Theres simply no market for communism, socialism. globalism, and "progressive"
thinking/ Political Correctness outside the UT classroom/pulpit of liberalism.

If you want to preach anti-US hogwash, become a marxist member of UT.
There, you'll be fully accepted.

In the real world, marxism is dead.

<p>During my nine years as a columnist for the San Antonio Express-News,
I
<br>have covered a wide variety of topics related to issues of justice,
peace
<br>and equity, especially as they impact people of color here and abroad.
My
<br>column, I've been recently informed, has been discontinued.
<p>It was just over a year ago that a heated controversy erupted over my
<br>columns, mostly those critical of U.S. and Israeli policy toward
<br>Palestinians. A prominent rabbi accused me of anti-semitism and disparaged
<br>my writings in a sermon, demanding I be terminated for, among other
<br>reasons, suggesting that certain constituencies have more media power
than
<br>others in our nation.
<p>At that time, the Express-News to their credit, refused to terminate
my
<br>column, citing not only freedom of the press, but also explaining that
to
<br>do so would prove that constituency does indeed have more media power.
<p>Now, as a response to my last two articles, "Jenin survivors ending
the
<br>silence" (March 1); and "Israel gets billions while Americans tighten
<br>belts" (March 15), the editors confronted me with the charge that I
relied
<br>too heavily on one source.
<p>That, according to them, is grounds for terminating my column. It's
<br>important to note that there were few or no questions regarding the
truth
<br>or the facts as I presented them, nor about the credibility of the
source
<br>itself. Neither were there any charges of plagiarism.
<p>In response I submitted copies to the editors of the various sources
I had
<br>consulted for both articles, including the Christian Science Monitor,
the
<br>Washington Times, Human Rights Watch, the U.N. Report on Jenin, as
well as
<br>The Independent, a respected British newspaper.</blockquote>
