When I get on a plane with a group of nuns, I feel wonderful and safe.

...But I can’t say that about all groups of people. 


Any U.S. federal taxpayer funding of the asinine “public broadcaster”, the left-wing NPR (and yes there is some, though it’s not even remotely comparable to Canada’s 100% state-owned, and fully state-funded radio, television media called CBC, which also gets funding for programming, and laws and broadcasting rules and regulations to protect its existence against market forces)  —should be stopped immediately, and a federal investigation launched. 

Juan Williams is a champ.  NPR is an American national disgrace for its actions last night.

And let me expand my usual mantra for this instance:  state-owned, state-run, and state-funded media should be banned in this country, and in America too.  I’m shocked that normally sensible Americans still put up with their taxpayer dollars going to a radio network or any news or entertainment media whatsoever.

•  Huckabee calls on Congress to cut NPR funding

•  FLASHBACK: Soros give NPR $1.8M to hire 100 reporters…

Juan Williams: Going Rogue
by Sarah Palin on Thursday, October 21, 2010 at 1:45pm

At a time when our country is dangerously in debt and looking for areas of federal spending to cut, I think we’ve found a good candidate for defunding. National Public Radio is a public institution that directly or indirectly exists because the taxpayers fund it. And what do we, the taxpayers, get for this? We get to witness Juan Williams being fired from NPR for merely speaking frankly about the very real threat this country faces from radical Islam.

We have to have an honest discussion about the jihadist threat. Are we not allowed to say that Muslim terrorists have killed thousands of Americans and continue to plot the deaths of thousands more? Are we not allowed to say that there are Muslim states that aid and abet these fanatics? Are we not allowed to even debate the role that radical Islam plays in inciting this violence?

I don’t expect Juan Williams to support me (he’s said some tough things about me in the past) – but I will always support his right and the right of all Americans to speak honestly about the threats this country faces. And for Juan, speaking honestly about these issues isn’t just his right, it’s his job. Up until yesterday, he was doing that job at NPR. Firing him is their loss.

If NPR is unable to tolerate an honest debate about an issue as important as Islamic terrorism, then it’s time for “National Public Radio” to become “National Private Radio.” It’s time for Congress to defund this organization.

NPR says its mission is “to create a more informed public,” but by stifling debate on these issues, NPR is doing exactly the opposite. President Obama should make clear his commitment to free and honest discussion of the jihadist threat in our public debates – and Congress should make clear that unless NPR provides that public service, not one more dime.

Mr. President, what say you?

- Sarah Palin

Of course the Canadian state-owned CBC’s columnist Heather Mallick described Palin having the look of a “porn actress,”  and is someone who is “white trash” and caters to the “white trash” (that’s me and most of you) vote.  She thinks Palin is an “Alaska hillbilly.”  Her “Husband Todd looks like a roughneck.”  So we know what the CBC types would think of Palin’s opinion on this matter.
