The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission (CADC) is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) Education Corporation whose purpose it is to become the first-in-mind champion of Christian religious liberty, domestically and internationally, and a national clearing house and first line of response to anti-Christian defamation, bigotry, and discrimination.
As America slides down the slippery slope into secular abyss, Christianity itself has come under attack. Nowhere is the assault on religious liberty more ruthless than in our schools. Just last month, a malicious little atheist forced a Rhode Island high school to remove its students' inspirational prayer from the wall of the gymnasium.
But one brave man refuses to stand by as the secular state annihilates our childrens' religious liberties. Rev. Gary L. Cass, president of the celebrated Christian Anti-Defamation Commission, has recently launched a new organization called DefendStudents.org, which is dedicated to defending religious liberty in our schools.
A quick glance at the DefendStudents.org website reveals the group's tremendous efforts on behalf of religious liberty:
6,000 Students Exposed to the Depraved Truth about Muhammad
December 13, 2011
Last week we had our very first coast-to-coast outreach. DefendStudents.org was active in both California and Florida, reaching over 6,000 students with the truth about Muhammad. We had a very successful maiden launch of our Defend Students campaign in South Florida.
Radical Islam Infiltrates Florida Public School
January 18, 2012
Controversy has erupted in Tampa, Florida. A public school teacher was discovered inviting a terrorist sympathizer into the classroom to give pro-Islamic lectures for the last three years. Hassan Shibly is from the Council on American-Islamic Relations, CAIR, who is known to have ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. Their stated goal is to impose Islam on America by sabotaging the United States.
Islamic parents found guilty of murdering daughters
February 2, 2012
In Canada, a jury found Muslim parents guilty in the murder of their daughters and the husbands other wife.
EXPOSED: High School Student Club Linked to Terrorism
February 3, 2012
A team from DefendStudents.org went to Northwood High School (NHS) in Irvin, California to confront the Muslim Brotherhood. NHS is one of the few schools that we know of that has a Muslim Student Association (MSA). It is a matter of public record that MSA’s are directly linked to the murderous Muslim Brotherhood.
Secular progressives will try to convince you that the Christian right is a hotbed of intolerance and that its leaders' complaints of Christian persecution are just a mask for barely repressed bigotry.
Dr. Cass's righteous efforts to protect religious liberty disproves these vicious lies.
We must get the government and the courts out of our schools so that our children will be free to practice their Christian faith without being ostracized or demonized for their beliefs.

SPIN METER: Rivals airbrush anti-Romney words
By Nancy Benac, Associated Press, May 16, 2012
After the nastiness of the Republican primary race, former candidates have collective amnesia about Romney disses
Note to self: you think you're so smart about this kinda stuff, but you yourself fell for it once again.....so much for all the prognostication about one of our political parties disintegrating from all the primary campaign animosity.

Assessing the Representativeness of Public Opinion Surveys
Pew Resarch Center for the People and the Press, May 15, 2012
For decades survey research has provided trusted data about political attitudes and voting behavior, the economy, health, education, demography and many other topics. But political and media surveys are facing significant challenges as a consequence of societal and technological changes.
It has become increasingly difficult to contact potential respondents and to persuade them to participate. The percentage of households in a sample that are successfully interviewed – the response rate – has fallen dramatically. At Pew Research, the response rate of a typical telephone survey was 36% in 1997 and is just 9% today. The general decline in response rates is evident across nearly all types of surveys, in the United States and abroad. At the same time, greater effort and expense are required to achieve even the diminished response rates of today. These challenges have led many to question whether surveys are still providing accurate and unbiased information [....]

Ride of Silence
On May 16, 2012 at 7:00 PM, the Ride of Silence will begin in North America and roll across the globe. Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.
...
The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road and remain silent during the ride. There are no sponsors and no registration fees. The ride, which is held during National Bike Month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for and honor the lives of those who have been killed or injured.

Sugar makes you stupid: Study shows high-fructose diet...
A new UCLA rat study is the first to show how a diet steadily high in fructose slows the brain, hampering memory and learning — and how omega-3 fatty acids can counteract the disruption. The peer-reviewed Journal of Physiology publishes the findings in its May 15 edition.
"Our findings illustrate that what you eat affects how you think," said Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, a professor of neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a professor of integrative biology and physiology in the UCLA College of Letters and Science. "Eating a high-fructose diet over the long term alters your brain's ability to learn and remember information. But adding omega-3 fatty acids to your meals can help minimize the damage."
While earlier research has revealed how fructose harms the body through its role in diabetes, obesity and fatty liver, this study is the first to uncover how the sweetener influences the brain.
The UCLA team zeroed in on high-fructose corn syrup, an inexpensive liquid six times sweeter than cane sugar, that is commonly added to processed foods, including soft drinks, condiments, applesauce and baby food. The average American consumes more than 40 pounds of high-fructose corn syrup per year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"We're not talking about naturally occurring fructose in fruits, which also contain important antioxidants," explained Gomez-Pinilla, who is also a member of UCLA's Brain Research Institute and Brain Injury Research Center. "We're concerned about high-fructose corn syrup that is added to manufactured food products as a sweetener and preservative."[Better write this down]

Insider tells why Anonymous ‘might well be the most...
Christopher Doyon, a.k.a. Commander X, sits atop a hillside in an undisclosed location in Canada, watching a reporter and photographer make their way along a narrow path to join him, away from the prying eyes of law enforcement.
It’s been a few weeks of encrypted emails back and forth, working out the security protocol to follow for interviewing Doyon, one of the brains behind Anonymous, now a fugitive from the FBI.
Doyon, who readily admits taking part in some of the highest-profile hacktivist attacks on websites last year — from Tunisia to Orlando, Sony to PayPal — was arrested in September for a comparatively minor assault on the county website of Santa Cruz, Calif., where he was living, in retaliation for the town forcibly removing a homeless encampment on the courthouse steps.
The “virtual sit-in” lasted half an hour. For that, Doyon is facing 15 years in jail.

That's so spot on, I'm not sure if it rises to the level of Poe's law. If I didn't know you, I would've easily missed the "Humor & Satire" tag.
Yeah, I may have read just a tad too much religious right propaganda. But I thought that the title would give it away.
Hmm. And then there is:
550 sexual abuse claims filed against Milwaukee Archdiocese
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46236534/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/
But, this is just a small segment of the lawsuits filed against the Catholic Church and I'm sure there's at least triple the amount of abuse cases not reported.
Every time, and I do mean every single time, that the Separation of Church and State is not upheld, we all need to stand up and speak out loudly and clearly, over and over.
Appreciate!
My favorite example of Catholic Church hypocrisy comes from the 1977 battle against a Miami law to protect gays from employment and housing discrimination--the dispute that made Anita Bryant so notorious.
The Church opposed the law, of course. The Archdiocese of Miami expressed concern that allowing gay men to teach children would be like letting "a fox in the chicken coop."
25 years later...
"Church Kept Accused Priest on Job," Miami Herald, 3/23/03
Well done, Genghis. I'm reminded that the kinds of deviant behavior the Christians were accused of by the Romans remain in their playbook today to use against others.
I went to the link for the Christian Defamation Commission and it took me to their About Us page. I actually got chills looking at that page. White and black and blue, small, tight, no-nonsense print. . . It could have been a prop in any movie ever made about dystopian societies. . .Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, 1984. . .no surprise, though, that it is real. And not a bit funny.
It took me a while to be able to laugh again, but by the end of your post I could at least smile a bit.
Someday I'll thank you for sending me there. Right now I need my hot chocolate with a slug of Bailey's.
Bless me Father for I have sinned.
It has been 18,257 days since my last confession and these are my sins:
I quit praying to God since he never seemed to get around to even whispering to me let alone grant my petty wishes.
I continued to keep playing with my junk or getting myself into some situation where some fine maiden stepped into helping me in my path towards belief.
I never entered into some adulterous ventures myself; but I certainly was quite taken by certain married women with nice racks and succulent behinds.
I never stole anything during all this time although this might have been due to the fact that I recognized no real facility in this area of professional acumen; although there were times when a friend or an enemy might have wowed me with his new wheels!
I never murdered anyone (except for those two guys outside of Reno that one time when my ownership of a lottery ticket was at issue) although I did wish at times that certain individuals might be hammered to death with baseball bats.
I have at times denied the goodness of the Lord (as it were depending upon how that term is defined).
I have cursed the very existence of certain individuals during this hiatus but then again, I have cursed my own existence more often. (this is an estimate of course since I never was very good at keeping records on this subject.)
I have blasphemed when the spirit has moved me--which is no more than ten or twenty times a day.
I never had much honor for my father or my mother but dad died prior to my escaping the clutches of the church. I certainly never honored his memory.
THE PRIEST: Say three Hail Mary's and a good act of contrition. Then go ahead a purchase a small caliber pistol and blow your frickin brains out.
Hail Mary full of grace
The Lord has made you a single mother and we are never going to let you become a welfare queen regardless of you silly explanations...
NOTHING IS REVEALED
Those guys in Reno.... You sure you didn't do it just to watch them die?
Also, for those in the Twin Cities region, it is now acceptable to offer up 3 Hail Harmon's as an equivalent to 3 Hail Mary's.
Harmon died for chrissakes.
I went thru a list of folks dead in 2011 and I was going to blog about some of them.
Harmon was God in my neck of the woods; growing up. I do not know how many times I have bored people with the fact that in 1961 I was present to view Mantle and Maris and Harmon hit home runs in the same damn game. We lost of course.
Nowadays it is hard to find heroes who do not have some political taint.
Harmon was for Truth, Justice & the American Way.
The old Washington Senators had come to Minnesota.
Decades later we win two World Series!
Heroes.
WE NEED MORE HEROES!
Reno? Shot a man (or two) in Reno?
Cut him slack, Q. Way he tells it, he did not shoot the deputy.
