A new campaign by the Girl Scouts, with the help of Planned Parenthood, is offering girls ages 10 to 14 the inside details on how to be "hot."
This week, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts held a no-adults-welcome panel at the United Nations in which Planned Parenthood distributed a brochure entitled "Healthy, Happy and Hot."
The distribution happened at the annual United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, which featured events for the "Girl Scouts and Girl Guides." In the United States, the organization is called Girl Scouts of the USA and promotes the traditional promise of "On my honor, I will try to serve God and my country, to help people at all times, and to live by the Girl Scout Law."
The organization, however, effectively has eliminated "God" from the equation by providing that, "The word 'God' can be interpreted in a number of ways, depending on one's spiritual beliefs. When reciting the Girl Scout Promise, it is acceptable to replace the word 'God' with whatever word your spiritual beliefs dictate."
Understand Planned Parenthood's agenda. Get "Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom"
The brochure targets young people and contains graphic details on sex. It also encourages casual sex in many forms.

Revelations from Rep. King hearing - from ACT! for America

Friday’s email from Lisa Piraneo provided us a disturbing look into how some members of the House Homeland Security Committee view reformist Muslims like Dr. Zuhdi Jasser. Their condescension bordering on contempt was stunning.

Perhaps just as disturbing was how many of the Muslims who attended the hearing reacted. As Lisa noted, they didn’t try very hard to conceal their ridicule and even contempt for these Muslims witnesses who had the courage to speak out against the radicalization going on in America.

One of those witnesses was Melvin Bledsoe, whose son is charged with shooting and killing a member of our armed forces at a recruiting station in Arkansas.

Mr. Bledsoe’s statement is re-printed below (highlights added). Take special note of the role he claims a Nashville mosque and its imam played. This is precisely what Brigitte Gabriel has been talking about for years, and addressed in her two best-selling books, Because They Hate and They Must Be Stopped—the growing advocacy of radical Islam inside many of America’s mosques.

Statement by Melvin Bledsoe

Father of Carlos Leon Bledsoe (aka) Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad

“The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community and that Community’s Response”

Committee on Homeland Security

US House of Representatives, Washington DC, March 10, 2011

Thank you very much for allowing me to come here and tell the country what happened to my son. This hearing today is extremely important to begin the discussion about the issue of Islamic radicalization in America and my hope is that this Committee can somehow address this issue in a meaningful, productive way.

First, I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the family of Private William Long, and to the wounded soldier, Quinton Ezeagwula. I would like to talk about those complicit in Private Long’s murder – the Islamic radicals who programmed and trained my son Carlos to kill.

I want to tell the American people and the world what happened to my son. We sent him off to college at Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee in the fall of 2003. Our dreams about his future ended up in a nightmare.

Carlos is my only son. He grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. My wife and I operate a tour company in Memphis, Tennessee and Carlos started helping out with the family business at the age of eight. He loved talking to the traveling public; and he had a lot of fun interacting with the customers.

After graduating from high school, he wanted to get a degree in Business Administration. We thought perhaps he would come back to Memphis to run the business and give my wife and me early retirement.

After the fall of 2005 – his sophomore fall in Nashville –Carlos came home that Christmas for the holidays.

We were sitting around in the family room, Carlos’s only sister, Monica, her husband and I, having a normal conversation about life in general. But at a certain point, Carlos and his brother-in-law Terrell got into a heated conversation about the Muslim religion. Then and later, we felt like Carlos’s personality changed when we spoke about Islam. We thought maybe he had some Muslim friends in college and was offended by our comments.

The next time Carlos came home, we saw another side of him that we hadn't seen before. During the night, he took down all the pictures from the walls in the bedroom where he slept. He even took Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. picture off the wall. We asked Carlos: "What is going on with you?”

He replied that he is now a new convert to Islam and that everything he does from now on will be to honor Allah. We got very concerned: While he was growing up, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s picture had always hung on his bedroom wall; but now treated the picture as if Dr. King was nobody to him.

We asked Carlos not to take Dr. King's picture off the wall, but he took it off the wall anyway. This became a big concern to us. We went to visit him in Nashville because we wanted to learn more about what was really going on with Carlos.

We discovered that Carlos had dropped out of school, at the beginning of the 2005 fall semester. He was working a temporary job. He had gotten a dog while in college, and now we found out that he had turned the dog loose in the woods because he was told that Muslims consider dogs dirty creatures. I really couldn't understand how he could do that, because Carlos grew up with a dog in the house since he was five years old.

So my wife and I thought that there something or someone was getting in his head and changing the way he thinks. It had gotten to the point where he had no interest in coming home, even for the holidays.

All of this was part of brainwashing him, and changing his thinking a little bit at a time. He had a job in Nashville, together with some Muslims, who would tell him that according to Islamic law, his employer had to let him pray at certain times of the day, regardless of what was going on at the job. As a business owner, I told Carlos that it would be very difficult for an employer to do this for all of his employees.

As the next step on his process of radicalization, Carlos was convinced to change his name. He chose the name Abdulhakim Muhammad. At this point, his culture was no longer important to him, only the Islamic culture mattered.

Some Muslim leaders had taken advantage of my son. But he’s not the only one being taken advantage of: this is going on in Nashville and in many other cities in America.

In Nashville, Carlos was captured by people best described as hunters. He was manipulated and lied to. That’s how he made his way to Yemen. Carlos was hoping to go there for a chance to cross over to Saudi Arabia and visit Mecca, as he was taught all true Muslims must do at one time in their life. He was taught that he would get to walk on the ground where Prophet Muhammad walked be able to travel around the area. But these hunters had other plans for him. They set him up, telling him that he could teach English at a British School in Aden in South Yemen, This school turned out to be a front and Carlos ended up in a training camp run by terrorists.

Carlos’s joining in with Yemeni extremists was facilitated by their American counterparts in Nashville. We have since discovered that the former Imam of a Nashville mosque, the Al Farooq Mosque, wrote the recommendation letter Carlos needed for the school in Yemen. We also discovered that the school functions as an intake front for radicalizing and training Westerners for Jihad.

From what I understand, the FBI had been following Carlos since before he left Nashville and continued to do so after he came back from Yemen. When Carlos was arrested for overstaying his visa in October of 2008, he was interviewed by an FBI agent based in Nashville even before the U.S. Embassy was alerted about the arrest. According to the Embassy, the FBI was alarmed about what they learned from Carlos.

We wish they could have told us - his family – about what they learned. If we knew how serious his extremism had become, we could have put in every effort to prevent the tragedy in Arkansas from happening.

When my son was arrested in Yemen, my family cried out for help in bringing our son back to America from our Government. We got in touch with the U.S. Embassy and the State Department. We also asked for help from our U.S. Representative, Steve Cohen’s office, and from FBI Special Agent Greg Thomason, who had been tracking my son since Nashville.

After our son was finally released and brought home to us. No one said anything to us about what might have happened to him in Yemen or what they may have learned that so alarmed the FBI agent who interrogated Carlos while he was in the custody of Yemen’s Political Security Organization.

Carlos’s experience in Yemeni political jail was the final stage of his radicalization. He was in there with true evil-doers – hard-core Al Qaeda members who convinced him to get revenge on America.

Something is wrong with the Muslim leadership in Nashville. What happened to Carlos at those Nashville mosques isn’t normal. I have other family members who are Muslims, and they are modern, peaceful, law abiding people, who have been Muslim for many years and are not radicalized.

I also have several uncles and brothers in the military. Our family has fought for the United States in every war since the Civil War. I have nephews who are currently in Afghanistan, as I speak, fighting for democracy and freedom for all Americans.

It seems to me that the American people are sitting around and doing nothing about Islamic extremism, as if Carlos’s story and the other stories told at these hearings aren’t true. There is a big elephant in the room, but our society continues not to see it.

This wrong is caused by political correctness. You can even call it political fear - yes, fear. Fear of stepping on a special minority population’s toes, even as a segment of that population wants to stamp out America and everything we stand for.

I must say that we are losing American babies – our children are in danger. This country must stand up and do something about this problem. Yes, it’s my son’s tragic story you’re hearing about today, but tomorrow it could be your son or your daughter. It might be an African-American child that they went after in Nashville, but tomorrow their victim might have blonde hair and blue eyes. One thing is for sure, it will happen again.

We must stop these extremist invaders from raping the minds of American citizens on American soil. Here in America today, there are people with radical Islamic political views who are organizing with one goal in mind: to convert our citizens and to turn them against the non-believers. This is a big problem now in Nashville, on college campuses and in the nearby area. Nashville has become a hot bed for radical Islamic recruiting.

Carlos grew up a happy-go-lucky kid. He always had a big smile on his face, and loved to crack a joke or two. Everyone liked him. He loved to play team sports like basketball and football. He loved swimming, dancing, and listening to music.

Today we have two families that have been destroyed. This could have been prevented. I would like to see something change so that no other family in this great country of ours has to go through what our family is facing now.

GOD HELP US! GOD HELP US!

Let's make shariah ILLEGAL! Go back to the CONSTITUTION!!

From Ed Nelson at Protect Our Border Now!

A Florida legislator, Sen. Alan Hays, R-Umatilla, filed a bill, SB1294, to stipulate that only American laws will be permitted in Florida courts. The law is similar to state legislation introduced in Oklahoma and other states trying to protect the rights of their citizens from the use of foreign laws, including Islamic Sharia law, which permit behavior that this nation has long forbidden.

Of course, the ever-present and well-funded Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) immediately attacked the bill as being an attack on Islam and the bill's author as being out of touch with his constituents.Americans are justifiably proud of our laws, especially our U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Why would we want to allow laws, let's say, from the United Nations, some banana Republic or some foreign fanatical religion, to be used in American courts to justify ritual killings, genital mutilation or the right of husbands to rape and beat their wives?

It makes no sense, but there are plenty of politically-correct, bleeding heart newspapers that are giving groups like CAIR and their spokesmen plenty of ink to attack anyone that threatens the spread of Islam in America.

Nezar Hamze, executive director of the South Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), thinks Senator Hays is out of touch with his constituents. Do you? Or is it Hamze who is out of touch?Where do you stand? We stand with Florida and our U.S. Constitution.

Foreign laws belong in foreign countries ... not here.I like our Bill of Rights. I like our freedoms, including the right of any American who prefers Islamic laws and customs to American laws and customs to pack their bags and find a country that practices Sharia law ... because it's not going to happen here!

OUTRAGE AT OREGON STATE - why am I not surprised??

Posted by Bernelle Goodwin:


WE NEED TO HELP CANDIDATE DR. ART ROBINSON!

This is long, but I hope that you will read all of it:
http://www.oregonstateoutrage.com/

Here it is at World Net Daily:
http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=271753

Briefly, here is what it is about...

Dr. Art Robinson was our iCaucus endorsed candidate who ran against the Democratic incumbent Peter DeFazio, now in his 12th term, for the 4th Congressional District in Oregon. DeFazio won the general election with help from MoveOn.org and special interests in Washington. Dr. Robinson has already announced that he will run again in 2012.

Oregon State University (OSU), a far left institution, is reported to have received $27 million in earmark funding from Peter DeFazio and his Democratic colleagues during the last legislative session. It is now payback time.

Dr. Robinson's three children, along with a professor who tried to help them, are in grave danger of losing all that they have worked for at OSU:

Democrat activist David Hamby and militant feminist and chairman of the nuclear engineering department Kathryn Higley are expelling four-year Ph.D. student Joshua Robinson from OSU at the end of the current academic quarter and turning over the prompt neutron activation analysis facility Joshua built for his thesis work and all of his work in progress to Higley's husband, Steven Reese. Joshua received the award for best Masters of Nuclear Engineering thesis at OSU.

Meanwhile, faculty member Todd Palmer notified four-year Ph.D. student Bethany Robinson (OSU grade point average 3.89) that he was terminating her thesis work and taking all of her work in progress for himself. There is more if you read the entire post by Dr. Robinson.

Matthew Robinson (OSU grade point average 3.91) passed up a $57,000 per year offer from the MIT graduate school so he could join his brother and sister at OSU two years ago. He may be in danger of being expelled too.

OSU Professor of Nuclear Engineering Jack Higginbotham, who was privy to all of the meetings and actions, warned the Robinsons and came to their defense. Professor Higginbotham, who also serves as president of the OSU Faculty Senate and director of the Oregon NASA Space Science Consortium, has been a member of the OSU faculty for 24 years. Professor Higginbotham is being attacked; nearing success is an effort to strip him of his faculty position and his research grants.

Quote from Dr. Robinson: Demonstrating unanimity with the DeFazio cause, both responsible OSU deans and the president of OSU, Edward Ray, have so far failed to halt these dishonorable and illegal actions. Ray, a supporter of DeFazio on the campus, has refused even to meet with me or my son Joshua concerning these events. Knowledgeable observers have concluded that orders for the attacks on the Robinson students are coming from sources far above Ray in the Democrat political machine.

TAKE ACTION: Go to the website (http://www.oregonstateoutrage.com/) to get contact information... Call/Email/Fax - DO IT THEN POST THIS MESSAGE AROUND!

Brief bio of Dr. Robinson:
Arthur Robinson, Ph.D., the 2010 Republican candidate for U.S. Congress in Oregon's 4th congressional district, is a research professor of chemistry and co-founder of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine. After graduating from the California Institute of Technology in 1963 and earning his Ph.D. from the University of California at San Diego, he served as a UCSD faculty member until co-founding the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine with Linus Pauling in 1973. In 1981, Dr. Robinson, his wife, chemist Laurelee Robinson, physicist Martin Kamen, and later joined by Nobel-winning biochemist R. Bruce Merrifield, cofounded the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine. In recent years, Dr. Robinson has also directed the Petition Project, which has obtained the support and signatures of more than 31,000 American scientists for a petition opposed - entirely on scientific grounds published in peer reviewed journals - to the hypothesis of "human-caused global warming."

Islamic Flood, Muslim Brotherhood professor, banned by Bush, is coming!

Islamic Flood Coming to U.S.?

by Chad Groening
An Israeli author and expert on the Middle East is warning Americans that Islamic immigrants could possibly flood the U.S. as a result of the events taking place in Egypt.
Israel National News recently reported that the Obama administration has decided to allow Islamic professor Tariq Ramadan to enter the United States. Ramadan, an Egyptian who currently lives in Switzerland, is a leading member of Europe’s Muslim Brotherhood branch and is the grandson of the movement’s founder. He was invited to teach at the University of Notre Dame in 2004, but the Bush administration revoked his visa because of donations he made to a blacklisted charity.
However, the Obama administration has now decided to lift the ban and possibly allow Ramadan and Adam Habib, another Muslim professor, onto U.S. soil.
“I’m sure you’ve heard many times that Washington, DC, is now flooded with Muslims in very high positions in the U.S. administration, and these Muslims already control the gates,” notes Avi Lipkin, an Israeli scholar and author who has traveled throughout the U.S. to warn Americans about the threat of Islam. “The floodgates are open. The Muslims are coming in in tremendous numbers into the U.S.”
But he warns that the floodgates will only get worse when illegal aliens gain their amnesty.
“What we will be seeing, I’m afraid, will be an amnesty for the illegal immigrants in America,” Lipkin laments. “Once the amnesty takes place for the Latin Americans, then they will get ready for the next wave of illegals, which will be the tens of millions of Muslims who are going to be flooding into the U.S., especially Egyptians and Palestinians.”

AND a quick refresher course: Completed Homework on "Understanding Egypt"

World:  A Guide to Our Recent Posts on Understanding Egypt

• Recently, we posted a series of stories and blog posts about the Egypt conflict featuring guest contributors. This story is meant to be a one-stop-shop of sorts for that recent coverage. As such, it will be updated. Below you will find excerpts and links to the stories. 

“Understanding Egypt: Islamic Socialism and the Left” by M. Zuhdi Jasser “Many have a hard time understanding where the political left in Europe and the United States have common ground with this theo-political Islamist movement. Socialist ideology promotes an oppression of the individual for the collective needs of society and government. Islamist ideology similarly promotes the oppression of the individual for the ‘common good’ of the Islamic state. Both snuff out individual responsibility for tribal collective control.”

“Understanding Egypt: What Is a Caliphate?” by Bill Tucker
“Sometimes a word, like a faded Hollywood starlet, makes a surprising return to the spotlight … and so it is for caliphate.  The word owes its renewed popularity to Glenn Beck, who first raised the possibility of a new caliphate on his Fox television show.  Suddenly, the word went from relative obscurity to become one of Google’s most searched words, as revolution erupted in Egypt and the world began to wonder what would emerge from the anger in Egypt’s streets.”
“Understanding Egypt: History of the Caliphate (Part One)” by Joel Richardson
“From Muhammad’s death until the fall of the Ottoman Empire in 1923, various Caliphates or dynasties ruled the Islamic world. The most significant Caliphates in historical order were the Rashidun, the Abbasid, the Umayyid, and finally the Ottoman. At times in Muslim history, there have even been rival claimant Caliphs in different parts of the Muslim world. Although the purpose of the Caliphate is to unify all Muslims worldwide, rarely has this genuinely been the case.  Islamists however often downplay this fact and instead portray the first thirteen hundred years of Islam through a highly idealized lens…”
“Understanding Egypt: Making Stone Soup” by Damon Vickers
“We are facing a moment in history that is unlike anything we have seen in our lifetimes. Never before have so many people in so many regions of the world simultaneously beat the drums of revolution. While change is inevitable, what can we do to prepare ourselves? And how might a widespread transition to extremist Islamic rule in the Middle East effect your pocketbook? Your investments? And perhaps the politics here in the United States.”
“Is Egypt‘s Really Obama’s to Lose?” by S.E. Cupp
“Obama’s foreign policy is predicated on a belief in the real power of soft diplomacy, the unclenching of fists, and the oratorical equivalent of a hug. And when it comes to the Middle East, he is careful not to make too many demands (unless, of course, you were hoping to build some apartment buildings in East Jerusalem, in which case, he’d really rather you didn’t.)”

Muslim Common Sense

Posted in NEWSMAX.COM
Cairo Awash in Garbage — Blame the Flu
Imagine a metropolis of 18 million people that produces more than 8,000 tons of garbage each day — yet has no municipal garbage collection.
That’s Cairo. Garbage has long been an unhealthy and odiferous problem in the Egyptian capital, but in the last few years it has gotten even worse, thanks in large part to the swine flu.
And while Cairo residents have lately been far more concerned with the unfolding political turmoil in Egypt than with garbage, the problem has been just one more facet of Egyptian life that angers and frustrates citizens.
For decades, Cairo’s garbage has been picked up by a Coptic Christian community called the Zabbaleen — “garbage people” in Egyptian Arabic — who moved from farms to Cairo in the 1940s looking for work and settled on cliffs on the eastern edge of the city.
The Zabbaleen — whose numbers have been estimated from 80,000 to several hundred thousand — go door to door collecting trash from city residents and businesses. They transport the garbage back to their communities and sort out materials that can be sold for recycling.
Several years ago the government tried to hire private companies to collect some of the trash, but the Zabbaleen said they were collecting more than 6,000 tons a day and the private carters just 2,000, according to The New York Times.
In the past the Zabbaleen tossed the food waste to their large herds of pigs, which they raised for sale and subsidence. But in April 2009, news broke that swine flu was spreading around the world. The government of Hosni Mubarak decided to kill all the country’s pigs, about 300,000, even though there had been no cases of swine flu in Egypt at that time. The slaughter continued even after it was generally agreed that pigs were not spreading the disease.
The vast majority of Egyptians are Muslim and they do not eat pork.
Without their pigs, the Zabbaleen suddenly had no way to dispose of their organic waste. Instead they have been recycling what they can from the garbage they collect, and tossing the food waste wherever they can.
“They expect me to pay to have a carter take this [garbage] away,” said one member of a Zabbaleen family who lost 125 pigs. “Forget it. I will throw it anywhere.”
The private companies have tried to place trash bins around the city, “but they failed to understand the ethos of the community,” the Seattle Times reported shortly after the pig slaughter. “People do not take their garbage out. They are accustomed to someone collecting it from the door.”

Animal Rights and the Globalist Agenda

Animal Rights and the Globalist Agenda

By Kathleen Marquardt, with Tom DeWeese

While everyone knows that Animal Rights (A/R) is at the far left extreme of the political spectrum, most people do not understand what A/R is or where they fit into the New Age/Globalism scheme. A/R, like the Green movement, is a multimillion dollar business that is a cabal for taking people out of the natural structure of the earth. And while most people sense that A/R is extreme, they have no idea of what the A/R movement’s core beliefs are. People confuse animal rights with animal welfare which are as different as black and white.
Animal Welfare is the humane caring for animals. Animal Rights is the use of animals to attack human existence. How is that? A/Rists believe that humans should not eat meat, wear leather, hunt or fish, use any medical research (past, present or future) involving animals or even have pets.
In speaking about animals in research, Tom Regan says that if scrapping animal-based research “means there are some things we cannot learn, then so be it. We have no basic right not to be harmed by those natural diseases we are heir to.” Think about that carefully. He is one of the major animal rights philosophers and he is saying that we should be dying of the plague, infection and polio. Why would anyone think these things let alone speak them aloud? I would posit that only someone hating his or her own species could utter such drivel. Man’s tool, his major protection against bigger predators and the jungle that is the earth, is his mind. His mind has come up with antibiotics and immunizations, along with cars and planes and computers. It is man’s mind, his ability to reason that A/Rists and Greens hate so much.
Reason is the ability that man has that animals do not. It is also something that the global elites would like to render obsolete in the general public. How can I say that? Look at what they have been teaching in our schools for the past half century – that moral relativism trumps reason and logic. If it does then there is no reason for man to exist; there is no good or bad; there is no difference between man animals and trees. And that benefits the globalists – it gives ordinary man no reason to be here; no reason to occupy space that could “better” be occupied by skunks and skunk cabbage. Man is a “despoiler” of Gaia, mother earth, and thus any movement to rid the earth of man has to be a friend of globalism – at least while they have common cause.
While visiting a friend (a man with a fairly high IQ but obviously educated with the Dewey method) we were talking about animal rights and I was trying to get across the idea that animal rightists use emotion rather than logic to decide how they feel about things. My friend said that both methods are valid and equal. Of course I tried to explain that with one you use critical thinking and provable facts to arrive at a conclusion and with the other you have to suspend critical thinking and accept the unknown. Silly me. He went to school where “critical thinking” does not resemble the critical thinking drummed into me in school. Today’s critical thinking involves taking specific facts given to the student (without sound scientific backing) and then told to go from there. So I shut up. How do you get someone steeped in moral relativism to use rational thinking? You don’t.
For the globalists, A/R is a perfect pawn. The globalists want to reduce the human population by up to 85%, what better ally to have than the A/Rists who hate humans; who want to erase humans from the face of the earth so the lion can lie down with the lamb (just don’t tell them that the lion is having lamb for dinner) and no human will be there to intervene.
The A/Rists also have no compunction about lying to achieve their aims. I know, why should that seem strange in a morally relative world? But my world still has morality at its base. At legislative hearings animal rightists testify to outright lies. When researchers then testify to the truth and call them out, the A/Rist smile and say, “well, you won’t be here every time; then we will carry the day.” And they do not even exhibit shame for lying – instead they seemed proud. And why not? In a world of moral relativism everything is equal – lying/truth, good/evil. With A/Rists the ends do justify the means.
They are also Politically Correct and we are not. And don’t you forget it. And Political Correctness (i.e. group ignorance passing as collective wisdom) pays. Colleges and universities would invite me to debate Ingrid Newkirk or her ilk. When I would say, “sure, just pay me what you are paying her,” they would say that the $30,000 (or whatever sum it was) that they paid her was all they had, but that they needed the other side represented to show the reality. So wouldn’t I do it for the students who were overly bombarded with animal rights and eco-disaster hogwash and needed a sane point of view? If they meant what they said to me, why did they invite her in the first place? I know, it was another faction (p.c.) in the school that extended the invitation and they wanted equal time. Sad but this is life in the new Globalist world.
A reporter from the Sacramento Bee set me straight early on in my tangles with A/R. He said, “Animal Rights is politically correct and you are not. So no matter how ‘average American’ you are, your moral values are no longer held in esteem. Even though most people are like you, they aspire to be vegan and animal rightists.” That is, in their morally relevant minds, they aspire to being vegan and being greener than green and to reduce their carbon footprints to near zero. To truly comprehend that one would have to do more than suspend critical thinking, one would have to try to conjure up the absurd.
Our moral values are no longer esteemed. While they are the values based on reason, logic, sound science and common sense, they are less than ignored in today’s globalist world. They are spat upon and derided. Civility itself has no place in the globalist world; if it did we would at least be allowed to hold dear our values and practice them in peace.
Thus my question, “What does the Animal Rights movement bring to the globalist table?” offers up this answer: a politically correct tool to reduce the human population. How? By shutting down medical research using animals which not only is detrimental to humans but animals too. By trying to force veganism on people through propaganda and by shutting down cattle yards and packing plants. By lying about animal welfare and by brainwashing our children in the schools.
Do we offer ourselves up to this moral bankruptcy? Not me.
