Christians forced to endorse homosexual agenda?
A local printshop in Lexington Kentucky is facing the full hatred of the radical Homosexual Lobby.
Hands On Originals is a small apparel company owned and operated by devout Christians.
But when they unwittingly bid on and won a job to produce t-shirts for a local homosexual event, they felt it would send an inappropriate message.
It was only after winning the job that the owners learn that the t-shirts were covered in pro-homosexual propaganda...
...and they just couldn’t go through with the order.
Co-owner Blaine Adamson told the press that his Christian company would never agree to support the Homosexual Agenda.
But in an act of good will, Hands On Originals arranged for another shop to handle the order for the very same cost.
But this was not good enough for the local homosexual activists.
You see they refuse to accept that the majority of Americans disagree with their lifestyles and agenda.
The group behind the t-shirt, the Gay and Lesbian Services Organization immediately filed a complaint with the government, charging the Christian apparel company with hate crimes.
And as ridiculous as that seems, it was taken seriously.
Hands On Originals is now under investigation by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission -- a front for the Homosexual Lobby.
But it gets even worse. The mayor of Lexington Jim Gray -- an open and radical homosexual activist -- has launched a public crusade against them, using his official position and power to punish the company who dared to oppose the Homosexual Agenda.
And he is causing serious financial problems for the apparel manufacturer.
The City of Lexington has done business with this local employer for years, but now Mayor Gray has put a stop to that.
The Fayette County public school system -- another long time customer -- has put all orders on hold before the investigation is even complete.
The teachers have been ordered to boycott Hands On Originals for the foreseeable future.
And the University of Kentucky has joined with the school system and the City in this destructive boycott, announcing that it will not renew the contract for sports apparel that Hands On Originals has faithfully fulfilled for years.
The loss of all three customers is a serious blow to the company, and could very lead to its closing.
That public officials would use their authority to punish a thriving business for supporting Christian morals is absolutely disgusting.
In these harsh economic times it is criminal for Mayor Gray to destroy jobs and livelihoods -- all in the name of the radical Homosexual Lobby.
That’s why Public Advocate supporters should call Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear’s office and demand that he immediately investigate Mayor Gray's abuse of power and the University of Kentucky's obviously political decisions.
Mayor Gray and his cronies are seeking to do irreparable harm to the local economy and to the Family.
So please, call Governor Beshear at (502) 564-2611 and demand that he put a stop to this abuse of power by the Homosexual Lobby and their allies.
Everyone has the right to say no to the Homosexual Lobby.
For the Family,
Eugene Delgaudio
President, Public Advocate of the United States

Rand Paul: Stop the spending
I don't know about you, but I believe there is something wrong with a government that adds over 4.1 BILLION dollars to its national debt every day.
Spending is out of control. I hope you agree this is a problem.
Our federal deficit now stands at 1.5 trillion dollars and our national debt is a staggering 14.1 trillion dollar ball and chain on our economy -- over $45,500 for every American (even children).
I have a plan to put a stop to it. Right now.
Last year, Republicans in Washington overwhelmingly voted for both a Balanced Budget amendment to the constitution, and for the Cut, Cap and Balance plan.
What do those two things have in common? Both of them required the budget to be in balance in less than 5 years.
I am happy to announce that I have introduced a full budget plan in the US Senate to do just that.
TO CUT four cabinet agencies, including the Department of Education.
TO CAP welfare and medicaid programs, block grant them, and send them back to the states.
TO BALANCE in its 5th year, with years 6-10 in surplus.
My plan spends trillions less than both the President's laughable budget and the House-passed Ryan budget, which does not go far enough in controlling spending.
I am writing you today because I need your help leading the fight to reduce federal spending by passing the Paul Balanced Budget Plan.
Americans are demanding the reduction of government spending, but we must unite to make it clear to Congress that there are only two options.
Vote to massively reduce federal spending or pay the price in 2012.
Congress saw the strength of the Tea Party movement in November, but it will mean nothing if you and I let up now.
Right now there are numerous bills from both parties that only reduce spending by a fraction.
These big government politicians want to splash out a drop when we need to pour the bucket!
They believe you will be appeased by them merely cutting a billion here and there when we need to cut trillions.
Well, their tricks aren't going to work this time.
Will you take the first step now by signing the RAND-PAC Paul Budget Petition?
Your petition will make it clear to your senators that federal spending is a major problem and it must be drastically cut now.
Specifically, my budget will:
** ELIMINATE four cabinet agencies.
** CUT most domestic spending back to 2008, pre-stimulus levels.
** FIX the defense sequester.
** ENACT meaningful welfare and medicaid reform.
** TEAR UP the old tax code and replace it with a Flat Tax.
The good news is, because of Senate rules, there WILL be a vote on the Paul Balanced Budget in the coming weeks, perhaps as early as the week I return to Washington later this month.So time is short.
Your signed petition will enable RAND-PAC to lead the fight in forcing a vote on this crucial legislation.
In fact, RAND-PAC has plans to reach over 3 million like-minded conservatives in the next 30 days to garner support for the Paul Balanced Budget.
Will you work with me to pass the Paul Balanced Budget?
If so, please click here to sign the petition right away.
Together I know you and I and millions of fed up Americans will return our government to a functional level of spending that allows our economy to thrive and create jobs.
Unfortunately, our plan to contact these millions of Americans isn't cheap.
Which is why I hope you will agree to make a generous contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more to RAND-PAC after signing your petition.
If that is too much, please consider chipping in with a donation of $10.
I know you are sick and tired of the direction our country is headed. And I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that you are not alone in your frustration. Isn't it time you and I and every other beaten-down American banded together for change?
I believe it is.
Is it too much to ask that our government spend within in reason so you and future generations aren't stripped of every hard-earned penny?
I don't think so.
If you agree, stand with me by clicking here to sign the Paul balanced budget petition now.
I know I can count on you.
For Liberty,
Rand Paul
United States Senator
P.S. Our government's spending is out of control.
Our national debt is at 14.1 trillion dollars and grows by over 4 billion dollars per day!
I am leading the fight along with RAND-PAC to see to it that government spending is reduced through my Balanced budget.
And I want to invite you to be among the first to stand with me and RAND-PAC by signing the petition by clicking here.
After you sign the petition, I hope you will make a donation to RAND-PAC of $25, $50, $100 or more.
If that is too much, please consider chipping in with a donation of $10 or more.
Your donation will be vital in reaching the millions of Americans like you who are fed up with out-of-control federal spending.
Will you join with me in fighting for reduced government spending?
Ron Paul draws overflow crowd at UCLA town hall meeting
LOS ANGELES - Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul used an appearance Wednesday night before an overflow crowd at Straus Stadium at the Los Angeles Tennis Center at UCLA to reiterate his calls for a smaller federal government and to change the nation's foreign policy.
"The problem... boils down to one thing -- government is way too big," Paul said, drawing cheers from the crowd estimated at between 6,000-7,000, filling the 5,800-seat stadium, with others climbing nearby trees to see the speech.
The 12-term Texas congressman repeated his call for repealing the 16th Amendment that permitted the federal income tax. Paul has said that restraining federal spending by enforcing the Constitution's limits on the federal government's power would make the income tax unnecessary.
Paul also drew cheers when he said "it's time to change our foreign policy. Why don't we look at the Constitution? There's no authority for us to occupy other nations and tell them what to do, so we shouldn't be in the business of occupying."
What the Paul campaign called a town hall meeting came in the midst of a three-day series of appearances by Paul at California campuses organized by Youth for Ron Paul, which has 591 chapters and has recruited more than 53,600 people, according to the campaign.
The trip began Tuesday at Cal State Chico and is scheduled to conclude Thursday night at UC Berkeley.
The Paul campaign is using the trip to attempt to
register more of Paul's supporters as Republicans, enabling them to vote for him in the June 5 California primary. Paul is scheduled to return to the Los Angeles area May 1 for a $2,500 per person fundraiser in Bel Air, where Nassim Taleb, the author of "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable" is also set to speak.
They Win, We Lose
by Ben Crystal
Since I submitted my column “The Worst Week Ever,” I’ve found myself musing on the politically pathological behavior displayed of late by President Barack Obama and his accomplices. Not that I don’t recognize Obama’s tenure so far has involved some fairly — ahem — befuddling benchmarks; but, as I suggested Tuesday, the Democrats must be in full panic mode. And their reactions under electoral pressure of their own creation remind me of a drug dealer with two strikes on his record getting popped for selling crack to an 8-year-old.
Of course, to hear liberals tell it, they’re as comfortable as the furniture in one of Warren Buffett’s private planes. If we presume the liberal elite are correct and Obama’s re-election is a foregone conclusion, then we can also fairly presume that his erratic behavior is not born of fear of rapidly declining fortunes. Instead, it is a nationwide dance of liberal celebration.
And what a dance it is! The shockingly violent Occupy rallies, the union thug attacks on the people of Wisconsin (among other places), the incursions against the Bill of Rights and the foreign policy miscues are all steps in an elaborate number that has reached a crescendo in Florida. Down in the Sunshine State, Democratic Party leaders and mouthpieces have descended like a biblical plague of locusts. Spurred on by Obama’s ill-advised remarks about Trayvon Martin, leading lights of liberalism — including the “Reverends” (that means you, Jesse Jackson, and the rest of the usual suspects) — appear to be doing their best to incite a race war.
Meanwhile, Obama has reacted to what he feels were excessively insightful Supreme Court questions regarding Obamacare by edging toward a turf war with the judicial branch. Following Obama’s inappropriately disparaging remarks about the “unelected group of people” on the High Court, the three-judge panel at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals demanded clarification from the Administration, with the Judges issuing a none-too-subtle reminder of just how far the long arm of the law can reach.
In major cities across the Nation — from the crack dens of Washington, D.C., to the festering swamp of New Orleans and from the smoldering ruin of Detroit to the freak shows in California — the Democrats have established hegemony, crime, poverty and misery as the rule. And the same Democrats who would have us believe Obama is guaranteed four more years in the Oval Office are spreading the same seeds of discord across the fruited plain.
I’ll grant that taking as legitimate the Democrats’ proclaimed confidence requires a greater suspension of disbelief than a North Korean propaganda film. But I’m willing to admit it’s possible Obama and his cronies have deluded themselves into believing that they’re unbeatable. If they really are convinced that victory is assured, then it follows that their bizarre behavior is the planned result of their schemes, and the cities I mentioned before are testament to the long-term effects of repeated Democratic victories.
Ill-conceived economic policies resulting in crushing debt, shocking corruption, virtually apocalyptic urban tableaus, a comprehensive disregard for the Constitution and submissive dealings with our adversaries are the modus operandi of Democrats when they think they’re winning.
Food for thought: Why is it that in order for Obama and the Democrats to win, everyone else has to lose?

God’s Jury: The Inquisition and the Making of the Modern World by Cullen Murphy
by Bob Livingston
Established by the Catholic church in 1231, the Inquisition was designed to make people adhere to the teachings of the church and make them toe the official church-approved version of Catholicism. And if Cullen Murphy’s book God’s Jury: The Inquisition and the Making of the Modern World stuck to describing the 700-year history of the Inquisition, it might only hold interest for historians who wish to explore how the church functioned as a medieval political power.
Instead, Murphy’s larger purpose is to show how large organizations filled with small-minded bureaucrats can terrorize a population when they have willing foot soldiers to do their bidding. The Inquisition, as Murphy sees it, was just a taste of what big governments would later accomplish when they set their minds to trying to control both how people behave and how they think.
And Murphy points out that today’s technological marvels of communication and surveillance allow government inquisitors to record and track personal behavior in ways the old-time Inquisitorial powers could only dream of. He points out, though, that if you subtract the technological aspects of our modern inquisition, it shares a lot of similarities with what the Catholic church implemented.
Retaining Power
The basic tenet of a bureaucracy, whether it works for the Federal government or a church, is that “Institutions do what they must to retain power. Isn’t it that simple?” That’s a quote that Murphy takes from Eamon Duffy, a historian who has tracked the bloody changeover of England from a Catholic country to a Protestant power in the 16th century.
Murphy shows how the tools of today’s bureaucratic governments are outgrowths of past measures to keep power: “Motivations may change, targets may shift, but the infrastructure builds by increments. Proof of identity, record-keeping, informers, surveillance, denunciation, interrogations: these are the basic instruments. And as medieval kingdoms remade themselves into modern states, the instruments became better and were applied in a more systematic way.”
The transition from the Inquisition to the modern police state picked up steam in France in 1790. It was then that France invented the passport and the identity card. Napoleon and his head of secret police, Joseph Fouche, formulated summaries of all the intelligence, news, rumors and gossip they could gather to make sure they stayed ahead of efforts to depose them.
Later, the Russian Czars modeled their secret police after the French undercover agents. And when the Communists took over Russia, Lenin made the Czar’s bureaucracy into what would later become the KGB. Today the KGB has morphed into the FSB. The FSB, if you can believe it, is even more powerful than the KGB ever was. As Murphy points out, at least the KGB had to report to the Communist Party. Today the Communist Party is gone and the FSB has no one to restrain it.
Preemptive Action
In the United States, Murphy says, these types of efforts at control led to the so-called Palmer raids in the early 20th century. At that time, the attorney general, A. Mitchell Palmer, organized raids “led by the young J. Edgar Hoover, (that) rounded up targeted individuals by the thousands.” As The Washington Post noted in 1920: “There is no time to waste on hairsplitting over infringement of liberties.”
Later, the FBI, led by the same Hoover, would gather files on 25 million Americans. Today, as the Federal government collects more and more information on its citizens under the USA Patriot Act, untold numbers of electronic files are being collected.
Murphy believes that single-minded organizations, whether they are inquisitions or modern police states, are misguided by their belief in their infallibility. He quotes Samuel Johnson’s observation about a man who “seems to me to possess but one idea, and that is a wrong one.”
A bureaucracy that wants everyone to behave like obedient sheep is likewise enslaved to one idea that is a wrong one. But as long as we stay vigilant and fight back against that wrong idea, there’s hope for a freer future.

Sign the petition Obama fears
Dear Concerned American,
They snickered when I said I came to the U.S. Senate to change Congress.
But their laughter stopped when I sponsored the National Right to Work Act to free U.S. workers from forced unionization and break Big Labor's multi-billion dollar political machine forever.
President Barack Obama and Big Labor allies in the Senate are now feverishly scheming to bury the National Right to Work Act without a vote.
So I have a question for you.
Will you be the sledgehammer?
Your signature on the petition to your Congressman and Senators is what is needed to bust through the opposition and force a vote on the National Right to Work Act.
National Right to Work Committee staff have delivered the first of 1.1 million (and counting) signed petitions to the U.S. Senate, and there are now 20 cosponsors in the Senate and 72 in the House of Representatives.
This is a crucial step as chief sponsor Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) and I work with our colleagues to take the next step in the legislative process, but it's vital for Right to Work supporters to keep up the pressure.
As you know, the right to decide freely whether or not to join a union was taken away from American workers by Congress almost 75 years ago.
A result of back-room deals between union bosses and their tax-and-spend Congressional puppets, compulsory unionism provisions in federal law currently empower union officials to:
>>>Force nearly 11 million Americans to pay tribute to a union boss to get or keep a job ...
>>>Brazenly loot union treasuries to fund the election of their hand-picked political puppet candidates like Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid ...
>>>Terrorize workers and communities with violent strikes -- where they get away with beatings, arson -- even murder.
The National Right to Work Act strikes at the foundations of the union bosses' power.And here's the thing -- the National Right to Work Act is wildly popular with American voters.
In fact, for years polls have shown nearly 80% of Americans think it should be against the law to force workers to pay money to union bosses just to get or keep a job.
All you and I have to do is force an up-or-down roll call vote on the National Right to Work Act ... And the American people will do the rest.
Many Democrats and more than a few Republicans elected with Big Labor's over $1 billion in forced-dues political cash cower in fear of casting a vote against the National Right to Work Act.
What will they do when forced to vote?
It's a win-win situation -- either they pass the National Right to Work Act and free American workers or they pay in 2012.
It will be a marathon battle.
But I will not flinch in the face of opposition and insider attacks.
I believe, with your help, this is a fight we will win.
And I know it's a fight worth fighting.
You see, the union bosses fear a vote on the National Right to Work Act more than just about anything else.
They know it's a losing proposition for them whether the bill passes or not.
The fact is for decades union officials have schemed to seize billions of dollars from their "members" and then used it to elect their candidates to protect these privileges.
We saw in Wisconsin last year how far the union bosses will go to protect their ill-gotten power.
This is how Washington -- from Jimmy Carter to Ted Kennedy to Bill Clinton to Nancy Pelosi to Barack Obama -- got to be what it is today.
The Obama Labor Board has taken this perversion of power to new heights, most notably in the outrageous complaint against Boeing for creating thousands of new jobs in Right to Work South Carolina.
The National Right to Work Act will turn this entrenched, corrupt Washington order on its head.
Every year Big Labor siphons over $8 BILLION from workers' paychecks; mostly from workers who, if they refused to pay, would be fired from their jobs.
Union bosses take this eye-popping heap of dough to feed a lifestyle of limousines, penthouses and raw political power.
And, my friend, Big Labor's political corruption costs all of us:
*Hundreds of billions of dollars in bailouts and bloated government spending suck the life out of our economy, rewarding failed businesses like GM and letting union-boss featherbedding and rigged contracts rocket the cost of schools, hospitals and roads through the roof.
*Millions more good-paying jobs destroyed or driven overseas as union czars cripple America's bedrock industries with wasteful work rules, hate-the-boss propaganda and violent strikes.
*You and all Americans robbed of your wealth as the economy stays in recession and the price of cars, gasoline and groceries climbs upwards.
*Small businesses strangled with red tape and bureaucracy designed by greedy union flunkies to kill companies too small for so-called union “organizing.”
That's why it's crucial you sign the petitions today and, if possible, make a generous contribution to the National Right to Work Committee.It's clear that if the Committee is to rally the 80% of Americans who support this bill they will need your financial support.
The National Right to Work Committee isn't some Johnny-come-lately organization. They've been on the front lines opposing Big Labor for over fifty years.
The National Right to Work Committee is spearheading the effort to rally the American people, just as I am leading the fight here in the Senate.
Without your support for the National Right to Work Committee, they have little chance against Big Labor's money and power in Congress.
That's why I ask you to submit your signed petition, along with the most generous contribution you can afford to the National Right to Work Committee.
In order to pass the National Right to Work Act, the National Right to Work Committee has drawn up an aggressive plan of action:
***Mobilize up to 14 million Americans to stand up for freedom by signing petitions like the one I link to in this email. Only when politicians feel the heat of the people, will they see the light of truth. That's what I meant when I asked you to be my sledgehammer.
***Place full-page newspaper ads and launch intense internet campaigns coast to coast, reminding the American people what Big Labor's power costs all of us in out-of-control government spending, sky-high taxes, a seemingly endless recession, lost jobs and rising prices.
***Inform favorable columnists, talk show hosts and editorial writers nationwide to help mobilize public opinion.
***Run TV and radio ads targeting, if funding permits, wavering Congressmen and Senators in the days leading up to key committee and floor votes.
Without your financial support, this program will not be possible.
And without this program Big Labor will stop the National Right to Work Act in Congress.
It's that simple.
Every dollar the National Right to Work Committee receives comes from Americans like you -- working folks, shopkeepers, business owners, retirees, farmers, engineers, delivery drivers, homemakers, grandmothers and grandfathers. Not one penny of their funding comes from government.
Some friends have already given as much as $1000 or $500 to help this campaign get going. A special few have given even more.
Many others have sacrificially given $100, $50 or even just $25 -- whatever they could afford.
I do not know what you can afford to give today, but this is too important not to ask ... and I hope too important for you not to contribute.
After you sign your petition, will you please chip in with a generous contribution of $25, $50, $100 or even $500 or more to the National Right to Work Committee?
I know the Committee can never hope to match Big Labor dollar-for-dollar. But they don't need to.
The American people overwhelmingly stand with you and me.
But the National Right to Work Committee must have the finances to reach out to the people and mobilize them in support of the National Right to Work Act. That's what it will take to beat Big Labor.
Your contribution of $50, $100 or $500 (or at least $25 or $35) along with your signed petition are key to this campaign.
Please do not delay signing the petition or think someone else will carry the load. I count on your support.
Sincerely,
Rand Paul, M.D.
U.S. Senator
P.S. Tea Party revolts and the election of real outsiders ready to shake up Congress means you and I have an historic opportunity to break the cycle of tax-and-spend, political corruption and out of control budgets caused by Big Labor's compulsory union power.
But you must strike now to make Congressmen and Senators choose between standing with the 80% of Americans who oppose forced unionism and Big Labor's multi-billion dollar political machine.
It will be an epic, historic battle and your support is critical.
Please sign the petition to your Congressman and Senators and make your most generous contribution of $500 or $100 -- or at least $50 or $25 -- whatever you can afford today.
