If you have children, or know someone who does (which pretty much means everyone) you should check out this report about American teens newest rage: exchanging sex for just about anything. According to the report, for instance, oral sex is considered by many teens and pre-teens as the equivalent of a 'goodnight kiss,' and prostitution is just another way of bartering for what they want.
Sharlene Azam, the woman reporter who was able to get kids to open up to her over a four-year period, told ABC News, "If you talk to teens [about oral sex] they'll tell you it's not a big deal. In fact, they don't consider it sex. They don't consider a lot of things sex."
This disturbing trend - in which it is believed more than half of all teens aged 15 to 19 - also may reveal a reason for the explosion in sexually transmitted diseases among pre-teens and teens. Apparently, not only are too many parents failing to set a good example and maintain behavioral standards for their kids, the media and school messages about AIDS/HIV and other STDs aren't getting as much promotion as the "anything goes" culture of sexuality. Even with all the other worries, this trend is going to present some long-lasting, tragic consequences for the entire nation. A CDC report on sexual trends will open your eyes to what has become a secret subculture which has long-term ramifications.
I urge you to pass the report on to those you care about. After spending untold millions of tax dollars, public school sex education has presented a mixed message at best, and millions of kids are putting themselves at risk in ways they cannot comprehend at their stage of life. It is up to those who actually love these kids to step up and get the point across in a way they can understand.
How the mighty have fallen. Irony of ironies...a recent article in Pravda, of all places, tells the truth about what is happening to America. For those who may be too young to know, Pravda was the premiere official propaganda organ of the Soviet Union. For them to be chastising us for chasing communism is the ultimate, albeit (in this case) honest indictment of what we've allowed to happen to us. How long will it be before the Obama-voters' euphoria finally succumbs to their chagrin for choosing the instrument of our destruction as a world leader? More accurately, perhaps, how many will discover the intellectual honesty to accept their gross mistake in judgment?
Coming soon: Another Holocaust? Amid all the other chaos it is spewing, the Obama malAdministration has left us wondering once again whether it is geopolitically clueless or actively working for the destruction of Western civilization. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was recently told by our government that we (the U.S.) "will not allow a Netanyahu government to hurt their efforts of rehabilitating U.S. relations with the Arab and Islamic world, which is a high priority of Obama." Abbas' senior political advisor was told that Obama has no problem with Jerusalem becoming the capital of a Palestinian state.
I'm curious; has President Obama ever heard of genocide? Because the Palestinians have no intention of living peacefully side-by-side with whatever is left of Israel after the Islamic world is finished literally slicing and dicing it and the Israeli people. If nothing else, his ready abandonment of our most trusted Middle Eastern ally is de facto evidence that his sympathies do not lie with Christianity (remember, he claimed to be a Christian during the campaign, but slipped up in an interview), but with Islam, the religion in which his formative years were spent. He is also apparently willing to throw US security out the window.
Speaking of holocaust... Dr. George Tiller was shot dead shot dead in his Wichita, Kansas church during Sunday service. Dr. Tiller, who was recently acquitted of doing illegal abortions, made a long career out of doing the procedures, even the particularly reprehensible (and they all are) late-term variety known as partial-birth abortions. I'm torn on this one. I find it abhorrent that he would be murdered in his own church (which presumably supported his vocation, since he was not only an active member, he was serving as an usher when he was shot), and it shouldn't have been committed by another citizen.
In my humble opinion, it is the government that has shirked its duty; it should not be allowing abortion to be a legally sanctioned growth (cynically speaking) industry in the first place. If government had followed its mandate to protect the innocent, and Dr. Tiller had then broken the law to commit the heinous acts, government should have prosecuted, and perhaps executed him for the murder of thousands of pre-birth babies (for the non-Christians, the Bible gives the government the sword for justice, even as it implies limits to its power. And his Reformation Lutheran Church, which sanctioned such an obviously unrepentant person, should come clean and admit that it is apostate and that it rejects the foundational theology of the Christian faith. To continue to delude people that it is a Christian church is a lie and a crime against God. That's my opinion and I'm welcome to it.
The real danger of this episode is aptly laid out by David Kupelian, the VP and managing editor of WorldNetDaily and Whistleblower magazine, and the author of his must-read expose' The Marketing of Evil. He points out that all it will take is a convenient event like Tiller's murder to open the door to full-blown despotism and a locked-down police state. I have no doubt that Obama -- aided by his trusted Oberleutnant Rahm Emanuel -- would love nothing more than an excuse to pull out all the stops (as if he isn't doing that now) in his power grab frenzy.
The push is already on to open the witchhunts against any perceived anti-abortion "terrorist" even though virtually all pro-life proponents have condemned the violent act, as pro-abortion activists who don't even know who the real fascists are continue to rev up their hate-filled rhetoric. There is already the expected rush by all things liberal to slam Fox News and anyone even remotely conservative for the actions of one lone individual. It's indicative of the twisted ruling mentality that violent acts by politically favored groups such as homosexuals and racists (depending upon who is 'in favor' at the moment) are minimized or even studiously ignored by the liberal media, who are among the most ardent supporters of fascism.
As I've noted before, I worry increasingly that the modern equivalent of Kristallnacht is about to hit America, and that conservatives and Christians are the new Jews in the crosshairs. However, while not generally going out of their way to rile others, American conservatives in particular are not known for passivism, and are not likely to go quietly into the darkness of persecution.

Tick...tick...tick
Before I rant, here's a great new acoustic music video from "Big N' Rich's John Rich to get you in the spirit. Enjoy!
While America is being steamrolled into oblivion by this president and his co-conspirators, many of our countrymen remain oblivious to the approaching collapse of life as we know it. And in their mental oblivion, they become unwitting participants in the drama. Take the University of Notre Dame, for example. A bastion of Catholic higher education (and yes, that football thing), the iconic school has invited President Obama to deliver the commencement address to this year's graduating class, and receive an honorary degree. When critics noted that Obama has dedicated himself to all things diametrically opposed to Church positions, university president Rev. John I. Jenkins held fast, issuing a lame statement to the effect that, just because Obama speaks at the school doesn't mean the school endorses his positions on such matters as abortion and embryonic stem cell research. I guess Rev. Jenkins thinks that he can invite the Devil to tea and not get burned.
In Kansas, serial abortionist George Tiller was let off the hook when he was acquitted of all 19 misdemeanor counts relating to violations of state law regarding abortions. Thirty other counts were dropped in 2006 by State Attorney General Phil Kline, which may have had an influence on the outcome of the latest trial. Tiller specializes in late-term (i.e., partial-birth) abortions. It should be noted that even if he had been convicted the case would have been appealed, and 4 of the 7 state Supreme Court justices were appointed by Governor Sebellious, who is an abortion supporter. I will probably rant further on this topic at some point, but for now, the silent holocaust continues.
I've noticed that at least in our area of upstate New York, there has been a minimal impact on the surface (in other words, where most people live) so far. But things are changing behind the scenes at a rapid pace, and if those changes continue we will be seeing significant changes before too long. If you're one of those people who still thinks life is going on as usual, consider this very short list:
- Californication, the state that has served as a test bed for the coming Socialist States of Amerika, has upped the ante for government intrusion yet again, this time by taking the campaign joke about maintaining tire pressure and turning it into a law. By 2010, service stations will be required to check tire pressure when a vehicle is brought in for service, such as oil changes. While it is a good idea to maintain correct pressure, this is another example of government micromanaging our lives; and ideas such as this will certainly spread to other states. The problem is that a government out of control does not know when to stop, and every intrustion will cost the taxpayer money, time and another piece of freedom.
- The Obama malAdministration is seriously looking at a new United Nations document on climate change (the new language for the increasingly-discredited global warming) which, if adopted, will transfer trillions of dollars, will likely cost millions of American jobs, and add even more onorous taxes (which will go to the UN, and you know how well they handle money). Defenders of the proposal claim it will produce new jobs, but how many people can you employ making solar panels (mostly made overseas) and windmills; especially when the environmental wacko lobby now wants to prevent solar panel farms and windmills from 'cluttering up' the deserts and other prime areas?
- In London and other European cities, mobs protested the upcoming G20 summit, spouting the usual socialist mantras, apparently oblivious to the fact that socialism has caused most of the problems they are complaining about. And it's likely to get a lot worse, as authorities are
gearing up for an anticipated "summer of rage." Europe is ahead of us in feeling the crunch of financial collapse as demand outweighs supply in jobs, and necessities become more expensive and scarce. 'Rage' riots may be coming to our shores if the current trends aren't slowed or reversed.
- In the latest episode of using language to screw us up, the much-hyped Freedom Tower, which is intended to replace the fallen World Trade Center, will now be renamed "One World Trade Center". So what was supposed to be a monument to the thousands who died on September 11 will instead become a monument to the new "One World" mantra (Oh, you thought it referred to just the address? Tsk, tsk.) I wonder if the name change had anything to do with the Chinese buying several floors of the new skyscraper.
- And let's not forget the unprecedented power grab by the malAdministration, which are literally taking us to the brink of dictatorship. Kudos to congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, a down-to-earth Christian conservative republican from Minnesota who drives the lefties crazy, asked "Turbo-Tax Tim" Geithner and Ben Bernancke some tough questions during hearings concerning a global currency. However, neither men answered her inquiries as to "What provision of the Constitution gives authority to the Federal Reserve for the extraordinary actions that have been taken?" After dancing around the questions without answering Bachmann's very specific questions, Chairman Barney Fife...er...Frank perfunctorily cut her off. But let's not forget that Mr. Frank is himself up to his eyeballs in this mess, and is in the peculiar position of being able to protect himself by silencing opposition. And I believe that tactic is becoming the principle operating principle of this government. First, they try to silence opposition, then they try to discredit it, and when that fails they try to destroy it. Keep your eye on the Left as it attacks the voices of the Right.
Now I want to address what I believe is a very important topic: the Second Amendment. Let me state at the outset that I hope and pray that we can weather this purposely induced economic storm without turning to violence, as have most other countries facing such problems.
It is hardly a secret that the Left dearly wishes to remove the right to private possession of arms (of course, the ruling elite and their sycophants would be exempt). The fact is that no totalitarian or authoritarian government would or could allow a free people to retain weapons (the exception being Saddam Hussein, who so terrorized his people that few would dare raise a hand against him for fear of retaliation upon their family in the most horrendous ways. He allowed citizens to keep an AK47 at home, ostensibly to react to mobilization orders in event of invasion).
Some conservative pundits -- including my current favorite, Glenn Beck -- claim to support the Second Amendment, yet totally distance themselves from even the possibility that the American people might present an armed response to dictatorship. I believe he and those of similar opinion may feel they have to keep that rhetorical distance for (justified) fear of being held responsible for any such action that might take place. Still, the fact remains that the Founders' primary intent for including the amendment was not for sport or hunting, it was for the citizens' defense of their families, to facilitate gathering together into a "well regulated militia" to resist foreign invasion, and most importantly to some, to resist tyranny. If you totally discount any possible scenario that might call for resorting to coordinated, armed rebellion against such an internal and infernal foe, why argue for the right to keep and bear arms at all?
If I haven't done so already, let me make my own position clear; any armed rebellion must be the absolute last resort, having exhausted all other options. Take me at my word, I don't want to see it happen. Too many honest, hardworking, good people would get hurt and killed, many more would be branded as criminals and imprisoned, and too few would think it through before they acted. It's even possible that an aspiring Fuhrer would want such an insurrection to occur, because it would present the perfect opportunity to impose martial law, to disarm the people and institute other draconian measures to quell it, thereby insuring his continuing reign ("Never let a good crisis go to waste." -- Rahm Emmanuel). Isolated incidents would be quickly suppressed and mopped up, intimidating others into submission. When government no longer fears the people, it will be the people who fear not only the true criminals, but their government 'protectors' as well.
Are you really depressed now? Before you think I'm all soft and fluffy, consider the other side of this coin: there are currently several million Americans -- men and women from all walks of life -- who have had combat or law enforcement training, and hundreds of thousands who have seen and experienced combat personally. And a lot of them actually love their country and respect the Constitution. They know about the horrors of war, and would not want to see it on the home front.
That being said, any aspiring dictator should be aware that we Americans can be a pernicious lot. Amid the masses of the dumbfounded sheeple there are some real tigers among us; tigers with both claws and brains. We can take a lot, but most have a line drawn within us that you don't want to cross. The Civil War showed that Americans will fight for what they believe, even against their own countrymen and families. It is the most egregious form of war, but let me put it to you this way: if you were a citizen of Nazi Germany -- especially if you knew of the horrors committed in your name -- how long would you have remained just another compliant citizen of the Reich? How long will you allow fear to rule you? And if you are a cop or a soldier, how far would you go in obeying orders you knew were immoral or illegal? Would you be loyal to the oath you took to defend the Constitution, or would you meekly defer to the ruling class because it provides you with "3 hots and a cot"?
As this government continues to dismantle the efforts of two centuries of freedom and growth; as they spit on the graves of hundreds of thousands who gave their lives for this country; as they continue to provoke us, to divide us, to silence us, to destroy our prosperity and enslave our posterity to debt and poverty it becomes increasingly possible that somewhere, sometime they will move the balance beam of a civil society over the fulcrum of restraint. And on that day, there will be Hell to pay.
The question remains, what will be the 'tipping point'?
