[ April 24, 2024 ]
John Nolte of Breitbart and David French of NRO have been briliant, steadfast and unwavering in defense of free speech and defiant against the sharia restrictions on speech.
Story continues below advertisementThe act of willful ignorance in the media manifests itself through bias, and lies of omission conjured up to serve that bias. These dishonest liars know they are dishonest liars, and willfully choose to not tell the world pertinent facts like, say, Baltimore has been run by Democrats for a half-century, Hillary Clinton is in favor of legally aborting infants born alive, Ted Kennedy abandoned a drowning woman, and George Zimmerman is Hispanic.
Anyone who knows anything about history understands that tactically and morally, Geller’s provocative Muhammad Cartoon Contest was no different than Dr. Martin Luther King’s landmark march from Selma to Montgomery.
The first thing the spittle-flecked will scream upon reading the above is that I am comparing Geller to King. I did not know King. I do not know Geller. I am not comparing anyone to anyone. What I’m comparing is one righteous cause to another.
The second thing the spittle-flecked will scream is that King never would have held a Draw Muhammad Cartoon Contest … which brings me to the first reason there is no moral or tactical difference between Garland and Selma:
- The Oppressor Chooses the Form of Protest, Not the Protester
Whether it is a bully stealing lunch money, an abusive husband “keeping the little woman in line,” a government passing unjust laws, or religious zealots demanding fealty from all, oppressors come in all shapes and sizes.
Oppressors do, however, share three important things in common: 1) The use of the threats of everything from shaming to instituting unjust laws to violence. 2) The goal of stripping others of their rights. 3) The choosing of the design and structure of whatever defiant protest might take place against them.
The protester has absolutely no say in this matter.
The only way to defy and protest against the bully who takes your lunch money, is to not give him your lunch money. Through his own actions the bully has designed the form of protest. The same is true for the abusive husband. If he is using the threat of violence to keep you “in line,” a defiant protest can only come in one form: doing the exact opposite of what he tells you to do or not to do.
If an unjust government passes a law making it illegal to sit in the front of the bus, the only way to protest the unjust government is to sit in the front of the bus.
Martin Luther King did not choose his form of protest in Selma. Racist Southern Democrats did.
Pamela Geller did not choose her form of protest in Garland. The jihadists did.
The day that changed America is called “Bloody Sunday.” On March 7, 1965, five-hundred-plus civil rights activists provoked violence from their oppressors by defiantly gathering on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama.
It was the oppressor who chose this form of protest, not the protestors. Racist Democrats who ran Selma and the state of Alabama refused to authorize the march and pledged to stop it. Therefore the only righteous way to defy these racist Democrats who refused to allow Americans to exercise their God-given right to protest for their God-given rights, was to go ahead with the march.
What was true in Selma 50 years ago also was true in Garland 5 days ago.
It was the jihadists who told us they would oppress us with violence if we exercised our God-given rights to draw and satirize Muhammad. Therefore, to righteously defy this oppression, Pam Geller and the 200 others had no other choice but to draw and satirize Muhammad.
- The Deliberatively Provocative Symbolism of the Site of the Protest
The launch point of the historic 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery was no accident. To poke a finger deep in the eye of their racist Democrat oppressors, civil rights organizers deliberately chose the Edmund Pettus Bridge. The bridge is named after a Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, a confederate Civil War general, and a Democrat U.S. Senator.
Starting their civil rights crusade in such a place was an intentional taunt, an open insult to a diseased culture, and an obvious act of cultural blasphemy.
For the same righteous reasons, Geller chose the site of The Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas, to hold her defiant cartoon protest. Just two weeks after the Charlie Hebdo massacre in France, a Stand with the Prophet in Honor and Respect event was held at the Curtis Calwell Center. The Islamic event was a horror show of extremism.
An indicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombings was invited to the conference, a barbarian who has declared the F.B.I. a terrorist group and preaches, “This so-called democracy of America, will crumble and there will be nothing. The only thing that will remain will be Islam.”
The organizer of the event, Malik Muhammad, has advocated for Sharia Law here in America.
The entire event was premised on “defeating” those who disrespect Muhammad. This was all couched under the politically correct term of “Islamophobia,” but here is the rub:
“Frustrated with Islamophobes defaming the Prophet?” the event materials ask. … “Remember the Danish cartoons defaming the Prophet? Or the anti-Islam film, ‘Innocence of Muslims’?”
Like I said: it is the oppressor who chooses the form of protest.
- A Righteous Cause for Civil Rights
In the face of a very real danger, Martin Luther King, his fellow organizers and hundreds of free Americans, stood up and defied their savage oppressors in defense of their God-given rights.
They provoked violence, taunted, and broke the law, all in furtherance of a righteous cause.
In the face of a very real danger, Pam Geller, her fellow organizers and hundreds of free Americans, stood up and defied their violent oppressors in defense of their God-given rights.

- I Come In Peace
The Selma protesters defying their violent oppressors, did so peacefully. Their only provocation was exercising their rights.
The Garland protestors defying their violent oppressors, did so peacefully. Their only provocation was exercising their rights.
- Democrat Bigots Victim-Blame
While much of the national media sided with the Selma protestors, local Democrats in the media and the political establishment blamed and demonized King, and his followers, for rocking the boat, provoking violence, insulting the local culture, and causing the violence to happen.
Last week, Democrats in the media (New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, and even some sorry corners of Fox News) and the political establishment blamed and demonized Geller, and her followers, for rocking the boat, provoking violence, insulting a culture, and causing the violence to happen.
The 1965 Democrats and today’s Democrats are also bigots. The same CNN that protects Islam from offense by blurring the Muhammad cartoons, does not blur the Piss Christ.
The same New York Times that blasts those who offend Islam, profits from Mormon bashing.
Every one of these present-day media Democrats are silent in the defense of satire and mockery directed Christianity, or they enjoy and defend it. The opposite is true of satire and mockery directed at Islam. And that is the very definition of bigotry.
- For the Righteous Cause of Freedom, People Risk Their Lives
In 1965, defying racist Democrats posed a legitimate threat to your life.
In 2015, defying jihadists poses a legitimate threat to your life.
Martin Luther King knowingly risked his life. Pamela Geller knowingly risks her life.
—
In both good and evil ways, Sunday in Garland, Texas, history repeated itself.
The national media is hiding that fact because they are either too bigoted, cowardly, and biased to tell the truth, or too ignorant to see the truth.

If the bubbleheads understand what Mr. Nolte has said here, Ms. Geller should be flooded with PUBLIC apologies.

To the bubbleheads that would mean admitting they had done something wrong, or even more importantly, that their divisive identity-politics is nothing more than a scheme to ensure thrones for elites.
On the surface of things, the identity politic traffickers can cover for their lies and abuse for a short while. Eventually, the different ‘special’ groups clash or the ideology conflicts.
.
Incidents like this shine a light on identify politic trafficker cockroaches and their loving public takes a closer look in dismay and horror.
..
The rest of us, the silent majority, admire the fierceness and find a new heroine and live vicariously through that.
The leftists do not have Brietbarts or Gellers or Rands but they wish they did.
They crow they are rebels and groundbreakers and are nothing but establishment Central City controllers.

Sad is it not, that the light, which exposes them, causes no introspection?

I have a dream!
That one day bridges, highways, civic centers, airports, will named in honor of Pamela Geller.
Think about it. The Pamela Geller International Airport. Or The Geller Civic Center in Garland; Texas. Or The Pamela Geller Elementary School in New York City.
Like Judy Tenuta used to say. “It can happen!”

Memo to all pedophilic, psychopathic, megalomaniac, mass-murderering, gang-raping confidence tricksters. If you want to put yourselves beyond criticism and reproach, claim to be a prophet of God.

This article is powerful and spot on.
I would only add one thing to it…
For the left especially, but the right equally…..
Turn off your elitism. Not all of it’s arrogance, but some of it is.
The Democrats may truly be bigots as this article explains, but the media of the right suffers from elitism just as much as the left.
This is why Bill O’Reilly failed to defend that with which he would normally hold sacred. The arrogance of those who didn’t look before they leapt, was appalling.
I bet he’s going to get quite a surprise from the results of his poll on Pamela Geller.

That will indeed be an interesting poll. Hopefully the poll will show that American are waking up to the reality that we will not back down Islam until we become more serious about our freedom than they are about their Sharia. Bill O’Reilly is not there yet.

No I don’t think they would falsify the results but I bet they would put a bad spin on it if Pamella comes out of it looking good in the eyes of Americans. Also being British living in the UK how can I manage to vote in this poll, if it has not already finished of course, to show my support for Pam.

Yellow dog Dem my whole life, until 2004, when I listened to Obama’s speech at the Dem convention.. It just hit me, something bad wrong here. Had just finished working for Harold Ford Jr”BLACK CONGRESSMAN TN RUNNING FOR SENATE.” Now these same union friends and others were calling me racist. Had enough, we in this country treat all with dignity and respect Ms Pamela had it all out there in 2007-2008 on her blog and I have been reading her blog every day since.. My disappointment is FOX, oh and by the way, “i WANT TO SHOWER EVERY TIME I SEE GERALDO ON TV.” Ms Pamela has done more for “FREE SPEECH.” Some in this world are born leaders, and Ms Pamela has shocked some off the fence and we now know how we must proceed. We owe her a debt of gratitude.

Interesting photo of the late Martin Luther King next to Pamela Geller, he to angered some folks, white supremacists, Ku Klux Klan, segregationists who eventually assassinated him, not a good analogy on her future post this Islamic Fatwa!

If the U.S. gives one inch to Sharia, then it’s already won. Pamela Geller is a hero for risking her life to stand up for everybody’s rights. The leftist PC media that tried to make it about her instead of them is sick, and they shall pass, but the U.S. Constitution will continue for another 200+ years long after Islam is kaput as a political threat.

I know people have said/asked this before but why is it that for a Religion of Peace, they really want to kill people who disagree with them or they believe have “insulted” their prophet?

Because there will be “peace” when the only ones left are radical islamists.

it’s great that things are being said that clearly show and align islam with the facism which it is. Just like the nazi’s did, these facist muslims murder and kill in furtherance of the the lie they espouse. For sure islam is not a religion – it is a hate filled and murderous political ideology – It has no conscience and therefore has no problem with murdering humanity – any teaching of it in the west should be unlawful. it’s places closed down and it’s none citizens deported. It should be stripped of all it’s outward appearance, because that is part of it’s psyche. Those that teach or speak it should be arrested because what they teach and speak invokes murder and murder is a crime! What other organisation can come to a nation and bring their book out and say “submit or we kill you”? when it is all said and done that is the muslim message. It needs to be DISMANTLED

it sure is coming to mean the same thing but with Sharai attachments added to it. burqa for all females. strict laws against freedom of speech, or what you can eat or drink.
the penalties for violations are down right barbaric.

The fight for freedom is not one for cowards. The cowards are the ones who sit on the sidelines and claim their point of view is right. To make a stand for freedom and hold to it through all adversity is the most honorable position to take. Our history was not founded by cowards.

Regarding the last paragraph of this article: ALL OF IT APPLIES.
Excellent article and ENTIRELY ACCURATE.
These islamophiles ought to be asked if they’d like the country to be taken over by the Catholic Church as it stands today. I’d buy TICKETS to hear the answer to that. No amount of money would be SPARED to prevent THAT from happening!

Please stop aiding the NWO agenda by delineating between Democrats and Republicans, especially when it comes to racism and agenda. Their agendas are one and the same. “Divide and Conquer” is one of their tools to accomplish those agendas. In any case, there are plenty of ignorant villains to go around on both sides, on all sides. I would have thought that would be quite obvious by now.

I would share this if it weren’t for the blinded bias I mentioned above. However, I most certainly agree with what is being said about Jihad, those who carry it out and freedom of speech. I just cannot get on board with the denunciation of one party over another when they are both just as guilty, just as corrupt and of pushing fascism upon our country.

Wow. … Mr. Nolte’s comparison of Garland to Selma gets my vote for the best piece of analysis and commentary I’ve read so far on the topic. A topic: That will probably never be published in the history books. Unless we defeat our enemies (and save Geller’s reputation), it’s unlikely Geller will mean anything to future generations except a justification for the future crimes that will be perpetrated anyway if we don’t wake up and heed her call. …
