Re: Robert Jensen and Sullivans Sontag Award II==Turns out Jensen is a professor of journalism at the UofTexas!!! NO WONDER that our media is so filled with left wing tripe!!! Too bad he won't go and live in France, or better yet, the Middle East.
Robert Jensen is an associate professor of journalism at the University of Texas at Austin, a member of the Nowar Collective, and author of the book Writing Dissent: Taking Radical Ideas from the Margins to the Mainstream? and the pamphlet "Citizens of the Empire." rjensen@uts.cc.utexas.edu
Influential position

Professor Robert Jensen's Wednesday commentary, "A defeat for an empire," was reminiscent of a Jim Wright piece several months back. (See May 2 Wright commentary, "A spoonful of humility, anyone?") The "empire building" theme apparently is still current among liberals. I'd give the good professor's opinion scant attention were it not for the frightening fact that he's in a unique position to influence young minds.

SONTAG AWARD NOMINEE II: "The United States has lost the war in Iraq, and that's a good thing. I don't mean that the loss of American and Iraqi lives is to be celebrated. The death and destruction are numbingly tragic, and the suffering in Iraq is hard for most of us in the United States to comprehend. The tragedy is compounded because these deaths haven't protected Americans or brought freedom to Iraqis. They have come in the quest to extend the American empire in this "new American century." So, as a U.S. citizen, I welcome the U.S. defeat for a simple reason: It isn't the defeat of the United States -- its people or their ideals -- but of that empire. And it's essential that the American empire be defeated and dismantled." - Robert Jensen, Dallas Star-Telegram. |
