When are “We the People” going to challenge Congress on creating unconstitutional legislation?
There is no enumerated provision in the United States Constitution that grants power over the nation’s educational apparatus to the federal government. In fact, the constitution only grants those enumerated powers and reserves the rest of any power to either the states or individuals. Something that is skirted by the federal government by coercion – withholding taxpayers funds from educational institutions that do not conform to their “standards.” An illegal act, a criminal act. The Department of Education needs to be eliminated or greatly downsized as they are not only unconstitutional, but have failed their mission. When we see the creation of functional illiterates, the rise of activism over arithmetic, and social nonsense being made part of the curriculum, they have failed. Even dumbing down tests to produce higher scores did not help.
Here is an example of such unconstitutional nonsense hidden in another massive 1000+ page bill few legislators read and fewer understand before voting along party line …
Bear in mind that the constitution demands that all people be treated equally under the law. There is no provision for coercive behavior on the part of the federal government to implement affirmative action or laws which provide enhanced penalties to protect any class of individuals. Murder is murder, rape is rape, and bullying is bullying. It doesn’t matter what color, nationality, sex, or sexual orientation you may be.
Education Bill to Give Special Protection to Homosexual Students
The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was first signed into law in 1965 by President Lyndon B. Johnson. In 2001, President George W. Bush helped to revamp the ESEA and gave it the name No Child Left Behind Act. Bush’s version of the statute expired in 2007. Since its expiration, Congress has made a number of attempts to pass another revision of No Child Left Behind, but as yet, all attempts have failed.
Earlier this month, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) introduced another massive version of the education bill. His bill covers 1,150 pages and like so many huge bills, contains hidden items that most people would never notice until it’s too late. In Harkin’s case, the hidden provision starts on page 694 and lays out plans to protect LGBT students from bullying.
The bill goes so far in protecting gay and lesbian students that any school that does not take the necessary steps to prevent bullying and harassing of gay and lesbian students could have their funding cut off. The bill says nothing about cutting the funding from schools that allow the bullying and harassing of normal student or Christian students, or Jewish student, just gays and lesbians.
Once again we see where gays and lesbians are after preferential treatment, not equal treatment. In fact, it is socially acceptable to bully and harass straight, Christian and conservative students, but it’s not okay to give the same bullying treatment to gay, lesbian, Hispanic or Muslim students.

Bottom line …
There are enough laws on the books – although they are rarely enforced. It is time to demand legislator stop creating legislation that panders to activists and special interests ONLY to secure their financial support and votes.
An Obama-allied group that is at the center of the scandal over IRS harassment of conservative organizations was the target of a protest outside its own headquarters.
“The escalation of homosexual activist power is bad for America, and American liberty,” declared Peter LaBarbera of the group Americans for Truth outside the headquarters of the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) in Washington, D.C. He said Christians and conservatives in favor of traditional values are being subjected to “intimidation, bullying, violence, [and] dirty tricks,” such as the HRC’s acquisition of the National Organization for Marriage’s IRS donor filings, for the purpose of harassing opponents of the gay agenda.
The Huffington Post had also received and publicized the confidential information, a violation of federal law.
A banner, “Homosexuality Is Nothing to Be Proud of, but overcoming it is,” was displayed in reference to President Obama’s proclamation of June as “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.”
Obama previously celebrated the 1969 homosexual riots at a seedy Mafia-run bar known as the Stonewall Inn.
Aware of the planned press conference, the HRC put a “Welcome Peter” sign on its headquarters.
But LaBarbera didn’t return the welcome, saying that “The deviant sexual revolution represented by the Human Rights Campaign headquarters behind us is built on a foundation of lies.”
He called the homosexual revolution “one of the most amazing marketing stories of all time: a sexual sin once defined by Noah Webster as the ‘Crime Against Nature,’ condemned by God for millennia, was repackaged as the supposed basis for ‘civil rights.’”
Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel Action, one of several participants in the news conference, denounced the Human Rights Campaign for its role in receiving and using confidential financial records from the IRS to attack donors to the National Organization for Marriage (NOM).
HRC President Joe Solmonese was a co-chair of President Obama’s re-election committee, and Obama spoke at an HRC dinner in 2011.
Mr. John Eastman, the NOM Chairman, was on Capitol Hill at about the same time, describing the criminal conduct involving the HRC. He testified that NOM’s 2008 Form 990 Schedule B information was obtained illegally by the HRC and The Huffington Post and that such actions constitute “a serious felony punishable by a $5,000 fine and up to five years in federal prison…”
Yet, he went on, NOM has been stonewalled in its attempts to discover on its own the source of the felonious conduct, and the organization has “received no satisfaction from the law enforcement authorities of the United States, whose duty it is to prosecute felonious disclosure of confidential tax returns.”
The Washington, D.C. protest outside the headquarters of the HRC also included Eric Holmberg, producer of the documentary “Is Gay the New Black? Homosexuality and the Civil Rights Movement.” He released a YouTube clip of his film titled “From Selma to Stonewall” and said the homosexual movement has used the comparison with blacks to “propagandize” for their cause and to try to “normalize” homosexuality.
During the question-and-answer period, a reporter for BuzzFeed, a financial backer of the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association, said he had just spoken to a former top adviser to Mitt Romney’s campaign who said it was impossible to reverse the trend for homosexual rights in America.
The lead letters at yesterday’s Los Angeles Times were in response to the coward David Blankenhorn’s recent op-ed, “What matters now about marriage.”
I’m surprised this one got past the editors:
I would say to Blankenhorn that what matters about marriage is the children. He fails to mention where the children fit into a gay marriage that has either two men or two women living together.
How does a child keep his or her head on straight when there is either no father or no mother? How does a female child living with two women learn the love and protection that only a man can provide? How does a male child living with two men learn the love and softness that only a woman can contribute?
How does the child, living in a lopsided environment, understand that a woman has her role in the marriage and that the man has his role in the marriage? It cannot be duplicated by two men or two women being married partners.

After all is said and done, this is the core argument that leftists can never rebut. All they can say is that it doesn’t matter, that people have a so-called “human” right to marry whomever they want. Screw the children. It’s all about the homosexual narcissists themselves.
The ever increasing bullying of the gay agenda in America has now resulted in changes for the Boy Scouts of America that are devastating. Now openly gay boys will be allowed to become boy scouts because of the vote of some 1,400 BSA leaders.
The battle is far from over and dozens if not hundreds of lawsuits will be forthcoming in the days ahead. There are about 1.1 million scouts across the nation and many of them will be leaving the scout troops for several obvious reasons. Firstly many parents do not want their boys exposed to gay activity because of their personal and religious convictions.
According to NARTH (National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuals) a recent report says that there is no doubt that “homosexual youth are sexually active than their heterosexual peers.” The study was based on a sampling of teens in Massachusetts and the results are published in an article written by Michelle Cretella, MD and David C. Pruden, MS, entitled “Research Pertinent to the Boy Scouts of America Policy Change Debate.” May 20, 2013
Another cause for future exits from the BSA is due to the fact that many of the troops across the nation are sponsored by churches and religious ministries that are strongly opposed to the promulgation of the gay agenda. Sponsorship will be pulled and not offered again in many cases.
What never seems to occur to either the President who announced for everything gay since his first term, to the beleaguered congress that are being bombarded by gay activist groups is that; the words of the Bible about the sinfulness of homosexuality are written in their hearts, not just the pages of the world’s most revered and trusted book.
We do not accept because it has become vogue the call to everything LBGT and by no means do Christians equate the gay agenda as the just cause of a civil group that is being denied their rights. They are not a race, or a particular religion or creed but simply a people who want to put their preferences and choices on a level as normal, acceptable and moral. This world will come to its ignominious end before real Christians ever accept the perversion of the LBGT as something as normal.
True believers are well beyond worrying about whether people can see the troubles, catastrophes and disasters as part and parcel to the judgments that follow our worst national behavior.
Not long after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down California’s Prop-8 as unconstitutional most of the western states, but especially California began burning and homes and property was devastated.
Only days before Southern Decadence was to begin its celebrations in New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina came to end it and anything else planned in that area for years to come.
Only one day after the State of Oklahoma began its ‘Gay Pride Week” the worst tornado in the history of the planet touched down to flatten over 12,000 homes and properties.
People may doubt that God would do these kinds of interventions, they blame global warning, solar flares, coincidence and shear bad luck, but according to the Bible these kinds of interventions will come from God with ever increasing frequency until they become even more frequent and far more intense.
One of the goals of Communism is to “Present Homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as “normal, natural, and healthy”.
It comes as no surprise that, during a CBS interview in February, President Obama supported having the Boy Scouts of America open its membership to gays and, presumably, those who lead scout troops as well. “My attitude, the President said “is that gays and lesbians should have access and opportunity the same way everybody else does, in every institution and walk of life.” Spoken like a good Communist hiding the true intent of debasing the cultural and moral life of America.
It is worth revisiting the Scout Oath: On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physical strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” The Scout Law is “A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.”
These are attitudes and beliefs that have served generations of Scouts through life, inspiring them to maintain values that we admire in anyone and which benefit society.
On May 23rd, the BSA board of directors will vote on whether to change its policies to allow openly homosexual scouts as members and/or gay scout leaders. A survey of its members released in early May demonstrated that a majority support keeping the current, longtime policy of exclusion in place, prohibiting homosexuals from joining or leading the organization. Fully 61% favored keeping the current policy while 34% opposed it.
There is a compelling reason, beyond the cultural and moral issues involved. According to the Centers for Disease Control “gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) represent approximately 2% of the population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIV”, the virus that causes AIDS. “In 2010, MSM accounted for 63% of all new HIV infections.”
The Boy Scouts are one of the largest youth organizations in the nation with 2.7 million youth members and more than a million adult volunteers. Since its founding in 1910 as part of the international scouting movement, more than 110 million Americans have been members of the BSA.
Its goals, as the Scout Oath reveals, is to train young men in citizenship, to develop worthy character traits, as well as self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities, educational programs, and, for older scouts, career-oriented programs in partnership with community organizations. Cub Scouting is open to boys ages 7 to 10½ years, Boy Scouting for boys ages 10½ to 18 and Venturing for young men and women ages 14 through 21. It also offers Learning for Live that provides in-school and career education. Units are led entirely by volunteers.
The BSA holds a Congressional charter under Title 36 of the United States Code making it among a very small number of other patriotic and national organizations that are similarly chartered. Among them are the Girl Scouts of America, the American Legion, and the American Red Cross.
As attacks mounted against the BSA, the Supreme Court in 2000 ruled in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale that it and all other private organizations are constitutionally protected under the First Amendment of freedom of association to set membership standards.

What part of equal rights under the law do you not understand?
There is no doubt in my mind that the democrat socialists are continuing to shred the Constitution of the United States by conferring super-citizen privileges to people based on race and gender identity. Whatever happened to the concept that all people are treated equally under the law.
Now comes a Senator, Patrick Leahy, who must be as corrupt as they come; because he chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee and is a lawyer. Who better to understand the Constitution and the law?
Now we are learning that Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) wants to add an amendment to the bill that would give preferential treatment to the illegal alien same-sex partners of American citizens. Like the military benefits being offered to the unmarried same-sex partners of US servicemen and women, this amendment does not offer the same preferential treatment for the unmarried partners of heterosexual couples. If you’re gay, you get to move to the head of the line and if you’re not gay, you take your place in line like everyone else. Read more at: Liberal Senator to Add Same Sex Marriage Preferential Treatment to Immigration Reform
Bottom line …
When are the democrat socialists going to honor their oath of office and protect, preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States? When are the democrat socialists going to treat everyone equal under the law? Eliminating the type of affirmative action that moves unqualified people to the front of the line while disadvantaging qualified people. Eliminating special advantages for segments of the population based on race, gender, and other criteria that violates equal protection under the law. This is not about civil rights, this is about political power.
The government has no right to deal in marriage under the constitution. As for the states, all marriages appear to be civil commitments since they require a government-issued license to marry and government-approval to divorce. Change the laws to read civil commitment and remove the word “marriage” from the law. Use ‘”partner” instead of spouse. And, everything will be well with the world. Except that the gays are pushing to legitimize and publicize their lifestyle with this non-issue.
As for someone, like Leahy, who knows the law, to step beyond the boundaries of the Constitution, is unacceptable.
Regardless of whether or not a sex change actually changes your gender (here’s a hint: it doesn’t), if an adult wants to choose to mutilate their genitals and live their life as a member of the opposite sex, then whatever. Go for it. You’re an adult, it’s your decision, I may not agree or understand, but it’s your life and your body. The difference here, however, is that this is a child. A child cannot understand the potential long-term consequences of their actions. A child cannot consent to hormone therapy and understand the health risks they could be taking. A child cannot understand that they are choosing to give up any chance of a normal childhood and adolescence. A child cannot think long-term, they cannot understand consequences of their actions, and therefore cannot make such a huge, life-changing decision as getting a sex change.
This isn’t just an example of poor parenting — it’s parents with an agenda to push, acting it out on their defenseless child who ends up being nothing more than a social experiment to their delusional parents.
Remember, for the leftards, if it feels good do it! (No matter whom you destroy in the process.)

Patients being defined as those treated for any condition under Obamacare?
Without considering the legality and propriety of government-mandated testing, and rather than expanding expensive test programs and more government intrusion into personal lives, doesn’t it make more sense to phase-in any testing program starting with gay males and intravenous drug users who are the primary carriers of the virus. Then expanding the testing to known partners as is done for communicable venereal diseases. Rather than subjecting an entire population to mask the fact that the preponderance of HIV-AIDs resides within these two non-mutually exclusive communities. Or, is this more political correctness to avoid pointing out the obvious: most HIV-AIDS cases are gay men and intravenous drug users. It also makes sense to test all airline personnel and incoming visitors as HIV/AIDS patient zero was a gay airline employee who spread the disease indiscriminately due to his lack of knowledge.
Task Force: All Patients Between Ages Of 15 And 65 Should Be Tested For HIV – New guidelines were released by the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force which assert that all clinical patients between the ages of 15 and 65 should be tested for HIV.
Additionally, the Task Force recommends that all teens and adults who are at risk, as well as pregnant women, should especially be tested for the virus known to cause AIDS.
“While the best way to reduce HIV-related disease and death is to avoid getting infected, screening is also extremely important,” Dr. Douglas K. Owens, a Task Force member, was quoted as saying by Medical News Today. “Nearly a quarter of people with HIV don’t know that they have it, and they’re missing out on a chance to take control of their disease.” He added, “Universal screening will help identify more people with HIV, allowing them to start combined antiretroviral therapy earlier and live healthier and longer lives.”
The new guidelines are notably different from the old ones, which only suggested voluntary testing for at-risk members of the American populace and pregnant women.
They were reportedly created by the Task Force after researchers discovered the positive effects of early diagnosis and proper drug treatments on patients with the virus. An estimated 25 percent of all people with HIV in America are not aware of their status.
“HIV is a critical public health problem and, despite recent medical advances, still a devastating diagnosis for the 50,000 people in the United States who contract HIV each year,” Task Force chair Dr. Virginia Moyer told Medical News Today. “In order to help reduce the suffering of those with HIV and their loved ones, we must continue finding better ways to prevent and treat this disease.” Source: Task Force: All Patients Between Ages Of 15 And 65 Should Be Tested For HIV « CBS DC
This appears to be another example where “guidelines” may turn into unconstitutional “mandatory” action under an oppressive socialist government. Especially if such testing is required before any medical expenses become reimbursable under government programs. One might also ask if certain segments of the government, notably the large gay contingent of the government, would be exempted from the program.

You just knew this was coming. Somebody has to pay for the Creator’s biological negligence and unfairness:
The state of California is reportedly considering legislation that would force group insurance policies to provide infertility treatment for gay and lesbian couples.
Two men who have sex with each other for a year and do not produce a baby would be considered “infertile” under the proposed legislation. So would two women having sex. Since biology does not allow those without a uterus to conceive or those without a penis to impregnate, every year-long gay couple in California would potentially be covered by this new provision of California law.
And two men who have sex with each other for a year and do produce a baby will discover one of them has been lying about being male.
The story sounds ridiculous enough to be true. Here’s how it all came about:
What does the Islamic world and Europe have in common? There are actually many similarities, but one is this: in neither place are Christians allowed to fully express their beliefs without fear of persecution.
As for Eurasia, its Ministry of Truth’s latest handiwork is the arrest and punishment of an American street preacher who dared speak of sin in that land once known as Scotland. The victim is 47-year-old New Yorker Shawn Holes, who was on a UK tour when he was arrested in Glasgow after running afoul of UK hate-speech laws. Writes Pink News:
He said that while preaching, a number of gay couples stopped to listen and asked him about his views, which he said seemed like a “set-up”.
…When asked about his views on homosexuality, Holes said: “Homosexuals are deserving of the wrath of God – and so are all other sinners – and they are going to a place called hell.”
For this Oldspeak transgression, Holes’ arrest was followed by the imposition of a £1,000 fine, which is a harsher penalty than even some Britons who commit violent crimes must endure.
I’ve said much about “hate speech” laws over the years, and I won’t rehash the old arguments except to again point out that all hate-crime law is an attempt at thought control. Instead, I’m going to shed light on another bias relating to this situation and others like it.
At a UK blog called Harry’s place, writer Peter Tatchell defends Holes, saying, “[I]n a democratic, free society it is wrong to prosecute him. Criminalisation is not appropriate.” Yet he also takes pains to polish up his politically correct credentials and writes, “Mr Holes is obviously homophobic and should not be insulting people with his anti-gay tirades. He should be challenged and people should protest against his intolerance.” And this attitude is reflected in the title of Tatchell’s piece: “Freedom of speech must be defended… even for homophobes.”
It’s also echoed in reader comments on the Holes case, where respondents focus on the man’s alleged “homophobia.” But, question: why the fixation on the preacher’s homosexual commentary? Note that what he said was, “Homosexuals are deserving of the wrath of God – and so are all other sinners….” In other words, it doesn’t seem that Holes is nearly as fixated on homosexuality as are his critics. After all, his frame of reference was all sinful behavior — so he is perhaps better described as “sinphobic” (as we all should be) — yet all the “homophiliacs” do is take issue with his condemnation of one particular sin.
Oh, I do understand the situation. Unlike homosexuals, adulterers, fornicators, and apostates aren’t “protected groups” under British law. It’s also true that homosexuality is the one sin Holes mentioned by name. Yet this might only have been because homosexuals were asking him questions about their behavior. What would have been the focus had the preacher been approached by militant adulterers?
But even this isn’t the point. It is rather that there are no militant adulterers to speak of, but there is an organized homosexual movement. And like all leftist causes, it has been very successful at framing the debate.
It works like this: the left takes something, in this case homosexuality, out of the closet and tries to normalize it.
