Equal Access : A PFOX Request

“This is not just a conservative issue. Liberals, too, believe in human rights. This is a broader human rights issue, because people have the right to make their own decisons about their personal life — to stay in homosexuality, or to change.”

— Arthur Goldberg of JONAH (Jews Offering New Alternatives to Homosexuality)

Is your job or school holding a gay pride/diversity/tolerance activity? If so, would you request that they also hold an ex-gay event or include an ex-gay speaker? If your school or work sponsors a gay event or speaker, then it should also provide equal access to other sexual orientations, including ex-gays. PFOX (Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays) will help you by providing a speaker and informative handouts for the ex-gay event.

At a time when former homosexuals face increasing intolerance, ex-gay presentations are more important than ever for others to recognize and appreciate the ex-gay community. Equal access by ex-gays supports sexual orientation diversity and tolerance.

Ask your job or school to sponsor an ex-gay event or speaker today! Below is a sample email PFOX sent to one place (U.S. Dept. of Agriculture — USDA) which celebrated a gay pride event last month:

_______________

We are Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX), a non-profit organization serving families and the ex-gay community.

In your celebration of Gay and Lesbian Pride month, please consider inviting an ex-gay speaker to address one of your events. In a December 8, 2005 letter to PFOX, the Director of the USDA Office of Civil Rights affirmed that ex-gays are included in the Department of Agriculture’s non-discrimination policies. We urge you to include positive portrayals of ex-gays in your events for next year, thereby enabling former homosexuals to be open and honest about their lives in the workplace. PFOX can assist you with speakers, brochures, and handouts.

We look forward to your response. Thank you for your work as civil servants on behalf of the American people.

Sincerely,

Regina Griggs

Critical Primary Campaign of Kansas Prosecutor Phill Kline

Re-Election Necessary to Keep Planned Parenthood Case Alive – Asks Pro-Life Movement For Support

Kansas district attorney Phill Kline is fighting a critical primary challenge on August 5 that threatens his efforts to prosecute the only criminal case ever filed against the abortion giant Planned Parenthood in the United States and is asking pro-life advocates to join in his re-election fight.

Phill Kline’s case against Planned Parenthood has the potential of causing the billion dollar abortion giant to lose the $350 million dollars it receives from the federal government under Title X funds.

“He is up for reelection, and if he does not get past this August 5th primary, the candidate he is running against will not carry forward this criminal case,” said Jenn Giroux, Kline’s campaign manager.

Kline faces a stiff challenge from moderate Republican Steve Howe, who with other establishment party figures attempted to dissuade Kline from running for re-election.

Giroux spoke with LifeSiteNews and explained that Planned Parenthood has managed to delay trial for nine months since Kline charged them with 107 criminal counts – 23 felonies and 84 misdemeanors – for unlawful late-term abortions and other abortion-related crimes on October 16, 2007.

Kline’s evidence comes from subpoenaed medical records that indicate that Planned Parenthood in Johnson County willfully neglected to report instances of child rape, forged viability reports, and performed illegal late-term abortions.

The abortion giant has been hoping to wait out the clock on Kline’s term as District Attorney, just as they did when he was the Attorney General. However, if Kline defeats his primary opponent, and then goes on to win the general election, Planned Parenthood will have to face trial.

“If he does not win on August 5, this only criminal case in the country will go away forever,” Giroux stated.

Giroux said Kline’s battle for reelection is entering a critical phase and the campaign is trying to recruit 6,000 individuals or families to donate $50 each to raise $300,000 by July 22 – two weeks from the August 5 primary showdown. Giroux said the money is needed so the campaign can pay for and produce advertising on television, radio, and mail, and get maximum exposure time with the voters. The advertising will help Kline overcome the bias of the Kansas City Star, which is a fierce opponent of the Johnson County DA.

The Kline campaign has set up a website for this purpose called “StandWithPhill,” featuring a video explaining why Kline’s reelection is pivotal to the success of the pro-life movement and such an incredible threat to the abortion hegemon Planned Parenthood. (see http://www.standwithphill.com/)

“More importantly than anything Planned Parenthood is not going to be rewarded for their delay tactics that they hoped would get Phil Kline to leave office and the next prosecutor to drop this case and then they would be off scot-free.”

Giroux stated that Kline’s recent straw poll victory in a conservative part of the county has the campaign feeling very good about the primary; but the fight will be close as they make the final push to get out the word.

“It’s very close, but Phill Kline has 98% name recognition,” Giroux said. “The primary we feel very good about. It’s all about turning out his base.”

Early this July, Kline garnered the endorsement of Focus on the Family founder James Dobson. Dobson said he was speaking as an individual and rarely gave out endorsements, but said, “It is imperative that he win this contest.”

He continued, “Defeating Mr. Kline has become a national priority for the abortion industry, which funneled millions of dollars to Kansas for the purpose of demonizing him in the liberal media and ending his term as Attorney General.”

“If he is to successfully uphold the moral values that you and I and millions of Americans hold dear, particularly with respect to his battle against late-term abortion in Kansas, we must support his re-election campaign.”

PFOX Exposes Dangers Of Self-Identifying As ‘Gay’ Before Maturity

The Washington Post recently ran a sympathetic article about a 15-year-old boy named Saro who described his homosexual feelings and how Gay Straight Alliance student clubs help such gay teens to deal with discrimination and bullying in high school and middle school.

“What the article failed to describe,” said PFOX Executive Director Regina Griggs, “is the danger of young sexually confused teens self-identifying as gays at an early age. Research has shown that the risk of suicide decreases by 20% each year that a person delays homosexual or bisexual self-labeling.* Early self-identification is dangerous to kids.

“Schools should not be encouraging teens to self-identify as gays, bisexuals or transgendered persons before they have matured. Sexual attractions are fluid and do not take on permanence until early adulthood. Rather than affirming teenagers as ‘gay’ through self-labeling, educators should affirm them as people worthy of respect and encourage teens to wait until adulthood before making choices about their sexuality. If teens are encouraged to believe that they are permanently ‘gay’ before they have had a chance to reach adulthood, their life choices are severely restricted and can result in depression.”

Ex-Gay Viewpoint Suppressed

Griggs also notes that schools with Gay Straight Alliance clubs are notorious for suppressing ex-gay organizations or individuals supporting tolerance for the ex-gay community. “GSA clubs and their teacher sponsors make schools unsafe for anyone who has rejected the ‘gay’ label in their lives or who believes in ex-gay equal rights. Our efforts to reach all students are typically met with hostility and violence. Time after time, we have faced hostile gay students and teachers ripping up our ex-gay materials or demanding that we be banned from distributing our materials on campuses.”

The National Education Association’s Ex-Gay Educators Caucus recommends diversity and inclusion of the ex-gay viewpoint in public schools, but this is seldom the case, according to Griggs. “What we find is that Gay Straight Alliance leaders and their school officials routinely suppress the ex-gay viewpoint and bully into silence anyone who dares to speak up for ex-gay equality and tolerance. If schools truly cared about diversity, they would include the diversity of the ex-gay community. Former homosexuals and their supporters should have the same kind of access to public schools that GSA clubs currently enjoy.”

Griggs concludes: “Article such as the one in the Post fail to tell both sides of the bullying debate and endanger the lives of sexually confused and troubled youth who should be discouraged from self-labeling as gay, bisexual or transgendered.”

President Bush and Senator McCain Address National Right to Life Conference

by Tim Waggoner

During yesterday’s National Right to Life Conference, President George Bush and Republican presidential candidate John McCain gave video addresses to the audience, in which they expressed their support for the unborn’s inherent right to life and their unity with the country’s pro-life movement.

LifeNews.com reports that after thanking the audience for their “commitment to protecting the unborn,” the President exclaimed, “The nation’s Declaration of Independence exists to give the right to life to the unborn.”

“I have proudly stood with you to make sure this nation stands up for this noble promise,” continued Bush, joining himself with the crowd. “For eight years we have stood together to defend the principle that every human life has value.”

Bush told viewers that he has also fought to keep taxpayers’ dollars from funding abortions and reminded them that he had signed the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, which “allows prosecutors to charge those who harm a pregnant woman and who harm or kill her unborn child as well.”

The President then described the importance of the Born Alive Infants Protection act, which forces health care facilities to protect those babies who have survived botched abortions. He also told viewers that he had teamed up with pro-life activists to ensure partial-birth abortion was banned.

The President went on to advocate stem-cell research, provided it does not terminate human life.

“We have embraced the healing potential of stem cell research but made sure federal research is conducted within ethical limits and clear boundaries without destroying human life,” Bush said.

“I look forward to working with you to reach the day when every child is welcomed into life and protected in law,” he concluded.

According to LifeNews, Republican presidential candidate John McCain told viewers that the right to life is the most fundamental right upon which all other rights stand.

“More than 200 years ago out nation’s founder declared that we are endowed with certain inalienable rights and among these is the right to life,” McCain explained. “It was no accident that they cited life as the first and most basic right. Without recognition of the right to life, we are not guaranteed any other rights.”

“I have been pro-life my entire public career and I am pro-life because I know what it’s like to live without human rights and where life is accorded no value,” said the presidential candidate.

McCain, like Bush, said he has always worked to separate taxpayers dollars from abortions and reiterated to the crowd his past pro-life initiatives, including his votes supporting the banning of partial-birth abortion and opposing Roe v. Wade.

“I will proudly defend my record defending human life during any debates on domestic and international policy,” said McCain.

“Wisdom suggests we should be willing to give an unborn child the same chance our parents gave us,” he added. “We can’t fail to respect the inherent dignity of all human life, born or unborn.”

McCain then issued a strong statement to America’s leaders and future leaders: “The most important duty of our national leaders is to protect human life and you need only to examine my public record to know I won’t change my position.”

The presidential candidate also reminded viewers that his pro-life stance makes him neither politically popular nor wealthy.

“Unborn children don’t have the same vote or voice and can’t reward you with donations,” he said.

Appealing to the future aspirations of the crowd to re-criminalize abortion, McCain spoke on the importance of the Supreme Court “to return to their proper role.”

“I will appoint Supreme Court nominees who have a proven record of excellence in the law and a proven commitment to strictly interpreting the Constitution,” he said.

McCain widened his focus to encompass all those at risk from the culture of death, saying America needs to “protect the lives of the most vulnerable whether they are unborn, the elderly or disabled.”

“I am proud to stand with you to defend the sanctity of human life,” concluded McCain. “Thank you for your commitment to a cause that is greater than us all – protecting human life and women and children wherever they need our support.”

A NeW Kind of Choice

by Rachel Paulk

Radical feminists have been hard at work for decades stressing the importance of women choosing career paths over homemaking, corner offices instead of kitchens, and power suits to replace aprons. To a certain extent, their message has been accepted and assimilated into mainstream society.

The U.S. Department of Labor reported in 2007 that “A record 68 million women were employed in the U.S.—75% of employed women worked on full-time jobs, while 25% worked on a part-time basis” and “Women accounted for 51% of all workers in the high-paying management, professional, and related occupations.” Yet a new movement of women is rising up with an age-old message countering the feminist focus on careers before kids. Though they recognize a woman’s choice between the corporation and kitchen, these women unapologetically choose domesticity.

At the forefront of the fight against radical feminism, the Network of Enlightened Women (NeW) seeks to emphasize the value of motherhood in response to their perception of its degraded worth per the feminist focus on careers. Karin Agness, founder of the 4-year-old organization, stated the following at their National Conference on June 27:

“In the 20th century, women have made great gains, but unfortunately the feminists have taken it too far to one extreme. They’ve opened the door to careers for many women, but relegated those women who choose motherhood and family to second-class citizenship. Rather than giving women a choice, they’ve made the choice for us…”

She continued,

“In NeW we are culturally conservative young women; we embrace our femininity, we embrace modesty. We recognize that there are differences between the sexes, and rather then measure a woman’s self worth solely by her career and what she does outside the home, we recognize the value of motherhood.”

Boasting speakers such as authors Danielle Crittenden and Dr. Christina Hoff Sommers, NeW’s events focus on topical women’s issues, as the organization aims to illuminate women’s choice of social roles and to eliminate cultural expectations of success as built by the feminist movement. NeW was born as a book club for conservative women in college, reading and discussing books such as “Who Stole Feminism?” and “What Women Really Want.” The club’s more controversial coverage began when members began to challenge the ever-divisive Vagina Monologues, performed across college campuses annually to raise awareness about violence against women. Protesting the play as vulgar and self-defeating, the conservative group’s clash with Eve Ensler’s staunchly-feminist play gained the attention of liberal women’s groups nationwide.

Today women are faced with a choice between career and family, feminism and NeW. Where the new generation of rising women will find their self-worth remains to be seen.

Ohio Ret. Lt. Col. John Mitchel Ohio Congressional Campaign 2010

In a response to a previous post, John Mitchel said he planned to run again for a seat in the US House of Representatives in 2010.

John Mitchel is a retired US Air Force officer who has been building momentum in Ohio politics. Although he lost to the groomed successor of outgoing Congressman Dave Hobson, I suspect 7th District Ohio voters will become much better acquainted with Mitchel.

Mitchel put his experience as a Defense Department fraud, waste and abuse investigator to good use by exposing the financial corruption of both Hobson and Austria. This is the Halliburton kind of dealings of these politicians. The scratch my back with large sums of campaign dollars and I’ll scratch yours with multi-million dollar no-bid contract types of good-ole’ boy favors costs American taxpayers a whole lot of money. Not only did Mitchel’s research turn up these facts but also he is still fight to get public officials to investigate these substantiated allegations.

The good ole’ back scratching network maybe very large indeed.

Mitchel is already showing Ohioans he actually represents their interests in fair, ethical, legal, and honest financial interests. It should be remembered that pork barrel spending is a big part of the largest annual bill Congress ever passes, which is the federal budget and its huge multifaceted appropriation bill (some would say bills).

I have not yet read Mitchel’s book titled “America at the Abyss.” If I’m not mistaken, it lays out other problems important to Ohio voters and his views and strategies to solving them.

The importance of the traditional family is an issue growing in importance everyday. With or without a recession, Americans need representatives who are actually honest fighters for the people that elect them rather than corporate or other interests. We need fiscal conservatives who will not only balance the federal budget but also work to reduce federal spending. In other words, representatives who will bring down the federal budget by putting more money back into the pockets of constituents and their local communities and states. John Mitchel may be that kind of candidate.

What is certain is Mitchel’s stated position on the important issues affecting the family and its future. Mitchel, who has been married for 36 years, states:

My leadership philosophy fits hand in glove with our approach to parenting. If you asked any one of our children three rules to live by, they would probably say, “Do the right thing, do the best you can, and treat others as you would like to be treated.” I believe these values hold the key to renewal in America. I am firmly pro-life. I oppose using federal tax dollars to finance research on any emerging technologies, except those that have a meaningful relationship to national defense. I oppose government-ratified same-sex marriage, but I support the right of private corporations to offer benefits to their employees as they see fit. I defend the rights of individuals to live their private lives without government interference as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others in the process.

John Mitchel certainly supports family values.

Yet, having read his views, I wonder what are his position on religion and Separation of Church and State. Legal history shows Separation is the creation of liberals rather than either the Founders or succeeding Congresses. Our political and social division (culture war) is largely legitimized the alleged wall of Separation by the federal judicial system. Liberals on both sides of bench used Separation as the wedge to separate moral or natural laws and values from law and social institutions. By doing so, they have been able to destroy the moral basis of law pertaining to sexual relations, i.e., family relations. To solve the problems of divorce, teen pregnancy, unwed parenting, abortion, and many other sex related problems, those who will claim to represent us must address this issue.

I challenge John Mitchel to do so.

Protesting smut opera: the Jerry Springer production

You don’t have to be Catholic to detest production like Jerry Springer–The Opera in Concert. It is as despicable as the Springer show–maybe worse if that’s possible. That should make its anti-Christian, anti-moral, anti-decency content offensive to just about every parent, moral, and religious person everywhere.

I learned about this productions continued showing in America from the The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property. TFP was born as counter-revolutionary mission by a group of Catholic Americans concerned about the multiple crises shaking every aspect of American life. American TFP was formed in 1973 to resist, in the realm of ideas, the liberal, socialist and communist trends of the times and proudly affirm the positive values of tradition, family and property. They seek to defend, maintain, and restore our Christian civilization.

In a recent article titled When Opera Is Offensive: Protesting a Jerry Springer Production, American TFP outlined a few examples of the offense features that the “opera” includes:

• The crucifixion is mocked and the Eucharist is trashed.

 

• There is a lady singing “Jerry eleison” (mocking the Mass: Kyrie Eleison).

 

• Jesus is introduced as “the hypocrite son of the fascist tyrant on high.” He wears a diaper, is fat and effeminate and later admits: “Actually, I am a bit gay.”

 

• Eve gropes Jesus in a manner too indecent to describe while the Annunciation is described as a rape.

 

• God is a fat man in a white suit who complains about being blamed for everyone’s problems. He invites Jerry Springer to join Him to “sit in Heaven beside me, hold my hand and guide me.” At the end, Jerry emerges as the true savior of mankind.

 

The American TFP protests such an indecent portrayal and finds objectionable the fact that God and Christ are made to say the most filthy and absurd things. The profanity-laced production considers nothing sacred.

The “opera” has earned its blasphemous reputation. In London, the debut was the subject of a libel suit for defaming Christians. When it was to be aired on the BBC, it drew more than 60,000 complaints, according to TFP.

In America, TFP and supporters have already been active in protesting this production. “Hundreds of people were out for opening night at Carnegie Hall in New York last January.” Since they learned of the plan to put on the show in Cincinnati, the Cincinnati theater has admitted having received 14,000 letters from TFP supporters protesting the show.

In face of such insults to the Faith, Christians cannot remain silent. Other people of religious and moral conviction cannot remain silent either for the simple reason that their beliefs and moral values will be attacked next. That is why the TFP is asking us to make our voices heard by sending an e-protest which will be forwarded to both theaters automatically. Please attend the public act of reparation at the New Stage Collective in Cincinnati! (To do so, go here.)

New Youth Convention Threatens to Promote Homosexuality, Abortion

By Piero A. Tozzi

(C-FAM June 19. 2008) With the recent addition of Bolivia, seven counties have now ratified a treaty called the Ibero-American Convention on the Rights of Youth (ICRY), a document that worries Latin American social conservatives for its not-so-veiled promotion of radical social policies. The document includes references to “sexual and reproductive health” as well as “sexual orientation.”

Representatives from 14 Latin countries and the two major Iberian nations, Spain and Portugal, signed the Convention in Badajoz, Spain, in October 2005. The Organización Iberoamericana de Juventud (OIJ) spearheaded the drafting of the ICRY, with backing from the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, and Spain’s socialist government.

In accordance with its provisions, the treaty went into effect on March 1 after Costa Rica became the fifth country to adopt the document. In addition to Costa Rica, the other countries that have formally ratified the ICRY are Bolivia, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Spain, and Uruguay.

The Convention has met some resistance, however. The Peruvian Congress rejected the treaty over concerns that “sexual orientation” language was a backdoor attempt to soften resistance to homosexual “marriage.” Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, El Salvador and Andorra have thus far refrained from signing ICRY, and Mexican pro-family groups are running a campaign urging Mexican President Felipe Calderón that the government not ratify it.

The Madrid Declaration, a separate document issued in November 2005 to promote “sexual and reproductive health rights” signed by the OIJ, specifically referenced implementing ICRY’s sexual education provision. Article 23 of the ICRY states that sex education will be imparted at “all educational levels,” oriented “to full acceptance and identity [of sexuality], as well as the prevention of sexually-transmitted diseases.”

Latin American pro-lifers are wary of inclusion of a right to “sexual and reproductive health.” The term has been used by UN agencies and powerful non-governmental organizations as a stalking horse for promoting abortion, even though no international treaty has defined reproductive health synonymously with abortion.

Under the ICRY, countries are required to report every two years to OIJ’s Secretary General. There is, however, no formal compliance monitoring mechanism, and ICRY’s juridical scope is not clearly defined. Supporters nevertheless see it as a “legal tool” for young people whose rights under the Convention have been breached. On the eve of the Convention’s entry into force, Costa Rica’s ambassador to Spain, Melvin Alfredo Saenz, reportedly told OIJ’s Secretary General Eugenio Ravinet Muñoz that his nation was fulfilling both an “ethical obligation” and a “juridical duty” in ratifying the ICRY.

An upcoming July Andean region youth and human rights gathering in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, sponsored by the Comisión Andina de Juristas and the Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional, is expected to focus on how to utilize ICRY as a juridical instrument. According to the Inter-American Development Bank, representatives from government, civil society and academia will obtain specialized training in human rights implementation using the ICRY.

—————————————————-

It’s true–the United Nations doesn’t promote abortion on demand. They just mandated it. Their many followers are leading the unborn lambs of their people to the slaughter. Seeing that Jesus died and rose again. I still suspect He will soon answer those that hate Him and love so much convenience killing. When he does, the nations, if not the world, will never be the same.

The underlying problem of many religious people wooed into believing the secular lies and lifestyles is the lack of understanding the rule of law. Jesus death was not about grace as much as it was the complete satisfaction of God legal justice. God grace cannot exist without the total satisfaction of the divine moral law. Just as the penalty for crime is never forgiveness, so too the penalty for sin or moral crime is always and everywhere capital punishment. Murders are never acquitted until tried and found not guilty. Moral crime is never acquitted without the death of the criminal or a willing sinless substitute–Jesus is the one and only. Secularists mock God and his law, but God will mock them with legal fairness and equality of justice by the truth.

It may not seem that God’s judgment is beginning to be executed but I believe it is. Consider what the gospels record about the times before the final judgment: it will be like in the days of Noah and of Lot.
Noah’s day was on of violence and indifference to God. Lot lived in a multicultural and tolerant culture where homosexuality and heterosexuality coexisted as normative. Yet, the gays attempted to defile holy angels that visited it, which means the end-game of sexual politics–justification of all immorality– seeks to destroy all morality and moral purity. That is what U.N. and all other secularists are all about.

If Latin American youth want freedom, a good and healthy life, and freedom, they will eliminate the sexual politics of immorality from their law and culture.

State-based drug abuse of foster care children

Although based on a 2006 CBS report, Dr. Mercola article is still worth a reading.

How can state officials and physicians justify giving children as young as 2 years old psychotropic drugs in order to control their behavior? It is difficult to image any good reason. For one argument against it is that psychotropic drugs are not approved for children. Another is diet is more likely nature cause of problem behaviors. Still another reason not mentioned by Dr. Mercola is the fact that the problem involves children taken away from parents. Wouldn’t that disorient you? Wouldn’t it make you fearful or cause dread? Could you sleep at night after experiencing the trauma of being separated from your primary care-giver–the most significant other? Is it possible that it might make you angry too? I think my emotions and behavior would be all screwed up.

So, the all-knowing and wise state (FL, OH, TX. etc.) thinks doping children into passivity is the answer. They helped the drug companies pacify kids in school with Ritalin and Prozac. They have ripped kids from their homes because some parents would not let their kids take such drugs.

I think we Americans ought to collectively force the totalitarian welfare state to get out of the business of trying to control our lives and help drug companies to destroy them. Don’t get me wrong here. Some people are helped by manufactured drugs. The modern corporate welfare state is foreign to the founder’s view of government and freedom. Its increasing abusive and destructive practices and policies are proving this fact.

I think a reasonable solution to the problem for Americans to encourage people capable of holding public office who would actually represent their interests rather than special interest groups and their lobbies. We need electible people who actually will produce change. If you believe Obama’s rhetoric, I would like to interest you in some snake oil to help make your life and our world a better place. A vote for Obama is a vote for Soros and other tycoons who careless about any of us peons.

We need people who will take on the power and moneyed interest for all of our good. We need representatives who will correct corporate near-monopoly capitalism to a real just capitalism. Notice I didn’t say socialism or welfare or global capitalism, or democratic egalitarian capitalism (if anyone would even dare to call socialist-fascist welfare by that phrase). No reason exist for most poverty in America except for greed and power lust.

You don’t believe it? Then consider this: society tends to think of the typical poor person as black. Right? Yet, statistics show a much higher percentage of blacks are long-term employed compared to whites. It stands to reason that blacks who have less income than whites though more are employed are systemically impoverished. An explanation for this phenomenon is that liberal welfare politics uses the poor for corporate wealth discrimination and for justifying the socialist-fascist totalitarian cause. How much independence or freedom is there distributed to welfare recipients? Is it the self-governing kind? Does it depend on the moral strength of discipline and doing right? Does it empower recipients to contribute to the common good? Or does help the corrupting politics corrupt society?

This much is certain it empower evil people to drug innocent because of a vampire-like political and economic system domineered by the Left who populate it.

Read Dr. Mercola’s article Drugging Children to Keep Them Quiet and/or watch the video by the same title.

California frontier of the moral battle against totalitarian gay politics

On Tuesday, June 17, the California Supreme Court’s decision to allow same-sex “marriage” takes effect and thousands of homosexual couples are expected to tie the knot this year. County clerks will be required by law to issue new gender-neutral marriage licenses.

After the California’s Supreme Court claimed gays had a constitutional right to marriage, the attorney generals of ten states requested that the Court delay finalizing its ruling to legalize same-sex marriage until after the November elections. The Supreme Court refused the request.

Organizations like California Family Council and Campaign for Children and Families also requested that the Court delay the ruling because California citizens have placed a marriage amendment on the November 4 ballot that will restrict marriages to one man and one women. To qualify for the ballot, 694,354 petition signatures were needed, but proponents of the amendment collected 1,120,801 signatures in late April.

It should not be forgotten that California went through this same issue years ago. Citizens passed law called Proposition 22 that restricted marriage to one man and one women. Apparently, California’s judges do not care about either law or the majority of citizens. They are more concerned with advancing liberal agendas.

At least some county officials, however, have stopped conducting any civil marriage ceremonies. On June 13, Virginia-based Liberty Counsel asked the 1st District Court of Appeals to temporarily prohibit all county clerks from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples until after the November election. Their decision is not yet known.

The good news is that a majority of Californians support the marriage amendment. Capitol Resource Institute conducted a national survey in which respondents were asked: Do you agree that only marriage between one man and one woman should be legal and binding in America? California answers this question “yes” 56.20%, and “no” 43.80%.

One of California’s (and America’s) problems is the liberal clergy who pretend to represent Jesus Christ and God. The bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of California issued a letter encouraging all gay couples to get a civil marriage married and then seek the Episcopal Church’s blessing. As Jesus’ apostle Paul said, Satan comes as an angel of light. I suspect the Lord of the Church will soon judge such liberals who, like Jezebel and the Nicolaitans mentioned in the Book of the Revelation, serve Satan and the politics of immorality.

The shining white lie is that Christians should not judge but loving tolerate the politics of immorality. However, scripture says to judge others according the results of their behaviors and “prophets” according to their words. Speakers for God will not contradict what He has already revealed through prior prophets, apostles, and Jesus.

Sexual politics in Argentina, an example of its global reach

(Catholic News Agency) The president of Worldwide Action of Parliamentarians and Leaders for Life and the Family, Senator Liliana Negre de Alonso, warned this week the sex-ed program approved by the Federal Education Council of Argentina violates the fundamental rights of parents.

The contents of the program violate “the constitutional right of parents to participate in the education of their children in conformity with their intimate principles and convictions, violating the private sphere of the family and with that the guarantees conferred by the Constitution and by international agreements.”

Argentina’s Federal Education Council approved a sex-ed program that will be obligatory in all schools, from elementary to high school.

Along with education to promote immorality and drive business to abortion clinics, Argentine is facing the similar onslaught of gay socialist politics. The following is Catholic News Agency‘s report:

Pedro Zerolo, a well-known homosexual activist and the executive secretary of Spain’s Socialist Party (PSOE), traveled last week to Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay—where he met with president-elect and former bishop Fernando Lugo—to promote gender ideology and the legalization of gay marriage in South America.

After meeting with Lugo, Zerolo said Spain and Paraguay would work together on issues of poverty, education, gender and climate change. Zerolo also met with feminist and homosexual groups, telling them he is hopeful Paraguay will “develop policies with a gender perspective.”

In Argentina Zerolo met with President Cristina Kirchner, encouraging her to “move into the future” by allowing the approval of a measure that would legalize gay unions and give gay couples the right to adopt children. If Kirchner gives the green light, the measure would go before the Argentinean Congress.

“The same people who didn’t want anything to change in Spain will oppose this law here. But I’m not worried about protests from the right and from the Church,” Zerolo said.

Zerolo was president in 1993 of the Gay Collective of Madrid. In 1998 he was elected president of the State Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals. He won reelection to the post in 2000 and 2002.

As a member of Spain’s Socialist party, he was one of the main supporters of the legalization of homosexual unions in Spain. He participated in various attempts to get Spain’s Congress to modify the law on gay issues.

In 2005 he legalized his union with his gay partner. In addition to working for the Socialist Party, he is a Madrid city council member and a confidant of President Jose Luis Zapatero.

The sexual politics of fascists extends beyond America. It is global. Fascists, socialists, liberals, secularists seek to replace all public morality with their unnatural and immoral forms of relational values. Family values are largely moral ones. Just as the family is the foundation of society, morality is the means to a good society. Fascist sexual politics including homosexuality is an agenda that is good only for those who hate morality. Fascist sexual practice is a crime of multitudinous dimensions: It is a crime against God’s moral law; it is a crime against societal good; it is a crime against the family; it is a crime against children; it is a crime against human nature; it is a crime against humanity. If taken to its logical conclusion, fascist sexual politics seeks to destroy society only to satisfy their bondage to their hedonism, and the gay lifestyle leads to the end of society. An honest gay lifestyle can never produce the next generation.

Of course, fascists sexual politics is more often based on deception and lies than honesty. The women involved in Roe v Wade and Jane Doe have testified before the US Congress that their abortion cases were based on fraudulent claims. Sex education was founded on fraudulent sex research by Prof. Kinsey. Gays want everyone to believe their lies about how they were born gay or that their is some sort of gay DNA.

The louder they accuse their moral opponents of hate or homophobia the more it becomes evident that they hate God and human morality as created by God.

There are ways to their political agenda. God still answers the prayer of His people. God can thwart their political agenda and redeem their soul. People who still hold to natural morality can collective stand against their politics by protesting any and all efforts to their social and political leaders. Now is the time.

Lots of pornography found on computer of Judge in LA obscenity case

From Aaron Leichman’s the Christian Post news report on June 13, 2008.

In one of the nation’s most high profile cases involving the prosecution of obscenity, pro-family groups and other commentators believed that they had a solid case against a Los Angeles advertizing agency owner who produced and sold thousands of what one attorney described as “the most extreme [pornographic videos] ever been put on trial.”

That is, until the case was temporarily suspended this week after the presiding judge was revealed to have a mountain of obscene pornographic videos on his personal web page.

Although state prosecutors spoke of a significant “conflict of interest” as they requested a 48-hour stay, pro-family groups have called for nothing less than the removal of Ninth Circuit Court Chief Justice Alex Kozinski from the case.

“As of this morning, he [has] yet to recuse himself from the current case involving sexual fetish videos,” the Family Research Council said in a statement.

“[Americans], like FRC, believe that Kozinski is ill-equipped to try an obscenity case when he clearly does not understand the definition of obscene. We call for his recusal in this case and a reexamination of his fitness as chief of one of the most important courts in the entire nation,” the group added.

But perhaps the most incredulous aspect of the recent case, according to pro-family groups, is Kozinki’s apparent indifference to the controversy of having a web page containing obscene pornographic images.

“Is it prurient?” Kozinski asked, according to the Los Angeles Times, which revealed the existence of the images and videos on the judge’s Web site. “I don’t know what to tell you… It’s part of life. This is a funny joke.”

A joke, however, that few Americans find funny, the FRC said.

The case, which involves Ira Isaacs, who is charged with obscenity for selling movies depicting bestiality and fetishes involving feces and urination, could prove challenging for prosecutors to effectively put on trial.

Kozinski called Thursday for an ethics panel to investigate his own conduct and said he would fully cooperate in any investigation, according to The Associated Press . He has acknowledged the sexual content on his personal Web site and claimed the images were not obscene. The California judge, however, also told the legal Web site abovethelaw.com that he doesn’t remember “putting some of that stuff” there.

“The problem with obscenity is no one really knows what it is. It’s relatively simple to paint something as an artistic effort even if it’s offensive,” said Jean Rosenbluth, a former federal prosecutor and law professor at University of Southern California, as reported by AP.

In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that work cannot be considered obscene if it is deemed to have “literary, artistic, political or scientific value.”

The case will be relegated to a temporary pause until prosecutors decide how to further proceed.

Louisiana defeats a fascist bill that would make gays a protected class

The Louisiana legislature defeated bill HB 981 Homosexual Privileges Bill on May 30. Rep. LaFonta’s bill would have forced government agencies to add homosexuality as a protected class under hiring practices.

Fascist gay activists and politicians are seeking to convince local, state, and federal government to pass this type of bill. The bill is sometimes called Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA). ENDA was defeated in Congress earlier this year. Whether as legislation or local ordinance, this type of law will force communities and individuals businesses and landlords to violate their First Amendment rights.

Gay rights law is the end game of liberal politics. As explained by Jonah Goldberg, the history of American liberalism is the development of fascist socialism similar to Italy’s Mussolini, Russia’s Marixist-Lennonism, Germany’s Nazism, and Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal carried forward by Lyndon B, Johnson’s Great Society. All of them shared the same basic ideals. The sexual politics of liberals has long been a direct effort to replace western biblically-based moral values with those usually defined as humanism. An all encompassing term for all of these political, social, and value systems is secularism.

The oft-repeated slander of the Left that the religious view, moral values, and political principles of America’s founding are somehow antiquated is the lie of propagandists. The political ideals and the moral values on which they were justified are common to human nature. The natural law basis of the Constitution is not rooted in modern secular ideals. The two are conflicting opposites. Natural law is reasoned from human nature and moral law. Human nature doesn’t change and consequently neither does moral law. The Left opposes this in order to foist upon all their immorality. Homosexuality is unnatural behavior and it is immoral. Not discriminating against it is a crime against nature.

All states should follow Louisiana’s lead.

Pass constitutional amendment thwart fascist gay agenda

The May 29 editorial on the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment concluded that marriage is not under threat in Florida yet. This is an unsupportable assertion.

The liberal gay activists are unrelenting in their effort to find a judge or official in any and every state who will rule that the current legal definition of marriage somehow violates their state constitution, allowing same-sex marriages.

California, Massachusetts, Iowa, New York, Maryland, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon and New Jersey have struggled with this specific issue.

Florida does not exist in a cocoon unaffected by what is going on in other states.

As proof, our own attorney general of Florida, Bill McCollum, recently has joined eight other states in requesting the California Supreme Court to postpone the implementation of its pro-gay marriage decision until after the November ballot on the California marriage amendment.

If the traditional definition of marriage is in our constitution, then Florida is protected (at least as best as Florida voters can do on their own).

The Times-Union editorial recommends that those who would protect traditional marriage wait and act after that sought-after judge somewhere in Florida rules that gays have the state constitutional right to marry.

This is a dubious strategy at best! Stand back and do nothing, while the gay activists continue to hammer away in court after court until they achieve victory? Then act?

If marriage is worth defending later, it is worth defending now.

Twenty-seven states have passed such constitutional amendments.

The issue on this amendment is simple.

Is marriage in Florida to remain the union of only one man and one woman?

Or, is it to be radically changed to include same-sex marriages and then later perhaps polygamy or even group marriages?

If we permit same-sex couples to marry, on what rational, logical, consistent basis do we then deny marriage to the polygamists? The group-marriage proponents?

This is the right time to have this amendment on the ballot. This is the right time for its passage.

Opponents of Florida’s Marriage Amendment Mail Thousands of Dishonest and Factually Incorrect Letter to Petition Signers

Yes2Marriage.org has learned that the group opposing the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment, Red and Blue, has sent deceptive letters containing false and misleading information to what appears to be hundreds of thousands of voters who signed the Florida4Marriage.org petitions. The first of these letters, which began to be received by voters on Monday, May 12, further emphasizes the group’s strategy to attack Amendment 2 by trying to trick Floridians and misguide voters instead of debate the policy issue of whether homosexual marriages are good for Florida.

First, their direct mail piece states “people collecting petitions are not always honest about the issues they are pushing-especially if they are being paid by the signature.” This is a deliberate and verifiably false statement. At no time during the collection of marriage petitions were paid petition gathers used. 100% of the petitions were collected by volunteer citizens in communities throughout Florida.

Second, their “hit” mail piece further states that voters were “misinformed” when they signed the petition. That is an insult to the intelligence of the more than 650,000 Florida voters who signed the petition knowing full well the importance of marriage to children, families and the common good of society. Florida wants the people and not judges deciding this issue. Activist judges gave Massachusetts the first homosexual marriages– and judges just this past year in Iowa, Maryland, and California have tried to do the same.

Adding to the deliberate misrepresentations, the letter goes on to state that the Amendment will take away rights from “millions of Floridians.” Yet, the Florida Supreme Court approved the language of the amendment in 2006 and stated in their opinion: “the voter is merely being asked to vote on the singular subject of whether the concept of marriage and the rights and obligations traditionally embodied therein should be limited to the union of one man and one woman.” (Advisory Opinion, Page 3). The fact is that every legal authority in Florida holds that Amendment 2 does one thing and one thing alone. It defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman, and it does not affect existing rights in anyway.

One needs only look at the signer of the letter to see that homosexual activists are behind the so called “Florida Red and Blue” group. The letter is signed by Dwain Wall, a board member of Florida Red and Blue. Mr. Wall is also the managing partner of Bridge Lifestyle Communities in Palm Beach, an exclusively gay and lesbian residential community.

The leaders of Florida Red and Blue would do a huge service to the people of Florida if they simply came clean and discussed the real issue addressed by the amendment – protecting marriage between a man and a woman. The fact is that they can not debate the public policy merits of same-sex marriage, because they are afraid they will lose like they have in the 27 other states which have also protected marriage in their state constitutions by overwhelming majorities.

End the Welfare Marriage Penalty

In a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, US Senator Sam Brownback and President of the Institute for American Values David Blankenhorn proposed an end to the federal government’s marriage tax. They say the married couples are forced to pay the government 20% of their income. That means a married couple with earned income of $60,000 gives Uncle Sam about $12,000 for the privilege of being married.

Okay, there is something being left out. The $60,000 figure may be a little too high. The authors acknowledge that Congress has made substantial progress in reducing the marriage tax on married couples with middle to upper incomes. It is the marriage tax on couples who receive welfare benefits that Brownback and Blankenhorn want to eliminate. They say,

For most couples on welfare, getting married is among the more expensive decisions they will face as newlyweds, because saying “I do” will reduce the benefits they receive, on average, by 10% to 20% of their total income.

This is the word on the street. It may be contributing prevalent practice of shaking up and unwed parenting among the poor.

Why should we all care about eliminating the marriage penalty tax on the poor. One obvious reason is to eliminate the disincentive for couple to share the marriage life and be responsible for their children.

A wide range of studies have found that children whose parents are married are significantly less likely to use drugs, have emotional problems, drop out of school, or get into trouble with the law. Studies also consistently find that married adults tend to be happier, healthier and ultimately wealthier than their unmarried but otherwise similarly situated peers, say the authors.

By removing disincentives for marriage, we are giving them a strong incentive not to take advantage of an institution that would likely help them lift themselves out of poverty [and welfare] over time.”

What then is Brownback and Blankenhorn proposal? Stop making the poor pay for being married. The first step is to establish pilot programs in at least 5 low-income communities across the nation to test their proposal. With a community-wide support program encouraging marriage among the poor, this program just might work. If results from the pilot programs evidence the expected results of increased marriages and income, the next step would be to implement the program nationwide.

Michigan’s socialist Governor doesn’t like Partial-Birth Abortion Ban passed by the House

In 2007, there were 24,683 abortions performed in Michigan, according to the Michigan Department of Community Health.

To prevent partial-birth mutilations, the Michigan House again passed a ban on partial-birth abortions. After a protracted debate, the Michigan House voted 74-32 in favor of the bill that would make it a felony for a doctor to perform the procedure. The maximum sentence would be two years in prison and up to a $50,000 fine. The Senate passed the same bill by a 24-13 vote on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

The Michigan law mirrors a federal law banning the practice that was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. “Having a state law strengthens enforcement of the federal ban and makes it clear that partial-birth abortion will not be allowed in our state,” said Michigan Family Frum Executive Director Brad Snavely.

I’m wondering why the law permits the procedure even if the life of the mother is threatened. Partial-birth abortion is killing a delivered baby. (Does a fetus have developed arms, legs, and head? Surely, a fetus that looks like a human must be called human!) If a maternal life is threatened because of pregnancy, why not deliver the child and incubate him or her until fully developed. Surely, American medicine can utilize its advanced technology to preserve life and not just clone, harvest stem cells, or destroy developing humans for the sake of scientific experimentation?

Socialist liberals are actually upset because this bill threatens their extra-constitutional law dictated by the Supreme Court through Roe v. Wade. The so-called law made killing unborn humans a privacy convenience. That is why Democrats in Michigan oppose the bill. That is why Gov. Jennifer Granholm and followers vetoed a similar bill in 2003 and will likely seek to veto it again.

DC Planned Parenthood butcher shop attempting to dodge malpractice suit by a now infertile 13 year old

Tim Waggoner of LifeSite News reported that a women on February 12, 2008, filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood Metropolitan located in Washington, D.C. for damages suffered during an abortion procedure at a Planned Parenthood centre.

Emma Jean Butler, mother of Shantese Butler, is suing Planned Parenthood for $50 million dollars in damages. Butler took her daughter to the D.C. Planned Parenthood on September 7, 2006 to abort a child conceived in rape. During the abortion, Shantese sustained severe abdominal bleeding, severe vaginal injury, severe injury to the cervix, significant uterine perforation, and a small bowel tear. In addition, parts of the child were found inside Shantese’s abdomen on September 8, 2006. Because of these injuries, Shantese will be infertile for the rest of her life.

Planned Parenthood Metropolitan has denied the injuries suffered and the infertility of Shantese Butler. In addition, they state in their answer that Butler’s claims are barred by the doctrines of informed consent and assumption of risk.

Kristan Hawkins, Students for Life of America’s Executive Director, remarked, “This is a horrible situation. Our thoughts go out to Shantese and her family as she recovers from her injuries both from the rape and abortion. Further, it is outrageous that Planned Parenthood thinks they are excused from being held liable because Shantese was informed of possible risks associated with abortion. In no other medical profession would this be acceptable. How ironic is it that the pro-abortion movement claims they want abortions to be ‘safe, legal, and rare,’ when in this poster case for abortion, Shantese was permanently injured, resulting in infertility for the rest of her life, making abortion harmful and almost deadly to the young girl.”

We should not allow federal or state governments to pass laws undermining the rights of patients or consumers who have been harmed, lied to, or defrauded by any industry, whether medical or any other.
People do not exist for the benefit of profit or government. The American ideal was that they exist for the benefit of the people in communities, states, and nations where they serve at the people’s will.

Life is priceless and so is wholeness. Planned Planned will be getting off too easy if all they have to do is pay $50 million for Shantese Butler’s medical expenses, legal expenses, and maybe a little left over for her future. Maybe that future will include some sort of new medical restorative technology or for future adoptions.

See Students For Life for more information about this case.
