Science And The Anti-Liberty Crowd
By Spiritof76
One of the things fundamental to science is establishing categories and their clear definitions. In that spirit, I group all the socialists, the communists, the dictators, and the progressives into the anti-liberty crowd. There may be differences among them in terms of degree of collectivist oppression, but they are all arrayed against the founding documents of our country.
The anti-liberty crowd has been very vocal about how they are guided by science. They have accused the US of promoting a scientifically unsustainable lifestyle of gluttony of energy and food at the expense of other countries. They promote their top-down policies through the so-called anthropogenic global warming hoax. They have declared that our founding documents are backwards and not suitable for the current high technology environment.
Their climb to power through their declared scientific affinity started with Woodrow Wilson claiming that our Constitution was modeled on outdated Newtonian physics, while Darwinian Theory was being touted at more appropriate. He wanted to get rid of separation of powers and checks and balances under that pretext that they were impediments to his collectivist vision. The anti-liberty crowd then advocated eugenics to eliminate the “weak” races for the good of humanity. Margaret Sanger used the twisted interpretation of the science of the day to set up Planned Parenthood to reduce the “inferior” Negro race. The anti-Liberty crowd in Russia and China wanted to modernize agriculture by establishing scientifically superior collectives and command and control economies. Millions perished under Stalin and Mao. The anti-Liberty crowd chalked that up as an incidental damage necessary for a superior end.
They are now promoting the “renewable” energy, unlimited abortion blurring the infanticide boundary, and gay “marriage,” destroying the family unit necessary for the ideals of founding principles to endure. Each one of those can be shown to be anti-scientific.
The solar and wind energy (or the “renewable” energy) can never economically replace the conventional sources of energy because the former sources are diffused when they need to be highly concentrated. Electrical energy cannot be stored at levels that are practical. No amount of taxpayer subsidy can replace the “renewables” as an alternative to the conventional sources. Just ask yourself this question: If wind power is so great, how come the sailing ships gave way to steam power with coal, oil, and nuclear energy sources?
Since the Progressives claim to be followers of the Darwinian theory of evolution, with natural selection underpinning it to perpetuate the species, how could they forego its consistency when it comes to the promotion of homosexual relationships on par with the naturally-favored heterosexual relationship? They say that the theory of creationism was unsupported by science; and yet, they promote homosexuality as value-equivalent. How can there be a homosexual marriage when it can never be consummated? Biologically, anatomically, and emotionally, the male and female of the species have evolved to maximize perpetuation of the human race. Homosexuality cannot be supported on a scientific basis.
How about abortion and the anti-Liberty crowd’s staunch support of it, unlimited right up to birth? Prior to the advent of the Sonogram, they characterized the developing human life in the womb as an accumulation …read more

The Hypocrisy Of Selective Outrage: Zimmerman Vs. Martin
There are no winners in this case. A young man is dead. Trayvon Martin’s family will never see him again, and George Zimmerman’s life – though he avoided a prison sentence – will never be the same. Having all the evidence and facts available to make an informed decision, the jury ruled Zimmerman acted in self-defense. Al Sharpton’s crusade will now continue in civil court.
Immediately following the not guilty verdict Saturday night, tweets were sent out about revenge, and death threats were aimed at Zimmerman, the jury, and the public defenders of this high-profile case. Zimmerman’s home address was posted on line with, “you know what to do.” One thug tweeted a picture of himself holding an AK-47 rifle and, “Zimmerman, we comin fo yo life, bi*ch.”
Hollywood celebs and pro athletes alike joined the protest. New York Giants Wide Receiver Victor Cruz Tweeted: ‘Zimmerman doesn’t last a year before the hood catches up to him.’
Atlanta Falcons Roddy White tweeted: ‘All them jurors should go home tonight and kill themselves for letting a grown man get away with killing a kid.’
Geraldo Riviera commented on how the jury may have reasoned:
“I see those six ladies putting themselves, on that rainy night, in that housing complex that has just been burglarized by three or four different groups of black youngsters from the adjacent community. It’s dark; a six foot two inch, hoodie-wearing stranger is in the immediate housing complex. How would the ladies on that jury have reacted?”
Regardless of what you think about the Zimmerman verdict, the jury somehow did what the media refused to: remove politics and ignore public pressure. Instead they chose to focus on the facts, laws, and evidence in the case.
Few in the media report on the travesty in many inner cities in America where black on black deaths continue to increase with the crime and violence.
Few in the media report on the massive number of black babies being aborted at Planned Parenthood and other Gosnell clinics, especially in minority neighborhoods. Where is the public outcry over these deaths?
While the Zimmerman case was concluding, at least four more people were murdered in Chicago, one of them an eight year-old-girl.
Since the July 4th weekend, dozens of people have been injured and 16 killed in Chicago – mostly shooting deaths – in one of the strictest cities for gun laws.

Kermit Gosnell Trial: Much Ado About Nothing
By Matt Barber
What’s the big deal?
I mean, why are we surprised that an abortionist and his staff would, behind the walls of an always-lethal abortion clinic, commit one of the most horrific serial killings in American history? What did you think abortionists do, heal people?
Why are we taken aback that there was no oversight and no regulation, or that Planned Parenthood, though privy to the clinic’s filthy, medieval conditions, refused to report it to the Department of Health? After all, Planned Parenthood, Barack Obama, and the DNC have vehemently opposed all laws – such as those in Virginia, Mississippi, and elsewhere – designed to prevent exactly the same kind of squalid conditions found in Gosnell’s clinic (and others), laws that simply direct abortion mills to meet the same minimal safety standards required of all other medical facilities.
You didn’t really buy that whole “women’s health” nonsense, did you?
Sucker.
Seriously, there are so few sociopathic doctors left willing to hack alive those inconvenient little buggers; so you anti-choice nuts need to just chill. Who cares about “blood smeared walls”; or babies left to drown in toilets; or snipped spinal cords; or dismembered body parts kept in jars; or screaming, crying newborns silenced by decapitation? What did you think women were “choosing” with abortion, some kind of medical treatment? We’re not removing a tumor here. You’ve got to kill a few babies to make a “reproductive freedom” omelette. Besides, there’s billions to be made in the death racket.
Let’s keep it real. The only difference between what happened in Gosnell’s Philadelphia clinic and what happens every day in Planned Parenthoods across the country can be measured by a matter of inches – by the child’s proximity to her mother in the room. Whether the baby is in the womb or 12 inches removed, a dead baby is a dead baby, right? So why all the drama? Relax. You know, Roe v. Wade and all.
Besides, what’s an abortionist to do (wink, wink) if that resilient little pest does survive, if she’s born alive? I appreciate President Obama’s candor on the matter. Like he said, laws preventing abortionists like Gosnell from finishing her off are “really designed simply to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion.” Snippety-snip, eh, Barack? You know, choice and all.
Or, as Gosnell attorney Jack McMahon noted during the trial, it’s “ludicrous … to say a baby is born alive because it moves one time.” You anti-choice zealots don’t get to define the terms here. One man’s “alive” is another woman’s “unwanted pregnancy.” Potato, potahto.
And why are we stunned that the mainstream media have spiked a story with all the bloody and salacious newsworthy trappings that – had abortion not been involved – would have filled the news cycle 24/7?
You think some now-barren, 40-something copy editor who’s had five abortions wants to draw attention to its grisly reality? You think she wants to be reminded of her own string of dismembered little choices? No, better to sip
If I Were A Killer
This is just a hypothetical story
Of someone, let’s just say it’s me
I’d gain acceptance for my murderous ways
By stalking a defenseless prey
I’ve been reading some horrific accounts about the demonic medical practice of Abortion. I’m going to spare everyone the gory details because I can’t bear to even get through a few sentences without wanting to fall to the ground in shame and disgust. I just want to know – how in the world did we let this happen? How is it that the miracle of life has been so thoughtlessly and so brutally interrupted (often merely for the sake of convenience)?
What a wretched society we’ve become – the blood of the pre-born innocents is on our hands!
Lets consider some of the statistics:
* According to their official report, Planned Parenthood performed 334,000 abortions in 2011. They also received a record level of taxpayer support: $542 million in fiscal 2012. Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider, with 995,687 abortions performed in the past three years.
Other telling statistics as reported by the Guttmacher Institute in August 2011 are as follows –
* Nearly half of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and about four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion. Twenty-two percent of all pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion.
* Eighteen percent of U.S. women obtaining abortions are teenagers; those aged 15–17 obtain 6% of all abortions, teens aged 18–19 obtain 11%, and teens younger than age 15 obtain 0.4%.
* Women in their 20s account for more than half of all abortions; women aged 20–24 obtain 33% of all abortions, and women aged 25–29 obtain 24%.
* Thirty-seven percent of women obtaining abortions identify as Protestant and 28% as Catholic.
* Women who have never married and are not cohabiting account for 45% of all abortions
* The reasons women give for having an abortion underscore their understanding of the responsibilities of parenthood and family life. Three-fourths of women cite concern for or responsibility to other individuals; three-fourths say they cannot afford a child; three-fourths say that having a baby would interfere with work, school, or the ability to care for dependents; and half say they do not want to be a single parent or are having problems with their husband or partner.
A majority of individuals, both within the church and on the outside, have completely disregarded the Biblical, traditional belief that the act of sexual intercourse is a special, sacred union between husband and wife. Such a standard is now mocked and ridiculed as outdated, old-fashioned, and unrealistic. There once was a time when prudence and piety were two of the most virtuous characteristics one could exhibit. Such noble and practical attributes are basically non-existent in today’s edgy and ‘advanced’ world.
We are currently living in a highly sexualized society. Our modern culture has little regard for modesty, chastity, and purity.
Regardless of these realities, as parents, don’t we want our children to conduct themselves in a respectable and honorable manner? Shouldn’t they learn the importance of self-respect? If
Arkansas Senate Votes To Axe Planned Parenthood, Sex Ed Funding
By The Huffington Post News Editors
The Arkansas Senate on Tuesday passed a bill that defunds Planned Parenthood and effectively kills a comprehensive sex education program in the state’s public high schools.
Arkansas Senate Bill 818, introduced by state Rep. Gary Stubblefield (R-Branch), would block all state funds from going to any entity that provides abortions or refers patients to other abortion providers. The bill would also prohibit any organization that contracts with an abortion provider or referrer, including power companies, water companies, health insurers or medical suppliers, from receiving any state money. Supporters of the bill argue that it prevents taxpayer money from indirectly paying for abortion and abortion referrals.
Planned Parenthood does not receive any family planning money from the state, but the bill will end a state-funded HIV and STI prevention program that Planned Parenthood administers in Arkansas public high schools. Darrell Seward, the assistant football coach and health education teacher at Little Rock Central High School, said the program is invaluable to his students.

Obama’s HHS Mandate Disrespects Catholics Everywhere
The HHS initiative is anti Catholic in its inception and its implementation. The Obama administration has demonstrated its disdain for Catholics and religious freedom in general. The initiative is a disgrace for what it intends to do.
Anyone who looks at the situation through an objective lens can see that this administration is trying to impose its will on Christians and especially Catholics. The government exists at the will of the people, and yet this administration constantly tries to pull the wool over our eyes as if we were children who cannot see through their obvious attempt to usurp our right to practice our religion as it has been prescribed for more than 2000 years.
The Obama government actually thinks it can change thousands of years of tradition and beliefs. Secretary Sebelius and the Department of Health and Human Services should be ashamed of exploiting young women the way they are doing. They are encouraging women to go out and have sex with anyone and not worry because any mistake can be corrected within 72 hours, and all of this should be funded by their employer. It doesn’t matter whether or not their employer happens to be the Catholic Church, whose teachings specifically forbid the very action the government is championing.
In spite of the Constitution and the First Amendment (freedom of religion), the Catholic Church is being forced to fund contraception and short-term abortion. Of course, if the pill doesn’t work, the women can still “correct their mistakes” as the president so eloquently put it. He proved this was his view when he was a State Senator in Illinois. He voted to allow out-of-uterus abortion regardless of the term. This borders on infanticide and should be treated that way. Illinois’ morals are a question for another time. Now if all the precautions and pills fail, the women can still go to Planned Parenthood and have it taken care of right up to the day the baby is born.
At a recent Congressional hearing on abortion, Planned Parenthood was asked what should be done for a baby who is born and and still fighting for its life. Their answer was that the decision is up to the patient and the doctor. Of course, they were referring to the mother as the patient. They had to be reminded that since the baby was now a living person, he/she becomes the patient. Once confronted with the reality, having been caught off guard, the Planned Parenthood spokesperson could not answer the question. And Planned Parenthood receives government funding. Do you see where this is going?
This is all part of a secular conspiracy to blunt the influence of the 1.2 billion members of the Catholic Church. This feeling of entitlement is instilled to keep the women dependent on the federal government for their every need. One thing the women should remember is: what the government gives to you, the government can take away. When that time comes, it is too late because you are so dependent you don’t …read more
Kansas Senate Passes New Abortion Restrictions
By The Huffington Post News Editors
By Kevin Murphy
KANSAS CITY, Kan., April 5 (Reuters) – The Kansas state Senate passed a measure on Friday that would ban Planned Parenthood from providing sex education in schools and require women to get more information about fetal development before having an abortion.
The measure was approved by a 28-10 vote and was expected to pass easily in the House of Representatives, which backed the 70-page bill in largely similar form earlier this week. Republicans have large majorities in both chambers. Republican Governor Sam Brownback, who opposes abortion, is expected to sign it.
Opponents of the measure say it contains 40 provisions that affect a woman’s health and intrude on her right to an abortion. Advocates said it mainly codifies existing practices, while helping women make more informed choices.
“This fulfills the legislative intent to create a pro-life state,” said Kathy Ostrowski, legislative director of Kansans for Life.
The Kansas bill is the latest development in a national fight over abortion that has seen lawmakers in several states pass new restrictions on abortion in the past two years.
Those have included laws approved in the past month in North Dakota and Arkansas that are seen as direct challenges to the U.S. Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973 that legalized abortion.
The Kansas bill prohibits use of public funds, tax preferences or tax credits for abortion services.
The bill also requires abortion clinics to provide printed material about the fetus’ stages of development, a link to websites, material and organizations that help pregnant women, and an explanation of legal responsibilities for an unborn child.
The bill bars school districts from letting abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood offer, sponsor or furnish course materials or instruction on human sexuality or on sexually transmitted diseases.
The bill defines life as beginning at fertilization, but does not ban abortion from that point. (Reporting by Kevin Murphy; Editing by Mary …read more

Indiana Abortion Pill Bill Passed By House, Aimed At Limiting Use
By The Huffington Post News Editors
By Susan Guyett
INDIANAPOLIS, April 2 (Reuters) – The Indiana House on Tuesday approved a bill requiring clinics that administer the so-called abortion pill to also have full surgical facilities, a move that would force Planned Parenthood to halt all abortion services at a central Indiana clinic.
Supporters say the bill protects women’s health, but the president of Planned Parenthood of Indiana called the facility mandates for early-term abortions “regulation without reason.”
The Senate has adopted a similar measure and would need to agree to some changes in wording before the bill is sent to Republican Governor Mike Pence for his signature.
Under the bill, Planned Parenthood of Indiana would have to upgrade its clinic in Lafayette to surgical standards or stop administering RU-486 to end early term pregnancy, President Betty Cockrum said.
Planned Parenthood of Indiana runs four of the 10 clinics in Indiana that offer abortion services, Cockrum said. The clinic in Lafayette does not perform surgical abortions and will stay open for other health services if the measure becomes law and takes effect in January 2014, she said.
“This is a very emotionally charged issue and I want you to understand that from the beginning my intent was to seek out a remedy to safeguard our young women who have chosen this path,” said Republican state Representative Sharon Negele, who sponsored the bill.
The two-pill abortion medication called RU-486 has been legally available in the United States since 2000. By 2008 it accounted for about one-fourth of U.S. abortions performed before nine weeks of gestation, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports the right to abortion.
As approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the drugs are dispensed by prescription directly from a physician. They are not available in pharmacies. The medication is generally prescribed for ending pregnancies of less than eight weeks.
Democratic state Representative Linda Lawson, who opposed the bill, said there’s “not one person in this room that is pro-abortion” and asked rhetorically why lawmakers did not talk …read more

Are You Too Busy To Stand Up For The Republic?
By Tim Powers
While most Americans are absorbed in their own lives (whether it be trying to make sure they can provide for their families, having a hobby, or just plain watching TV), one thing stands clear. Our Republic is being stolen right out from under our noses. Some have realized this, but some are still asleep.
Allow me to simplify this if you will. What good will just sitting around watching baseball be when there isn’t any more of it because the UN using “sustainable development” (Agenda 21) has decided that the ball field must be returned to the wilderness of nature? Don’t believe me? Look up “sustainable development.” Or how about watching NASCAR, where the motto is “Go fast, Turn left”? Well, isn’t that what our communist/Muslim brotherhood plant Barack Hussein Obama is doing to the United States as we speak? Do your own research. Trust me, you won’t have to look far.
Or maybe you find yourself absorbed in watching MTV’s “Teen Mom” show. Well, I guess that is better than standing in front of an abortion clinic advocating for a mother’s rights while a Planned Parenthood doctor commits infanticide. Well, we must not forget about American Idol, where it would seem that half of America has made the Obamas theirs.
My point is this: unless we all become educated as to the things that our own government and the United Nations are trying to pull on us, we are facing a loss of freedom for not only us, but for our offspring for generations to come. How would you feel if your grandchild comes to you one day and asks you what Freedom and Liberty were like in America? Would you know how to answer them? Would you even try to answer them knowing that there were things that you could do NOW?
It’s time to wake up America: educate yourselves and take a stand for the generations to come. We are the last line of defense; and if we fail, there clearly is no turning back. As always, my fellow Patriots, stay safe and be aware of your surroundings.

Planned Parenthood rep raises eyebrows in testimony on bill protecting babies born after botched abortions
A representative from Planned Parenthood is raising some eyebrows for her response to questioning on Florida legislation that would require baby’s born alive during a botched abortion to receive medical care.
N.D. Governor Signs Nation’s Strictest Abortion Laws
North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed bills Tuesday making the state’s abortion laws the nation’s most restrictive and setting the stage for what he called a U.S. Supreme Court challenge of “the boundaries of Roe v. Wade.”
The bills bar abortions if a fetal heartbeat is heard, which can be six weeks into a pregnancy; ban abortions prompted by genetic defects; and require abortion doctors to have hospital admitting privileges. They become law Aug. 1 unless a court blocks them.
North Dakota residents will vote in 2014 on a ballot measure that defines life as starting at conception.
Paul Maloney of North Dakota Right to Life calls Tuesday “a landmark day.” Sarah Stoesz of Planned Parenthood in Minnesota and the Dakotas says Dalrymple, “with one swipe of his pen … severely compromised” women’s health.
Dalrymple, a Republican, said the likelihood of the fetal heartbeat bill surviving a court challenge “remains in question” and asked the Legislature to create a legal fund.

The Audacity Of Incompetency, Insecurity, And Non-Transparency
There is a reason the American people don’t want to relinquish their guns.
There is a reason why the American people fear their constitutional rights are in jeopardy.
There is a reason why the American people fear their quality of life and the future of their country is at risk.
The reasons are numerous, but it all comes down to one dismal reality: The American people do not trust this administration!
An administration immune to criticism and accountability (in conjunction with a complicit mainstream media that refuses to objectively and critically cover events and developments that may place this president in a bad light) is producing a climate of fear and paranoia across the nation. Unfortunately, at least half the population is either too indifferent or too enamored with the current administration to care.
Tragically, the lies, the scandals, the controversies, and the incompetencies are occurring at an alarming rate. The official response following the terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi is a prime example of the politically motivated lies and deceptions promulgated by this administration (and recited verbatim by a biased media that may as well be on the government payroll).
The Obama administration repeatedly told the American people that the Benghazi attack was a spontaneous response to an offensive video posted on You Tube. Now we know this was a planned terrorist attack on ’9-11-12′ against our embassy in Libya. Increased security requests made by U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens (who was killed in the attack) fell on deaf ears, and
the identities of the survivors have yet to be disclosed. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was finally granted permission to meet with a few of the survivors, and he reports that these survivors are fearful of speaking out (as they were told by the government to keep silent) regarding the events of that tragic day.
This administration recklessly placed politics before responsible leadership as they strategically fostered and enabled a failed foreign policy to become just another critical public exemption leading into the most important presidential election of our lifetime.
Many other disconcerting examples of ‘truth spinning’ abound that support the utter lack of transparency by which this administration operates. Some of the most troubling fabrications offered by our Commander in Chief include: the costs and conditions of government-sponsored healthcare, the administration’s hand in the sequester, the promotion of decreases in government spending and debt reduction, and the extent of government-funded health services provided by Planned Parenthood (specifically the lie that PP provides mammograms).
More troubling are the recent special reports detailing the curious decisions (a few via executive order) that seem to pit the government against its own people, including:
• The creation of a civilian ‘national security’ force.
• A drone program with the authority to strike down U.S. citizens.
• Proposed expansions to domestic spying in the form of personal bank account accessibility granted to multiple intelligence agencies without just cause.
• The purchase of unprecedented amounts of ammunition (and armored vehicles) by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and various other …read more

Planned Parenthood Patient Torture Leads To Huge Lawsuit
Planned Parenthood receives around $540 million a year of taxpayer money. Supposedly, the majority of those funds are to be used for family-planning and women’s health, but Alliance Defending Freedom believes their primary focus is meeting their ever increasing quota of abortions. In fact, they are so focused on meeting their abortion quotas that they are placing the health and lives of the women who turn to them in jeopardy.
One of the main arguments made in the infamous Roe v. Wade decision is that by making abortion legal, it would reduce the incidence of botched back-alley abortions. Legalizing abortion would make undergoing an abortion much safer for the woman. From the growing list of reports, it seems the only thing it’s done is move the back-alley butchers into Planned Parenthood clinics paid for with our tax dollars and into other abortion clinics around the country.
Now we need to add Ayanna Byer to the list of women who have been tortured and nearly died as a result of a botched abortion and inferior medical treatment and according to their website:
“Alliance Defending Freedom is moving on a broad legal front to expose the true nature and fraudulent business practices of Planned Parenthood.”
Byer, 40, went to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs to have an abortion. The staff promised her that she would have an IV anesthesia, but when they were unable to find the equipment, Byer changed her mind about getting the abortion. Undaunted by the minor setback, the staff at the clinic decided to proceed with the abortion without providing any anesthesia to Byer even though Byer continued to protest against it.
Byer lay on the table wide awake and fully aware of everything happening around her and inside of her. She said the procedure was incredibly painful. When it was over with, the doctor sent her home.

Video: Botched Abortion Leads To Attack On Citizen Journalist
By NewsEditor
This short clip shows the power of Citizen Journalism. Every person with a smart phone can report the news as it happens. We here at The Western Center for Journalism rely on citizen journalists to help us report the news hidden from view by the Obama loving left-wing media.
In this report we see the results of a botched abortion. Planned Parenthood performs abortion surgery in unsafe facilities with non doctors many times performing the operation. The results can be deadly.
Gun Control, Hollywood, And Violent Ignorance
They sure won’t be backing off the push for gun control in America anytime soon, but legislative efforts and proposals to curb gun use ignore the nonstop violence promoted by the entertainment industry.
A majority of American adults, 80%, agree with the statement that “violent games and films contribute to violence in society.” That’s according to a brand new Vanity Fair/60 Minutes nationwide poll. Of those respondents, 45% believe those media contribute a lot to societal violence, while 35% believe it contributes “some.”
Massive evidence is available, and countless studies prove the effects of simulated violence on all consumers, but especially on children. Why is Hollywood pardoned for the carnage its product constantly produces? It’s difficult to confront Hollywood decision-makers and hold them accountable when they’re helping get you reelected.
In a 2013 study, the Culture and Media Institute found that in the Top 5 movies – in just one weekend – the tally included 65 scenes depicting violence, 185 people killed, shot, stabbed, beaten, burned, blown up, etc. Hollywood supporters talk about gun control but are unwilling to address the issue with the entertainment industry.
Meanwhile, Hollywood continues producing the most violent, sadistic movies, television programs, and morbid video games that glorify graphic violence and mayhem. Our culture has been desensitized, similar to the blood-thirsty crowds in the Roman Coliseum thousands of years ago being entertained by human slaughter. One difference is we’re exposed to more violence and death than they could have imagined.
But if this was part of the problem, people would address it honestly – wouldn’t they?
Just a few days ago, California Senator Dianne Feinstein made another plea to ban assault weapons in one of her greatest hits as far as quotes go. Feinstein stated:
We have federal regulations and state laws that prohibit hunting ducks with more than three rounds. And yet it’s legal to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines. Limiting magazine capacity is critical, because it is when a criminal, a drug dealer, a deranged individual has to pause to change magazines and reload that, the police or brave bystanders have the opportunity to take that individual down.
The heart of the problem today doesn’t lie with the instruments and tools of violence. We can’t outlaw hammers, shovels, knives, and rope, for example. To ban them would not stop evil because evil always finds another method. The Bible teaches that the heart of man is deceitful and desperately wicked, (Jer. 17:9), and America has all but abandoned God.
It’s no wonder we continue to fill Planned Parenthood dumpsters; too many Americans value choice (self) more than they value life.
George Washington, among others, emphasized religion and morality as primary foundations for a free, successful society. This is what the American way relies upon; and the more God is removed, the less morality we will have. Our Founding Fathers believed it would be unpatriotic to remove God from the public square.
In the 1960’s, the Left increased their efforts targeting American classrooms, courtrooms, newsrooms, Hollywood, …read more

Christian Speaker Kicked Off Florida School Property
By Kevin Banet
School Official Heard Claiming Constitutional Rights Don’t Apply
For a lot of high school students, the Constitution is about as dry a subject as you can get. But not for some kids in Boca Raton, FL.
Students at the Spanish River High School in this Miami suburb show an interest in Constitutional rights — especially when they are taken away right under their noses. Members of the American Club there were surprised that Christian speaker/musician Bradlee Dean was kicked off of their school’s property over Dean’s conservative views, even though Dean had been invited weeks before under the approval of the school’s administration.
“I was surprised that a teacher … or someone who worked at the school, was telling the students that we’re not supposed to uphold the Constitutional values given by our Founding Fathers while on school property,” a student said after Dean was kicked off school property. The student’s comments are recorded on a YouTube video chronicling the incident:
Exiled to the roadside
This is the kind of student most teachers want — someone who is passionately interested in the subject. The other students in the club were no doubt just as fascinated, as they sat on the grass afterwards just off the school property to hear Dean’s talk.
But Dean’s talk was too politically incorrect, in the eyes of Principal William Latson and his cohorts at Spanish River. Latson ignored the fact that Dean had been invited by the school’s club (which has invited other conservative speakers, including entertainer Victoria Jackson) and that Dean’s appearance was approved and announced on the school’s PA system that week.
“Controversial” and “Anti-Homosexuality”
Halfway through the event, it was shut down by the principal, who cited “controversial statements” and the “anti-homosexuality” of Dean’s group “Sons of Liberty.” (Disclosure: Sons of Liberty is a client of our firm, TreeFrogClick.) One official told the group that the Constitution “does not apply to school property,” and that neither the Club nor the speakers had any First Amendment rights.
What? The Constitution does not apply to public school property, and First Amendment rights are squashed? Sounds like these school officials have put their institution in the same category as a prison, or a school in a communist country.
And anyone who believes in traditional morality, such that homosexual acts are inherently disordered — runs the risk of being trotted off school grounds.
Dismantle Beliefs
To make it clear, America, most public schools — or should I say government schools — are doing their utmost to dismantle students’ beliefs that families should be led by a mom and dad, and not by two men or two women who are sexually involved with one another. If you aren’t sure what’s going on, find out what kind of sex education, field trips to Planned Parenthood, and “anti-bullying” programs that are a mask for the homosexual agenda are going on at your school.
Dean and his group did not play dead over the eviction but got ahold of their lawyers, who have threatened an injunction and …read more

NAACP Sues For Uncovering Its Ties With Abortion
The NAACP has threatened to sue the Radiance Foundation for trademark infringement. The Radiance Foundation has responded by filing a suit of its own and is waiting for an answer.
The NAACP is upset because the Radiance Foundation has publicly revealed the former civil rights organization’s support for abortion and close ties with Planned Parenthood. Foundation founder Ryan Bomberger tells OneNewsNow the NAACP has threatened to sue them unless they remove every reference to their name and seal. However, those items are things the media and other organizations commonly use in stories or in issuing press releases.
“They’re particularly irked by the fact that we have given them, satirically, the name of the ‘National Association for the Abortion of Colored People,’” he explains. “That has apparently pushed them over the line.”

‘All Life Is Not Equal’
By Matt Barber
First, on a personal note: Thank you, thank you and thank you, Mary Elizabeth Williams! What a glorious service you’ve done the pro-life cause. I know, that’s not what you intended. But that’s precisely what you’ve accomplished.
Did I say thank you?
In her jaw-dropping article “So what if abortion ends life?”, Williams – a mainstream, though uncharacteristically honest pro-abort scribe for Salon.com – has inexplicably broken from the Orwellian left’s ministerial script. In so doing, she’s severely undermined the very cause for which she would gladly “sacrifice” (dismember alive, that is) her very own daughter. A daughter, mind you, whom she coldly acknowledges to be “a human life.”
But enough with the pleasantries.
In his 1925 manifesto “Mein Kampf,” Adolf Hitler wrote: “Here’s the complicated reality in which we live: All life is not equal.” Though technically a human life, “the parasitic Jew is a human life without having the same rights as the Aryan.”
“Mother Germany is the boss,” he declared. “Her life and what is right for her circumstances and her health should automatically trump the rights of the non-autonomous Jew. Always.”
Ha! Just kidding. Actually, Ms. Williams wrote those things. She wrote them, not from Nazi Germany in 1925, but rather from America. Wednesday.
She wrote them, not about the Jewish people, but instead about the most vulnerable of all people: the child in her mother’s womb. (A holocaust by any other name …)
Yes, welcome to Feminist Funland, where the women are randy and the children are dead. In “So what if abortion ends life?” (I just love writing that), Williams, like some unintentionally creepy clown, guides us through the “pro-choice” house of mirrors, revealing with crystal clarity the true horror behind the left’s distorted reflections.
“While opponents of abortion eagerly describe themselves as ‘pro-life,’” she writes, “the rest of us have had to scramble around with not nearly as big-ticket words like ‘choice’ and ‘reproductive freedom.’”
Here, Ms. Williams essentially admits what the life community has said for decades – that the euphemistic language of “choice” and “reproductive freedom” long employed by the multi-billion-dollar abortion industry is exactly that; euphemism – propaganda.
In so many words, she goes on to acknowledge that, rather than “pro-choice,” “pro-death” is indeed the appropriate moniker for her movement. “Yet I know that throughout my own pregnancies, I never wavered for a moment in the belief that I was carrying a human life inside of me. I believe that’s what a fetus is: a human life. And that doesn’t make me one iota less solidly pro-choice,” she proclaims.
Nice. Wonder how many of the little Williams babies made the cut.
But the money line? “Here’s the complicated reality in which we live,” she declares. “All life is not equal.”
Get that, Thomas Jefferson? “All life is not equal.” Put that in your self-evident-truth-pipe and smoke it. We clear, MLK? Wrap that “I have a dream” up in a big wad of “All life is not equal” and get to the back of the Birmingham bus.
Indeed, Ms. Williams is a militant feminist, and that’s adorable; but her line of reasoning here is anything but fresh and cute. It stems from the utilitarian rotgut Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger poured down the gullet of her power-drunk eugenicist fans – foremost of whom was the hypertensive fuhrer himself.
Still, to be fair, I’ll let Ms. Williams speak for herself: “Yet a fetus can be a human life without having the same rights as the woman in whose body it resides,” she finds. “She’s the boss. Her life and what is right for her circumstances and her health should automatically trump the rights of the non-autonomous entity inside of her. Always.”
In other words: “Me no likey? You die.” Or, as Hitler really did say: “We shall regain our health only by eliminating the Jew.” Old Adolf, of course, defined “health” to mean exactly what feminists mean by it. “Health: Any reason at all.”
Maybe I’ve been at this too long, but I love it when liberals mistake sociopathy for conviction – candor for courage. I revel in those rare moments when left-wing extremists, nestled warm inside the foul bowels of their “progressive” echo chamber, pull back the wizard’s curtain just far enough to expose, if only for an instant, the wicked sty in which they roll, splash, and play.
Like this gem: “If by some random fluke I learned today I was pregnant,” Williams boasts, “you bet you’re a-s I’d have an abortion. I’d have the World’s Greatest Abortion. … I still need to acknowledge my conviction that the fetus is indeed a life. A life worth sacrificing.”
“The World’s Greatest Abortion.”
“A life worth sacrificing.”
