After reading his essay on compremise, part 1, it's clear to me that he is a person that could bring sanity back to the political discourse of the country.
Kim is a natural teacher of plain common sense pertaining to the human condition. Here's just a taste:
"Politics, as the old saying goes, is the art of the compromise, and itÂ’s absolutely true, even though that compromise sometimes sticks in the craw.
Socialistic statism is horrible; so is unfettered capitalism. The first political system suppresses human nature; the second exacerbates it.
Somewhere between the two lies peace and prosperity."
As most of my readers know, I'm of the far right side of the abortion issue, I guess you could have termed me an "absolutist", in Kim's terms, yet I still have grave reservations about what the struggle over abortion is doing to our society.
Kim has proposed a compremise in principle on both sides of the issue that could end a great deal of the struggle. It's one that, as an absolutist, does stick in my craw, yet the acknowledgement of the realities involved make it a fair compremise for both sides.
Go read it all. I can hardly wait for Part 2.

And before all you readers of the feminine persuasion excoriate me, Mama had to work anyway, and I went with her full blessing....well, went to see Alex, anyway, the range time is another story
Here's Alex holding some much-desired toys....as he said, WHAT a COUNTRY!
And here he is right before killing the green invader from IhateUstan.....
And I think he did a pretty thourough job of it too! LOL That one head shot was my turn at the AR-15 varient he tried out.....The shop owner and I TOLD him not to rent it...sure enough, his little fling with it lit a fervent desire to own one of his very own....impossible for a poor college student....especially one here only on a limited student visa.
But at least it gave him yet another reason to want to emigrate! LOL
I was happy trying out a brand I've never seen before, a Para Ordance LDA, in my favorite .45ACP caliber.
And I found it to be a true pleasure to shoot. note the head shots...quick fire at roughly 20 feet. Not too bad, considering my lack of range time in the last two months and with an unfamiliar weapon.
Got some vid of our playtime too, but since I don't have a host that will let me download it, I guess it will have to remain locked in my files as a private pleasure.....
Mamamontezz was a little disconcerted about the amount of money I spent.....disconcerted, HELL, she was PISSED! I guess I'll have to find a way to appease her rage...any suggestions ladies? I would take HER to the range ASAP, a little shooting always calms her down.... but that would only add to the money woes....
At least if I suddenly disappear, you'll know the reason why.....

But you will have to compete with the range if you stay with that big lug. Just join him in the game, and it won't be a problem in any case...except when you outshoot his skinny butt LOL

Arutz Sheva Here's the story. I link, YOU decide.
BAUER: MAJOR TV NETWORKS BOYCOTTED 'HOSPITAL BOMBER' STORY
Despite the distribution of a video of the Arab suicide bomber who
intended to blow up a hospital by the IDF, nearly all foreign news agencies
chose to boycott the story altogether.
An outraged former undersecretary to US President Ronald Reagan and
candidate for Republican Presidential nominee, Gary Bauer wrote a scathing
critique of the world mediaÂ’s decision to avoid the story.
Excerpts from BauerÂ’s letter:
”If you don't get the Fox News Channel then you didn't see any of the
dramatic footage of the Israeli army's arrest yesterday of a 21-year old, female Palestinian homicide-bomber, strapped with 25 pounds of high-explosives, just moments before she was to commit mass-murder by detonating herself inside an Israeli hospital. No other television network featured the story.
”Utterly ignoring the extraordinary video of the homicide-bomber's
arrest, both the BBC and CNN focused extensively on how much ‘damage’
Israel's early morning arrest - for which there was no video - of 55 Fatah
and Islamic Jihad terrorists, described by CNN as ‘Palestinian
activists,’ would cause to today's scheduled ‘summit meeting’ between Israeli
Prime Minister Sharon and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
That only one network would air incredible footage of the seizure of a
ticking human-bomb, just moments before she tried to murder hospital
patients, means this story was not simply ignored by the mainstream media
- it was boycotted by the mainstream media. Since nearly every aspect
of this remarkable story contradicts everything the mainstream media has
been trying to tell us about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, they
just opted for the easiest way to handle it - denying it ever happened.
[Â…]
Ignoring the story meant the networks didn't need to tell viewers that
yesterday's homicide-bomber was not dispatched by terrorists of Islamic
Jihad or Hamas, groups opposed to President Abbas, but was in fact
working for the Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade, which is controlled by the
political party Fatah, whose chairman is none other than President Abbas
himself!
Ignoring the story meant not having to reveal that the
would-be-murderer had been traveling regularly to Israel for years on a valid medical pass, which granted the woman free treatment for burns she received in a home cooking accident, and was thus ruthlessly exploited by depraved
terrorists whose shameless capacity to cynically manipulate goodness,
in their pursuit of murder and death, knows no bounds.
[Â…]
Ignoring the story meant not having to cover comments the
female-terrorist made in a rare army supervised press conference in which she
revealed what her mission was and who sent her. "I believe in death," she
said on Israeli TV. "All my life I have been preparing to be a martyr.
Mother, please forgive me for failing in [my] mission." Sentiments not
exactly consistent with the line long peddled by the liberal media, and
more recently even by the Bush administration, that Israel is the
obstacle to "peace."

EVERY

THEM.
Due to the supposed "non-existant" hearings, over 200 detainees have been released...and 12 of those released were picked up BACK ON THE BATTLEFIELD. How many are back, but not recaptured?!?

"I actually believe that I am proof positive that the current policy of training the Iraqi army ... works because it was Iraqis that got me out," he said."
"
I would tell Mr. Woods that we understood that he was under duress, and hold no fault with him for saying what he had to, to survive. The fact that his first act on arriving home was to make a public apology shows that he is a class act.
Too bad some of our own people in leadership positions don't have the same class.

So how come when there is evedince that President Bush's policy of Democratization DO show signs of bearing fruit, there is a deafening silence from the MSM and those pundits declaring that our detention center at Gitmo "a Gulag"?
This protest march, which I found out about from the Florida Cracker, should be a sign that President Bush just may not be the war-mongering idiot the Left portrays him:
BAKU, Azerbaijan - Thousands of demonstrators chanting "Freedom" and carrying portraits of President Bush marched across Azerbaijan's capital Saturday, demanding the resignation of the government and free parliamentary elections — in the biggest protest in years.
Note the man whose picture appears in the cry for freedom...sure isn't Dick "the Turbin" Durbin, is it? Maybe the "Arab Street" really does know just WHO has the best hopes and wishes for them in his heart?

Too bad that the Canadian Supreme Court disagrees with them. I'm sure that will still not dissuade the lemmings of the Left from trying to convert our health care system to the Socialist model, but just maybe it will wake up the "Great Undecideds" to the situation, and help to get them to support REAL health care reform instead of sound/feel good socialist pap.
The NHS in Britain is in the same boat, but at least they DO allow "private pay" to decrease waiting times. But think about it, for the women in the story, there was STILL a two week wait for an MRI; IF she payed for it herself...In any American hospital, she would have received one as a matter of normal emergency room trauma treatment. She may have been deep in debt afterwards it's true, but she would have received treatment that may have precluded two years of suffering. I find it enlighteniong that the hospital where my wife works hase more MRI units that there are in ALL of Canada, and it's only one of seven hospitals in the metropolitan area that have such units.
Getting government out of health care would be a first good step. All too often medical personell spend more time on mandated paperwork than real patient care.
Secondly,setting reasonable caps on malpractice awards would help lower costs in far higher ratios than the awards themselves, just by lessening the incidents of doctors ordering non essential cya tests just to protect themselves from law suits.
And I know I've harped on this subject, but implementing the Fair Tax would increase the amount of money availible for the poorer members of our society to afford at least basic health care coverage.

I concur with Jim, we are at that "awkward" stage where it just might be too late for the present system to last, but too early for the final defense against the coming collapse.

Nikola Tesla
Inventor
1856 - 1943
"Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has
as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity."
—Nikola Tesla
While looking through my referal logs at Site Meter, I noticed a visit from Annika of Annika's Journal. I went over to check her out and found a post about "who is the greatest American". Annika nominated Willis H. Carrier for his invention of air conditioning. I can see her reasoning and I agree that Mr. Carrier did, indeed, make a contribution to the world that is taken for too much for granted.
HOWEVER, I believe I have say that there is a man who made an even greater contribution, and who is all but forgotten. That man is Nikola Tesla. WHO, you say? Well, you would not be reading this without the contribution that Mr Tesla made to the benefit of the entire world, and Mr. Carriers air conditioning would be useless without Mr. Tesla. Edisons light bulb would still be a limited curiosity without it. In fact, most of the modern convienences that we take so for granted depend on it
Mr Tesla invented the first practical, safe, system to generate and transmit alternating current. Without alternating current, the modern world would not be possible.
Thomas Edison always fought the idea of alternating current as "too dangerous", despite the fact that direct current severly limited the distances that power could be carried, making it impractical for widespread use.
Mr. Tesla also developed in rapid succession the induction motor, new types of generators and transformers, fluorescent lights, and a new type of steam turbine. He also became intrigued with wireless transmission of power. Had his financial backer not deserted him, we may have had broadcast power now, without need for transmission line cluttering up the landscape. Engineers today are exploring the possibility of using microwaves for just that purpose. With Tesla's genius, I wonder if we wouldn't already have had it. Imagine the impact that THAT would have had. Totally electric cars would have been practical within the first decade of the twentyth century, forstalling many of the pollution problems we have now.
At the time of his death on January 7, 1943, he held over 700 patents.
Tesla was well known in his time, hundreds of admirers attended his funeral, but as with so many, he's all but forgotten today, eclipsed by another great genius of the time, Thomas Edison. Tesla was a loner, not interested in anything but his own work; Mr. Edison had not a little of the showman in him, with the result being that he is remembered and Tesla has faded into obscurity, despite his great contributions to the modern world.

As an emigre myself, I have always been sensative to immigration issues, and I feel that this country has fallen from the correct path in many of these issues with the advent of PC multiculturalism, bilingual education, deference to foreign cultures in governmental services, and not too long ago, referance to foriegn laws by our Supreme Court in making a judgement. We are giving up our national identity on the alter of a false ideal; that all cultures are equal and should be held to without expectation of assimilation into the American culture.
Don't get me wrong, I am proud of my heritage, and I never wnat to forget where I came from, BUT I came here to be an AMERICAN, had I wanted to hold to my native culture, I would have stayed where I was. Remembering and respecting a heritage is a good thing to do, but trying to live that heritage to the exclusion of becoming a part of the new culture you find yourself in is destructive.
Without further blathering on my part, listen to what Governor Lamm has to say on the effects of uncontrolled immigration , and low expectations of newcomers top our shores:
We all know Dick Lamm as the former Governor of Colorado. In that
context his thoughts are particularly poignant. Last week there was an
immigration-overpopulation conference in Washington, DC, filled to
capacity by many of American's finest minds and leaders. A brilliant
college professor named Victor Hansen Davis talked about his latest
book, "Mexifornia," explaining how immigration - both legal and illegal
was destroying the entire state of California. He said it would march
across the country until it destroyed all vestiges of The American
Dream.
Moments later, former Colorado Governor Richard D. Lamm stood up and
gave a stunning speech on how to destroy America. The audience sat
spellbound as he described eight methods for the destruction of the
United States. He said, "If you believe that America is too smug, too
self-satisfied, too rich, then let's destroy America. It is not that
hard to do. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time.
Arnold Toynbee observed that all great civilizations rise and fall and
that 'An autopsy of history would show that all great nations commit
suicide.'"
1. "Here is how they do it," Lamm said: "Turn America into a bilingual
or multi-lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation
can survive the tension, conflict, and antagonism of two or more
competing languages and cultures. It is a blessing for an individual to
be bilingual; however, it is a curse for a society to be bilingual.
"The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way: 'The histories
of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are
histories of turmoil, tension, and tragedy.' Canada, Belgium, Malaysia,
Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press
for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided.
Nigeria suppressed an ethnic rebellion. France faces difficulties with
Basques, Bretons, and Corsicans."
2. Lamm went on: "Invent 'multiculturalism' and encourage immigrants to
maintain their culture. I would make it an article of belief that all
cultures are equal. That there are no cultural differences. I would
make it an article of faith that the Black and Hispanic dropout rates are
due to prejudice and discrimination by the majority. Every other
explanation is out of bounds.
3. "We could make the United States an 'Hispanic Quebec' without much
effort. The key is to celebrate diversity rather than unity. As
Benjamin Schwarz said in the Atlantic Monthly recently: 'The apparent success of our own multiethnic and multicultural experiment might have been
achieved not by tolerance but by hegemony. Without the dominance that
once dictated ethnocentrically and what it meant to be an American, we
are left with only tolerance and pluralism to hold us together.'"
4. Lamm said, "I would encourage all immigrants to keep their own
language and culture. I would replace the melting pot metaphor with the
salad bowl metaphor. It is important to ensure that we have various
cultural subgroups living in America reinforcing their differences
rather than as Americans, emphasizing their similarities."
5. "Fourth, I would make our fastest growing demographic group the
least educated. I would add a second underclass, unassimilated,
undereducated, and antagonistic to our population. I would have this second underclass have a 50% dropout rate from high school."
6. "My fifth point for destroying America would be to get big
foundations and business to give these efforts lots of money. I would
invest in ethnic identity, and I would establish the cult of
'Victimology.' I would get all minorities to think their lack of
success was the fault of the majority. I would start a grievance industry
blaming all minority failure on the majority population."
7. "My sixth plan for America's downfall would include dual citizenship
and promote divided loyalties. I would celebrate diversity over unity.
I would stress differences rather than similarities. Diverse people
worldwide are mostly engaged in hating each other - that is, when they
are not killing each other."
"A diverse, peaceful, or stable society is against most historical
precedent. People undervalue the unity it takes to keep a nation
together. Look at the ancient Greeks. The Greeks believed that they
belonged to the same race; they possessed a common language and
literature; and they worshipped the same gods. All Greece took part in
the Olympic games. A common enemy Persia threatened their liberty. Yet
all these bonds were not strong enough to over come two factors: local
patriotism and geographical conditions that nurtured political
divisions. Greece fell. "E. Pluribus Unum" -- >From many, one. In that
historical reality, if we put the emphasis on the 'pluribus' instead of
the 'unum,' we can balkanize America as surely as Kosovo."
8. "Next to last, I would place all subjects off limits ~ make it taboo
to talk about anything against the cult of 'diversity.' I would find a
word similar to 'heretic' in the 16th century - that stopped discussion
and paralyzed thinking. Words like 'racist' or 'xenophobe' halt
discussion and debate."
"Having made America a bilingual/bicultural country, having established
multi-culturist, having the large foundations fund the doctrine of
'Victimology,' I would next make it impossible to enforce our
immigration laws. I would develop a mantra: That because immigration
has been good for America, it must always be good. I would make every
individual immigrant symmetric and ignore the cumulative impact of
millions of them."
9. In the last minute of his speech, Governor Lamm wiped his brow.
Profound silence followed. Finally he said, "Lastly, I would censor
Victor Hanson Davis's book Mexifornia. His book is dangerous. It
exposes the plan to destroy America. If you feel America deserves to be
destroyed, don't read that book."
There was no applause. A chilling fear quietly rose like an ominous
cloud above every attendee at the conference. Every American in that
room knew that everything Lamm enumerated was proceeding methodically,
quietly, darkly, yet pervasively across the United States today. Every
discussion is being suppressed. Over 100 languages are ripping the
foundation of our educational system and national cohesiveness.
Barbaric cultures that practice female genital mutilation are growing as we
celebrate 'diversity.'
American jobs are vanishing into the Third World as corporations create
a Third World in America - take note of California and other states -
to date, ten million illegal aliens and growing fast. It is reminiscent of
George Orwell's book "1984." In that story, three slogans are engraved
in the Ministry of Truth building: "War is peace," "Freedom is
slavery,"and "Ignorance is strength."
Governor Lamm, walked back to his seat. It dawned on everyone at the
conference that our nation and the future of this great democracy is
deeply in trouble and worsening fast. If we don't get this immigration
monster stopped within three years, it will rage like a California
wildfire and destroy everything in its path, especially The American
Dream.

Shoe Bomber
Remember the guy who got on a plane with a bomb built into his shoe
and tried to light it?
Did you know his trial is over?
Did you know he was sentenced?
Did you see/hear any of the judge's comments on TV/Radio?
Didn't think so.
Everyone should hear what the judge had to say.
Ruling by Judge William Young, US District Court.
Prior to sentencing, the Judge asked the defendant if he had
anything to say.
His response: After admitting his guilt to the court for the record,
Reid also admitted his "allegiance to Osama bin Laden, to Islam, and to
the religion of Allah," defiantly stated "I think I will not apologize
for my actions," and told the court "I am at war with your country."
Judge Young then delivered the statement quoted below:
January 30, 2003, United States vs. Reid. Judge Young: "Mr.
Richard C. Reid, hearken now to the sentence the Court imposes upon you.
On counts 1, 5 and 6 the Court sentences you to life in prison in the
custody of the United States Attorney General. On counts 2, 3, 4 and
7, the Court sentences you to 20 years in prison on each count, the
sentence on each count to run consecutive with the other.
That's 80 years. On count 8 the Court sentences you to the
mandatory 30 years consecutive to the 80 years just imposed. The Court
imposes upon you each of the eight counts a fine of $250,000 for the
aggregate fine of $2 million. The Court accepts the government's
recommendation with respect to restitution and orders restitution in the
amount of $298.17 to Andre Bousquet and $5,784 to American Airlines. The
Court imposes upon you the $800 special assessment.
The Court imposes upon you five years supervised release
simply because the law requires it. But the life sentences are real life
sentences so I need go no further. This is the sentence that is
provided for by our statutes. It is a fair and just sentence. It is a
righteous sentence.
Let me explain this to you. We are not afraid of you or any
of your terrorist co-conspirators, Mr. Reid. We are Americans. We
have been through the fire before. There is all too much war talk here
and I say that to everyone with the utmost respect. Here in this court,
we deal with individuals as individuals and care for individuals as
individuals. As human beings, we reach out for justice.
You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist. You are
not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist. To give you that
reference, to call you a soldier, gives you far too much stature. Whether
it is the officers of government who do it or your attorney who does it,
or if you think you are a soldier. You are not----- you are a
terrorist. And we do not negotiate with terrorists. We do not meet with
terrorists. We do not sign documents with terrorists. We hunt them down
one by one and bring them to justice.
So war talk is way out of line in this court. You are a big
fellow. But you are not that big. You're no warrior. I've known
warriors. You are a terrorist. A species of criminal that is guilty of
multiple attempted murders. In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiago
had it right when you first were taken off that plane and into custody
and you wondered where the press and where the TV crews were, and he
said: "You're no big deal."
You are no big deal.
What your able counsel and what the equally able United
States attorneys have grappled with and what I have as honestly as I know
how tried to grapple with, is why you did something so horrific. What
was it that led you here to this courtroom today?
I have listened respectfully to what you have to say. And I
ask you to search your heart and ask yourself what sort of unfathomable
hate led you to do what you are guilty and admit you are guilty of
doing. And I have an answer for you. It may not satisfy you, but as I
search this entire record, it comes as close to understanding as I know.
It seems to me you hate the one thing that to us is most
precious. You hate our freedom. Our individual freedom. Our individual
freedom to live as we choose, to come and go as we choose, to believe or
not believe as we individually choose. Here, in this society, the very
wind carries freedom. It carries it everywhere from sea to shining
sea. It is because we prize individual freedom so much that you are here
in this beautiful courtroom. So that everyone can see, truly see, that
justice is administered fairly, individually, and discretely. It is
for freedom's sake that your lawyers are striving so vigorously on your
behalf and have filed appeals, will go on in their representation of you
before other judges.
We Americans are all about freedom. Because we all know that
the way we treat you, Mr. Reid, is the measure of our own liberties.
Make no mistake though. It is yet true that we will bare any burden;
pay any price, to preserve our freedoms. Look around this courtroom.
Mark it well. The world is not going to long remember what you or I say
here. Day after tomorrow, it will be forgotten, but this, however,
will long endure. Here in this courtroom and courtrooms all across
America, the American people will gather to see that justice, individual
justice, justice, not war, individual justice is in fact being done. The
very President of the United States through his officers will have to
come into courtrooms and lay out evidence on which specific matters can
be judged and juries of citizens will gather to sit and judge that
evidence democratically, to mold and shape and refine our sense of justice.
See that flag, Mr. Reid? That's the flag of the United
States of America. That flag will fly there long after this is all
forgotten. That flag stands for freedom. And it always will.
Mr. Custody Officer. Stand him down.
So, how much of this Judge's comments did we hear on our TV
sets?
We need more judges like Judge Young, but that's another subject.
Pass this around. Everyone should and needs to hear what this fine judge
had to say. Powerful words that strike home.
God bless America.

He also states that John Bolton is the best choice that could have been made to represent the United States in the U.N. As he stated: "John Bolton not only acts forcefully, he also gets results."
Mr. Pacep also reveals that much of the Anti-American, anti-Capitalist rhetoric coming out of the European Left, and parroted by our own "Progressives" was also carefully formulated and backed by planners in Moscow:
This is a familiar theme. For 27 years of my other life I was involved in creating various Antonio Negris throughout Western Europe and using them to spread the seductive theory of economic determinism that still defines the mindset of EuropeÂ’s Left. I helped write the lyrics to the siren song according to which America, symbolizing the worldÂ’s rich, is to blame for all the evils of the world. I was steeped in its rhetoric. To me today, these Cold War agitators revived by Kofi AnnanÂ’s U.N. are even more disturbing than the terroristsÂ’ Kalashnikovs now aimed at us.
And for those people of the Kum-Ba-Ya persuasion that claim that "war never solved anything", this is what a former member of the opposition has to say:
Nazism, the Holocaust, and Communism were not defeated by international organizations or by blue-ribbon commissions. They were defeated by the military actions of the United States, which is now working on crushing the evil of terrorism. The U.S., not the U.N., initiated freedomÂ’s current domino effect in the Middle East, a movement that now is even reaching into Ukraine, Georgia, and other former Soviet republics, while the U.N. is busy encouraging the growing anti-American barrage.
We need to invite the U.N. to move their headquarters to a more suitable area in keeping with their idiology...Darfur perhaps? They are so excited by the prospect of "saving Africa", they should jump-start the effort by putting their bodies where their mouths are. They are always going to be inimical to the U.S., we don't need to add injury to insult by providing them with comfy quarters from which to spew their acrid venom.
WHY are we providing the majority share of financial support for an organization that is predicated to destroying everything that America believes in?

It's an ironic twist to think of an Ethics Professor to be charged with plagerism, copyright infringement, and misrepresentation of his lineage....couldn't be happening to a more deserving guy IMHO.
Those that defend him say that Professor Churchill's First Amendment rights are being attacked, but I don't see that plagerism, fraudulent information dissemination, and fraudulent scholorship in academic papers are covered in any way by the First Amendment.

 | You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Moonbats using links to PJSA items in attempting to bolster their arguments against the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. If they do, so just remind them of the background of a couple of the major players in the group (from the article):
The leader of the PJSA is the vehemently anti-Israel activist Simona Sharoni. A native of Israel and the daughter of a Holocaust survivor from Romania. Sharoni has devoted her adult life to anti-Israel and anti-American activism.
Sharoni is a founding member of the "Women In Black,” a group of Israeli women who sided with the Palestinian terrorists during the first Intifada. “Women in Black” were nicknamed "the black witches" by Israeli soldiers for their disruption of counter-terrorism activities and for their harassment of Israeli security personnel at roadblocks and checkpoints.
PJSA includes peaceniks who dwell in a transparently delusional world. A perfect example is Howard Richards, a professor in the Peace and Global Justice Studies department at Earlham College. What is Professor Richards solution to achieving World Peace?
"Reduce, reuse, and recycle";
"Cultivate an organic garden";
"Use less fossil fuel"; and
"Process inner anger by following a spiritual path or getting some form of therapy."
"Plant flowers, see a psychotherapist—this, according to Richards, is the way to defeat al-Qaeda and Zarqawi's butchers in Iraq."
As Mr Girin concludes his article:
"While the PJSA might be seen as an obscure leftist group with insane or repugnant views, the sobering reality is that most PJSA is an association of educators who have authority over hundreds if not thousands of young Americans yearly. American parents should be aware that the teachers of their children could be PJSA-supporting pedagogues. Far from being a peace organizaton the Peace and Justice Studies Association is a division in the fifth column army that is at war with America and the West."
I agree, we as parents MUST become more aware just WHO is teaching indoctrinating our young skulls full of mush, to borrow a phrase from El Rushbo. It is a disservice not only to our children, but our country not to become educated on the state of Higher Education today.

According to the latest HIV statistics released by the CDC, Blacks constitute 47% of the population infected with the HIV/AIDS virus. Pretty damning of "black culture", when you consider that Blacks constitute only 13% of the general population.
The PC crowd would have us embrace all cultures for the uniqueness and flavor that they bring to the culture as a whole. But what do you do when that sub-sub-culture can lead you to an increased risk of contracting a fatal didease?
No I am NOT saying that Blacks are responsible for HIV/AIDS, but it does seem that segments of the sub-culture are responsible for a growth in the number of cases. These are the sub-sub cultures of the black intraveineous drug user and the sub-sub culture of the Black gay/bi communities, NOT the Black sub-culture as a whole. So save the "racist" accusations.
HIV/AIDS is a lifestyle disease in the vast majority of cases, (barring the few that contracted it from blood products/natal infection) and the studies show that the high risk behaviour occurs more often in the Black community. Unprotected sex, intravenous drug use, multiple sex partners in a short time span....these are things that the Black community needs to address if these numbers are to ever go down. They can't blame it on "The Man". They will have to look closer to home and try to do something to educate the young to the dangers they face.
I believe that people such as Bill Cosby are trying to show the way, too bad that so much of the "Black Leadership" castigate the messenger and his message. Dr. Cosby has a lot of common sense to impart. But it's not too surprising, after all, his message is one of responsibility and accountability, and where is the profit/power for race issue whores in that?
I do find some measure of blame in the Political arena in this....As I noted in an earlier post, "you get more of what you subsedize" and polititions have created a whole sub-class of people that have never learned that they are responsible for their own well being. Whites are greater in number in this sub-class, but I am sure that if the numbers were screened, a large number of Black HIV/AIDS victims would also be members of this sub-class that have come to depend on the government for direction in every facet of their life.
We need to bring back the concepts of real self pride (not the vacuous "race" pride and "entitlement attitude" the the Race Whores have tried to forward as their agenda) and self reliance that made this country great. It needs to be done for ALL races, but the cancer has eaten farther in Black community with the help of the race whores and limosine Liberals, and is more urgent to correct, if the next generation of Blacks is to have a decent chance of making themselves and their community the great assets to the country that they have every right to be.
