British Schools Push Homosexual Curriculum

Some distrbung news from Great Britain, courtesy of  Rightwing News:

"The totalitarian moonbattery that holds sway in British public schools has taken the final plunge into absurdity with a curriculum that features gay math, geography, and science. No matter what the subject, kids will be taught to revere the depraved and disease-spreading homosexual lifestyle. Examples:

Maths — teaching statistics through census findings about the number of homosexuals in the population, and using gay characters in scenarios for maths problems;

Design and technology— encouraging pupils to make symbols linked to the gay rights movement;

Science — studying animal species where the male takes a leading role in raising young, such as emperor penguins and sea horses, and staging class discussions on different family structures, including same-sex parents;

Geography — examining the transformation of San Francisco’s Castro district in the 1960s from a working-class Irish area to the world’s first “gay neighbourhood”, and considering why homosexuals move from the countryside to cities;

Languages — using gay characters in role play scenarios, and teaching “LGBT vocabulary”.

At least that last one should clue kids in as to what “mainstream” media figures like Anderson Cooper mean when they smirkingly denounce patriots as “teabaggers.”

As for tikes too young to comprehend these lessons,

the plans will suggest using images of same sex couples and also promoting books such as “And Tango Makes Three”, which is about two male penguins raising a young chick, inspired by actual events at New York’s Central Park Zoo.

It goes without saying that no one who isn’t profoundly sick would want to promote homosexual perversion to children. But in the final ghastly stages of cultural suicide by liberalism, profoundly sick is the new normal."

Great Quotes From Recent Days

For your enjoyment, some great quotes over recent days:

At this point, feminism is chiefly a guild interested in securing advantage for its members at the disadvantage of its non-members, and can and should then be treated as such by non-members. -- Ace
Public sector workers are pursuing their own narrow financial interests to the detriment of everyone else in their states. That's fine, but can we stop pretending it's virtuous? -- Ann Coulter
Fine, we like teachers, firemen and police officers. We appreciate them. (And for the record, it is statistically more dangerous to be a farmer, fisherman, steelworker or pilot than a cop or fireman. Soldiers also have pretty dangerous jobs, and they don't get to strike.) Does that mean we should pay them $1 million dollars a year? How about $10 million? After all, these are the people who educate our kids, run into burning buildings and take dangerous criminals off our streets! Assuming the answer is no, then apparently we're allowed to discuss government workers' compensation -- even though they do important work. -- Ann Coulter
Western leaders, and the United States especially, have developed a strange habit of ordering particular dictators to step down while declaring their resort to savage violence “unacceptable.” What does “unacceptable” mean — to whom and how exactly so? One did not hear Churchill ordering Hitler to step down in 1940, or Truman demanding that Kim Il Sung leave in 1950, apparently because they either could not realize such threats or were first striving to create the conditions under which such monsters would be nullified by deeds rather than words. Usually those with inferior military power are the loudest; those with overwhelming force calibrate their rarer rhetoric in accordance with the planned use of force. -- Victor Davis Hanson
Now, you might say, ‘What are you doing up there? Aren’t you rich?’ The answer is, ‘Thank God, yes.’ And you know what? As a rich person, I pay 28% taxes. What I want to ask you is, why don’t I pay 50%? Why is everybody in my bracket not paying 50%? The Republicans will say, from John Boehner to Mitch McConnell to Rick Scott, that we can’t do that because, if we tax guys like me, there won’t be any jobs. It’s bull! It’s total bull! -- Stephen King
America is not broke ... Wisconsin is not broke. The only thing that's broke is the moral compass of the rulers. -- Michael Moore
You returning to normal, you gonna launch some attacks on Libya or something. -- David Petraeus to Robert Gates
This is a fakery. If they care at all about their children or grandchildren, and sometimes I doubt that I think, you know, grandchildren now don’t write a thank-you for the Christmas presents, they’re walking on their pants with the cap on backwards listening to the enema man and Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg, and they don’t like them! -- Alan Simpson
The biggest myth about labor unions is that unions are for the workers. Unions are for unions, just as corporations are for corporations and politicians are for politicians. -- Thomas Sowell
The most fundamental fact about labor unions is that they do not create any wealth. They are one of a growing number of institutions which specialize in siphoning off wealth created by others, whether those others are businesses or the taxpayers. There are limits to how long unions can siphon off money from businesses, without facing serious economic repercussions. -- Thomas Sowell
This was what they called “liberal interventionism,” which boils down to: The fact that we have no reason to get into it justifies our getting into it. -- Mark Steyn
As any Homeland Security official can tell you, “Allahu akbar” is Arabic for “Nothing to see here.” -- Mark Steyn
I see that recent polls supposedly show that huge majorities of Americans don’t want any modifications to Medicare or Social Security. So what? It doesn’t matter what you “want.” The country’s broke, and you can vote yourself unsustainable quantities of government lollipops all you like, but all you’re doing is ensuring that when, eventually, you’re obliged to reacquaint yourself with reality, the shock will be far more devastating and convulsive. -- Mark Steyn

Christianity and Western Civilization

The Gates of Vienna blog has an excellent pince regarding Christianity and its contribution to Western Civilization, titlaed "The Heart of Our Culture." It says, in part:

"..........Now that Western Civilization seems to be in the throes of cultural suicide, China stands as the likely inheritor of what remains. For that reason, it’s no surprise that the Chinese have a keen interest in figuring out what made Europeans so successful. Unlike many of our own analysts — to whom some topics are too repugnant to be considered, no matter how politically incorrect the scholar — the Chinese are interested in discovering the real reasons for the success of the West, whatever they may be.

A member of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences — a government functionary in a totalitarian atheist state — has
come to a surprising conclusion. His analysis will not sit well with orthodox secularists in the West, who have done their best to drive a stake through the heart of Christianity for the past hundred years......."

I highly recommend reading the entire piece. If you like that piece, you may like the latest video I favorited at my Youtube page, "In Depth: Pat Buchanan": LINK.

Bush, Palin speeches cancelled due to threats, harassment

Via the Denver Post :

"Saying it received an “onslaught of personal attacks,” a Colorado nonprofit announced in a news release today that it was canceling a scheduled May appearance in Glendale by former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Palin, the former Alaskan governor and possible 2012 Republican presidential candidate, was to be the keynote speaker at the May 2 Patriots & Warriors Gala at the Infinity Park Event Center in Glendale.

The event, sponsored by the Sharon K. Pacheco Foundation, was announced to the media on Friday. The group said today the event had been canceled because of “safety concerns resulting from an onslaught of negative feedback received by the organization.”

“Due to an onslaught of personal attacks against Gov. Palin and others associated with her appearance, it is with deep sadness and disappointment that, in the best interest of all, we cancel the event for safety concerns,” according to the news release.

Officials of the foundation could not be reached for comment today.

The Pacheco Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing resources to military families and at-risk youth.

Tax records show the organization has had meager support over the years — raising only $1,000 in 2008 and reporting total assets of $2,204 in 2009.

The event was to have served both as an awards banquet and a fundraiser, providing financial resources to military families in need and raising money for a grief camp for children who have lost loved ones in combat, according to the original Friday announcement.

The news release, which was issued by the Pacheco foundation about 4 p.m. Saturday, said that no “direct threats have been made against anyone, but the recent increase in negative rhetoric against the former Alaska governor raises concern for her safety and the safety of others.”


This sounds like a worthy organization that could have used the money and positive publicity that Palin’s appearance could have given them and their mission. I hope the jackasses who pressured the Foundation into cancelling her appearance are happy. And here I thought the left cared about military families and at-risk youth? Apparently not when that support comes from private organizations.

And the Bush cancellation, via the Washington Post:

"A planned trip to Switzerland by George W. Bush was canceled after human rights activists called for demonstrations and threatened legal action over allegations that the former president sanctioned the torture of terrorism suspects.

The New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights and several European human rights groups said they were planning to file a complaint against Bush and wanted Swiss prosecutors to open a criminal case against him once he arrived in the country.

In what would have been his first European trip since leaving the presidency, Bush was scheduled to speak in Geneva on Feb. 12 at a dinner in honor of the United Israel Appeal. A lawyer for the organization said Bush’s appearance was canceled because of the risk of violence, and that the threat of legal action was not an issue.

“The calls to demonstrate were sliding into dangerous terrain,” the lawyer, Robert Equey, told the Swiss daily Tribune de Geneve.

A spokesman for Bush said the former president regretted that his speech was canceled.

“President Bush was looking forward to speaking about freedom and offering reflections from his time in office,” David Sherzer said in an e-mailed statement.

Sherzer said that Bush has traveled to Canada, Brazil, China, Japan, South Korea and the Middle East since leaving office.

Organizers of a rally outside the Hotel Wilson, where the speech was scheduled to take place, had called on demonstrators to each bring a shoe, an effort to echo the assault on Bush during a news conference in Baghdad in 2008 when an Iraqi journalist threw a shoe at him."

Looks like some folks still aren’t getting President Obama’s “let’s just all get along” memo. Where’s the widespread mainstream media/left wing outrage? I won't hold my breath.

Hermain Cain

Herman Cain is serious about running for president. On his website hermancain.com, he states: "The American Dream is under attack. In fact, a recent survey found 67% of the American People believe America is headed in the wrong direction. Sadly, this comes as no surprise to those of us who have watched an out-of-control federal government that spends recklessly, taxes too much and oversteps its Constitutional limits far too often."

He is ceratinaly right on the money with that statement. Does Cain have a real chance at being president? Perhaps not in 2012, but one needs to make a start somewhere. There is also the possibility of being named to a position in a Republican administration, something that always looks good on a resume.

Herman Cain did give a great speech at the American Policy Summit hosted by the Tea Party Patriots. The theme of his speech was that we are awake and fighting for America, as he laid out ideas of how to put America back on the path to prosperity. One of his remarks that got the most applause was when he declared: "We are an exceptional nation and we are going to keep it that way! Mediocre is not in our DNA!"  Here is a link to his speech: Click Here.

Ann Hits the Nail on the Head Again!

Ann Coulter has hit the nail on the head in her Feb. 23, 2011 article, "LOOK FOR THE UNION FABLE". In part, she writes:

"The good news out of Wisconsin is that public school students' test scores skyrocketed last week, mystifying educators. The bad news is many student-teacher love affairs were hard-hit without access to janitors' closets and locker rooms.

Democrats are acting as if Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's demand that public sector employees give up collective bargaining would have George Washington rolling in his grave (a clear violation of Gravediggers' Local 803 regulations concerning the rolling of the dead).
In fact, government employees should never, ever be allowed to organize.

The need for a union comes down to this question: Do you have a boss who wants you to work harder for less money? In the private sector, the answer is yes. In the public sector, the answer is a big, fat NO."

Turnabout is Fair Play

By Forrest White

After years of seeing the iron fisted control of Pelosi, Reid, and the rest of their ilk up in Washington, it is nice to see them get a dose of their own medicine down on the State level.

According to FOX6Now.com, the fourteen Democrat senators who flew the coop like cowards are being threatened with recalls and having their paychecks withheld because they have been in hiding. The senators have been gone for five days, and the pressure is ramping up for the Democrats to return. Reports are that a group out of Utah has filed paperwork to recall some of them, and the Senate passed a measure withholding paychecks from absent lawmakers.

The Democrats and their union thug partners in crime are all about the money, so this may well shake things up. More to come, no doubt.

Tone? That's only for Conservatives

Didn't President Obama recently promise to begin a new era of bipartisan cooperation? Didn't President Obama recently say that he heard the American people say they want both sides to work together? Well, that didn't last long, now did it. As Fox News commentator and radio talk show host Monica Crowley states in her most recent article:

"After the Tucson shooting, when his side went wild blaming conservative "talk" and the "tone" of political discourse for the actions of a lone, deranged maniac, Obama gave a speech extolling the virtues of "civility." He urged a change in "tone." He was, as he always is, focusing us on appearances. That's his way of distracting us from the actual substance of policy debates, because in a center-right nation, liberalism constantly loses those debates. If you're focused on "tone," you're not focused on the vast philosophical differences that separate the right from the left on policy. You're also not focused on the fact that the left's "solutions" over the past two years---ever-greater spending, government intervention in nearly every facet of the economy, brand-new massive entitlements---have failed. Utterly. That's why he wants you focused on 'tone.'

Well, it didn't take long for the left to throw 'tone' right out the window. Wisconsin, like most other states, is broke. There is no money. The new Republican governor, Scott Walker, proposed a bill to take on the unions head-on. The bill would strip most government workers of collective bargaining rights. Ohio Governor John Kasich has proposed the same thing, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has taken on the powerful state teachers' union and hasn't backed down. Public sector unions are bankrupting this country. Between ever-higher wages and huge negotiated pension and benefits packages, the costs of public workers are pushing states over the edge. These governors have no choice. They've got to bust the unions, renegotiate the union contracts, and move forward with far less generous packages for public employees. It's so bad that even liberal governors of liberal states are acknowledging the need to move in this direction. See: California's governor Jerry Brown and New York's governor Andrew Cuomo. States (like the federal and local governments) simply cannot go on like this. There is no money."

By Forrest White

On the top of the Democrats’ “Guess who's being overpaid” list are always the evil capitalist CEO's, Wall Street brokers, bankers, hedge fund managers, and other high-ranking officers of large corporations. The truth, on the other hand, is a different story. Those people are not overpaid; their salaries are market driven as all salaries should be.  What is most interesting about how Democrats decry the salaries of CEO's is that they never seem to decry the earnings of Hollywood stars, pop musicians, and the like. Media are people who earn millions by producing what are for the most part worthless goods (and that is being generous). CEO's generally run companies that create goods and services and therefore enhance the economy, and yet those are the people that Democrats rail against. But the Hollywood elite and the rappers & musicians who make millions by producing the sludge & filth that permeates our society? They are off of the liberal's radar screen.

It is time for Liberals to allow the market to decide salaries. If a CEO of a company is successful, he will reap the rewards, and if a CEO of a company is up to no good, it will come to light. If a teacher performs well, they should be compensated, and if a teacher performs badly they should be fired. Let performance and results be the guide to who succeeds in America, not the Liberal’s list of who should and who should not succeed.

Neville Chamberlain is Alive and Well

Dr. Robert A. Morey in "Will Islam Cause WWIII?" writes: "We stand in some ways like those few brave Americans and Europeans who just before World War II warned people of the Nazi threat to world peace. They took the rhetoric of Hitler at face value and saw the buildup of war and terrorism across the world. While others dismissed Hitler and his 'brown shirts' as buffoons, a few people sounded the alarm. Sad to say, their warnings were ignored. "Peace in our time" was Chamberlain's swan song and the world was lulled to sleep while the Third Reich armed itself for war."

Iran is always after "street credibility" with the surrounding Arab states, and their sending of warships through the Suez Canal may be simply more of the same, or it may be an omen of worse things to come. The unfortunate fact is, whenever an enemy pushes too far and Israel makes good on its warnings to go no farther the worldwide press demonizes Israel. There is a distinct possibility that Iran is actually counting on Israel intercepting its ships, thereby causing the press and world opinion to turn against Israel, and ultimately making it easier to attack Israel in the end.

The biggest mistake we can make now is to ignore the capability that they Iranians currently developing, which our president seems perfectly willing to do. Our president is more interested in attacking the governors of Arizona and Wisconsin then attacking Iran's nuclear development program. Just as Chamberlain's naivte cost Great Brittain millions of lives and untold suffering, Obama's naivte - and that of his supporters - will cost Israel and America millions of lives and untold suffering in the end.

School yanks religious discrimination definition

Ah yes, the anti-Christian forces are at work once again. While the Muslims are praised around the world as lovers of democracy, Christians here at home are charachterized as oppressors of non-Christians. Charlie Butts from OneNewsNow writes:

"The University of California-Davis agreed today to either revise or eliminate its definition of "religious discrimination" that characterized Christians as oppressors of non-Christians. Alliance Defense Fund reports that in a letter received from the school Wednesday, UC Davis reported that the webpage containing a glossary of terms defining the Principles of Community "has been taken down to permit further review" -- and that if the glossary returns, "this definition will be appropriately revised."

So Long Junior, We Hardly Knew Ya'

By Forrest White

Do things ever really change? A Democrat President with a Democrat controlled Congress has managed to bring unemployment up to record levels and make minced meat out of our foreign policy and national security. Jimmy Carter you say? No, it is Mubarak Obama and his gang of Chicago imbeciles. Politics they know, but governing they have no idea about. This was all predicted by yours truly two years ago. In knew that within two years Obama's true colors would shine forth, and the GOP would be making a come back. In two more years sanity will hopefully return to government, and then we must go about the business of cleaning up the mess created by the worst president in history. Itn will be hard, but American usually do very well in times if peril. Yes, Mubarak Obama still has two more year to go in office, but rest assured, he is as good as gone already. So long Jimmy Junior, we hardly knew ya'.
