Sports teams use victims of genocide as mascots, usually with caricatures. Weapons of destruction are casually given similar names: Apache, Blackhawk, Comanche helicopters; Tomahawk missiles; and so on. How would we react if the Luftwaffe named its lethal weapons ‘Jew’ and ‘Gypsy’?


Wow, that's deep, Noam.  Really makes me think. BTW, equating the military to Nazis?  I can see why people think  you're so brilliant.

I sometimes think that man despises anyone that can take care of themself.
I have read a few of his books...the man is exceptionally well written, however I simply disagree with his politics.

The people that typically rally around him are the typesa that have this deep seeded desire to know the truth behind everything our government and industries do behind closed doors....and while I can admire that curiousity, I think they fail to sense the gravity of that endeavor. If citizens knew half of what went on within the bowels of industry, they would lose faith in the American way....I ask you...how does that benefit anyone?

Truth at what cost?

When I think of who represents the best example of pseudo-intellectual, America-hating, left-wing totalitarianism, Noam Chomsky immediately comes to mind.

Is there any doubt that he would start a mass execution of the people he disagrees with if he could?  He really sees anyone who disagrees with him as evil incarnate and a pestilence upon a 'enlightened' society.

Easy to see how things like the French Terror and the Ukranian Famine can happen once you realize how arrogant and self-righteous some people are.

The Apache name was taken because they were a fierce, warlike people.

If anything it is a badge of honor to have your enemy respect your bravery to such an extent that he eventually names his weapons after you.

Is it so hard to understand that we take those names because we (now) respect certain aspects of their history?

Sure, our forefathers often treated them dispicably....but living in the past just makes you a bitter liberal.

I believe in the dignity and value of every human life.

But sometimes I am convinced that Chomsky is a turd come alive, and should have been flushed a long time ago.

Chomsky, Churchhill and their ilk do secretly wish to bring back madame la guillotine, and put heads like ours on the block. In reality, if they ever achieved the utopian dream society they espouse, they would be the first ones stood up against a wall. They are just too narrow-minded to realize it.

When I hear someone say Noam Chomsky, the word douchebag comes to mind.

He did do a lot to further the understanding of how humans learn language.  It's unfortunate that lead to him thinking of himself as someone worth listening to on political topics.

He was a brilliant linguist...back in the 1950s.

He hasn't done much lately, except mouth off.  Self-absorbed egocentric asshole is aboslutely correct.  What's worse is that it stems from something he did 50 years ago; he's a has-been.

Ya know, this is too true.

It is entirely strange to me that these people recast everything in their own image & vision of correctness. Certainly they espouse that mankind, specifically the culture of America, must be reshaped in order to right grievous wrongs that continue to this day. However, at the same moment, they ignore the blessed changes that were wrought by Americans striking down the wrongs of their day, yet they hold them up as the evidence supporting their grand indictment of America.

It is as if they have no capacity for historical context, but only for their own supposed moral correctness. They revel in the glory of such people as Mumia, Mandela, and Arafat yet sanctimoniously blot out the grievous transgressions of these same sacred cows all the while they defame America and her citizens for mere infractions.

Certainly it is not about right and wrong, but about them being right and America being wrong. This is the only way that they can gain the power and ability to remake America in their own perverse & disgusting image. Sadly, this battle is only beginning.

Down with cultral revisonists! Down with political correctness! Down with historical editorialization!

Yeah I'm sick of all these stereotypes, As a Scandinavian-American I bluster with fury at any team called "the vikings", I mean come on, What they trying to say? That all Norwegians are great sailors, explorers, traders and asskickers?? And Im sure those horns on the head are supposed to mean we're all devils. And also I think that all Irish people should picket any team that is called "Celts" "fighting Irish" "gaels" or anyother name like that! What they trying to say? that all Irish can fight? And Also I can say as a newyorker I am disgusted with the "so called" team the Yankees. Why don't they just have a team called the "confederates"?? OH NO! that would upset the white man too much! but it's OK to refer to new yorkers as "yankees" or worse yet "METropolitians"!  it just makes me so damn mad!

Chomsky has said a lot worse, including saying that America was in need of "de-Nazification". Time has passed hiim by. A fair percentage wannabes go through a Chomsky phase, but it usually leaves little mark.

Anyway, the Army names their helos after Indian tribes. The tribes like it. The tribes they're named after are invited to the dedication of new helos and are part of the ceremony. Why wouldn't they like to be honored for their fighting spirit?
