As my readers will recall an Ohio State Senator introduced a bill that would require all parents who home schooled their children to be investigated.
Well, I am quite happen to report that thanks to the voices of outrage in the homeschooling community, the Christianity community, and the Conservative blogosphere; the bill has been withdrawn!
COLUMBUS, Ohio – An Ohio state senator recently introduced a bill that would have forced homeschoolers to undergo government investigation, but promised on Thursday to withdraw the legislation following widespread criticism.
[…]
Matt Walsh, a popular talk radio host, likewise argued in a blog post this week that the Ohio state government was wrong in using “one isolated incident … as a tool to intrude into the lives of every homeschool[ing] parent.”
“[SB 248] has the effect of giving the government a claim to your child,” he wrote. “Certainly, you should be able to lose your claim over your child if you are truly abusive, or if you commit any felony crime that would put you in prison and require your kids to be cared for by someone else, but homeschool laws assume abusive and criminal intent in every parent. If that is not tyranny, then there is no such thing.”
Therefore, following widespread backlash surrounding SB 248, Cafaro announced late Thursday that she would officially withdraw the bill. In a statement, she claimed that “the true intent of the bill to curtail child abuse has been eclipsed the by the issue of homeschooling.”
“After consultation with Teddy’s family,” Cafaro’s statement explained, “we have collectively decided the best course of action is for me to withdraw SB 248, and instead pursue a more comprehensive approach to address the current challenges in the state’s social service and criminal justice system. … I will not include any content related to education in the home in a new bill, or in any other bill.”
You see my friends; this is what happens when Conservatives, Christians, and Americans decide that they are not going to be servants of the Government, this is what happens when the American people straighten their backs up and throw down the gauntlet and tell the Government, “From this point you shall proceed no further!”
Apparently what happened was that a manager or an employee who was found out to be a homosexual was fired from his job.
Needless to say there was considerable amount of outrage and lawsuits were filed.
So what is happening is this Cracker Barrel is trying to avoid any and all controversy related to the gay community.
Cracker Barrel lost a lot of business when that happened and thought they were going to have to close a bunch of stores up over it.
So they’re trying to play it safe. As someone who has run a business in my day and knows what it is to have bad things about them, I totally understand why they’re doing what they’re doing.
As you all know, I support Phil Robertson, of Duck Dynasty. I happen to agree with what he said and happen to think that A&E’s reaction was extremely stupid; I also hope they go elsewhere. I also criticized those who attacked the family. But this right here, is where I holler “Whooooooooaaaaaaaaaa Nelly!” and hit the air brakes and bring the peterbilt to a full and complete stop.
Read this load of weapons grade stupidity from some meatball, who is running for State Senate in Illinois:
Today, Ian Bayne called Phil Robertson, star of the A&E series “Duck Dynasty,” the ‘Rosa Parks’ of our generation.
“In December 1955, Rosa Parks took a stand against an unjust societal persecution of black people, and in December 2013, Robertson took a stand against persecution of Christians,” said Bayne.
Parks, famous for refusing to give up her seat on a bus for a white person, as was the rule of her day, provided inspiration for a movement of equality of black people and white people in America.
“What Parks did was courageous,” said Bayne. “What Mr. Robertson did was courageous too.”
Bayne believes that the Duck Dynasty star knew that going on GQ would result in the current controversy going on surrounding his suspension, as well as his suspension.
Bayne added that this exposure of Robertson’s situation is an eye opener for many who may have been previously in disbelief that the bible is fast becoming considered “hate speech” by the media and society.
The only part of that up there, that is even remotely true is the last paragraph. The rest of it is extremely stupid. As someone who grew up in the southwest part of Detroit and lived there for 19 years of my life and grew up around blacks, Latinos, and every other pea-picking minority under the sun; this is just plain ignorant. I mean, badly ignorant.
Anyone that compares a bearded, Christian Louisiana redneck to Rosa Parks; who, by the way, decided to stand up against the institutionalized racism of Montgomery, Alabama —- is an absolute tone-deaf, out of touch, mentally deficient, idiot who should not be allowed to drive a car, much less run for a seat in the Illinois Senate!
There is no comparison, it is wrong, it is stupid and it should not be done ever, at all. End of story, full stop, shut up and turn the bus around and pray to the Lord that nobody saw you naked. (So to speak…)
If anyone on the right is looking for a textbook example of why the “Liberal left” in this Country happens to think that people, like myself, who happen to disagree with the idea that big Government the best idea in the world, and happen to think that european socialism is about a city block away from Russian Communism —- are a bunch of crazy, nutty, loony people: Look no further that what I quoted above. I mean, where in the far reaches of this man’s gray matter did this man happen to think that this was a good idea?!?!?! What kind of dope is he smoking? How much does it cost, and does he know where I find some of it, can I put it in my Vapor thingamabob and puff on it?!?!
Whew. I know that was a mouthful; but it needed to be said and someone needs to tell the people on the right; of whom I am aligned with, not to do stuff like this, ever…. just…..no. 🙄
If you want it in a video, this was my reaction to the above quote:
I don’t write this every day but sometimes it needs to be said. Liberals have a point. Not about ObamaCare or their plans to increase spending and taxes. But about Phil Robertson and the hypocrisy of some of his conservative supporters who are outraged about the fact that the Duck Dynasty star was suspended for uttering critical remarks about homosexuality as well as some bizarre comments about the Jim Crow era that for some reason got less attention than his conservative Christian take on gays and sex.
[…]
Robertson is entitled to his opinion about faith, sex, race, or anything else on his mind. But his right to free speech doesn’t entitle him to a job on an A&E show. If the network doesn’t wish to be associated with such views, they are free to tell him to take a hike. For the same reason MSNBC was within its rights to can actor Alec Baldwin when he used a homophobic slur and then lied about it. The same network was also right when it eased Martin Bashir, one of the network’s left-wing opinion slingers, out after he used despicable language about the same Sarah Palin. At that time conservatives (including me) wondered what was going when for weeks Bashir went unpunished for behaving in such an atrocious manner. Nobody on the right thought Bashir’s right of free speech was at stake. Instead, they correctly identified the issue as the hypocrisy of liberals who are quick to brand conservatives who speak out of turn as extremists and radicals who are primarily responsible for the lack of civility in politics today.
The right to free speech has nothing to do with having a gig on television. No one has a right to such a job and nothing prevents those who run these outfits from choosing who works for them. That applies to Bashir as well as to Robertson.
Not only this, I would not also expect a Jew to agree with any sort of Christian values at all. After all, it was the Jews who brought Christ to a rigged trial and turned him over to the Romans for crucifixion. The way I see it Jonathan S. Tobin is just carrying on the tradition of his forefathers; of denying that the Lord ever existed and trashing his followers, like me.
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. (John 15:18-19 KJV)
I decided to switch back to my previous theme. I was not 100% satisfied with the new one. It was too, well, modern for my taste. This one is much better, I think.
This one looks, well, more blog-like.
Now to move all the code from new theme back… 🙄 Joy. 🙄
Update: Thankfully, I did not have to do the work that I thought that I was going to have to do. I didn’t cut and paste the code for my ads, I simply copied and pasted. Man, I’m glad I did that! Saved me a ton of work. 😀
Will someone explain exactly what business it is of the United States which economic union Ukraine chooses to join, or not join?
Even as we are pushing Kiev toward the EU, conservative and populist parties are rising across Europe to get their countries out of the EU, including in Britain where the Tories are demanding a vote.
John (“We are all Georgians now!”) McCain was also in Kiev threatening sanctions if the government clears its main square of squatters the way we cleared Zuccotti Park of Occupy Wall Street.
The demand that Ukraine be gentle with its demonstrators was issued as the U.S. was lifting sanctions on Egypt’s army, which this year arrested President Mohammed Morsi, jailed thousands of Muslim Brotherhood, and mowed down hundreds in Cairo’s streets in an action John Kerry described as “restoring democracy.”
What hypocrites we must seem to the world.
Now, President and Mrs. Obama and Vice President Biden have, on the high moral ground that Russia has outlawed LBGT propaganda, declared they will not attend the Sochi winter Olympics.
Yet, are we not courting Iran? Did not Obama bow to the king of Saudi Arabia? When was the last time they had a gay pride parade in Riyadh, Tehran, Mecca or Qom?
How can a nation as polarized morally and paralyzed politically as ours lead the world? It cannot. The people sense what the elites cannot see.
We want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. The family has spent much time in prayer since learning of A&E’s decision. We want you to know that first and foremost we are a family rooted in our faith in God and our belief that the Bible is His word. While some of Phil’s unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible. Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart” and “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Phil would never incite or encourage hate.We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right.We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty. Again, thank you for your continued support of our family.
