Anderson Cooper and Radical Gay Rights Groups Rush To Exploit Tragic Teen Suicide
As questions abound about why Asher Brown, a 13-year-old public school student in Houston, might have taken his own life, CNN‘s Anderson Cooper and the radical gay lobby have both rushed in to capitalize on one of the boy’s grieving parents’ many claims, that the cause of his death is bullying by students because he was gay. Key points of information are being ignored in the mad rush to point to anti-gay bullying and to the school’s alleged failure to address it. State legislators’ phones are already lighting up as the radical gay lobby uses Asher Brown to petition for legislation not to combat “all bullying” but specifically “anti-gay bullying” in schools. What madness is it that prompts the Left to become as vultures amid such tragedy? I have pointed questions about the facts that are being ignored.

When the Journolist scandal broke, the leftist media’s behind-the-scenes communications about Sarah Palin revealed an anti-Christian sentiment. Now, as two stories about faith, one from President Obama and one from Christine O’Donnell, hit the headlines at roughly the same time but with very different perspectives, we take note of a clear example of anti-Christian attitudes being directed against only one side — the Right. The disparity in reporting involved in these two similar stories gives us a rare glimpse into media facilitation of the agenda of the Religious Left, to educate America that God is good and relevant when referenced by the Left, but scary or irrelevant when referenced by the Right.

Hot Post:Islam Meets Catholicism as Muslim Protesters Call for Death of Pope Benedict
Read the original post here…
Though the Crusades were fought centuries ago and are rarely, if ever, mentioned in Catholic classrooms, Muslims today who want Jihad continue to flaunt them in vengeful tones and wallow in hatred for Catholicism. So it was when Pope Benedict XVI visited the United Kingdom and was met on his itinerary by a group of angry Islamists urging for his death and calling him “responsible” for the Crusades.

Teachers are being forced to report children as young as three to the authorities for using alleged ‘racist’ language, it was claimed last night.
Munira Mirza, a senior advisor to London Mayor Boris Johnson, said schools were being made to spy on nursery age youngsters by the Race Relations Act 2000.
More than a quarter of a million children have been accused of racism since it became law, she said.

Delaware voters have spoken and have elected conservative Christine O’Donnell to be the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in the Liberty and Independence State. As the people rise up to take their government back, however, the leftist Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington [CREW] – a group heavily funded by multi-billionaire and unofficial owner of the Democratic Party, George Soros - has pledged to target O’Donnell. They ironically demand that the Federal Election Commission investigate her campaign funding. As Soros stands to gain potentially billions in revenue from Cap and Trade, a pledge to vote against the legislation is a top priority for O’Donnell. How far will Soros’ minions go to prevent her election?

In the Washington Post’s ‘On Faith’ section, columnist Elizabeth Tenety has covered public statements made by Lady Gaga and Christine O’Donnell on the issue of chastity. In separate columns, Tenety has opined that one of these two public figures has made chastity “cool” while the other should probably keep her mouth shut. Can you guess which one Tenety thinks is “cool” for speaking out about chastity?

While the leftist media may have been all over the Pastor “Balloon Boy” Jones story, a serious attack on public officials by a fan of Che Guevara is going virtually unnoticed. After stabbing two people on Tuesday in Kansas City, including a college dean whose throat was slashed, evidence of Casey Brezik‘s collectivist views and esteem for Che Guevara are non-existent in news reports as I write. Could the disproportionate reporting be due to (gasp!) leftist media bias?
The heads of three U.S. Catholic bishops’ committees have endorsed an “interfaith statement” denouncing anti-Muslim bigotry. Sadly, the list of signatories reads like a laundry list of key figures from the Religious Left along with Wahhabists from the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). These bishops may intend to lead the flock into a world of peace and harmony, but in reality they’re traveling a “yellow brick road” to a fantasy land that does not and likely will never exist. Someone has to be “Auntie Em” here, calling the bishops back home to the real world. It might as well be me.
I’ve put together some background information on those who signed on to this “interfaith statement.” Prepare yourselves for the shocking truth and ask yourself, why are Catholics bishops joining with extremist Wahhabists and apologists for HAMAS to call for “religious tolerance” so close to the anniversary of the attacks on 9/11/?
Is it schizophrenia? Or something worse?

Chris Korzen, Executive Director of the George Soros-connected fake Catholic organization Catholics United (CU) may have finally bitten off more than he can chew. On Friday, he announced that CU is going into the news business and will, among other things, be “reporting on the activities of Catholic News Agency (CNA) and EWTN.” Korzen vs. Mother Angelica? What is this man thinking?
I so long for the good old days when we called the leftists “knee-jerk liberals” (they’re not actually liberals) while the conservatives were the logical and deliberative ones. These days the Right has become “knee-jerky”, it seems, as finagling goes on to build coalitions to put conservatives back in power. This sort of in-fighting is exactly what the Left wants. It’s time we all took a deep breath and got to the heart of what we all claim to be fighting for — the Constitution.
