Lawlessness & Violence.
The Slaughter on the Southern
Border: "At a joint
press conference with Mexican President Felipe Calderon last year, President
Obama vowed to make ending border violence a 'top priority.' How’s that
hope and change working out? Drug-related crime is out of control, the State
Department is warning spring-break vacationers to avoid the Mexican states
of Durango, Coahuila and Chihuahua... A young American consulate worker
and her unborn baby were slain this weekend in Mexico... The wanton murders
appear to have been a coordinated drug cartel hit....The State Department
has now authorized the evacuation of dependents of U.S. personnel in six
Mexican cities....
"Acapulco
saw at least 13 murdered over the past week — including four beheadings.
The total death toll over the past three years is nearing 20,000.
Mexican government officials have been quite content to blame their neighbors...
to demand blanket amnesty for illegal aliens from their country trying to
flee the violence and misery; and to collect massive infusions of U.S. aid
that have fallen into the wrong hands."

States give inmates access to personal
data of others: "Prisons
in eight states let convicts work in jobs that give them access to Social
Security numbers and other personal information for the public, despite
years of warnings that the practice should end.... The work often involves
entering and processing data on documents such as student transcripts,
tax files, and health care and labor claims forms."
Education.
Texas kicks liberal bias out
of textbooks: "For
years, liberals have imposed their revisionist history on our nation's public
school students, expunging important facts and historic figures while loading
the textbooks with liberal propaganda, distortions and cliches.... 'The
self-identified 'experts' are alumni of liberal teachers colleges and/or
members of a left-wing teachers union.
" In
most states, the liberal education establishment enjoys total control
over the state's board of education, department of education and curriculum
committees. Texas is different -- the Texas State Board of Education
is elected, and the people (even including parents!) have a voice.
"Texas is uniquely important
in textbook content because the state of Texas is the largest single purchaser
of textbooks. Publishers can hardly afford to print different versions for
other states, so Texas curriculum standards have nationwide influence....
"Schoolchildren will
no longer be misled into believing that capitalism and the free market are
dirty words and that America has an unjust economic system. Instead, they
will learn how the free-enterprise system gave our nation and the world
so much that is good for so many people....
"The liberals want to
teach what's wrong with America (masquerading under the code word "social
justice") instead of what's right and successful....
"History textbooks that
deal with Joseph McCarthy will now be required to explain 'how the later
release of the Venona papers confirmed suspicions of Communist infiltration
in U.S. government.' The Venona papers are authentic transcripts of some
3,000 messages between the Soviet Union and its secret agents in the
United States.... Discussions of economics will not be limited to
the theories of Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes.... Textbooks
must also include Milton Friedman and Friedrich von Hayek, two champions
of free-market theory." See

Hacker Disables More Than 100
Cars Remotely: "More
than 100 drivers in Austin, Texas found their cars disabled or the horns
honking out of control, after an intruder ran amok in a web-based vehicle-immobilization
system normally used to get the attention of consumers delinquent in their
auto payments."
Government Control & Tyranny.
Obama surrenders gulf oil to
Moscow: "The Obama
administration is poised to ban offshore oil drilling on the outer continental
shelf until 2012 or beyond. Meanwhile, Russia is making a bold strategic
leap to begin drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico....From Russia's perspective,
this is another way to gain leverage inside what traditionally has been
America's sphere of influence."
Persecution.
Update: Christian sentenced
to prison; believers heavily fined in Uzbekistan:
"Members of the Council of Churches Baptists in Uzbekistan have faced
prison sentences and fines in recent weeks for refusing state registration,
citing fears that it could lead to interference from the state. Unregistered
religious activity in the country is banned, as is evangelizing, publishing
unapproved religious literature, and attending religious meetings in
private homes."
Does this sound like America? Last week we wrote about Gilbert, Arizona.
Now it's happening in Southern California!
Persecution?
AGAIN!
City orders Bible study closed:
"A southern California city has ordered a Friday night Bible study involving
about a dozen people to shut down its meetings by Good Friday or members
could face financial sanctions. Or they could apply to purchase an expensive
permit from the city government.
"The
new case is similar to a dispute last week in Gilbert, Ariz., and another
last year in San Diego County. Now, in Rancho Cucamonga... the city is targeting
a Bible study for banishment, and officials say they are 'not budging.'...
'"According
to their definition a family praying over their dinner would qualify
as a church.'...The precedent that would be created should the rule
stand... should alarm religious people across the nation. 'When you step
back and look at communist China, home churches are being persecuted there.
This isn't any different. And this isn't even a church, just a Bible study,
facing the same ultimatums, the same demands as in communist China."

Banned by the US Postal Service!:
"The following letter was part of a FRI mailing that was rejected by a US
Postal Inspector for being 'obscene' and for inciting 'forcible resistance
against the government.' The mailing also included our February 2010 newsletter,
discussing ‘gays in the military.’ FRI believes the reaction of the Postal
Service is both unwarranted and unfounded....
"Staff: This letter is in response
to your shocking statement last week that you advocate homosexuals openly
serving in the military services. I seriously question the wisdom of your
position… I am a retired Navy Captain…" See

Obamacare: Driving Doctors Out
of Medicine: "A survey–published
in the New England Journal of Medicine!, not a conservative blog
site–found that huge numbers of doctors worry they will be forced–or will
want–to leave medicine if Obamacare passes. From the story: ...'46.3% of
primary care physicians (family medicine and internal medicine) feel that
the passing of health reform will either force them out of medicine or make
them want to leave medicine.'"
Toward Global Socialism.
Not again! Meet Obama's new
controversial pastor:
"Rev. Jim Wallis, a member of President Obama's 'faith council' who is described
as a spiritual adviser to the president, is a socialist activist who has
championed communist causes and previously labeled the U.S. 'the
great captor and destroyer of human life.'... Wallis' magazine actively
lobbied for communist regimes that seized power in Latin America in the
late 1970s, including the Sandinista dictatorship in Nicaragua.
"Wallis continues to openly support socialism. Along with socialist activist
West, Wallis in 1995 founded Call to Renewal, a coalition of religious
groups demanding the spread of U.S. wealth to promote 'social justice.'"

Why Team Obama thrives on creating
crises: "The Obama
administration's primary mode of governance is literally to create crises
where none actually exist. ...anyone even superficially familiar with the
history of the political left has heard references to the strategy of creating
crises as a means of transforming society. You've probably heard of the
'Hegelian dialectic,'
a key Marxist technique....
" A
crisis throws us off our guard, upsets us and inclines us to make decisions
and accept 'solutions' we normally would reject. Politically, the strategy
is to create a crisis, or exploit a real one, by throwing people
into a mode where they can be redirected toward a predetermined 'solution'
– whether it's imposing 'carbon penalties' on businesses in response to
fears of global warming or draconian gun-control laws in response to a rash
of school shootings.
"We're
talking about solutions that people would normally reject, but now in a
crisis accept, and as a result establish a new baseline of what is normal
– which becomes the starting point for pushing the nation still further
leftward in response to the next 'crisis.'
"The
radical environmental movement's primary modus operandi – from top
to bottom – is the creation of crises where none exist."
