AFA's "Must Read" for the week of 6/13/07
Republicans' defense of President Bush's immigration bill is more enraging than their defense of Harriet Miers. Back then, Bush's conservative base was accused of being sexist for opposing an unqualified woman's nomination to the highest court in the land. Now we're racists for not wanting to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. I don't know why conservatives like Linda Chavez have to argue like liberals by smearing their opponents as racists. Oh wait, now I remember! Their arguments are as strong as liberals' arguments usually are. [more].
Should anyone remain at the real end of history to chronicle a list of humanity's worst systems for the benefit of any left to read it, the legacy of communism is sure to be at, or near, the top. That's why it is especially appropriate that in Washington, D.C., this week a Victims of Communism Memorial will be dedicated. [more]
Why TV Addiction Links to Liberalism Does heavy TV viewing push people toward more liberal opinions? Or is it the impact of pre-existing leftist attitudes that lead viewers to invest more of their lives on television?
Analysts may argue about causation, but there’s no real doubt about correlation: an important new study from the Culture and Media Institute shows that those who describe themselves as “heavy” TV viewers embrace distinctly liberal attitudes on a range of crucial issues, placing them well to the left of those who report “light” TV viewing.

Hot Topic of Immigration to Get House Hearing Tomorrow
Anyone who says there is no time for legislators to deal with a hot topic like protecting marriage is not paying attention to what is going on in the State House or how many different issues come up in each and every legislative session.
By the way, protecting our marriage laws through SJR 7 is only hot because a lot of frustrated Hoosiers want it and the Democrat House leadership is blocking it. Most other states have already amended their constitutions to protect their laws. (To be non-partisan, I very much think that the Republican leadership across the board in the entire Statehouse can, and should do more, to push the issue.)
Hoosiers are also rightly frustrated by the government's lack of action on the problem of illegal immigration. First-term Senator Mike Delph has certainly shaken things up this session with Senate Bill 335. Delph filed, then successfully pushed his bill through the Senate, in the face of some significant business opposition in a year when property taxes were supposed to be the dominant issue. This bill could prove to be just as big and as intense as most of the tax reform measures proposed this session.
SB 335 assesses penalties to businesses that do not take adequate steps to screen prospective employees before they hire them and it sets up penalties for businesses that recklessly or knowingly hire illegals. The Immigration bill (SB335) has been scheduled for a hearing before the House Public Policy Committee tomorrow, Wednesday, at 9 a.m. in the House Chambers.
Let them Know that Marriage Matters to Your Family
We have set up a new alert through our national office that you can use to send your State Representative an e-mail. With your zip code in less than a minute you can make your voice heard. Homosexual activists are planning a rally at the capitol (the second one in less than four months) calling for same-sex marriage. It is important that legislators hear from pro-family people who understand that marriage intentionally involves both a husband and a wife, a mother and a father.

"Welcome to Class Boys and Girls . . . and the Boy/Girl"
Here's some news from the weird and scary world in which we are living. In Highlands Ranch, Colorado, (interestingly where my sister lives and will probably home school my niece now) a male second grade student in the Douglas County public school system is going to return to school as a girl and demand to be treated as a girl by the school officials and his, or I mean, "her" peers.
Hoping to avoid the question "why were you in pants before and now wearing a dress," the school is making plans to accommodate the alleged "transgender" eight year old and to address "her" by "her" new name. The school is even arranging a unisex bathroom for the boy-in-girls-clothes to use.
Obviously, not all parents are "gay" about the news that they will now have to explain the subject of gender identity and cross-dressing with their pre-adolescent elementary school children. As one parent who would not give his full name to the media out of fear of being smeared as a bigot said, "I don't think a second grader has the rationale to decide this life-altering choice."
He is also upset with the way the school is handling this. (The district has been secretly preparing for the child's return to this school for months making up information packets about homosexuality and cross-dressing for parents.) He thinks other parents should have been made aware of this sooner. (Of course, had that happened, there might have been a mass exodus from the elementary school of parents trying to protect the innocence of their kids.) "I just find it ironic that they can dictate the dress style of children to make sure they don't wear inappropriate clothing, but they have no controls in place for someone wearing transgender clothing," said the concerned father.
I don't think this story needs much comment. Still, call me harsh, but I can't help but recall what the Lord said about causing children to stumble and the penalty for it on the day of judgment being worse than having a millstone tied around ones neck and being thrown into the ocean. Enough said.
