The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The Laureate's wikipage is very interesting.

This is an interesting guy.

He's been accused of being a CIA agent or at least some kind of connection with the CIA.

In the past, he's advocated against religious fundamentalism of the kind that seems to be reflected in Islamism which is overtaking the Western World.

So, you'll find he's probably not a very popular dude with the Progressive Left.

I don't remember any protests on his behalf when he lost his visa.

Assuming that visa loss represents a denial of free speech to the first African Nobel Laureate (historical dude!),
how come the first time I heard of him losing his visa, or even heard of the dude himself, was in guessjeans's post starting this thread?

Why no protests at our Ivy League and other universities?

Why no outrage from the Progressive Left and academia?

LOL because he has a track record which could be interpreted as critical of the radical Islam that the Progressive Left now favors. So, he's personal non grata.

The only reason you even posted this is you guys spend so much time and energy just trolling the internet and doing your A.I. searches to find ANY snippet about anything you can take out of context and use as a "Trumpkin Dunk."

Ges, if you're so all fired concerned about intellectual freedom, and of this guy in particular, do a little book report for us about his opinions on Islam.

Not just Trump.

C'mon man you can do it. You opened this can of worms.
