors earlier this week.”


So using the following headline, we posted this story: Dropbox Pressed To Ditch Condoleezza Rice Board Appointment --More liberal fascism -- Condi being Mozilla-ed!!

Condi critic Peter responded to me:  she's a hawk like the rest of the Bush admin.

Elder: So “hawks" shouldn't sit on boards? Was she a "hawk" for supporting the now unpopular Afghan War, too? Or does did she earn the label when she supported the now unpopular Iraq War? Were 72% of Americans "hawks" when that percentage supported the Iraq War?

Now here's where you say, "Bush lied us into the war by faking the case for WMD, thus duping the American public, the sons and daughters of whom Bush wished to send to war on a false pretext." Why would he do such a thing? Well, GWB is, of course, evil. And Cheney, more evil.

How quickly we forget that the decision to invade Iraq was a direct result of 9/11,  after which 90 percent of Americans expected another major attack within 6 months to a year. How many in the Clinton administration assumed that Saddam possessed WMD? Practically everybody: Who Thought Iraq Had WMD? Most Everybody

Brian, another Condi critic, wrote: How is it fascism to say I don't support torture wars for oil?

Elder: What about allowing someone with a different pov -- at one time supported by 72% (Iraq war)--to have an chance to share it?

Brian: What does she need to share? Majority of Americans in the past have had all sorts of misguided and ugly viewpoints. Iraq, too.

Elder: Thanks for deciding what "need[s] to [be] share[d]" You've shown exactly what's meant by "liberal fascism." You decide, we abide.
