Stopped by a Sheriff's Deputy: "I was stopped by a policeman (a sheriff’s deputy, to be precise) who informed me that the little lights that illuminate my license plate were out. The officer didn’t give me a ticket, but he did take my driver’s license back to his car and run a check on me, to see if I had an arrest record. I don’t, so he let me go with a warning to get those lights fixed. No big deal, right?
But, if a police officer can run a background check on me, an American citizen, what on earth is wrong with a police officer running a background check on somebody who is stopped (for whatever reason) to verify legal residence? After all, that was the essence of Arizona’s SB 1070. Why is it OK to demand ID and run a background check on an American citizen, but it’s a horrible injustice to demand ID and run a background check on an illegal alien?"

Legalizing marijuana is civil rights issue, California NAACP says: "Legalizing marijuana is a civil rights issue, according to one of California's most prominent African-American advocacy groups. The California State Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, led by President Alice Huffman, recently announced its 'unconditional endorsement' for Proposition 19, a legislative initiative on the November ballot that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana in California. Huffman said African-Americans are disproportionately affected by the criminalization of marijuana which makes passing the law a civil rights issue." See Steps toward Global Mind Control
Top 10 Examples of NAACP Racism: "The rhetoric of Julian Bond, chairman of the NAACP from 1998 to 2000, exemplifies the organization’s migration from the mainstream to the extreme. In his words, Republicans are 'the white people’s party' and 'a crazed swarm of right-wing locusts.'” See Ban truth - Reap Tyranny

It's freedom of 'religion,' [not just freedom to "worship"]: "'While some may deem the words 'worship' and 'religion' to be synonymous, and thus interchangeable, they are most definitely not!' ...'The First Amendment of the United States Constitution uses the word 'religion' and states unequivocally that Congress cannot prohibit the 'free exercise' of said 'religion' ...'[Obama's] use of the word 'worship' implies that we have freedom ONLY within the confines of structures set aside for religious expression (i.e. churches, synagogues, etc.). This is not only a gross departure from the original intent of the First Amendment, but is also the first step toward eliminating faith expression in the public marketplace.'...

Clemency for the enemy, but not our soldiers? "This Memorial Day Weekend, Americans remember not only our fallen soldiers, but also soldiers currently fighting in hostile lands under atrocious conditions. But there's another duty upon us as Americans with a debt of gratitude to our armed forces. We must recognize the travesties of U.S. military justice that have tried, convicted, jailed and repeatedly denied clemency to all too many brave Americans, the same brave Americans who have fought our wars only to be unfairly charged with 'murder' in the war zone.

...recall the crushing conviction of Sgt. Evan Vela, a young Ranger-trained sniper and father of two from Idaho, for executing his superior's order to kill an Iraqi man who, at the time, had been compromising his squad's hiding place in pre-'surge' Iraq. Ten years in Fort Leavenworth, ordered not-so-blind justice. (There is evidence that Evan's harsh sentence was a blatant political sop to Iraq's government.)...And Evan Vela has all too many brothers-in-arms at Fort Leavenworth prison...."American commanders are informally releasing Taliban fighters on their own recognizance after they 'promise' not to fight jihad in the path of Allah again - or PC words to that effect. ... But no such clemency for our own. ....[S]ince January of this year, 200 alleged Taliban insurgents had been ...released from Bagram prison." See Ban Truth - Reap Tyranny

"Human rights" urged for whales and dolphins: "Whales and dolphins should get 'human rights' to life and liberty because of mounting evidence of their intelligence, a group of conservationists and experts in philosophy, law and ethics said Sunday.... Thomas White, director of the Center for Ethics and Business... [said], 'They have a sense of self [how would they know?] that we used to think that only human beings have.'"

Judge rules Christians have NO special rights as he throws out case of sex therapist who refused to work with gay couples: "In a landmark case, the appeal judge told relationship guidance counsellor Gary McFarlane, a Christian, that he had no right to refuse to give sex therapy to gay couples. And the judge delivered a scathing criticism of former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey, who spoke up for Christians who try to follow their beliefs."
Europe steps up pressure for smacking [spanking] ban on human rights grounds: "It is now one of only a handful of countries holding out against a complete ban on the practice, according to the Council of Europe. The organisation criticised the fact that state intervention into family affairs is seen as 'unwelcome' in Britain and attacked traditional parenting practices which are based on 'authority'. The intervention, which follows a series of failed attempts to impose a complete ban in Parliament, comes 10 years after European judges ruled that smacking could violate children’s human rights. Although corporal punishment has been banned in schools mild smacking is permitted in the home under a 'reasonable chastisement'..." How Human "Rights" Crush Individual Freedom

Court blasts city's ban on church bells: "The dispute heated up when Bishop Rick Painter of Christ the King was sentenced to jail and probation in June 2009 for violating the ordinance by ringing his church's bells."
Supreme Court to consider case against California law school: "The college, which requires officially recognized student groups to admit any Hastings student who wants to join, may be well-meaning, says the student outpost of the Christian Legal Society. But the group contends that requiring it to allow gay students and nonbelievers into its leadership would be a renunciation of its core beliefs, and that the policy violates the Constitution's guarantee of free speech, association with like-minded individuals and exercise of religion.... Martinez [acting chancellor]. said he has been asked if the school's policy means that a Jewish organization would have to allow a Nazi sympathizer to join, and his answer is yes. 'That's a necessary consequence of being nondiscriminatory.'" See Whose "rights" will rule in a "democratized" world?

The Human Rights set-up: "The victim is John Fulton, owner of the Downtown Health Club for Women in St. Catharines -Ontario, Canada]. In 2006, an individual dressed as a woman visited the club and applied for membership. The person then told Fulton, 'I’m really a guy'— a man planning to have a sex-change operation. With only one change room and shower room in the club, admitting this individual would have meant allowing a man to observe the other patrons — all female — in various stages of undress."
Muslim student adviser: Death penalty for 'gays' : "Devin Saucier, president of Vanderbilt's chapter of Youth for Western Civilization... wondered about the 'unholy alliance between Muslims and leftists – how could the latter, who fervently support multiculturalism, gay marriage, and gender equality, ally with the former, who support religious and cultural supremacy, traditional marriage, and the oppression of women?'
'"When I saw that the Muslim Students Association (MSA) was hosting an event titled 'Common Ground: Being Muslim in the Military' which was sponsored by the Project Dialogue committee, I knew it would be ripe grounds for me to expose the gullibility of leftists who grovel at the altars of tolerance and acceptance,' he wrote.
"...after the meeting a 'rather flustered girl' demanded to know why he asked the question....
"'I think my question was quite relevant, since there are a number of homosexuals in the military,' Saucier replied.... 'If I was a homosexual in the military, I would want to know if the religion of the person fighting next to me demands my death....'
'"Well I learned in Sunday school that Christianity condemns homosexuality too!' the girl said.
'"Yes, Christianity does consider homosexuality sinful, and Christians pray for homosexuals because of it, while Islamic law says they should be punished with death. See the difference?" he responded."
One "common ground" shared by the two groups would be a common hatred for Christianity.

Ad for 'reliable workers' banned as discrimination: [Ireland] "The text of the ad ended by stating that applicants for the post 'must be very reliable and hard-working.' But when Mamo called the Jobcentre the following day, she was told that her ad would not be displayed.... A Jobcentre worker claimed that the word 'reliable' meant they could be sued for discriminating against unreliable workers." See Cultural corruption

[UK] "Equality Bill" will hurt Churches: "The Bill... is being promoted as a way of consolidating earlier anti-discrimination legislation into a single law. Faith groups believe it will reduce the control they have over who to employ.... 'The trouble is that the Government is passing vague legislation and then saying 'well, the courts will sort it out.... Courts should not become the arena in which these issues are fought out.”
Secretary Clinton Explains U.S. "Pragmatic Policy" on Human Rights: "After side-stepping human rights concerns in China earlier this year, U.S. Secretary of State Clinton firmly outlined the current U.S. diplomatic position.... 'Principled pragmatism informs our approach on human rights, informs our approach with all countries, but particularly with key countries like China and Russia.'... ChinaAid President Bob Fu remains concerned about the implications of a U.S. hidden-negotiation approach to human rights concerns in China." See Trading U.S. Rights for UN Rules

Prison pays for sex change treatments: "Convicted wife-killer Robert 'Michelle' Kosilek was rebuffed again in his battle to force state prison honchos to give him electrolysis treatments, but a federal judge left the door open to the transgender con getting taxpayer-funded hair removal procedures....at a cost of $500 each. ... Wolf [the judge] criticized the DOC for its decision to stop electrolysis treatments for Kosilek, formerly of Mansfield, who lives as a woman at the all-male prison... Wolf said the move to stop the treatments ran 'a grave risk of violating the Eight Amendment,' which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment." See Moral, Spiritual & Cultural Corruption
Islamic nations want treaty to protect faith symbols: "Four years after cartoons of the prophet Muhammad set off violent protests across the Muslim world, Islamic nations are mounting a campaign for an international treaty to protect religious symbols and beliefs from mockery. It would essentially mean a ban on blasphemy that would put them on a collision course with free speech laws in the West.... Algeria and Pakistan have taken the lead in lobbying to eventually bring the proposal to a vote in the UN General Assembly."
Teen fights vaccination for sexually transmitted virus: "A teenager is entitled to an exemption from a federal requirement that she be given a vaccine against a sexually transmitted disease, because she is a Christian and holds the religious conviction that she must abstain from sex until marriage, according to a brief filed in support of her decision."

Obama signs 'hate-crimes' bill into law: "''This law is a grave threat to the First Amendment because it provides special penalties based on what people think, feel, or believe. ADF will be on the front line to defend those whose free speech or free exercise of religion rights are violated by this unconstitutional law and to ultimately overturn this attack on freedom.' Opponents point to cases in Canada and Sweden, where Christians have faced criminal prosecution for preaching that homosexual behavior is a sin. '...It paves the way for the criminalization of speech that is not deemed 'politically correct.... Hate crimes' laws fly in the face of the underlying purpose of the First Amendment, which was designed specifically to protect unpopular speech.'...

Shut up! U.S. sponsors plan to restrict free speech: [Notice the Orwellian language:] "A proposal sponsored by the Obama administration at the United Nations that purports to seek protection for 'freedom of opinion and expression' actually is a call for a worldwide crackdown on freedom of speech and a mandate for nations to ensure 'that relevant national legislation complies with … international human rights obligations' – a clear threat to the First Amendment.... It demands that all nations condemn and criminalize 'any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence.'
"...the issue is not about free speech at all but about installing international precedents to stifle any criticism of Islam.... 'The proclamation of the Gospel in Muslim countries has been called incitement of religious discrimination.'...
"The 57 member nations of the Organization of the Islamic Conference have lobbied for the 'anti-defamation' plan, which is based on the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam, since 1999. The Cairo declaration states 'that all rights are subject to Shariah law, and makes Shariah law the only source of reference for human rights.'"

Obama Declares War on Free Speech: "The Obama Administration has now actually co-sponsored an anti-free speech resolution at the United Nations. Approved by the U.N. Human Rights Council last Friday, the resolution, cosponsored by the U.S. and Egypt, calls on states to condemn and criminalize 'any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence.'...
"
'Incitement' and 'hatred' are in the eye of the beholder -- or more precisely, in the eye of those who make such determinations. The powerful can decide to silence the powerless by classifying their views as 'hate speech.'"
The resolution also condemns 'negative stereotyping of religions...,' which is of course an oblique reference to accurate reporting about the jihad doctrine and Islamic supremacism...."But we still have the First Amendment, right? ...'If the U.S. backs a resolution that urges the suppression of some speech,' he explains, 'presumably we are taking the view that all countries -- including the U.S. -- should adhere to this resolution."

Regulatory chief: Adult dog more 'rational' than baby: "President Obama's newly confirmed administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has several times quoted approvingly from an author who likened animals to slaves and argued an adult dog or a horse is more rational than a human infant and should therefore be granted similar rights. ... The Senate today confirmed Sunstein as Obama's nominee for 'regulatory czar,' overcoming months of delay due to Republican concerns that he would push a radical animal-rights agenda."

Quangos... veto ‘racist’ everyday phrases: "Among the everyday sayings that have been quietly dropped in a bid to stamp out racism and sexism are 'whiter than white', 'gentleman's agreement', 'black mark' and 'right-hand man'. The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission has advised staff to replace the phrase 'black day' with 'miserable day', according to documents released under freedom of information rules. It points out that certain words carry with them a 'hierarchical valuation of skin colour'. The commission even urges employees to be mindful of the term 'ethnic minority' because it can imply 'something smaller and less important'." See Reinventing the World Part 3: Global Standards
Charter school's use of Bible ignites public firestorm: "'The U.S. Supreme Court has held in many cases that public schools may teach about religion, including the Bible or other Scripture,' Moffett told the Press-Tribune. 'The Court has also held that public schools may use the Bible in the study of history, civilization, ethics, comparative religion or the like.'" See Ban Truth - Reap Tyranny
