Liberal Intolerance #77: University administrator suspended over anti-gay column
The president of Toledo University, Dr. Lloyd Jacobs, has decided that the university is no place to have your own opinion. He has suspended Crystal Dixon, associate vice president of human resources, because she wrote a column in the Toledo Free Press arguing that it was wrong for the gay community to compare themselves to Black Americans as “civil rights victims.” She writes:
She touches on the difference in economic status:
But what might have injured the sensitive Dr. Lloyd Jacobs and his fellow censors was Ms. Dixon’s final reason:
I’ll not argue the well worn outrage of our institutions of higher learning mocking the principle of free thought, or whether her right to speak her mind is circumscribed as an employee of Dr. Lloyd Jacobs. More infuriating is the way the gay community has dressed itself in the bloody garb of a suffering people to pass itself off as an aggrieved minority that can not be questioned in its quest for “civil rights.” The historical injustices of gay Americans pale in comparison to the lynchings, racist laws and inescapable widespread discrimination endured by black Americans, and one wonders if by pairing themselves with blacks they actually diminish the history of deep suffering from slavery onwards. Somehow hearing a transvestite say to the African-American community that “I’m just like you” seems so insultory that it diminishes everyone involved.
University president Dr. Jacobs insists he needs to have “Safe Places” all over his campus to protect Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning [LGBATQ] individuals, ostensibly protecting them from the roving throngs of haters who have eyes for the LGBATQ guys - that says enough about UT. But to argue that these people have any less rights than I do as a heterosexual male is absurd. I can’t marry a man, neither can any gay man. I am not forced to marry, but if I do, marriage is reserved for men and women. The law is the same for everyone. Some people think that our standards for marriage ought to be low enough that even brothers and sisters can marry, assuming that love be the only prerequisite - and argue ironically that the institution of marriage is so disrespected these days that we ought to dilute it to save it. That makes about as much sense as dressing up as Martin Luther King at a gay rally.
Yemeni Journalist Puts His Life On The Line For Freedom
Our friend Vicki over at NotReadyForMyBurqua has alerted us to a story that isn’t getting enough publicity. Abdulkarim al-Khaiwani is a journalist who is being tried and possibly executed for daring to part from the government line - he has insulted his president and “demoralized” the military by writing an article. If someone can “demoralize” the Yemeni military with an article, then I suggest that we send a couple Marines with a typewriter over to Yemen and pry it from the dark ages. This is a great example of the conundrum of freedom - we claim to be offering such a thing to countries in the Middle East, but Allah only knows what freedom means to people who stone adulterers, hang gays and whip men who don’t have beards. It’s a Pandora’s box I’d rather not open.
There is a letter to sign exhorting the Yemeni government not to execute or imprison for life the journalist - of course we want all of our readers to sign it. If you want to know why Abdulkarim al-Khaiwani would put himself in danger, he explains in a letter to a friend:
Say a prayer for Abdulkarim. Sign the petition at Vicki’s blog. Then guard the freedoms other’s are dying for.
Liberal Intolerance #76: Desecrating Pro Life Memorials At The University Of Wisconsin-Stevens Point
A student by the name of Roderick King ganged up with a few of his liberal brownshirts on the Wisconsin campus and went ballistic destroying a dedication to the unborn. He’s outraged that a Pro-Life group on campus had the audacity to practice their free speech rights. Life Site News has the details…
This is very similar to another incident that we reported on a couple of years ago at the University of Northern Kentucky, the difference being that that act of vandalism was conducted by a professor who went nuts. It’s just another example that the idea of diversity on the Left does not exist if you dare oppose their anointed vision… Free speech is nothing more than an empty platitude!
Here’s the video of this nutball losing his mind over these crosses…
WHAT A DISGRACE!
Political Vindication Radio; Bruce Walker Interview Tonight At 6pm PST
It’s time to exercise those brain cells! Tonight we’re interviewing Bruce Walker from the American Thinker in the second hour. He’s written some thought provoking columns that make for interesting conversation - he explains the leftist decline in Europe, argues why the Republican party is the real home of black Americans, and ponders the misnomer of Conservatism. It will be an hour that will make you smarter than all your friends!
In the first hour we’re roasting PETA for dinner. This cabal of kooks wrote in a press release yesterday that “Attending the Derby is as despicable as attending a dogfight.” I bet if Michael Vick had another chance he would have spent his money at Hollywood Park! Does anyone take this organization seriously anymore? We take it serious enough to spend 30 minutes marinating these polyester clowns in libtard sauce! Dogfight!
Political Vindication Radio starts at 6pm PST, and the chatroom will be open 15 minutes prior. Bring your forks and knives - it’s going to be a feast for the mind!
The call in number to join the conversation is (646) 652-4598
Scientists Now Say That Global Warming May Stop!
The UK Telegraph has the details…
I’m still waiting for someone in the scientific community to finally come out and say that the Global Warming scam is the mother load of all frauds. But for now, will someone please send a Scientology pamphlet to the Gore family!

Clinton Library And Massage Parlor Will Not Release Berger Documents
Just wondering if this is more about protecting Hillary than it is about Bill? Either way, the Obama campaign should have taken advantage of this scandal long ago.
Labour Party Ousted In Britain!
Life Site News has the details…
Elections were held in 137 English local council authorities in England and in all 22 Welsh councils giving a total of 4,023 seats up for election. The BBC reported at six pm. GMT that Labour had won only 24 per cent of votes putting them third behind the Conservatives with 44 per cent and Liberal Democrats with 25 per cent. Labour has lost 331 council seats and control of nine councils with the Tories picking up 12 councils and 256 seats.
The May 1st elections had long been anticipated as the first electoral test of Gordon Brown’s premiership since he took power without an electoral mandate when Tony Blair left office last year. Local councils guide the general political thrust of the country with councils responsible for a wide array of day to day services from garbage collection to adoptions and family services. The local elections are looked upon as a signal to the central government at Westminster and are used in the political trade to calculate vote shares in some seats in the House of Commons in a general election.
Another Leftist government voted out of power… a trend that is becoming very popular around the world!
Happy Birthday Israel
I’m proud of the little nation of Israel. Founded in 1948 and baptized in blood, it has fought for its right to exist in several wars instigated by its neighbors. Those neighbors will say they’re outraged that land peopled by others was expropriated by the United Nations to give to Jews, but that’s a lie. The hatred behind the culture of death that has crept across the deserts of the Middle East springs from a hatred of Judaism. In fact, I’m inclined to believe that if it were a Christian nation there would be the same antipathy, so it’s unfair to circumscribe the murderous urge of many Middle Easterners to Jews - any religion that obstructs the world wide dominance of Islam is apt to be met with bitterness. But Israel endures. A nation forced to live beside a terrorist camp, they must prove their worth everyday. They are the most liberal country in the Middle East, and even allow Arabs and Palestinians to become citizens and Knesset members. To compare them to any other country in that region is to let flow an irony that any Western citizen that cares at all for human liberty and dignity would instead work for the destruction of the only free and dignified nation in the midst of dark age barbarism.
Today also marks a landmark for Political Vindication - I’m about to quote from an article written by Alan Dershowitz. As miserable as his politics might be, he makes a passionate case for respecting the nation of Israel:
