Saturday Shorts – 1-28-12

Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

 
Federal employees owe $1.03 billion in unpaid taxes ~ Our tax dollars pay their salaries, but they don’t feel obliged to contribute?
 
White Middle-Schooler Beaten Unconscious by Group of Black Students ~ Ocala, FL – Wrong color composition, doesn’t fit the msm narrative, move along…
Why in the world should color matter here? While riding the bus, seven kids pummeled this girl. Punching, kicking – apparently to the point of causing a seizure. The public has a right to be made aware of shocking displays of contemporary barbarism like this – whether the main-stream-media censors think so or not.

Attorney General Eric Holder famously said that we are “essentially a nation of cowards” in failing to discuss racial issues. If failing to discuss racial issues makes you a coward, I wonder what the attorney general would have to say about the local press in Ocala, FA, just for starters.

 
In sharp constrast to that school bus story, here’s a much more heartwarming one:
Tuesday in Philadelphia ~ Teen Grabs Wheel, Saves School Bus as Driver Has Heart Attack ~ Sadly, the driver ended up dying, but what a brave young woman. From the comments:

“In addition to the teen girl who steered the bus to safety, a teen boy got the younger students to the back of the bus so they wouldn’t be scared at the sight of the collapsed bus driver. He also led them in prayer for the bus driver. Amazing group of kids. So proud to have them as part of our church family.”

Washington’s Gay Marriage Bill: A Frontal Attack on Religious Freedom ~ The hidden agenda behind Washington States’ pending legislation (HB 2516/SB 6239). Subterfuge by the anti-God crowd.
 
What really happened in the Gingrich ethics case? ~ Aren’t you getting tired of all the negative spin on Newt these days? OK – the guy has his flaws, but he’s been demonized why out of proportion in this ’90’s ethics violation controversy. In his article, Byron York presents a measured, detailed look at the facts. In the end, Gingrich was exonerated.
 
Christians Carry a 12-Ft Cross for Miles to Protest Atheists’ Lawsuit Over TN Water Tower Cross ~ Onward Christian Soldiers!
