Minnesota House candidate makes AIDS, 'Gay Agenda' campaign issues | MinnPost

With Michele Bachmann and Bradlee Dean in your corner, who gives a fuck about science. This here is 'merika and truth doesn't matter.

But on a serious note, remember the "15 per cent solution" brought up in a previous posting? Here is a prime example of it at work in Minnesota.
The formula they've concocted has been called the "15 per cent solution" by the Christian Coalition. Even in a well attended presidential election, only 15 per cent of eligible voters determine the outcome,,, "We don't have to worry about convincing a majority of Americans to agree with us," Guy Rodgers, the Christian Coalition's national field director declared at the 1991 Road to Victory conference. Most of them are staying home and watching Falcon Crest."
One candidate is focused on the "real issues of - education, transportation, taxes." Whilst the other has chosen the road of hot button social issues, counting on that all important 15 percent.
Frey says he’s also talking about business and taxes. He says education is a particular passion, developed while working with then-state senator Michele Bachmann to defeat the “profiles in learning” education platform.

But when questioned about his position on social issues, Frey added that it “does certainly need to be addressed for what it is. It’s not about the gay agenda but about the science and the financial impact of that agenda. It’s more about sodomy than about pigeonholing a lifestyle.”

Frey then explained his view: “When you have egg and sperm that meet in conception, there’s an enzyme in the front that burns through the egg. The enzyme burns through so the DNA can enter the egg. If the sperm is deposited anally, it's the enzyme that causes the immune system to fail. That’s why the term is AIDS – acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.”

(This explanation of AIDS has no scientific validity, but it may strike a familiar chord: It is essentially the same one given by Bob's son, Mike Frey, in testimony given before the House Civil Law Committee last year during the debate over gay marriage.)

Of the financial impact, Bob Frey says, “It’s about sodomy. It’s huge amounts of money. AIDS is a long term illness, causing pain, suffering, death, a long-term illness that’s very expensive to treat.”

Children are suffering a severe deficit of play – Peter Gray – Aeon

An interesting take, learning versus playing, ",,,not because their school taught them anything, but because it allowed them to learn whatever they wanted." Similar to my early schooling which loosely followed a Montessori based education paradigm. It is a long article but worth the read if you have school age kids. Definitely something to ponder if your not happy with our current indoc,,,err,,,education system. Comments are worth a look as well,,,

When I was a child in the 1950s, my friends and I had two educations. We had school (which was not the big deal it is today), and we also had what I call a hunter-gather education. We played in mixed-age neighbourhood groups almost every day after school, often until dark. We played all weekend and all summer long. We had time to explore in all sorts of ways, and also time to become bored and figure out how to overcome boredom, time to get into trouble and find our way out of it, time to daydream, time to immerse ourselves in hobbies, and time to read comics and whatever else we wanted to read rather than the books assigned to us. What I learnt in my hunter-gatherer education has been far more valuable to my adult life than what I learnt in school, and I think others in my age group would say the same if they took time to think about it.

For more than 50 years now, we in the United States have been gradually reducing children’s opportunities to play, and the same is true in many other countries. In his book Children at Play: An American History (2007), Howard Chudacoff refers to the first half of the 20th century as the ‘golden age’ of children’s free play. By about 1900, the need for child labour had declined, so children had a good deal of free time. But then, beginning around 1960 or a little before, adults began chipping away at that freedom by increasing the time that children had to spend at schoolwork and, even more significantly, by reducing children’s freedom to play on their own, even when they were out of school and not doing homework. Adult-directed sports for children began to replace ‘pickup’ games; adult-directed classes out of school began to replace hobbies; and parents’ fears led them, ever more, to forbid children from going out to play with other kids, away from home, unsupervised. There are lots of reasons for these changes but the effect, over the decades, has been a continuous and ultimately dramatic decline in children’s opportunities to play and explore in their own chosen ways.

Over the same decades that children’s play has been declining, childhood mental disorders have been increasing. It’s not just that we’re seeing disorders that we overlooked before. Clinical questionnaires aimed at assessing anxiety and depression, for example, have been given in unchanged form to normative groups of schoolchildren in the US ever since the 1950s. Analyses of the results reveal a continuous, essentially linear, increase in anxiety and depression in young people over the decades, such that the rates of what today would be diagnosed as generalised anxiety disorder and major depression are five to eight times what they were in the 1950s. Over the same period, the suicide rate for young people aged 15 to 24 has more than doubled, and that for children under age 15 has quadrupled.

[,,,]
In my book, Free to Learn (2013), I document these changes, and argue that the rise in mental disorders among children is largely the result of the decline in children’s freedom. If we love our children and want them to thrive, we must allow them more time and opportunity to play, not less. Yet policymakers and powerful philanthropists are continuing to push us in the opposite direction — toward more schooling, more testing, more adult direction of children, and less opportunity for free play.

[,,,]
You can’t teach creativity; all you can do is let it blossom. Little children, before they start school, are naturally creative. Our greatest innovators, the ones we call geniuses, are those who somehow retain that childhood capacity, and build on it, right through adulthood.

KUHNER: Christians must oppose Obamacare - Washington Times

Second line, first paragraph. Not a great start to and Op-Ed if the initial premise is false: "The reason is simple and macabre: Obamacare enables U.S. taxpayer funds to pay for abortions for members of Congress and their staff."

Coverage of Abortion Services
Under OPM’s final rule,no Federal funds, including administrative funds, will be used to cover abortions or administer plans that cover abortions.  Unlike the health plans for which OPM contracts pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 8902, 8903 and 8903a, OPM does not administer the terms of the health benefits plans offered on an Exchange. Consequently, while plans with such coverage may be offered on an Exchange, OPM can and will take appropriate administrative steps to ensure that the cost of any such coverage purchased by a Member of Congress or a congressional staffer from a designed SHOP is accounted for and paid by the individual rather than from a government contribution, consistent with the general prohibition on Federal funds being used for this purpose. (p.3, September 30, 2013::Subject: Final Rule for Federal Employees Health Benefits Program,,,) 

"As with much else about the law, Mr. Obama lied. He deliberately deceived the American people."

No Mr. Kuhner YOU are lying. Either that or you can not read. The OPM's ruling (pertinent part quoted above) is that members of Congress and their staffers purchasing health insurance coverage on the new health insurance exchanges would be able to purchase a plan that includes abortion coverage but only with their own personal contribution to premium costs.

The rest is just painful to read,,,

Devout Christians are obligated to oppose Obamacare — including those who champion social justice and universal health care. Christian teaching is crystal clear: The killing of innocent human life is wrong, a heinous transgression of one of God’s most sacred commandments. Abortion is murder; it is state-sanctioned infanticide. Obamacare is ensnaring Christians in its nefarious web, making them culpable in the killing of unborn babies. Their tax dollars will pay for the abortionist’s knife. Unwitting Christians will have the blood of innocent children on their hands.

This should come as no surprise. Progressivism is at war with traditional Christianity. Liberals seek to create a society without God. Their goal is personal liberation — the destruction of the family, Christian culture and all the other social bonds that act as bulwarks against radical individualism. Abortion clinics are liberalism’s Gulag Archipelago, death camps scattered across the landscape. For liberals, abortion is key to erecting a society without sexual consequences. If a pregnancy is unwanted, liquidate the baby. Secular progressives believe that nothing — including innocent human life — must stand in the way of the sexual revolution. It is genocide masquerading as “choice.”

Paul Ryan Once Again Sponsors the Bill That Would Make It Possible for Women's Rapists to Sue Them

More on Paul Ryan and the personhood bill (HR 212, the Sanctity of Human Life Act),,,

In an unsurprising turn of events, Ryan has signed on as cosponsor to the Sanctity of Human Life Act again. The original bill — which declares that life begins with fertilization, and would give states the right to ban all abortion, even in the cases involving incest, rape, or the life of the mother — thankfully died in Congress in 2011.

But now it's baaaaack, which is scary because not only is the above terrifying, there's all sorts of other creepy shit hidden in this monster. Like, if a woman who was raped in a state that banned abortions went to a state that didn't ban abortions and had an abortion? Her rapist could theoretically sue to stop the abortion from happening, and probably win. And it doesn't stop there with the reproductive weirdness, if passed, it'll probably make many forms of IVF illegal.**

Luckily, it's almost for sure gonna die again, but I wonder if Ryan's career will go the way of the dodo bird soon after? The tide is turning, and a majority of voters don't want politicians making women's health choices for them. For everyone's sake, it would be best for Ryan and politicians like him to see this as the death rattle. Pack up your moral indignation and head home, guys, I'm sure there's a pot roast in your kitchen you can mansplain your garbage feelings on women's reproductive rights to.

Paul Ryan Once Again Sponsors the Bill That Would Make It Possible for Women's Rapists to Sue Them

**In fact, if this bill were passed and the Supreme Court upheld it, I'll bet that a rapist could go to court and sue to prevent his victim from getting an abortion. He'd argue that the fetus was legally a human being, and the court has no power to discriminate between one human being and another. He'd probably win, too.

In other abortion news, Stephanie Mencimer reports that the same bill would likely have the effect of making in-vitro fertilization illegal. My Twitter feed is full of outrage that Stephanie would say this, but what else can you conclude about the law? In IVF, multiple embryos are created, and only a few are used.

Christian Group Says Demon Sex Makes You Gay | Alternet

"Can demons engage in sexual behaviors with humans?" the magazine asks. Why yes, they can! At least according to the article's primary source, a former stripper-turned-ministry leader named Contessa Adams. Adams shares her decades-long struggle with demon sex, sparing no horrible, sexy detail:

[,,,]
The primary demon fighter in the modern Christian world is the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR), a global network of Charismatic Christian ministries devoted to Dominionism, the idea that they must take over public institutions in order to save America and the world from ... demons (and gays, of course),,,

Bruce Wilson, who's reported on the movement for years, tells Alternet, "for the apostles and prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation, demon powers, and also divine curses -- incurred by human unfaithfulness to God's plan, are at the root of virtually any and all conceivable misfortunes, from crime trends, drops in the stock market, and declining SAT scores, to headaches and dandruff. I mean that literally."

[,,,]
As Rachel Tabachnik, who's done extensive reporting on NAR,  told NPR,  "The apostles teach what's called 'strategic level spiritual warfare' [because they believe that the] reason why there is sin and corruption and poverty on the Earth is because the Earth is controlled by a hierarchy of demons under the authority of Satan."

[,,,]
Here are just a few places you might encounter Satan's minions,,,

Daily Kos: Men are all unmarriageable slackers now because feminism

So it has gone from partnership to war,,,nothing like changing their tactics mid stream, since they found they couldn't legislate submissiveness,,,and Venker has learned from the best,,,

Venker has talked to lots of men and women over the years, and she's discovered the cold hard truth:

"And in doing so, I’ve accidentally stumbled upon a subculture of men who’ve told me, in no uncertain terms, that they’re never getting married. When I ask them why, the answer is always the same.

"Women aren’t women anymore."

[,,,]
As we learned in feminism indoctrination class back in kindergarten, between coloring and nap time, you are the enemy and we must destroy you so we can take what is rightfully ours—those 25 percent smaller paychecks, for example, or the visits to our doctors that must be pre-approved by woman-hating men in Congress. That's our right, and we have so taken it from you with our feminism and our anger! No wonder you don't want to marry us!

The worst part, of course, is what we've done to you with our feminism and our pedestal-knocking and whatnot. We've destroyed your once-manly manhood, so now you're pretty much worthless to everyone:

[,,,]
It all makes perfect sense now. You're not a loser who lives with his parents, pays for gas with the spare change found on the floor of your car, and doesn't want to have a real job because that's just conforming to The Man. Well, maybe you are, but it's not your fault. It's our fault. We lousy Not-Women, with our careers and our ability to buy groceries on a regular basis—we did this to you.

Ann Coulter At Fordham University: School President Joseph M. McShane Blasts College Republicans For Inviting Her

To err is human, learning is divine,,,and this has nothing to do with free speech,,,

"To say that I am disappointed with the judgment and maturity of the College Republicans, however, would be a tremendous understatement," McShane wrote. "There are many people who can speak to the conservative point of view with integrity and conviction, but Ms. Coulter is not among them. Her rhetoric is often hateful and needlessly provocative—more heat than light—and her message is aimed squarely at the darker side of our nature."

McShane said preventing Coulter from speaking would "counter one wrong with another," and explicitly stated he wouldn't forbid the CRs from having her speak at the Jesuit university. Nevertheless, the Fordham CRs beat him to it anyway and quickly rescinded the invitation to Coulter.

"The College Republicans regret the controversy surrounding our planned lecture featuring Ann Coulter," they wrote in a statement announcing the cancellation. "The size and severity of opposition to this event have caught us by surprise and caused us to question our decision to welcome her to Rose Hill."

[,,,]
"Allow me to give credit where it is due: the leadership of the College Republicans acted quickly, took responsibility for their decisions and expressed their regrets sincerely and eloquently," McShane said. "Most gratifying, I believe, is that they framed their decision in light of Fordham’s mission and values. There can be no finer testament to the value of a Fordham education and the caliber of our stude

Gays 'should die': A timeline of the Salvation Army's anti-gay flare-ups - The Week

The primary reason I do not support any efforts by the salvation army,,,in mid 90s when I was first dx'd with bipolar and unable to work, I requested needed help and was denied solely because I was living with my partner at the time,,,altho this specific rhetoric was not the stated reason, the fact I was gay was,,,

And recently, Maj. Andrew Craibe, the media relations officer for Australia's southern territory, reminded us of that fact by agreeing on-air with two gay radio hosts that the Salvation Army believes gay people "should die." The group quickly scrambled to clarify Craibe's remark — after all, the Salvation Army's mission is to "preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination" — but this is hardly the Salvation Army's first run-in with the gay community. Here, a look at the influential charity's challenging history with homosexuality and gay rights,,,

Tea Party And Conservatives Are Declaring War On America After Obama Win | The New Civil Rights Movement

Claiming the Obama campaign’s narrative “worked with brutal efficiency—the definition of winning ugly,” (apparently, the Wall Street Journal editorial board believe the lies mitt Romney told day after day after day), they announced their contempt for the non-white vote:

Mr. Obama was able to patch together just enough of these voting groups,” “single women, the young and culturally liberal, government and other unions workers, and especially minority voters,” as the WSJ defines them, “to prevail even as he lost independents and won only 40% of the overall white vote, according to the exit polls.”

Because of course, the “overall white vote,” as Politico suggested too, is the “gold standard” of votes.

Because the non-white vote is only three-fifths of a vote, perhaps?

We should start reminding the disloyal opposition, aka the GOP, the Tea Party, and conservatives, that 150 years ago, America fought the Civil War. And America won.

From a personal perspective this will be war and yes it has just begun,,,from what some of my friends have been bombarding me with the bigotry and hatred is amping up and getting out of control,,,

No Olympic Horse

This is my response to a friend of mine who posted on my facebook wall her concern regarding RobmeRyan and health care ("Romney Health Care Plan May Come With Consequences For You" www.huffingtonpost.com),  "With these 2 in office I will loose most of my coverage, I couldn't afford my meds, just to stay alive."
<Saying this with much acid dripping sarcasm I can muster> Well miss, we have a plan for that, it's called the ER.  You see now little lady, an amblance will come pick ya up when you is not feelin well.  It will plop ya into the nearest hospital.  Where the fine, scientifically uneducated doctors, (who went to the Akin's school of medicine BTW) will bring your little ole fever down so you can return home and subserviently cater to your husband's every need.  All the while pooping out young spiritual warriors for our grand cause!!

And BTW, unlike Mrs. Robme,  my friend can not afford an Olympic horse for therapy for her MS!!

In 2008, Akin Claimed Women 'Who Are Not Actually Pregnant' Get Abortions | ThinkProgress

The highlighted quote starts at about 1:48,,,

This guy is a dolt, plain and simple how in the world did he ever get elected in the first place??  And if he is re-elected we have no one to blame but ourselves.  For the record its not that he is "pro-life" but the fact that he is a stupid fucking idiot, this man should not be making any policies where women's health is concerned.

In 2008, Akin Claimed Women 'Who Are Not Actually Pregnant' Get Abortions | ThinkProgress

And then later, this came out:   Todd Akin stands by 2008 comment: Non-pregnant women are receiving abortions

He is delusional,,,
“There’s ample evidence that abortion doctors on any number of occasions have deceived women into thinking that they’re pregnant, and then collect money for a procedure that they don’t perform,” Rick Tyler, a spokesperson for Akin’s campaign, told BuzzFeed. “And I say they don’t perform it because obviously the women weren’t pregnant.”
First problem, this is not about medical fraud or insurance fraud, Akin states, ",,,giving abortions to women who are not actually pregnant,,,"

Second problem, citing a 1978 article??  Dude it's not being reported because it is not likely not occurring:  one abortion clinic,,,Chicago,,, 1978 (5 years after Roe v Wade).
According to Akin, it's still happening, frequently, "Tyler cited a Chicago Sun-Times article from 1978 that found,,,"
Third problem, doesn't have a shred of evidence to support his claim:
"He said there were no more recent examples because the media had stopped reporting on it."
Well let's see, given your position and your concern over this issue since 2008 why the hell haven't you investigated this issue yourself then?  WTF,,,

What is even scarier, Akin is on the Senate science committee.

This article highlights some of what I was concerned about:   Why Does Todd Akin Believe That Women Who Aren't Pregnant Get Abortions?

My question, cant they find new ideas that aren't 30+ years old??  Oh wait, duh me, their science and morality is based on a book that's 2000+ years old.  At least they're consistent.

Gov. Brown unintentionally continues sexual abuse of children, says ‘gay cure’ advocate | The Raw Story

"We do competent therapy, therapy that truly works,” Pickup insisted. “And for the governor to sign into law that continues the potential — unintentionally — continues the sexual abuse and the heartache of these children who walked into my
office who are crying, depressed, lonely, gender-identity confused, and sexually confused, for them to have a bill that says, ‘No, we can’t even talk about these issues, we can’t do anything to help these children resolve  their homosexual feelings and maximize their heterosexual potential’ — that’s the height of political and therapeutic irresponsibility.”

Gender Identity confusion?? Sorry, nothing to do with being gay,,,and personally it shouldn't even be classified (GID) as recent research is now showing structural differences within the brain of transgendered people,,,second, gender identity in children has more to do with sex-role stereotypes which are beliefs (ie. boys wear blue/girls wear pink,,,boys learn sports and cars/girls to sew and be happy homemaker),,,these alleged "norms" are influenced by family and friends, the mass-media, community and other socializing agents,,,since many cultures strongly disapprove of cross-gender behavior, it often results in significant problems for affected,,,

Repartive therapy,,,dude your own people are abandoning that principle as Spitzer has recanted his 2001 study and Nicolosi's work (1991) has largely been discredited,,,even Exodus International is changing their tune,,,

The fact that NARTH is funded by NOM and FRC should raise a huge red flag as both are religious organization that propagate the anti-gay bullshit and hate,,,

Dr Pepper's Evolution Ad Strikes A Nerve With Some Christians : The Salt : NPR

 Originally I wasn't going to post this as it just at first appeared as a blip,,,my initial reaction, "get over it",,,but I now have 13 articles concerning this saved,,,,my wonderment is focused on one simple thing,,,why are they so threatened by a freakin soda ad??

",,,since creationists don't believe they evolved from Apes-- then the Ad should mean NOTHING to them. Thus, no Outrage."

I find it fascinating that the sheeples can have one's faith weakened by a simple marketing ploy,,,IMHO it is a sign of not completely understanding that which they so blindly follow [and I'm not just talking religion],,,as Socrates says, "The unexamined life is not worth living."

Energy drinks improve heart function: study

Keywords,,,healthy individuals at rest,,,168 ml,,,need to focus on whether such benefits persist after long term consumption of energy drinks, and what the effects are of consuming these drinks during physical activity,,,ya think!!

"In recent years the energy drink market has exploded, with more people than ever before turning to these products as quick 'pick me ups', whether to stay awake during all night study vigils or gain the edge in sport," said Dr Cameli. "With energy drinks containing both caffeine and taurine concerns have been raised of adverse effects on the heart. While caffeine increases blood pressure, studies suggest that taurine may stimulate the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum."

[,,,]
"Taken together these results show that energy drinks enhance contractions of both the left and right ventricles, thereby delivering a positive effect on myocardial function," said Dr Cameli. "This could be explained by the inotropic effect of taurine that, as previously demonstrated, stimulates the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum." He continued: "Our study was performed in young healthy individuals at rest. Future studies need to focus on whether such benefits persist after long term consumption of energy drinks, and what the effects are of consuming these drinks during physical activity. It will also be important to determine which of the effects are induced in patients with cardiac disease to further our understanding of the potential benefits or risks of energy drink consumption."

Attorney General Lisa Madigan Asked If She Can Handle Motherhood & Demanding Job At The Same Time | ThinkProgress

Not sure if laughing at this is appropriate,,,but WTF??  You can't be serious,,,

Working a demanding job? And being a parent? How could Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan possibly handle them both?

This was a question from the Chicago Sun-Times who were pressing Madigan about a possible gubernatorial run in 2014 against Governor Pat Quinn. She and her husband, Pat Byrnes, have two children ages four and seven; she was asked if she could both be governor and raise her kids the way she wants to. “Wow. Does anybody ever ask that question?” Madigan replied.

For their next big exposé the Sun-Times will uncover how Madigan manages to do the grocery shopping and the laundry, all while making sure her husband has his slippers the moment he gets home from a hard day at the office! Stay tuned.
