Tolerance, Marriage and the Nature of Human Sexuality

The American Culture  "For some mysterious reason in the early part of the 21^st Century what one thinks about marriage can be controversial. What every human culture believed marriage to be until just yesterday, i.e. a relationship between a man and a woman solemnified by church, state and tradition because they can have children, is now seen by our cultural elites as equal to bigotry, or at the least a benighted form of ignorance. Either believe that marriage should be redefined to make gender irrelevant, or be prepared for cultural repudiation."
...
"I’m glad I waited until today to post this piece because this morning I saw an interesting link at Real Clear Politics, “The Case for Anti-Gay Discrimination” by William Saletan at the reliably liberal Slate that proves my point: tolerance has no chance in our culture against perceived bigotry." ...

Krauthammer on Benghazi: How to do the hearings right

Charles Krauthammer "The Democrats are portraying the not-yet-even-constituted House Select Committee on Benghazi as nothing but a partisan exercise. They are even considering boycotting the hearings to delegitimize them.
"Fine. Although this would give the Obama-protective media a further reason to ignore Benghazi, it doesn’t matter. All that matters is whether the committee produces new, important facts. If it does, it will be impossible to ignore." ...
...

... "But the country deserves the truth. They’ll get it if the GOP can keep the proceedings clean, factual and dispassionate. No speeches. No grandstanding. Gowdy has got to be a tough disciplinarian — especially toward his own side of the aisle."

A photo Bill Clinton would rather not remember

... "Most days then are very good ones for Bill Clinton. Today might be an exception though — since Monica Lewinsky his one-time mistress and the person who sparked impeachment proceedings against Clinton has finally told her side of the story in a piece for Vanity Fair. “I am determined to have a different ending to my story" Lewinsky told Vanity Fair. "I’ve decided finally to stick my head above the parapet so that I can take back my narrative and give a purpose to my past.' ”

...

 

"Just don't take seriously any analyses that purport to weigh the political significance of Lewinsky’s emergence and how it may affect Hillary Rodham Clinton’s decision on pursuing a 2016 presidential run. Everything in the world of politics these days — Clinton’s speaking schedule the pregnancy of her daughter Chelsea tidal shifts unusual solar activity — is measured against the prospects of a Clinton candidacy and what it may or may not portend."

California School Asks 8th Graders To Debate Whether the Holocaust Happened

How ironic that many of these same liberals who think the Holocaust was a lie equate us climate change skeptics with being as evil as Holocaust deniers

"On the eve of the memorial Day of the Israel Defense Forces, we are the survivors from Holocaust to Revival - that's the story of our country. Watch a short film and salute the glory of Israel" (partially edited for typos)

Tablet Magazine    "The assignment materials cited Holocaust deniers, and represent a gross failure of judgment—and historical awareness"

 

"After decades spent in the sewers of anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial, I don’t horrify easily. But yesterday I learned that a school district in Rialto, California, assigned 2,000 8th-grade students to write an essay on whether or not they believe the Holocaust was “an actual event in history, or merely a political scheme.”

"Put simply, this is the greatest victory for Holocaust denial in well over a decade, if not more.

"The language of the assignment is worth reading in full:" ... Full article..

A Child's Story of the Holocaust

 

General Eisenhower Warned Us.

It is a matter of history that when the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, General Dwight Eisenhower..., found the victims of the death camps he ordered all possible photographs to be taken, and for the German people from surrounding villages to be ushered through the camps and even made to bury the dead.

He did this because he said in words to this effect:

'Get it all on record now - get the films - get the witnesses - because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened'

The UK debated whether to remove The Holocaust from its school curriculum because it 'offends' the Muslim population which claims it never occurred. It is not removed as yet.. However, this is a frightening portent of the fear that is gripping the world and how easily each country is giving into it.

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the, six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians, and 1,900 Catholic priests Who were 'murdered, raped, burned, starved, beaten, experimented on and humiliated' while many in the world looked the other way!

Now, more than ever, with Iran , among others, claiming the Holocaust to be 'a myth,' it is imperative to make sure the world never forgets. ...

Hillary's State Department Refused to Brand Boko Haram as Terrorists. Why didn't Obama override her?

The Daily Beast

 

"The State Department under Hillary Clinton fought hard against placing the al Qaeda-linked militant group Boko Haram on its official list of foreign terrorist organizations for two years. And now, lawmakers and former U.S. officials are saying that the decision may have hampered the American government’s ability to confront the Nigerian group that shocked the world by abducting hundreds of innocent girls."

Dude, Benghazi is like, so 2011

On Benghazi, the administration misled not out of necessity but out of

habit.

 

Watchdog: White House hiding more Benghazi documents  "The Obama administration continues to withhold documents that could shed light on how U.S. officials produced its false narrative that the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi arose from a non-existent protest over a video, according to a conservative watchdog group.

"The documents reveal "that the Obama administration is still refusing to provide the full details of how top officials arrived at the now-discredited talking points released to the public following the deadly assault on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi, Libya," Judicial Watch said in a statement."

Ann Coulter: Lockett & Load

Ann Coulter  "The next time liberals get indignant when we say they care more about criminals than the victims of crime, remember their hysterical weeping over Clayton Lockett....  (Tulsa World has the detailed account  and also News9)

From the Dallas Morning News

 "It’s not clear whether it took 43 minutes more for her to die, and we can’t ask her now if she suffered."

...

"This week we will review some facts about the case that The New York Times edited out of its capacious articles on Lockett. This is the information that was not fit to print. Next week, we'll discuss the death penalty, with particular reference to Clayton Lockett."
...
..."Stephanie walked in, and she, too, was beaten until she relinquished the keys to her truck. All three victims were locked in the bedroom with Bornt's infant child, while Lockett and Co. ransacked the home, pausing only to pull Hair out and gang-rape her. One of Lockett's crew orally sodomized her, then vaginally raped her. Lockett raped her vaginally, anally and orally"....
...
"These facts are not contested by Lockett, who, as he wrote in a letter from prison, "told that fool" -- the district attorney -- "I did shoot that bitch."
 ...
"This is the murderer whose recent execution has thrown liberals into deep despair."

Stephanie's parents' statement included these words:

"God blessed us with our precious daughter, Stephanie for 19 years. Stephanie loved children. She worked in Vacation Bible School and always helped with our church nativity scenes. She was the joy of our life. We are thankful this day has finally arrived and justice will finally be served."

UK Daily Mail has much more information on this. Lockett's video statement here.

Jonah Goldberg; In Defense of Capital Punishment   ... "As for humaneness, Lockett’s execution was botched — “inhumane” — in part because Oklahoma had to use a new drug regimen because death-penalty opponents had successfully lobbied the maker of a component of an earlier formula to stop making that drug available for executions."

Alan Caruba: More Obama Climate Lies

 

“ 'Throughout his entire presidency,” said Kish, “Obama has promoted policies that have discouraged the use of our vast energy resources, including blocking the Keystone XL pipeline, slowing energy development on government lands and water, and forcing new restrictions on all forms of energy that Americans have used to become the number one economy in the world. Under this administration, even cows are not spared as emission sources that must be controlled in Washington.' ”

 

 

Harry Reid: Koch Addict

Chip Bok

 

"Dana Milbank says, “The time has come to stop the denial and to admit that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has a Koch problem.” The Koch (pronounced “coke”) brothers donate millions to conservative and libertarian political causes. To Harry Reid that makes them “immoral and unAmerican. He thinks they have Republicans hooked. Here’s a link to a YouTube montage posted by Washington Free Beacon in which Reid mentions the Kochs 134 times.

"I think I’m developing a Harry Reid habit."
