Juan Williams firing by NPR
Defund them! NPR’s firing of Juan Williams yesterday is another demonstration that this leftwing news organization has no tolerance for free speech. One of the first things the new Congress should do is end all funding to this corrupt propaganda machine.
Sorry I have been late in posting about this story. I would like to say more, but I have an article for Sky & Telescope that must be finished by tomorrow.
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.
All editions are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and all book vendors, with the ebook priced at $5.99 before discount. The ebook can also be purchased direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit, in which case you don't support the big tech companies and I get a bigger cut much sooner.
Autographed printed copies are also available at discount directly from me (hardback $24.95; paperback $14.95; Shipping cost for either: $5.00). Just email me at zimmerman @ nasw dot org.

Free Speech is great—but it doesn’t avoid reaction to the thoughts expressed.
I thought Juan’s comments were a bit ironic.
As most people in American prisons are African American, couldn’t you feel uncomfortable (and justifiably so) walking in a neighborhood populated by African Americans?
And what about that Bernie Madoff? He makes me itchy.
Seeing articles on this all over. Both right and left wingers are shocked with how blatent this was.
One news report mentioned how a couple other high profile NPR folks said the world would be a better place if Christians believing in the rapture, one general who said Bush was a godsent – were dead. Another suggested if there was a god he’ld give Jessy helms or one of his grandchildren AIDS. They were not disciplined.
Theres call for a Congressional hearing on cutting the rest of NPR’s federal funds.
One article is wondering if its a coincidence that George increased funding of NPR and some other liberal groups, and focus on “balancing against things like Fox news” had something to do about it.
