McDonald’s critics enlist YouTube, Martin Luther King Jr.
A boycott called against McDonald’s Golden Arches because of the corporation’s advocacy for homosexuality is exploding, with YouTube videos citing Martin Luther King Jr.’s call to no longer “lend our cooperation” to an “evil system” and marchers moving from one California store to another in search of an way to influence the global conglomerate.
Sorry, gang. That dog isn’t hunting for me or anyone else. If anyone has the moral authority to use MLK’s visage, it’s McDonalds. After all, they, like he, are pursuing the precepts of universal human equality. And if Dr. Plagiarist were here today, he would be on Ronald’s side.
Similarly, the members of the American judicial system that strike down prohibitions on gay “marriage” very consistently cite similar and earlier judicial decisions striking down laws against interracial marriage. Equality is equality, you can’t divide it.

They’re called Human Rights Commissions. Equality and liberty are diametrically opposing concepts.
Artist hit for refusal on beliefs
An evangelical Christian photographer was brought before the New Mexico Human Rights Commission after she declined for religious reasons to photograph a same-sex commitment ceremony.
When Elaine Huguenin of Albuquerque, N.M., declined in September 2006 an e-mail request from a lesbian couple to photograph their ceremony, one of the lesbians responded by lodging a human rights complaint with the New Mexico Human Rights Division, the state agency charged with enforcing state anti-discrimination laws and sending cases to the commission to be adjudicated.
Vanessa Willock sought an injunction to prohibit Mrs. Huguenin and her business, Elane Photography, from declining any future request to photograph a same-sex ceremony. The agency agreed to hear Miss Willock’s complaint, the latest case brought before tribunals in the U.S. and Canada that free-speech advocates say threaten expression across North America.
In the absence of Miss Huguenin, I can think of one photographer in New Mexico who might gladly take that job. Set your GPS to Ruidoso.
New York Legalizes Homosexual “Marriage” February 2, 2008
Posted by Webmaster in Constitutional Integrity, Culture Wars, Foreign Relations.comments closed
A panel of New York State appellate-level judges ruled that the state must recognize homosexual marriage licenses issued in states and countries that recognize gay marriage. The question in front of this panel was of a lesbian couple “married” in Canada in 2004.
This issue and the court’s ruling might induce a Federal constitutional concern. Since treaties with foreign countries are exclusively a Federal issue, I would guess that the states in the union could only recognize a foreign marriage if the Federal government recognizes them, either by treaty or by some other mechanism. I don’t know if the Federal government recognizes foreign “marriages” of homosexual couples, but my guess is that, in the height of the debate over them in the late 1990s and early this decade, and especially after the ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court in 2004 that essentially legalized them in the state, the Feds probably don’t. I could be wrong — if you can answer my question, please contact us (see the navigation bar the the top of this page).
Because We Just Got Through Celebrating a Holiday That Observes the Birth of “Christ,” Not “Common” January 3, 2008

Missouri State Sen. John Loudon (R-St. Louis County) has introduced the bill that would require the state to use the initials “A.D.” and “B.C.” in official documents referring to years that require those monikers. The reason for this bill is to head off the anti-Christian nitwits and the PC Taliban that wants to change those initials to “CE” (Common Era) and “BCE” (Before Common Era), to expunge any mention of a certain religious figure.
When I was in college, certain history professors required the use of CE/BCE and prohibited the use of AD/BC, though I was lucky enough never to have any that did. Also, this article informs us that, according to Sen. Loudon, NASA has gone nitwit and made that change. Here’s some evidence that they have.

Homosexodus! Students flee forced ‘gay’ agenda
Parents in California have started reacting to the state’s newly mandated homosexual indoctrination program by pulling their children out of classes, and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O’Connell is warning districts they’ll lose money if that happens.
Jack O’Donnell — that name rings a bell.
Oh yeah, that’s right. He hates white schoolteachers.
California SB 777 Not So Lucky October 19, 2007
Posted by Webmaster in Culture Wars.comments closed
Remember this, from last year?
It came to pass this year, in the form of California Senate Bill SB 777, which did pass both chambers, and was signed into law by Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Under the guise of “non-discrimination” on the basis of sexual and gender orientation in public schools, the terms “mom” and “dad” will now be banished from textbooks. More amazingly:
England noted that the district website confirms if a male perceives himself as a female, “he must be granted access to female locker rooms and restrooms. He must be allowed to participate in female sports activities.
I get the feeling now that there will be a sudden surge in the number of teenage boys in California that call themselves TS/TG. Though if equity is their only concern, this is only fair play, because girls and women have access to boy’s and men’s locker rooms for the sake of gender equity in journalism.

Good manners and basic social skills such as taking turns are just as important to kids’ success in school as a focus on reading, writing and ‘rithmetic, a new book suggests.
Students should learn charm-school skills alongside the academic subjects that teachers must pass on to meet the demands of the federal No Child Left Behind Act, said co-author Stephen Elliott of Vanderbilt University.
The top 10 skills that students need to succeed based on the authors’ surveys of more than 8,000 teachers include:
* Listen to others
* Follow the steps
* Follow the rules
* Ignore distractions
* Ask for help
* Take turns when you talk
* Get along with others
* Stay calm with others
* Be responsible for your behavior
* Do nice things for others.
“Follow the steps” and “rules?” Except when it comes to diverse individuals — their “rules” and “steps” use a different and more lenient paradigm. “Ask for help?” What if your public school-indoctrinated self-esteem is so high that you think you know it all already? “Take turns when you talk?” What if you feel so good about what you’re about to say that it just can’t wait? “Be responsible for your behavior.” Except if racism, discrimination, segregation, slavery, poverty, and the rumor of ropes hanging around a tree are to blame, then you don’t need to.

The Port of Seattle Authority, which owns and operates Sea-Tac International Airport, has decided that this Christmas, there will be no Christmas trees or anything religious displayed at the terminal.
Instead, there will be a holiday forest.
Atlanta Politicians Threaten Christians, Nullify U.S. and Georgia Constitutions June 23, 2007

The city of Atlanta has created a Constitution-free zone on public property for this weekend’s 2007 Atlanta Pride festival, according to pastors and lawyers who have been trying to secure an assurance that Christians’ free-speech rights will be protected.
“The Constitution does not apply in Piedmont Park this weekend,” attorney Joel Thornton, of the International Human Rights Group told WND.
“The city of Atlanta, whose attorneys I have been negotiating with for the past six months, has just sent me a letter saying that they ‘will not be able to offer you or your client[s] any assistance in this matter,’” he said.
The rest of the article details the abuse that Christian protesters at last year’s Atlanta Pride festival took at the hands of the milieu of tolerance-obsessed pridesters and the Atlanta police.
When the Federal judiciary will intervene and force Atlanta and other cities to accommodate protesters to homosexual pride events and ensure their safety, as the same judiciary did with the Selma-to-Montomgery voting rights march in 1965, is unknown.
