Socialism - Liberalism Quotation
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened." – Norman Thomas
Carrie Prejean and husband Kyle Boller are expecting their first child in May 2011. Prejean, 23, and Boller, quarterback for the Oakland Raiders, were married in July 2010. Prejean hit the world stage in a bigger way than expected when Perez Hilton, a gay judge for the Miss USA 2009 pageant, scuttled Prejean's chances for winning the Miss USA title when he asked Prejean's pageant question, and didn't like the answer: "Do you believe every U.S. State should legalize same-sex marriage?" See the video below.
Her answer:
Well I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one way or the other. We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And, you know what, in my country, in my family, I think that, I believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman, no offense to anybody out there. But that’s how I was raised and I believe that it should be between a man and a woman.
What we learned from Carrie's time on the Miss USA stage is that contestants representing this country must not express opinions favoring traditional marriage or faith.
Joseph Farah at WorldNetDaily has stepped off the precipice and printed private emails from Ann Coulter, in a dispute over Ann's speech at the GOProud "HOMOCON" convention. Really now, does Farah believe he can slay a monster by printing their private conversation? Apparently so. In general, I agree with a column at Hot Air that this takes the focus off of health care, the economy, jobs and Iran nuking Israel. I found a quote from Ace at Ace of Spades that is pretty much my position (the following are snippets - please read it all here.
The GOP cannot be an overtly, officially religious party charged with monitoring everyone's personal sins. It cannot be. Ever. I view the party on morality as I view it on economics. A government cannot create wealth; it can only, and should only endeavor to, foster a wealth-friendly environment in which wealth-creation is likely.
Similarly, a government cannot mandate what sort of sex is legal and what sex is illegal. It can only foster a morality-friendly environment win which moral behavior is likely.
There are situations when the government is required to make some kind of official legislative choice on matters typically deemed moral. The law of marriage is an obvious one; drug prohibition has typically been considered another.
But the party cannot agitate to expand and multiply the number of decisions it will make on "behalf" of citizens, against their will, to enforce a morally hygienic lifestyle.....
Coulter is not a gay marriage advocate, but an opponent, which leads me to conclude that Farah is ultimately not agitating for a policy position like traditional marriage only, but simply for that which is impermissible: taking an anti-gay-person stance, period.
It's true that 90% of gays (including conservative-leaning gays) want gay marriage. It's also true that a significant portion of the greater conservative caucus is Paulite in its hostility towards the use of military force, and a larger (but now no longer majority, I don't think) part of the caucus is neocon in its faith in military solutions.
We generally disagree on these issues without attempting to cast out the unbelievers. (Okay, admission: During the height of the Iraq War, and the height of manufactured "Paulmania," with all of his appearances on Truther Alex Jones' show, I sure did welcome the prospect of purging the party of such people. But as a general rule, we don't do that.)
Farah's position is essentially that gays simply cannot be conservatives at all and must be purged from the party. He does not seem to be an opponent of a policy, but an opponent of specific people. That doesn't strike me as fair, conservative, or keeping with the American way of doing things...
Read J.E. Dyer's Hot Air column here. If you want to read all the dreadful details, do an Ann Coulter Joseph Farah search.
GOProud is a group of gay conservatives in Washington D.C. Ann Coulter was asked to give the keynote address and she accepted. The fundraiser known as Homocon is scheduled for September 25th. The location has not been announced.
“I’m so tickled that she agreed to do it,” Jimmy LaSalvia, executive director of GOProud told The Daily Caller. “Think about it: She’s hilarious, she’s provocative and, honestly, our folks just love her.”
LaSalvia said Coulter was the only person the group asked to headline the party, and she immediately agreed.
“Of course I’ll do it,” Coulter wrote to GOProud when they asked her to join the event. “I’m the right-wing Judy Garland!”
GOProud used that quip to advertise the event, adding, “our gays are more macho than their straights!” which Coulter wrote in a2005 articlecomparing liberals and conservatives.
Britain is waging a war on Christians. The homosexual agenda and Muslims in the country are on one side of the battlefield, and they are winning. Unabashadedly, the leadership of the country has ignored the fact that their own monarch receives her sovereignty over the Nation from an almighty God. A good question is: what is the monarchy doing about it?
Queen Elizabeth II
Below is a transcript as well as the video. Here's a pull-out quote:
"In the United Kingdom the homosexual agenda is militant," he said.
"The power shift began in about 2000, and they've been arresting
Christians, jailing Christians for hate crimes, shutting off grants,
constant litigation with the government, constant aggression."
At her coronation, Queen Elizabeth, like British
monarchs before her, promised to "maintain the laws of God and the true
profession of the gospel." But today, Britain is at war with the
gospel, and with itself.
British Christians who take their faith into the
workplace risk being demoted or fired. The government continues to push
an aggressive gay rights agenda, while threatening to criminalize
Christian speech and practice.
"Yesterday I got a letter from the advertising
standards authority over complaints saying that my billboard that says
Britain is a Christian country is offensive to atheists and other
religions and it incites hatred against them. What nonsense," he said.
Hargreaves said Britain is constituted as a Christian country.
"Daily prayers are said in parliament whether
atheists like it or not," he added. "The queen is head of the Church of
England and therefore has to acknowledge God for her sovereignty over
the nation. These things are written, not just into our culture and our
heritage, but into our constitution."
At one time, Britain was the missionary base for
the entire world, even sending missionaries to the new American
colonies. But today, the cases of anti-Christian bigotry and
discrimination have risen sharply.
Director Andrea Minichiello-Williams warns that if
British Christians don't step up now, the nation is on a path to
eventually criminalize the practice of Christianity in public.
"There's been a massive move by the secularist
lobby to privatize religion," she said. "You can have faith so long as
it doesn't affect you in the work place. So long as you don't bring it
into the workplace. 'Just make it private. It can't be public. It can't
affect what you do in the public square.'"
Christian Kwabena Peat was forced to attend homosexual sensitivity training at work, administered by a lesbian.
"One of things that she said was, she asked the
question, 'What makes you think that to be heterosexual is natural?' At
which point, I walked out," Peat said.
Then Peat wrote a letter to the sensitivity
trainer, explaining the Bible's position on homosexuality, and that God
loved her and Peat loved her. He was suspended.
"They said that by me telling them about the Word of God, it constituted harassment and intimidation," Peat said.
Peat was just recently reinstated. But cases like
his are repeated over and over. Doctors, Nurses, adoptive parents,
deemed unfit because of their Christian beliefs. Christians are told
not to speak about God in the workplace or they could be punished for
offending homosexuals or Muslims.
And now the British government wants to pass a new
equality bill that would force churches to hire practicing homosexuals
or transsexuals.
Christian lawyer Paul Diamond has been very successful in defending discrimination cases against Christians in the courts.
"In the United Kingdom the homosexual agenda is
militant," he said. "The power shift began in about 2000, and they've
been arresting Christians, jailing Christians for hate crimes, shutting
off grants, constant litigation with the government, constant
aggression.
Diamond said there is no "live and let live."
"Your Christian values are wicked and evil, and that's what they want everybody to believe," he added.
A BBC program called Bone Kickers, showed a violent
Christian beheading a Muslim. Britain's government TV has also put a
Muslim in charge of all of its religious programming.
Islam continues to advance in the UK in large part
because the government and media give it almost a protected status,
while essentially persecuting its own state religion, Christianity.
Many believe the architect of Britain's new
anti-Christian culture was former Prime Minister Tony Blair, a
professed Christian who championed gay rights. Both Minichiello-Williams and Diamond offered the
same warning to American Christians: that any anti-life or hate crimes
legislation that emerges under the Obama administration will erode
America's Christian base.
"This is all coming to America," Minichiello-Williams said. "If you liberalize the laws as President Obama has done."
"Do you know who Obama reminds every British person
of? Tony Blair," Diamond said. "Charming, persuasive, convincing, the
appearance of moderation, and then he shoved all the Judeo-Christian
values down while saying he was a Christian."
Diamond said the British know what is going to happen in America.
"We know what's going to happen to your 40 percent
church attendance," he added. "It's not going to 40 percent. It's going
to be 20 percent, when the Federal and state government start saying
that if you criticize homosexuality, the hate crimes laws will apply to
you Christians."
By some estimates it only took about 10 years for
the state to almost completely undermine Britain's Christian heritage.
Barring a sudden move of God, it is likely to take far longer to
restore it.
Kevin Jennings is Barack Obama's very, very unsafe Safe Schools Czar. America, we must ask ourselves how this man is continuing to keep his job. Whether you are a parent, a grandparent, an aunt or uncle, or the next door neighbor, or just a taxpayer with common sense, you must be concerned about Kevin Jennings. See Michelle Malkin video below.
Kevin Jennings
Jennings was a gay teacher in his previous life before being promoted to the White House and defended by the Education Secretary, Arne Duncan. He is the founder of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). GLSEN says that their mission is keeping gay and lesbian students safe while on and off school grounds. They object to bullying, of course, and name calling and more violent actions against gay and lesbian children.
I stand for that cause. Every child should be safe - at all times, from everyone. However, there is nothing safe about Kevin Jennings' secret mission, which is to bring children into the active sex life of a homosexual at the earliest age possible.
There is so much to tell about Jennings and his past that it is hard to know where to start, so for today I'll begin at a new revelation from the Washington Times:
The new whoops is a safe-sex guide distributed in a Massachusetts [the state where Jennings taught] high
school in 2005. Included in the book are the addresses and phone
numbers of Boston-area gay bars to make it easier for teens to find the
businesses that cater to homosexual men over the age of 21. The guide's
descriptions of what goes on in these bars is explicit. Over here,
there's "dancing, young guys and those who like young guys." Over
there, the ambience is "old school, cruisy, sex-charged late at night."
At another hot spot, there's "porn on the television, the old, the
young. Something for everyone."
Most of us find it outrageous that gay, lesbian or straight children would be targeted for sex with an adult. Have we forgotten, or conveniently ignored, that having sex with a minor is against the law in this country? It's called rape - right? If for no other reason than this one example, I'm asking how we are allowing this man in the White House, alluding to creating a safe environment for the safety of our children...or not.
The example above is only one of a long list of Jennings activism in sexualizing children. The above article lays out a few of them:
1) Whoops, while a teacher, he enabled a teenager to continue a sexual
relationship with an older man whom the student had met in a bus-stop
bathroom.
2) Whoops, he praised one of the North American Man/Boy Love Association's most vociferous defenders.
3) Whoops, the group Mr. Jennings founded, the Gay Lesbian Straight
Education Network, recommended books for children as young as 13 that
present sex between minors and adults in a positive light. [Actually much younger than 13 - more on that later].
Is this a possible explanation for the administration's blind eye to Kevin Jennings?
A pattern has developed over the course of the Jennings scandal in
which tolerance is shown for the idea that minors and adults having sex
is something to be encouraged and facilitated or, at worst, politely
ignored. For some reason, because the minors involved in sexual
relationships with adults are homosexual, the Obama administration is
closing its eyes and ears to the problem. That's a fantastic double
standard that would never apply to heterosexual relationships between
adults and children.
Note in the instance of the "new whoops" offense, that underage drinking is also not a concern to authorities. This is tragic for our children, whether gay, lesbian or straight. As the Washington Times article points suggests - we are condoning the creation of alcohol-addled children as prey for older men.
About the reading list mentioned above, GLSEN makes a list available to all teachers. It is a long and gosh-awful list. Somewhere, there are teachers ordering from this list. God help you if your child is subjected to this swill. Can it really be that bad, you are asking? Well, yes it can. Here is a very small sampling, and you can read all of the examples here. I'm asking you to brace yourself, and for the good of this country, follow the link and read the excepts from eleven of the books on the list. Here is an example of one of the tamer quotes:
(At the age of six, the author
frequently performed fellatio on his fellow first-graders in the school
restroom, part of a “busy homosexual childhood.”)
My sexual exploits with my neighborhood playmates continued. I lived
a busy homosexual childhood, somehow managing to avoid venereal disease
through all my toddler years. By first grade I was sexually active with
many friends. In fact, a small group of us regularly met in the grammar
school lavatory to perform fellatio on one another. A typical week’s
schedule would be Aaron and Michael on Monday during lunch; Michael and
Johnny on Tuesday after school; Fred and Timmy at noon Wednesday; Aaron
and Timmy after school on Thursday.
None of us ever got caught, but we
never worried about it anyway. We all understood that what we were
doing was not to be discussed freely with adults but we viewed it as a
fun sort of confidential activity. None of us had any guilty feelings
about it; we figured everyone did it. Why shouldn’t they?
The reading list, according to GLSEN, is made available to children from grades 7 through 12. The excerpts I've read have nothing to do with keeping children safe from bullies, and has everything to do with setting them up for a life of violence and victimhood, beginning at a young age, and the hand of an older man, in most cases.
I left this example for last. It is so appalling - so beyond evil. Do you know about "fisting?" I cannot find a link to take you to that looks close to respectable to explain fisting, so I'll quote the first line at Wikipedia: "Fisting is a sexual activity that involves inserting a hand into the vagina or rectum." Please go here to learn how GLSEN promotes fisting to school children.
Call the White House, your Congressmen, your school board, and especially the mainstream media - in your local area at headquarters in New York and Atlanta. As Michelle Malkin says in the video below, the media is displayed an astonishing moral cowardice. Check your city to see if GLSEN has infiltrated your schools. Let's turn up the heat and get this man out of the White House. Many are trying to do this, and we need your help.
Jennifer Hartline, in an open letter to Barack Obama, says she is an Army wife and mother and she wants egregiously-named 'Safe School Czar' Kevin Jennings removed from that position.
Kevin Jennings
As I prepared my article yesterday on the outrageous reading prepared by Jennings' Gay and Lesbian organization - a reading list being peddled to schools across the country, I also planned to write an open letter to our president. Mrs. Harline, however, says exactly what I want to say, and so I'm printing portions of it here.
I hope you will inform yourself about this reading list, as repulsive as it is to do so - Hartline calls it "putrid smut." America, we must know what is happening. Links at the bottom of this article to all the pertinent information. First, a pullout quote from Jennifer Hartline:
I am unutterably sick to death of the hyper-sexualization of our
children in this culture, and I will not silently allow you and
Jennings to further this twisted agenda in our school system under the
banner of tolerance and equality. How dare you use the power of your
office to pollute my children’s futures with rampant, forced, immoral
sexual indoctrination!
Here are portions of her letter:
We have endured a great deal from you in one short year, and it is
simply too much to bear any longer. You are clearly bent on taking our
country down a road of unabashed immorality and debauchery no matter
what the people think or say to the contrary. It is time for our
elected leaders to take a bold initiative and curtail your abilities to
do any further damage.
You have filled your administration with people who hold the most
outrageous, insane, and frightening views on everything from our
climate to our animals and worst of all, the sexuality of our children.
You plainly gravitate toward these radical sorts who have a view of
America and the world that I and many other will simply never tolerate.
Your intentions have been revealed, and they are divisive and
destructive.
Do not attempt to distance yourself from the views of Van Jones,
Cass Sunstein, and John Holdren. You don’t get a pass anymore. The buck
stops with you. If you appointed them, then you believe what they
believe. If you think they’re off-base and you disagree with them, then
you shouldn’t hire them to do your laundry, let alone fill a
cabinet-level position. If they’re on your team, then you’re okay with
everything they’ve said and published – period. You’re the one who
wanted the job, so stop crying about being unfairly aligned with crazy
radical views.
Quite possibly the worst of all is Kevin Jennings, your so-called Safe Schools Czar.
That you have given this man the task of making our public schools
“safe” for students to learn is stunning. Jennings has a view of
“health” and “safety” for our kids that is shockingly corrupt and
devoid of morality and you gave him the job. ...
I am unutterably sick to death of the hyper-sexualization of our
children in this culture, and I will not silently allow you and
Jennings to further this twisted agenda in our school system under the
banner of tolerance and equality. How dare you use the power of your
office to pollute my children’s futures with rampant, forced, immoral
sexual indoctrination!
As a parent and voter I demand that Kevin Jennings be removed from
his position today, and I demand that my Congressman and Senators take
action to require his removal.
Rep. Barney Frank (D-MASS) and his partner James Ready have been in an intimate relationship since 2007. It was disclosed today that Frank was present when Ready was arrested for growing marijuana on his [Ready] property.
Barney Frank
This story is in the news today because Rep. Frank supports the use of marijuana for medical purposes. Frank and Ready met in 2005. Ready's partner was ill at the time. When his partner died in 2007, he and Frank began "dating."
Barney was visiting Ready's home in Maine after their relationship began. Frank was sitting on Ready's front porch when the police happened by. They found pot growing on the side of the house, or in the backyard (out of Barney's site). Later the police came to the door and arrested James Ready. He paid a civil fine and remaining charges were dropped in 2008.
In July 2009, Barney Frank introduced legislation to "strengthen legal protections for state-authorized medical marijuana patients." Eight of the co-sponsors are Democrats with one, Dana Rohrabacher, a Republican representative of California joining.
I'll surprise more than a few of my friends by saying that I also support marijuana for legitimate medical use - and no, I do not know how to define what "legitimate medical use." This is not the post to get into the details of marijuana and cancer or marijuana and multiple sclorosis, but I will say, until recently, I have not considered marijuana and its deriviates as a possible source to stop or diminish tumor growth, until this.
In the video below, listen as the interviewer from FOX25 "offends" Rep. Frank. I am absolutely loathe to agree with with man about anything, but here I am doing so - at least in theory.
Kevin Jennings, Obama's Safe Schools Czar, was "inspired" by Harry Hay, an icon of NAMBLA - the North American Man Boy Love Association, the founder of Radical Faeries, and a communist. Hannity interviewed a former FBI undercover agent with NAMBLA Bob Hamer, who infiltrated NAMBLA. This is a must see video, especially since NAMBLA has gone underground for the last couple of years. See video below. See update below video.
Harry Hay
To be clear, Harry Hay was not a member of NAMBLA, but he spoke at multiple conferences and I have links to some of them along with quotes. Harry Hay was a major supporter of NAMBLA. There is no insinuation in this post that Kevin Jennings is a member of NAMBLA.
Kevin Jennings said he was "inspired" by Harry Hay. Regular Folks offers a link to a 1977 transcript [and other great commentary about Jennings] with Jennings speaking: Promoting Homosexuality in Schools. Here is the quote that everyone is talking about today:
One of the people that’s always inspired me is Harry Hay, who started the first ongoing gay rights groups in America. In 1948, he tried to get people to join the Mattachine Society [the first American homosexual “rights” group]. It took him two years to find one other person who would join.
To evaluate whether it is odd that the Safe Schools Czar would be inspired by Harry Hay, and promote Hay's work in this own organization, GLSEN, here's some information about Harry Hay [beware: it is not for the squeamish]:
Harry Hay formed the Mattachine Society, designed to support gay men, in 1951. He had a problem, however, because he was also a Communist, and the Communist Party and its constitution did not allow gay men into their membership. There are differing stories about what happened next, but it appears that he quit the party to protect it from his reputation with Mattachine and his gay lifestyle in general. Officially, he was deemed "a security risk" because of his homosexuality, but his homosexuality was never really mentioned:
Hay responded by describing to her “the ancient and traditional pact faithfully adhered to in the Homosexual Brotherhood wherein one never reveals the identity of another without his permission—under any circumstances—even in the face of Party membership requirements.”
Hay is viewed as a man who "put the party ahead of his own lie's struggle." By the way, he was eventually driven out of the Mattachine because of his "radicalism."
Hay and his almost lifelong partner, John Burnside, formed the Radical Faeries. They are known as the Fathers of the Radical Faeries, Harry Hay is/was known as "A Gay Faerie Elder." If you are brave enough to go there, there is a website radfae.org. Be prudent about what photo pages you go to. Here's a quote from Mr. Hay:
"Confronted with the loving-sharing Consensus of subject-SUBJECT relationships all Authoritarianism must vanish. The Fairy Family Circle, co-joined in the shared vision of non-possessive love -- which is the granting to any other and all others that total space wherein each may grow and soar to his own freely-selected, full potential -- reaching out to one another subject-to-SUBJECT, becomes for the first time in history the true working model of a Sharing Consensus!" -- Harry Hay, Arizona, 1979
Hay died in 2002. Here is a memorial statement from radfae.org:
Harry Hay passed peacefully in his sleep at 2am on October 24, 2002, with a waxing full moon in Gemini. His partner John Burnside and longtime friend Joey Cain were with him when he died.
Please hold the Dutchess in your thoughts, throw glitter, be real with someone, kiss a man in public, or jack off to help Harry have a good transition. She loved us very much, and we have much to thank the cantankerous old girl for...
It is my purpose today, in this brief discourse, to lay out for your delection these ingredients, which you might find engaging in devising a fresh decor for your 1990s parameters, ones that might infer delightful hidden approaches to gay spirit.
The image of the older devotee being totally responsible for the shining boy Apollo, whose inspirational shaping is within his spirit care, the modern-day equivalent of the immortal pair of the older-younger lovers of the Theban Band, each nonpossessively challenging the other to grow and develop to his finest potential, continues to embody, in my view, the responsible cutting edge of gay spirit, a truly shining path to live for.
In today’s frightening world where the hysteria of the hetero world is clearly out of control, we all of us need more of such hand holds to steady our courses.
He also spoke at NAMBLA Conferences in San Francisco in 1984 and Los Angeles 1986, as well as a "Forum at New York University 1983 and the Spirit of Stonewall Conference, New York 1994.
...the men who were there when I needed them so very desperately, and who reached out in love, and who reached out in trust, and who gave me the opportunity to learn love and trust at a very early age.
So I’m about twelve years old and I swim very well at this point—very good swimming underwater and various other things. And so I don’t go into the kids’ pool, I go in the big pool. And I had this experience probably five or six times. Some man comes up to me, wants me to see how long he can stay underwater. And it’s important for me to understand just how long he stays underwater. He’s going to go way down to the other end of the pool and he’s going to come up between my legs and he’s going to come out the other end. So he goes down to the other side, he swims through my legs, and he [does?] my c**k out of my bathing suit and he caresses it a couple of times and comes out the other end. And then he is going to come back. So he comes back through again, and this time spends a little more time.
I think it’s important to realize that I know perfectly well that I can stop this game any moment that I want. I can call the attention of the kids around me to what’s happening. And I know perfectly well that he’s going to be hauled off. I don’t know exactly what’s going to happen to him, but I know they will come and get him because I’ve seen that happen before, already at twelve years old. But I am not going to reveal this man. I’m not going to reveal him because in me there’s a sense of loyalty. I’m not going to reveal him to the others around him, I’m not going to expose him, and I’m also not going to expose myself either….
Hay makes it clear that he was manipulated, not molested and not brainwashed.
I also would like to say at this point that it seems to me that in the gay community the people who should be running interference for NAMBLA are the parents and friends of gays. Because if the parents and friends of gays are truly friends of gays, they would know from their gay kids that the relationship with an older man is precisely what thirteen-, fourteen-, and fifteen-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world. And they would be welcoming this, and welcoming the opportunity for young gay kids to have the kind of experience that they would need.
With everything we know about Kevin Jennings, and if you don't know much, there is a link below with details, Kevin Jennings needs leave the office of Safe Schools Czar. What is really disgusting is the President Obama hasn't already fired him, and even more disgusting is that Obama considered Jennings for the job in the first place.
