The Outrage that is not broadcast

Some claim that the statements of a biased media are because we are so conservative. Well, then two questions. First, why has the sex-scandal of a Duke Administrator not garnered the attention that the accusations against Lacrosse players did?
Here is the story http://newsbusters.org/blogs/zoe-ortiz/2009/06/29/gay-duke-u-official-attempts-sell-black-5-year-old-son-sex-msm-out-lunch
The fishy things are extremeley fishy. First, the failure of the AP to state that the administrator in question is a homosexual is odd because of their general support of idenity politics. Along the same lines, the failure to mention the adopted child is black really cuts to the heart of things. This will be about the first time race is not brought up in such a case.
While this is a truly disturbing case, it needs to be sounded. All the more so because currently people are being told that such cases don't exist.
The long standing claim of the pro-homosexual lobby is that most child molestors are heterosexual men. Besides the fact that this is a disputable fact since a very high percentage of child molestation is done by people of the same gender, the question is not the percentage of child molestors who are homosexual but the percentage of homosexuals that are child molestors. However, at core there are competing definitions of terms being thrown around, with one group using terms to describe alleged psycho-cultural status and another using terms to describe actions.
It is this disconnect that leads to the vilification of the Boy Scouts by the left. The terms and conditions the boy scouts use are not given in terms leftists understand, which causes them to make false conclusions and accusations of hate based on false assumptions.

A war on public religiosity

The "Freedom from Religion" group has now opened war on Warren, Michigan. This is because Warren applies the same policies to religious as to non-religious groups using city space.
Here is the article

This is the type of open religiosity this country needs. Whether one thinks prayer is private, does not give one the right to force others to pray in private. This is an outrage and I hope Warren stands up to this anti-Christian persecution.

Michigan and Hawai'i

Prior to today I had often described Michigan as "As far from the islands as you can get". However today I gained a new persepctive. This was from attending a YSA Conference in Kalamazoo. We had breakout workshops in the morning.
I went to two of them, in both of them our main presenter was a native Hawai'ian married to a Ha'ole. The most surprising was Sister Szekely, since she is I think the first female I have met in such a situation. At least in my memory it seems like every mixed marriage I have known involving Polynisians involved a Polynesian husband.
Still my favorate was Lambert Hyrum, mainly because of his first name. Oh, and Peter if you are reading this, Brother Hyrum's son is in your ward, but he needs some people to go fellowship him to get him to come out to church. He lives in Mason I think.

Religious freedom under attack

Dearborn is acting like it is in Suadi Arabia and not in the United States of America. The city of Dearborn is trying to restrict a Christian ministry group from handing out literature during the city's Arab festival. This is an outrage.
City's can not restrict the distribution of literature at events they sponsor. It is an open public forum, and trying to convert Muslims to Christianity is legal in the United States. Stop the oppression.

Swine flu deaths

There have now been over 90 deaths from swine flu in the United States. 8 of them have been in Utah, which puts it in the top five states for numbers of deaths. More people have died of swine flu in Utah than in California. I have no idea why this is, and think it is probably just a statistical anomally.

Religious education

Some people say that the LDS Church should follow the example of the Catholic Church in offering education. I say "no way". Here is why.

I should not that NOW is a strong supporter of same-gender marriage. On the other hand Catholic Bishops were if anything more vocal in opposition to same-gender marriage than Latter-day Saint leaders in California. The Catholics have a major problem of disconnect between the teachings of the Church and the beliefs of the members. If this is what Catholic education has come to mean, I see no reason why the LDS Church should try to find a place in it.

The hate crimes bill is still threatening

Here is an article on Eric Holder's proposterous manipulation of events to support the hate crimes bill. http://catholicleague.org/release.php?id=1632.
Are either of these murderers going to get off? No. Is there anyone who can be assused as an accesory? No. The bill is supported by lies.
We need to see the hate crimes bill stopped.
