Advocates want sexual orientation added to Clarksville's anti-discrimination policy

Via Mike Warner at Conservative Bloggers on Facebook  "The article by the Leaf Chronicle ... provided in the link below is bigoted to the extreme stating that if we are to attract the best and brightest workers we have to kowtow to their professed "preferences" as if the most talented and brightest among us must all be gay and lesbian. No one should have special status because they make any choice on any particular issue or life style. It is indeed a step backward to presume that anyone declaring anything about their personal life gives them some kind of special status."

CLARKSVILLE, TENN. — When the City Council meets for their voting session in two weeks, they’ll hear an argument for adding sexual orientation and gender identity protections to the city’s anti-discrimination policy. If added, Clarksville would be the fourth major city in Tennessee to include sexual orientation and gender identity in its non-discrimination policy. David Shelton, a local business owner who plans to speak to the City Council about the protections, said that including sexual orientation and gender identity in the discrimination policy is key for attracting the most talented workforce. “It’s a matter of making sure we are recruiting the best employees in each field,” Shelton said. “Especially since we are competing against Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville. If someone is LGBT, then they are going to look to the cities that have those policies.” Even though there haven’t been any reported incidents of discrimination based on sexual orientation against employees, Chris Sanders of the Tennessee Equality Project thinks the city should put its principles in writing.

America's divorce agreement

The following was a forward to me from a long-time friend, co-worker and supervisor. I have changed only his source since that is questionable:

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al:

We have stuck together since the late 1950's for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way.
Here is a our separation agreement:
--Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
--We don't like redistributive taxes so you can keep them.
--You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU.
--Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military.
--We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar and biodiesel.
--You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.
--We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street.
--You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens.
--We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and rednecks. --We'll keep Bill O'Reilly, and Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood .
--You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us.
--You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security.
--We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values.
--You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.
--We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find.
--You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors.
--We'll continue to believe healthcare is a luxury and not a right.
--We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."
--I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine", "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing", "Kum Ba Ya" or "We Are the World".
--We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot.
--Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely,
Many Americans

P.S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen, Barbara Streisand and( Hanoi ) Jane Fonda with you.
P.S.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country.

Cleaning Up After Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Donkey Hotey

Prof. Mike Adams "Of all the sloppy and confused decisions rendered by the Supreme Court in recent years, few compare with CLS v. Martinez (2010). The decision was more than just poorly reasoned. It was also based upon willful blindness toward factual misrepresentations by the defendants in the case. Justice Ginsburg authored an opinion she knew she could arrive at only by pretending to believe facts she knew were not true."
...."Nearly every conflict between a religious organization and a public university begins with a refusal of the group to affirm sexual practices and lifestyles that the administrators endorse. That isn't always the case but it is too often the case. Surely, my libertarian and liberal friends agree that our public universities ought not to have official positions on such private matters. But, unfortunately, they do.
"To be clear, these administrators do not simply favor toleration of alternative lifestyles. Tolerance presupposes a moral judgment they, which they refuse to offer. Instead, they use their power to make sure no one else is offering these judgments either. If any organization goes against their beliefs about sex, they simply refuse to recognize the organization."

Krauthammer; Cliff-jumping with Barack

Charles Krauthammer   "Why are Republicans playing the Democrats’ game that the “fiscal cliff” is all about taxation?

"House Speaker John Boehner already made the preemptive concession of agreeing to raise revenue. But the insistence on doing so by eliminating deductions without raising marginal rates is now the subject of fierce Republican infighting."
"Where is the other part of President Obama’s vaunted “balanced approach”? Where are the spending cuts, both discretionary and entitlement: Medicare, Medicaid and now Obamacare (the health-care trio) and Social Security?"

PAT CONDELL on ‘Islamophobia’ Awareness Month', says it's time to retire the word 'Islamophobia'

Bare Naked Islam
Classic Condell contends that “Islam is the problem and Islamphobia(sp) Awareness month should more accurately be called Islamic Cultural Terrorism Awareness Month…The concept of ‘Islamophobia’ comes from the imaginations of aggresssive(sp) Islamic supremacists who have paranoia on a permanent hair trigger and see violence as the solution to criticism.”

Of course, we mean all this in a nice way.

Part of the Problem: French Media Ducks Anti-Islam Protest  "There are numerous reasons the West is losing the war with Islam. They range from being bitten by the politically correct bug, to Muslim con artists exploiting naive and trusting infidels, to the malevolent mainstream media. Tonight we get a look at the malevolent media of France…."
