Not long ago I came across the enclosed book, Stage of Fools, in the course of sorting through my innumerable piles of books. As you can see, I had read it over forty-seven years ago. Naturally, I sat down and reread it! Read more here...

Thinking about friends and history...
What a joy it is to have a friend of the heart. One of mine, Joe Wall, a dear fellow rescuer, lives in a suburb of Philadelphia. Every now and then I go to my mailbox and find a letter or package from him that is always filled with something unexpected and special. Today it was a book, a work of historical fiction on St. Thomas More. It's an old and obviously well-loved paperback from Image Press. In the back is Joe's name and the date, January 1963, when he first read it. In his accompanying letter, Joe writes:

Coerced Abortion: One Teen's Story
Many women tell of being coerced into abortion. They don't want it but find no support. With a boyfriend insisting on an abortion and friends telling them it's the sensible answer they go to the abortion mill expecting to get real counseling. Instead the "counselor" who is actually an abortion marketer convinces the girl that abortion is the only reasonable option. So the young woman suppresses her feelings that it's not right (How can all those people be wrong?) and goes through with it.
Read one teen's experience of coercion and the aftermath. Her name could be Everygirl!

Disney "Gay" Day is June 4th:
Send your message to Disney officials urging them to host this event after hours so families don't have their children exposed to same sex scandalous behavior like bizarre cross dressing. Go here to send your email. I suggest you alter the subject line and personalize the message. It makes the project much more effective than a generalized form email. Go here to send an email.
Planned Parenthood on the Move in their Pink Bus
I actually saw the Planned Parenthood pink bus on Interstate 81 yesterday evening about 5:00 p.m. near Mt. Jackson, VA heading north. Note the last "fact" on the bus: 830,000 breast exams. What a lie! We all know now, thanks to Live Action, that Planned Parenthood doesn't have any mammogram machines and that some clinics don't even have a doctor on site. They give out the morning after pill via a doctor on a computer who never meets the client in real life. Doesn't that give new meaning to the expression, "a decision between a woman and 'her' doctor? Of course, in many places you can get Plan B at the pharmacy without a prescription. Once more women are the guinea pigs of the pharmaceutical companies making drugs with no other purpose than killing babies. One of the ways MAP works is by preventing implantation. If a woman takes MAP after ovulating (sperm reaches the fallopian tubes within minutes after sexual intercourse) it will operate as an abortifacient because once fertilization takes place it's too late to prevent pregnancy!
Help defund Planned Parenthood whose only real purpose is to kill babies in the womb, give out birth control to plan NOT to have babies, and teach kids how to fornicate without getting that "disease" called a baby. The pretense that they are doing anything positive for "reproductive health" is a myth. There is nothing about Planned Parenthood that encourages virtue, self respect, or respect for life. PP is all about hedonism and selfishness...oh, and eliminating "human weeds."

Gotta love that pro-life flash mob! Honoring Joe Scheidler aka Luke Skywalker!
Apparently when the kids heard that the pro-aborts were going to picket the dinner honoring Joe Scheidler, the Chicago pro-life flash mob decided to strike again. Blaring Star Wars music and carrying their signature yellow balloons blazoned with "LIFE" about 100 young people showed up to cheer and spread out the red carpet for Joe. They put the meager pro-abort crowd to shame as well as stealing their negative thunder and transforming it into a passionate parade of LIFE! Which group would you rather be with? The descendents of the ruthless King Edward who killed all in his path or the modern day Bravehearts! Thank you, Lord, for these survivors of our abortion culture whose love for life is so contagious. See the complete story here...

Laugh of the Day: Four More Years of Obama?
I'm still rolling on the floor laughing. Whoever wrote this ad for the NRSC is brilliant! Not only that, but it's a tactic from the community organizer's bag of tricks: ridicule your opponent. There is sure plenty to ridicule in Obama's first two years in office. Pass this one around.
Brainwashing in the schools about to get worse!
California is one of the biggest textbook purchaser in the nation, so as California goes so goes American schools. And California is about to pass another brainwashing bill to indoctrinate kids in homosexuality. Here's the text of CALIFORNIA -- Bill SB48 [My comments in red]:
SECTION 1. Section 51204.5 of the Education Code is amended to read:
51204.5. Instruction in social sciences shall include the early history of California and a study of the role and contributions of both men and women, Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, European Americans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans, persons with disabilities, and members of other ethnic and cultural groups, to the economic, political, and social development of California and the United States of America, with particular emphasis on portraying the role of these groups in contemporary society. [Wow! This made me laugh. At least they included "European Americans" among all the other groups. Although those wicked spaniards in California didn't do anything by persecute, maim, and exploit -- just ask the politically correct "historians."]
SEC. 2. Section 51500 of the Education Code is amended to read:
51500. A teacher shall not give instruction and a school district shall not sponsor any activity that promotes a discriminatory bias on the basis of race or ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, nationality, sexual orientation, or because of a characteristic listed in Section 220. [So the after school Bible club can't discuss any passages that may disparage sodomy since it is a protected activity.]
SEC. 3. Section 51501 of the Education Code is amended to read:
51501. The state board and any governing board shall not adopt any textbooks or other instructional materials for use in the public schools that contain any matter reflecting adversely upon persons on the basis of race or ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, nationality, sexual orientation, or because of a characteristic listed in Section 220. [Sooo any textbook that describes the traditional family as the building block of society has to go. Any photos of "family" can't exclusively show a man and a woman, but must show all the variations. Word problems in Math books can't use language that addresses Mom and Dad making a family budget. This is where the brainwashing becomes completely systemic.]
SEC. 4. Section 60040 of the Education Code is amended to read:
60040. When adopting instructional materials for use in the schools, governing boards shall include only instructional materials which, in their determination, accurately portray the cultural and racial diversity of our society, including:
(a) The contributions of both men and women in all types of roles, including professional, vocational, and executive roles.
(b) The role and contributions of Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, European Americans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans, persons with disabilities, and members of other ethnic and cultural groups to the total development of California and the United States. [History textbooks have already been skewed by this nonsense by introducing obscure politically correct characters and dropping Patrick Henry, Nathan Hale, etc. to make room for them.]
(c) The role and contributions of the entrepreneur and labor in the total development of California and the United States.
SEC. 5. Section 60044 of the Education Code is amended to read:
60044. A governing board shall not adopt any instructional materials for use in the schools that, in its determination, contain :
(a) Any matter reflecting adversely upon persons on the basis of race or ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, nationality, sexual orientation, occupation, or because of a characteristic listed in Section 220. [In other words, in discussing current events, the teacher may not have an open discussion on contentious issues like gay marriage without advancing the "gays'" politically correct position. To discuss the opposition would be "reflecting adversely" on the LGBT crowd. This is tyranny plain and simple.]
(b) Any sectarian or denominational doctrine or propaganda contrary to law.
SEC. 6. It is the intent of the Legislature that alternative and charter schools take notice of the provisions of this act in light of Section 235 of the Education Code, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or other specified characteristics in any aspect of the operation of alternative and charter schools.
