Politically Correct or Just Plain Dumb?

From the Patriot Post:

In a case that is astounding for its depths of ludicrousness, Evergreen State College in Washington has refused to stop a 45-year-old man from exposing himself to girls as young as six — all because “he” identifies himself as a “she.” The girls’ locker room at the college is used by a duo of high schools as well as a swim club with students as young as kindergarten age. Yet, when a concerned parent and a coach contacted the police after children witnessed the man naked in the locker room, Evergreen State’s reply was that it would not prevent the man from being on the premises because it condones his sexual disorientation. Worse still, the county prosecutor’s office indicated it is unlikely to prosecute the man for indecent exposure. And the depths of politically correct degradation extend even deeper in that the police report lists the gender of the man in question as female.

As a People’s Morality Goes …

Columnist Selwyn Duke:

“Just as with religion, people bring their ideology with them. And unless you think you could talk a Muslim jihadist out of Islam, why suppose you could talk a socialist out of socialism? … As a people’s morality goes, so go its fortunes. You simply cannot be one kind of people but have another kind of government … And what has happened to our sense of virtue in America? So lost it is that even the word has been replaced with ‘values,’ that fixture of the atheistic literary style. For decades we have instilled children with leftism, nihilism, hedonism, relativism, and atheism through academia, the media, and popular culture; we have seduced them into sin and made them, as Ben Franklin wrote, ‘more corrupt and vicious, [so] they have more need of masters.’ For sure, masters will be one’s lot if he has not mastered himself. … There is a strong atheism-statism correlation the world over, which is why it’s no coincidence that ‘conservatives’ in heavily secular Western Europe are simpatico with our liberals. … Without the Christian right, there is no right at all.”

Dishonorable Disclosures

Published on Aug 15, 2012 by OPSECTeam: This is a “must see” video!

We Cannot Fail Succeeding Generations!

Thomas Jefferson:

“Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them.” (Declaration of Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms, July 6, 1775)

An Important Election

Quoting Mitt Romney:

“This is an important election and … I’m concerned about the direction America has been taking over the last four years. … I know this is bigger than an election about the two of us as individuals. It’s bigger than our respective parties. It’s an election about the course of America. What kind of America do you want to have for yourself and for your children? There are two very different paths that we began speaking about this evening, and … they lead in very different directions.”

The Strategy of Appeasement

President Ronald Reagan:

“[E]very lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face — that their policy of accommodation is appeasement and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight and surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand — the ultimatum. And what then?”

A Message from Bishop E.W. Jackson

This is a timely and convicting message for all of us to hear. Examine your conscience and pray to God to help you settle this within your heart. This message is not just a “black” message. It is a message that applies to all Christians in this nation!

Property

Quoting Walter Williams:

“No matter how worthy the cause, it is robbery, theft, and injustice to confiscate the property of one person and give it to another to whom it does not belong.”

God and Politics

 

Perhaps they thought it was a mistake not to include God in the Democratic Party Platform. However, following two unsuccessful votes, it took a third vote to finally reinsert God into the party platform. But – why did half of the convention boo? Dr. Benjamin Wiker of tothesource comments on the Democratic Party convention and the God debate:

What could be more embarrassing—and telling—than half the democratic convention delegates booing God? Not just booing the democratic chairman himself for so obviously overriding the wishes of (at least) half the delegates. But booing God Himself, Whom the disappointed delegates so passionately wanted to exclude from the platform—and from our culture. . . .

The secular-minded half of the Democratic Convention delegates therefore … want the Democratic Party to be the secular party, the party that, once in power, can more effectively use federal power to continue booing God out of our culture.

But is the Democratic Party really the secular party? No. Don’t forget the half that cheered their “yay” when God was let back in. They don’t want God booed out of our culture, and they resent the attempt to boo God out of their party. Those who cheered God’s inclusion include the pro-life Democrats whom the party has shut out.

In short, the Democratic Party is divided. For a variety of complex historical and cultural reasons, the radical secularists have chosen the Democratic Party as the one they want to take over so that they can gain control of the country. . . .

The yays and nays, the cheers and boos we heard at the Democratic Convention are not friendly disagreements. They represent different universes. That should be clear enough from the passion each displayed. In representing two entirely opposed views of the universe, one with God included and one with God excluded, they represent two entirely different foundations for common life, two entirely different and opposing moral views, and hence two entirely different ways that governmental power should be used.

Honesty and the Media

 

Quoting President Ronald Reagan:

“I’ve come to believe there is little, if any, honesty in the media, and ethic is a word they are totally unfamiliar with.”

Helping People

Quoting Thomas Sowell:

“When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.”

Good Conservatives

In the words of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher:

“Good Conservatives always pay their bills. And on time. Not like the Socialists who run up other people’s bills.”

America’s Freedom

From the speeches of President Ronald Reagan:

“We will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we may always be free.”

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

“The Democrats say that the United States has had its days in the sun, that our nation has passed its zenith. They expect you to tell your children that the American people no longer have the will to cope with their problems, that the future will be one of sacrifice and few opportunities. My fellow citizens, I utterly reject that view.”

How Will You Pay Your Taxes to Caesar in 2013?

According to The Foundry:

Taxmageddon is approaching closer by the day. Much of the focus has been on the impact Taxmageddon will have on the economy. But just how will this massive tax hike impact America’s most fundamental unit of society?

Families will see their taxes go up by more than $4,100—just in 2013—because of Taxmageddon. How will families pay for this huge tax hike, on top of all the other taxes they already pay, and still make ends meet?

This tax hike is nearly as big as a family’s annual grocery bill, the amount families pay to maintain a car, or the amount families spend on utilities each year. What will families have to cut in order to feed the gluttonous federal government?

The Loss of Humanity

From the desk of columnist Jonah Goldberg:

“[D]oes anyone doubt that there’s something about the legal regime in this country that’s creating a headwind against basic human decency? And I’m not just talking about trial lawyers and the politicians who love them. Last year, in Alameda, Calif., a man walked into the chilly — but not exactly freezing — waters of the Bay Area to commit suicide. It was a slow affair. The police and firefighters got there in plenty of time. But, due to union-backed rules, they simply declined to save the man’s life. They just stood on the beach and watched. Fire Chief Ricci Zombeck was asked what he would have done if it were a child, rather than a suicidal adult, slowly drowning out there. He responded that if he were on duty he’d have let the kid drown, but if he was off duty he would have saved him. These are the symptoms of a sick culture.”
