Mitlenatch Island - A wildlife paradise
This is Mitlenatch Island, Located in the middle of the Salish sea on the inside of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Many unusual qualities make Mitlenatch Island what it is and there are no other islands anything like it in the Strait of Georgia.
Mitlenatch Island...very near the 50th parallel is where the currents around Vancouver Island meet. South of this island, it floods from the south and north of here, it floods from the north. On a big southeaster and a large flood looking north you will see very large confused seas caused by the seas piling out of discovery pass and looking south it will look quite manageable. Sometimes it can be quite dramatic.
Mitlenatch is a wind swept island in a rainshadow with very little percipitation during the year which gives it quite a different ecosystem than most others.
The best anchoring (I definately don't recomend overnight) is off the beach on the north side which seems to be pretty good. I usually anchor on the east side and in the small bay but I don't recomend it unless you are very comfortable with a couple of feet under your keel and a very short rode.
Here is the video I put together and I know it's long and drawn out but if you get about halfway through it you will see a gull that is pretty beaten up but should be OK. This is the result of fighting with eagles which during nesting season is quite common as the eagles will regularly attack the nests with some success. The gulls in turn seem to gang up on the eagles and chase them away. I drifted a little too close to the sealions in some of the footage which is obviously an annoyance to them and is a real no no which I'm fully aware of, but I figured I wouldn't waste the footage so I included some of it.
Sometimes loosely described as "The Galapagos of the Georgia Strait" many of the locals just call it "Bird Island". In any event, Mitlenatch is like no other island in the strait. Mitlenatch is an uninhabited seabird sanctuary with the largest seabird colony in the Strait of Georgia. It's a rocky island of mostly small shrubs, many different species of flowers, cactus, snakes and much more.
This is the bird blind located up one of the trails. Inside this blind you will see some bird identifying posters which are very handy.
The next two photos show the north side anchorage area that I would recommend particularly during a light to moderate Southeasterly but anything more, it's time to get out of there.
This island is spectacular at any time of the year and always chock-a-block full of wildlife but nesting season is the best.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
For the past several years I have been involved with the modern-day miracle of the return of Jews to their ancient heritage following 500 years of exile. The people I refer to are known in Hebrew as anusim, a more positive term than the one often used – Marranos.
We encounter the Hebrew term anus (anusim in the plural) in the Haggadah, when we read of Jacob's descent into Egypt from his home in Canaan against his will but at the determination of the Almighty. The word therefore refers to being forced to do something other than one's own desire or plan.
History records the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492 and the Inquisition by the Catholic Church, first in Europe and then across the Atlantic Ocean into South America and Mexico.
Thanks to my involvement with modern-day anusim, I often ask myself how I would have acted if fate had placed me there 500 years ago. Would I have given up my Jewish traditions and accepted another religion in order to save my life? Would I have been strong enough in my commitment to Judaism to totally refuse the faith being forced on me? Or would I have lived a dual life, Christian on the outside and Jewish on the inside, in constant fear of exposure and subsequent torture at the hands of the Inquisition? Would I have sought refuge by fleeing to another country, hoping it would prove a haven of safety?
Those were the decisions that had to be made in each individual case by the ancestors of today's anusim.
In a remarkable turn of events, people today – primarily in South American countries and in the Southwest United States – are discovering they are the descendants of Jewish families who lived in the Iberian Peninsula 500 years ago.
Stop a moment and consider how you would react if one morning, on your way to minyan, you somehow received information that you really were not Jewish at all, but that your ancestors had hidden from you the fact that your were descended from crypto Jews who assumed the identity of Jews only to save their lives. And now, living in a free society, you have the opportunity to return to the religion and traditions of your ancestors who had no real interest in becoming Jews those hundred of years ago but did so only to survive.
That is exactly the situation faced by anusim. Somehow they learn of their ancestors in Spain some 500 years ago. It is hard for me to understand the dynamics of this discovery. I have no idea why their parents had not shared this secret with them. Consider that for 500 years, succeeding generations had known they were anusim – until it was decided that the information was now to be kept hidden from this modern generation.
And yet, in many different and even strange ways, the younger generation has been learning the secret. Just in time, too – because if the truth had not started coming out, this chapter of Jewish history in their families likely would have been lost forever.
Imagine you are one of these young people making such a potentially life-changing discovery. In many cases, it's a trip to Israel, often taken as a "good Christian to visit sites in the Holy Land" during which a feeling of "returning home" overcomes you and upon your return you share that feeling with your elderly parent who finally reveals the truth to you.
You now face quite a predicament. In most cases the decision made is not to abandon the faith of one's upbringing but rather to take an interest in learning some things about those Jewish ancestors of yours.
Based on my experiences, I would estimate that about 10 percent of those who discover they are anusim decide to embrace Judaism – a return from a 500-year exile.
Doing so, however, is far from a simple matter.
First, one must begin the difficult process of studying what it means to be a Jew. An entirely new way of life looms. A complete changeover will be anticipated. And if such a decision is made, the "fun" really starts:
You face concern from other family members that you've "gone crazy." You are hardly given an encouraging welcome into the Jewish world. You are told you must undergo a full conversion and that it will take a long time. And then you learn about Jewry's many streams and movements – some of them ready to embrace you, others more likely to push you away.
I continue to meet with and guide those anusim who sincerely wish to return to their ancestral faith. Many of my colleagues try to dissuade me from dedicating myself to this cause. And I'll admit there are times I entertain the idea of giving up.
But whenever I feel myself about to succumb to discouragement, I ask myself how I could not continue to be a part of the miracle taking place before my very eyes.
There is hope for the future of sincere anusim. They shall return to us and we shall be the stronger for that.

{Originally posted to author's website, FirstOne Through} TRUST Trust is the bedrock of a functional relationship. It enables one party to rely on the other.

In their zechus may we all come to appreciate that life is a fleeting gift and resolve to spend every precious moment of it as if it were the last.
In any event, Mr. Netanyahu after the election sought to soften his statement on Palestinian statehood and apologized for what he conceded were remarks that "offended some Israeli citizens and offended members of the Israeli Arab community."
For the past several years I have been involved with the modern-day miracle of the return of Jews to their ancient heritage following 500 years of exile. The people I refer to are known in Hebrew as anusim, a more positive term than the one often used – Marranos.
When I was asked to assume a pulpit in San Jose, California, about a year ago, I was not quite aware of the many new experiences I would find here.
Different minhagim have already been established and I leave it to each community to follow the lead and guidance of its teachers.
As the reader can see, there's plenty to keep us busy here. But Portland has a long and rich Jewish history.
No longer would I have my choice of dozens of shiurim each week at tens of locations, morning, noon, and evening. If I desired such a class I would have to attend the one that I was going to give.

The most comfortable boots I have ever worn...from the moment I put them on!!Date published: 2015-01-28Rated 5 out of 5 by JENS from After reading all the positive reviews of these hiking boots, I decided to give them a try. Now, that I have worn them a couple of times I must say, they do not disappoint. They offer a broke-in feel right out of the box and are very comfortable for extended periods of wear. Durability and toughness can only be evaluated with time, but they appear to be well-made.Date published: 2014-09-12Rated 5 out of 5 by SCOTT from Bought this hiking boots for a trip to Alaska. Perfect for the job. Lightweight, comfortable, waterproof, and breathable. They may never leave my feet.Date published: 2014-01-22Rated 5 out of 5 by DAVID from I needed a good shoe for work that was waterproof comfortable and not too hot this fits the bill.I only buy gore-tex I work in water a lot and gore-tex never wears out because its built in the boot unlike treated leather/fabric.cant beat the guide for fair pricesDate published: 2013-08-30Rated 5 out of 5 by JAMES from Still breaking them in but satisfied with my purchase.Date published: 2013-05-28Rated 5 out of 5 by DAVID W from I wear this boot as a work shoe in landscape maintenance in Florida. No other boot breathes as well as gore-tex waterproof (critical in Fl.) as this boot does & stays dry. Other "waterproof " boots w/o gore-tex are a waste of money in my opinion.Date published: 2012-11-22Rated 5 out of 5 by JOHN from It has been many years since I have ordered footwear without trying them on first. However, I decided to take a chance and order these hikers. Glad I did! These boots fit like they were custom made for me. The advertized size and width appear to be right on the money. They are very comfortable and appear to be very well made. I am excited to have the gortex lining. That was a primary factor in ordering this particular boot. They have become my "everyday" autumn footwear. Great boots!Date published: 2012-11-06Rated 5 out of 5 by JOSEPH P from THE BESTDate published: 2012-10-14

Thanks for the info, LPS...I'll check it out to see if they have distance learning, since I am in NY.
I've been teaching Special Ed at the Middle School level for 14 years, after a two-year stint in Elementary. I just finished my first assignment as a Master Teacher - hosting a "Novice" Teacher in my room for six weeks. (She did great, btw).
It's great to see such a mixture here; veterans with sage advice, enthusiastic teachers still looking for some answers, even administrators trying to find a better understanding of what really goes on in the classroom.
Hi! I've been teaching Special Ed at the high school level for 26 years. I was actually the first special ed teacher hired for the high school at this district. I began with a total of 8 students for the day. They would stay at the high school for about 2 years, get some vocational training and then drop out. We worked hard over the years to make school more meaningful for them. Translation: we were able to get the students working toward high school credits and earning thier local diplomas. Once they realized they could graduate with a diploma, the kids stayed! My class is now a 15:1:1 self contained class. I work with another self-contained classroom teacher and together we make sure the students are working toward graduation. Some leave with an IEP diploma, some with a local diploma. Some develop their basic skills enough to get back into the mainstream classes and I never see them again. Feel free to make comments. I'm proud of Special ed teachers and what they accomplish daily!
I am Joe Kerley and I wish you a good afternoon from Anchorage Alaska where I teach Life Science, Physical Science and Study Skills in a local High School. I turned to teaching after retiring from the US Navy. I spent 26 years with Navy, 14 as an enlisted man and 12 as a Commissioned Officer. I am looking forward to sharing experiences and ideas with you all.
Hi! I'm Lorraine. I've been a special education teacher for 16 years. How time flies! I have a wonderful preschool that I'm a part of. In our classroom, there is a general education teacher, myself, a general education assistant, and a special education assistant. There are approximately 15 general education preschoolers and 7 or 8 special education preschoolers. We have two sessions (same numbers of kids) per day, Monday through Thursday. Friday's are for planning and paperwork. This has been my favorite assignment so far. Unfortunately, it is one of the programs that the district is considering closing due to the massive budget cuts.
Hey Joe,
I am Todd Lotz, I live in Wisconsin, smaller city on Lake MI. I teach Junior High Special Ed (Cognitive Disabilities & Autism). I also was in the Navy 10 years active and 12 years active reserve. I retired 2002 as a Chief HM. Loved every minute of my career and still miss it.
Those experiences were great, and have helped me to manage some of the the politics in education. Hope to hear from you again.
Hi all! I'm in Nebraska's capital city and have been in the field for 7 years, having worked with a variety students with a variety of needs. My current caseload is 18 2nd through 4th graders, with an unbelievable amount of autism identifications. In fact, of the 18 I serve, 8 are autistic. All varying degrees. My school seems to be a magnet for autistic kids. Am wondering if any of you are experiencing a huge growth in this identification? As much as I love my job, the amount of time spent programming for these kids leaves me little time for "true" teaching, at least the kind of teaching I went to school to do. I love my kids, but am beginning to see the edges starting to fray on my sanity! Anyone else in that boat too?
[quote]jeanne, Northern AZ Univ has a MA in Assistive Tech. Susan Marks is the Professor I know works with the program.[/quote]
Jeanne-I took the Master's in Educational Technology route to get into Assistive Technology. A school that is closer to where you live that also offers a Master's in Assistive Technology is Simmons College in Boston. I'm not aware of any programs in New York, and I'm not aware of any online programs. You will definitely find more options for programs in Educational Technology than Assistive Technology. Know that your experience in Special Education, plus any schooling you get in Educational Technology, will make for an excellent combination in the field of Assistive Technology. Hope this helps. -Lori
Hello, everyone! My name is Lori, and I work in the field of Assistive Technology in Nevada. I have been in the field of Special Education now for 15 years. I have an MAT in Educational Technology and a BA in Special Education. I am planning to start work within the next couple of years on a PhD in Educational Psychology with an emphasis on Educational Technology.
In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, reading, and walking. I also enjoy working the occasional crossword puzzle. I try to stay away from the glow of the computer screen during my spare time because so much of my time at work is spent on the computer.
I am happy to find this group today, as I am near tears in frustration, considering leaving my position.
I have been teaching on and off for nearly 30 years, currently in my position for the last 9. I teach in Wa state and I am indentifying with Kelly from Oregon, who posted about her sanity. I am a behavior specialist originally, and decided to create a nested classroom for the autism students in our school. Depending on the year I have between 8 and 10 students in that "classroom" where I do have the equivilant of one full time para educator, with varying hours of other support. I provide inclusion opportunities whenever possible. The program has been a success.
At the same time, I am the behavior specialist for the school... of 900, with 12 to 15 other students on the above caseload with IEP's. I also provide consult to the staff of that school and attend the TAT and MDT meetings each week.
I love my work and my students, but it is just too much. My school supports me as best as they can but the district will not/cannot provide anymore FTE. I just don't think I can to it anymore and I am at a crossroads. I keep trying to think out of the box but feel completely tapped out. As I read the posts here and the caseloads it is validating that I am in over my head. If anyone has other ideas or thoughts, I would be more than happy to read!!!!
Have a good Monday too!!!

Fresh Air Weekend: Maron, Violent Minds And A Classic Documentary
Originally published on Sat May 4, 2013 12:44 pm
Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
Marc Maron: A Life Fueled By 'Panic And Dread': The comedian turned his life around when he started "WTF with Marc Maron" out of his garage in 2009. He has parlayed the popularity of the podcast into a new television show called Maron, based on his life, as well as a new memoir.
Criminologist Believes Violent Behavior Is Biological: In a new book, The Anatomy of Violence, Adrian Raine argues that violent behavior has a biological basis just like depression or schizophrenia. This raises questions about treatment, accountability and punishment, including the death penalty.
Peeling Away The Layers In A 'Portrait Of Jason': In her classic '60s documentary, Shirley Clarke profiles a loquacious 33-year-old gay hustler who dreams of having a nightclub act. Her subject could hardly be more complex — and in examining him, she raises important questions about the relationship between fact and fiction.
You can listen to the original interviews here:

Find Coos Bay industrial buildings for lease, retail rentals, & Coos Bay shops. Locate a Coos Bay warehouse lease and any real estate for lease / investment, including industrial properties to rent and sale.
As companies grow they must either relocate and sometimes extend their existing lease, and as information technology advances, they inescapably have to deal with landlords with far more experience with commercial properties. The absence of defining the lease requirements at an early stage can lead to confusion and time delays. Employing an experienced Coos Bay broker will ensure business owners being made aware of all the areas available in a local market and remove much of the unnecessary issues.

I was shocked how much they charge for the false bottom, so I looked around and found that "MoreBeer" has a false bottom for their 8 gallon kettle that looked like it should fit the 10 gallon MegaPot. It fits perfect, and it's a lot cheaper. FYI

Too bad Chiney didn't have better offensive support on the perimeter to keep defenses from collapsing in on her and double- and triple-teaming her. If she had had reliable support on the perimeter -- good trey shooters and women who could drive and finish or dish to her for layups -- she'd have been even more amazing on O than she was (and she was great) and Stanford would have been in the Final Four with an excellent chance of getting to the championship game. She fully deserved first-team All-American honors.

When it comes to aphrodisiacs and boosting libido, top of the list will probably be to feast on oysters. Research has shown that the zinc present in oysters is essential when it comes to sex. And oysters contain more zinc per serving than any other food. There are many other health benefits associated to zinc but excessive zinc intake also has its acute adverse
effects. These effects include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea and headaches. Needless to say, an oyster overload is not usually the best idea and definitely not the instant fix to get your libido pumping. The good news is that in addition to oysters there are several other sex boosting foods out there.
The humble fruits are nature's gifts to man. Not exactly the most exciting choice but they excel in nourishing, healing and in addition, eating the right fruits also help improve our sex life. You have it right- fruits and vegetables are aphrodisiacs.
Our mind is perhaps the most important element when it comes to sex. Great sex beings in our brains and to have great sex, the process must begin in our mind which explains pornography. Although we may say that it isnot our good intentions to promote it here. To achieve the state of mind forsex, we must firstly, not be bogged down by stress. Be it work, family or health stress. Stress is bad for our general health also kills our mood and dulls
our responses in the bedroom. Stress can also trigger a mild depression and which kills our mood and interest in sex. An obvious case in point, the ever common -"I've a headache". We shall explore ways to cure this 'headache' permanently.
Fruits that help to combat this stress should be included in our diets. For starters, orange with the vitamin C in them fights the free radicals generated from stress in our system. Other fruits
that are rich in antioxidants include blueberries, plums or cherries follow.These fruits will help to protect our cells and to prevent plaque build-up in the veins and lower cholesterol. This is important because good circulation is essential when it comes to sex and arousal as the blood needs to pump efficiently around our body especially the sexual organs.
To turn the mood up, avocados are the fruits of choice. They are full of vitamin B6 which increases the production of the male hormones, this helps in getting us into the mood. Avocados also contain potassium which helps to regulate the female thyroid gland which in turn controls the female hormones and setting the mood right.
Other foods that can also help to release subtle pheromones in us which are sexual chemicals messages picked up by the opposite sex, similar to bees to honey. In this celery is the food of choice. Celery contains something called androsterone which will boost or trigger sexual desire by releasing desirable scents and signals. You do not need to buy any special
scent to attract your mate, celery will enable your body to secrete your natural scent to do the job.
There you have it, enjoy your fruits

4 o'clock seed question

Here is a picture of different size 4 o'clock seeds that I have collected from my plants. At first the ones I collected were the size on the left.

While speaking with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network, Ted Cruz said that he hopes and prays that God put him in the position he is in today.
Cruz told Brody that "far too many Christians have ceded the public arena to people who aren't believers," urging pastors to become "watchmen on the wall" who will act "just like Esther" in the fight to save America.
Brody also hailed Cruz's father, far-right activist Rafael Cruz, for his political views that he says have "rubbed off on Cruz."
Ted Cruz, one of the U.S. Senate's most extreme and conspiratorial members, told sympathetic commentator David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network today that he plans to run a "positive, optimistic, hopeful" campaign for president that will stay out of the gutter.
"There may be other candidates who get down and nasty, who get personal, who go into the gutter and launch attacks. I ain't going to be one of them, and I'm not going to reciprocate," Cruz said, before clarifying that he does plan to "contrast" his record with that of other candidates. "The Scripture gives us guidance; the word tells us 'you shall know them by their fruit.'"
When Brody asked the senator if he agrees with evangelicals who "believe that this is a Christian nation," Cruz said that America was "built on Judeo-Christian values" and "built by people of faith, men and women of faith, who were fleeing persecution."
Don Feder of the World Congress of Families greeted Ted Cruz's presidential campaign announcement at Liberty University by arguing that while "there will never be another" Ronald Reagan, Cruz comes pretty close.
Just like Cruz, Feder said in his column yesterday, Reagan too "alienated the Republican establishment" and had been labeled as "too extreme" and "too flamboyant" by naysayers who believed he had "absolutely no chance of becoming president."
Feder said that Cruz picked up the baton from Reagan by declaring his bid at Liberty University, citing Reagan's ties with Liberty-founder Jerry Falwell and his support for the Religious Right movement.
"Ronald Reagan was unique; there will never be another like him," Feder said. "But like Reagan, Cruz understands the power of an army of passionate idealists — people who aren't moved by marginal tax rates or the profit margin of the Fortune 500, but by family, faith and freedom."
Cruz is a throwback to another presidential contender – one who was also "too extreme," alienated the Republican establishment, was too flamboyant (appeared in Technicolor in a monochrome field) and, the pundits assured us, had absolutely no chance of becoming president.
Much has been made of Cruz's choice of a venue to launch his presidential campaign – Liberty University (founded by "televangelist" Jerry Falwell, the media elite sneered) – and his faith-based message. "God's blessing has been on America from the very beginning of this nation, and I believe God isn't done with America yet."
Cruz told the students of this Christian university: "I believe in you. I believe in the power of millions of courageous conservatives rising up to reignite the promise of America."
On August 21, 1980, Ronald Reagan addressed 15,000 conservative Christians in Dallas. As church leaders, "I know you can't endorse me," Reagan famously told them. "But I want you to know that I endorse you and what you are doing." Among them was Jerry Falwell.
Reagan said the Bible held the answers to all of America's problems of the day and that if we would only return to that "old-time religion," we could realize the dream of a shining "city on a hill."
Ronald Reagan was unique; there will never be another like him. But like Reagan, Cruz understands the power of an army of passionate idealists – people who aren't moved by marginal tax rates or the profit margin of the Fortune 500, but by family, faith and freedom.
WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah has been trying to backtrack on his years of promoting birther conspiracy theories about President Obama, which center around the claim that Obama was born abroad and has a fraudulent Hawaiian birth certificate, in order to promote his new favorite GOP presidential candidate: Ted Cruz.
Farah, who has suggested in the past that Obama is ineligible to be president because he was secretly born abroad to an American mother and a Kenyan father, does not seem to have a problem with Cruz, who – unlike Obama – was actually born abroad. Cruz has an American mother and a father who was a Cuban national at the time of his birth.
The champion of the birther cause praised Cruz in a column this week as a Reagan-like leader who could not only win the presidency in a landslide but could also stand "on his own two feet without the assistance of a teleprompter," which Farah hails as "refreshing after six years of Barack Obama."
It's been a long time since I've heard any political figure do what Sen. Ted Cruz did yesterday in his announcement he is seeking the Republican nomination for the presidency.
He delivered an electrifying, motivational, rousing case for liberty – explaining why it's not too late, why Americans don't need to lower their expectations, how this country has overcome greater odds in its history.
He is going to be a formidable candidate. More importantly, he's a breath of fresh air for giving Americans hope again – the kind of hope we haven't had since Ronald Reagan was articulating his vision of national renewal.
He does it standing on his own two feet without the assistance of a teleprompter – also refreshing after six years of Barack Obama.
I am not making an endorsement for the presidency here. But I am giving Ted Cruz a big hallelujah, a heartfelt amen.
This is the way I wish other Republicans and conservatives would talk. There's a reason Ronald Reagan, with similar views, was able to win landslide victories in the 1980s. It's because he was the Great Communicator. Ted Cruz may be one, too.
Unlike most of my colleagues in the media, I like that Ted Cruz denies man-made catastrophic climate change. Why? Because it's not real. It's a scam for more government control over the lives of individual citizens. It's one of the biggest and worst collectivist schemes in history.
Unlike most of my colleagues in the media, I like that Ted Cruz helped shut down the government. I'd like to see much of the federal government permanently shut down to be in line with the limits of the Constitution.
Unlike most of my colleagues in the media, I like that Ted Cruz invoked God and liberty so frequently in his announcement.
I don't think he's out of step with mainstream American values. Not at all. I think his message is going to resonate. He's a serious contender.
If Ted Cruz is so proud of his anti-immigrant stance, why won't he talk about it in Spanish?
In launching his campaign this week, Ted Cruz released an English-language video celebrating both his immigrant history and his work "putting everything on the line to stop President Obama's illegal and unconstitutional amnesty." But in the Spanish-language version, Cruz again celebrates his immigrant history, but makes no mention of his anti-immigrant leadership.
Read People For the American Way's statement calling out Cruz for his doublespeak.
Ted Cruz personally called Glenn Beck last Friday night to inform him that he was going to be announcing his run for the presidency on Monday morning. As Cruz walked off the stage at Liberty University yesterday after making the announcement, he immediately called into Beck's radio program. Beck's entire program last night was dedicated to hailing and defending Cruz. Today, Cruz once again called into Beck's radio show where he declared that he is "very proud" to "stand together happily" with Beck while making his run for the White House.
After declaring that his presidential announcement was "electric" and "inspiring," Cruz told Beck that it was made even better by the fact that "the very first voice I spoke to after the announcement speech was you."
After Beck noted that "being our friend" might not necessarily be a good thing for Cruz's campaign, Cruz assured him that "I am very proud to dance with who brung me."
"We will stand together happily," Cruz promised:
In launching his campaign today, Ted Cruz released an English-language video celebrating both his immigrant history and his work "putting everything on the line to stop President Obama's illegal and unconstitutional amnesty." In the Spanish-language version, Cruz again celebrates his immigrant history, but makes no mention of his anti-immigrant leadership. In response, People For the American Way released the following statement:
"If Ted Cruz is so proud of his anti-immigrant stance, why won't he say it in Spanish?" asked Carlos A. Sanchez, Coordinator of Political Campaigns for People For the American Way. "Latino voters deserve to know about Cruz's offensive rhetoric and actions about immigrants, and it's unacceptable that he's trying to hide his record from us."
Earlier today, Sen. Ted Cruz announced his campaign for president at Liberty University (LU), the ultraconservative school established by Jerry Falwell. His decision to choose Liberty is rather telling, considering that LU is a radically right-wing university with a law school staffed by some of the most viciously anti-gay Religious Right activists operating today.
Of course, given that LU itself was founded by Falwell, who blamed gay people for 9/11, this should not come as much of a surprise.
From the founding of Liberty's law school in 2004 until last year, Mat Staver served as dean while also serving as chairman of Liberty Counsel, an anti-gay hate group, which has deep ties to the university. Staver is among the leading anti-gay Religious Right activists today and has a long anti-gay record, having blamed the 2008 financial crisis on banks that "actively promoted the homosexual agenda" and has said that lawmakers who support marriage equality "are not competent for public office." He has repeatedly called for a "revolution" to protest gay equality and warned that gay rights laws will increase violent crime, kill people, lead to "forced homosexuality," and eventually destroy America and western civilization.
Staver continues to call for a revolution to fight gay marriage and is currently leading an effort to get anti-gay Christians to ignore any Supreme Court decision striking down gay marriage bans, saying that refusing to obey such a ruling is like refusing to turn a Jew over to the Nazis:
When Staver announced his resignation from Liberty's law school last year, LU President Jerry Falwell, Jr. announced that Rena Lindevaldsen would take over as interim dean. Lindevaldsen previously served as senior litigation counsel at Liberty Counsel, where she was the lead attorney in a custody case involving Lisa Miller, an "ex-gay" woman who kidnapped her daughter and fled the country rather than abide by court-ordered custody arrangements with her former partner. Lindevaldsen even wrote a book about the saga while she and Liberty Counsel continue to insist that they have no knowledge of Miller's whereabouts, despite the fact that she was reportedly living at a home in Nicaragua owned by the father of an administrative assistant working at the Liberty University Law School.
Furthermore, Staver and Lindevaldsen even reportedly taught a class at Liberty based on the Miller case in which students were instructed that the "right" thing for a Christian lawyer to do in a case such as this would be to counsel their client that they have an obligation to ignore the law and court orders and instead engage in "civil disobedience" to uphold God's law. In 2012, the school was hit with a lawsuit over its alleged involvement in Miller's kidnapping.
When Lindevaldsen spoke at a right-wing conference earlier this month, she told the audience at a breakout panel on "sexual rebellion" that when fellow conservative Christians ask her what the "big deal" is about LGBT rights, she responds that "it's a big deal because it's a big deal to God." Marriage equality, she told the enthusiastic audience, matters to God because it is "the heart of where Satan's attacking":
Matt Barber is another Liberty University/Liberty Counsel crossover. He formerly served as vice president of Liberty Counsel Action and still co-hosts Liberty Counsel's daily radio program with Staver, while also holding positions as associate dean and adjunct professor at Liberty.
Baber happens to be one of the most viciously anti-gay bigots operating today, as demonstrated by his view that homosexuality is nothing more than "one man violently cramming his penis into another man's lower intestine and calling it "love.'"
He has said that marriage equality mocks God and desecrates the Church, declared that the Defense of Marriage Act was necessary to prevent children from becoming gay and getting AIDS, said that gay teens end their own lives because they "know that what they are doing is unnatural, is wrong, [and] immoral," proclaimed gay adoption to be "tragic," "unconscionable," and "reprehensible," and warned that gay activists are seeking to poison the minds of children and are "running interference for the pedophile movement."
Barber has called marriage equality the "bidding of the Devil" and warned that by legalizing same-sex marriage, America is " tempting the wrath of God." He claims that HIV/AIDS is divine punishment for homosexuality. He has described homosexuality as a "cancer" that prompted Noah's flood and will ultimately lead to Communism. Barber has said that Satan is behind gay rights efforts, asserting that demonic "spiritual pressure" was driving the campaign to end the Boy Scouts of America's ban on gay members.
He has supported repressive anti-LGBT regimes around the world, praising Russian President Vladimir Putin's anti-gay crackdown and saying he'd like to see a ban on "gay propaganda" in the U.S., as well as defending Uganda's harsh criminal penalties for LGBT people.
Last year, Barber launched BarbWire.com, a right-wing website that quickly became an online repository for pieces written by some of the most viciously anti-gay pundits active today.
Several other anti-gay activists also hold teaching positions at Liberty University, including Shawn Akers, who has said that measures to prevent the bullying of LGBT youth are "a form of indoctrination and reeducation that smacks of socialist and Communist countries" and accused gay rights advocates of bullying Christians and persecuting them in the same way as Adolf Hitler persecuted Jews.
Judith Reisman is also a professor at Liberty - that is, when she is not busy fighting to criminalize pornography or claiming that schools are brainwashing children into becoming gay and that gay rights advocates are emulating the Nazis. Reisman has claimed that the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network's Gay-Straight Alliances are modeled after the Hitler Youth and promote pedophilia.
Ken Blackwell, who earlier this month blamed gay activists for racist chants and blamed shooting sprees on gay marriage, likewise holds a teaching position at the university. Blackwell has previously compared gay people with arsonists and kleptomaniacs and same-sex couples with farm animals.
Any way you cut it, it is clear that Liberty University is home of a slew of anti-gay bigots. The fact that Ted Cruz chose this as the venue at which to announce his presidential campaign speaks volumes.
This morning Ted Cruz asked the Liberty University students who attended his (mandatory) speech announcing his campaign for president to "imagine" an America without President Obama but instead a country led by "courageous conservatives," such as Ted Cruz.
After pledging to "stand up for the First Amendment rights of every American," Cruz said that while Obama is using the government to "undermine our values" and unfairly target Christians, he would "defend the sanctity of human life and uphold the sacrament of marriage."
RWW's Paranoia-Rama takes a look at five of the week's most absurd conspiracy theories from the Right.
This week, we learned from the Right that gay people and immigrants are out to destroy our freedoms, with the help of President Obama, who is secretly preparing to stay in office for a third term.
5) Gay Marriage Threatens Freedom
Speaking with an Iowa talk show host this week, Sen. Ted Cruz once again appealed to the anti-gay Right when he railed against judges, like the members of the Iowa Supreme Court, who strike down bans on same-sex marriage. Cruz alleged that such rulings pose " a real danger to our liberty" and are in defiance of the Constitution:
Ken Blackwell of the Family Research Council also described marriage equality as a threat to freedom this week, writing that the Supreme Court is "headed for another Dred Scott opinion" if it finds same-sex marriage bans to be unconstitutional, referring to the ruling which said that African Americans could not be U.S. citizens.
"If the Court overturns marriage, it will not only further delegitimize itself as an institution, it will gravely damage American society," he said. "And it will undermine the 'consent of the governed' — the only basis for just laws."
Blackwell, notorious for his efforts as Ohio's secretary of state to stifle voting in the 2004 election, went on to compare judges who rule in favor of marriage equality to officials in the Jim Crow South who restricted the voting rights of African Americans: "We should remember Selma and the 'Bloody Sunday' that was necessary to achieve the too-long-denied equal voting rights for all our citizens. Today, rogue federal judges are engaged in the most massive case of voter suppression we have seen since the days of Jim Crow! Across the country, but especially in the South, black Americans joined other citizens in voting to affirm true marriage."
But neither Blackwell nor Cruz can claim the prize for the most distraught outburst against gay marriage of the week, as that honor belongs to Indiana politician John Price, who suggested that Americans should "flee" the U.S. before the Supreme Court rules on marriage rights.
4) Gay Twilight Zone
So how exactly does LGBT equality threaten freedom?
Well, according to Texas GOP Chairman Tom Mechler, writing in an op-ed titled " Free speech, rights are under attack," the LGBT rights movement is threatening his freedom not to see photos of gay people:
I've watched with dismay the controversy surrounding Amarillo Town Club's family membership policy, which was placed prominently before our community by the Amarillo Globe-News on March 2 with its front-page article showing a picture of two angry-looking homosexual women.
The story was also mentioned by a reader in a letter to the editor (Letter: Shame on Amarillo Town Club, March 6, amarillo.com) who believed the business' conduct was "shameful."
Shameful? Sometimes I feel like we are living in the twilight zone.
Mechler went on to write that people who criticize his view that same-sex marriage shouldn't be legalized are actually attacking the freedom of speech: "What I find troubling is the incredible attack that has been launched on free speech. I love this country, and as an American the Bill of Rights gives me the right to say what I please."
3) Immigrants Will Take Your Guns
Gun Owners of America executive director Larry Pratt is a staunch opponent of immigration reform since he believes that new citizens will vote Democratic and "take away our guns."
Pratt expanded on this theory in an interview with Armed America Radio recently, explaining that immigrants have a "dependent mentality" and thus don't understand what it's like to want to protect yourself from bodily harm.
"A dependent class that depends on the government for their income, for all kinds of financial and other assistance, is not generally of a mind to be able to protect itself, which is after all the most important part about living, is staying alive from one moment to the next in case some dirtbag wants to try to terminate you," he said. "And if you don't think enough of your own freedom to take charge of that aspect of your existence, then of course you're likely to expect handouts and 'more, more, more' because you have a dependent mentality."
2) Another Petraeus Conspiracy Theory
When David Petraeus resigned as CIA director in response to allegations, to which he has since pled guilty, that he leaked classified information to a woman with whom he was having an affair, several conservative pundits rallied to his defense. According to these commentators, along with at least one GOP congressman, Petraeus was actually the victim of an Obama administration plot to stop him from exposing the truth about the 2012 Benghazi attack. In reality, since leaving the CIA, Petraeus has dismissed conspiracy theories surrounding the Benghazi attack and praised then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's response.
On Wednesday, as Media Matters notes, Rush Limbaugh made a similar claim, alleging that administration officials knew Petraeus was leaking sensitive material but "kept it in reserve" and acted on it only "when Petraeus refused to go out and spout the company line on Benghazi." Limbaugh said that Clinton knew that this cover-up of the cover-up occurred, and that is why she used a personal email account at the State Department: "And so Mrs. Clinton knew that they knew, because she was secretary of state when they sent Petraeus out there to spout the company line and refused to do it. Plus she knew Obama — so that server is to keep things from Obama."
1) Obama's Third Term!
WorldNetDaily editor Joseph Farah wants his readers to know that he takes very seriously concerns "out there across the fruited plain" that President Obama will defy the U.S. Constitution and remain in office after the end of his second term. In fact, WND is so worried about this conspiracy theory that it even asked potential GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson how the American people can stop Obama's (non-existent) plot.
Since "Obama himself may not even be constitutionally eligible for office," according to Farah, there is reason to believe that "he and his family might remain in Washington after leaving office" since he has no respect for the Constitution anyway. After all, Farah believes that the Obama family enjoys lavish vacations and is "living it up" on the taxpayers' dime so much that they may refuse to leave the White House.
Farah even suggested that groups like People For the American Way are paving the way for the third Obama term since there is "simply no organized opposition to Obama's illegal, criminal actions and behavior." The only one who can stop Obama, Farah writes, may be Hillary Clinton.
Sen. Ted Cruz told Iowa talk radio host Jan Mickelson yesterday that he plans to introduce a constitutional amendment to allow states to ban gay and lesbian couples from marrying because court decisions in favor of marriage equality present "a real danger to our liberty."
The Texas Republican deflected Mickelson's questions on whether states could simply ignore a Supreme Court decision in favor of marriage equality, saying he preferred his constitutional amendment as a solution. "If the courts were following the Constitution, we shouldn't need a new amendment, but they are, as you put it quite rightly, making it up right now and it's a real danger to our liberty," he said.
Cruz told a group of Iowa pastors yesterday that judges who have made decisions in favor of marriage equality are "ignoring their oaths, ignoring the Constitution and legislating from the bench."
