Cheryl Bacon on Dennis Prager [Another Red Cross "Apology"]
Dennis Prager Show as herd on KRLA | March 14, 2002 | Dennis Prager

Posted on 03/14/2002 8:52:17 AM PST by Avoiding_Sulla

On going controversy. 9:20 A.m - 10:00 A.M.

Teresa Losario (sp?) of Sacramento Chapter of Red Cross was flushed out when she heard Prager say "bureaucrats issue statements" because they're afraid to be challenged in public.

If true to form, this will likely be rebroadcast by KRLA between 6 & 7 P.M. tonight.

Prager has been calling for someone to be fired from Orange County Red Cross.

Is that enough?

Won't be nearly enough. The sentiments that have allowed the Red Cross to become what it has start at the top.

John Gibson (FoxNewsNetwork) said yesterday at the end of his news show, that he no longer supports the Red Cross.

O'Reily said at the begining of his show last night that he now is "Boycotting" the Red Cross...."They are out of control"

A Tale of Two Out of Control Organizations

[ SNIP ]

And then there's the Red Cross, in yet another embarrassing episode. The Red Cross in Orange County, California, told the high school choir it could not sing "America the Beautiful" or "God Bless America" at a Red Cross event because the songs contained references to God. The students pulled out of the program and we applaud them.

After the story broke, the Red Cross apologized and said it had made a mistake, but not before another statement was issued saying the Red Cross did not want the songs included because it is sensitive to, quote, "religious diversity," unquote.

Well, I'm sensitive to abject stupidity, and enough's enough with the Red Cross, from their bungling of the 9/11 fund for the victims' families to the Guantanamo squawking to the songs issue, this organization is finished in my eyes. The top brass at the Red Cross make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, so they don't need my donations. I'm officially boycotting the Red Cross until they change their national leadership and their attitude.

I fully realize may local Red Cross outfits are not foolish and inefficient, so my boycott does not extend to them. But the Red Cross desperately needs an overhaul, and only financial pressure will make that happen.

The songs that the Red Cross found subversive:

1. "Declaration" which has the words from the Declaration of Independence.

2. "G-d Bless the USA" and "America the Beautiful" because they mention the USA and, yikes, the Creator of the Universe.

3. "Prayer for the Children" because it uses the word "prayer."

THESE SUBVERSIVE SONGS ARE RIGHT WING RELIGIOUS EXTREMIST PROPAGANDA!

Everybody is overlooking the fact that the principal of the school where these children go also castigated the teacher for arranging the program, saying, "It was unprofessional of her to want to present a program that others wold find offensive." I am equallly offended at his nonsupportive and unpatriotic attitude.

Apologies: I was in a hurry to get this up so FReepers might get to hear it live and maybe get in some phone calls.

Some corrections:

My observation after the interview:

As it turned out, while the Sacramento Chapter head said that other Chapters found the O.C. Chapter's position extremist, she also included the National in that perception.
When Prager pointed out that the O.C. Register had reported that the National backed the "apology" letter, she admitted she didn't know.
So if she was indeed a spokesperson for another chapter of ARC, from that point on she wasn't helping her cause.

Bump.

Listen 6 to 7 if you missed it.

KRLA webite where you can listen over the internet.

Red Cross banned a song called Declaration because it had the words from the Declaration of Indpendence as its lyrics.

Red Cross said it was "too political".

If asked, this principal would probably state that he's "just as patriotic as the next guy" and "loves his country". There's a lot of that going around these days. Kinda like a wife-beater telling his wife he beats her because he loves her.

Let the donations dry up and the organization with these anti-American slime will whither away. Then another organization can be established to pick up where this one failed.

Just remember that the NEA backed their fellow pinko bureaucracy.

Red is certainly the right color for their cross. The Red Cross has become an unapologetically Marxist organization. We would be well quit of it.

BTW, ever notice how almost every international organization funded with tax dollars marches right into Stalinism?

Many charities and foundations all over the U.S. and the world have been infiltrated over the past 20 years or so by Ivy League and sub-Ivy League lefties who have now been promoted to upper-level, policy-making positions. This is a repeat of what has happened to the mainline churches in the U.S.

Lefties initially demand tolerance from those with other viewpoints in running the organizations until they are able to take over; at that point all tolerance ends. Once in positions of power, leftist elitists who head religious and charitable organizations line their own pockets by finagling corporate-style salaries for themselves and slush fund expense accounts. They redecorate their offices, eat lunch in fancy bistros, and hobnob with rich people and government bigwigs. They hire their worthless, leftist buddies as consultants to run fake "programs" or do fake "research" and write up empty, leftwing "reports" to be disseminated by cooperative presstitutes. They lobby government for funding (based on all those "reports"). They get to pretend their are doing good for the world.

Not a bad racket.

American Communist Red Cross X

These arrogant bastards do not have the right to use the name since they have nothing to do with American nor the Cross.

I would like to add just one more thing to my Reply 18. There is a name for the process which occurs after leftist elits gain control of organizations and enrich themselves and their cohorts using other people's money. It's called Clintonization, and it's just what the Clintons did on a grand scale with the federal government. A VERY nice racket.
