i think that black performers, particularly back then, had to be very careful about seeming unpatrioticroad. i mean, paul robeson got in terrible trouble for that, for criticizing america abroad. you know, bill clinton got in trouble for protesting abroad. you know, it's just not the kind of-- it's seen as disloyal. billie holiday did perform it abroad, but there were many places where she couldn't perform it. she was always very careful about where she performed it. you know, it's one thing to do it in new york city in an integrated nightclub or in sort of progressive nightclubs in other cities that were analogous to cafe society, but she would never do the song in the south--almost never. i only came across a couple references to where the song was performed in the south. she tells the story about doing the song once in mobile, alabama, and having the police ride her out of town, essentially order her out of town. i would have loved to have documented that. again, it's one more issue i tried to examine, and there was just no record left behind. why do you think the b.b.c. banned stran

what i am doing is not unpatriotic.nevertheless i think what you said is quite right. >> mechanically the president can launch the invasion and then it is up to everybody else to force them to come back. and i think what i was saying before about the economic issues, i think then it becomes more relevant. one reason that i think, one reason it holds us back, one reason that it seems too late is that people have gotten jobs from it. people of gotten contracts from it. people of gotten jobs from it. i have seen with my own students conflict resolution -- we have the largest graduate probe ram in the country and conflict resolution, about 340 masters and doctoral students. and the question is what do they do when they get out? some of them go as you might imagine, some work for the government and some of them work for foreign governments and some of them worked for the u.n. and many of them work for ngo's. many of them work for relief organizations or do development work. but more and more, it is the government that is off

these are the companies that i consider to be unpatriotic because their interest is of their ceos and stockholders, not of people. not of people who depend on their services, not people in the country where they live and where they work. the companies like british petroleum is not patriotic in britain or here. not because they're british, but because of their destruction of people's lives and of the environment. so i think that i would define it a little bit differently, but i agree with you that the biggest problem we face is the lack of concern of corporations for people's rights, for the rights of the environment. and these are the struggles we have ahead of us as we struggle to end wars. we have to look at who's profiting from those wars. >> host: next call comes from louise in johnson city, tennessee. louise, you're on the air. >> caller: well, thank you. thank you for c-span and thank you so much, ms. bennis, for what you are doing. please, keep doing it. >> guest: thank you. >> caller: keep doing and saying what you are. without c-span i would drown in beautiful east tennessee.

"this is disgusting; this is unpatriotic; this is sacriligious; this is"-- they should be allowed to do that without disrupting the show for others. and that's the whole point of it. so museums are very savvy these days. if there is anything that's going to be a little bit controversial-- or difficult new art for an audience to take, they usually put up warning signs saying, "this may not be suitable for kids under"--blah, blah. they also say, "this may horrify you. we want to warn you that this is going to happen." and often, they will have interactive-- a book that you can respond to or a computer or whatever. and that's very important for the public, to be able to get up. now, i'm not saying i wasn't hurt sometimes when the artist, in particular, would get up in a place and say that i wasn't doing enough or standing up enough for the first amendment. it hurt my feelings, because i felt i was working as hard as i could for them. but, you know, they had to speak their mind. and you would hear from both artists and members of the public and-- oh, yeah. and no one was really satisfied

with atheistic immoral and unpatriotic ideas was called secular humanism. looking at human history and cultures hence the term humanity in the 20th century religious reformers use the term to describe the emphasis as upon to -- as opposed to define it and a number of intellectual signed a humanist manifesto to lay out the tenets of religious humanism. the movement would later produce a rather insignificant organization of several thousand members of a single modern megachurch. collated 1851 from holyoke to look at the questions of ethics secular humanism safire tried to nail jell-o to a tree. that term gelatinous nature stems from a origen or rather the lack of any genuine political movement. it is a make-believe doctrine invented by christian theologians to blame for the diminished 10 am glittery her best it is a code word for anybody on this side of communism and including liberal feminist civil libertarians and appearing in 1933 courtesy of reverend package a series of lectures predict the imminent collapse of the false gospel of secular humanism. 10 yea

carter's government in its famous but to indoctrinate christian youth with atheist immoral and unpatrioticideas. it was called secular humanism. cumin is some of the big term into node in the study of human history and culture hence the term humanities. in the 20th century religious reformers reformers use the term to describe the emphasis on human as opposed to define affairs. in this theme, number of american intellectuals on a document called the humanist and and a festival in 1933 the lead up tenets tenets of religious humanism. the loose move that would later produce a rather insignificant organization of several thousand members about the size of a single modern mega-church called the american humanist association. secularism is also a big term coined in 1851 the english atheist and convicted blasphemers george jacob holyoke to denote a rejection of answers to questions to ethics. secular humanism is a concept that this definition to fight even william safire who stumbled through a column to compare the exercise to try a no jell-o tree. the terms july of this nature stems origins or

for me the most unpatriotic corporations tend to be americai like aig, goldman sacks, theseps bankinganies, bankamerica.t these of the companies that i consider to be unpatriotic peak as there interests are those of their ceos and stockholders, not the people who depend on their services or the people who inth the country where they live and itain work. british petroleum is not patriotic britain or here, notuo because they are british, but'sf because of their destruction ofk people's lives. diffently, that b would define in a little bit differently but i agree the problem we face is the lack of concern of corporations for people's rights. these are the struggles we haves ahead of us. as we struggle to end war we have to look at who is wars. profiting. >> host: next call comes fromseh luis in johnson city, tennessee. you are on the air.or >> caller: thank you. thank you for c-span, and thankm yous so much, ms. dennis, for what you're doing. please keepan doing it. drown without c-span i would drown in beautiful east tennessee. uerstn i do not understand why congress allows the corporat

well, it's apparent the republicans don't mind calling good americans unpatriotic and socialists. especially those of us vietnam veterans trained to kill the socialists. they flipn'tly toss it around. and perhaps they get their act together, most of us democrats will. and more macentyre who voted against the health care bills, maybe we ought to give us a real democrat. and dino ought to become a ryano. host: mike freeman tweets he was saved only by demonstrates working for defense contractors. he is an ardent hawk and defends any war any time. lieberman for the defense. is there a second editorial. the remarkable -- we recall rooting for the democrat as he challenged a republican in 19 8 and we haven't regretted it since. he is described as a john f. kennedy democrat where he has supported low tax rates in the j.f.k. tradition. less admirably he provided the 60th vote for obama care which his grandchildren will pay for if it isn't reappealed. and supported george w. bush in 2006. that would be the party of the vice presidential nominee six years earlier. the general election and c
