History Channel - FAIL- Yet Again

I am sure a lot of you have taken notice of the downhill slide of the History Channel. They used to actually have interesting programming. It has gradually moved into conjecture and opinion presented as fact. They have presented countless documentaries attempting to discredit Christianity and its' symbols as well as many once-respected historic figures.

Next week (Dec. 13), they will present a documentary called "The People Speak", from socialist Howard Zinn, featuring the always delightful Danny Glover, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Bruce Springsteen and more. No agenda there...

Howard Zinn hopes to move his own special brand of Hate America revisionist history from the college level all the way down to pre-K. You can read all about it on Big Hollywood here:
.chttp://bighollywood.breitbartom/pcourrielche/2009/12/07/next-week-on-the-history-channel-hollywood-stars-introduce-your-kids-to-marxism/

We have made it clear to our sons that the History Channel is NOT an objective and accurate source, and it is a shame that many people will never realize this. In my opinion, it is immoral and unethical to use their platform to push agendas and rewrite history, and they do it constantly. Please get the word out that this documentary will be far from accurate, and is actually promoting socialism/Marxism.

Here is a little something from the creator, Howard Zinn, published on July 4, 2007:

On this July 4, we would do well to renounce nationalism and all its symbols: its flags, its pledges of allegiance, its anthems, its insistence in song that God must single out America to be blessed.

Is not nationalism -- that devotion to a flag, an anthem, a boundary so fierce it engenders mass murder -- one of the great evils of our time, along with racism, along with religious hatred?

These ways of thinking -- cultivated, nurtured, indoctrinated from childhood on -- have been useful to those in power, and deadly for those out of power.

National spirit can be benign in a country that is small and lacking both in military power and a hunger for expansion (Switzerland, Norway, Costa Rica and many more). But in a nation like ours -- huge, possessing thousands of weapons of mass destruction -- what might have been harmless pride becomes an arrogant nationalism dangerous to others and to ourselves.

Our citizenry has been brought up to see our nation as different from others, an exception in the world, uniquely moral, expanding into other lands in order to bring civilization, liberty, democracy.

New Attack on Christmas the Worst Yet: Updated

In past years, there have been complaints on the "attack on Christmas", especially with stores refusing to acknowledge the holiday in their ads. This year it's gone way past that.

Yesterday it was Mrs. Claus sleeping with a snowman and today it's Rude Frosty. Radicals are telling us not to celebrate Christmas due to the environment and humanists are running ads on buses to defeat Christmas. (Links to each of these below.)

I'm sorry, but I think this is more than a matter of bad taste. It appears to be an all out assault on the religious holiday, tearing down any and every symbol of it. We should all be screaming. Even those who are not Christians should be screaming at this assault on the culture and on their children.

Either the media no longer has any sense of morality or they are doing this in a conscious effort to destroy the innocence and wonder of a religious holiday. Either way, it's not a good thing.

Radical environmentalist- http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2009/12/to_the_editor_save_the_earth_g.html

Secularist- http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/local/120308_Metro_fields_hundreds_of_complaints_about_bus_ads.html

Christians must stand up now while they still can, and those who are not Christians might want to think about joining them, before the next group to be attacked like this is yours.

UPDATE: Here's another little gem to add to the list; "Santa Claus is Coming Out" on Broadway, where Santa has a relationship with toymaker Geppeto:

Teleprompters May Run for Office in the Near Future

Why do we really even need actual people to run for office? Why not skip a step and just elect a teleprompter?

What Homeland Security?

http://tinyurl.com/ykaqs6p

Our Homeland Security chief was in Saudi Arabia this weekend, explaining how she is working to protect Muslims from backlash.
Maybe it's just me, but shouldn't she be here in the US, worrying about how to protect our troops from terrorist attacks?
Needless to say, I do not want to see anyone harrassed unfairly, but so far there has been no evidence of this. The media and administration seems entirely focused on this and will not even call it "terrorism". A killer is being painted as someone with PTSD rather than a terrorist.
Anyone with common sense needs to start asking what is going on here?

Obama Uses Ft. Hood to Get Bill Passed

Just read this morning that Obama used Ft. Hood to put a guilt trip on representatives to pass this bill. "Real" Americans die for their country, as in Ft. Hood, and are not afraid to vote for something, even if it might cost them reelection.
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20091108/D9BR59EO0.html
"Participants also said Obama had referred to this week's shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in which 13 people were killed. His remarks put in perspective that the hardships soldiers endure for the country are "what sacrifice really is," as opposed to "casting a vote that might lose an election for you," said Rep. Robert Andrews, D-N.J."
I can't imagine having the nerve to use this tragic event to pass a bill that Americans overwhelmingly reject. They know no bounds.

On Being Judgmental

I think it's been incredibly hard for many of us to fight being judgmental in today's polarized world. This quote might be helpful, as it was to me:

“It is a fearful thing to hate whom God hath loved. To look upon another his weaknesses, his sins, his faults, his defects is to look upon one who is suffering. He is suffering from negative passions, from the same sinful human corruption from which you yourself suffer. This is very important: do not look upon him with judgmental eyes of comparison, noting the sins you assume you’d never commit. Rather, see him as a fellow sufferer, a fellow human being who is in need of the very healing of which you are in need. Help him, love him, pray for him do unto him as you would have him do unto you.”
–Attributed to St. Tikhon of Zadonsk (1724 – 1783)

Misleading Posts About Beck in Attempt to Justify Their "Hate Speech" Argument

RE: Our post about churches promoting the Obama agenda and accusing others of hate speech, I see that many are using the following type of headlines such as this one, "Glenn Beck compares Fox News to Holocaust victims". These false posts are all over the internet.
This is a ridiculous and twisted take on what he actually said. The word "holocaust" was never used and the meaning of what he said was very different. His point was that if we allow others to be shut down and freedom of speech to be taken, then we may be the next victims. Anyone who has seen it knows this was the point, and are obviously trying to smear him. Watch the video and judge for yourself:

Is Your Church Pushing the Obama Agenda?

Yesterday, Jeffrey Lord posted an excellent article on the Spectator site called "FCC-Church Conspiracy to Silence Talk Radio and Fox". This is a must read. Were you aware that your church may be involved in the attempt to shut down free speech?

From his article:
• The media package sent to UCC church members by Guess also solicits support to remove Lou Dobbs from television and intimidate sponsors of Glenn Beck's TV show into pulling their advertising. The link for this is here: http://www.uccfiles.com/swms/
• The following religious denominations have agreed to sign on to the request to the FCC. They are: the United Church of Christ, U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops, the Islamic Society of North America, United Methodist Communications, Presbyterian Church USA, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and several other "faith groups".
• These religious groups are to convey the idea that talk radio and Fox News are guilty of "hate speech" as illustrated by links naming or presenting Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Lou Dobbs, Michael Savage in this fashion."

The full article HERE.

This is surprising to many, but it's not new. They have been acting on behalf of their national membership for years. Check out the activities of the National Council of Churches from Discover the Networks:
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6916

Here is even more on the church connection to ACORN and other groups, which has gone on for years:
http://www.capitalresearch.org/pubs/pdf/v1251490843.pdf

As if this latest attempt isn't enough, they apparently also have an agenda to do with net neutrality. Check out their promotion here:
http://www.ucc.org/bring-betty-broadband/

In their little animation, they claim that you have a right to broadband....a right. Although I can see some advantages to net neutrality, I am extremely suspicious of the motives behind it. It is being pushed as hard as their other causes, and there is obviously much more to it.

Are you a member of one of these participating churches? If so, you might want to ask your pastor exactly why you are involved in endorsing a far left political agenda.

The Agenda According to Mark Rudd

Mark Rudd of radical Weather Underground infamy, spells it out on his own front page:

"Obama plays basketball. I'm not much of an athlete, barely know the game, but one thing I do know is that you have to be able to look like you're doing one thing but do another. That's why all these conservative appointments are important: the strategy is feint to the right, move left. Any other strategy invites sure defeat. It would be stupid to do otherwise in this environment.
Look to the second level appointments. There's a whole govt. in waiting that Podesta has at the Center for American Progress. They're mostly progressives, I'm told (except in military and foreign policy). Cheney was extremely effective at controlling policy by putting his people in at second-level positions."

Patriot Peace Prize

This morning's announcement of Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize is laughable. He has obviously done nothing to deserve it, other than being a progressive. You may note the progressive pattern, with Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson being the only other US presidents to have received it.


I think those who doubt the action of a NWO should have no doubt after this, as this is his public crowning as their leader.


I propose we award a Patriot Peace Prize. Wouldn't it be refreshing to have such an award, based on actual merits? Who do you nominate? Name your picks and I'll start a voting page for our nominees.

Someone Tell Gore Vidal

Can someone please tell Gore Vidal that those who boast of their own wisdom are fools?
http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/the_way_we_live/article6854221.ece

He has decided we will become a military dictatorship, as a partial result, of course, of the ignorance of religion. He seems to disdain just about everyone but himself...and maybe Bill Maher.

Here is something about him that I didn't know. This may explain it all: Gore Vidal is a fifth cousin of Jimmy Carter, and a distant cousin of Al Gore. He was also a member of the "World Can't Wait" group, an anti-Bush group organized by the Revolutionary Communist Party.

What a genius...

Ah, compassion....Valerie Jarrett style.

The conservatives are always being accused of not caring about people. Just this week, our local paper had a column about "What Would Jesus Do" and made it clear that real Christians would be backing Obama's healthcare. It's nauseating to see them use the word of God to push their agenda and lie about the intentions of anyone who would oppose their plan.

The libs are supposed to be the compassionate ones. Is Valerie Jarrett their poster child for compassion?

"Grove Parc Plaza was given $4 Mil to upgrade the 500 apartment structure. At that time it was given a failing grade of 82 and 3 yrs later after the $4 Mil was declared unlivable w/a grade of 13. It was declared unlivable due to fire damage, mice running in the halls and roofs collapsing. Wonder who got the $4 Mil, the poor Blacks living in those mice infested heatless projects or the corrupt politicians. Her company was able to give Obama a $10,000 contribution even though they couldn’t turn on the heat for the building during -20 degree temps. She was forced to turn on the heat after being sued by the courts. This is the same person who will be rationing your medical care."

May the TRUE liberals wake up! These people are not the friend of the poor, the oppressed, the children, the minorities. Those are the pawns in their chess game. Better get out there with the Tea Party people before it's too late.

Color Me Steadfast

Color....it's all over the news and it is relentless. Never in our history have we been unable to voice any disagreement with the administration without being called a racist. You can't even look Obama directly in the eye without Maureen Dowd claiming it was a "threatening" look and a code look for racism. You couldn't suggest something he might like for lunch or someone would say it was an ethnic food and you were insinuating...something? And whatever you were insinuating, it is most definitely racism.

I will remain steadfast and I refuse to be intimidated by this obvious technique they are using. I will continue to protest legislation that I feel is wrong, even if my own friends and collegues in my community falsely label me for it. I will continue to write letters to the editor, even if the liberals in my community label me a racist for expressing disagreement. I will even call someone's methods socialism or communism if I feel that is what they are.

Race has been used by the left for years. It is a career for the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and many more. It is a way to divide and conquer. It is a way to keep people dependent on a socialist system. It is a terribly destructive device that they have used in an evil way. Now is the time to stand up, remain steadfast and refuse to allow it to continue.

Connect the Dots to a Questionable Education

I'm sure many people have noticed how the vast number of people out there suddenly seem to be connecting around a few common themes, such as education, euthanasia & abortion (Planned Parenthood). Seems a strange coincidence, doesn't it?

Yesterday, people had reason to be concerned about Obama's visit into the schoolyards of America. Not only did he push his healthcare agenda on his live audience beforehand, but it's being followed up with an exciting new "Change the System" initiative on all of your kids' favorite channels....Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1 and more. Bill Ayers must be so proud!

Now, let's see who just a few of the players are in this new venture:

Bill Gates- Would that be the Bill Gates whose father was on the board of Planned Parenthood for years? And who has donated much to that organization? The one who hosted the billionaire's club meeting to discuss how they would control population growth, along with attendees George Soros and David Rockefeller?
They gathered at the home of Sir Paul Nurse, a British Nobel prize biochemist and president of the private Rockefeller University, in Manhattan on May 5. The informal afternoon session was so discreet that some of the billionaires’ aides were told they were at “security briefings”.

Viacom- Oh, yeah, the same people that brought us all the quality programming for kids. They love kids! (They just don't want you to have too many....)
MTV had partnered with Planned Parenthood in promoting a toll-free number for underage children to receive an unmarked package in the mail containing condoms.
 They can help you with that, too, due to their frequent program partnerships and donations to Planned Parenthood.

They love Castro, too:
One hallmark of Viacom management has been the promotion of political ideology so leftward that one critic described the company's executives as "Viacommies." In February 2001 two Viacom executives -- the President and Chief Executive Officer of CBS Les Moonves and CEO of MTV Tom Freston -- were in Havana for a private dinner and meeting with Communist dictator Fidel Castro.

-discoverthenetworks.com

Your favorite czars Cass Sunstein and John Holdren seem to have similar ideas. Coincidence?

On the surface, this is supposed to be a program to promote getting a good education, but it is obviously far more than that. And they wonder why anyone would have a problem with Obama addressing their children...

Change Agents and Education

I am working on a post regarding the "change agents" actively at work in this administration to transform the USA. In the meantime, here is some of the agenda in a nutshell:

“To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family tradition, national patriotism, and religious dogmas....We have swallowed all manner of poisonous certainties fed us by our parents, our Sunday and day school teachers, our politicians, our priests....The reinterpretation and eventual eradication of the concept of right and wrong which has been the basis of child training, the substitution of intelligent and rational thinking for faith in the certainties of old people, these are the belated objectives...for charting the changes in human behavior.”


- Brock Chislholm, 1959 Humanist of the Year and former head of World Health Organization, from Feb. 1946 issue of Psychiatry

Just Another Labor Day at the SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center)

I had a few people asking about this "brouhaha" with Obama's speech and lesson plan for the school kids next week. I decided to see if I could find the suggestions for the older kids, so I typed "obama activities grades 9-12" into Google. It took me to a link to a delightful lesson plan on Labor Day presented by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Here is a little excerpt:
"Often we take aspects of the work world for granted. For example, that a CEO will be better paid than a construction worker. Or that being a teacher is more important than is being a waiter. These assumptions allow us to perpetuate a system that allows gross inequities in pay between professions, and designates some jobs as less important than others, no matter how much society depends on them."
Gee, it kind of sounds like they might be promoting the same pay across the board, no matter what your job is, doesn't it? That doesn't sound quite right...

Here's a little more:
Immigrants take jobs away from native-born Americans.
Immigrants concentrated in low-skilled jobs drive down wages.
Immigrants don't pay taxes.
If there weren't so many immigrants taking jobs, unemployment would be lower.
Immigrants send most of what they earn to their home countries and as a result, they don't stimulate the economy.


Note: All five statements are common beliefs, yet each can be disproved. This section of the activity is based on the book, “‘They Take Our Jobs!’ and 20 Other Myths About Immigration,” by Aviva Chomsky.

Who is this Aviva Chomsky that they reference? Well, it appears she is the daughter of Noam Chomsky, libertarian socialist and anarchist. She apparently considers illegal immigration laws to be "legalized discrimination" (see her article here). She seems to advocate removing ANY restrictions on immigration (see her article here).

I think a lot of people on the left find it ridiculous that anyone opposes Obama coming into the classroom. What they don't seem to "get" is that many people feel that an Obama curriculum, if taken further, would eventually end up looking a lot like the lesson plan above....and that is definitely a problem. Why don't we wait until that happens? I think we have found out that the time for waiting is over.

Must See TV...Fall Propaganda Lineup?

I did a little digging this week, after hearing about the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) issue, where they were urging artists to promote the Obama agenda. I came across this little gem:
http://www.nptimes.com/09jun/bnews-090616-1.html

You may recall that the NEA referred to the "Corporation", and I decided to see just who that was. It turned out to ne the Corporation For National and Community Service (CNCS), which you have probably heard of before. This is the same "Corporation" that saw to it that Inspector General Gerald Walpin was fired, and now it appears they have big plans for our fall TV lineup!

From the article:

"National service will be at the center of television programming this fall on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, The NonProfit Times has learned. The White House, The Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), AARP and the Corporation For National and Community Service are expected to be part of the announcement of the initiative in coming days.


Also involved is the Points of Light Institute and other organizations that were part of the ServiceNation Summit held this past September. Calls to the participating organizations either went unreturned or spokespeople have declined to comment on the record.


The announcement is expected to involve First Lady Michelle Obama and leaders of all of the organizations involved, multiple sources told The NonProfit Times. The effort is similar to the EIF’s push this past September for Stand Up To Cancer, an event to raise money for cancer research that involved network programming.

In this case, instead of one show simulcast on the broadcast outlets, national service will be written into shows on all of the outlets. There will also be public service spots and online outreach.

“It’s about how to amplify the president’s call to service, to get more Americans involved in service,” one source told The NonProfit Times.

OK, maybe it's just me... but this sure sounds like Propaganda TV, especially knowing the CNCS is involved. Someone needs to look into this and find out just what else they have planned for us, besides all major media and national artists?
