When Georgetown covered up its Christian symbols because the Marxist, Black Liberation Theology anti-Christian Barack Hussein Obama came to speak, sulfur was saturating the air. When Georgetown then invited the woman who would see that all Catholic Institutions would provide abortion pills in their healthcare to their employees, the sulfur thickened to fog strength on Georgetown’s campus. Georgetown is no longer a religious academic institution of higher learning for young Catholics – it is the Devil’s lair teaching them “social justice.” Social Justice, which destroys their own religion while destroying the very country that provided religious freedom in its First Amendment. I am praying that William Peter Blatty is successful in court in forcing Georgetown to stop calling itself a Catholic Institution: Lets Excise The Devil From Georgetown.

“What I owe Georgetown, however, is nothing as compared to what Georgetown owes to its founders and the Christ of faith,” Blatty said in a statement.

The author says that Georgetown has violated church teaching for decades by inviting speakers who support abortion rights and refusing to obey instructions the late Pope John Paul II issued in 1990 to church-affiliated colleges and universities.

Georgetown should amend its ways or stop calling itself a Catholic or Jesuit institution, Blatty said.

A media spokesperson for Georgetown did not respond Friday to a request for comment. On its website, the university says, “Catholicism’s rich and diverse intellectual tradition is central to Georgetown’s academic life.”

In response to criticism of the Sebelius speech, Georgetown president John J. DeGioia said this week that the university is “committed to the free exchange of ideas” even if it does not agree with all of them.

Blatty’s “indictment” against Georgetown charges the school with failing to recruit Catholic teachers and students, neglecting to instruct students in Catholic morality and failing to act in accord with church doctrine. He expects the suit to be filed in the Archdiocese of Washington’s court of canon law this fall.

Blatty recently founded The Father King Society, named after a former Georgetown theology professor, to enlist fellow alumni in his cause.

The Catholic Church had better get its love of Christ first in its heart and its devilish “social justice” destroyed or find itself consumed by the devil within.

The USS San Diego is the fourth US Navy ship to be named after the Navy town of San Diego, California. LPD-22 is capable of hauling two LCACs, plus a fully equipped Marine battalion and has a crew of 361 officers and enlisted personnel.

From Channel 10 in San Diego:

The amphibious transport dock USS San Diego was the first with the moniker of “America’s Finest City” to be stationed here. The ship bears Navy number LPD-22.

“With today’s ceremony, the Navy will commission the fourth ship to bear the name USS San Diego. From what I’ve been told, the ship being commissioned today is the most advanced amphibious ship in the world,” Mayor Jerry Sanders said. He said the city’s relationship with the Navy stretched back to 1921, when a Navy repair base was established.

Sanders presented the ship’s officers and the crew with the key to the city, “in honor of welcoming America’s finest ship to America’s Finest City.”

The commissioning ceremony is a naval tradition and historic event for a ship, marking the moment a new craft is placed in active service in the fleet.

Adm. Mark Ferguson, the vice chief of naval operations, said San Diego had been a great home to the United States Navy. He said expectations for the ship were high.

“The USS San Diego joins a Navy that has never been more in demand, never more needed and essential to ensure that our nation retains command of the seas,” Ferguson said.

The 684-foot long San Diego, the sixth ship in the San Antonio class, had its keel laid on May 23, 2007, at the Huntington Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, Miss. It was christened June 12, 2010, and delivered to the Navy Dec. 19, 2011.

The ship’s sponsor is Linda Winter, wife of former Secretary of the Navy Donald Winter. She gave the command to “Man our ship and bring her to life.”

The San Antonio class ship is designed to carry landing craft, fighting vehicles, helicopters and personnel. The ships have more capacity than their predecessors and use “stealth” technology that includes the shape of the hull and its superstructure. It is being called the most advanced amphibious ship in the world.

“Look at the size of it!” said veteran George Horton. “How would you like to paint it? My God.”

Horton, 88, has seen the ships grow over the years. Horton joined the Navy in 1942 and served on an older USS San Diego during World War II, just after his 17th birthday.

“Oh, this ship is so magnificent,” Horton said through tears. “[I] waited 60 years for this.”

Horton’s heart seemed to swell with pride as he looked up at the new USS San Diego.

“I just want to see this go to sea and let them know that whenever they release the anchor or let the lines go that my shipmates and I are going with them,” Horton said. “They treat me like a member of the ship and it’s really touching.”

“Being on the Left means never having to say you’re sorry.”   -Dennis Prager

———————

At this point, the only people unfamiliar with the Trayvon Martin shooting that took place in Florida a couple of months ago are brave Inuit warriors who’ve been away hunting fur seals and any of the people who appeared on either Laguna Beach or The Hills (oh, and what the heck, let’s throw The City in there for good measure as well).

George Zimmerman (Hispanic) currently stands charged with the second-degree murder of the young Martin (Black).  To say that the situation has heightened racial tensions around the country is like saying that Barack Obama’s most recent budget proposal was “sort of, kind of” defeated in the Senate.  (Psst! It lost 99-0. I know they don’t talk about stuff like that on Community and Desperate Housewives, but it actually happened!)

Many in the media, and in whatever line of work it is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson do for a living, want this story to be about one thing, and one thing only: a “white” man killing a black kid purely because of the color of his skin.  Even the The New York Times tried to lend a hand by initially labeling George Zimmerman a “white Hispanic.”

White Hispanic?  Kind of just rolls off the old tongue, don’t it?

At the heart of the wildly under-informed attacks against Zimmerman, levied by the media and many prominent members of the entertainment world, was the “fact” that Zimmerman had allegedly egged the situation on in order to be able to discharge his firearm in a deliberate and reckless act of white-man’s machismo.  The media was absolutely certain that George Zimmerman attacked first, and this, they felt, was something that gave them the cover they needed to unleash racially-charged appraisals of the supposedly terrible country America still is.

But then those stubborn things called “facts” went and got themselves involved. Party foul, bro!

In light of new evidence that seems to confirm Zimmerman’s account of that evening’s fateful events, comedian Bill Maher said something Friday that compelled me to respond.  On this week’s episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, the joke-maker offered this commentary:

“There is lots of new evidence that was made public this week in the Trayvon Martin case. He did have marijuana in his system, a drug that has never made anyone on planet Earth violent. And at the moment that he confronted, or was confronted by the wannabe cop loser who was stalking him, turns out he probably did beat the dog sh$@ out of that guy. I just want to say if I had a son he would not look like Trayvon Martin, but I hope he would act like him.” (Insert wild applause from approving audience)

The “If I had a son…” line Maher used was a call-back to President Obama’s self-evident and utterly unnecessary “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon” comment when this story first garnered national attention in late March.  You know, for people who are insistent that we need to “just move past race”, liberals never seem to shut up about the subject and find any conceivable opportunity to bring it up.

But let’s analyze the heart of what Bill Maher is actually saying here.

Liberal entertainers and members of the media say George Zimmerman was in the wrong because he supposedly stalked and attacked Trayvon Martin in cold blood.  That narrative is de-bunked with facts, and new tidbits (i.e. Martin was high) are added.  Now Trayvon Martin is smugly praised by a liberal entertainer for attacking first, the thing that had previously convicted Zimmerman in the mind of liberal entertainers and members of the media (and led to a whole series of critiques about white people and American culture).

Confused? Then you probably didn’t get your college degree in “Gender” or “Ethnic” studies.  Be grateful for that.

The progressive Left in this country have a template for stories involving one party who happens to be black.   That template is: use story to bludgeon ideological enemies, lecture those deemed less moral than yourself, and score political points by appearing sympathetic to how “unjust” the American justice system is.

Conflicting pieces of evidence are dismissed because the hamster wheel of race-baiting stops for no man when once it has commenced spinning.  If and when they are proven wrong, liberal pundits and talking-heads never offer apologies for the terrible things they’ve said.  The story is brushed under Joe Biden’s hair-plugs and most people forget about it. (Almost like that is the result the media is angling for!)

The real tragedy is that a boy is dead and a family has lost a son, brother, and cousin.  The real tragedy is that such careless rhetoric from race-mongering nit-wits who happen to be on our TV sets clouds the judgments of millions of Americans who deep down simply want to see justice prevail.   The pressure this racially-charged and suffocating cloud of hearsay and innuendo puts on investigators and litigators makes their already-difficult jobs that much harder.  Everyone loses.

I don’t take Bill Maher seriously in the sense that I sit up at night worried over what he’ll say next on his sparsely-watched television show.  He’s a comedian and can use that as a shield whenever cornered with something egregious that spewed out of his mouth.  But his sentiments in this case have mirrored the mainstream media’s.  And these people are still the most formidable gate-keepers of information in this country.

At first Maher was outraged by some crazy guy named Zimmerman, out on the loose, preemptively attacking innocent black kids because of how much he hates “hooded-sweatshirts” (a.k.a. “symbolic piece of clothing that the media determined equates to black kids”).  Now he’s glad that Trayvon Martin attacked first because Zimmerman deserved it and all of that then somehow confirms his suspicions that the whole thing was about race?

If I had a father like Bill Maher, not only would I not look like him, but I’d pray to God every night that I never sounded like him either.

Of course, there are things that Corporations can do, in the normal course of production, intentionally, or not, that could be harmful to the environment. And, to that extent, I believe that most Americans fully support some reasonable standards, that keep our water, and air, from being incessantly polluted, with chemicals and harmful toxins. But, that aside, what can corporations, just from a purely economical stand-point, really do, that is harmful to us?

Quite often, I hear from people on the left, in this country, that big business, and these corporations, are running our Government; and by extension, our country. But, how can that be? For example, unlike Government, Corporations do not have the power to make laws; they do not have the power to throw us in jail; they do not have the power to vote away more of our income; they do not have the power to wage war. And, the list goes on, and on…

Government, on the other hand, does have the power to make laws; they do have the power to use force, and to throw us in jail; they do have the confiscatory powers to vote away more of our income; and, they do have the power to wage war.

Government, even when exercising their most basic of functions, is recognized as a necessary evil; but, they produce nothing. All of the money needed to run our Government(s), must first be taxed away from the earnings of our citizenry. Corporations, on the other hand, create wealth, they create jobs, and they produce products that are of real value to people – such as energy, food, clothing, homes etc.

Just the above examples, demonstrates, clearly, that, while Government is necessary, Corporations, in the normal course of the day, bring far more value to people’s lives then Government. So, why then, does there appear to be so much dislike for Corporations, from the left in this country? I believe the answer to that question is precisely for the aforementioned reasons. In other words, Corporations are so valuable, and do create so much wealth, that, many people believe, by default, that Government automatically bows down to these Corporations, and their CEOs. But again, let’s recall, who has the power to make laws, and to vote away more of our money?

I’m afraid that, for the most part, too many people are putting the cart before the horse: If Government has the power to make laws, then the logical conclusion is that, Corporations, for the most part, and if they want to operate in their current jurisdictions, are often forced to adhere to Government, their laws, and their regulations. However, if Corporations decide to leave their respective jurisdictions, and relocate elsewhere, then Government officials need to answer to their constituents, as to why Corporations are leaving, and with them, taking wealth, jobs, and opportunities – which, is enough for any elected official to lose their job over. 

Once upon a time, in our country, Government had very little involvement with the private sector economy, and basically, stuck to their core Government functions; while companies did what they were best at, which was creating a marketable product, and hiring the necessary help, to bring that product to market. And, as a result of this mutual respect between the public and private sectors, The United States became the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Once Government began to incessantly regulate private companies, it only stands to reason that, companies would have to find a way to maintain their livelihoods, and keep the Government off their backs; and, the logical way to do that, would be to buy influence from within the Government. Or, stated differently, to bribe or buy-off the law-makers. 

It is these so-called public/private sector partnerships, that have led to this current quasi-Fascist system in our country, that we more subtlety refer to as Corporatism, Crony Capitalism etc. But, this, however, is not the system that was intended by our Founders. Citizens from both the left and the right, Republicans, Democrats, and Libertarians alike, all seem to share a common dislike for these sort of partnerships, which does corrupt our Government, and, at the same time, does hurt and disrupt the productivity, and growth, of the smaller companies, who have little or no influence with the law-makers. 

Since we would all agree, for the most part, that we do need Government, and we do need Corporations, the question then becomes, how can we end these highly unethical, and highly unproductive partnerships? The only answer that I can think of, regardless of how much people may disagree, is to have a complete wall of separation between Government, and Private Sector Companies. Or, at the very least, allow all Government regulations to be handled locally, where communities, and companies, are affected the most; which would allow the local citizenry to deal with their respective Governments, and to empower them, locally, with the things that impact the normal course of their daily lives. 

In the end, and, in a truly free-market, absent of Government influence, We, The People, and our wallets, are really the best regulators of all. Unlike government, who can vote away our money, Corporations have to convince us to spend our money on their products; which, in my humble opinion, gives us, the consumers, far more power, and far more influence, then any Corporation, in a truly free-market, could ever dream of having.

Washington, DC – Liberty Counsel Action told California state senators that it strongly opposes SB 1172, a bill that bans counselors from helping minors overcome same-sex attractions and puts restrictions on providing adults with “change therapy.” In addition, SB 1172 would impose unprecedented legal liability for counselors who suggest that it is possible to overcome same-sex attractions.

Introduced by State Senator Ted Lieu (D-Torrance) and approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee, SB 1172 relies on a concept that the American Psychological Association (APA) has refuted: homosexuality is an immutable characteristic. In fact, the APA has stated that environmental factors do have a role in a person choosing homosexuality. Despite this research, SB 1172 would codify the assertion that homosexuals cannot become heterosexuals and that efforts to make such a change are harmful. However, no such assertion of harm is made regarding therapy that encourages heterosexuals to experiment with homosexuality, nor does the bill address the harms of counseling people to change their genders.

Mandi Campbell, Liberty Counsel Action Director of Public Policy, said, “If SB 1172 passes, the hands of psychotherapists will be tied and adults struggling with unwanted same-sex attraction will be discouraged from seeking help. What is even more problematic is that the bill prohibits minors from receiving change therapy, even when their parents consent. This would usurp parents’ rights to determine the upbringing and education of their children, a right affirmed by the Supreme Court.”

“Reparative therapy, change therapy, works,” Campbell said. “I know people who have benefited from the therapy that the California Legislature is restricting,” she added.

The Director of Public Policy encouraged California state senators to vote against the bill, stating, “SB 1172 disrupts the psychotherapist-patient relationship, creates an unprecedented burden and corresponding liability for psychotherapists, and usurps parental rights.”

Liberty Counsel Action is a 501(c)(4), nonprofit, grassroots lobbying organization advancing religious and civil liberties, the sanctity of human life, the family, limited and responsible government, national security, and support for Israel.

Speaking before the Denton County GOP Thursday night, Ted Cruz promised when he is elected as the Senator to replace Kay Bailey Hutchison “Texas will Lead the way.” Casting his main primary opponent, Lt. Governor David Dewhurst, as an establishment insider, Cruz said that his grass roots campaign would overcome the $2 million per week spent by and for Dewhurst. Cruz said grass roots conservatives were not looking for moderate like Dewhurst.

Dewhurst currently leads in the polls as Cruz splits the conservative vote with Craig James, Tom Leppert and several others. The latest numbers show Cruz rising as he gains name recognition.

(click to enlarge)

Cruz, the former Solicitor General of Texas has been helped by Senator Jim DeMint and the Club for Growth. Just days ago, he received a big boost when Sarah Palin endorsed him. Cruz said he received 4000 individual donations within 48 hours of the Palin endorsement. Cruz pointed out that Palin endorsements helped Richard Mourdoch beat 36 year Indiana incumbent, Richard Lugar and aided Debra Fischer in her dramatic come from behind primary win in the Nebraska senate race.

Texas has a conservative super-majority in the House and strong control of the Senate (19-12). Texans deserve a constitutional conservative like Ted Cruz. Listen to Ted:

.

Texans, here is your chance to send a message to the current timid GOP leadership. Send Ted Cruz to the Senate to help Jim DeMint, Marco Rubio, Ron Johnson, Mike Lee and Rand Paul. It might give Leader Mitch McConnell a panic attack. Now wouldn’t that be delicious?
