Teens For Life Plays The Race Card!

Thanks to Teens For Life, the truth about what Planned Parenthood is really up to is in the news.

It just so happens that I wrote about this issue in my personal Blog here two weeks ago. (See "Abortion! Because Lynching is For Amateurs!"

The Declaration of Independence is Unconstitutional?

For once in my life I am speechless! Check out this story about a teacher who had to sue the school that he works at because they would not let him distribute the Declaration of Independence. The principal believed that it would violate the "Separation" clause of the Constitution.

Fortune 500 Companies Bend to Anti-Family Preasure

A group called the Human Rights Campaign has been successfully pressuring major companies to supporting their Gay, Lesbian & Transgender lifestyles. They do so by sending surveys to these companies asking if they provide special benefits and protections for those who chose to live these lifestyles. And if they don’t respond or respond unfavorably, they apply pressure to force the company to change.

But they don’t stop there!They even go as far as reviewing their IRS filings to see if the company gave any funds to pro-family organizations. And if they do, they are labeled as bigoted and anti-human rights.The criteria for the company to get a high rating includes the following:

1. Include the words “sexual orientation” in their primary written non-discrimination policy.
2. Include the words “gender identity” or “gender identity and/or expression” in their primary written non-discrimination policy.
3. Offer health insurance coverage to employees’ same-sex domestic partners firm-wide; or provide cash compensation to employees to purchase health insurance for a domestic partner on their own.
4. Officially recognize and support a gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employee resource group; or would support employees’ forming a GLBT employee resource group if some expressed interest by providing space and other resources; or have a firm-wide diversity council or working group whose mission specifically includes GLBT diversity.
5. Offer diversity training that includes sexual orientation and/or gender identity and expression in the workplace.
6. Engage in respectful and appropriate marketing to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community and/or provide support through their corporate foundation or otherwise to GLBT health, educational, political or community organizations or events.
7. Engage in corporate action that would undermine the goal of equal rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.

Now, it is well within their rights to conduct this effort. However, it is well within our rights, as supporters of traditional values to do the same. I plan to review the survey for companies that they rate highly and put them on my “Won’t get my money!” list.If you believe in protecting traditional values, I encourage you to do the same!

If This Is Not a Hate Crime... What Is?

Imagine a group of white men verbally assailing a white female for being married to a black man. Then imagine one of those white men ushering racial slurs at the black man prior to knocking him unconscious and fleeing the scene with the other white men. Would perpetrator of this assault be charged with a hate crime? You bet!

So, why is it any different when the assailants are black and the victim is white? That is the question many are asking in regards to a racially motivated incident involving former Natomas High School Football standout, Joseph Rudolph. He (a black man) assaulted a national guardsman (a white man) who was home on leave from the war in Iraq. (Click Here for the Story.)

Am I mistaken or does there appear to be a double standard when it comes to the application of a law that is meant to reduce hatred for people based on race, religion, national origin and (in California's case) sexual preference and gender identity.

By not charging this Joseph Rudolf with a hate crime, we are saying that our toleration of hate, depends on who is the target of that hate. I other words, if you shout racial slurs at a black man (because he is black), physically assault him, burn down his house or in any other way violate his civil rights, you deserve a special place in hell. But if you do the same to a white man (because he is white) somehow this hate is more tolerable, because we will not provide the same protections to him as outlined in hate crimes laws.

If hate crime laws are not to protect everyone, then all they will do is precipitate more hate. And proponents of these lopsided applications are communicating that it is more acceptable to hate heterosexual, Christian white men than black men, gay men or Muslim men. Hate is hate! And if we are going to punish it, let’s punish it equally.What bothers me even more is that I have been accused by some blacks of being an "Uncle Tom" for even daring to mention this injustice. Not that I care about what others think of me. But what does that say about how far we still have to go in truly coming together as a people?

I guess some don't believe that Justice should be colorblind.

Oil For Food Scandal Still Goes Under-Reported

Why is nobody in the mainstream media talking about the oil for food scandal? Iraq was clearly using thier oil to bribe officials of foreign governments (the French in particular) and the UN. But nobody is saying anything!!!

Now we discover that the bank (French bank that is!) which recieved over $700 million to administer the program, apparently did not do their job. Duh!

Democrats Have Faith Too

Star Parker, President and Founder of The Coalition for Urban Renewal clearly points out that Democrats do have faith. The only problem is their faith is in the wrong things. Way to go Star!!! (Click on Pic for More.)

Racial Preferences... Help or Hinderance?

Link Changed

According to the LA Times, UCLA Professor, Richard Sanders will be publishing a study that statistically shows what I have always believed. Racial preferences have too often taken intelligent, potentially successful students and placed them in situations where they have not been adequately prepared to be successful.

When I started school at California State University, Chico there were a total of 70 Black students in the freshman class, most of which were affirmative action students. When I graduated five years later, about 10% of those students graduated with me. I didn’t understand why so few had made it. They were just as smart and talented as I was. It wasn’t until I became a tutor for a program called Summer Bridge and worked with incoming freshmen, many of whom were affirmative action placements, that the truth of affirmative action became clear.

Many of these students were not able to do basic mathematical computations, such as adding, multiplying or dividing fractions. Additionally, few knew how to write a basic five-paragraph essay, a skill necessary for most college level courses. This is not to say that they were not capable of learning these skills. Rather, they had either, never been exposed to them or the importance of perfecting them had not been adequately imparted. All students experience a certain culture shock when they go to college. Now add to the mix the fact that many of these students come from high schools who’s ethnic and cultural makeup is dramatically different from that of the average college campus. What 18 year-old kid wouldn’t want to return to the comforts and familiar surroundings of home. And as if these students weren’t dealing with enough insecurities, wait until they find out that they have been setup for failure. Like a contractor asked to build a fence, but is given no wood, no hammer or any nails; these students are not given the proper tools to compete at the college level.

The problem is not Affirmative Action, but what it has become. Rather than making sure that ALL students have an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED in college, we have set many of those students up to fail by not making sure all students have the tools necessary to succeed once they there.

Everybody wants to take the shortcuts to solve the problem. Conservatives say to eliminate the program. Liberals simply want to throw more money at it. The answer is far more complex than politicians in either of these groups will admit. There is not a level playing field when it comes to access to higher education in this state. Black, Latino & Native American students tend to come from poorer communities with a quality of education that is worse than many third world nations. This must be addressed. But putting bright, potentially successful young men and women in positions where they are not prepared to succeed is not the answer. It is important that we not lower the bar for these students, but provide these students with whatever resources and assistance they need to meet these standards.

In other words... Let us not seek to improve their circumstances. Let us seek them improve themselves, so that they can overcome their circumstances.

This Is Why Ballot Box Budgeting Doesn't Work!

Whenever we pass tax increases or bonds for special programs, the government always finds ways to spend the money on something other than what it was intended for. This is the future of Prop. 63 & 71, which were just approved by California voters (Click on Pic for More.)

Abortion! Because Lynching is for Amateurs!

If Blacks want to know why we should be against abortion, they only need check out this site www.klannedparenthood.com . The abortion rights movement has accomplished through Planned Parenthood what the Klu Klux Klan could only have dreamed.

Consider the following:

• A black baby is now more than three times as likely to be murdered in the womb than a white baby.
• Since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by over 25 percent.
• Twice as many African-Americans have died from abortion than have died fromAIDS, accidents, violent crimes, cancer, and heart disease combined.
• Every three days, more African-Americans are killed by abortion thanhave been killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire history.
• Planned Parenthood operates the nation's largest chain of abortion clinics andalmost 80 percent of its facilities are located in minority neighborhoods.
• About 13 percent of American women are black, but theysubmit to over 35 percent of the abortions.

Giving Credit where Credit is due

I am the first to admit that I am no fan of the ACLU. But apparently, they are on the right (righteous) side of this issue. They are helping evangelical Christians in Las Vegas fight the casinos for their right to evangelize on the strip.

It is about time they stood up for Christian's right to free speech.

Should Christians Vote Christian?

With the presidential election now behind us, all the buzz seems to be about massive turnout of evangelical Christians. The liberals and the media would have us believe that it is wrong to vote for candidates who support moral standards (especially Christian moral standards). They claim. “It violates everything America stands for.”

Sacramento Observer- Are Black Pastors Misleading Us?
Sacramento Bee- Nations Cultural Divide- Values
Los Angeles Times- Now That He's Free, Who Needs Reality...

Well, that isn’t what these folks said:

George Washington
The first President of the United States in his Farewell Address (Sept. 19, 1796) stated, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great Pillars…”

John Jay
The First Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court and one of the three men most responsible for the Constitution said, “It is the duty—as well as the privilege and interest—of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.”

Noah Webster
Founding Father, Author of Webster’s Dictionary, educator, largely responsible for Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution “The religion that has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and His apostles… to this we owe our free Constitutions of Government. …No truth is more evident to my mind than that Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.”

John Quincy Adams
America's sixth President, said (in a speech delivered on July 4, 1837, at Newburyport): “Is it not that the Declaration of Independence first organized the social compact on the foundation of the Redeemer's mission upon earth? That it laid the cornerstone of human government upon the first precepts of Christianity?”

But what do these guys know about the foundation of this country?
