Yesterday I blogged about a new law in Iran forbidding women from showing any evidence of a tan. A new law in Italy, however, seems slightly more amusing and ridiculously more disturbing. I’ve said for quite some time that political correctness is a cancer. One of the tenets of cancer is that it doesn’t die off naturally, and it spreads. Far.
When adopting children now, would-be parents in Italy are guilty of an indictable offense if they attempt to consider race in any way in their selection. Let’s get the obvious point out of the way first, which is that this is yet another race-centered policy by a Leftist that serves not to help any given race, but rather marginalize them and patronize them to the point where there is practically an admission that black children are unwanted and need to be forced onto potential parents.
Beyond that, it would seem that in his haste to shout out in a truly Ron Paul fashion “constitution! constitution!” (or I suppose “constitutionni! constitutionni!”) and make it an international rights issue, activist Marco Griffini didn’t think of the potential repurcussions that this has for the children. I’m not for a moment suggesting that white parents cannot raise black children, nor that black parents couldn’t raise a white child. However, there is a visible disconnect when Mario and Lucia Lucetti become the parents to Jamal. Several studies have shown that children raised in interracial homes do face additional challenges and issues in childhood and adolescence that simply aren’t issues in those homes where all are of the same race. Again, this is not to shoot down the concept of multiracial familes. However, some parents may not be equipped to handle these issues of race above the normal trials of parenthood.
As is becoming a standard occurence in North America, this is government telling parents whats best for their family. If individual adoption agencies want to embrace this policy, then power to them. However, the the last thing the government should be doing is forcing anti-choice mandates onto families. Sex education, food choices, advertising laws, nationalized daycare (Canada,) etc. All are examples of the government trying to raise children, as if they can do it better than the parents who conceived them.
Let’s face it, does anyone want Eric Massa or Barney Frank raising their children?
Todd Palin has always struck me as a ‘great guy’- he is married to her. However, I may have underestimated just how great Mr. Palin really is. I had heard rumors of a shirt that he wore, and so, I did a little investigating. My findings are bellow:
In the photos, which I found on TMZ, you can see that while vacationing in Hawaii Todd wore a shirt with “If you don’t love America…why don’t you get the hell out?” written across the chest. Based solely on that shirt, if Sarah won’t run for president I’ll settle for Todd.
We all knew that on Facebook you could become a fan of pretty much anything. However, I think that even “anything” has its limits. A new Facebook page has popped up with a simple title, “to kill millions of jews.” Just a bad attempt at satire? Not really. The group’s profile picture is a black and white composite of Hitler with the Apple logo and the slogan, “think different” written beside. This group is small in numbers and won’t last long, but it speaks to the quality of society when genocide and the Holocaust become not just topics of discussion but subjects of advocacy as well.
Tim James is running for Governor in Alabama. In this brilliant ad he say:
I’m Tim James. Why do our politicians make us give drivers lisence exams in 12 languages? This is Alabama, we speak english. If you want to live here, learn it. We’re only giving that test in english, if I’m Governor. Maybe it’s the businessman in me, but we’ll save money. And it makes sense. Does it to you?
James makes a great point. If you want to live in any country you have a responsibility to respect that nation. The first thing you should do is learn the language. Part of what has made the United States great is the knowledge and experience brought by new immigrants. However, past immigrants learned to speak the language and adopted the culture. Today, immigrants are taught to break the law and enter the country illegally. Once they have taken that step, it’s no wonder they have no respect for the country, or its laws. In addition, if new citizens want to pursue the American Dream, the first step is learning english. Time James is dead on in this ad – and it should only be the first step. The United States should continue to welcome new immigrants, but in order to become a citizen people must respect the country and its traditions.
From Associated Press:
Arizona’s sweeping immigration bill allows police to arrest illegal immigrant day laborers seeking work on the street or anyone trying to hire them. It won’t take effect until summer but it is already having an effect on the state’s underground economy.
“Nobody wants to pick us up,” Julio Loyola Diaz says in Spanish as he and dozens of other men wait under the shade of palo verde trees and lean against a low brick wall outside the east Phoenix home improvement store.
Many day laborers like Diaz say they will leave Arizona because of the law, which also makes it a crime to be in the U.S. illegally and directs police to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants.
Charlie Crist to run as an independent!
(Told you so…)
Sarah Palin recently spoke in Hamilton, Ontario (and for a short time, that city had one positive quality) and on her trip only did one media appearance! Here is the video the former Governor’s CTS interview. In case you weren’t aware, CTS is Canada’s only Christian television network, and the network that hosts the Michael Coren show where Ari and I have appeared!

The war on capitalism, Obama’s refusal to acknowledge Islam as a threat, “It must be a Liberal”, and is Twitter responsible for a decline in correct sentence structure?
