The left goes anti-South Dakota women

Here is a comment from Chad Schuldt’s web site:

...where's Looby?? we need her...plus she's the best looking Dem in the state

Here is the reply that slams South Dakota women:

Don't get excited!
Not to take anything away from Kate but you're in South Dakota. How hard could it be.

Ouch!

MSM busted again

From Melanie Morgan (read the whole thing):

During the 2000 and 2004 election cycles, liberal journalists showed just how desperate they were to defeat the Republican candidate for president, George W. Bush.

Journalistic standards? Gone. Objectivity? Gone. Not even a pretense for fair and balanced reporting anywhere on the airwaves or in print.

There was the last-minute DUI scandal, forged memos used by Dan Rather to question Bush's National Guard service, the supposed stolen munitions in Iraq that were supposed to be the fault of the Bush administration's incompetence.

…

The highest profile race for Congress this year is the battle that is taking place to fill the vacant 50th congressional seat in California. The seat has traditionally been a bedrock Republican seat, but now that stands in jeopardy.

The contest features an extremely liberal anti-war Democrat, named Francine Busby. Busby is an abortion militant who has campaigned with Howard Dean and who favors amnesty for illegal immigrants. She's taken to the streets to protest the war against terrorism and been a frequent guest on the liberal scandal-plagued network, Air America.

Her most generous backers are with MoveOn.org who have already raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Busby's campaign and now they are busing in volunteers from around the nation to stump for her campaign.

On the other side is a conservative Republican hero named Howard Kaloogian, who has been a conservative leader for the key causes of our time.

…

The irony became especially rich when conservative bloggers discovered that Newsweek was engaging in complete hypocrisy. The conservative pajama-clad Internet activists over at FreeRepublic.com had their own fun reporting the story of "Newsweek Nailed by Conservative Republicans" based on the fact that Newsweek made their own mistake in reporting Kaloogian as a sitting congressman. He isn't – at least not yet.

In their condemnation of Kaloogian's website error, they made their own mistake. Hypocrisy? I think so!

Two things come to mind.

One, is this the best the liberal media can do to smear a conservative hero in his race for Congress?

Public education's anti-family agenda

From Gary Bauer:

In 1990, I co-authored "Children at Risk," a book exposing the cultural forces in education that endanger our children and showing parents what they can do to defend their families against an ever-encroaching liberal agenda.

Sixteen years on, and things have scarcely improved. In fact, judging from some recent developments, it's become clear our children are at greater risk than ever from an education establishment gone wild.

…

Teacher William McBeth, who at the age of 71 decided to have a sex-change operation and become Lily McBeth, has just been allowed to resume teaching his fourth-grade class – against the protestations of most of the school's parents.

In New York, along with the ABCs, all public-school kindergartners will now learn about HIV. That's right, a new state law requires elementary-school teachers' lesson plans to include a project that tells kindergartners to play "doctors" and discuss HIV. While education officials insist teachers won't mention that HIV is transmitted through sexual contact until students reach the fourth grade, one perceptive parent asked, "How do you talk about AIDS without talking about sex and drugs?" You don't; so they will.

To understand how such absurd policies gain sanction, one need look no further than the nation's largest teachers' union. It was recently revealed that the National Education Association gave $65 million last year to liberal interest groups that have nothing to do with education, including $51,000 to People for the American Way and $15,000 to the Human Rights Campaign. How does donating to the Human Rights Campaign, which lobbies for "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equal rights," fulfill the NEA's stated mission of securing better work conditions and wages for public school teachers – unless, of course, you're Lily McBeth?

Is it any wonder our children lag behind their counterparts in other countries in numerous basic educational categories? Many teachers seem more concerned with political indoctrination than with teaching children the basic knowledge and skills they will need to participate in an ever-competitive world.

Sadly, the liberal indoctrination of our children does not end at high-school graduation – in fact, it only gets worse as they ascend to the highest levels of academia.

We all remember Colorado "ethnic studies" professor Ward Churchill, who made headlines last year when it was discovered he had published essays stating that the United States got what it deserved on 9-11 and calling World Trade Center victims "Little Eichmanns," a reference to the Nazi Holocaust engineer. But did you know that a former deputy foreign secretary of the Taliban is now a student at Yale University – the same school that bars the ROTC from its campus because of the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays? Has Yale forgotten that the Taliban routinely threw homosexuals into ditches and bulldozed concrete walls over them? Don't ask. Do the feminists at Yale know that the Taliban used to pull out the fingernails of Afghan women who committed the crime of wearing fingernail polish? Don't tell.

Most women are not anti-family feminists

From The Times Online:

Female liberation is a myth, delegates are told at the British Psychological Society conference

WOMEN may well have come a long way since the sexual revolution of the Sixties and Seventies, but research suggests that the enormous strides that they have made in the workplace have not been matched in the bedroom.

The portrayal of complete female sexual liberation in television shows such as Sex and the City could be a myth, according to research suggesting that many women regard one-night stands and casual sex as wrong.

The idea that women might seek to have a one-off sexual encounter purely in the pursuit of pleasure is simply not believed by most women, who regard others who have one-night stands as desperate, pitiful or extremely needy.

Sibby is right about anti-American left

And I am talking about the anti-American so-called "progressives". Now there is a book that provides the documented proof:

The Cold War may be over, but there is more interaction between anti-American radical groups, American "progressive" organizations and hostile foreign governments than most Americans realize, reveals an explosive new book by a retired intelligence officer, who, for the first time, tracks the interlocking connections between them.

In "Radical Road Maps: Untangling the Web of Connections Among Far-Left Groups in America," James Hansen dissects 29 such organizations and reveals their links, their goals, how they operate, why they have been so successful and how they impact American politics and culture.

Hansen brings his nearly 30 years of experience as an operations officers and analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency and as a senior official in the Defense Intelligence Agency counterintelligence office to the task of chronicling the connections of radical groups – a systematic process never before attempted. A graduate of the University of Michigan, he is the author of "Correlation of Forces: Four Decades of Soviet Military Development and Japanese Intelligence: The Competitive Edge."

Hansen makes the case that both the media and government officials are complicit in the cover-up of what some of the most notorious radical groups really represent.

"Today, radical groups such as the troika of the Workers World Party, International Action Center and Act Now to Stop War and End Racism have sponsored and organized the largest demonstrations against the U.S. war in Iraq," the author says. "The radical troika is helped by a host of liberal groups that participate in these demonstrations, that ignore any warnings of the troika's true character, or that otherwise give radicals a stage or a media outlet. To this day, liberals in the print and broadcast media have obscured the nature radical groups while liberal members of the U.S. Congress have gone out of their way to accommodate and support various radical groups."

Among the other groups that get special attention from Hansen are the American Civil Liberties Union, National Lawyers Guild, Institute for Policy Studies, Center for Constitutional Rights, Center for National Security Studies, Revolutionary Communist Party USA, People for the American Way, Democratic Socialists of America, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, MoveOn.org, Media Matters and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. He also takes a close look at individuals such as George Soros and Ramsey Clark.

Employing analytical intelligence techniques and diagrams that seek to clarify the web of connections to expose the radical core, military intelligence expert Hansen helps pave the way for a counteroffensive against what he sees as an anti-American con job.

David Horowitz, former leftist and best-selling author, has this to say about "Radical Road Maps": James Hansen has written a much-needed guide to the fifth-column Left, which wants America to lose the war on terror and will do everything in its power to help the terrorists to win."

"In an era of peace, these aberrant affiliations seem harmless; but in the age of terrorism, these groups become an unwitting – and often more witting – propaganda tool and fifth column for terrorists seeking to mollify and then destroy Western freedoms," says Elizabeth Bancroft, executive director of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers. "An important reminder of how easily dissent can become malignantly distorted, metastasize, and kill its host."

"Radical Road Maps" is a handbook designed to help Americans understand how extremist groups are penetrating every element of society. By understanding each group's philosophy, techniques and overall effectiveness, citizens will be equipped to make educated decisions at the ballot box and in everyday life.

We are better off

From WorldNetDaily:

Ahead of mid-term elections this fall, most Americans believe they are better off today than they were four years ago, according to a new poll.

A Rasmussen Reports national opinion survey of 5,000 adults found 55 percent agree they're doing better while 36 percent believe they are not.

Ron Brown

From Jack Cashill (read the whole thing):

On April 3, 1996, Commerce Secretary Ron Brown and 34 others died following the crash of an Air Force plane into a Croatian hillside.

Ten years later, Brown confidante Nolanda Butler Hill wonders why no one is paying any heed to the 10th anniversary of his death. How often is it, she asks, that a U.S. Cabinet member dies on duty in a foreign country, receives a hero's burial in Arlington National Cemetery, and then is quickly and decisively forgotten.

Hill speculates that it may have something to do with the fact that Ron was black. That may be part of the equation, but as Hill knows, the issue goes much deeper than race. "The reason Ron Brown died," says Hill with conviction, "was because he had no choice but to bring the Clinton presidency down."

A lifelong Democrat, Hill contends that Brown's memory will remain suppressed as long as Hillary Clinton remains a viable candidate. My experiences with the major media on this issue suggest that she is almost assuredly correct. To a person, black or white, reporters and producers do not want to hear anything about Ron Brown, this despite the fact that his past surely colors the future of his son Michael, now running for mayor in Washington, D.C.

Hill is convinced and always has been that Ron Brown was assassinated. At the time of his death, I had refused to believe such a scenario possible. I was doing talk radio then in Kansas City, and I vigorously rejected all speculation about conspiracy. When I started research for my book, "Ron Brown's Body," in 2003, I began with the conviction that the plane crash was accidental and the famed hole in Brown's head was some sort of anomaly. To say the least, I have lost that conviction.

I lost the conviction even before I found the critical evidence deep in the 22-volume USAF report, before I reviewed the forensic data on Brown's head wound, or heard the first hand accounts from U.S. Navy forensic photographer, Kathleen Janoski, who discovered it. What caused me to doubt was what I learned about Brown's state of mind before his death.

Hear the truth about Iraq

SDP has a post regarding an Iraq Vet:

Joel Arends, USD law student and Iraq vet, spoke in Aberdeen on Tuesday night. Joel gave a brilliant presentation about his experience in Iraq and what lessons we on the home front can gain from that experience. I see a consistent message coming out of Iraq vets I know, and it's that what is happening there and what is reported here are not the same thing. Let's not sugar coat things, but there are success stories that are not getting told.

Joel will be in Mitchell on April 5^th at 3:00 to speak at DWU’s Sherman center. Ignore the MSM and hear the truth about Iraq from someone who has been there.

Permanent campaign continues

[Update for Schuldt's Kool-Aid drinkers: Schuldt can't stand it when I actually explain media bias. His feeble attempts at holding the MSM accountable are his typical name calling without substance by calling the media "pathetic cowards". But the RCJ showed us just how "fakey" Schult is. so stop drinking his Kool-Aid. It will cause you to lose touch with reality.]

The Democrats falsely claims that their petition drive to put the abortion ban on the ballot is an exercise in democracy, but that is not how they view the voters’ rejection of Tom Daschle when we elected John Thune in 2004. Ever since the election, the Democrats, in collaboration with the Argus Leader, have been on a deceptive and ugly anti-Thune campaign that is designed to undermine the democratic process by misinforming voters. Today’s David Kranz column is just another example of this. Excerpt:

The DM&E railroad loan is an issue in a California special congressional election primary April 11. Eric Roach, a Republican candidate, swipes at Sen. John Thune in speeches and his campaign brochure without naming him.

Under a heading: "The federal highway account has become the poster child of what is wrong in Washington, D.C.," Roach charges: "One U.S. Senator set aside $7 billion in highway funds for railroads so his former lobbying client in South Dakota could apply for $2.5 billion of that money! Should San Diego County drivers continue to pay 18 cents per gallon in federal gas taxes so they can have better railroads in South Dakota?"

This is just another example of Kranz’s pro-Democrat spin. The real reason why Thune was not named was because it was South Dakota that was being attacked, not John Thune. When it was Tom Daschle using his Senate position to bring money to South Dakota, Kranz bragged about how Daschle was bringing home the bacon.

And the Argus Leader newsroom is no better. They run a front-page report attacking Thune in a follow the money spin job regarding Dan Nelson automotive. But where was the Argues Leader when the money trail involved Focus South Dakota receiving blood money from Planned Parenthood and NARAL. Why wasn’t the story about Democrats in bed with the special interests who are profiting from the killing of unborn babies?

While Focus South Dakota were running ads for Tom Daschle’s failed re-election effort in 2004, that was partially funded with money from NARAL, Daschle was running away from his efforts to raise money for NARAL in 2002. Here is what the Rapid City Journal reported in 2004:

Two years after Sen. Tom Daschle sent out a fund- raising letter for the National Abortion Rights Action League saying he had "stood up for a woman's right to choose," Daschle refuses to say whether he is pro-choice on abortion.

The South Dakota Democrat avoided making a direct response to the question several times Monday during a telephone interview from Washington, D.C. Rather than address the pro-choice question directly, Daschle stated his long-standing personal view that each abortion is a tragedy but that the solution lies in finding better options rather than criminalizing the act itself.

Many people would consider that a pro-choice position, if pro-choice means leaving the decision of whether to have an abortion, in most instances, up to the pregnant woman and her doctor. But Daschle firmly avoided saying those words.

"I am opposed to abortion. And I'm very strongly in favor of finding alternatives to abortion," Daschle said. "I believe that sending a young woman and her doctor to jail is the wrong remedy."

When reminded that he had said in the Oct. 29, 2002 letter, that the "Senate's pro-choice leadership" was being threatened by "anti-choice force," he still refused to say whether he considered himself pro-choice.

Daschle also questioned the appropriateness of the question.

So Daschle was not comfortable with disclosing his association with NARAL abd beinbg "pro-choice". And as I have previously reported, Jim Robinson, treasurer of Focus South Dakota, lied about the funding they received from NARAL as they try to con South Dakota into thinking we are pro-choice with a fake poll.

So we have the Argus Leader not reporting on a Democrat sitting Senator who refuses to admit he raised money for NARAL, and also refuses to disclose money NARAL gave to an organization who ran ads for that Democrat Senator. But they put on the front-page a Republican Senator, who prior to being elected, was on a Bank board who lent money to a car dealer who went bankrupt. But not disclose that the bankruptcy was due to the unfounded allegations of a Democrat attorney general from Iowa.

I think Webster will use that as the definition of bias in their next edition.

Sex, alcohol, and video games

Rebecca Hegelin has a column that brings up another issue that can be harmful to children...violent entertainment. She starts out with an example:

"Life is like a video game. Everyone has to die sometime."

If you spent part of your youth playing "Pac-Man" and "Space Invaders," such a statement must seem bizarre. Video games were … well, games – innocent diversions that did nothing worse than eat up dotted lines and too much of our allowances. A waste of time? Perhaps. But nobody got hurt.

At least, they didn't used to.

The opening statement above was spoken by Devin Moore, a teenager who murdered three people – two police officers and a 911 dispatcher – in a Fayettesville, Ala., police station in 2003. Arrested on suspicion of car theft, Moore was brought in for booking and ended up on a bloody rampage.

He lunged at Officer Arnold Strickland, grabbed his gun and shot him twice. Officer James Crump, who responded to the sound of the gunfire, was shot three times. And before he ran outside with police car keys he snatched, Moore put five bullets in Dispatcher Ace Mealer. Was this the first time Moore had committed such a heinous crime? Yes and no.

Moore was a huge fan of a notorious video game called Grand Theft Auto. As the title suggests, the goal is to steal cars. If that's all there was to the "game," it would be bad enough, but it gets worse: The way to acquire and hold on to the cars is to kill the police officers who try to stop you. And the sick minds behind the game give you plenty of choices – shooting them with a rifle, cutting them up with a chainsaw, setting them on fire, decapitation.

If you shoot an officer, you get extra points for shooting him in the head. It's no surprise, then, that all of Moore's real-life victims had their heads blown off.

According to court records, Moore spent hundreds of hours playing Grand Theft, which has been described as "a murder simulator."

And now Congress is taking another look at this problem:

But this time, his victims weren't a collection of animated pixels on a TV screen. They were flesh-and-blood human beings whose lives were snuffed out in seconds. They had families who continue to mourn their loss – such as Steve Strickland, Officer Strickland's brother. Tomorrow, he will testify before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Property. Chaired by Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., the purpose of the hearing is to examine the constitutionality of state laws regulating the sale of ultra-violent video games to children. Three psychologists will testify about the potential link between playing violent video games and copycat violence, and whether the games contribute to aggressive behavior.

With the ever-expanding use of technology by our children, such hearings are critical. We must determine if Moore and other murderers like him are anomalies or if ultra-violent video games dangerously warp the psyches of our youth. Those tempted to scoff at the connection between video games and behavior should bear a couple of things in mind. First, video games are not passive or spectator media. While playing the game, teenage boys and young men – the largest users of video games – actually become the characters who cut up their victims with chainsaws, set them on fire, or chop off their heads.

According to Dr. Elizabeth Carll of the American Psychological Association (who also will testify tomorrow), this active participation enhances the "learning" experience. And video games are often played repeatedly for hours on end – so, hour after hour, teens playing games such as Grand Theft Auto "learn" how to kill police officers and earn points for their barbarianism.

Hegelin then brings forward a point that the far-left promoters for comprehensive sex education don’t understand:

The second fact to keep in mind is that teenagers' brains are still developing and are extremely impressionable. The parents of teens hardly need reminding that for all their joys, teens often lack judgment, critical thinking skills and foresight.

Speaking of sex, note the reference to pornography:

And as a staunch conservative who believes that "the government that governs least governs best," I'm not advocating a plethora of laws that may have a chilling effect on free speech. I do, however, recognize that it is sometimes necessary to provide special protections for minors from harmful materials – take pornography and alcohol, for example. As a mother, I also believe that our nation must examine how the products of our toxic culture affect the civility and safety of our children and of our society. We owe it to the students who died at Columbine; we owe it to Devin Moore's victims ... we owe it to our own children.

But the ending demonstrates that we should not do what the far-left wants, replace parenting with the government:

But armed with the truth, and a God-given mandate to train our own children, we must never depend on government to take care of our kids or raise them. Parents must wake up to the fact that our nation's boys are being used and manipulated by an industry making billions of dollars by warping their minds. As I outline in my book, "Home Invasion: Protecting Your Family in a Culture That's Gone Stark Raving Mad," it doesn't take an act of Congress to take back your home – it takes active, loving, informed parenting. It takes setting boundaries and sticking with them. It takes understanding our kids, and understanding that our kids need us to guide them.

This is something the anti-family left does not understand as they promote public education as the substitute for parents through the coordinated health program, where you will find the comprehensive sex education agenda. Their premise is that parents are not doing their job, so educators have to.
