Out of this campaign came the famous Sullivan Principles. U.S.-based companies agreed not to engage in racial segregation and separation in their South African branches. The Sullivan Principles were an important milestone on the road to majority rule in that nation. And Rev. Sullivan also called upon the apartheid regime to release Nobel Peace Prize Winner Nelson Mandela.

Let me get this straight. SA was helped on it’s merry way by the Sullivan Principles, and world wide government intervention in something many of them may not have been entirely aware of and were nevertheless sticking their noses where they didn’t belong, causing an early end to a situation that kept SA somewhat a sane place to live. Color me somewhat skeptical. The end of apartheid was not the utopia dreamed of.

Whenever a person or enterprise is a success in this country, they come under attack.

Can anyone still be in the dark about where that attack comes from?

Interesting. Townhall.com singles out Apple, but doesn’t doesn’t say a word about HP, Dell, Google, and every other “American” company that has their computers and phones manufactured in China in the same factories that Apple does.

I call on the pro-choice leaders in this country to speak out. I want to know if they will stand up for Chinese women’s rights. If they truly believe in choice and not in pushing abortion, they will be the first to lead on this critical issue.

I first read about forced abortions and female infanticides in China in the early 1980s, and those practices most likely predated my first learning of them. Given the "feminist" silence on the matter for at least the last three decades, I don't have much expectation that they will stand up for Chinese women's rights any time soon.

Mr. President! Madame Secretary! Will you speak out?

(N)ope. They give lip service to women as a means to acquire power but they (and especially Obama) KNOW that in a managed utopia, society will necessarily be structured and measured and reproductive freedom (along with most other freedoms)will be anathema.

(For the common good, you see.)
