I love this man's article on Kwanzaa and its creator, Ron Karenga. He's got his facts straight, plus he delivers a nicely intuitive take as to why Black people don't even celebrate this faux "Black Holiday". The writer's name is Ralph Bailey and he's a good read.
Maranatha, y'all!

Adam Lambert: The Future of Rock n Roll?
Spouting "Long Live Rock n Roll!" as his anthem, Adam Lambert may be the new Elvis, or he may just personify what is so frightening about openly gay celebrities: the soulless abyss of the sexual deviant. Coupled with this fear is a tension, an unease. Most people don't want to offend gays, but homoerotica - even simulated - is certifiably pornographic. People sense this.
On the American Music Awards last evening, American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert gave America a taste of what's on his mind when he thinks "Rock n Roll!". It wasn't enough for him to sing, prance, and dance. There was simulated oral sex with a male dancer, him kissing a man, and the groping of a female dancer as part of his routine - but the network that carried the Awards show, ABC, says it was all unrehearsed!
Okaaay.
That shaking feeling is the cultural tremor of yet another broken public taboo. Sodom and Gomorrah are almost nearly prime-time on network television. Rock n' Roll is again the conduit. Make no mistake, gay celebrities like Lambert have a vested interest in the mainstreaming of homosexuality to the American public as just another in a series of off-beat alternative lifestyles, but, but, but...their trip wire is - and has always been - homosexual sex. The vast majority of the American public want none of that part of the gay lifestyle. Outraged viewers flooded the network with calls complaining about the Lambert performance only to receive sheepish apologies and mea culpas from the network bosses.
But nothing will happen. This is just a hiccup. Atlas continues to shrug. Passivity in the face of cultural assault has become the norm for TV in America. It has just about become the norm for American households. Drag queens and transvestites are next in line, closely followed by the pederasts of NAMBLA on your local stations. Small wonder there are any standards of decency at all given the whirlwind of change we have all been subjected to in less than ten years of cultural suicide, disguised as relativism. Lambert, for his part, sees only hypocrisy - as do all relativists - in his interview on the CBS Morning show with Maggie Rodriguez yesterday:
RODRIGUEZ: Now that you have had time to think about the children, your child fans, do you – do you feel that you need to apologize to them?
LAMBERT: I think it’s up to the parents to – to discern what their child’s watching on television.
RODRIGUEZ: Well, but they had no idea they were about to see something like that on network TV.
LAMBERT: Well, you know – and you know, just to play Devil’s advocate with you, Lady Gaga smashing whiskey bottles. Janet Jackson grabbing a male dancer’s crotch. Eminem talked about how Slim Shady has ‘17 rapes under his belt.’ There’s a lot of very adult material on the AMA’s this year and I know I wasn’t the only one. I’m not using that as an excuse and I don’t have any – I didn’t take any offense with those performers’ choices, I’m just saying I think it’s up to a parent to watch the television. It was almost 11:00 at night. If they’re concerned with certain material maybe Tivo it and preview it before you’re small child is watching it.
RODRIGUEZ: So you don’t feel that it’s your responsibility to – to issue an apology?
LAMBERT: I’m not a babysitter. I’m a performer.
BAM!
God has long ago given America over to its lusts. We are now only feeling the tremors of the earthquake and shuddering breeze of the whirlwind to come.
MARANATHA!

Rev. Jeremiah Wright Unmasked
What need have we of any further witnesses? You have heard it from his own lips... Jeremiah Wright is a Communist and Socialist with a capital "C" and "S". Here's his latest intellectual pretensions as posted on Youtube.
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP6_qtLoW98&feature=player_embedded
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D5YN09bAFlwY
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DwkDceH8K0Do
We thought he might be a Marxist, but we weren't 100% sure. Now we are. Indeed, the climate's right for many more such Marxist-Leninists and Communists to "out" themselves, feeling so emboldened by a Leftist president and a gullible, greedy, largely unprincipled Democratic party. But the Republicans aren't much better, I might add: hypocritical, deceiving, and spineless. Teddy Roosevelt would spew them out of his mouth.
Twenty years as member of Rev. Wright's "church". Hasn't found a church home to raise his family spiritually. Dear Lord, save us from comrade Obama and from all such evangelists of the tyranny of the soul called Communism.

Black Genocide Part II
It's a systematic destruction. Or is it systematic self-destruction? The numbers are in: More African-Americans die from abortion than from the seven leading causes of death of African-Americans combined!
I'm thinking most people already know this, however not many are aware of the extent to which this has become a health and wellness crisis in the African-American community.
But I want to call attention to a key point from the article from a spokeswoman with the Guttmacher Institute, a sexual and reproductive health research group.
Susan Cohen, director of government affairs at the Guttmacher Institute, said that black women are not inordinately targeted.
It is the high number of unintended pregnancies among black women that explains the disproportionate number of black abortions, she stated in a policy analysis, “Abortion and Women of Color: The Bigger Picture (2008),” which was provided to CNSNews.com by Guttmacher Institute spokeswoman Rebecca Wind.
While acknowledging that the abortion rate for blacks in the United States is “almost 5 times that for white women,” Cohen concluded in her analysis, “these higher unintended pregnancy rates (among African American women) reflect the particular difficulties that many women in minority communities face in accessing high-quality contraceptive services and in using their chosen method of birth control consistently and effectively over long periods of time."
“Because black women experience so many more unintended pregnancies than any other group—sharply disproportionate to their numbers in the general population—they are more likely to seek out and obtain abortion services than any other group,” said Cohen.
So, what is it that's driving these numbers? Unintended pregnancies. And why so many? Because they do not have access to contraceptive birth control. Oh,really?
So why haven't our nation's Civil Rights leaders been howling, shouting, crying aloud, and holding news conferences over this - apparently - widespread denial of contraception to African-American women?
This is a far, far worse enemy to Black people than the Ku Klux Klan ever was! Where is the Congressional Black Caucus? Where is Al? Jesse? Joseph Lowery? WE NEED TO HEAR FROM Y'ALL!!!!
Stop the genocide! Reverse the Curse of Margaret Sanger! Choose Life!
Deut. 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Maranatha!

Mao: the Man and the Butcher
Recently, Obama administration communications director, Anita Dunn recently praised Mao-Zedong at a high school graduation speech as a "favorite political philosopher" and one of "two people I turn to most" for inspiration. I am utterly fascinated that people who ought to know better haven't come down on her for this. This is an outrageous admission that would have received mass condemnation had she replaced Mao with Adolf Hitler or Josef Stalin.
Because in fact a China scholar, Prof. R.J. Rummel estimates that Mao was more lethal than Hitler or Stalin. Perhaps Dunn has not received the scorn she is due for her remarks because of the failure of history teachers and professors in this country and elsewhere to teach and highlight the mass murders committed in the name of "progress" and "reeducation" by Far East regimes.
But it seems the political Left knows what it is doing. Mao Zedong is, in fact, a hero to many of them. Ms. Dunn's remarks were calculated to draw into this worldview the young and impressionable minds of high schoolers.
This is very, very sad. We are witnessing the takeover of our great nation and its institutions by the Far Left - led by a glib, leftist professor. I pray daily for the fall of this administration and their quick exit from the national and world stage. And, no, Obama's fall would not be our nation's fall. Yet may God open the eyes of this people that we may regain our sight to see how far we have fallen.
>"The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

Israel: The Canary in the Coal Mine
A very prescient article. Cliff May quotes liberally from the eminent scholar, George Gilder. Gilder is not a theologican, not an evangelical, not even a zionist, but he is someone who "gets it" with Israel in a different way than many have posited before. As I have said on many occasions on this blog, America and Israel are joined at the hip. As one goes - so goes the other.

Religion Under Attack II: Homeschooler ordered to Government school
Since I teach American History, Western Civilization, and Christian Apologetics to homeschoolers, I am keenly interested in this story. Divorced parents who cannot communicate usually wind up with a government solution that satisfies no one.
In this case it is being held - incredibly - that the daughter, under her mother's influence, holds her beliefs too "sincerely" and that this is a threat to her "socialization". I don't know if the ex-husband is a Christian or not. Perhaps he is or was. But the courts are to blame here. What exactly is the compelling government interest in this above-average student's socialization? Since when did the government get into the business of deprogramming beliefs?
From where I sit, this appears to be nothing short of a transparent government intervention against the deeply religious beliefs of a parent being transmitted to a child. What a shame the suit was brought in the first place, but the court's behavior in this situation is certifiably shameless.
What these government secularists don't realize is that once Judeo-Christianity is gone, America will fall.
