Iran's Murals

This is not quite a repost of a Huffington Post article which came out yesterday. I didn't want to waste the space, but I have provided my commentary, along with photos and a link back to the source (which appears below).

IRAN'S MURALS

The Huffington Post had an interesting but boring short article yesterday about murals that were painted in major cities in Iran starting 33 years ago when they invaded the US Embassy after overthrowing the Shah. I have included two photos from the article to show you examples of those murals.

Well, sometimes one needs to worry about payback, and about a year ago, I began looking in my piles of papers for my old copy of a political editorial cartoon by Andy Donato which was published by the Toronto Sun in 1979. I tried every Internet search engine and came up with nothing which is why I began digging.

Today, after this article was published, I decided to put my crappy old copy online, but before I did, I managed to do another search and came up with a better resolution copy which I am including here.



Perhaps Osama Bin Laden should be glad that he's dead. If he wasn't, and his fellow practitioners of the "Religion of Peace" saw this next photo, they would have taken care of him themselves. Why the CIA doesn't think of stuff like this boggles the mind.

REPOST - SEXUAL INSANITY

There will be days when I will be reposting something which may have appeared elsewhere. If this occurs, I will begin the title of my post with the word REPOST and will credit the source(s) at the bottom of the article.  It should be noted that I reserve the right to edit reposts, not for editorial content, but for purposes of reducing redundancies, or to limit printed space. After all, if you don't believe what I repost is correct, you can view the source for yourselves.

There are several reasons that I use to justify a repost.

1) I determine that the information is useful and may be of value to my readers.

2) I determine that the information is insane and my readers need to see it for themselves.

3) I believe that there may be an instance when it the information may not be found and I

    leave it documented here.

4) I'm feeling lazy, or tired, or ill. Okay, I made that last one up, but you get the reasons.

New State Law?  Boys free to use Girls locker rooms.  (Your state next.)
In California a recently amended bill will soon allow boys to access the girl's locker room, bathrooms as well to play and compete on girl's sports teams.

Assembly Bill 266 has been amended to read: "A pupil shall be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs, activities, and facilities, including athletic teams and competitions, consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil's records."

"The promoters of this legislation are exploiting children's gender confusion with their proposal to let each student choose the bathroom and locker room were they most desire to be," said Karen England, Executive Director of Capitol Resource Institute. "Does anybody really believe it is a good idea for either the troubled or the tempted to be told it is up to them to decide whether they should use the boy's or the girl's bathroom?"

Al Franken

Jared Polis

 While gays, lesbians, and preverts are pushing this onto elementry school kids in California, there are over 140 Congressmen in DC trying to do the same thing in every school across America, both private and public.   Senator Al Franken (pictured above) and openly Homosexual Congressman Jared Polis (pictured below Fraken) have introduced S.555 and H.R. 998 the "Homosexual Classrooms Act" aka Student Non-Discrimination. 

The Obama Administration would make it legal for homosexuals to recruit your children starting in the first grade, with mandatory classroom lectures that normalize sin.  Educators will be required to ask your children if they are straight or gay starting in the 1st grade, and they will be able to help each child find his or her "chosen" sexuality.  At an age when most kids don't even know what sex is, they will be forced to endure pro-homosexual propaganda.  Schools that decline will lose their funding.

The Liberals are fighting this battle on every front.  Assembly Bill 266 in California started out as a common bill about sports education two years ago. Yet by adding an amendment to a two year bill the legislation avoids many of the hearings and public input requirements and much of the expected public opposition this would generate.

This is also true in DC, where Homosexuals are trying to push pro-gay bills on elementary children very quietly and without spotlight or attention. Your petitions to Congress expose their evil, and deny them any stealth ability. YOU shine the light on their dark sinful deeds.

What do Kim Jong-Il and Senator Franken have in common?  Kindergarten. Last month we witnessed the passing of Kim Jong Il.  North Korean state-run TV broadcast staged images of communist dependents openly grieving the lost of their "Dear Leader."   Then it occurred to me, there are no atheists in dictatorships. North Koreans are trained from age 6 to worship Kim Jong Il as if he were a god. When atheists resist the supernatural reality of the One True God, they must deify someone or something else to fill the void.  In North Korea they deified the Kim dynasty, his father before him Kim Il-Song, and his son after, Kim Jong-Un.  But here in America, liberals, socialists (and yes, communists) who hate God have done everything possible to kick God out of schools, banning Christmas or any mention of Jesus Christ.  This week Americans United for Separation of Church and State threatened to sue a public school in Alabama if they dare allow children to sing "Silent Night." Led by pro-homosexual Senators like Al Franken, liberals have deified sin as their god. Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) and openly homosexual Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO) now have 138 co-sponsors in the House and 38 in the Senate, to do what? To mandate nationwide "re-education" of kindergarten and first-grade children that homosexuality is normal, not a sin. No kidding. The bills are S. 555 and H.R.998, (aka the "Homosexual classrooms act") that bullies kids without permission of Christian parents, in the name of promoting sexual re-orientation in kids they wish to recruit for sinful acts. We must defeat these bills. Let's send them back to where they came from. Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum said this week in Iowa, a state where radical judges imposed homosexual 'marriage' in 2009, that he was "concerned about legalized gay marriage spilling over into lessons in the classroom." Santorum added "the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob gave us rights. And not just rights but responsibility." Santorum is responding to a very hot issue in DC and around the nation - the idea of forcing pro-homosexual propaganda down the throat  of our 1st Graders.  Before they learn to read and write, they will be taught nationwide (with your tax dollars) that it's fine to be homosexual.  Schools who refuse will be de-funded.  Before parents teach about the birds and bees, Franken and Polis will have your kids teaching YOU about homosexual sin. Bottom line:  What do Kim Jong-Il and Al Franken have in common?  They re-educate kindergarten children to worship their gods, and reject Jesus Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  I say we tell them "not my kids." Senator Al Franken bullies kids with "Homose xual Classrooms Act."  Take action! While Barney Frank (D-MA) is retiring (thank God), his replacement Senator Al Franken (D-MN) and openly homosexual Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO) are pushing to attach the "Homosexual Classrooms Act" (aka Student Non-Discrimination) to recruit our kids. According to LGBTQnation: "No Child Left Behind (2001), soon to be re-authorized after ten years in the updated Elementary and Secondary Education Re-Authorization 2011 (ESEA), made it out of committee in October 2011 without the bipartisan support it needed to include protection for LGBT students. "When the ESEA is brought to the floor of the Senate in either December or January, there is a push to attach the Student Non-Discrimination Act, HR [998] (SNDA), to it." Christian activist Linda Harvey of Mission America warns "that such anti-bullying legislation is 'using bullying prevention as a tool to force approval of homosexuality and gender bending on children, teachers and families.'" Mandatory pro-homosexual recruiting lessons to grade-school children?  Why? LGBTQnation deceives: "Currently, students are protected from bullying for: race, sex, religion, disabilities and national origin, but not sexual orientation or gender identity."   Franken agreed, saying, "It’s time that we extend equal rights to LGBT students. No student should be subjected to discrimination." Actually, kids are already protected equally from all bullying by behavior, not by motive of other kids.  The motive of the kids is irrelevant, it's the motive of the adult bullies like Al Franken that concerns me.  Just like they pushed "hate-crimes" to silence Christian preachers, Franken will now use this bill to silence kids who voice any Christian beliefs in school. The real bullies will be the pro-homosexual adults, who force first-grade kids across America to endure mandatory propaganda lectures, with perverse lessons about sexual orientation, without parental consent, and long before their parents ever discuss the topic of sex at all. Franken and Polis should keep their dirty minds and filthy hands off our kids. Do you want all kids bullied by pro-homosexual adults with government mandated lessons about gay sex?  No way!  71% of Americans oppose this bill.  Then why do 148 Reps and 34 Senators Co-Sponsor these bills to make child abusing abomination federal law? Let's take a stand for children, and stop Al Franken's pro-homosexual bullying bill. The Government should have no power to enforce the homosexual agenda, propaganda, and lifestyle on our children, period.  But right now while the Conservatives are preoccupied with Presidential debates about saving the economy, anti-Christian lawmakers like Sen. Al. Franken and Rep. Jared Polis are waging a culture war for the hearts and minds of the next generation. Al Franken's bill is S. 555 and Jared Polis' (pictured right--> the first openly gay man to be elected as a non-incumbent) bill is H.R. 998. This legislation would make it not only legal for teachers to introduce to alternative and sexually perverse lifestyles, but in fact require them to introduce kids to homosexuality without parental consent. This legislation would protect homosexual propositions and sexual advances as free speech. The legislation will EXEMPT homosexual students from any punishment if they initiate propositioning, harassing, or even sexually assaulting their classmates, as part of their specially-protected right to "freedom of self-expression." Any school that does not teach this pro-homosexual agenda will lose all federal funding. This radical homosexual agenda indoctrinates an enter generation of American children with their dream of a new America founded on sexual promiscuity, in which Jesus and traditional values are exterminated.  "And its dangerously close to passing" according to Eugene Delgaudio of the Public Advocate for the United States. What about private or religious schools?  They would be forced too.  Kevin Jennings, the President's pro-homosexual "Safe Schools Czar," stated that "every school, public, private or parochial has an obligation" to teach a pro-homosexual curriculum.  Traditional values will be outlawed as "bigotry," and speech by any Christian student will be silenced. Mr. Jennings also once said he believed that this homosexual agenda should be taught in "kindergarten, and first grade and second grade - every grade." Christian educator St. Francis Xavier once said "Give me the child until he is seven and I’ll give you the man."  This has now become Al Franken's strategy behind this legislation. If the Homosexuals can bombard our children's mind in school before they are 7, then they will have open season to recruit kids into their perverse lifestyle, and achieve their dream of a sexual promiscuous country that rivals Sodom and Gomorrah. We need to fight this!  If we don't stand up and help put the fear of God into Congress, the Senate will attach this bill, and the President will sign it into law, very soon. Let's petition. Friends, our nation's future depends upon whether we take a stand to protect children from pro-homosexual recruiters like Jared Polis and Al Franken.  They're recruiting public school kids aggressively now.  Let's take a stand today, and keep them out. God Bless you, in Jesus' name, Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt

I heard this earlier today, and liked it. Makes sense to me!

Is America Changing? I Think So But There is Hope!

In the past number of years, I have noticed a few things which is why I decided to use my writing skills in order to address, and out right battle the ignorant, who are really loudmouths who win battles here and there because most people don't want to battle these kooks. I don't care about the kooks. If I believe that my views are right, (and we all know that I am), I have nothing to be ashamed of because in the end I have truth on my side so they can all go suck on an egg, or gargle with razor blades, or whatever they wish to do. I have been attacked and in one case asked to kill myself. Okie dokie! I'll kill myself because some uncircumcised Philistine with a warped view of reality sitting in their underwear on their dad's basement computer asks me to do so. Good luck! When I go out it will be by natural causes and that will only happen when God decides that He needs me there with Him instead of here with you. I know that the reason they attack me is because they know that I am quite effective with my various posts, and that worries them. When you cannot defend your position, you resort to name calling and mockery. It's kind of like telling an ACLU lawyer that you own a copy of the Benjamin Franklin Morris book called "The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States" which I just happen to own. That book written in 1864 is like holding a cross at Dracula! 

 

First, I have noticed that there is almost a complete breakdown in civility between those who hold "religious" views of life, and those who do not. Some have described this as a "Culture War." It is a war. A war for the lives and hearts and souls of every American. It is ultimately a battle of faith against unbelief. Like most wars begin, it has been a war of words, but I believe that this war of words is escalating into possible violence. While I do not personally wish that any violence take place, the fact is that these people are growing more and more "ballsy" and since they act as wolf packs, they think they are making progress, but I have news for them. People like me are beginning to say "enough." It starts with one person, and then two, and then who knows! When you have truth on your side, you have nothing to fear.

 

Unfortunately, many Christians today don't wish to become involved in advocacy or apologetics and are content to sit in church and pray. Really? Are we not called to be warriors for God? Should we not be putting on the whole armor of God and be prepared for battle (in a spiritual sense) every single day? Well, if you are one of these church pew praying types, great! Pray for me and people like me who have taken on the mantle and the crowbar to pry closed eyes open! Better yet, act locally! My personal view regarding mission work in this day and age is that my responsibility as a Christian is to be a light to the lost. If a conversation leads to religion, I tell them the "Good News" of Jesus Christ and His plan of salvation. After that, they are on their own and I won't push "my religion" on them. They personally accept or reject the Word, and if they accept, I will guide them. If they reject, I move on. Don't beat a dead horse. It only causes animosity.

 

I've noticed that people tell me that I shouldn't "force my religion down their throats" yet these very people are quick to tell me to keep out of their bedroom, keep out of their womb, keep out of their lifestyle and their perversions, etc... Perhaps they should stop forcing their views and unbelief down OUR throats!

 

How has it come to this? We Americans have historically been understanding people, and while we have held opposing views on many issues, mostly in the political realm, I have seen a steady decline in that civility. While some blame the right, and maybe there are some on my side that take a hard line stance, I personally blame the left. (Satan plays a role too, but it's his followers that are problematic).

 

Why? Well, for the purpose of simplicity, let me use color. The right tends to be one color. Red. We may be one shade or another, but overall we are one color. The left on the other hand is many colors and don't really think as one group like the right does, but they place their differences aside, and cooperate on things they have in common, for example the destruction of my country as we have known it, so they become a solid blue color ONLY as far as the common unity to oppose the right remains the goal.

 

It's not just political. Liberalism and secular humanism has permeated our schools and universities and what were once great institutions of learning, many founded by Christians for the Glory of God have become indoctrination centers.Our children go to school and are intimidated by teachers and professors because of their places of authority, and with the help of fools who know just enough about the Bible to make them dangerous, turn many young people from God, and from the values you have tried to instill in them. It is this indoctrination that has created this atmosphere of animosity and I am placing the blame right where I believe it belongs! The mission of public education has changed. It's major focus is no longer educating our children in subject matter. Here is a something I recently came across. The main purpose of public education is not to tolerate intolerance." Did you hear that? We can tolerate the people who shoot schools up. We can tolerate the drugs and alcohol and sex, and children being born to children, and blasphemy. We can tolerate bullying (which they claim that they don't) and harassment, but boy if you say that any of those things are wrong, you are judgmental, you are a bigot, you are a sexist, you are a homophobe. You are intolerant, so YOU are the problem, and you need to accept all of those other values as your own because we cannot tolerate intolerance. Huh?! Are these people serious? Do they think that people are stupid? Well, let me rephrase that because half of the people ARE stupid and believe this crap. I don't tolerate the stupid, and the whack jobs that spew this stuff. How's that for tolerance.

 

It's not just in this area. Myself along with many others have noticed that in recent years, certain word definitions are being "changed" by those driving the agenda. (I will comment on this in the future, but will touch on it here). They are changing things to make you seem like you are the problem, and that the real problem issues are normal. The Bible call these people WICKED, and form their actions, they truly are.

 

Let's look at the most crucial and critical terms that have "changed." These words have been perverted, transformed and changed into something other than they really are and have been used to deceive the American people, and used against God and Jesus Christ and Christianity in this country.

 

First, "Relativity," and we won't include the scientific theories. Almost every student entering university says that they believe that truth is relative. There are no absolutes, there is no moral truth that is absolutely true, there's no truth of any kind that is absolutely true, and this has lead to many problems of every kind.

 

The second, is "tolerance" which means that you put up with or bear with peoples beliefs or practices or habits or lifestyles differing from or conflicting with one's own to which you disagree. The new tolerance means that not only are we to put up with or bear with other peoples views that we disagree with, but that we are to ACCEPT those views and lifestyles and beliefs to be just as valid as our own. This is being pounded into the minds of millions of students everyday, and if you don't, there are serious consequences waiting for you.

 

The last is "discrimination." Is discrimination bad, or good? If you ask people, half will say bad, the other have will say good. Let's look at the word, since the word is "changing." The fact of the matter is that both are right. Discrimination simply means "to distinguish between several things, usually similar. Now racial discrimination is viewed as wrong, as is gender and age discrimination, but the word has been taken and smeared into areas where it never was intended. Now they want to take it to mean everything, good and evil. The difference between Barbarism and Civilization is discrimination. It is between the bad and the good, not the black and the white, the old and the young, the male and the female, it is the GOOD and the EVIL and the difference to discern between the two is what makes civilization. When that ability is lost or pounded into the mud as it is being done to students daily in the schools, our society will degrade back into the jungle.

 

This is why Christians need to get off of the bleachers and start getting involved, because there may be laws passed which may have serious consequences for you or your home and your family coming down the pike. Politicians are being pressured by the godless right now. Professor Leslie Amour a philosopher professor at the University of Ottawa has said that "Our idea of a virtuous citizen is someone who tolerates everything except intolerance." Apparently he doesn't know that it has been historically held for the past 4,000 years that a virtuous citizen is a person who believes in God, believes in morality, who disbelieves in immorality and ungodliness, and who lives a life of virtue and morality and does his best to maintain these things in the society in which he lives. Not any longer. Not this virtuous citizen may be a criminal, he may be an alcoholic or a drug addict, he may be a thief, he may be a pervert or a child molester, he may be any of these things, but as long as he is tolerant and objects to intolerance, he is alright. It has been said that the last virtue of a degenerating population is tolerance. When people no longer live up to any of the moral values that made society great, the last value they hold on to is tolerance, and demand that everybody tolerate their wickedness, and they will tolerate yours.

 

Things are going to change, but you need to involve yourself before it is too late. I encourage you to become active if you are not. Signing some online petition does little, but engaging the nuts in civil discourse works wonders. It really upsets them when you back your arguments with the legal standard which is by footnoting facts. They use the academic standard which usually means "Professor so and so said this about such and such." Give them facts, and watch the vein in their head start to get big.

6th Circuit Court says 'Tolerance is a two-way street'

SOURCE: OneNewsNow.com
Court: 'Tolerance is a two-way street'
Jody Brown, Charlie Butts, and Bob Kellogg - OneNewsNow - 1/27/2012 11:30:00 AM
http://www.onenewsnow.com/Legal/Default.aspx?id=1524394

The Sixth Circuit has ruled in favor of Christian graduate student Julea Ward, who almost three years ago was expelled from a university counseling program for her religious beliefs.

In a strongly worded opinion earlier today, the Sixth U.S. Circuit of Appeals reversed a district court decision in favor of Eastern Michigan University, sending it back for trial along with this message: "A reasonable jury could conclude that Ward's professors ejected her from the counseling program because of hostility toward her speech and faith ...."

As part of her counseling practicum course in early 2009, Ward had been assigned a potential client who was homosexual and was seeking affirmation of that sexual orientation. Because she was unwilling to violate her own religious beliefs in the context of the counseling relationship, Ward was permitted to refer the client to another counselor -- but was told to remain in the counseling program she would have to undergo a "remediation" program that would help her "see the error of her ways."

When Ward refused, a faculty committee dismissed her from the program. In her subsequent lawsuit, a district federal court ruled in favor of EMU -- a ruling that has now been reversed.

"A university cannot compel a student to alter or violate her belief systems based on a phantom policy as the price for obtaining a degree ...," wrote the Sixth Circuit. "Why treat Ward differently? That her conflict arose from religious convictions is not a good answer; that her conflict arose from religious convictions for which the department at times showed little tolerance is a worse answer."

The court continued: "Ward was willing to work with all clients and to respect the school's affirmation directives in doing so. That is why she asked to refer gay and lesbian clients (and some heterosexual clients) if the conversation required her to affirm their sexual practices. What more could the rule require? Surely, for example, the ban on discrimination against clients based on their religion (1) does not require a Muslim counselor to tell a Jewish client that his religious beliefs are correct if the conversation takes a turn in that direction and (2) does not require an atheist counselor to tell a person of faith that there is a God if the client is wrestling with faith-based issues. Tolerance is a two-way street. Otherwise, the rule mandates orthodoxy, not anti-discrimination."

Ward was represented by Alliance Defense Fund. ADF attorney Jeremy Tedesco tells OneNewsNow that the school was obviously hostile to Ward's faith:


"The university's reaction was [to] put her up on disciplinary charges for doing it, and through the course of her disciplinary proceedings to attack and denigrate her religious beliefs," Tedesco explains. "They took her on a self-styled 'theological bout' where they attacked her understanding of scripture. They asked her whether her 'brand' of Christianity was superior to that of other Christians and various things -- [all of which] shows that what was really going on was they did not like her religious beliefs."

The school, says Tedesco, was way out of line. He contends EMU would argue that Ward tried to change her client's views regarding homosexual behavior.


"That's not true," the attorney says. "She asked to refer the client because of a values conflict -- and the court very clearly said ... that's not trying to impose your values on somebody, that's just trying to avoid a violation of your own conscience.


"And the court went on to further recognize that it was really the university here that had a problem with Julea Ward's beliefs and who were trying to impose their own views on Julea."

The case now goes back to the lower court.

What do you believe?

Working on a blog demands that you do a lot of reading, and in doing so you come across things that make you wonder if people have all of their marbles. The belief in God for example. Some people beliieve that we came from nothing. Like the watchmaker theory.

Those who beleive in God, think of Him as a watchmaker who put everything together in order for everything to work. Those who do not believe in God think that the watch pieces were always there, and somehow by some mystical power assembled themselves to become the watch.

What do you believe? Here are some images I found regarding the two thoughts.

I accept the Christianity one because it requires less imagination when taken for it's fact as opposed to the godless "interpretation" of those facts.
