Arrogant corporations

There are a couple of our big corporations that I’ve had enough of and I am starting my own little private boycotts. The first is Target for their kicking out the bellringers from the Salvation Army. They are claiming publicly that it is in order to make their “no solicitation” policy consistent, but I know for a fact that this is a crock. The number 3 guy at their corporate HQ is openly gay and he has been campaigning to punish the Army for the last 3 years and has finally been successful in his quest. This really all started 3 years ago with the big push by homosexual groups to try to force the Army to abandon its Christian principles and grant “domestic partner” benefits to any employees who were homosexual. After an initial misstep by the Western Territory (shortly corrected after a huge internal uprising), the Army has maintained its principles and refused to be intimidated into compromising its principles on this issue. For this the “tolerant” folks on the Left, such as this Target official, are determined that Christian organizations such as the Army must be punished, regardless of the damage it will do to services to the poor that they always claim to care so much about. The hypocrisy goes on! I’m shopping at Wal-Mart from now on, and I wrote and told Target so.

The other company I’ve had it with is Northwest Airlines. We had the misfortune of flying with them this weekend and once again ran smack into their incredibly bad service, coupled with an attitude of “that’s your problem” that we have encountered before. We were forced to take a leg of a flight that we didn’t want (under threat of having our return flight reservation cancelled), and then the incompetence of their personnel turned this scheduled 22 min flight leg into a 2.5 hour ordeal. I am going to wait to send them my e-letter of complaint until we get back home on Sunday. If I send it before then, I wouldn’t be surprised to find that they had screwed up our return flight to Florida. So fly Southwest, Southeast, USA3000, ATA, Spirit… take your pick, but tell Northwest to take a flying leap!

Another Hollywood whitewash

Maybe you have heard some of the hype about the new movie Kinsey. If all you had to go on was the movie trailers and other promos, you might be left with the impression that he was some brave man who stood heroically against the overwhelming forces of repression to “speak truth to power”…. and you would be totally wrong!! This movie is another case where Hollywood has chosen propoganda over truth (surprise, surprise!!) and Michael Moore wasn’t even involved in this project.

Simply put, Alfred Kinsey was an incredibly depraved pedophile who, neverthess, managed to cloak his perversions with the respectability of “science”. The media in the ’50s were duped into accepting this, but those in recent years have no such excuse. Ever since 1981, a few brave authors have tried to get the truth out about Kinsey’s “research” but have been ignored or silenced by the mainstream media.

Here are a few of the many, many things that I’m sure will be left out of the movie, yet are all well documented. (I am only going to post the links because much of this information is disgusting… be warned in advance!)

*Dr. Kinsey and the Children of Table 34
*Film Falsely Depicts Famous Sex Researcher
*Selling Sex in the U.S.A. (This is quite lengthy but it contains not only a lot of documented information, but it also traces Kinsey’s influence down to some of the more abhorrent aspects of society today.)

These issues are also covered extensively in Daniel Flynn’s excellent new book Intellectual Morons: How Ideology Makes Smart People Fall For Stupid Ideas. He spends an entire chapter on Kinsey’s history and the gigantic fraud that his “research” has fostered on our society.

Don’t be fooled by promotional hype or even the fact that Liam Neeson is starring in this film. Alfred Kinsey was an incredibly evil man who has done tremendous damage to our society and his influence lingers yet. Contrast how this propoganda piece will be praised with the way that Mel Gibson was savagely attacked last year for accurately depicting The Passion. Media bias lives on!

A smorgasbord of articles…

I have been enjoying not only the President’s win on Tuesday, but also the plethora (yeah, big word… showing off that college edjicashun…) of great articles from some of my favorite conservative writers. Here are just a few:

* I Tried to Tell You…
* It’s the Culture, Stupid
* Now That We’ve Voted
* The World We Leave Our Children

But here is the one I like the best:
* So Much to Savor

I have always loved Peggy Noonan’s writing. She has the marvelous gift for always finding the perfect phrase that captures the essence of the moment. (She wrote the speech that Ronald Regan gave at the memorial for the Challenger astronauts!) Anyway, enjoy the feast!
