Obama adviser asks if Beck is "man enough" to "dialogue" about "social justice"
I don't think Mr. Beck is interested in social justice, at least not as President Obama defines the term. I'm actually not, either, although I'm interested in the kind of social justice that teaches a person to fish so that he (all shes are included in the nominative pronoun by English's grammar default) can support himself and his family if he is willing to work hard and grow in the job.

#10  TW, I actually suspect that BB may be correct about conversions away from Islam. I have thought for quite some time that Islam is a hollow shell, and only the threat of death for apostasy keeps an appearance of strength and order. I did a two-part essay about all this (here and here) ages ago, and everything that I see happening in the world still convinces me that I am right. Islam is a hollow shell, and the upper echelons of their leadership know it - and that is why they react to violently.

#9  The taking of what one person earns is not "Social Justice". It is called stealing. More at this link.

#8  Wow Black Bart - fabulous summary of what I've been thinking since DS/DS. Let's follow the advice of the Abbot of Citeaux " . . . God will know his own"

#7  They Bible is one thing and the Constitution is quite another. Ever hear of the concept of separation of Church and State?

Charity, when it's voluntary and motivated by genuine good will, is a noble thing. Taxes for some "community organizer's" idea of "social justice" and taken at the point of a gun are quite another...especially when the people who vote for the community organizer pay no taxes.

Can we get some clarity on that point? Is it too much to ask?

#6  Anyway what is "Social Justice"? One group believes in equality of opportunity the other of equality of outcomes. I think one is possible and in fact very healthy for a society to strive for and the other is not possible and will tank an economy and has tended to create millions of dead.

#5  Using the Irish as an example... The conflict with militant Islam will continue until people stop making excuses for murder. When that stops the money stops and the terrorists will start to blow up stuff that costs a lot of money and causes terrible inconvenience rather than killing people. Than terrorism loses its romance (to losers that is) but at the same time a Democracy can make a deal with them (again I'm not sure Islam can do this because the deal they want requires total surrender and submission).

#4  So why doesn't the guy just call Glenn Beck instead of soaking up airtime on some obscure show.

#3  Black Bart, the glowing glass option remains, or rubble so fine it's dust. But we need to give the other a fair try so we can look our grandchildren in the eye if in the end we have proved it won't work. What I'm hearing from the people on the ground is, "Give us more time, we can do this." When they stop saying that, then we can load up the bomb bays and the missile launchers with the heavy duty stuff.

Until then? There are senior Muslim religious leaders claiming six million conversions to Christianity each year; others who say there are secretly significantly more -- both outright conversions and quiet falling away from belief. Most of the residents of the Gaza Strip would leave if they were able, and the same sentiment holds throughout the Muslim world. Yes, too many would bring their pathologies with them, but they do realize things aren't right at home. Even more realize the Caliphate will not be established any time soon, and that in fact the jihadis have lost this round. They may hate us, but their god seems to have chosen us to punish them -- after all, when they venture away from home they mostly seem to get caught before they can accomplish anything useful, whereas at home they can blow up one another as long as they can find someone to make the vests and IEDs.

As for dropping the soap? We have private showers in our homes. All their soap dropping is only going to lead to pulled hamstrings as they bend over to pick it up again because there won't be anyone else there.

#2  Look at it this way. We are faced with a malignant enemy who is inferior to us in major ways. They are "Rage boys" from monkeyland and wear turbans and copy us but dont innovate or create anything except what they buy from us.

They burn down schools and squat. They are Moslems.

And they hate us, really really sincerely HATE us.
And they hate Jews too...for much the same reasons as they hate us. We have flush toilets and can zap your ass with a missile launched from a drone and then go back to the tent for a Beer.

It will go on for as long as the Irish bomb Belfast until we get tired enough of dragging ..it..all.. out...for ..some ...PC...piss...and decidetojustkill a whole lot of them at once and smellitcooking and glowinginthedark.

I mean, you CAN wake up one morning and decide they are all EXPENDABLE and not worth the effort of treating them as anything but BBQ. Say lets do it Wednesday as soon as we find the button box.

It IS as easy as the distance between your thumb and your finger. You just dont care if they have names anymore or if their mother loves them. Get her too.

or do you WANT this war to go on...and on....and on...until they put something really DIRTY in your kids lap?

Quit lying to yourself about "Peace". Let the EUroweenies tell you about bending over and inviting the Moslems to be your neighbors. And get some of that Hopenchange while you are at it.

And be sure to join the Happy Holidays bunch at the Mall, Chuck. Listen to Moslems tell you Jesus never died, that's all BS, he got some Jew to do it. And that flag you have, the Red, White, and Blue one. That's an oppressors flag, an Imperialist flag, lets apologise for it.

You either fight , Dwayne, or they will drop the soap on the shower floor and get you to pick it up.

#1  Forget Mr. Beck. Let's ask the EXPERTS! How about a "dialogue" about "social justice" with Fidel Castro? He's been at it down there for a little over 50 years. Let's see how he's doing.
