Keely: Wrong Again, but Perhaps Unintentionally Right? 
Tom Hansen posted a video from the NSA Candidate's Forum on Friday. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kvkg42Aw9c8

In that video, a young lady asks a question about Islam to those seeking public office. 

Here are a few tidbits for the background context: 

  a.. This was a public forum, open to the entire public. Anyone could attend. Anyone could ask a question. 
  b.. The young lady asking the question is not an NSA student. 
  c.. The young lady asking the question has zero ties with NSA, Christ Church, Trinity Reformed Church, or any other associated ministry. 
  d.. The young lady who attended the public forum is a UI student. 
Now take all of those facts and run it through Keely's bigoted framework: 

  The point here -- at the Nuart yesterday -- is that it says very little, while saying a lot, about what NSA students are learning when  this poorly phrased, inane, and inflammatory question was put to local women and men running for local offices.  I don't intend to humiliate the young woman; I consider her part of a failing culture and a faulty curricula, and I imagine she knows no other.

Knowing that she's a UI student with zero ties to NSA, should we agree with Keely that this young lady is "part of a failing culture and a faulty curricula, and I imagine she knows no other"? 

I wouldn't say such things about the University of Idaho's culture and faculty. But it cracks me up that Keely would.

Yes, this is a typical bigoted response that Moscow has become accustomed to from Keely Mix.

Have you any revised thoughts on the Uof I's "culture & cirricula?"

  This is very sad.

  I'm sure this very pleasant young woman has now had most of her political positions and preferences confirmed now that Ringo, Brown, Schroeder, et al, failed to weigh in on the "what to do with Muslims who threaten my Christian friends in Boise?" question.  The fact that the question is offensive, absurd, and entirely not what local elections are about tells me that the education she's receiving -- would that be NSA? -- is woefully lacking.  Adding to it, with what appears to be genuine befuddled sincerity, is the query about Obama's faith.

  A man who publicly claims Christ as his Lord and Savior, as Obama has, surely isn't a Muslim, because in doing so, he puts himself at risk if he were, indeed, a Muslim.  Now, public claims of Christian fealty don't make one a Christian -- a point that hardly seems necessary to make, especially here in Moscow -- but it absolutely means he's not a Muslim.  (I'm offended at the idea, by the way, that even if he were, it would mean that he's somehow unfit to govern).  Personally, I'm going to examine the fruit, and I'm able to conclude that he probably really does worship Christ -- as if what I conclude about his faith should matter.  The point here -- at the Nuart yesterday -- is that it says very little, while saying a lot, about what NSA students are learning when  this poorly phrased, inane, and inflammatory question was put to local women and men running for local offices.  I don't intend to humiliate the young woman; I consider her part of a failing culture and a faulty curricula, and I imagine she knows no other.
