Calif. ALERT" Coming to a Classroom Near You! LGBT (SB48)


Throughout history, when ever groups are designated for special treatment ...they've usually ended up getting it!  -- rfh
From: Traditional Values Coalition Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 Subject: Robert - Must Read!! Coming to a Classroom Near You!!

Ready for your kids or grandkids to learn about "gay history?"
Homosexual legislators and their sympathetic allies are ready with their most extensive grab for special rights ever and the environment of California's school children and the education they receive are their latest targets in the battle for their hearts and minds.

This vicious attack on California's classrooms and on our children has come in the form of Senate Bill 48, a blatant homosexual education and teaching bill aimed at forcing students to accept the homosexual, bisexual and transgender lifestyle as normal. And it would turn every school teacher into a promoter of the homosexual lifestyle in the classroom! This new bill would actually force them to portray homosexuality in a positive manner.

2The terms "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender" will be added to the list of categories in the state's content standards
...and will be covered in ALL textbooks and instructional materials!!
The homosexuals behind the bill admit it. Their arrogance shows a clear disdain for the family and traditional moral values. Just read these statements they have made:

"Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender (LGBT) people should not be pushed into the closet when it comes to what students learn about history," said the leader of the group sponsoring SB 48.3

Senator Mark Leno said: "Most textbooks don't include any historical information about the LGBT movement…we aren't teaching students about historical LGBT figures or the LGBT equal rights movement."

The brainchild behind SB 48 is none other than homosexual Senator Mark Leno of San Francisco; the same man who has devoted his entire service in the legislature thus far trying to make homosexual marriage legal.

SB 48 would radically change the nature of our California education. Some of the dangerous and offensive provisions of the bill include:
  • Forcing teachers and educators to give classroom instruction that does not "reflect adversely" on homosexuality, bisexuality or transgender. This means teachers would be forced to positively promote the homosexual lifestyle!
    
  • The State Board of Education or any school board would be prohibited from adopting textbooks that "reflect adversely" on homosexuality, bisexuality and transgender. Again, this means textbooks that are now to be used must portray these sexual lifestyles in a positive manner. They must also include teachings about homosexual leaders and portray the "gay rights" movement just like the civil rights struggle of the 1950's and 1960's.
  • Forces ALL school boards to use only instructional materials that include homosexuality, bisexuality and transgender. The bill says they must "accurately portray" them. You can bet that homosexual groups will have the final say as to what is "accurate" and what is not!!
5And now that they have Jerry Brown in the Governor's office, the homosexual lobby is fabulously confident Brown will sign anything they send him. They no longer have to wonder if Arnold Schwarzenegger will 4sign or veto their bills. There are even more reasons to be alarmed about this bill. SB 48 will affect the content standards for instructional materials that the State Board of Education has adopted. We can almost assuredly expect them to remove the current terms "male" and "female" and replace them with the vague term "gender." Here are a few examples of likely changes… Concerning Male & Female Roles Current standards require equal portrayal. Instructional materials "must refer to or illustrate both sexes approximately evenly, in both number and degree of importance." SB 48 would mean that for every heterosexual male or female covered in materials there must be an equal number of homosexual, bisexual or transgender people covered!! When discussing occupations, the current standards require that "men and women should be presented equally." One of the occupations listed as an example is "parenting." SB 48 would mean that for every piece of material depicting male and female parents there must also be depictions of homosexual couples as parents!! This is especially true since another provision in the content standards state: "Both sexes should be portrayed in nurturing roles with their families." You can count on homosexual men and women being promoted as alternative, loving families!! Concerning Ethnic & Cultural Groups Current content standards state: "Instructional materials containing references to, or illustrations of, people must portray accurately…the roles and contributions of a fair proportion of diverse ethnic groups, especially those groups referenced in [statute section 60040[b]]." What groups will be added to Section 60040 under SB 48?                    Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender!! What this means is whenever students are taught about the influence of Asian Americans on California's railroad system, or of Mexican American's contributions through the California missions, etc…they will also be taught of a new "cultural group." That group will be the homosexual community! Students will be taught about promiscuous homosexual politician Harvey Milk or that sports figures like Billie Jean King or Martina Navratilova are lesbians.  The accomplishments of such sports figures made in their sport won't be of importanceit will be their sexuality that students will hear about!!!

From: "RealCatholicTV.com" Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 Subject: We All Need Clarity

Part of evangelization .. a significant part .. is being clear.  It means nothing to wax eloquent on a given point if no one really "gets" what you mean.  It is also a very bad practice for Church leaders to deliberately muddy the waters with nuanced language and phrases. What's needed is a little clarity.

Please watch this episode of The Vortex and pass it along to as many friends and family as you can.

o'illegal - Legislation addressing 14 Amendment (ConservativeActionAlerts.com)

Immigration and Birthright Citizenship Bills Proposed in South Dakota
http://conservativeactionalerts.com/blog_post/show/1936
Written by CAA National on January 31, 2011
     A record number of immigration bills being introduced in state legislatures across the country -- over 600 just in January 2011.  Count South Dakota in too.
     Three bills have been introduced in the state's Legislature to address undocumented immigrants. 
     All are patterned after measures already proposed or passed in other states.
     One is similar to an Arizona law being challenged in court.  It would direct law officers enforcing other laws to make reasonable attempts to ask about a suspect's immigration status if there is reason to believe that person is in the U.S. without documents.   
It also would make it illegal to transport or conceal an undocumented immigrant.
     Another bill would penalize anyone who knowingly employs, transports or conceals an undocumented immigrant.
     The third measure would challenge the automatic U.S. citizenship granted to children of undocumented immigrants.  It is intended to encourage Congress to propose a change in the 14th Amendment.

oil prices - "1,354 Years in the Making" $8/gal gas? (infomercial: AgoraFinancial.com)


$220 per barrel of oil equals $8+ per gallon of gasoline! (in the U.S.)

     The video below was produced before the current (Jan/Feb 2011) mid-East turmoil ...in Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia, Lebanon, etc.  
     I only post the video for its description of a possible "worse case?" energy crisis scenario not for the purpose of promoting Mr. King's financial advice service of which I am not familiar.  
     It concerns me that the current leader of the 'Executive Branch' of our government has been closing down or restricting new domestic oil and coal development and selling our uranium ore to foreign entities, e.g. Russia all the while giving "lip service" and bowing to leaders among the "keywords" listed below which appear to be who are really driving our current government's energy policy.
     Other questionable actions:  closing or redesignating public lands in order to limit or ban mining or drilling, forcing oil wells to be capped in the Gulf, limiting new offshore exploration & drilling by U.S. companies,  limiting new mainland & Alaska drilling, while, at the same time, keeping mum on our 'strategic oil reserves' status ...yet o'who? is funding foreign governments' oil exploration & production even in U.S. waters!!!   These energy actions beg for explanations.  -- rfh

osama laughter - Moscow Airport Suicide Bomber

Would TSA Have Stopped Moscow Bombing?
Want to receive stories like this every day? Subscribe to our free Deal Alert newsletter!
Following Monday's bombing of Moscow's Domodedovo airport, the inevitable question quickly became: Could it happen here? A suicide bomber simply walked into the arrivals hall, a public area, and blew himself up, killing 35 people and injuring 168. There was nothing complicated about the plan, no circumvention of metal detectors or other security technology, and really no time for anyone to recognize that a suspicious and potentially dangerous person was in the area.
More troubling, the general consensus among TSA watchers seems to be that, no, the TSA probably wouldn't have stopped the attack either, despite implementing a $212 million program designed to identify suspicious persons based on their behavior. Called SPOT, which stands for Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques, the program has screeners look for tiny behavioral clues in the faces of passersby. Screeners receive four days of training for the program, which focuses on "micro-expressions" to identify potential threats. But according to ABC News, critics say the program is ineffective."I see the classified results and it gives me great concern," says Rep. John Mica, Chairman of the House Transportation Committee. "I saw what happened [in Moscow] and I have even more concern." Mica tells ABC News that the program is "not capable of detecting what took place in Moscow."
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has expressed similar concern over the program's effectiveness. According to ABC, a May 2010 report from the GAO "found ... that at least 17 known terrorists traveled through at least 23 U.S. airports in the SPOT program without being detected."
The creator of SPOT is Dr. Paul Ekman, a retired psychology professor at the University of California. He tells ABC, "Micro-expressions, the wonderful thing about them, is they're universal. There are seven different emotions and it doesn't matter your language or your culture, if you have one of those emotions it is going to appear in your face and if you're trying to conceal it, it may well leak out in a micro-expression." The TSA says SPOT is based in science and has been used in other arenas for decades. The agnecy also says SPOT has resulted in 1,700 arrests, though none for terrorism charges.
Others say there is no hard evidence that validates SPOT's effectiveness. "The scientific research shows that it's very hard to detect whether somebody's up to no good just by looking at their behavior,"  Dr. Maria Hartwig, an expert in the psychology of deception and its detection at John Jay College in New York, tells ABC. "There is no scientific support for this system as of now."
But in the case of the Moscow bombing, SPOT, or any behavioral detection system, may not have had the time to recognize the bomber. If anything, the Moscow attack shows that we have long taken for granted the fact that large, crowded areas in our airports are almost completely unsecured and vulnerable to attack. And aside from the security we have—police patrols, bomb-sniffing dogs, and the TSA's SPOT screeners—there is little we can do. This, of course, highlights the need for an effective behavioral detection program, and amplifies concerns that SPOT is not up to snuff.
"Right now," says Rep. Mica, "I don't believe SPOT gives us the protection that we should have."

o'tax'n spend - Nice to have a 747

From: jpl Sent: Saturday, January 22, 2011 Subject: Nice to have a 747

Remember 2012 is another election year for presidential candidates!!!
Begin forwarded message:

Well, I guess we won't have to pick up the tab for Barry, et al to get to Merry old England for the Prince's wedding.   He'll probably fly back to Hawaii for a round of golf instead.
Nice to have a 747
     Andrew Malcolm says Obama will spend Monday night flying across the Pacific and United States after his latest vacation, 11 days in Hawaii.  It will be his first trip of 2011 aboard Air Force One.
Last year Obama flew in Air Force One 172 times, almost every other day.
     White House officials have been telling reporters in recent days that the Democrat doesn't intend to hang around the White House quite so much in 2011.  They explain he wants to get out more around the country because, as everyone knows, that midterm election shellacking on Nov. 2 had nothing to do with his healthcare bill, over-spending or other policies, and everything to do with Obama's not adequately explaining himself to his countrymen and women.
     And with only 673 days remaining in Obama's neverending presidential campaign, the incumbent's travel pace will not likely slacken.
     At an Air Force-estimated cost of $181,757 per flight hour (not to mention the additional travel costs of Marine One, Secret Service, logistics and local police overtime), that's a lot of frequent flier dollars going into Obama's carbon footprint.
     We are privy to some of these numbers thanks to CBS' Mark Knoller, a bearded national treasure trove of presidential stats.  According to Knoller's copious notes, during the last year, Obama made 65 domestic trips over 104 days, and six trips to eight countries over 22 days.  Not counting six vacation trips over 32 days.
     He took 196 helicopter trips, signed 203 pieces of legislation and squeezed in 29 rounds of left-handed golf.
     Obama last year gave 491 speeches, remarks or statements.  That's more talking than goes on in some entire families, at least from fatherly mouths.
     In fact, even including the 24 days of 2010 that we never saw Obama in public, his speaking works out to about one official utterance every 11 waking hours.  Aides indicate the "Real Good Talker" believes we need more.
     As Obama so often says, "Please be seated."

war - A History Reminder: General VoNguyen Giap


From: thy Sent: Monday, January 24, 2011 Subject: A REMINDER IN HISTORY
A REMINDER IN HISTORY
General Giap was a brilliant, highly respected leader of the North Vietnam military. The following quote is from his memoirs currently found in the Vietnam war memorial in Hanoi:
     'What we still don't understand is why you Americans stopped the bombing of Hanoi . You had us on the ropes.  If you had pressed us a little harder, just for another day or two, we were ready to surrender! It was the same at the battle of TET. You defeated us!  We knew it, and we thought you knew it.  But we were elated to notice your media was helping us.  They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields.  We were ready to surrender.  You had won!'
     General Giap has published his memoirs and confirmed what most Americans knew. The Vietnam war was not lost in Vietnam -- it was lost at home.  The same slippery slope, sponsored by the US media,  is currently underway.  It exposes the  enormous power of a Biased Media to cut out the heart and will of the American public.
A truism worthy of note: ... Do not fear the enemy,  for they can take only your life.
Fear the media, for they will destroy your honor.

"Relativity teaches us the connection between the different descriptions of one and the same reality." -- Albert Einstein
"For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." -- Psalm 90:4
Einstein's Theory of Relativity asserts that time can be perceived as moving differently when viewed from different frames of reference. Physical experiments have supported the equations behind the theory. The Genesis Code asks: could relativity reconcile the difference perspectives God and Man on the timeline of Creation?

     Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie suggested in an interview published today that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Barack Obama may not exist within the vital records maintained by the Hawaii Department of Health.
     Abercrombie told the Honolulu Star Advertiser he was searching within the Hawaii Department of Health to find definitive vital records that would prove Obama was born in Hawaii, because the continuing eligibility controversy could hurt the president's chances of re-election in 2012.
     Donalyn Dela Cruz, Abercrombie's spokeswoman in Honolulu, ignored again today another in a series of repeated requests made by WND for an interview with the governor.
     Toward the end of the interview, the newspaper asked Abercrombie: "You stirred up quite a controversy with your comments regarding birthers and your plan to release more information regarding President Barack Obama?s birth certificate. How is that coming?"
     In his response, Abercrombie acknowledged the birth certificate issue will have "political implications" for the next presidential election "that we simply cannot have."

Judge Rules That Yodeling 'Offends Muslims'...
Austria: Judge Rules That Yodeling Offends Muslims
by Elad Benari

It seems as though in Austria, the popular yodel is an insult to Muslims.
     An Austrian court has recently fined a citizen for yodeling while mowing his lawn, according to a report in The Kronen Zeitung newspaper.
     The citizen, 63-year-old Helmut G., was told by the court that his yodeling offended his next-door Muslim neighbors, who accused him of trying to mock and imitate the call of the Muezzin.
     In Muslim tradition, the Muezzin is the chosen person at a mosque who leads the call to prayer at Friday services and the five daily times for prayer from one of the mosque's minarets.
     The yodel is a song which is sung with an extended note which rapidly and repeatedly changes in pitch and makes a high-low-high-low sound.  Developed in the Central Alps as a method of communication between alpine mountaineers or between alpine villages, the yodel later became part of the region's traditional lore and musical expression.  The technique is used in many cultures throughout the world and Austria is one of the countries where it is most popular.
     Unfortunately for Helmut G., his neighbors were in the middle of a prayer when he started to yodel.  The Kronen Zeitung reported that he was fined 800 Euros after judges ruled that he could have tried to offend his neighbors and ridicule their belief.
     Helmut G. clarified that "It was not my intention to imitate or insult them.  I simply started to yodel a few tunes because I was in such a good mood."
