America's Boy Scouts and the Liberals Who Hate Them

America's Boy Scouts and the Liberals Who Hate Them

On the surface, the Boy Scouts of America oath, “On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law, to help other people at all times, and to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight,” seems an admirable, innocuous, inoffensive promise.




The Scouts are simply pledging to abide by God’s Commandments, the laws of the United States of America and of their organization, to be of assistance when needed, to stay fit, be on their toes, and be decent human beings, all of which vows are commendable to normal people.



Nevertheless, the Boy Scouts oath and everything the 102 year old, 2.7 million member BSA represents are abhorrent to leftists and homosexuals. As for leftist homosexuals, which is pretty much a redundancy, the BSA is considered the equivalent of the KKK, the American Nazi Party, or worse and all because they stand for honor, morality, and common decency.



And, liberals don’t only detest the Boy Scout principles, they are as committed to destroying the BSA as they are to bankrupting Chick-fil-A for its grave offense of publicly announcing a belief in traditional marriage. Americans proclaimed their agreement by flooding Chick-fil-A with business.



The sad reality that the liberal wing of the Democrat Party, another redundancy, opposes both freedom of speech and fundamental Christian beliefs was evidenced twice on CNN, “the most trusted name in news,” first when a gay-skewed panel on Soledad O’Brien’s July 18th “Starting Point” encouraged homosexuals to attack the Boy Scouts, an invitation which was followed by Don Lemon’s guest, ousted Cub Scout leader Jennifer Tyrrell, presenting her case for a lesbian to guide young boys through the treacherous shoals of childhood.



After a two year review, the Boy Scouts of America reaffirmed its ban on gay members, a position supported by the United States Supreme Court more than a decade ago and endorsed by most parents of Scouts.



That BSA decision was immediately attacked by homosexuals as being out of touch with the times and “on the wrong side of history” or, as one gay activist said, “Just because the Supreme Court has said the Boy Scouts are allowed to have this policy does not mean that it is just or that it is consistent with basic human compassion.”



I guess that view would depend . . .

Post-Racialism, the Rise in Black Crime, and Election 2012

Post-Racialism, the Rise in Black Crime, and Election 2012

There is a sinister racial campaign in progress in our country today. As per usual, just discussing that effort will be deemed racist by black agitators who have successfully created an atmosphere of fear of being accused of racism in white America.



C’est la vie. Always consider the source.


Though they’re closely related, I’m not directly referring to Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign for re-election to the presidency nor to Democrat campaigns for various local and national offices but to their combined efforts to cover up the extent of black crime in the United States and to conceal their concerted attempts to persuade the majority of Americans that a minority is better equiped to deal with America’s problems.



Barack Hussein Obama won the highest office in the land by appealing to white voters largely on the basis that he would effect change in America’s often-strained race relations with the hope that, combined with a lock on the African-American, homosexual, Hispanic, and labor union constituencies, he could gain sufficient support from whites to defeat the lackluster John McCain.



Integral to his appeal were Obama’s calculated suggestions that his election would herald a post-racial nation, a theme he often repeated and which was frequently touted by his mainstream media. For example, the day after he and Joe Biden received 52.87% of the total popular vote, the LA Times featured an article by Daniel Schorr titled, “A New ‘Post-Racial’ Political Era in America.”



Obama had obviously succeeded in convincing some naive whites that racial strife would soon be an ugly memory. He garnered 43% of white ballots–the same percentage Bill Clinton won in the 3-man 1996 race–and the nation had its first (semi) black president.



Recently, Obama lied and hypocritically stated in a Rolling Stone interview, “I never bought into the notion that by electing me, somehow we were entering into a postracial period,” a retrospective that contradicted his previous observations.



Although there are powerful arguments to the contrary, the theory that white guilt played a major role in Obama’s 43% is widely dismissed.



Indeed, whites feeling guilt over slavery is as irrational as their experiencing guilt because of black poverty. Unless their forbears were slaveholders a century and a half ago or they had personally caused blacks to be poor today, no American should have voted for Obama in 2008 for any reason other than that they believed him better qualified to lead the country than McCain.



However, that presumption was skewed by the unprecedented 93% of African-Americans who voted for Obama four years ago, a percentage proving either that those African-Americans thought Obama was their savior or that he had bamboozled them into voting for him strictly due to his race.



A sense that American blacks would be somewhat placated by Obama’s election and that black violence, murder, and general mayhem would be curtailed as a result was implicit in his “post-racial” propaganda but the precise opposite is the case and that could be Obama’s undoing in 98 days.



His first election actually coincided with a massive increase in black violence, etc. The question is, Will 43% of whites still be supportive and will white guilt still be a factor in 2012 in view of that increased violence?



Furthermore, if Obama and his administration are perceived as encouraging racial divisiveness and engaging in tactics and instituting policies which are clearly designed to favor blacks and to discriminate against whites, will the president get any white votes in November?



Of course, he will. Remember those gays, Hispanics, and labor unionists who think and vote solely on self-serving interests. But, 43%? Highly unlikely.



Except in the reporting by Obama’s MSM, which are far more interested in Obama’s re-election than in honest journalism, black crime in America has increased exponentially since 2009. Mobs of blacks have been recorded but mostly-unreported rampaging in Chicago, Baltimore, Ames, Iowa, Peoria, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Seattle, and Portland, and numerous other cities. (http://tinyurl.com/d8benxc)



Despite that rampant mayhem, the MSM has failed to take notice or, when they do, they fail to identify the racial makeup of the rioters. Providing a detailed description of the rampagers, including the color of their skin, would greatly assist in their apprehension but the mainstreamers have little concern for catching them. On the other hand, they do tend to find a great deal of time and space to devote to relatively rare, alleged white violence against blacks as in the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case.



Compounding journalistic malpractice and as previously noted here, editors have admitted they censor the news to preserve racial peace.



All the mainstream media are doing, however, is maliciously cloaking the truth about black crime and preserving the myth that Obama’s election led to a post-racial America. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=27327.)

The Olympics--A Dream Come and Gone

The Olympics--A Dream Come and Gone

The games have begun! Now, let’s call them a wrap!




The Olympics have devolved into a cesspool of international propaganda, intrigue, and cheating–not to mention a subsidized bacchanalian venue for young athletes who could just as well fornicate on their own dime rather than using the 150,000 condoms (15 per athlete) distributed by the United States Olympic Committee.



Sandra Fluke would be appreciative of the USOC condom largesse but are contributors to the USOC aware their dollars are helping pay America’s Olympians to safely do what they would do even without free prophylactics?



The inspiration for the modern Olympics, the ancient Greek religious/athletics festival dating to 776 B.C., was beset with corruption and so, too, is the modern Olympiad. The chief difference is that today we spend billions staging the events whereas the wiser Greeks back then spent little and benefitted from a suspension of city-state wars, conflicts they resumed soon after the games.



Our conflicts continue during the games.



As for contraception, the naked Greek athletes were on their own but, since they were all male, the chance of procreating with their fellow athletes was less than minimal.



Aside from publicity for the host nation, there are few perks derived from hosting the modern Olympics and the potential financial liabilities far outweigh any benefits, a reality which could reach astronomical proportions should Israeli suggestions of terrorist attacks at the 2012 London Summer Olympics come to fruition and Mitt Romney’s negative critique of security preparedness turns out to be accurate.



The admirable goals of the modern Olympiad, of buff, young athletes promoting brotherhood and equanimity, of demonstrating to the world that nations could compete peacefully without destroying one another, were exploded in 1972 when Muslim terrorists murdered 11 Israeli athletes and coaches at the Munich massacre.



Those unprovoked attacks were neither unprecedented nor the last instances of un-brotherly Olympic behavior. . .

Chick-fil-A Versus the Loonie Left

Chick-fil-A Versus the Loonie Left

What is it about free speech that the Left doesn’t get?



Do they have a problem about our First Amendment rights to freedom of speech because they take issue with those fundamental freedoms or do they only have selective objections to what people say and believe?



They certainly have no problem with fellow Leftists such as those in the Occupy movement spouting anti-Semitic, anti-capitalism, anti-Americanism, anti-civilized society sentiments but when it comes to expressions of Christian conservative beliefs in normality they always seem to get their panties in a wad.



The latest target of Leftist venom is Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy, son of the fast-chicken-food company’s founder, S. Truett Cathy.



The Leftist homosexual lobby is incensed with Cathy due to his “support of the traditional family” and his disagreement with President Barack Hussein Obama’s recent “evolution” on same-sex marriage.



Cathy merely gave his opinion that, ”We are very much supportive of the family–the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. . . we know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.”



Good grief! In a single sentence, Cathy invoked God, the Lord, and the Bible, all terms anathema to the Left!



Well, Mr. Cathy, you can share your values and operate on all the biblical principles you want but when those Leftist panties get wadded, watch out! The purveyors of negativism lose what remains of their minds!



For example, former Obama Chief of Staff and current Chicago mayor Rahm “Dead Fish” Emanuel presides over a city where murder is a favorite outdoor and indoor sport and unemployment is rampant. Yet he felt compelled to inveigh against Chick-fil-A’s plans to build two more stores in Chicago because of Dan Cathy’s pro-family remarks.



As the Windy City’s first Jewish mayor ranted, “Chick-fil-A’s values are not Chicago values. They’re not respectful of our residents, our neighbors and our family members . . . What the CEO has said as it relates to gay marriage and gay couples is not what I believe, but more importantly, it’s not what the people of Chicago believe. . . who we are as a city.” (http://tinyurl.com/d5te5dz)



Chicago is pretty far gone but to my knowledge Chicagoans haven’t passed a referendum confirming what they believe or whether they prefer political correctness over a delicious spicy chicken sandwich deluxe.



Much like another Jewish mayor, New York City’s Mike Bloomberg, who dictates how many ounces of soda and how much sodium and how mny trans-fats New Yorkers can consume, Emanuel wants to mandate how much Chick-fil-A chicken is consumed, if any.



Apparently, Emanuel thinks murder, unemployment, and black racist Louis Farrakhan are more in line with what Chicagoans want since he has done nothing to stem the 40% surge in homicides or create jobs and has welcomed Farrakhan to his fair city to help keep the peace.



Boston’s Democrat Mayor Thomas Mannino also attacked Cathy in a letter last week (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=27284.)

More Emails from My Obama Buddies

More Emails from My Obama Buddies

President Barack Hussein Obama’s critics say he has reduced the country to a virtual economic basket case and that he and his re-election team are in process of reducing the presidency of the United States to the level of a carnival side-show with phony come-ons replete with hawking t-shirts and mugs and games of chance.




Well, they may be doing all that but it’s in a good cause–saving the nation from an evil Republican!



I know this because I’m the very proud recipient of personalized emails from various members of the Obama-Biden campaign committee and even some from Barack and Michelle and the vice president! At first, they arrived once or so a week but lately they’ve been filling up my in-box at an amazing rate, clear evidence that my buddies are working really hard.



A cynic might think the email flurry is only designed to raise $$$ for the cash-starved Obama-Biden campaign but I know better. Mostly, they’re intended to demonstrate a friendly effort to keep in touch with their supporters.



What follows are slightly-edited emails I’ve received in the last week, edited because some were very wordy despite how busy, busy, busy Obama and his team are down in D.C. and across the fruited plain. ,



The latest came from the president just today and the poor guy is sounding desperate. He mustn’t have much time to write because he was pretty brief. He asks for $3, of course, to enter his birthday sweepstakes and says, “My upcoming birthday next week could be the last one I celebrate as President of the United States, but that’s not up to me–it’s up to you.”



Yesterday, Juliana Smoot, Deputy Obama-Biden Campaign Manager, said a lot more.



She wrote, ”I’m no good at singing ‘Happy Birthday.’ I hope you’re better, because the President’s inviting two grassroots donors and their guests to celebrate his birthday with him at his home in Chicago on August 12th. Just pitch in $3 or whatever you can to support this campaign, and you’ll be automatically entered for the chance to be there. . . We’ve got a nice spot picked out for the event at the President’s family home in their beautiful South Side neighborhood.”



I thought that was sweet of Juliana but wondered whether the guy who finagled that family home for the Obamas, Tony Rezko, would be there until I remembered Rezko is in prison.



In any event, as always, . . .

In Defense of Joe Paterno

In Defense of Joe Paterno

No one would or should dispute the reputability of former FBI Director Louis Freeh, which is not to say all of Freeh’s conclusions in his investigation of the Penn State pedophile scandal are indisputable.




This defense of Joe Paterno in no way intends to mitigate the physical, emotional, and spiritual suffering sustained by the young boys who were molested, raped, violated at the hands of serial homosexual pedophile Jerry Sandusky but is rather intended to provide some perspective on another Sandusky victim.



It must first be said that Joe Paterno was wrong.



It must also be said that Joe Paterno represented all that was good in collegiate athletics today not only because of his 409 victories while he was coaching the Nittany Lions, his 18 bowl victories, his record 37 bowl appearances, his two national championships, his five undefeated, untied seasons, his induction into the College Football Hall of Fame, or the other awards he received.



His greatest contribution to college athletics was his insistence that his players lead decent lives and actually attend and pass their courses, requisites sorely missing in too many university sport programs.



However, all that went for nought after the Sandusky scandal.



Paterno was wrong in foolishly following established PSU protocol of reporting to his superiors Sandusky’s child abuse but not notifying police. He was wrong in naively trusting that Penn State officials would do the right thing and alert local police of the child rape witnessed by Assistant Coach Mike McQueary. If true, he was very wrong in persuading those PSU officials in 2001 not to notify authorities about Sandusky’s aberrant behavior but Mr. Freeh seemed to draw that damning conclusion based more on supposition than factual evidence.



It was not Joe Pa’s legal responsibility to take further action although it was his moral and ethical duty to insure the officials performed theirs.



That said, his negligence cost Paterno dearly.



At the age of 85, JoePa died of cancer on January 22nd, 2012 just two months after being fired as head coach at the school he deeply loved and which loved him for his character and for 62 years service. People who knew Paterno best believe he died of a broken heart. His family contends Mr. Freeh’s report grossly misrepresented his responsibility in the Sandusky horror.



Fortunately, Paterno didn’t live to see his reputation, his legacy, his life completely trashed by Mr. Freeh’s report nor did he witness the senseless removal of his statue from the front of Beaver Stadium where it had stood for eleven years, a removal completed even before the NCAA announced the draconian punishments to be imposed on Penn State and its football program.



The seven foot high monument erected in 2001 to honor Paterno’s record 324th Division I coaching victory and his “contributions to the university” . . .

Rancid Muslim Odors Permeate the Case of Major Malik Nidal Hasan

Rancid Muslim Odors Permeate the Case of Major Malik Nidal Hasan

Many things stink in President Barack Hussein Obama’s administration and some of them stink to high heaven.




The major stinkers include the sneaky passage of Obamacare under a Democrat cloak of secrecy and everything associated with that socialistic monstrosity, the blatant black racism in the Department of Justice, the stonewalling on the Fast and Furious debacle, and the president’s abject failure to lead us out of an endless recession in lieu of which he speechifies us into numbness.



Obama’s misbegotten “cash for clunkers” scheme which cost taxpayers $24,000 per clunker qualifies as a relatively minor stinker but the matter of Nidal Malik Hasan has to be up there in the stinks to high heaven category and may yet evolve into the most obscene of all obscene Obamian travesties.



Without mitigating the seriousness of the other political stinkers, an odoriferous smell permeates the case of US Major Nidal Malik Hasan, soldier, psychiatrist, Muslim–and alleged mass murderer who slaughtered more men and women at Fort Hood on November 9th, 2009 than James Holmes did in Aurora, Colorado on July 20th, 2012.



Major Hasan must be referred to as an “alleged mass murderer” under the American military justice system despite dozens of witnesses to his summary execution of 13 innocent victims, 14 if we include a pre-born baby, and wounding of 29 others at Fort Hood, Texas.



Had Hasan been charged, tried, and convicted of such horrific crimes in a kangaroo Islamic court, he would have long since been beheaded, hanged by his privates, then disemboweled with his carcass tossed into pit filled with ravenous, rabid wolves.



However, this is America.



With the aid and comfort of the Obama administration which cowed Hasan’s superior officers into turning deaf ears and blind eyes toward their underling’s terrorist ties for fear of being accused of anti-Islamic bias, Hasan has been milking our justice system for all it’s worth.



At the same time, he and his free, government-appointed lawyers supplemented by volunteer Muslim sympathizers have been delaying justice as well as affording an alleged mass murderer extended time to plead an indefensible case.



The Hasan fix is in and it stinks to high heaven.



Our president laid the foundation for Hasan’s defense with his adamant refusal to admit that America is enmeshed in a decades-old war with Islamic terrorists as shown in his memorial speech following the Fort Hood massacre. He attributed the shootings to wartime stress even though Hasan had never served a day in armed battle.



Besides, since a war against Muslim terrorists doesn’t exist, how could Hasan be a Muslim terrorist?



Subsequently, Obama’s Department of Justice, America’s Department of Justice, provided Hasan with another out when it chose to describe his unprovoked mayhem at Fort Hood not as a clear instance of domestic Islamic terrorism but as an example of “workplace violence,” the equivalent of an overpaid USPS letter carrier going postal because his route was changed and he now had to deliver mail from a satchel instead of a truck.



Echoing Mohammad Atta’s war cry “Alahu Akbar” (Allah is great) as he crashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the World Trade Center’s North Tower on September 11th, 2001, Hasan, whose business card identified him as “a soldier of Allah,” delivered murderous mayhem upon his victims in that “workplace violence.” . . .
