Quote: 

 

Samuel Adams in the Boston Gazette
Date: April 16, 1781

Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual - or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.

But what IS nullification? How does it happen and work? Since September 2010, the Tenth Amendment Center has been hosting a national tour to educate and activate people on this topic.

Remember January 3rd, 2007 The Day The Democrats Took Over!

I wonder how many people know this?
 
The day the Democrats took over was not January 22nd 2009 -- it was actually January 3rd 2007. The day the Democrats took over the House of Representatives & Senate, the start of the 110th Congress.

The Democratic Party controlled a majority in both chambers for the first time since the end of the 103rd Congress in 1995.

"For those of you who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault," think about this:

January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress:

At the time:
The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77
The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5%
The Unemployment rate was 4.6%

George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB CREATION!

Remember the day.

The Case Against Obamacare: Health Care Policy Series for the 112th Congress

A Health Care Policy Series for the 112th Congress

Building on decades of Heritage research, The Case Against Obamacare: A Health Care Policy Series for the 112th Congress examines 15 key provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Each report:

   

  • Cites specific sections of the 2,700-page health care law
  • Provides detailed analysis of specific Obamacare provisions
  • Identifies key principles for a better way to reform health care

The unmistakable conclusion of this series is that Obamacare must be fully repealed. Congress cannot build sound market-based health care reform on the flawed foundation of this health care law. Until it can be repealed, Congress must employ its full powers authorized by the Constitution to:

RedState Morning Briefing

For December 29, 2011

 

1. Ted Kennedy Prepared Barack Obama's Attack Ads

In 1994, Ted Kennedy ran against Mitt Romney. Romney ran on his jobs record in the private sector. Sound familiar? Well, get ready for Barack Obama's ad campaign against Mitt Romney. Ted Kennedy already produced the ads and I've got them.

We're going to hear about Bain Capital taking federal bailout money. We'll hear the tales of woe from people Mitt Romney ordered laid off.

Yes, you can say we'll hear all the same stuff about Barack Obama, but every poll shows voters still do not connect Barack Obama to his policies. Policies are esoteric things. The people in these ads, however, connect their firings to Mitt Romney.

The ads are below the fold. If you don't see them here, you'll see them on the campaign trail once Romney is the nominee.

Oh, and in addition to campaign ads featuring every person every laid off on orders from Mitt Romney, you'll also get to see his house in Utah, his stone cottage, and his Belmont home.

The closest equivalent to Campaign 2012 with Barack Obama running against Mitt Romney won't be found in the recent era. You'll have to go all the way back to France, 1793, and the campaign of Robespierre against Marie Antoinette.

Talk about a bloody political season.

Please click here for the rest of the post.

2. Yesterday, December 28, 2011, Mitt Romney Calls Obamacare "Conservative"

This isn't a flash back. This is yesterday. Mitt Romney is again declaring the foundation of Obamacare, the individual mandate, "conservative."

To be sure, it is conservative that one takes responsibility for their own healthcare. But the conservative solution is not to force Americans to buy a product. Forcing Americans, through penalty of law, into purchasing or refraining from purchasing a product is not and will never be conservative.

What's conservative? Well, if the person doesn't want insurance, don't let them get out of paying their medical bills through bankruptcy. But forcing them to buy insurance? Not only is it not conservative, we can see in Massachusetts that health care costs have continued to go up as has the cost of government.

So not only is Mitt Romney's plan not conservative, it does not even work.

Please click here for the rest of the post.

3. No Surprise, Iowa Social Conservatives Are About To Shoot Us All in the Foot Again

I'm hearing several campaigns and external pollsters have a surge for Rick Santorum. With the National Review folks fawning over him again, it probably means a surge is real and any surge by Rick Santorum is another factor ensuring Mitt Romney wins the nomination. (To be fair, this doesn't look like real momentum)

Santorum has no money or organization outside of Iowa and cannot win the nomination, but Iowans love a guy who sucks up to them and makes sure they know he loves the babies.

As a pro-lifer myself, I have to throw up a bit in my mouth that Iowa conservatives are seriously considering Rick Santorum, which will only help Mitt Romney, a guy who even after his supposedly heartfelt conversion to life put some seriously pro-abortion judges on the Massachusetts bench hiding behind the "Well it was Massachusetts for Pete's sake" defense.

5. The Colorado Model & The Left's Stratagem For Turning Red States to Blue

Although it's being deployed in several states like Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and others, there are still many who have never heard of the Colorado Model. What's worse, despite all the Left's bemoaning of the "vast right wing conspiracy," Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, or whatever enemy they can dream up, there is still nothing like the Colorado Model on the Right.

The Unity and Beauty of the Declaration and the Constitution


An Interview with Larry P. Arnn  

LARRY P. ARNN, the twelfth president of Hillsdale College, received his B.A. from Arkansas State University and his M.A. and Ph.D. in government from the Claremont Graduate School. From 1977 to 1980, he also studied at the London School of Economics and at Worcester College, Oxford University, where he served as director of research for Martin Gilbert, the official biographer of Winston Churchill. From 1985 until his appointment as president of Hillsdale College in 2000, he was president of the Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy. In 1996, he was the founding chairman of the California Civil Rights Initiative, the voter-approved ballot initiative that prohibited racial preferences in state employment, education, and contracting. He is the author of Liberty and Learning: The Evolution of American Education and The Founders' Key: The Divine and Natural Connection Between the Declaration and the Constitution and What We Risk By Losing It (forthcoming February 2012).

The following is adapted from an interview by Peter Robinson of the Hoover Institution for his show "Uncommon Knowledge." The interview took place on October 3, 2011, at Hillsdale College, and it can be viewed in full at hoover.org/multimedia/uncommon-knowledge/96901.

 

Peter Robinson: Larry, I am quoting from you: "You can read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution in a few minutes. They are simple. They are beautiful. They can be understood and retained." Place the documents in their historical context. Why did they matter?

Larry P. Arnn: There are three incredible things to keep in mind about the Declaration. First, there had never been anything like it in history. It was believed widely that the only way to have political stability was to have some family appointed to rule. King George III went by the title "Majesty." He was a nice and humble man compared to other kings; but still, when his son wanted to marry a noble of lower station, he was told he mustn't do that, no matter what his heart said. That was the known world at the time of the American Founding.

 

Second, look at the end of the Declaration. Its signers were being hunted by British troops. General Gage had an order to find and detain them as traitors. And here they were putting their names on a revolutionary document and sending it to the King. Its last sentence reads: "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." That is how people talk on a battlefield when they are ready to die for each other.

 

The third thing about the Declaration is even more extraordinary in light of the first two: It opens by speaking of universal principles. It does not portray the Founding era as unique-"When in the Course of human events" means any time-or portray the Founding generation as special or grand-"it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another" means any people. The Declaration is thus an act of obedience-an act of obedience to a law that persists beyond the English law and beyond any law that the Founders themselves might make. It is an act of obedience to the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," and to certain self-evident principles-above all the principle "that all men are created equal" with "certain unalienable Rights."

No. 362 of 365

Quote Teddy Roosevelt:

"A gentleman told me recently that he doubted I would vote for the Angel Gabriel if found at the head of the Democratic Party, to which I responded that the Angel Gabriel would never be found in such company. Speaking quite dispassionately, and simply as a historian, the Democrats can be trusted invariably to walk in the darkness even when to walk in the light would be manifestly to their advantage."

Soros' Latest Israel Project

If you have been seeing coverage of gender segregation issues in Israel then you may not be aware that you are actually seeing another Soros project in motion. The name of the game, as usual, is divide and conquer. Soros funded NGO's embed themselves into a society and leverage its weakness to create confrontations that empower its activists and agendas.

While Israel does have neighborhoods in Jerusalem where a few Anti-Zionist cults practice their own form of intimidation and thuggery (if you have seen men in black protesting outside Israeli events, then you have seen some of these people at work) this particular crisis is the work of Soros funded NGO's who have their own agenda, and it isn't gender equality or women's rights.

Soros' money helps fund the New Israel Fund, a radical anti-Israel group operating inside the country which serves as the mothership of smaller left-wing Israeli organizations targeting demographic groups and organizing them under the umbrella of its movement.

In the following video, Rachel Liel, the executive director of the New Israel Fund, talks fairly openly about the New Israel Fund's goals and its shift in tactics from funding confrontations between religious and secular Jews, to funding internal confrontations among religious Jews.

Mercy in the style of the "Religion of Peace"; diplomacy in the style of Barack Obama

Dec 28, 2011 05:13 am | Coach Collins

By Kevin "Coach" Collins

Barack Obama and his State Department who cheered the success of the "Arab Spring" revolutions in the Middle East over this past year should be made to explain the latest example of "mercy" as practiced by Islam "the religion of peace."

In 2006 an Iranian woman was tried and convicted of committing adultery. She was sentenced to death by stoning which is the way strict adherents to Islamic laws demand such people ought to be executed. Soon after the sentence was handed down, the woman's execution was put on hold because "foreign governments and human rights groups" appealed to the Iranians for some relief for her.

Now to show how reasonable and modern they are, the Iran Islamists who don't execute murderers, are studying their laws to see if they can substitute hanging her instead of stoning her to death. This is the essence of "negotiations" when Islamists are on the opposite side of ... Continue Reading:Mercy in the style of the "Religion of Peace"; diplomacy in the style of Barack Obama

By Bill Federer, staff writer

    An attack of smallpox when he was four-years-old left him with crippled hands and poor eyesight.
Overcoming those handicaps, he studied Copernicus' works and at age 23 became a professor of astronomy. His name was Johannes Kepler, born DECEMBER 27, 1571.
His laws of planetary motion, known as Kepler's Laws, helped Newton formulate the theory of gravity.
In his work, "The Harmonies of the World," book five, Kepler stated:
"O, Almighty God, I am thinking Thy thoughts after Thee!...
The book is written, to be read either now or by posterity, I care not which.
It may be well to wait a century for a reader, as God has waited six thousand years for an observer."
In comparing celestial orbits of the planets with polyphonic harmonies in music, Kepler wrote:
"Holy Father, keep us safe in the concord of our love for one another, that ... Continue Reading:American Minute December 27

Who killed the phrase "Merry Christmas"?: a schizophrenic felon and Al Sharpton did!

Dec 27, 2011 01:13 pm | Coach Collins

By Kevin "Coach" Collins

 This year those of us who cherish the phrase "Merry Christmas" have started to say "Merry Christ-mas" to reinsert the name Christ into the greeting. Here's a reminder of how we started to lose "Merry Christmas" 40 years ago.

On the day before Christmas in 1971 the New York Times ran an article about a new "holiday" called Kwanzaa that was invented by an America hating Black separatist named Ron Everett. Everett now uses the made up "African" name Maulana Ron Karenga to show the world he wants nothing to do with White America.

That Mr. Karenga was in a California prison doing a one to ten year stretch for illegally imprisoning and maiming two Black women he thought were plotting to kill him meant nothing to the Times. They didn't want to talk about how their new hero had been certified as a paranoid schizophrenic by a court, so they ...

L'Institut d'Égypte - In Memoriam

by Daniel Pipes
December 26, 2011
Cross-posted from National Review Online

http://www.danielpipes.org/blog/2011/12/linstitut-degypte-in-memorium

Title page of the first volume of the Description de l'Égypte (1809).

Founded in 1798 by the scientists accompanying Napoleon on his invasion of Egypt and author of the monumental 20-volume Description de l'Égypte (1809-28), L'Institut d' Égypte was burned down on Dec. 17 by crowds rampaging in the vicinity of the National Assembly building.

Remarkably for a learned institution, its doors were open to the public to meander and imbibe, though few did. During my three-year residency in Cairo in the 1970s, it served as a place of refuge, when the city was too much with me, as well as a regular destination for my foreign visitors. I treasured this little-known gem for its library of 200,000 volumes focused on Egypt, its symbol as the capstone of Orientalist learning in Egypt, its evocation of a different and better era, and the quietude it offered in a city with few such oases.

And now the barbarians came and destroyed it with a Molotov Cocktail. The walls still stand but the building is gutted, its invaluable contents burnt.

Comments: (1) This attack brings to mind a host of prior acts of destruction of historical monuments in Egypt, including the medieval defacement of the Sphinx and the Cairo arson of 1952. Outside Egypt, assaults coming right to mind include the Muslim destruction of Hindu temples in India, the Turkish destruction of churches in northern Cyprus, the Palestinian sacking of the Tomb of Joseph, the Taliban destruction of the Bamiyan Buddha, the Iraqi pillaging of museums, libraries, and archives, the Saudi destruction of antiquities in Mecca, and the Malaysia destruction of an historic Hindu temple. This barbarism, in other words, fits into a larger pattern. What is it about Muslims and history? As this listing suggests, too many of them hate not only what is non-Islamic but even their own heritage

The carcass of L'Institut d'Égypte.

(2) The former minister of state for antiquities affairs, Zahi Hawass, campaigned for the return of the country's treasures. I vote against that. Better they be safe where they are than exposed to the fury of modern-day Egyptians, especially given that Egypt's mufti recently ruled against the private display of statues, a possible first step toward a state-sanctioned destruction of Egyptian antiquities. In addition, observers rightly worry that the incomparable Egyptian Museum may be targeted next. (December 26, 2011)

Full text: bin Laden's 'letter to America'

Online document: the full text of Osama bin Laden's "letter to the American people", reported in today's Observer. The letter first appeared on the internet in Arabic and has since been translated and circulated by Islamists in Britain.
 

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

"Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory" [Quran 22:39]

 

"Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan."[Quran 4:76]

 

Some American writers have published articles under the title 'On what basis are we fighting?' These articles have generated a number of responses, some of which adhered to the truth and were based on Islamic Law, and others which have not. Here we wanted to outline the truth - as an explanation and warning - hoping for Allah's reward, seeking success and support from Him.

 

While seeking Allah's help, we form our reply based on two questions directed at the Americans:

The Arab-Muslim Lobby

Laura: We hear all the time about the Israel lobby and its supposed omnipotent powers controlling the US and other western governments. In reality of course, it is the vast insidious Arab-muslim-oil lobby which has a chokehold on western governments, dictating its Mideast policies. How else have we come to a situation in which an invented "palestinian" people claim that the ancient homeland of the Jewish people really belongs to them and that the Jews are colonialist occupiers, and the world simply accepts this preposterous claim? Why else would the world be demanding the creation of a 22nd Arab state, a 57th muslim state and a second Arab-muslim state in mandatory Palestine out of land to be taken away from the sole, tiny Jewish state? And this injustice against the Jewish people we are told is a fair, just and equitable solution. Whenever you hear people in the media, academia and former diplomats ranting against an insidious Israel lobby, chances are that they...

Why Hamas Wants To Join the PLO

by Khaled Abu Toameh, HUDSON NY December 27, 2011

Hamas's decision to join the PLO is seen by some Western analysts and governments as a sign that the Islamist movement is headed toward "moderation" and "pragmatism."

But in 2012, if the agreement with Abbas is implemented, Hamas will take control over the PLO.

Hamas is joining the PLO not because it has changed, but out of a desire to make the Fatah-dominated organization stick to its true mission: the liberation of Palestine from Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea - in other words, all the land that is currently Israel - and to achieve the "right of return" for Palestinian refugees to their original villages and homes inside Israel.

Once Hamas takes control over the PLO, it will seek to cancel all agreements and understandings reached between the organization and Israel, above all the 1993 Oslo Accords. Hamas also wants the PLO to withdraw its recognition of...

Obama's disasterous record

Gateway Pundit 

Bill Whittle recaps Barack Obama's disastrous record in his final "Afterburner" lecture of the year.

 

Whittle is not shy with his critique of the worst president of the modern era. He is especially hard on Obama in regards to his Fast and Furious program where Bill says,

"He claimed that US guns were fueling the Mexican drug cartel violence. When he was publicly shamed to realizing that that wasn't true, I personally am convinced, he ordered his justice department to make it true. Operation Fast and Furious has cost literally hundreds of Mexican lives but that seems a small price to pay in order to prove a point."

If you or someone you know has any doubt about Barack Obama's disastrous record these past three years, please have them review this video.

In his last Afterburner of 2011, Bill Whittle takes a look at the state of this country three years into Obama's rule and has amassed a list of breathtaking failures bound to stun and/or depress champions...

Ron Paul's Antisemitism Exposed

Laura: Those who actually believe or pretend to believe that Ron Paul is not an antisemite but simply opposed to foreign aid and is merely an isolationst who opposes any intervention in foreign affairs, this should remove all doubt. To his hard core followers this won't matter because it is what they believe about Jews and Israel as well. One doesn't have to actually utter a slur to be a bigot. The fact that Paul opposes Israel's very existence and thinks all of the Jewish state should be "returned" to the Arabs makes him an antisemite. The Jews returned to the land what was stolen from them by the Arab muslims. Not only is Paul an antisemite but he is ignorant of history.

Rep. King on Georgia woman's death

Monday, December 26, 2011

Andy Field, Eyewitness News

MARIETTA, Georgia (WABC) -- A deadly police shooting in Georgia has a local connection.

Cops killed a woman accused of sending threatening packages to local lawmakers in New York.

Lawmakers get a lot of threats in the mail, but these threats seemed straight out of mobster movie: one congressman received a bloody severed pig's foot.

Homeland Security says these threats are a problem that's not going away.

The story ended in Marietta, Georgia. Police responded to an alarm, and when they knocked on an apartment door, the woman inside attacked them.

Police shot and killed her.

The woman was 53-year-old Jameela Barnette.

The post office said that she had sent threatening packages to New York State Senator Greg Ball, and Long Island Congressman and Homeland Security Committee Chair Peter King.

"After I held hearings on Islamic radicalization, I received a bloody pig's foot. It was actually sent to my Washington office and intercepted by the postal authorities in Baltimore. Then, they tracked it back to this woman in Marietta, Georgia," Rep. Peter King said.

Kings' Islamic radicalization hearings took a lot of heat last spring.

American Muslims, including the one shot in Georgia, said King was calling all Muslims radical despite the majority that love this country and obey the law.

King says that's not so.

"There is no Islamaphobia in this country, any more than there is anti-Christian or any other. There is so much exaggeration by radical Muslims in the media," King said.

The Georgia woman had sent New York State Senator Greg Ball a package containing a hate filled letter, a perfume vial and a toy monkey with the Star of David on it.

It forced State Police to close his office for a while.

Eyewitness News could not reach Ball for comment.

Congressman King says despite killing Osama bin Laden and other terror leaders, threats from that woman and others are becoming a growing problem.

"This is as dangerous now as it ever was, it's a different kind of enemy, and it's not a large centralized al Qaida. Its individual cells, its lone wolves, and its people who are being radicalized over the internet," King said.

Congressmen King says Homeland Security must do a better job with homegrown threats now that the U.S. has eliminated many of al Qaida's leaders.

Yes, Virginia, There is a God
By Timothy Birdnow
CanadaFreePress.com
 

Love - that is the one thing we all want, the one truly universal human impulse. Not just human; even animals seek it. Love is perhaps more real than the material we find so important in our journey through this world. And love cannot be explained by material things. Try as they might, materialists can find no physical explanation for real love. Love seems anathema to this world, too; the law of the jungle, kill-or-be-killed, Darwinian evolution, all stem from a loveless premise, a selfishness. And while many people are selfish indeed, that is not at all what they ultimately seek; often their thirst for love leads them to their selfish ways. Santa Claus is so cherished because he embodies love. Yet Santa is but a dull reflection of God who is love at it's purest. Santa merely gives children toys; God gives us life, nurtures us in our sojourn in this world, and grants us salvation. In the end, most religions believe there is a paradise awaiting, and to the Christian that paradise is a free gift from God. To get there God Himself had to reach out, become one of us, suffer, and die a horrible death. The sacrifice of the Son of God was so supreme, the ultimate act of love. And Santa gives gifts on the birthday of Jesus, as a small token of thanks, an act of remembrance.

America as a Totalitarian Dictatorship
By Ray Peach

Since my first deployment to South East Asia, I have seen this great country gradually slip away. America has gone from being the world's greatest creditor nation, standing as a beacon of hope for the world, to the world's biggest debtor nation, where 42 million Americans rely on food stamps to survive. All of this prompted me to write a book, where I detail how this all came about, and how America will end. This isn't some conspiracy theory, it is happening right now in front of us. Like it or not, America is a Totalitarian Dictatorship, and this article will help you understand why.

Conservative of the Year - Paul Ryan
by Lawrence Kudlow
HumanEvents.com

The editors of HUMAN EVENTS are proud to name Rep. Paul Ryan as "Conservative of the Year" for 2011. The Wisconsin Republican was a favorite from the very beginning of the nomination process, not only with our editorial board but with our readers as well, for his relentless commitment to proposing bold, free-market reforms to rein in an out-of-control, ever-expanding government that is destroying the American economy. Despite the left's vicious and unfounded attacks, Paul Ryan has pursued an agenda of limiting Washington's control over our private property and the decisions we make, while eloquently arguing that true way out of poverty is through the benevolence of capitalist pursuits, not through the confiscatory paws of government bureaucrats. And who better to profile Ryan's indefatigable journey than eminent financial columnist and popular television host Lawrence Kudlow. Congratulations, Paul Ryan.    Read the Full Story

In communism, the entire labor force is unionized. It is in the best interest of unions to promote communism since union membership in this country is down to single digits and not likely to rebound.

The Most Dangerous Bill in Congress: SOPA

"We're from the government, and we're here to help you." When you hear these words, run for the hills and take your possessions with you. When the government steps into to fix a problem where there is no problem, you can bet that the new law will be used by some to do things that it was never intended to do.

SOPA (Stop Online Privacy Act), also known as H.R. 3261, could end free speech on the internet, all in the name of protecting us from the nebulously defined on-line piracy problem. Sounds like a noble idea until you realize that if passed, a new government enforcement agency will be established, funded by tax dollars, and filled with government bureaucrats who will have to justify their existence by investigating complaints from every malcontent trolling the internet with a copyright claim.

The originally proposed bill would allow the U.S. Department of Justice [headed by the friend of the Black Panthers, Eric 'Fast and Furious' Holder], as well as copyright holders, to seek court orders against websites accused of enabling or facilitating copyright infringement. Depending on who requests the court orders, the actions could include barring online advertising networks and payment facilitators such as PayPal from doing business with the allegedly infringing website, barring search engines from linking to such sites, and requiring Internet service providers to block access to such sites. The bill would make unauthorized streaming of copyrighted content a crime, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison for 10 pieces of music or movies within six months. The bill also gives immunity to Internet services that voluntarily take action against websites dedicated to infringement, while making liable for damages any copyright holder who knowingly misrepresents that a website is dedicated to infringement.

Only One Candidate Is Right On The Two Most Important Issues


In the upcoming presidential election, two issues are more important than any others: repealing Obamacare and halting illegal immigration. If we fail at either one, the country will be changed permanently.

Taxes can be raised and lowered. Regulations can be removed (though they rarely are). Attorneys general and Cabinet members can be fired. Laws can be repealed. Even Supreme Court justices eventually die.


But capitulate on illegal immigration, and the entire country will have the electorate of California. There will be no turning back.

  • Seeks to to transform America into a more "equitable, multicultural society" by implementing "social justice" education in K-12 schools



Founded in 1990, Teaching for Change (TFC) is an organization that seeks to turn K-12 schools into "centers of justice where students learn to read, write, and change the world." Moreover, it aims to transform America into a more "equitable, multicultural society" populated with "active global citizens."

Toward these ends, TFC's Early Childhood Equity Initiative (ECEI) sponsors professional seminars designed "to develop leaders in early childhood education," both in metro DC and nationwide. Proceeding from the premise that the United States is a country rife with racism and discrimination against nonwhite minorities, this Initiative "embrace[s] an anti-racism/anti-oppression approach" that promotes "curricul[a], environments, programs, policies and standards that are equitable, culturally-responsive and linguistically consistent with the diverse communities served by our profession." Rejecting the notion that foreign-born immigrants should subordinate their own cultural practices and mores to those of the U.S., ECEI "promote[s] the principle of pluralism" which "embrac[es] the uniqueness and value of all cultures" and "incorporat[es]" each participant's "native/home language into [the] curriculum." The Initiative also places emphasis on environmental concerns, urging "the use of recycled materials" as one of numerous avenues toward the promotion of "social equity."

Another TFC initiative is its Parent Organizing Program (POP), which features a "Roving Readers" campaign offering "grandparents, parents and friends" an opportunity to read-in both English and Spanish-to local schoolchildren in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. POP also oversees the Cross City Parent Leadership Initiative, which sponsors retreats, workshops, and onsite coaching sessions to help "parent coordinators and parent leaders ... gain the tools and support they need to facilitate effective family-school programs
at their schools and learn organizing skills."

Mark Steyn: An upside-down family tree

    
By MARK  STEYN

By MARK STEYN

Syndicated columnist

letters@ocregister.com

Our lesson for today comes from the Gospel according to Luke. No, no, not the manger, the shepherds, the wise men, any of that stuff, but the other birth:

 

"But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John."


That bit of the Christmas story doesn't get a lot of attention, but it's in there - Luke 1:13, part of what he'd have called the back story, if he'd been a Hollywood screenwriter rather than a physician. Of the four gospels, only two bother with the tale of Christ's birth, and only Luke begins with the tale of two pregnancies. Zacharias is surprised by his impending paternity - "for I am an old man and my wife well stricken in years."  

Nonetheless, an aged, barren woman conceives and, in the sixth month of Elisabeth's pregnancy, the angel visits her cousin Mary and tells her that she, too, will conceive. If you read Luke, the virgin birth seems a logical extension of the earlier miracle - the pregnancy of an elderly lady. The physician-author had no difficulty accepting both. For Matthew, Jesus' birth is the miracle; Luke leaves you with the impression that all birth - all life - is to a degree miraculous and God-given.


 

We now live in Elisabeth's world - not just because technology has caught up with the deity and enabled women in their fifties and sixties to become mothers, but in a more basic sense. The problem with the advanced West is not that it's broke but that it's old and barren. Which explains why it's broke. Take Greece, which has now become the most convenient shorthand for sovereign insolvency - "America's heading for the same fate as Greece if we don't change course," etc. So Greece has a spending problem, a revenue problem, something along those lines, right? At a superficial level, yes. But the underlying issue is more primal: It has one of the lowest fertility rates on the planet. In Greece, 100 grandparents have 42 grandchildren - i.e., the family tree is upside down. In a social democratic state where workers in "hazardous" professions (such as, er, hairdressing) retire at 50, there aren't enough young people around to pay for your three-decade retirement. And there are unlikely ever to be again.

There is no way the Republicans can nominate "Racist Ron" Paul to run against this countries first black president, not with those newsletters out there. 


Let's start at the top. We all know the Democrats are going to play the "race card" against whoever the Republicans nominate. Count on it. Now imagine this scenario, heading our ticket is a candidate whose newsletter said this about Ronald Reagan(for giving Martin Luther a holiday), "We can thank him for our annual Hate Whitey day". Or how about this little nugget of wisdom, "Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5 percent of blacks have sensible political opinions."  You might as well hand Nancy Pelosi her gavel back, because the stench from being identified with this lowlife is going to cause the Republicans to get decimated in every congressional race, as well as get Obama reelected.

Presidential candidate Ron Paul hauled in a nice chunk of change over the last three months (Boston Globe), due in part to his opposition to the liberation of Iraq and in part due to his loud fealty to the Constitution - and his supposed refusal to support any government spending or regulation that goes beyond its enumerated powers.

 

His supporters might be shocked to know that, in Paul's mind, "constitutional government" includes de facto price controls on prescription drugs. Three links from National Review Online provide the details on the House Democratic plan. and here, in Roll Call 23, is Ron Paul's "Yes" vote.

So, in Ron Paul's' mind, Saddam Hussein isn't nearly as dangerous as pharmaceutical companies - and more to the point, neither is intrusive government.

 

Constitutional government, my foot.

Ron Paul's Poisonous Partisans

By Larry Bailey

Some of Ron Paul's most avid (some say "rabid") supporters are not friends of America.  The Marxist group "Code Pink" are frequent and vociferous supporters of the good congressman, as are "Iraq Veterans against the War," a Soros-funded group that is sometimes violently opposed to any American intervention overseas, no matter how justified it may be.

 

Code Pink, headed up by Medea Benjamin, shows up at any anti-American gathering that happens to have media (no pun intended) coverage scheduled.  That organization is frequently joined by IVAW in its pursuit of America-bashing.

Now, Rep. Paul cannot be held totally responsible for who attends his rallies and who organizes his Iowa Straw Poll effort, but the public should not be kept in the dark about who it is that has become so close to the congressman.

 

I first met one of the most visible of the Code Pink/IVAW crowd about three years when Gathering of Eagles, a pro-troop organization I nominally chair, organized a counter-demonstration against a protest planned by CP/IVAW in front of the U.S. Army Recruiting Station on 14th Street in Washington, D.C. They were, of course, shouting anti-Iraq War slogans and doing their best to offer photo ops and interviews to D.C.'s credulous media.  One young man in particular got my attention, as he seemed to be the "patrol leader" of the "military" element.

It turns out that this fellow, one Adam Kokesh, was indeed an Iraq veteran (a Marine) with a beef.  It is impossible to know when he turned against the Iraq War, but his passion was not diminished when he was "busted" for bringing a pistol to the States when he rotated home.

 

Even then his reputation could have emerged relatively unscathed had he cooperated with the USMC officer tasked to investigate his case.  Instead, he refused to cooperate and allegedly used the phrase "f*** you" when he addressed the officer.  That was when things went sour.

 

Within a matter of weeks Kokesh was demoted from Sergeant to Lance Corporal and was stripped of an award he had received for his Iraq service.  He was then given a "general discharge under honorable conditions," which was what his lawyer and the Marine legal beagles agreed to give him in lieu of a court-martial.

That sequence of events apparently convinced Kokesh to turn against "the establishment," as he obviously viewed it.  From that point on, it seemed that he was determined to be his generation's answer to Lieutenant John Kerry, who, as we all remember, was at the forefront of the anti-Vietnam War crowd alongside Jane Fonda, William Ayers, and the like.

 

He has not quite reached that level of dissidence, however, but it's not for lack of trying.  Fast-forward to 2010: it is announced that Mr. Adam Kokesh, a native of the Third Congressional District of New Mexico, has filed to run  in the Republican primary for the congressional seat of Democrat Ben Ray.  Kokesh was running as a Libertarian, which has some recognition in the Republican Party as a legitimate, if somewhat rogue, element.

 

And here's where the Kokesh case starts to get messy and, by so doing, contaminate the cause of both Ron Paul and the libertarian movement (not to be confused with the Libertarian Party).

 

I never saw such a change occur in a person as that which occurred in Adam Kokesh once he became an establishment candidate.  He sported a haircut of respectable length and style, wore suits and ties and normal shoes, and generally conducted himself in a respectable manner.  

 

Of course, that was a quid pro quo, as Paul had endorsed Kokesh's New Mexico candidacy.  And he did it with his eyes wide open, as I personally told the congressman all about Kokesh, including the bit about the latter's demonstrating against the U.S. military during time of war and of his transgressions against the Uniform Code of Military Justice and his punishment.

 

Paul blew me off, saying that he would look into my allegations.
