Republican Candidate for Governor of Minnesota Has Ties With Homophobic Hate Rock Group.

http://minnesotaindependent.com/59386/emmer-on-anti-gay-hard-rock-ministry-these-are-nice-people Best Buy, and Target, are in hot water after it was revealed that they made contributions to a candidate whom then gave money to an extremist supposedly Christian rock band Now Target recently apologised for this misguided action; but it just goes to show how extreme certain mainstream politicians have become. And if this were a black meatal band that had lyrics that encouraged the killing of Christians, and some Democratic candidate was discovered to have supported them, I wonder if this person would be able to get away with saying that they are simply exercising there freedom of speech. I think not. Already you have Marilyn Manson being blamed for various school shootings, rightly or not. I wonder therefore if alledged GLBT students were to be attacked after listening to the so called music of this band would the band get blamed for it's incendiary rhetoric? Oh yeah, dominionism is simply all about changing hearts; don't make me laugh. This is just further proof that radical Islamists and dominionists are kindred spirits.

Tyranical Pastor Oppressively Beats Alledged Sexual Abuse Victim. http://www.talk2action.org/story/2006/5/12/16189/4426

http://www.talk2action.org/story/2006/5/12/16189/4426 Now this is particularly outrageously oppressive. And it also illustrates the lack of due process concerning corporal punishment. It's all at the discretion of the clerical/parental authority. I think that probally Singapore has more propper procedere in administering canings than this so called church group does. And Singapore is an authoritarian, right-wing, predominantly Muslim, country. I feel that youth that are suffering under such an abusive situation should rebel. If there is ever a right to revolt; this is the time for it. Minors, and/or other people under the yoke of such religious based oppression should fight back with all due force. Trust me when I tell you this; these unjust authority figures are essentially a bunch of bullies. All it takes is for a determined group of people to stand up to them, and resist them, in order for them to back off.

Woman Attacks Her Autistic Children With Deadly Force.

http://home.myhughesnet.com/news/read.php?ps=1018&rip_id=%3CD9H3PCDO0%40news.ap.org%3E&_LT=HOME_LARSDCCLM_UNEWS This is yet another instance of intolerance of neuro-diversity. Certain ignorant people tend to think of autists as being less than human; because a number of us seem to them to be in our own world. Now I have charecteristics of Asperger syndrome; so I'm what's known as high functioning. Therefore it's not as apparant that I'm even on the autistic spectrum. I'm not really what one thinks of when they think of autism. But I feel that all indivisuals should have the right to live, and be treated with dignity, no matter there level of functioning. We all have something unique to offer the world, if given the chance. Now these two young children will never get the chance to live, love, and pursue happiness; all because of there mother's shallow selfishness. She felt that she should have the power of life and death over them; and that her life was more important than there's.

Neo-Nazi Takes Matters Into His Own Hands.

http://www.statesman.com/news/nation/man-with-neo-nazi-ties-leading-border-patrols-808820.html This sort of thing is what can happen; when the rule of law breaks down, and armed mobs of people take charge. Ethnic paramilitary forces clash, in the abscence of a central authority. And here people say that anarchism would bring chaos. I feel that until anarchy does come into being, and autonomous communities are set up, there should be an armed federal force enabled, and authorised, to combat criminal gangs. The military is already being used to suppress the activities of insurgents abroad. So why not utilise them to restore order at home as well? The only reason is the "Posse Commitatis" act; which was enacted after the Civil War in order to end the military occupation of the south. But predictabley enough, in the abscence of the federal blue coats, groups like the Ku Klux Klan gained a stronghold. But certain other countries have gendarmes; and I feel that the U.S.A. should seriously consider having them as well.

Dominionists React Against Planned Islamic Community Center.

http://kasamaproject.org/2010/07/13/confronting-anti-muslim-bigotry-in-tennessee/ So much for religious tolerance, and freedom. And I think that we all could imagine how they'd react if we were to be suspicious of any of there churches. They'd claim that it would be another example of supposed liberal intolerance. Well, I am fed up with the hypocrisy of the Christian Reconstructionist right. They complain about not allowed to disturb bystanders of an Arab festival, by passing out literature; but then try to interfere with the construction of a place of worship, and fellowship. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smw9QuH1xkA So I am of the opinion that we on the left should not even care if we are viewed as being bigotted. We stand for justice, and democracy; and should therefore be intolerant of the enemies of freedom.

Pres. Obama Offends Jonas Brothers.

http://www.nbcwashington.com/around-town/events/Obama-Vs-The-Jonas-Brothers-92661779.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWKG6ZmgAX4 Now can you imagine what would happen if the racial roles were reversed? If it were a white President talking about a black male singing group? Might the President have something against interracial relationships? If so I'd find it to be ironic, as he himself is the product of such a union. From what I've heard about them, the Jonas Brothers are good, Christian, guys. So I do not think that they'd try to take advantage of the Obama girls. See, that's the biggest problem with the President's remarks. He did not specify what he meant about ideas. Did he mean not to get any ideas about seducing his daughters? Probably. Did he mean not to get any ideas about dating his daughters? Possibly. We just can not know what exactly he was getting at, by his remarks. Either way, I feel that it was embarrassing for them to have to hear the President refer to them in this manner.

Grand Valley Elementary Teacher Unconstitutionaly Searches Second Grader

I found out today that my foster brother/first cousin, Joey, got written up over an incident involving a trading card. A first grader gave him a Yu Gi Oh Machina Force card. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Machina So Joe put it in his pocket, for the time being. Well somehow, his teacher got wind that he had something in his pocket, and asked him about it. He replied that he had nothing in his pocket. So in addition to getting into trouble for possession of illicit contraband, as trading cards have reportedly been banned on school grounds, following some knife attacks over Pokemon cards http://lacrossetribune.com/news/local/article_d2f8391a-c059-11de-9457-001cc4c03286.html http://www.theescapist.com/pokemon4.htm http://www.thelocal.se/22018/20090911/, he was also cited for lying about it. I have two points to make about this. 1. This in my estimation constituted an illegal search, under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment04/ So unless she had permission from the principle to look for specific items, like a weapon, or drugs, she had no business looking at what he had in his pocket, as it was a paper which was on his person at the time. 2. By the same rational, since people fight over money, and it is said that the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil, all currency should be unlawful to exchange as well. Then we'd all be living in an anarcho-communist society. So why is it that adults don't appear to think that the same rules which apply to minors, should also apply to them, and vice versa? School children should not have to give up there civil rights upon entering the schoolhouse doors. And members of the student body should not be faulted for victimless offenses, in accordance with the "harm principle". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harm_principle
