Bill Ayers spoke at the University of Oregon last week on the subject of teaching and organizing for “social justice.” His speech was not free of the radical sentiments he is well-known for espousing (especially in the company of America’s youth). Case in point: he spoke of the end of America, a new world, and what our role ought to be in all of it.
Almost as interesting as Ayers’ speech itself, perhaps, was how the leftist radical wasintroduced by the university . One girl, who described herself as a doctoral student at the university, spoke of the privilege they would have with their honored guest, in an “evening [of] radical imagination.”
Two others, an professor at the university and a graduate student, remarked: “Most of us have in one way or another acknowledged the sovereign authority of the U.S. government– or the state of Oregon– in order to be here tonight, either admission to the university, , or just paying the parking meter. We have not, however, asked permission of the [Native Americans] whose ancestral home this is, and to fail to acknowledge that this remains disputed territory would in effect be taking sides, [and] reinforce the erasure of indigenous history and indigenous peoples.”
When Ayers spoke, it was largely of how the “American Empire” is over, and what this means for her citizens (though there was a fair amount of “the wasteful American” theme throughout as well):
The great challenge for our generation [is] to find a way not just to live differently as individuals, but to find a way to think differently about what work means, to think differently about citizenship means, to think differently about what it means to be a ‘citizen of the world.’ One of the great dangers that we live in right now, is I don’t think there’s any question, and I don’t think any of you would question, that the American Empire is in decline–that economically, and politically, and in some ways culturally, that we are in decline. And yet, the United States remains the most powerful, weaponized military system the Earth has ever known.
That’s a treacherous combination. A declining economic power, and an expanding military power. And we are going to have to find ways to re-imagine what it means to live in this coun–in this world. And here we are 4% of the world’s population, 4.5% of the world’s population, consuming vast amounts of natural resources, consuming vast amounts of finished goods, and no politician will say that the empire is declining and that the game is over.
It’s over. Now what? [Emphasis added]
Perhaps we will transform into a Euro-style state, though that was not a peaceful transition for Europeans, Ayers noted:
And you know, my optimistic friends say: “Oh boy, we’re going to look like Germany, or England, or France,” and I think “Jeese.” I mean, first of all, for England and France and Germany to become non-empires it took the deaths of millions and millions of people, so let’s remember that.

On a less chilling, and far more familiar note, Ayers called Republicans racist militants:
But let’s also remember that as power shifts, and as people feel something changing, they can either embrace it as a possible good thing in the world, or they can hold on to and become more, you know, reactionary. More racist, more militaristic, and that’s happening too. So it shouldn’t surprise us to see the Republican primaries.
I don’t know about you but I watch the debates as if watching a train wreck, I mean I was just fascinated with it– my wife is just sickened by it– but, I thought it was interesting and also telling that that is a tendency that we’re going to see more and more of.
But how does the leftist radical see the world from here? With all of the protests and the great changes throughout the world, what does Bill Ayers see for our future?
And that means, for me that means, that it’s our responsibility to fight here and now for a little more democracy, a little more participation, a little more peace, and keep putting our shoulder on that wheel because the opposition is fighting for– you know, another world is definitely coming, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be a better world, and it’s our responsibility to jump in. [Emphasis added]
Bill Ayers celebrated, memorialized efforts to kill cops and actually planted a bomb at a statue dedicated to police casualties. “[T]he blast broke almost 100 windows and blew pieces of the statue onto the nearby Kennedy Expressway.” “Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Department headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972...” “Some media reports and political critics have suggested that Ayers, Dohrn or the Weathermen were connected to the fatal 1970 San Francisco Police Department Park Station bombing ...”
...Today, Bill Ayers — who did the same thing as happened yesterday in Boston — is a celebrated figure on college campi, a celebrated figure in “the American academy.” For those of you in Rio Linda, that means the universities, where there is supposedly intellectual inquiry going on. There’s no intellectual inquiry going on. There is propagandizing going on, and worse. So there you have it.
“[W]hat does Bill Ayers see for our future? ‘And that means, for me that means, that it’s our responsibility to fight here and now for a little more democracy, a little more participation, a little more peace, and keep putting our shoulder on that wheel because the opposition is fighting for — you know, another world is definitely coming, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be a better world, and it’s our responsibility to jump in.’”
So this former terrorist, and now expert at education and corrupting America’s youth, shows up on a college campus to decry America, to rip America, to say America’s bad. We’re in decline and that’s good. We deserve to be in decline. But our military is getting too big. It’s a new world. We need to find out how we’re gonna be citizens of it, because we’re no longer really gonna be satisfied to be Americans, ’cause America’s in decline.
That’s what’s celebrated today on the American left.
Look, I don’t want to make too big a deal out of this. Bill Ayers didn’t blow up the Boston Marathon, but somebody like him did. Somebody like him did, and that could mean that whoever did this could someday be celebrated in this country if things don’t change. Whoever did it could end up being on the faculty at Columbia University. Just last week Bill Ayers finally confirmed what Obama has always denied. Obama has denied knowing Ayers other than as some casual acquaintance from the neighborhood.
Bill Ayers confirmed what Obama has denied, that Ayers held a fundraiser in his living room for Obama. It was in an interview last week with The Daily Beast. Ayers recalled the fundraiser: “We were friendly, that was true; we served on a couple of boards together, that was true; he held a fundraiser in our living room, that was true.” It was all true, everything that was said about Obama and Ayers back in 2008 that was denied is all true, and Ayers has now admitted it, because what’s to lose? America’s finally in decline, everybody’s getting what they want, nobody can do anything to Obama now, so what the hell, why not admit it? And Ayers did.
Senator Dianne Fienstein (D-CA) went on national TV and accused Republicans of being Islamaphobic. Well, excuse me for not being politically correct, but I think it’s high time we call on our elected officials to stop embracing radicals. Watch the video below, and then explain to me why the Governor of Massachusetts and the Mayor of Boston not only embraced this radical Imam who preaches jihad, but aided this radical mosque with taxpayer funds.
This Muslim leader in Boston, Imam Farooq, called on his congregants to “grab onto the shovel, grab onto the gun and the sword, don’t be afraid to step out into this world and do your job.” What “job” do you think he was talking about? The only thing he left out was “grab onto your bomb.” And this guy has the full support of these high ranking government officials. It’s pure insanity. Freedom of religion is one thing, but if you take the seven minutes to watch this video you’ll learn that these radicals are working to take what was a moderate Muslim community and turn it into a community of jihadists. Oh, and this problem doesn’t stop with officials in Massachusetts.
Of course, Leftists like Feinstein are much more comfortable calling Conservatives “extreme” or “radical” than calling actual radicals and extremists out. Apparently, priorities are a tough one for the Liberals in this country.

Comment of Donald Hank: Bill Ayers is a terrorist, and if it hadn't been for the 'white priviledge' (that is, priviledges for white leftist loonies) that he decries, he would be in jail.
ReplyDeleteWe need to work hard to end priviledges for all, including white billionaires like Soros, the white political class in Washington and white terrorists like Ayers. As well as priviledges for all people of all races, creeds and classes. NO ONE should get priviledges. Workers should keep their earnings and loafers should get a job.
