You forgot to add that most of those are starving poor, but still popping out babies. That growth will happen due to their continued ignorance. Don't have children when you can't even feed yourself. It's called common sense and personal responsibility. 2 traits no longer taught. stunt But it gets worse, through "Political Correctness" aka "NewSpeak" Friday, April 18, 2008 To: Friends & Supporters From: Gary L.

The Trouble With Hate Crimes Laws French film star Brigitte Bardot is on trial in France. The prosecution is seeking a two-month suspended prison sentence and a fine of nearly $24,000. Her crime -- assaulting a police officer? DUI? Tax evasion? No. She is on trial for "inciting religious hatred" -- specifically for insulting Muslims by exercising her freedom of speech. In the past Bardot has complained about the "Islamisation of France," in a published letter, referring to the growing Muslim population, "I am fed up with being under the thumb of this population which is destroying us, destroying our country and imposing its acts." I don't often defend celebrities, but Bardot is not just an angry old crank without a cause. Her cause is freedom. I have written about the Muslim "youth" who have set Paris ablaze in riots that lasted for days. I have written about the creeping imposition of Sharia law in England. I have noted how a judge in Germany (a female judge no less) dismissed a Muslim woman's domestic violence abuse case because, according to the judge, the Koran permits the beating of women. Wherever Islam gains a significant foothold, the dominant culture soon finds itself bending to the will of Allah out of political correctness, coercion or both—and women often suffer the most. There is a warning here for men and women of faith and those who cherish freedom regarding the threat to freedom presented by the nexus of the radical Left and the sympathizers of Islamofascism. Both are using hate crimes legislation to silence their critics. Wherever such laws have been passed, a tyranny of "tolerance" has been imposed upon the people, and religious liberty and freedom of speech have suffered. We have reported on religious leaders in Europe who have been harassed by the authorities and even sentenced to jail for preaching the biblical view of human sexuality. We have reported on politicians who have been fined for daring to suggest that traditional marriage and heterosexuality are the norm. We have reported on columnists who are facing government inquisitions for being critical of Islam. Is America destined to suffer the same fate? Will this report be silenced by similar laws now threatening to send Brigitte Bardot to jail? Will James Dobson and Rush Limbaugh be forced off the public airwaves? Liberals in Congress have tried to resurrect the so-called "Fairness Doctrine," and they tried to attach "hate crimes" legislation to the Defense budget. My friends, freedom demands eternal vigilance. If men and women of faith disengage from the public policy process and refuse to participate in the political arena, America will cease to be a land of liberty and opportunity. Ronald Reagan once said, "If we forget that we are one nation under God, we will be a nation gone under." Pope Benedict XVI reminded us this week that "a democracy without values can lose its very soul." In the struggle to defend freedom here at home, we must never tire or despair.

Passover This weekend, Jews around the world will celebrate Passover, commemorating the night when the angel of death passed over the houses of the Israelites, while bringing a terrible judgment upon their enemies. And with the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, the Jewish nation was born. Liat Collins, writing in the Jerusalem Post , offered this stirring explanation of the holiday: "Passover, Pessah, is the Festival of Freedom - hag haherut. That we continue to celebrate it after three millennia is perhaps in itself a miracle. It symbolizes everything we are proud of: survival against the odds; national identity; and a return to the Promised Land. All the things for which we have been admired -- and reviled -- over thousands of years. True, the country is far from perfect. And it exists in a very far from ideal world. In the spirit of Pessah, however, there is still room for hope. After the salt water and bitter herbs comes a festive meal. Let's make this night truly different from all other nights and instead of focusing on the evils and plagues, let's count our blessings. They can be summed up in one word: freedom." Please join me in praying for the peace of Jerusalem during this Festival of Freedom. ------------------------------- PS: If we fail to protect our freedom from the tyrannts in sheep clothing, and our known threats, we will lose it.
