Liberals are actively undermining First Amendment rights to free speech by trying to crush opposing views.
Growing ever bolder in their naked grab for power they are leaving scorched earth behind those who disagree with them. This is why Dick Gephardt, Joe Lieberman and Zell Miller no longer find themselves included in the modern Democratic Party. What is left over for the Democrats are wildly anti-American, anti-God and anti-biblical leftists who are now bragging about their use of brute force to crush the voices of those who disagree with them.
Perhaps that's why this week in one of the boldest moves yet by a sitting liberal, Democrat California Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez proclaimed, "The real purpose of SB 1437 is to outlaw traditional perspectives on marriage and family in the state school system."
He continued, "The way you correct a wrong (perspective) is by outlawing. 'Cause if you don't outlaw it, then people's biases tend to take over and dominate the perspective and the point of view."
Nunez's solution to the people he disagrees with is to outlaw their ability to disagree with him.
And Nunez's viewpoint is one that pervades liberals in his party and in the nation. That is why Nunez and his fellow Democrats in the California State Assembly voted in unison to pass four bills that are all designed to punish people who disagree with them. To incarcerate someone for daring to criticize a different point of view – over a purely behavioral issue.
The bills in question have passed both houses and await Gov. Schwarzenegger's signature or veto. The bills were unanimously embraced by the Democrats and universally denounced by the Republicans.
What do they say?
These four bills would require that in every classroom from kindergarten through high school perverse sexual activity be praised and highlighted in a positive light. They would require textbooks, many of which would then also be produced for other states beyond the borders of California, make positive references to the ideas of men putting on women's under things. They would restrict school districts from being able to bar females from displaying dildos on the outerwear of their prom dress. And in functional sexuality courses from K-12, they would require positive explanation of the merits and instruction of anal intercourse.
These four bills are also dangerous in what they outlaw. No single teacher – not even in science classes – would be allowed to talk about the negative health impact of homosexual behavior. No school counselor would be allowed to confirm to a molested student that they felt wrong about continuing in a homosexual relationship that they were primarily drawn into because of earlier molestation to begin with. No mention of moral aspects of sexual behavior would be permitted unless immoral activity were praised and in fact referred to as moral.
In other words, the pushing of the sexual envelope would be unleashed with a nitro-fueled explosion the likes of which has never been seen in America's history.
One of the bills goes a step further. Its actual purpose is to cripple any state resources such as fire or police protection for any religious institution – i.e., a Bible-based church – that would in any way demonstrate negative "doctrine" or "propaganda." So if an arsonist (who also just happened to be a radical activist) decided to burn down a church that was in their view teaching the faithful interpretation of Scripture as it relates to sexual practice, then the local fire company could be barred from assisting in the recovery and protection of said facility.
So why are liberals going to such extremes to shut down and shut out any opposing view?
Because they are a stubborn and sinful people – people that are bent on reshaping a utopia that God did not design and one that will never exist.
Just because the entire world claims there is no God doesn't make Him disappear. Just because a majority of voters might even say that two men hooking up is the moral equivalence of marriage doesn't mean it is marriage.
Liberals are wracked with guilt because the conscience that God put inside of them has told them again and again that such things are wrong. But instead of choosing to change their view, they have instead chosen to crush anyone and everyone who would give support to the message that their heart already knows.
Without Judeo-Christian morals, there would be no society in place today that would have allowed freedom of speech. And as the moral framework of the Judeo-Christian society that America has always been is systematically being targeted for erasure, the little power mongers and dictators are already aligning to rule with absolute say.
Speaker Nunez's view to "outlaw traditional perspectives" is shocking in its blunt regurgitation. It is also, sadly, not new to the hard left in America. And without the power of debate, ideas and dissent it is being given a larger and larger place at the table.
So the godless have announced their intentions and now it is up to us to speak – while we still have voice. Call Gov. Schwarzenegger today at 916-445-2841 and ask him to protect free speech and perspectives of many sorts.
Moral guilt serves its purpose and the best way to rid one's self of it is to change behavior. To attempt to appease it by stifling those you disagree with will only cause it to grow.
What happens when the opposition is gone and the guilt still pervades?
Common sense has been telling us this for years – will we listen?
( No more Olmert! No more Kadima! No more Oslo!)
If there's a video of Nunez saying those things, and the (State and National) Republican Party doesn't use it in their campaigns, it'll be a(nother) missed opportunity.
Unadulterated fascism. Plain and simple.
I truly hate the left.
No, Nunez--can't do it. Can't be allowed to do it. If somehow you do, there'll be hell to pay... the people must rise up and refuse to follow a law that is clearly unconstitutional. You're making war and you'll lose.
Is this actually true? If so, it is a criminal act.
Then again, part of me is saying, "Keep pushing, you idiots."
The first two of these are all but Commies, Gephardt in particular. I'm still filled with homicidal rage when I think of his "Life's Lottery" speech. Zell was of course filled with mis-guided loyalty to a party that died thirty years ago.
No wonder Bishop Swing is going apesweat in his retirement, he sees the socialist goal of turning Churches into Pub Ed like institutes within his ready grasp. The fool.
This was reason #1 why I left California. We fought this and we fought this and all we got was our children being diagnosed ADHD. They only escaped because we remonved them from the school system altogether and home-schooled them. It has been war in CA over these issues for several decades now.
Personally, I find these bills to be the last act of desperate immature superannuated children. What remains to be seen is if those who have remained in CA have the cojones to rise up, take up the cudgels and put the fascists down, or will they supinely lay back and be Nunez' willing executioners?
How terrifying. Yet the ACLU and their ilk think the threat to our civil liberties comes from Bush spying on terrorists?? If these people were to gain power at the national level how soon will it be before people on the right are thrown in gulags.
If Schwarzenegger signs this outrage then I hope he gets beaten on Nov 7.
This is a forerunner for the rest of the U. S. It will just take a little longer.
When Judeo-Christian religion is attacked and eventually removed/nullified, substitute "Gods" - of self, materialism, sensuality - are not long in appearing.
Marx, Lenin, Stalin knew this very well, as do all the others such as Castro (Che Guevara is depicted in Cuba on posters as a Christ figure.)
To control, they knew well, it is necessary to destroy religion and seize the press, now dba the media.
So, you'd vote for Phil Angelides? This would be useful, aid in rebuking the fascists...how? Would not ol' Phil be a willing hoor for the pederasties, handing your children over to the abusers for the greater secularist enlightenment of their minds and bodies?
Seems you Californians are backed into a corner, actually. You better dance with who you brung, even if things don't always go your way. The alternative is to do as I have done and leave. I felt like the Pilgrims felt when I crossed the AZ border (115 degrees out and I still stopped the RV, got out and kissed the very hot, dry ground). I had escaped a nightmare. I very much know what you all must feel, deeply sympathize and tell you: either you stand and fight, give it over and become like them or leave. I don't see any other choices, not any longer.
And that makes me very sorry. CA was once a great state. Many of her citizens still are great, but many more are not. Too many are not and they are coming for you.
I'm not in CA. I have read that Schwarzenegger will veto this bill. Maybe if I lived there I would consider voting for him then. If he signed this bill I would vote for neither candidate. If a GOP governor is going to be every bit as bad as a Demo one then I would shed no tears if he was defeated.
Having said that though, I hope Schwarzenegger wins since it will be a blow to the Democrats losing the CA governorship once again.
I agree that it would hurt but I also suspect it would be more like the insult that led to the real fighting than anything they would actually take to heart. In some ways Arnold is the bandaid on the brain cancer that is California politics (I was going to make a simile about that Dutch boy, but CA political circles kind of make the meaning go awry).
MAJOR INTREP
