CNBC: Will Bankrupt California City Escape Pensions?!?

A great segment from CNBC on the ongoing cautionary example that is California:

Highlights:

•  Public Pensions are untouchable under California law.

• CALPERS told Stockton there was no emergency.

• Stockton is already $1 Billion in the hole to CALPERS.

• Los Angeles' pension and health care costs are up 150% in the past decade and will consume 25% of the city budget by 2017.

• Since the bottom of the crisis, tax collection in California is actually 11 billion higher AND education is down; the difference is Public Pensions and Health Care.

 (Sidenote: CALPERS is also in bed deep with Agenda 21.)

In other California related cautionary tales, this piece from Victor Davis Hanson is GREAT.

Update: Looks like Chuck DeVore has more.

Update II: Breitbart has more.


Update III:  Eek!!!

From Alfred Kinsey to Chicago Public Schools in Five Easy Steps

It's amazing how predictable the left becomes once you recognize the patterns.  With a few key phrases, and a little bit of time on the internet, you can find some great stuff.  The latest outrage out of Chicago is a textbook example.

First things first, Chicago Public Schools (yes, those Chicago Public Schools) are now considering teaching sex ed to five year olds.  Obviously, this is a terrible idea, but it'll probably move forward anyway because we're talking about Chicago.  Buried in the story, however, was this little nugget:

The proposed policy follows the National Sexuality Education Standards composed by four health organizations.

 National Sexuality Education Standards?!?  Excuse me?!?  That can't be good:

The Future of Sex Education Project (FoSE) began in July 2007 when staff from Advocates for Youth, Answer and SIECUS first met to discuss the future of sex education in the United States.

Now who, pray tell, is SIECUS?!?

SIECUS, the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, was founded in 1964 by Dr. Mary S. Calderone and a number of other brave pioneers.

During her tenure as the Medical Director for the Planned Parenthood Federation, Dr. Calderone became concerned about the lack of accurate information about sexuality for both young people and adults.
So, at the age of 60, with determination to live in a world in which sexuality was viewed as a natural and healthy part of life, she founded of SIECUS. She was joined by Wallace Fulton, Reverend William Genne, Lester Kirkendall, Dr. Harold Lief, and Clark Vincent. In the next couple of years, SIECUS’ first Board of Directors was established, our first foundation grant was received, and we  published our first book designed for teacher training.

Dr. Mary S. Calderone would be?!?

Co-founder Dr. Mary S. Calderone is the former medical director for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. She boasted in a SIECUS report: "Few people realize that the great library collection of . . . the Kinsey Institute in Bloomington, Indiana was formed very specifically with one major field omitted: sex education. This was because it seemed appropriate, not only to the Institute but to its major funding source, the National Institute of Mental Health, to leave this area for SIECUS to fill." Not surprisingly, Kinsey co-author Wardell Pomeroy was a SIECUS founding board member.

The primary goal of SIECUS, according to Calderone, is to teach human sexuality "very broadly and deeply with awareness of the vital importance of infant and childhood sexuality." The May-July 1983 issue of the SIECUS Report adds that a child's sexuality should "be developed in the same way as the child's inborn human capacity to talk or to walk, and that [the parents'] role should relate only to teaching the child the appropriateness of privacy, place, and person-in a word, socialization."

 Alfred Kinsey, founder of the Kinsey Institute, was this guy.

Cahnman's Musings is going to investigate further, because nothing good can come from "National Sexuality Education Standards" developed by a Kinsey-linked organization, but the linear progression is striking.

Background information here.

The Kinsey Fraud

With the obvious success of the Lena Dunham/Sandra Fluke pitch, Cahnman's Musings has been studying the origins of the sexual revolution.  Some time soon, we're going to have a longer piece on Alfred Kinsey and his influence today.  For now, however, this shocking video will set the stage:





Highlights:

• Kinsey's aim: "To liberate society from its sexual 'repression' and normalize all sexual relations."

• Kinsey was personally into self-mutiliation.

• Kinsey discarded 75% of the people he interviewed.
• So, his conclusions are bogus.

• Kinsey claimed children were 'sexual from birth.'

• Used the diaries of child molesters.

• The Nazi pedophile we mentioned the other day was Fritz van Ballusek
• The U.S. Media covered this up at the time.

• The current Kinsey Institute argues for lowering age of consent laws.

• Kinsey inspired Hugh Hefner. 

• Kinsey also made up a bunch of phony abortion data.

How the early Sexual Revolution protected Pedophiles

Alfred Kinsey, one of the fathers of the sexual revolution in the United States, was one of the most demonic men of all time.  Some day soon, Cahnman's Musings will share a much longer account of Kinsey's actions.  For now, this video has to be seen to be believed:



Highlights:

• Kinsey worked with documented Nazi-pedophiles
• Me: Seriously, Nazi pedophiles.  Try to wrap your head around that one.  The sexual revolution in the United States was led by men who worked with actual NAZI PEDOPHILES!!!

• Kinsey warned him not to get caught.

• Kinsey knew everything at the time.

• The American press ignored the Kinsey/Pedophiles story.
• Me: What else is new?!?

•  Aleister Crowley:
• British Occultist who Kinsey studied.
• Justified all forms of immorality.
• "Let me seduce the boys of England."
• "Do what thou wilt."
• Inspired Charles Manson's followers.

There's an organized effort to Normalize Pedophilia

I intended to discuss this story from the U.K. Guardian last Saturday, but didn't have time before I went into work.  Today, Rush discussed it.  I second everything Rush said, then I'll add some historical context at the end that will shock you:



Highlights:

• There's an organized effort to normalize pedophilia.

• Try to recall your first reaction to gay marriage.

• They'll portray opposition to pedophilia as an antiquated morality.

• "Just another sexual orientation."
• "Loving and Natural."
• "Pedophiles are just wired differently."

• There an active campaign in Canada to label pedophilia a distinct sexual orientation.

• "You know who's gonna fall right into line on this?!?  College Kids."
• Me: YUP!!!

• When Rush mentions that 'people warned us about this' back when the push to redefine marriage began, he's partially right.  Actually, only one person had the guts.  His name was Rick Santorum.

Back in September, I linked to a story from my buddy All-American blogger.  He details the history of this 'movement.'  The (very) short version of it is that back in the 1970's the pro-homosexual and pro-pedophilia movement were one and the same; they were de-linked in the 1980's when the activists realized it would be easier to sell the public on homosexuality first then return to pedophilia later.

All-American Blogger's entire piece is must read, you can find it here.

Update: Another blogger pal, Jenny Erickson at Cafe' Mom wrote about this last week; I think she's being waaaaaaaaaay too optimistic (just read some of the comments on her post) and that she underestimates the tenacity of the folks were up against.

Update II: Based on some of the comments I've seen on Facebook, I would like to explicitly point out that the movement to normalize pedophilia predates Obama by a long, long, time. 

Update III: A third blogger pal, Warner Todd Huston, also wrote about the U.K. Guardian story last week; he links to this year-old story from Gawker.

Update IV: LifeSiteNews has more here.

All-American Blogger: Origins of the pro-Pedophilia Movement

All American Blogger absolutely nails it; all I have to say is did Rick Santorum call it or did Rick Santorum call it?!?  One highlight:

Neatly tucked away inside that agenda was the sub-agenda to legalize pedophilia. The “1972 Gay Rights Platform in the United States” called for the “Repeal of all laws governing the age of sexual consent.” This platform was endorsed by liberal Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern, who sent a supportive telegram. There were other homosexual organizations, such as the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Rights Coalition and the Gay Alliance Towards Equality, that also opposed the age of consent laws. Their support of the cause would disappear in 1977.
