Most people don’t who in the world Obama nominated for the Supreme Court! Most folks haven’t put it together that she was Dean of Law at Harvard University where she expelled military recruiters and ROTC from campus. Starting to come back? Here is a short clip of the craziness about to unfold during the hearing process.
She, “look[s] forward to the time when a more leftist left comes to the fore.” If that didn’t scare you get a load of this clip!

There’s a simmering civil war in my house on Tuesday nights. First off, I’m so disgusted with the lack of talent on American Idol that I can’t stand watching it anymore. But, my partner John still enjoys it so FOX is on Tuesdays. But the battle lines have now been drawn at 9:00PM. All over a little show you may have heard about: Glee.
Yes, we enjoy musicals and stage productions; but let’s not be too stereotypical, shall we? In fact, I was a late bloomer to Glee. John loved it from the beginning and got me to tune in by convincing me it was the next best thing to sliced bread. For a while, I agreed with him and thoroughly enjoyed watching the show. I especially enjoyed the music. Producer Ryan Murphy is a fellow Gen-Xer and you definitely know it from the 80s-inspired songs he has used to form the basis of much of Glee’s musical foundation.
“The city of Chicago plans to open a “gay-friendly” public high school, the Pride Campus of the existing Lawndale Little Village High School for Social Justice. Officials hope the Pride Campus will welcome 600 students when it opens in 2010.”
“Chicago Public Schools Chief Arne Duncan says he hopes about half of Pride Campus students will be homosexual, and half will be heterosexual. It is difficult to imagine how Duncan might achieve that vision, since by federal law school officials may not ask students about their sexual orientation.”
There the liberals go again! Twisting and turning the system, using the principles which they fought against to create special circumstances for those they feel deserve them. The Warren Court’s unanimous (9-0) decision in May of 1954 stated that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”
“Opponents of the Pride Campus question the use of public funds to create a school themed on sexual orientation. “Why is the answer to bullying a return to separate but equal?” asked Andrew Breitbart, founder of the news site Breitbart.com. Breitbart called attention to the broader issue of “social justice” teaching in public schools. The School for Social Justice, which will be connected administratively to the Pride Campus, opened in 2005.
” You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men’s initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

McDonald’s has recently decided to join the National Gay AND Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.
Let’s think about this a moment. . . McDonald’s, a business that invented the kid friendly meal has now thrown their support behind a group that will reduce the McDonald’s overall revenue. The Happy Meal which is the identifier for this fast food chain is targeted at kids and working parents. Gay AND Lesbian individuals do not fit in either of the groups. By choosing to elevate the issue of sexuality this business has now turned their back on their biggest customers- kids.
