Boy Scouts Cave: Accept Openly Homosexual Boys

Boy Scouts Cave: Accept Openly Homosexual Boys

As a former Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Explorer Scout I angrily mourn this cultural evolution.

Another  American Central Tradition has been destroyed by the pernicious forces of liberal/ “progressive’ social chaos.

The Scouting organization has not yet capitulated to openly homosexual Scout Leaders, but I suspect that will be the next decrimental misstep that they take.

The facts are that individuals of Boy Scout age are often not sexually mature in their identities, or so-called ”orientations”, and they can be easily predated by homosexuals. This is true whether the homosexuals be other adults or other youth. To bring this certain increased developmental influence into the traditions of the Boy Scout culture is a profound disgrace to all that it has stood for.

Late at night, deep in the dark forests of this Nation,  Scout Masters will have no idea of what is going on in their little circles of  pup tents….Dark and private tents ,which will now be populated with openly homosexual youth and sexually inexperienced naive potential converts.

The dumb asses are now fostering the increased occurrence of homosexual behavior in America.

Please Read the following article by Tony Perkins of Washington Update.

For Scouts, a Badge of Dishonor

After two decades of bitter back and forth, one of the last strongholds for morality in America finally buckled. Late this afternoon, despite a relentless push by Scouts in every state, the National Council exchanged a century-old legacy for a false compromise that puts an American tradition on the pathway to extinction. After 103 years of principled leadership, the organization proved that it was incapable of the same kind of courage it’s been instilling in American boys since the beginning of the 1900s. By a lopsided vote, delegates ushered into the Boy Scouts a new era of moral compromise, allowing homosexual boys and turning against a majority of members in the process.

It took strong-arm tactics, political sharks, and corporate harassment, but the national leadership of the BSA finally succeeded in forcing through a piece of policy that robs the Scouts of its innocence. And now, by opening the door to gay young people, legal experts say it’s only a matter of time before the rule on homosexuality extends to everyone–including adults. Almost immediately, BSA councils, Scouting parents, and leaders of the faith-based organizations that charter more than two-thirds of the packs and troops will have to decide how to respond to this decision, which obligates every unit “regardless of their religious convictions” to comply. In the last 12 months, BSA’s official estimates show as many as 400,000 boys will leave the BSA as a result, devastating the Scouts financially and leaving them very few options legally.

In the meantime, Councils that believed the lie that this was just about the youth are about to find out that the fight for the Scouts is just beginning. “The Boy Scouts of America will not sacrifice its mission, or the youth served by the movement,” a BSA statement read, “by allowing the organization to be consumed by a single, divisive, and unresolved societal issue.” Unfortunately for them, that sacrifice was already made in today’s tragic decision. Now we must stand with the troops across America who remain committed to the guiding principles of scouting that have helped millions of young boys successfully make the journey to manhood.

An Honest, Courageous, Practical-Minded Politician: Paul Rand

An Honest, Courageous, Practical-Minded Politician: Paul Rand

I have a psychologist friend who asserts that it is not the individual, but the system of rewards and punishments that creates virtue or bad behavior. Think about it..does the individual corrupt the system, or does the system corrupt the individual?

The facts are that there is plenty of evidence to conclude that the influences go both ways. Systems can corrupt individuals and individuals can corrupt systems.

Think of the individuals who have stood on core-principles against powerful, even lethal forces, that commanded and coerced the changed behavior of average individuals; but failed when they encountered the man or woman of rigorous moral principle, who would not break.

Few human’s are beyond all forces of corruption and no one I have ever know is perfect, by any standard one might wish to apply.

However, the world has seen countless great leaders of vision, who never gave up their goals and aspirations in the face of great incentives to do so.  We do not have to strain to recall some of them: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Harry Truman, Thoreau, Martin Luther, Golda Meir, Joan of Arch, Plato, and many more from American and world history. Also, do we not know individuals in our own lives, never perfect, but so dedicated to particular goals in their lives that they could not be dissuaded by resistance or criticism? Perhaps you are one.

I believe my psychologist friend has overstated his case. Perhaps the following video is an example of one of many exceptions that he has overlooked…perhaps not..but we shall see.

We are now witnessing what strong and immoral political leadership in the form of President Obama and his appointees have accomplished.

I pray for new strong and moral leadership in America.

Please see what may be an example of such leadership. Watch this short video.

Obama: I Told You So #4

Obama: I Told You So #4

On February 12, 2012, I posted the following blog.

I urge you to read the text and view the following video. The truth about our Commander and Chief-Destroyer of America is plain to see.

Current scandalous events confirm that which informed citizens have always known about our current President. He is a ruthless radical revolutionary who will stop at nothing to destroy Free America.

The following video is of Andrew Breitbart, who is now dead. In this video he is telling the truth about our President Obama and his party politics. I have carefully researched his allegations which actually pale in the light of current documented examples of Obama’s cheating, lies and deceptions in the service of his dismantling of America’s socioculture.

In the light of a flood of new revelations of corruption in the Obama Administration, I am convinced was spot-on correct.

I believe that the election of President Obama is one of the greatest mistakes America has ever made.

Obama’s “Saul Alinsky Bull-Shit Tactics”!

Lets get one thing straight from the start. I normally do not use such expletives as you find in my title for today’s entry in my blog.

But I am happy to let someone else do it for me. This is the characterization of President Obama’s political tactics by Mr. Andrew Breibart, who is now the conservative movement’s answer to the Left’s current ”slash and burn” warfare on America. He reminds me of the Abby Hoffman, of old,. But Breitbart is on the right side. Yes, the pun was intended.

Breitbart is an interesting guy. You will remember that he is the one who exposed ACORN for the revolutionary destructive force in America, that it really is. He is the one who rubbed our noses in the fact that Obama and ACORN have slept in the same bed and are still “text-message loving words” to each other.

The video below is almost too hot to handle.

Take a look, if you are you ready for a shot of tabasco sauce!

Milton Friedman on Freedom vs. Tyranny and Misery

Milton Friedman on Freedom vs. Tyranny and Misery

The following it is a precious presentation by economist Milton Friedman on Freedom vs. Tyranny and Misery: A marvelous, short primer on the psychology of conservative economics and why it works so well.

When he addresses disastrous governmental spending, he attributes it to good people wishing to do good things for others.

I will not be so charitable. Governmental officials too commonly seek power in dispensing the goods, services, and money of others. These goods, services, and monies are coerced (in the name of fairness) from productive citizens and given to the politician’s growing dependent voting constituency.

Another reason I will not be so charitable is that socialism is an anathema to free societies. It kills them without fail. President Obama is a progressive socialist and will stop at nothing (see Rules for Radicals, by Saul Alinsky) to “transform America” to that form of tyrannical misery. To give him a pass on this, because he “means well”, is similar to advocating the bleeding of sick patients because they have high fevers. Similarly; progressivism, socialism, and communism are ignorant treatments that kill the patient.

My readings inform me this is practice of dispensing largess to gain political power and control dates back to the oldest of recorded times.

Friedman argues that this is one of the factors that limits successful sociocultures to lives not much longer than 150 to 200 years, before their decline.

The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable.

You must watch this video and send it to everyone you know and care about.

Sex Problems in the Military: I Told You So #3

Sex Problems in the Military: I Told You So #3

As a psychologist in training, I was taught that there is no such thing as human nature.

Well, my teachers were wrong in an important way.

While they are correct that an assessment of the forms that human behavior, around the world, reveals amazing variability, psychological principles and the basic biology of homosapiens rule.

It is in the predictable nature of known interactions of these psychological principles and our biological tendencies, that human nature manifests itself.

In past blogs, I have strenuously objected to mixing the sexes on board ships, submarines, in close combat, and in training facilities, etc. I hope you will read some of these blogs to see my logic and the trouble for our military and our society that I predicted.

It was against our human nature to do so without big trouble.

U.S. Military Criticized About Sex Cases

Well, who would have ever imagined that? Sexual misconduct in the military!

It does not take a Ph.D. in psychology to understand and predict the results of putting women with horny young men under close-quarter, high stress conditions like intense combat zones, on Naval surface ships, and in submarines. Who on earth would be surprise by the occurrence of cases of sexual harassment (and allegations of same), consensual sex and actual pregnancies) as well as actual rapes. Also, throw flagrantly gay/lesbians into the thick fog of estrogen and androgen and what do you think will happen?

In an Associated Press article, published in the South Bend (In) Tribune on March 14, 2013, Donna Cassata and Richard Lardner documented the perfectly predictable outcome of our newly hetero/homo sexualized American Military.

Why do you think that historically, our military has worked to keep its women and men reasonably isolated from one another? Also, why do you think our military has also excluded professed homosexuals from its ranks, male and female.

The following quote is from the March 14th article:

“In a stinging rebuke of the military’s efforts to curb sexual assault, members of the Senate panel hammered Defense Department officials on Wednesday for making too little progress in combating the crimes and failing to improve a military justice system that victims describe a s slow ind uncaring.”

Amid Federal cuts to our military budgets, comes the irate insistence that we wage war on two, perhaps soon to be three or four fronts…maybe the world!

And now comes the following:

“What we need is a military with a fair and impartial criminal justice system, one that is run by professional and legal experts, not unit commanders,” said sergeant Rebekha Haverilla who was reported to have been raped while in the Army.

I certainly wish justice for Ms. Haverilla. But, her tragedy does not mask the fact that America is electing to maladaptively create a plethora of citizen and military behavior problems and then make debilitating sacrifices to generate solutions to the self-manufactured conduct problems, that are unlikely work.

As a Nation, we are defeating ourselves on many fronts. This particular self-defeat involves taking the greatest military machine in the world, designed to destroy our enemies, and warping it into a giant feckless “tail-chase” of military hetero/homo sexual legal cases.

Wake-Up America!

Women In Combat: It’s Hard To Be Me!

Ok, I am 70 yrs. old and I don’t fit-in to our “progressive culture” anymore. It would be easy to accuse me of being an old fogey, deeply entrenched in the culture of the 1940′s and 50′s, mindlessly stuck in the past and unable accept change.

I will agree with the latter assertion, but not the former one. I crave change in America that works. Change that is not maladaptive and self-destructive to our collective ability to live long and well. I deplore cultural metapsychopathology.

In the past, I have argued against openly homosexual men and women (I will not use the cute pop term “gay”) in the our military . I have also argued against placing women on submarines (having been a submariner, I will assert an intimate understanding of the trouble that this will cause). I hope you will search my blog archives to evaluate my arguments, I can assure you they are based upon much more than longings for “the old days”, though I confess to having some.

Now comes women in combat. By that I do not mean support of those in combat. I mean hand-to-hand, slit his throat, gouge his eyes out, over-power and kill him with your bare hands kinds of combat. I mean sleep, piss, shit, fart and vomit in bunkers or foxholes with men. Or sleeping “back to back and belly to belly”, with men in the dark of long and stressful nights, etc., etc..

As a psychologist, my job is to help people cope effectively with reality. Unfortunately many people will simply not come under the control of reality and they are simply beyond help. The same appears to be true of our Modern American culture, with its approximately 4.5 million of citizens.

I am reminded of the old joke: “How many psychologists does it take to change a light bulb?…Only one, but the light bulb has got to want to change!”

Please, on this issue of women in combat, beware of the progressive politicians who pander to feminist action groups for votes. Also, beware of the military spokespersons whose next promotion depends upon their support of the “party line”.

Please read the following short article by Linda Chavez. In my judgement (not sentiment) she is very reality based in her description of the self-inflicted harms that will come to our military when it recruits women for close combat missions.

http://townhall.com/columnists/lindachavez/2013/01/25/women-in-combat-spells-trouble-n1496957/page/full/

An important fact that is not mentioned in Chavez’ article is that women are more prone to be afflicted with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) than men. The following article about the special problems of PTSD in female combatants is very long. If you will open the article and scroll down to page 335 (it is just several pages), the second paragraph through the first two paragraphs of page 336, you will understand the essence of this problem. This is information that our progressive leaders and feminists do not want you to know. Why would I assume this? It is common knowledge among mental health professionals, but we have not heard any mention of female combatant’s special sensitivity to PTSD from our progressive friends in politics or the media.

http://www.cardozolawandgender.com/uploads/2/7/7/6/2776881/duhart_formatted.pdf

Consider this. If high percentages of our males return from war with debilitating symptoms of PTSD and a greater proportion of our females return from war with debilitating symptoms of PTSD, how does that impact the mental health of their children…America’s future. Remember, females still provide the majority of care for our children during their most formative years.

Politics aside, please, do you really think that females in close combat is good for America and its long-term viability?

Obama: I Told You So #2

Obama: I told You So # 2

 

I posted the following on Oct. 28, 2010.  If you are tuned into the current scandals surrounding the Obama Administration, you need no further introduction to the following blog.

Obama: A Student, Teacher, Practitioner of the Alinsky School of Revolution

In his pamphlet on this topic, “Rules for Revolution”, David Horiwitz documents the strong connection between President Obama and Saul Alinsky, the radical revolutionary Saul Alinsky.

On page 13:

“Three of Obama’s mentors in Chicago were trained at the Alinsky Industrial Areas Foundation, and for several years Obama himself taught workshops on the Alinsky method”.

Page 14:

“‘On Barack Obama’s presidential campaign website, one could see a photo of Obama in a classroom “teaching students Alinskyan methods. He stood in front of a blackboard on which he has written, “Power Analysis’ and ‘ Relationships Built on Self Interest…”‘

On pages 14 and 15:

A summary of Obama’s Acorn involvement was described by the Wall Street Journal.

In 1991, he took time off from his law firm to run a voter-registration drive for Project Vote, an Acorn partner that was soon fully absorbed under the Acorn umbrella. The drive registered 135,00 voters and was considered a major factor in the upset victory of Democrat Carol Moseley Braun over incumbent Democratic Senator Alan Dixon in the 1992 Democratic Senate primary. Mr. Obama’s success made him a hot commodity on the community organizing circuit. He became a top trainer at Acorn’s Chicago conferences. In 1995, he became Acorn’s attorney, participating in a landmark case to force the state of Illinois to implement the federal Motor Voter Law. The law’s loose voter registration requirements would later be exploited by Acorn employees in an effort to flood voter rolls with fake names. In (1996), Mr. Obama filled out a questionnaire listing key supporters for his campaign for the Illinois Senate. He put Acorn first (it was not an alphabetical list).

End of all Quotes.

In the final analysis, though Alinsky was dead by the time Obama came on the scene, Obama was trained by Alinsky’s students and became a teacher of his socialist revolutionary strategies which were based upon deception, deceit and opportunism.

With Alinsky, “The issue is never the issue. The Issue is the revolution” (p. 10). The ends always justified the means.

With President Obama the issue is not health care, global warming, cap and trade, or stimulating the economy, etc., it is a revolutionary progressive transformation of a capitalistic society to a socialistic one.

Wake-Up America!

President Obama: I Warned You # 1

President Obama: I Warned You # 1

I posted the following entry on September 12, 2012 .  In this and a series of other posts, I have tried to warn my readers about the catastrophic mistake that the election of President Obama would be.

I will now reiterate a series of those posted warnings from years past in hopes that his supporters might now gain a grip on reality.

Please forward this series to your liberal friends. All of the following goes to the core issues of the scandals and cover ups related to Benghazi, the IRS, the Associated Press, guns to Mexico, and much more.

Featuring America’s Presidential Sociopath

At the heart of the definition of a sociopath is a lack of conscience; an ability to lie, cheat, deceive and hurt others without remorse; a slick, glib verbal repertoire normally used to persuade and manipulate people into doing what they want them to do.

All of this done to others in order to benefit the sociopath’s goals and objectives, without any concern for the welfare of those who the sociopath has deceived, predated and damaged.

All of this describes President Obama words and actions perfectly.

Nowhere have I seen a compilation of incontrovertible evidence more powerfully presented than in the following video. Here our Presidential Sociopath is vividly caught, in real-time action, in his own manipulative lies, deceptions and profoundly destructive abuse of this Nation’s trust.

It is essential that you see this video in its entirety.

Do you remember the Saul Alinsky (Rules for Radicals)-Antonio Gramsci (socialist revolutionary methods)-Barack Obama connection that I have warned about? See them in action here.

Wake-Up America! Please pass this one along to your friends and relatives.

Have I Slandered President Obama?

Have I Slandered President Obama?

In past posts, it might have appeared to “slander” President Obama. I did not. 

The definition of Slander is: “Malicious, false, and defamatory statements or reports”.

My statements have not been malicious…I was disappointed at his election and worried about what he would do with his great power. This was because I had studied his actions, affiliations with radicals and revolutionaries and I had also studied his personality features from a psycholgical perspective.

I will tell you that to the best of my ability, nothing I have said is false. His behaviors in office over the past four years amply validates my pained conclusions and predictions. Therefore I have not been defamatory.

I am sad, no appalled, at the degree to which President Obama has defamed himself while in office. He has reliably done this by his own actions and the quality of his appointees, whose behavior patterns appear to mirror his own.

I am no historian of American Presidents, but from all that I can tell, Obama is currently in the process of shoring-up his place in history as America’s worst President, ever.

I invite counter-arguments to this conclusion.

The following article expresses my concerns perfectly…I have been looking for one like it for several days.

Thanks to Joe Grunert for sending it to me.

By Brent Bozell

The Obama scandals started piling up on top of each other in the last few days. The civil servants who testified on Benghazi were heartbreaking. Then the IRS admitted a punitive agenda against tax exemptions for groups with “tea party” in the name or groups that “educate about the Constitution.”

Then Eric Holder’s Justice Department was revealed to be wiretapping the Associated Press in April and May of 2012 to nail a leaker. President Obama is not a “victim” of a “second-term curse.” This is the corrupt FIRST term beginning to smell, it is HIS administration, and even the media cannot deny the odor of malfeasance.

Most liberal pundits are no longer lecturing the conservatives about how they should dump the Benghazi probe, as is their clarion call after every Democratic scandal. Too much damaging information is coming out, not to mention the stonewalling, not to mention Obama’s continuous and blatant lying, such as his thuggish insistence he called this a terrorist act from the get-go, which he did not — period.

The growing collection of the Obama scandals paints a larger picture of a president who appears comfortable with an IRS that harasses his enemies, a State Department that lies to the world and a Justice Department that’s wiretapping AP reporters on their home phones. That’s not exactly the image of Hope and Change that the press — including the Obama pals at AP — sold us in 2008.

In 2006, reporters suggested Bush might be impeachment fodder for “domestic spying” — when the National Security Agency was listening to phone calls between Americans and Muslim radicals abroad. If the media can’t summon a stronger sense of outrage when the “domestic spying” is on their journalistic colleagues, then you’ll know (again) they’re completely in the tank.

In 2011 and 2012, a disturbing number of Obama’s media coddlers tried to suggest he was miraculously free of any Obama scandals. Forget Fast and Furious. Who ever heard of Solyndra? One of Obama’s top Democratic fundraisers ran MF Global into the ground. Who knew? Tingly Chris Matthews said Obama was “perfect” and “clean as a whistle” and has “never done anything wrong.”

Some journalists still care more for Obama’s image than they do about the truth. Time assistant managing editor Rana Foroohar greeted the IRS scandal by announcing on MSNBC, “What’s so sad about it is the president has been very rightfully proud of the lack of scandal in his administration so far.”

That could be a Jay Leno punch line.

On NPR’s “Morning Edition,” anchorman Steve Inskeep sounded like he’d been asleep like Rip Van Winkle for two years. He asserted to Cokie Roberts, “This administration has been described — I don’t even know how many times — as remarkably scandal-free. But when you get into the second term of an administration, there’s often some dirty laundry that comes out.”

This is the same Steve Inskeep who gave Obama campaign manager David Axelrod a nine-minute interview on Oct. 11, one month after Benghazi — and never raised the consulate murders at all. Thanks to NPR, the “dirty laundry” stayed under the bed until Obama could be re-elected.

Apparently he buried it so well, he even he forgot the Benghazi scandal existed. Inskeep wrapped up the interview by comparing Obama to Lincoln in his reluctance to whack his opponent. “Abraham Lincoln, as historians have noted, had a habit of getting upset with someone, writing them a letter that might be a very strong letter, and then sticking it in a desk — never sending it,” Inskeep stated. “I’m interested if metaphorically, the president has been sticking a lot of letters in the desk?”

Now we know it was more along the lines of “Hello? IRS?”

Insert vomiting sound effects here. This is how NPR flagrantly demonstrates its mockery of the Public Broadcasting Act’s long-ignored language about “objectivity and balance in all programming of a controversial nature.” To them, Obama should be chiseled into Mount Rushmore even as he engages in breath-taking corruption to destroy his enemies.

If the media had acted like professionals in 2012, more of this new information would be old news by now. Voters could have made a decision between Obama and Romney with a fuller picture of how corrupt this administration truly is. By refusing to reveal that corruption, they brought that stain of corruption on themselves.

Some reporters in this moment are sounding like professionals. But too many reporters are spending too much time pining about how scandals may harm Obama’s “legacy.” Journalists shouldn’t be demonstrating great care for Obama’s historical reputation, like they’re the White House weed-whackers.

Obama’s legacy is becoming apparent. He laughably claimed to be above politics, above partisanship and dirty tricks — when the facts are proving he’s really the dirtiest pool player in today’s politics. It’s Chicago-style politics, day and night.

Happy Mother’s Day, 2013

Happy Mother’s Day, 2013

My dear wife Sally’s Mother, and my own wonderful mother were simply marvelous.

We have so many memories of love, beauty, creativity, and fair and loving discipline that we cannot count them all. But these countless events are all in us and they have determined a great many of our thoughts, emotions and actions in all areas of our lives.

Our mothers strongly shaped our lives for the rest of our lives and they have also, through us, helped to shape the lives of their grandchildren, and now their great-grandchildren. Our mothers, therefore, have shaped the thoughts, emotions and actions of their lineage for generations to come.

Like genetics, good behavioral contagion in families (and among us all) continues to express itself long into the lives of those who are yet to live.

God Bless the world’s wonderful mothers!

The following is a very touching tribute to mothers everywhere.
