Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Former Abortion Clinic Owner: We Pushed Sex Ed on Kids to Create a Market for Abortion ~ Interesting admission from a Texas woman confirms something many have suspected all along – although stunning in the details. Carol Everett is now a Christian who started a foundation to help women and girls facing crisis pregnancies.
End the War on Racism ~ Excellent essay by Daniel Greenfield – aka – Sultan Knish. America’s post-modern its’s-all-relative worldview hinders our ability to actually deal with reality – and will eventually be our downfall.
2+2=What? Parents rail against Common Core math ~ Convoluted curriculum seems deliberately designed to frustrate younger children and dumb-down older ones ~
Stanford University mathematician James Milgram calls the reform math-inspired standards a “complete mess” […]
“You are asking teachers to teach something that is incredibly complicated to kids who aren’t ready for it,” said Milgram, who voted against the standards as part of the committee that reviewed them. “If you don’t think craziness will result, then you’re being fundamentally naive.”
Are Christians losing the battle for traditional marriage?
Well, Notre Dame seems to have surrendered ~ Notre Dame refuses to recognize pro-marriage student group. (Is the country’s “premier Catholic University” even Catholic anymore?)
And progressive deconstructionism has reached the point of insanity on the Left Coast ~ California moves to let gay men cite selves as ‘mother’ on birth records; lesbians as ‘father.’ 😯
But at least this story, from my state of Michigan, is encouraging…
Decrying gay marriage, black pastors join legal fight (This is on the USA Today site; seems the rest of the media is pretty much ignoring it) ~
Representing potentially millions of worshippers in the state, the Michigan Catholic Conference, the Thomas More Law Center in Ann Arbor, Mich., and a national coalition of Baptists, Lutherans, Mormons and evangelicals led by Catholic bishops filed three separate briefs Wednesday in the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati. The briefs back Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette in his efforts to defend the state’s voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, which was overturned earlier this year by a federal judge in Detroit.
Shocking new study: relaxing marijuana laws leads to… increased marijuana consumption ~ Which in turn leads to an increase in abuse and dependency.
Yeah, who saw that one coming? 
Welcome To The NFL: National Fascist League ~ A nation founded on freedoms – of religion, and speech, will very soon have neither ~
When fascism arose in America it came wrapped in a rainbow flag and banning a cross. Men used to turn to the sports page to escape from news, business, and “Cultural Insider.” People could escape in movies or sports but now, both entities have been dragged into the PC gutter. Apart from the movie theater and the sports arena, there really is no modern escape for the typical man. Yet, isn’t that exactly how Orwell foresaw it?
St. Louis French Hospital opens its doors for a brief gaze upon ornate paintings and statues of chivalric seals, crests and saints ~ In Jerusalem, a fleeting glimpse of some rare artifacts from the Crusades. Amazing (miraculous?) that these works have survived for so many centuries in that corner of the Middle East.
Saudis Protest Camel Kissing Ban by Kissing Camels ~ Kind of a hoot – except that there’s a good chance they’re helping spread the deadly MERS (Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome) virus.
