UK judge opposes Christian beliefs

A UK newspaper reports:

A senior judge ruled yesterday that Christian beliefs have no place in the law and no right to protection by the courts.

Lord Justice Laws said that Britain would become a religious dictatorship if the views of a single faith were given a priority over others in legal matters.

In a landmark case, the appeal judge told relationship guidance counsellor Gary McFarlane, a Christian, that he had no right to refuse to give sex therapy to gay couples.

I guess there are just two alternatives in the eyes of this UK judge: either they have a religious dictatorship, or Christian counselors are forced to give sex therapy to gay couples.

At least American judges do not wear those ridiculous wigs.

China's Missing Girls

Communist China adopted a policy of one-child-per-couple in 1978 in order to limit the country's growing population for the sake of economic growth, national security, and environmental preservation. The tragedies and cruelty of forced abortions shocked the world, but sex-selective abortions are the cause of most of the missing girls. Now, 30 years later, we see the terrible results that nobody seems to predict when this policy was imposed. Chinese boys now outnumber Chinese girls by the millions. The Chinese government recently predicted that 24 million Chinese men might not be able to find brides in 2020. Other estimates put that number in the 30 million to 50 million range.
A new word has been invented: gendercide. This phenomenon of missing girls has turned China into a giant magnet for human traffickers, who lure or kidnap women and sell them into forced marriages or the commercial sex trade. The trafficking in girls has spread to other countries. North Korean girls are especially vulnerable. North Korean girls are kidnapped to be put into forced marriages or prostitution.

The totalitarian Communist Chinese government says it wants to change China's traditional "son-preference" ideology, but that will be difficult to impossible. Chinese parents believe they must have a son to carry on their family name, inherit family properties, support them in their old age, and host their funeral ceremonies. Tradition says that sons belong to their father's lineage, but daughters become part of their husband's family. What will China do with 30 to 50 million men who cannot find a woman to share their lives? It is frightening that the obvious answer to that question is that China will have to go to war so the extra men can be killed.

How To Deal With the Issue of Jobs

Puerto Rico -- 51st State? Congress Scrambling to Make it So - Big Government

Last night (Tuesday) on his TV show, Glenn Beck dropped another bombshell — on Thursday, Congress will take up a bill to make Puerto Rico a state. Why is our Congress doing this now? Secretly? Quickly? If it hadn’t been for one of Beck’s “Refounders” (a Congressional insider), would we even know about this? Why is this important to you and me?

Well, the word is out, and my local 9-12/Tea party organization sent this out this morning. First thing to hit my mailbox, in fact…

There is a bill to make Puerto Rico a state. Again, they are trying to pull one over on us and on Puerto Ricans, who have consistently said they do not want to become a state. Read below for more information (from Eagle Forum). This was also discussed by Rep Tom Price on a conference call yesterday.

A Guide to Back to Basics

A book called Back to Basics: A Complete Guide to Traditional Skills by Abigail Gehring was first published by the Reader’s Digest back in 1981. This book turned out to have time-tested appeal and was recently republished. It is a great reference for those who aspire to a more independent, self-reliant way of life. The book is organized into sections featuring shelter, energy sources, raising and preserving food, home crafts, and recreational activities. You can make cheese or soap, and butcher a hen, using the instructions provided. There are 65 major subjects. The beekeeping section, for example, covers choosing a site for your hive, how to configure and build the hive, identifying the drones, workers, and queen, the bees' favorite flowers, tools and equipment needed, how to avoid getting stung, and methods for harvesting and storing honey.
This book has over 2,000 color photographs, drawings, charts and diagrams that enhance understanding. Other features include short interviews with folks who practice some of the “lost arts” in the book, as well as relevant historical background for some skills. Did you know that the New England colonists created patchwork quilts because they needed warmer blankets than the coverlets they brought with them from the Old World?

Kids and adults who want to understand how their own gardens can supply us with our daily needs will find Back to Basics absorbing. Some readers will be inspired to start their own kitchen gardens. Others may decide to raise a few chickens, pigs or goats. Many will simply find it interesting to know how the hide of an animal is transformed into tennis shoes or a leather jacket through the arts of tanning and leatherwork. Families will find projects they can do together, like making candles or homemade ice cream. Kids will enjoy playing the six varieties of “tag” and making a kite. The book called Back to Basics has something for everyone.

Local GOP chief to lead anti-abortion group

Dianne Edmondson

Edmondson chosen for national party coalition

By Bj Lewis / Staff Writer

The chairwoman of the Denton County Republican Party has taken on the task of executive director for the Republican National Coalition for Life.


Dianne Edmondson succeeds Colleen Parro, who is retiring after 20 years. When Parro decided to retire, the coalition’s national chairwoman asked around for possible replacements and Edmondson’s name came up.

“I submitted my resume to [chairwoman] Phyllis Schlafly, and out of several who applied, she picked me, which was flattering, and I am delighted to be given this opportunity to serve,” Edmondson said.

Schlafly and Parro founded the organization in 1990.

The organization’s mission is to make sure the Republican national platform stays strongly opposed to abortion, and as new issues arrive, to make sure they are addressed from an anti-abortion perspective, Edmondson said.

“I think her experience in various positions in the Republican Party will be extremely helpful,” said Schlafly, who has known Edmondson for many years.

The organization began as a way to counter party members who wished to remove the pro-life plank from the party platform. GOP officials have sparred with such factions for years.

Schlafly said Edmondson’s activity in the GOP, her knowledge of how it operates and her stance on abortion give her comfort as Edmondson takes the organization’s reins.

One of Edmondson’s jobs will be to keep the Republican Party as the anti-abortion party — one of the primary differences, she said, between the Democratic and Republican parties.

This organization is the only one geared specifically to the GOP, Edmondson said.

“It’s the Republicans you can count on to promote and stand strong on the pro-life cause,” she said.

One of her tasks for the next presidential cycle will be to educate Republican delegates so that a strong anti-abortion delegation can insist the party strengthen that stance.

Edmondson was relieved — as were other local party members — to learn she would not have to give up her position in the county party.

“This position is one I can structure time around other commitments,” she said. “The two mesh very well, because it is working with Republicans and I do that well.”

Edmondson said the party faces a challenge in the next political cycle with a “pro-abortion president and Congress.”

“My goal is to not go backwards and continue to go forward in the number of people elected to Congress who are pro-life,” she said. “That is a personal goal I would like to see achieved.”

Edmondson also is busy planning a luncheon to honor her predecessor and preparing a newsletter highlighting Republicans’ work on pro-life issues in various states, “in case they may want to take the same initiatives and to remind other like-minded people who are independent voters that the Republican Party is the party of life.”

Punishing Smart Kids to Attain Equity

Here is an equity problem that has arisen in Berkeley High School in California. President Obama has called for “a national commitment to science education and training” that will enable the U.S. to compete globally, and Berkeley High School has achieved that goal. Last year 82% of Berkeley students passed a rigorous exam that gives them college credit. The students majoring in physics and biology did even better, Berkeley's science department is one of the best in the country.

Court to rule on violent video games

Eagle Forum urged the U.S. Supreme Court to allow States to prohibit the sale and rental of violent video games to children, and Monday morning the Supreme Court agreed to consider this matter. Eagle Forum Education & Legal Defense Fund was the only group to file a timely amicus brief (PDF) in this case, and the U.S. Supreme Court accepts only about 1% of appeals for review. We are thrilled that the Supreme Court may now overturn the judicial activism by lower federal courts that have invalidated restrictions on violent video games, games that even reward youngsters for playing the role of terrorists.

The Legacy of Howard Zinn

A leftwing historian named Howard Zinn died this year, and he's a good example of the famous Shakespearean phrase that the evil men do lives after them. Zinn peddled every left-wing notion that circulates on college campuses. Zinn was the author of 20 books, but only one is really important. It is entitled A People’s History of the United States. That book sold 2 million copies and is still going strong after 30 years. Its political message is that America is and always has been an evil, exploitative country. That message guaranteed its success among the tenured radicals who teach our children. This book, A People’s History, is the textbook of choice in high schools and colleges across the country. No other history book comes even close in influence. This means is that most students are taught that America is evil and unjust.

Response briefs in Menendez recall break new ground

The committee seeking to recall Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) submitted its response brief yesterday to the New Jersey Supreme Court, a brief that broke new ground in arguing that recall elections, even of United States Senators, are allowed under the United States Constitution.

Andrew L. Schlafly, lead counsel for the Committee to Recall Robert Menendez from the Office of United States Senator, and Peter Ferrara, head of the American Civil Rights Union, both submitted their briefs to the Supreme Court, as required under the Court's accelerated briefing schedule. Menendez' office has petitioned the Court for certification in the case of Committee to Recall Robert Menendez from the Office of United States Senator v. Wells and Giles, saying that the Appellate Division of the New Jersey Superior Court was wrong to have ignored the issue of whether a State may constitutionally recall its Senators, or either of them, when it enjoined the State Division of Elections to approve the Committee's Notice of Intention.

Pushing Housing as a Human Right

Americans are still asking, why are we in this current recession? What caused it? Some smart economists are finally admitting that the meltdown was started and is primarily the result of a liberal left agenda that was pushing the notion that housing is a fundamental human right. The socialist approach to the economy is to consider government a source of entitlements, and housing was added to the list in the early 1990s. The idea was promulgated by both Bush Administrations, by Democratic politicians including Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts and Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut, by Bill and Hillary Clinton, by Clinton's Wall Street friends such as Robert Rubin, by bureaucrats such as Andrew Cuomo, and by the extortionist organizations called Operation PUSH and ACORN.

Campus Dating Is a Man’s World

From an academic achievement perspective, women have a lot to celebrate. Women now make up nearly 60% of American college students. But if women are 60%, that means men are only 40%. Even when women go to college primarily to earn a degree, they are also interested in romance, and many are frustrated with the dating dynamics on their campuses. One female senior at the University of North Carolina complains that the actual dating pool of men is even smaller than it appears. She said: “Out of that 40%, there are maybe 20% that we would consider, and out of those 20%, ten have girlfriends, so all the girls are fighting over the other 10%."

What will your children be learning on Earth Day?

The Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) launches its latest campaign, Balanced Education for Everyone (BEE) to encourage parents to take control of their children’s education, especially when it comes to alarmist global warming indoctrination.

That’s just not the case.

It Pays to Work for Uncle Sam

I was surprised, even shocked, to read a front-page headline in the newspaper USA Today that said, "It pays to work for Uncle Sam." The article reported that federal employees receive higher average salaries than private-sector workers in most occupations. Accountants, nurses, chemists, surveyors, cooks, clerks and janitors are among the wide range of jobs that get paid more on average when they work for the federal government than in the private sector. Registered nurses who work for the federal government are paid an average of $74,000 a year, which is $10,680 more than the average for private-sector nurses. Overall, federal workers get an average salary of $67,700 a year for occupations that exist both in government and private industry, whereas the average pay for the same mix of jobs in the private sector is $60,000.

Speaker discusses opposition to feminism, Equal Rights Amendment

Schlafly attacks feminism as ‘sour-grape ideology’

One thing was clear at Phyllis Schlafly’s speech Monday night: She is no feminist.

Throughout her speech, titled “Feminism vs. Conservatism,” Schlafly, a renowned conservative activist and attorney, talked about her lifelong opposition to feminism and her prominent fight against the Equal Rights Amendment.

“I have a view of feminism that I’m sure you will not get at the women’s studies department,” Schlafly said jokingly.

Most other countries have many political parties, which means that no party or candidate ever gets a majority, and the wrangling continues as they try to create a coalition government. Then the counting of ballots goes on for days and even weeks. Sometimes countries change their rulers by a military coup against whomever is in power.

Powerful Lesson about Political Correctness

If you want to know what's wrong with the fad called Political Correctness, just look at what happened at Fort Hood. Political Correctness was what prevented the U.S. Army from firing, instead of promoting, the murderer Major Nidal Hasan. Weeks before his terrorist attack at Fort Hood that killed 13 people, a Defense Department review found that the doctors overseeing his medical training had repeatedly voiced concerns about Major Hasan's strident views on Islam and his inappropriate behavior, yet they continued to give him positive performance evaluations that made him eligible for promotions. When Hasan gave a lecture that was supposed to have been on psychiatry, he instead launched into a diatribe on the Koran's punishments for those whom the Muslims believe are infidels and on Islam's doctrine of warfare. Students who attended his lecture reported that Hasan suggested that the Islamic law of Shariah should trump our U.S. Constitution, and he attempted to justify suicide bombings. He spouted hatred for America even while wearing his Army uniform.

Phyllis Schlafly keynote speaker at Southwest Michigan Tea Party

KALAMAZOO — Once a month, Patti Kennedy and her friends get together to talk about the two Gs — God and government.

That’s when Kennedy, 68, can voice her frustrations about the latter — how big the government is or how high taxes are.

“It’s government greed,” she said.

On Thursday, the Vicksburg resident joined more than 200 others with similar feelings of discontent at a rally in downtown Kalamazoo’s Bronson Park.

They toted signs such as “Born Free, Taxed to Death” and “Give Us Liberty, Not Debt!” for the rally, organized by the Southwest Michigan Tea Party Patriots. Kennedy brought along a toilet that she made with cardboard boxes and masking tape — a seven hour project — to show her displeasure with “government waste.”

'Don't Tread on Me' say Tea Party supporters who are on Mall C

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- They carried signs, flew flags that said "Don't Tread on Me" and listened to speakers who delivered a message of smaller government, responsible spending and lower taxes.

A crowd or more than 400 gathered Thursday afternoon on Mall C in downtown Cleveland to support the Tea Party Tax Day rally, the second year for the event.

Signs with slogans such as "Obamacare = tax payer funded abortion = death of our future," "Go Green, Recycle Congress" and "Remember Me? I am the taxpayer?" were raised.

"God did not create us to be wards of the state," said Colleen Holmes, a former Lakewood resident who is now the executive director of Eagle Forum, a Washington, D.C.-based political-action group.

The Feds Build Databases on Americans

The U.S. Department of Education in the Obama Administration is moving rapidly to collect all kinds of personal information on public school students and enter it on a government computer database in order to track students from pre-school through their entry into the workforce. One of the four reform mandates of what President Obama calls the Race to the Top competition is to establish data systems from pre-kindergarten to college-and-career that "track progress and foster continuous improvement."

Government Collecting Private Information

Far more personal information on students than is necessary is being collected by public schools, according to the Fordham Law School Center on Law and Information Policy, which investigated education records in all 50 states. States are failing to safeguard students' privacy and protect them from data misuse. Some states collect a lot of data that have nothing to do with student test scores, including Social Security numbers, disciplinary records, family wealth indicators, student pregnancies, student mental health and illness. The building of databases that track students from pre-school through entry into the workforce began with the emphasis in the 1990s on testing and standards, and was expanded under "No Child Left Behind" mandates. This data collection has been proceeding at a "breakneck pace" under the Obama Administration because of the offer of federal grants awarded through the Race to the Top competition and the Stimulus funds.

Do Divorced Fathers Have Any Rights?

Millions of divorced parents have had their fundamental right to decide what is in the best interest of their own children taken away and given instead to a vast array of government officials such as judges, lawyers, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, child protective services, child support enforcement agents, mediators, counselors, parenting instructors, and feminist groups. The scholar Stephen Baskerville calls this a “silent revolution.” This shift began in the 1970s after the spread of unilateral divorce was followed by the creation of a giant federal child-support-enforcement bureaucracy. The notion that this mix of government officials and government-appointed advisers can dictate what is the best interest of the child rather than a child’s own parents is how the liberals and feminists are fulfilling their goal that “it takes a village (that is, the government) to raise a child.”

Understanding Illegitimacy

Teen pregnancy isn’t the story. The demise of marriage is.

The press has rushed to report a minuscule drop in “teen births” based on data released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). As usual, the mainstream media are focusing on a trivial, politically correct story while ignoring the real story buried in the data.

Here’s the real story: According to CDC, a record 40.6 percent of children born in 2008 were born outside marriage — a total of 1.72 million children. The overwhelming majority of the unwed mothers were young adults with low education levels, precisely the kind of individuals who have the greatest difficulty going it alone in our society.

Do You Know What "Card Check" Means?

I have seen a TV ad about a dozen times urging support for something called Card Check, and I wonder if most people know what that means. Card Check is a proposed federal law, now pending in Congress, to eliminate the secret ballot by which employees have the right to vote yea or nay on authorizing a union as their bargaining agent. If Congress passes this law, the secret ballot would be replaced with allowing union officials to intimidate employees into signing a card. When the union collects enough signed cards, every worker would have to join and pay dues to that union.

The Problem Is Government Unions

Older Americans may fondly remember bygone days when some labor unions played a positive role in our free economy. In the 1950s, many unions were very anti-Communist and expelled Communist agitators. Today's unions, by contrast, are organizations that promote big-government solutions to every problem. That's because the membership of powerful unions has dramatically changed.

Maine proposes unisex bathrooms

FoxNews reports:

The Maine Human Rights Commissions taking heat over a proposal to ban schools from enforcing gender divisions in sports teams, school organizations, bathrooms and locker rooms, saying forcing a student into a particular room or group because of their biological gender amounts to discrimination.

The little girls' room won't be just for little girls anymore, if the Maine Human Rights Commission has its way.

The commission is taking heat over a controversial proposal to ban schools from enforcing gender divisions in sports teams, school organizations, bathrooms and locker rooms. It says forcing a student into a particular room or group because of his or her biological gender amounts to discrimination.

The issue came to light last year when the commission ruled that, under the Maine Human Rights Act, a school had discriminated against a 12-year-old transgender boy by denying him access to the girls' bathroom.

Update: Maine has backed off:

The Maine Human Rights Commission is backing away from controversial plans to issue new guidelines for how schools should accommodate transgender students.

Commission members decided Monday to cancel a public hearing on the issue and to shelve, at least temporarily, work on a guidance document called “Sexual Orientation in Schools and Colleges.”

The Big Question: What does Stupak's retirement tell us?

Suzanne Bibby, legislative director of Eagle Forum, said:

Just before the landmark health care vote last month, our own Eagle Forum founder and president, Phyllis Schlafly, asked: "Can a politician be both pro-life and be a Democrat?" Mr. Stupak answered this question with a resounding “No” by when he cast his YES vote on the pro-abortion government-run health care bill on March 21st. In the end, Bart Stupak voted for Big Government—a big no-no for a swiftly growing number of Americans today— and what’s worse, the whole nation watched him do it. Stupak has become the poster child for the politician who will “talk the talk” but won’t “walk the walk.”

Americans have made it very clear over the past year that they are sick and tired of politicians who take one position at home to get elected, but who then turn around and do the opposite in Washington, D.C. Mr. Stupak is a prime example of such a politician, and his brand is at the top of the target list of independents, TEA Partiers, Reagan Democrats, and pro-life grassroots conservatives. This year the Silent Majority has reclaimed an active roll in politics and elections, and we can be sure that they will follow through in ousting politicians in November who couldn’t follow through last March.

The Costs of Race to the Top

Race to the Top is the name of a $4.3 billion dollar project invented by Barack Obama and to be paid for by putting our children further into debt. It is offered to the states in exchange for agreeing to let the federal government overhaul our public education system, in other words, to give control to the federal government. If awarded a big-money grant, the states will be required to scrap the education standards it is now using and replace them with standards that are currently being written by a national consortium. This will eventually lead to National Standards for public school education. Schools will have to revamp their curriculum and textbooks to make sure they match the new standards. Even if school districts are already hurting for money, they will be required to update all their technical systems in order to comply. Once the grant money is used up, taxpayers will be stuck with paying for the system in which they have no voice.

Signing Up Schoolchildren for Obama

The application explains that this national internship program is "working to make the change we fought so hard for in 2008 a reality in 2010 and beyond."

New Jersey recall battle sets up constitutional crisis

It began as an effort by the Tea Party movement to remove a United States Senator who, in their opinion, is not following the US Constitution. It has now set in motion a proceeding that puts two Constitutions on trial against each other.

The word crisis is actually the ancient Greek word for a trial in a court of law. The current case of Committee to Recall Robert Menendez from the Office of United States Senator v. Nina M. Wells and Robert F. Giles is therefore a constitutional crisis within the most literal possible meaning of that word. As The Star-Ledger (Newark), alone among major media, correctly observes, the New Jersey Supreme Court will now be asked whether part of New Jersey's constitution is unconstitutional.

Organizing Kids for Obama's Agenda

President Barack Obama's budget added more than $100 billion of federal taxpayers' money to what is called "education." That means it will be spent by men who came from the Chicago Democratic machine or were trained in the famous radical Saul Alinsky's community organizing in Chicago. They are is using the public schools to recruit a private army of high-schoolers to "build on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda." We now know that this "agenda" is to move the United States into European-style Socialism.

Our Greatest American Property Right

Since we've outsourced millions of well-paying American jobs overseas, the one asset we have to maintain our American standard of living is our innovation superiority. The United States is the world's leader in technology innovation, which is due to our private enterprise economic system, our constitutional protection of private property, and most especially our unique system of granting patents to inventors. Other countries can produce things we invent more cheaply because of the pitiful wages they pay, but other countries have a dismal record in inventing anything. Lacking expertise in innovation, some foreign countries concentrate on stealing our innovations.

Obama Establishes Council of Governors

We are repeatedly reminded that Barack Obama, for a time, taught constitutional law, but it's hard to believe he is knowledgeable abut the Constitution. He doesn't seem to understand that the U.S. Constitution established a government based on federalism, that means, our national government is limited by the powers retained by the individual states.

Transforming America

President Barack Obama has introduced an unfamiliar word into the political vocabulary: "transformation." He talks repeatedly about his desire to transform America. This word makes me nervous about our country's future. It isn't clear what he wants to transform America into. After all, a lot of us think that the United States is a great country with exceptional people who respect the Constitution as the fountainhead of the freedom and prosperity we enjoy. We wonder if the American people really want to transform us into a land where our government --
