Denying people their constitutional rights so as to be able to falsely imprison (almost exclusively males), to tear apart families, to enrich a political ideology is an egregious form of violence and hatred (misandry), that exists in American society today - - - in the gender feminist domestic violence industry and other gender feminist spawned evils.

I visited the Reagan Library in Simi Valley this week and just have to share a couple of relevant quotes and a few photos (for educational purposes) that were on the walls.

Daphne Patai (a former women’s studies teacher of 10 years) was once on Glenn Sack’s radio show, HisSide.  http://www.hisside.com/7_6_03.htm  In the show, she referred to women’s studies professors as “Stalinist feminists.” I don’t think there are many who will argue that most of the ones we’ve seen are flaming, cultural Marxist.

Anyone with experience with gender feminism can see the parallels between the ideology and actions of today’s gender feminist, cultural Marxists, and the ideology and actions of those in the former Soviet empire:

We are considered to have won the “cold war.” The U.S. government even issued a “Cold War Recognition Certificate” for people who were on active duty between 1945 and 1991. Here’s what the commemorative medal, issued by a private business, looks like.

Ironically, as David Horowitz points out, “We didn’t really win the cold war, it just came home.” Yes boys and girls the jack book Stalinists are in: a women’s studies program, a domestic violence industry program, a sexual harassment program, or family law court near you.

The traditional Marxist/Stalinist/Commie uniforms may not be there to alert us of the dangers,

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h53/MRA_06/ReaganLibrary/PC270049a.jpg

but the totalitarian warning signs can be seen all around us if we just take the time to scratch the surface of what the gender feminist movement is all about.

At the core of gender feminism, we see that their true intention is to destroy all of America’s traditional families in a misguided, insane attempt to free women from a falsely perceived “Patriarchal oppression.” Broken men (hardly Patriarchal oppressors) whose lives have been destroyed by cultural Marxist/gender feminist evils, litter the streets of California, and America.

Perhaps all Americans should borrow a line from one of Reagan’s famous speeches (update it) and ask our elected Representatives, (right here in America) to “tear down the evil, violent, man-hating walls of gender feminism, erected around so many males to imprison them from their civil rights,”

…before the sun sets on this once great nation.

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h53/MRA_06/ReaganLibrary/PC270103a.jpg(view from President Reagan’s crypt)

The words above President Reagan’s tombstone read: “I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph and there is purpose and worth to each and every life.”

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h53/MRA_06/ReaganLibrary/PC270104a.jpg

Mark Twain once said, “An optimist is a man with no experience.” Obviously, President Reagan could not foresee all the evil to come out of “worse than worthless,” gender feminist legislation like VAWA, during the Clinton years - or was he also blinded by too much time spent living in that chivalrous blind spot so many Republicans have today?

Yes, Reagan’s crypt has a lovely view of all the beautiful sunsets, but ultimately who among us in America is proving to be more blind to all the evils abounding in gender feminism, the living, or the dead?

Joy to the World, the Lord Is Come, Let Earth Receive Her King!

So goes the Christmas carol celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. At Christmastime, Christians the world over gather to acknowledge that Jesus Christ, God’s Son, came to rescue mankind from sinking into the pits of hell. Jesus became that bridge that connected mankind back to God again. Jesus offers hope.

The message of Christmas is just that, a message. About the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Too many people associate Christ’s birth as a story to tell, but they don’t connect with it. It is a necessary story, a true story of redemption of mankind. Without it, mankind would have no hope.

In a world where there is turmoil, Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace.

Even as Jesus Christ has ascended into the heavens and gone back to the Father, He left us inspiration and His love through His word, the Bible. As a source of strength, direction, and truth, Christians rely on the Bible. And they believe what it says. They believe in Christ’s words and follow His example.

Christians do not need other writings and scripts contradicting the Word of God and adding confusion. There is so much confusion put into the world today.

Gnosticism and anti-Christian teachings are on the rise that theorizes perhaps Jesus had a lover, siblings, or that he was only a teacher, etc.

USNews & World Report (Dec. 18), plastered on its cover, “In Search of the Real Jesus…New research questions whether he was more teacher than savior.” The article in relation to the stunning headline on the news magazine’s cover held the title, “The Gospel Truth…Why some old books are stirring up a new debate about the meaning of Jesus” (pg.70)
( http://www.usnews.com/usnews/news/articles/061210/18gospels.htm )

The article seeks to throw a wrench into Christianity by questioning whether Jesus was divine, or just a teacher. It mentions how Gnosticism is being revived, and how it is playing a part in the cultural struggle of today. It also examines how Gnosticism spawned several interpretations of the Gospels, including an alternate way of achieving salvation.

In the article, a bible scholar at Emory University, Luke T. Johnson, was quoted as saying that this rise in Gnosticism “threatens the shape of the Christian faith.” And it does.

The message of Jesus Christ is simple, just as Christ’s apostles presented it in the Bible. There was no confusion, no need to add anything to the powerful message of Christ:

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”–John 3:16 (NIV)

In the Bible, in the book of Matthew, the Christmas message is so plainly laid out, as Joseph, Mary’s soon to be husband is visited by an angel:

“Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” –Matthew 1:20-21

Verse 23 in the book of Matthew says, “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means, “God with us.”

That is pretty clear as to who Jesus was. IMMANUEL. The Bible BOLDLY declares Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

If anyone seeks to know who Jesus really is, all he/she needs to do is find a Bible. There’s all the truth one needs in that one book.

Jesus Christ, who was so giving of Himself to reconcile mankind back to God, would not make it difficult for anyone who is truly seeking to know Him.

Beware of additional texts that seem to contradict Jesus Christ as who He is, the savior of mankind, God’s only son. To be a Christian is to believe in the divinity of Christ.

It is my hope that Christians today would follow the example of the apostles. They were bold; they took the simple message of Christ to the far reaches of the globe with the help of the Holy Spirit. This crucial message is still in need of reaching those who don’t know Jesus, or have had their thoughts clouded by untruths about Christ that are circulating today.

As we reflect on God’s gift to mankind (Jesus Christ) during this holy time of year, let’s be vigilant to spread the message of Christmas, to share it with others. God TRULY loves us, He sent His son to rescue us.

All one needs to do is to believe in and call on Him… Jesus Christ. There you will find the truth.

The balance sheet of freedom

By Craig J. Cantoni

Have Americans become more or less free over the last century? Let’s examine some facts before attB. ECONOMIC FREEDOM

On the plus side:

• Enactment of NAFTA and other free-trade agreements

• Deregulation of the transportation industry

• Reduction in the capital gains tax

On the minus side:

• Ratification of the 16th amendment, which has led to massive income redistribution, a tripling of taxes over the last century, and a 40,000-page tax code that even IRS doesn’t fully understand

• Taking away people’s wages before they are received, through “withholding,” implemented in WWII

• Nationalized health care and pensions for the elderly, and the corresponding confiscation of income over a working life for Social Security and Medicare

• Beneficial creation of a Social Security Trust Fund that, hmmm, doesn’t exist

• IRS regulations such as Section 401(k) of the tax code, which appear to let taxpayers keep more of their retirement savings but actually restrict how much Americans can save for retirement without being taxed on their investment income — restrictions that didn’t exist 100 years ago

• Protective tariffs on sugar and other products, and massive subsidies for farmers and industry

• A smorgasbord of employment laws, minimum wage laws and living wage laws to control how business owners can run their own private businesses

• Skyrocketing growth in nice-sounding programs that are actually transfer payments, subsidies and handouts, so that 60% of federal spending, a 12-fold increase since 1900, is now just redistribution of wealth

• An alphabet-soup of regulatory agencies that make up their own rules, with the force of law, but without direct public controls — See the 29 agencies established by FDR.

• See the hundreds of federal agencies, boards and commissions since then: http://www.lib.lsu.edu/gov/fedgov.html

• 1,696 federal subsidy programs, a 44% increase since 1990 (http://www.cato.org)

• Government’s “take” from national income at 44% (up from 12% prior to 1930: http://mwhodges.home.att.net/piechart.htm

• United States drops to 10th place on the Index of Economic Freedom, which is published by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal

C. CONTROLLING GOVERNMENT GROWTH

On the plus side:

• Civil Aeronautics Board abolished on Dec. 31, 1984

On the minus side:

• Federal Register grew from 4,000 pages in 1935 to 68,000 today, a 17-fold increase (http://www.nationalreview.com)

• Consumers of wealth outnumber producers of wealth — in 1940, 4 million Americans worked for government and 11 million worked in manufacturing, versus 21.5 million and 14.5 million, respectively, today

• Government at all levels now costs each family of four approximately $50,000, double the amount in 1960, in inflation-adjusted dollars

• The number of state and local government employees grew 474% since 1946, versus the 212% growth in the population

• Average hourly earnings of state and local government employees are 31% higher than the average hourly earnings of private-sector employees, not counting the richer benefits of government employees

• Unfunded liabilities of $1.4 trillion for retiree medical plans of local and state employees (http://www.cato.org)

So — minuses outnumber and outweigh plusses in every category. However, the plusses are not as weak for Civil Liberties as they are for Economic Freedom and Growth in Government.

Why? The higher number and importance of civil-liberties plusses reflect the influence that opinion makers have on the body politic — mainstream media, the K-12 public education establishment, university faculties and Hollywood. Generally, they endorse most civil liberties but are lukewarm or hostile towards Second Amendment rights, property rights, free markets, individualism and limited government.

Have Americans become more or less free over the last century? They are freer with respect to several important civil liberties, but are less free with respect to other civil liberties, economic freedom and the growth in government.

pting an answer.

Look at three categories of freedom: civil liberties, economic freedom and size of government. As a starting point, balance sheets appear below for each category. Since the balance sheets are a work in progress, you are encouraged to offer additional facts and to point out where the balance sheets may be incorrect.

A. CIVIL LIBERTIES

On the plus side, the last century has seen:

• The end of segregation
• The enforcement of voting rights
• Increased tolerance for Jews, Catholics, homosexuals and other minorities
• Women’s suffrage

On the minus side, the last century has seen:

• State-endorsed affirmative action and set-asides that favor some races
• Speech codes on college campuses
• McCain-Feingold and other laws that restrict political speech
• The War on Drugs, which includes the prosecution of people who harm no one but themselves
• Ever-growing restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms
• The demonizing and massive taxing of people who enjoy tobacco
• Eminent domain abuses and other infringements of property rights
• Increased state involvement in the private and religious matter of holy matrimony
• Overwhelming state involvement in the personal matter of health care
• Social engineering by the left and right through the tax code
• The Patriot Act (which some say protects liberty by taking a lot of it away)
• An erosion of federalism (states’ rights) through new federal agencies and regulations, such as the Department of Education and the No Child Left Behind law
• The adoption of Blaine amendments in 38 states (which had the stated purpose of stopping the public funding of private schools but the real purpose of putting Catholic schools out of business)
• A slow and steady transformation of the nation from a constitutional republic to a majority-rule democracy, thus paving the way for the tyranny of the majority

Note: Some plusses and minuses are not listed, because they cancel each other out or were short-lived. For example, the 21st amendment canceled the 18th amendment (Prohibition). And the internment of the Japanese during WWII and the Alien and Sedition Acts of WWI were egregious but short-lived.

B. ECONOMIC FREEDOM

On the plus side:

• Enactment of NAFTA and other free-trade agreements

• Deregulation of the transportation industry

• Reduction in the capital gains tax

On the minus side:

• Ratification of the 16th amendment, which has led to massive income redistribution, a tripling of taxes over the last century, and a 40,000-page tax code that even IRS doesn’t fully understand

• Taking away people’s wages before they are received, through “withholding,” implemented in WWII

• Nationalized health care and pensions for the elderly, and the corresponding confiscation of income over a working life for Social Security and Medicare

• Beneficial creation of a Social Security Trust Fund that, hmmm, doesn’t exist

Read a review of his book about government abuse, Breaking From The Herd.

The lamestream media told you:

A child tragically killed his sibling with the gun of his mother’s live-in boyfriend this week in Phoenix (12/9/06). Guns are obviously dangerous and something should be done about this.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

The “news” media may pose an even greater risk to children than guns left floating about by reckless live-in boyfriends, experts said today.

Although the media is fairly diligent about gun homicide stories, the effects of tobacco, obesity and unhealthful foods, and the expensive but ineffective programs to combat these horrors, they have fully neglected to point out the severe dangers of single parenting on kids. The dead child was living with a single parent, a fact that was glossed over.

The risk of fatal abuse to such children is 73 times greater than for children with married parents, a Heritage Foundation study has found. Children living with cohabiting parents are three times more likely to have behavioral disorders than children who have married parents. Expulsion rates, disciplinary actions and learning problems show similar effects.

Headlines on the harmful effects of “non-traditional” families, exploding rates of out-of-wedlock births, and huge increases in single-parent or cohabiting non-parent families have failed to appear in the news, for reasons which remain unclear. The effect of this hidden danger is severe, experts believe.

The lamestream media told you:

Vice President “Dick” Cheney’s openly lesbian daughter Mary is pregnant.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

That’s impossible.

Mary Cheney’s partner of 15 years, Heather Poe, is said to be ecstatic. Lengthy stories carried everywhere failed to address how a lesbian couple might find themselves expecting.

No rumors of immaculate conception are circulating, despite the pregnant woman’s first name. If a man was involved, it’s unclear if the title “lesbian” would still apply. If reporters asked, it did not make it into published stories for some reason.

Extensive coverage of GLBT issues, political fallout for the vice president, religious objections to gay lifestyles, gay “marriage” amendments, and the wholesome relationship of the expectant couple, who attended a White House dinner for Prince Charles and his concubine (now wife) Camilla, have been reported.

Frequent charges of a gay agenda bias in the “news” media have been repeatedly denied. This is the first child for both women.

The lamestream media told you:

Five U.S. soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq, bringing the total in the first week of this month to 12. American newspapers have developed easy-to-recognize graphic sidebars for their routine reporting of U.S. military deaths by Muslim insurgents.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

The lamestream media has apparently stopped reporting on the number of Muslim extremists and jihadis killed by U.S. forces in Iraq. Although the number of Muslims who have killed each other is reported with some frequency, current “news” reports give the impression that U.S. soldiers simply hang out until they are killed, and do not fight back, shoot back, get payback, break things, seek and destroy the enemy, blow stuff up, or conduct operations against military targets.

The U.S. reportedly had 152,000 service personnel in Iraq in mid-November, most of them heavily armed and well equipped.

President Bush, in a recent speech that made little news, mentioned that we have killed or captured 5,900 enemy combatants in the past two-and-a-half months.

“If anyone is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.”–Luke 9:26 (NIV)

Those are the straightforward words of Jesus Christ as He spoke to His faithful followers while on earth. His words extend to the faithful today as well.

The lamestream media told you:

Congress, sensitive to the demands of environmentalists, has blocked drilling for oil within 100 miles of the U.S. coastline for years, despite a desperate need to reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Revenue from oil sales to Arab nations provides major funding for their terrorism operations against us and our allies.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

It was pointed out by Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Penn.) on the floor of Congress last week (broadcast on C-SPAN but not picked up by lamestream outlets) that Communist China, Communist Cuba, and Venezuela under Hugo Chavez are drilling for oil within 50 miles of the U.S. coast.

The lamestream media told you:

Guns were not much of an issue in the midterm elections, few politicians brought up the subject, Democrats know it’s a loser for them, and the new Congress will have other fish to fry.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

The Brady campaign released their gun agenda for the next Congress by direct mail on Nov. 22, absolutely giddy about changes the elections made in Congress. “We won more than 95% of the races where we endorsed a candidate,” they gushed, and now propose to:

• Re-enact the assault weapon ban
• Federalize all private gun sales
• Criminalize gun-show activity
• Strengthen the Brady law*
• Curb illegal gun sales*
• Pass life-saving gun laws*
• Repeal the Lawful Commerce in Firearms Act (the frivolous lawsuit ban)
• Limit the number of guns people can buy

*No details provided on what these goals might actually mean.

In addition, they plan to continue to fight for their “successes” while Republicans were in power:

• Block national concealed carry
• Maintain the gun-ban for Wash., D.C.
• Ban gun sales across state lines
• Continue gun-lock sales requirements
• Fight anything the “sleazy” (their word) NRA proposes
• Limit available “military-style firearms”
• Restrict “faster-firing, bigger clip” guns

After Katrina: “This will be a gun-free zone. We are going to confiscate every gun… Is that unreasonable?” –Illinois Democrat Senator Dick Durbin on the floor of Congress, July 13, 2006.

The Uninvited Ombudsman asks: should politicians who violate their oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution be removed from office or imprisoned?

The lamestream media told you:

Republican Mark Foley is a very bad man and a reason for the defeat of the Republican Party at the polls in November. Even though his badness was known for a long time, no action was taken against him. Democrats generally support gayness and Republicans generally do not, though both parties have some.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

As near as is known, Mark Foley, an acknowledged homosexual member of Congress, has been found guilty of writing words that are not approved of, but has committed no conduct that would be considered against the law, with underage male pages serving in Congress.

The consequences for using unapproved “salacious” words will appear in the Uninvited Ombudsman’s next book, his 11th, on the limits of free speech, currently entitled, “Bomb Jokes for Airports.”

The Wash., D.C.-based National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association’s guide to language for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community advocates against using the word “homosexual” to describe homosexuals, preferring the terms gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender, or simply GLBT. Older terms such as “fag” and “queer” are on the hate list and should never be used, the guide says.

Homosexuals may call each other fags and queers though, following the same hypocritical rules governing the “N” word for black and somewhat black people. Under these duplicitous guidelines, if you are a member of a group, you can use words that, if used by a non-member, constitute a hate crime. (NLGJA says gays have “reclaimed” these words as “self-affirming umbrella terms” but they remain “extremely offensive” for others to use.)

Isaac Asimov’s classic science fiction novels from the 1950s and 1960s often speak of things seeming queer, in the normal meaning of that word. Modern writers though have totally abandoned the word due to pressure from GLBTs (sometimes pronounced “gullbutts”).

The classic Christmas song “Deck The Halls” includes, “Don we now our gay apparel,” and the Flintstones theme says, “We’ll have a gay old time,” and are sung with gay abandon, though how much longer this may be acceptable is uncertain. No new material using gay or queer were known to be in the works at press time.

While the First Amendment says “Congress shall make no law,” regarding free speech, social engineers operating under political correctness have no such restriction. Some observers believe social pressure to be a far more pernicious and overarching set of rules than anything Congress can devise.

More than 400 things you’re not allowed to say are currently in the draft for “Bomb Jokes for Airports.” The book is expected out in 2007, but sometimes these things take longer than you expect.

Nearly every day, newspapers have stories about people in trouble somewhere for saying something. Look for it, it’s there.
