A warning for parents of Girl Scouts
Chuck Colson exposes Planned Parenthood ties to the Girl Scouts in this online article.
There is nothing too depraved for Planned Parenthood. Their sex guide for girls, Healthy, Happy, and Hot, teaches “there is no right way or wrong way to have sex. Just have fun, explore and be yourself.”
It also tells girls that “some people have sex when they have been drinking alcohol or using drugs. This is your choice.” Clearly, nothing is off limits—even for children below the age of consent.
You should also go to one of their websites, www.takecaredownthere.org, and see for yourself what Planned Parenthood encourages teens to do with each other. Check out the video clip “I didn’t spew.” It’s pretty gross.
This should be enough to convince any Christian parent to seek an alternative. To help us combat Planned Parenthoods demonic agenda, please click here.
It ain’t over yet, cuz I ain’t dead yet.
I’m starting a list of lessons learned. Please suggest your own via comment.
- There’s no such thing as a “pro-life” Democrat. The pro-life side is in conflict with the Democrat side; the Democrat side wins almost every time. One example is Lincoln Davis, who campaigned for pro-abort Harold Ford in 2008 and was listed as “undecided” on ObamaCare in the days leading up to the vote.
- There are very few Democrats left in DC. There are plenty of Democrats out in the country, but very few still in Congress. The Democratic Party has now morphed into a party led by Alinsky-ites. People like Harry Truman, John Kennedy, Scoop Jackson, etc., would not recognize the Party they have become. If you don’t know who Saul Alinsky is, you need to educate yourself. Read his book, Rules for Radicals. Alinsky was an atheist who rejected any objective standard for right and wrong. Any means for achieving the “greater good for the most people,” whatever they deem that to be, is acceptable. His moral authority is none other than Vladimir Lenin, killer of millions. (See chapter 2 of Rules for Radicals)
- Dems were lying all along when they claimed to have the votes to defeat ObamaCare. The final tally shows they didn’t have the votes until Stupak and 4 or 5 others caved. For Alinsky-ites, lying is a tactic. One lie is to always portray their plans as being a “done deal” as a way of disheartening their enemies. We weren’t fooled by this, but Mr. Stupak was.
- The coming months will demonstrate that no matter how much the Alinsky-ites (and liberals generally) get, it’s never enough. They want more. Harry Reid has already announced their intentions to finalize the destruction of private health care and replace it with a government system. If you oppose them, you hate poor people, you hate minorities, you hate immigrants, etc. They will never be satisfied until they control every aspect of American life, especially who gets what. The best way to manipulate people’s voting behavior is to control what they get to earn, keep, and buy. (For example, “Those evil Republicans want to take away your Social Security, your medical care, etc.) The irony is that they want to take away your health care with a single payer system that allows them to give back to you whatever they think you should have.
- You can never compromise with Alinsky-ites. They are not interested in compromise. They are interested in re-making America (a really bad place, in their minds) into their vision of what America should be. They must be defeated.
- We have allowed our young people to grow up ignorant of the American traditions of freedom and capitalism. These are inseparable, because you don’t have freedom if the government controls your economic life. Freedom means more than choosing which TV to buy. Our generation grew up under creeping socialism and saw the results of it in the 1970s (high inflation, high interest rates, high unemployment). We also saw how Ronald Reagan restored the principles of limited government in the 1980s, setting off a 28-yr period of unprecedented economic growth and prosperity. Our children, nieces, and nephews didn’t see all of that. They don’t learn about the Reagan Revolution in government schools. People have asked me, “What can we do now?” My answer: give your sons, daughters, nieces, and nephews a history lesson.
- If you doubt the serious mess we are in, take a look at Europe. High taxes suppress economic activity, with the predictable result of chronic unemployment. Europeans have very little confidence in the future, as evidenced by their fertility rate (less than 2 per woman, well under the break-even rate). The exception is the population of Muslims in these countries, who are having children at a rate of more than 8 per couple. They are not assimilating into Western culture; they are maintaining their Islamic culture. When their numbers are sufficient to control elections and institute Sharia Law, what will that do for human rights? What about women’s rights? Demographic experts have estimated that Germans will be a minority in their own country in 5o years.
- Alinsky-ites have a problem with declining numbers among the voting population in the US. Liberals they tend to have fewer children than conservatives. Their most dependable voting group is African Americans, but the population of African Americans is actually on the decline. (Many Planned Parenthood abortion centers are located in African American neighborhoods.) Their solution to this problem is to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens and promise them a wide range of free goodies out of the public treasury in exchange for their political allegiance. They will decry any attempt to stop this plan as motivated by hate (e.g., hate against people of color).
- This ain’t over yet. Never give up. The biggest lie they have is the lie that they own us and we can’t do anything about it. Never give up.

Why we have a chance to defeat ObamaCare
Check out this analysis by Michael Barone.
To summarize his major points, a fairly large number of Democrats (especially the thirty-seven who opposed ObamaCare in November) represent districts in which the bill is unpopular to wildly unpopular. Forty-five of their districts went for John McCain. Mr. Obama and Mrs. Pelosi are whipping these congress-people to go to the wall for ObamaCare but their constituents are pounding them to pull the plug on ObamaCare.
We don’t have to get the “undecided” Members to announce their opposition to ObamaCare, we just have to keep them from pledging to support ObamaCare. And in that pursuit we have the tactical advantage of trying to get these guys to do what comes naturally to them: The cowardly thing! Nothing at all! They just want this to go away without having to vote “no” and getting punished by Mr. Obama and Mrs. Pelosi, or “yes” and losing their seats. If enough of them stick together and refuse to commit, vote counter Rep. Jim Clyburn (the Dem Whip in the House) can’t tell Mrs. Pelosi that she is now within the six or so vote deficit that would embolden her to bring the bill to the floor and then water-board the weakest half-dozen resisters till they caved. Mrs. Pelosi thinks she can brow-beat five of these guys into submission with the question called and the vote board open but she knows she can’t brow-beat twenty-five. And she doesn’t want to risk a very humiliating, televised (C-SPAN) defeat. That is why Mr. Clyburn (who, remember, is the guy actually counting these votes) says the vote could slip till after Easter.
Every day we can keep the “undeclared” from “declaring” worsens the odds for Mrs. Pelosi because there is limit to how long even she and Mr. Obama can tie up the entire mechanism of government on this bill. Our trucks and planes clearly foster indecision and as an obscure Air Force Colonel once observed, “He triumphs who merely escapes defeat till his adversary runs out of gas – or becomes progressively more spooked by the scary mid-term elections which are coming nearer by the day.” Delay is our friend. It should be the real focus of our prayer.
Please keep praying. Try fasting too. And please keep calling, e-mailing, facebooking, and twittering (see posting below).
Stop pro-abortion ObamaCare – Update
In a previous post, I gave you a list of 30 US Congressmen to call (list repeated below). Some of you have experienced difficulties getting through. Some strategies:
- Call the local offices, not just the DC offices.
- Call them after hours, when fewer people are trying to call, and leave a clear message on the answering machine.
- Contact them by e-mail, if you can.
- Contact them through their facebook pages. This has the added advantage of not being screened out because you live in another district.
- Contact them through Twitter. Send them a “tweet.” This has the added advantage of not being screened out because you live in another district.

My interview with Barbara Dooley
My interview with Barbara Dooley (regarding the Tebow Super Bowl advertisement) is up. I taped this interview a couple of weeks ago, but it was actually played today.
Tebow Ad … Focus on the Family Speaks
Here’s what Focus on the Family had to say on the outcome of their Super Bowl ad. Several points:
- The dialogue between mother and son could have been uttered just as easily by a pro-choice mother and son.
- Anything stronger than that would probably not have been allowed by CBS.
- The purpose of the campaign was never meant to change people from pro-choice to pro-life. If that were the case, Focus would have included access to abortion imagery somewhere on their website. Or at least, they would have included some prenatal development video.
- The purpose of the add was two-fold. First, to communicate a wonderful pro-family message to millions of people. Kudos to both Focus and to Google for that. Google’s French Love Story ad was actually my favorite.
- Second was to get the attention of donors and potential donors. That’s not a criticism of Focus. They are no different from CBR; we need funding to operate. Standing on my head will not convert anybody, but I’d do it if it would help us get more funding for saving babies and moms. The more attention the better. I hope Focus got their $2.5 million back, many times over.
- The pro-aborts just walked into the Focus trap for several weeks. The attention they brought to Focus was worth way more than the ad itself! Then, after it was over, they compounded their error by stating that the ad promoted violence against women. More attention for Focus
After the ad, talk-show host Barbara Dooley interviewed me for her radio program. Click here for the interview.
Best comment on Tebow ad … from a pro-choice columnist!
Sally Jenkins, a pro-choice columnist, had this to way on the Tebow ad:
I’m pro-choice, and Tebow clearly is not. But based on what I’ve heard in the past week, I’ll take his side against the group-think, elitism and condescension of the “National Organization of Fewer and Fewer Women All The Time.” For one thing, Tebow seems smarter than they do.
Tebow has a right to express his beliefs publicly. Just as I have the right to reject or accept them after listening — or think a little more deeply about the issues. If the pro-choice stance is so precarious that a story about someone who chose to carry a risky pregnancy to term undermines it, then CBS is not the problem.
You can read the entire column here.
Tim Tebow ads — What was the point?
I saw the first Tebow ad last night and watched the second on the Focus on the Family website this morning. Could somebody please tell me the point of these ads? Was it only to get a few curious people to visit the Focus website? Was there something I missed? I just don’t get it. Can I get your input? I saw nothing that pro-choicers should complain about, nothing the that pro-lifers could get excited about, and nothing that anyone else would be curious about. Seemed like a wast of $2.6 million. What do you think? I’ll amend this post with your best comments.
Most pro-life ad? Gotta be Google’s French Love Story.
P.S. This question has created quite a stir over at VolChat. Check it out!
A new pro-life blog
What the world really needs is another blog … mine! This blog is all about what interests ME! Which is probably what interests YOU, … otherwise you wouldn’t be here. Here are some of the topics that we will talk about:
- I’m the Southeast Director of the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR), so we’ll talk about pro-life stuff. Go look at www.ProLifeOnCampus.com.
- Government is important to all of us, so we’ll talk about political stuff, particularly as it relates to the pro-life movement.
- I’m a die-hard SEC football fan, but we can’t talk about that here. Compared to abortion and politics, SEC football is way too controversial. Perhaps we can talk about the Western Division, because I don’t have many supporters over there yet, so I don’t care if I offend them. But as soon as people in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama start writing checks to ProLifeOnCampus.com, we’ll have to cut it out.
Yes, abortion is a very serious issue. What it does to children, women, men, and families is no joke. But in a world full of tragedy, we will try to find a bit of humor. We will joke about life, love, politics, and (most of all) ourselves. Sarcasm and flippancy are two of my spiritual gifts, and you will find them on display here.
This blog is my own. The opinions expressed herein do not necessarily represent those of CBR, its management, its principals, its employees, or the boss’s wife.
This blog is also about what interests YOU — why else would you visit? — so I want to do something a bit different for YOU. Each week, I want to answer one question about the pro-life issue, government, sports, or whatever. I’ll talk to my web guys about setting that up. You submit the questions; and each week I’ll pick out one question to answer in a blog post. I’m hoping you will ask questions about the pro-life movement (apologetics, strategy, current events, etc.), but I’ll take questions on politics, sports, or whatever. But keep in mind that questions of interest to more people will have a higher chance of getting selected.
There will be a place to comment on each blog post. Here are the rules for commenting:
- It is my blog so I will put up or take down whatever I want.
- I don’t mind dissenting opinion but keep it clean, respectful and on topic.
- Constructive criticism is welcome, but if all you have is insults or you like to go overboard, save it and put it up on your own blog because it won’t go up here.
- If you go overboard, I won’t add to your comment but I may edit out what is excessively. offensive and put up the rest. If you can not control yourself I will ban you.
- Constructive criticism is welcome on bills I am talking about.
- If you want your comment to be off the record, just send a message to me from www.ProLifeOnCampus.com.
