The passage of Health Care Reform - Step-by-step socialism

It was inevitable.

Washington (CNN) -- The House of Representatives on Saturday night passed a sweeping health care bill by a vote of 220-215.

.........

The House Democrats needed 218 votes to ensure passage of the bill. On Saturday, it appeared the vote would come down to the wire, as the intentions of some conservative Democrats remained unknown.

In the final tally, 219 Democrats voted for the legislation, and 39 voted against it.

Rep. Joe Cao (R-Louisiana) was the only Republican who voted in favor of the bill.

PFOX asks for RESCIND of Award being given to West Bend Library

Letter from PFOX to Graduate SLIS.  The SLIS has refused to respond.  The truth hits home, doesn't it?  WHO is censoring?  Guess we know the answer to that one.


_____________________________________________________


Dear Faculty of the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign:


Please rescind your award to the West Bend Community Memorial Library in West Bend, Wisconsin, as the recipient of the 2009 Robert B. Downs Intellectual Freedom Award.  Contrary to your beliefs, this library bans ex-gay books for children, and therefore cannot be considered a champion of intellectual freedom.  We at PFOX have repeatedly asked the Library Director Michael Tyree to place an ex-gay children’s book in the library which we offered to donate to the library’s shelves.  He has refused to do so, in effect only allowing gay children’s books.  Banning ex-gay books for children while allowing gay themed books should not be rewarded.


Although your press release mentions that the American Library Association has issued statements in support of this library and against censorship of controversial books, the ALA has refused to state specifically that libraries should not ban ex-gay books.  Please issue such a statement so that we can encourage the ALA and all other intellectual freedom organizations to stand boldly for actual intellectual freedom.


Thank you for your consideration,


Sincerely,

Regina Griggs

Executive Director

Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays

Communist Christmas Tree in the White House

Chairman Mao Zedong graces the presidential Christmas tree in our very own White House.  Another curiosity?  An ornament with Obama's face on....Mt. Rushmore?  It's there.  And more. Designed by Simon Doonan, the tree is an assault on family values and a tribute to communism.

These photos of ornaments on the White House Christmas tree in the Blue Room were taken just days ago. Of course, Mao has his place in the White House.

Milwaukee and Madison Planned Parenthood Abortion Mills Next on the Hit List

The same group that caught the deception at the Appleton (un)Planned Parenthood killing facility has promised to produce more convicting evidence of PP propaganda soon.  Sure would be nice to see our tax dollars go buh-bye for this organization.  Hats off to Lila Rose.

Pat McIlheran writes about it HERE:

After Lila Rose posted undercover video of a Planned Parenthood abortion counselor covering up statutory rape, PBS pundit Bonnie Erbe groused online that the student doing the sting should be prosecuted for trespassing. Besides, said Erbe, since those opposing abortion will never win, "why don't they just go away?"
Yes, nothing to see here.

But of course there is, the latest being a sting by Rose's kids-with-cameras group, Live Action, at the Planned Parenthood abortuary in Appleton.
......

As Journal Sentinel community columnist Kathy Banaszak pointed out, such "counsel" - and it was all the counseling the ostensible customer got from Planned Parenthood - utterly fails in any ethical duty to inform a patient. It's a pitch, not advice, and it's based on demonstrable falsehoods about human development.
As Rose later put it to me, it's propaganda "trying to dehumanize that unborn child."

The reason this is publicly relevant is that it strikes directly at the claim by Planned Parenthood to be a neutral, reliable dispenser of information.

....

Rose, 21, and a college senior in Los Angeles, has been catching them for a couple of years now, getting Planned Parenthood clinics to say, on video, how to evade parental consent laws and other ethical niceties.As a result, the organization has fired staff in Indiana. Its taxpayer funding was cut off in Tennessee and threatened in California. Rose says her group picked Wisconsin because our law insists women be given accurate information. She says her group has more video forthcoming, showing misleading counsel in Milwaukee and Madison.

The Los Angeles Times labeled Rose's work "a new-media twist" for the pro-life cause. Now, by Internet, anyone can show video to the public, something that used to require a TV network.

West Bend Mason group has kids pledge to AID and UPHOLD governmental institution

The West Bend Masonic Lodge has a local chapter of the Order of Demolay.  This chapter is open to KIDS and young adults ages 12 to 21.

The DeMoray chapter states the purpose of the club -  "build confidence, teaches responsibility, encourages cooperation and community service, and fosters trust, respect, fellowship, patriotism, reverence and sharing throughout the organization."

(Sorry, I know it's small.  The 5th line reads "I promised to aid and uphold the public schools.")

This sounds great, but I'm wondering about the "pledge" that the kids have to take in order to become a DeMoray club lifetime member.  The one in which they covenant to "AID and UPHOLD" the PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

I find this an oddity. Why would the Masons put a plug into children's minds that "aiding" and "upholding" a governmental institution should be their lifetime goal?  One's first inclination would consider the untoward advancement of a political agenda to indoctrinate as the answer.  Of course, it could simply be what the purpose stated above reinforces, that being "ENCOURAGING COOPERATION."

But you don't have to take MY word for it.
