The Mormon Church Supports Anti-Discrimination Law Because It Prevents 'Mind Control'
Don't let the LDS Church's support of a non-discrimination ordinance fool you: The Mormon Church remains, thoroughly and proudly, anti-gay. Not only did a church official testifying before the Salt Lake City Council remind everyone as much, but now homophobic conservatives are reaching into their dark recesses of bigotry to put it on blast.
The reason LDS supports adding sexual orientation to Salt Lake's housing and employment protected classes is because doing so, according to LDS public affairs managing director Michael Otterson, "does not do violence to the institution of marriage." Well gee, thanks!
But blogger Mike DeVine, of the conservative blog Minority Report, wants to make sure nobody confuses LDS's support for non-discrimination with the church's support of homosexuals. You know, in case that wasn't blatantly clear already.
I and most conservatives (especially including social conservatives) do not favor any government imprimatur of approval for any sexual behavior outside traditional marriage. Moreover, conservatives generally favor that rights protected by the constitution be of the individual variety, rather than group rights, especially those of a "mutable" variety such as what one Delores one's particular "orientations" to be, as opposed to the immutable characteristics of race and gender/sex.
But, we do favor prohibitions of discrimination based on religion/free speech, so in that sense people of faith could justify the Salt Lake City ordinance as prohibiting mind control. One can believe anything one wishes and still expect to be able to rent property and get a job one is otherwise qualified for. Of course, if the particular beliefs and/or speech rise to the level of advocacy that interferes with the workplace environment and/or property owners' maintenance of a habitable environment for families, then one could distinguish.
We particularly like to avoid such group distinctions when one would seek to mete out civil penalties and criminal punishments for free speech against certain behaviors or seek to diminish the value of the lives of certain groups by making it a more serious crime to harm people in other groups, especially when accompanied by a requirement to determine an "intent to hate".
That is: Being gay is the same thing as being a crazy person who believes the plot of the film 2012 will come true, since neither should preclude you from finding an apartment. And while being gay is a "mutable" characteristic — something someone chooses, and can change! — it must be protected in housing and employment because not doing so would permit "mind control."
Does no violence to the institution of Marriage? Isn't it funny how they aren't trying to attack the "No Fault" divorce laws in the country that do a HUGE amount of "Damage" to the institution of marriage as far as keeping people together goes.
They knew the law was going to pass anyway. Additionally, they have been trying to claim that they don't hate gays and that their church isn't organized from the top to fight against gay marriage. This of course was disproven when a station in Salt Lake Cith found a Memor from the head of the church back in the 90's outlining plans and outreach to begin fighting against Same sex marriage. http://www.365gay.com/news/mormons-began-plotting-against-gay-marriage-for-decade-memo-shows/
So the main issue is, this law was going to pass, the church has taken a hit from their support for Prop 8 and if they fought against a law that just said gays shouldn't be kicked out of their homes for being gay they knew it was another PR nightmare. This way, the next time they step into the Same Sex Marriage battle they can claim to not be organizationally against gays because "Look, we've supported this small local issue that was going to pass anyway."Nov 16, 2009 at 12:17 pm · @Reply ·
When I resigned from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormon Church tried to destroy my marriage. Various active Mormons, indoctrinated/brainwashed by their cult, told my wife to divorce me. They told her I would be better off dead than apostate. They reminded her of the teachings of Mormon prophets – that she would be given to another man in the afterlife, and that I was no longer a part of her "eternal family."
The Mormon Church institutionally seeks to destroy the families of ex-Mormons by isolating non-members from church-sanctioned activities like weddings, baptisms, etc. Their policies are calculated, putative, and designed to coerce members into remaining in the church against their will.
On the other hand, I've never had a Gay person try to break up my family. I've never had a Gay person tell my kids or my wife that I'm a Son of Perdition, that I'd be better off dead, or that I was a devil destined to take my family to hell. I've had Mormons say that stuff, but never a Gay person. No Gay person has ever threatened my marriage; but the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has.
There are two great lies taught by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The first lie is that the church supports families; they don't. The church uses families to coerce people into staying in the cult, and they are perfectly willing to *sacrifice* families, if necessary, in their attempts to deprive people of their agency. The second great lie taught by the LDS Church is that Gays represent a threat to marriage.
It's time to expose those lies – let's hope that the documentary about your family helps put some light on the anti-family hate that is institutionally promoted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Author of "Farewell to Eden: Coming to terms with Mormonism and science"
Its not coincidence that if you drop an "m" from "Mormon", you get "Moron". Proof of concept: (points above)
@Duwayne Anderson I am sorry you had that experience, I am even more sorry that you saw fit to leave the church. The Church of Jesus Christ of later day saints is a wonderful group, if our religious view were wrong, we are still helping people all over the world, we support families by having them sealed together forever. It makes me sad that so many people believe us so evil, especially one who was a member prior.
Mormons have a "bigoted belief system." They DO NOT believe in Equality.
This article just proves that some people are bent on being anti-Mormon bigots no matter what. Mormons don't hate gays. There are many Mormons who are gay. The LDS Church simply believes in marriage between a man and a woman — this is not news. Nevertheless, if you want to hate, go ahead. Apparently, it makes some people happy to just keep on hating no matter what.
In No 6, Something Else wrote, "Mormons don't hate gays." Technically they "hate" homosexuality, but that can lead very easily to abuse.
These Morons, um I mean Mormons need to go take a magical crap in their magical underpants.
If there were a god, certainly these people would be the 1st to be cast into hell.
At least Joseph Smith will be there waiting for them…
I don't care what they believe in. They have religious freedom. I don't care if they change their minds about homosexyality, or not. What I want to get them to understand is that my beliefs about my soul and my sexuality are as personal and sacred to me as their religious beliefs are to them. I am just as entitled to the freedom to express them in a socially benign way as they are. I should be able to express wholesome affection to all I choose. Their inclination to project their perverse imaginations into my intimate sex acts is outrageous.
I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. My convictions about the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman are deeply rooted and profoundly personal. I do not hate gays. I am not afraid of gays. I am not bigotted against gays. I work with a few of the LGBT community for whom I have a deep professional regard. Just because I do not agree with the LGBT lifestyle does not mean that I hate them or that I am afraid of them. Until LGBT'rs get off this notion, and begin to respect us for our beliefs, I don't think we are going to make much progress. The bashing against the church that goes on here does not change my mind. Thoughtful, intellectual dialog might help me understand. Until we can go to that level, I remain steadfast in my opinions. I am ready to be influenced if you all can present a reasonable arguement that is not filled with hatred, obnoxious, putrid crap.
Pete, why are hanging around in gay websites?
Pete, there is nothing more hateful, obnoxious and putrid than the discrimation – set in law and supported by the LDS cult – that exists in this country. I would certainly prefer that the discourse be civil and respectful, and you are welcome to your 'deeply rooted' beliefs handed down to you by your family (I'm frankly not interested in them), but you have to understand that until gay Americans and their families have full equality in law, then you will never hear the end of this. If you care to open your eyes and ears, you will be that the vast majority of the discourse from the various organizations representing the gay community has been extremely respectful. Why doesn't that influence you… why constant harp on about the occasional nasty post?
Yeah, Pete, and see if you can do something about those concentration camps, whatever else you call them, that's what they are, that young gays are pressured in to up there? You know what gays face with LDS. Where do you get off coming in here all holier than thou?
And what are you doing in here? Don't you know we got pictures of half naked guys here. Cute ones.
In No 10, Pete wrote: "Until LGBT'rs get off this notion, and begin to respect us for our beliefs, I don't think we are going to make much progress. The bashing against the church that goes on here does not change my mind."
Nobody cares about your beliefs if you keep them inside your church and don't try to force them on others by interfering in their private lives. If you involve yourself in political campaigns to the point of being a significant funding source, you can expect to be treated just like everyone else involved in those campaigns. As Harry Truman said, "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen."
You will not be respected if you donate large sums of money to political campaigns that resort to lie upon lie upon lie to win an election, and that is just the sort of campaign the the "Yes on Eight" side ran in California. They claimed kids would be "indoctrinated" in schools when state law allows parents to remove their children from class when a topic that conflicts with the family's religious beliefs or "moral" values is being discussed. They claimed that churches would have to perform same-sex marriage ceremonies in spite of the California Supreme Court ruling that a church would not in the decision allowing same-sex marriages. You spent massive amounts of money to deceive the voters, whether wittingly or not. Are you surprised that people are still mad about it?
Its fairly obvious that people who say that the church is a lying, bigoted organization obviously doesn't know what their talking about. if current views on what the laws should be passed that would lead not only the Mormon church but all other churches that oppose same sex marriage open to law suits for religious discrimination. their needs to be an equal balance between freedom of religion and separation of church and state. if we try to pass laws under an idea for freedom from religion that in itself is considered a religion, because that is a set of highly valued beliefs, aka a religion. am i making any sense?
Americans United for Separation of Church and State should be seriously supported by every queer from California to Maine. It's been around for a long time and all types belong, irrespective of political or sexual affiliations. Jefferson had it so right. I hope AU's roster doubles because of all of this religious ferver. I'm a Christian, but understand how dangerous it is to have any religion pushing their doctrine into American laws. 25 bucks for basic membership.
In No. 15 · "8" (Eight, not "B") wrote, "Its fairly obvious that people who say that the church is a lying, bigoted organization obviously doesn't know what their talking about."
I presume it was a coincidence that this directly followed my comment that Mormons provided a significant chunk of the funding for what might be termed a "lying, bigoted organization," the "Yes on Eight" political campaign. The Mormon Church deserves a significant level of blame for that – you don't get a free pass because the dirty work was outsourced, even if the dubious outfit you hired didn't spell out all the details for you – not when you are talking about tens of millions of dollars and not when that dubious outfit had a track record for dishonesty.

Already there. You'd think…
It's all right to have Mormon thoughts, and we'll rent to you and employ you…but start baptising the dead at the water cooler, and we will sh*t can your a$$, so fast it'll scorch them magic undies.
In response to #14. Ironically, I believe that the LDS church only got involved in the political arena only when they saw the politics get into their personal lives. When doctors are forced to preform operations that are against their religion and photographers are forced to photograph things that they find repulsive all for the sake of equality then it does get personal. When parents are not given the right to teach their children as they see fit it becomes VERY personal.
When someone can explain these things sufficiently then we may be able to come to an amicable agreement.
Also if you don't respect political campaigns that lie then how can you support the 'no on 8' when there were lies given by them saying that education would not be effected? They gave a technical truth that was blatantly misleading with the intent to deceive. In my book this is the worst kind of lie when you use technicalities knowing the truth but seeking to deceive by not giving the full truth.
As long as Mormons can present themselves in proper business attire we'll hire you.
THAT doesn't include your 6 wives wearing the Von Trapp family drapes.
We didn't photograph your Mormon missionary boys shirtless or the Mom's with their muffins hanging out….that was YOUR cult.
An LDS high ranking lawyer working on Yes on 8 and three of his co-workers sent out BLACKMAIL letters (they admitted sending) trying to extort $10,000.00 from No on 8 donors. Thats a FELONY with 4 yr sentence….PER LETTER.
"Yes on 8 Launches Blackmail Campaign
Campaign leaders seek to shake down small businesses."
"The letter was signed by four members of Yes on 8's executive committee: campaign chairman Ron Prentice; Edward Dolejsi, executive director of the California Catholic Conference; Mark Jansson, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; and Andrew Pugno, ProtectMarriage.com's lawyer. A donation form was included with the letter."
any of the serving any prison time, did they pay a dime of the thousands of fines, did the lawyer get disbarred?
LDS tortured gay teens at Buttars' Boys ranch for months and years, making them run in freezing nights in their underwear housing them with junkies, and violent discipline problem THUGS.
see Mormon gulags
Mormons LIED about their in-kind-donations to prop 8.
saying it was $2000.00
they gave NINETY TIMES THAT
You might want to go back to Deseret News….cuz I was raised by a Mormon mother who converted, and I have 100 LDS extended family members who love and respect me as openly gay, and you aren't on a Mormon site censoring anything they don't want you to read and I'm JUST GETTING WARMED UP.
QUIT attacking OUR (LGBT) families in other states and we might speak rationally and calmly with you. If you had done to ANY other minority what you did to our families in Hawaii, Arizona, California, and Maine….you would be chased out your 5th state and your temples would be ashes.
Thinking strategically, does this article really help the cause? Do the comments really win the battle for hearts and minds?
AJ–There is no winning the hearts and minds of people who are determined to foster the prejudices they hold. Circle 'round and 'round, like my cat chasing her tail, it will be just as effective.
Sorry David, No.4, you bet your sweet ass we view you as evil. I have friends who used to be LDS but they left after the fiasco with Prop 8. All organised religion is mind control and warped.
No 6 – then explain to me why a very dear friend of mine, who was LDS, completed suicide after long talks with the ward chairman or whatever you call that person. He made my friend feel like a useless and worthless being because of who he was. I'm sorry, yours, and all religions should be taxed and / or put out of business. I'm an equal opportunity religion despiser.
And Pete, we would welcome that if the churches didn't treat us with hatred, etc. It's a two way street mate – –
And now the big question – is gay marriage so horrible to you that the millions of dollars raised to fight it instead could have done SO much good for the homeless, the hungry, the children with no warm coats for the winter? I cannot understand anyone raising that much money to fight marriage equality, which in no way threatens straight marriage, when it was just announced today there are 49,000,000 hungry americans. Jesus must be so pleased with those who say they follow him. The utter hypocrisy escapes me. Remember, a marriage license is issued by the government, not the church. The church only does their routine as a matter of show, it has no legal bearing whatsoever. That's what so many seem to forget. The service in the church is NOT legally binding.
State laws in Utah are ultimately enforced by the Utah Supreme Court, which is dominated by LDS Mormon cult-members. Gay people have as much chance at justice in Utah, regardless of any laws, as they did under the courts of the Third Reich (speaking of "religious" "leadership" that gives money to violate human rights, LDS cult leadership is like the Vatican, hellbent on violating other people's human rights. It is worth noting that every Roman Catholic student has to listen to the awkward and hollow explanations of the Vatican about why they didn't excommunicate Adolf Hilter, who remained a Roman Catholic in good standing throughout his reign of terror in carrying out the Holocaust. The Holy See apparently still remains on that crusade – just ask the victims of the Spanish dictator Franco, decades later, who was also never excommunicated while committing mass atrocities against other Roman Catholics. That's why Spaniards do not trust Roman Catholic leadership that answers to the Vatican. Vatican employees are evil).

This is a lie. You were bigoted against blacks until the bad P.R. forced your church to change the rules and let them beome full members. Your church still trumpets how instrumental they were in preventing the Equal Rights Amendment from passing which would have constitutionally given women equal rights. Your church has fought equality for ANY group outside of White Mormons whenever it had a chance. Your church has NEVER taken the side of equality. It is bigoted and hate filled to the core.
Mormons who come out are not allowed to maintain full membership in the church unless they denouce homosexuality and proceed to go back in the closet and act straight. Families are told to cut off their gay children because they are not really their children anymore, they have been taken over by evil. Large numbers of these kids are kicked out of their homes or end up killing themselves. But of course the Mormons that come on here will never admit that. The Mormons who come on here are given a script that basically says "Play the victim". Mormons maintain their membership roles by continually preaching about how the rest of the world is against them, it makes the outside world seem scary and they think it makes Mormons less likely to leave the church. THAT is why they keep coming on here and acting like they are such victims. Hey, idiots. If you pull a gun on us and start shooting and we yell "Stop shooting us!" Guess, what? YOU are not the victim there.

Nice try sweetie, but the head of your church was plotting to throw a wrench into the gay rights struggle over a decade ago. You may want to take a look at this memo that outlines a long term strategy by your church to fight against gay rights.
Tax them.
They've already done their dirty work in California and Maine. They're coming in here now to try to beat us down preparatory to Romney running in 2012, so he can be all smiley face and clean cut and benign, while he's putting mormons on the Supreme Court and filling federal appointments. Imagine a mormon in charge of the CDC or the Dept. of Education. Not to mention all the other places they'd have a free hand to go after us.
And they would. Mormons have little sense of proportion. They are insular, closed-minded, and basically ignorant of the world outside of their little microcosm. Hell, they're ignorant of their own world — look at all the ex-mormons here.
I am a Mormon with a gay mother who has had a partner for around 13 years. I consider both of them "mom" becuase they raised me and I never knew my dad. I love them both and have met many wonderful gay and lesbians they assoiciate with.
My mom and I disagree on religion. But, when it comes to believe, this is mormon vs. gay….
This is belief vs. belief about what marriage constitutes in the United States.
Many People and groups believe that homosexuality is a sin and that is why marriage rights shouldn't be granted.
Many other groups believe the exact opposite. Given that I come from a very unique position on this I think that both sides of the debate need to realize that the matter will either be voted on or determined in court. In other words, the great poeple of the nation will ultimately choose.
What is wrong is hate against one or the other. The LDS church doesn't hate homosexuals. The Lds chruch hates the acts of unwed sexual relationships. But, a lot of mormon people turn the hate to gays and lesbians erronselly and many gays and lesbians turn to hating mormons simply because they are mormon and beleive something.
Everyone here…..I am a Mormon My Mother is a Lesbian….We disagree on what we think go is ok or not ok with. But, that disagreement doesn't become actual hate towards individuals.
I am sure you will read through this and many will come up with slide comments to attack me instead of keeping it issue focused but bottom line is if you do….you are no better than what you are supposedly trying to fight.
And mormons and homosexuals need to last remember. If they don't like what is going on in America there are other countries to move to. From my very involved expeirience…..neither group is ever going to change the other.
please excuse the mass spelling mistakes. I will proof read next time.

UNESCO supports the commitment of Jordanian journalists on gender-balanced reporting
As part of the UNESCO project 'Enhancing Professional and Accurate Media on the Electoral Process in Jordan', the Jordan Media Institute, partner of the initiative, held a workshop on Gender-Balanced Reporting to Jordanian journalists. The mentioned Project is funded by the European Union and is implemented in the framework of the reformed electoral process in Jordan and the 2013 parliamentarian and municipal elections.
"UNESCO believes that gender discrimination is a violation of human rights, and therefore a barrier to peace, sustainable development and the achievement of all internationally recognized development goals. Media has a highly relevant role in the fight against stereotyping of women and inequality in women's access to and participation, particularly in electoral processes", commented Dr. Anna Paolini, Head of UNESCO Amman Office and UNESCO Representative in Jordan.
The workshop, conducted by Ms. Randa Nafaa, Gender and Development Specialist, and Ms. Rana Husseini, journalist and gender equality activist, tackled issues such as gender discrimination in the media and reporting on gender issues during elections.
"Our aim was to stimulate a dialogue on gender equality and engage participants in a process that could have positive practical implications on gender sensitive reporting. Participants have emphasized that the training helped them not only acquire new knowledge and skills in gender, but also reminded them of the basics of accurate, clear and fair reporting in objective journalism. For some, it meant changing their entire perspective and acquiring a new attitude at both the personal and professional level," commented Ms. Nafaa after the sessions conducted.
Attending the workshop were 22 journalists, over half of which were women. The workshop was followed by enriching and inspiring debates on how to cover gender issues from a journalistic perspective. "This training has definitely brought to our attention the urgent need to channel more capacity building resources to bring about a change in the traditional perceptions of journalists, bloggers and activists and to highlight the intimate relationship between human rights and gender sensitivity", assessed Yasar Durra, Director of Training at Jordan Media Institute.
"Arab societies still keep the patriarchal family structure and although the role of women has evolved a lot in the last years, still we suffer from gender inequality. Unfortunately media has not tackled this issue thoroughly so far and also the so-called 'Arab spring' did not particularly focus on this matter, so journalists should make a commitment to increasing awareness of the issue and to report on gender inequality cases," said Moath Qatatsheh from Transparency Jordan who also attended the workshop.

Skip to comments.Supreme Court to talk about Obama 3rd time Berg eligibility case set for conference Jan. 9
Posted on 12/19/2008 12:23:50 PM PST by Red Steel
One of the original legal challenges to President-elect Barack Obama's eligibility for office to reach the U.S. Supreme Court now has been scheduled for a conference, a meeting at which the justices discuss its merits and whether to step into the fray.
Online schedules posted by the court show the case brought by attorney Philip J. Berg is set for a conference Jan. 9.
The case is one among several that already have reached the U.S. Supreme Court and address the issue of Obama's eligibility to occupy the Oval Office under the U.S. Constitution's requirement that presidents be "natural born" citizens.
Berg has submitted several requests for injunctions, seeking the court's order to stay proceedings in the electoral process until his case is heard, but the request have been rejected.
His original claim, however, remains on track to be heard.
"I know that Mr. Obama is not a constitutionally qualified natural born citizen and is ineligible to assume the office of president of the United States," Berg said in a statement on his ObamaCrimes.com website.
"Obama knows he is not 'natural born' as he knows where he was born and he knows he was adopted in Indonesia; Obama is an attorney, Harvard Law grad who taught Constitutional law; Obama knows his candidacy is the largest 'hoax' attempted on the citizens of the United States in over 200 years; Obama places our Constitution in a 'crisis' situation; and Obama is in a situation where he can be blackmailed by leaders around the world who know Obama is not qualified," Berg's statement continued.
The cases, in various ways, have alleged Obama does not meet the "natural born citizen" clause of the U.S. Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, which reads, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the

Dec 17 2008 DISTRIBUTED for Conference of January 9, 2009
Dec 17 2008 Application (08A505) denied by Justice Kennedy.
Dec 18 2008 Application (08A505) refiled and submitted to Justice Scalia.
Could you post a bio of Berg, his political affiliations, accomplishments, etc?
Just in time to wreak havoc for the inauguration!
This cat has nine lives. If Scalia pushes at getting the facts and seeing the original birth certif. this can get mighty interesting.
Hey Red, do you have any idea what the status of the Keyes case is? thanks
I hope this time the Supremes don't wuss out and have the courage to declare Obama an illegal alien and not qualified to be sworn in as President. Let it be Biden, he'll be easier to defeat in 2012.
The last I heard, the CA court will take it up in early or mid March.
The SCOTUS Conference is scheduled for the Day After the Electoral College vote is certified by Congress.
Berg, the 9/11 & BC Truther will be denied by the SCOTUS once again.
oh geez...ok...thank you. :)
Good Lord, I thought it said Third Term.
I believe SCOTUS has indicated THEY DON'T CARE by their previous denials on these other cases. They have now said they don't care about the US Constitution. If Obama were a white Republican I bet they would care!
To be clear, this case below is 08-570 a separate action from the /Application/Injunction 08A505.
"Dec 17 2008 DISTRIBUTED for Conference of January 9, 2009 "
I really wouldn't be surprised.
BUT SCOTUS has not denied any of the "Writ of Certiorari" in any of the cases. What they have denied is only the stays that were for the two elections.
Congress could certify the EC vote, but a disqualification could still occur afterward, couldn't it?
I realize that alot of people think this is a bunch of hooey, but as I'm reading this I'm thinking "Why in God's name is man letting this go the SUPREME COURT instead of just showing his damn birth certificate?" I mean honestly, at some point you have to start to wonder. I have been a "birther" for a while I guess, but just reading this today it hit home. Wasting the court's time like is ridiculous and it either shows an arrogance that a President doesn't need to have or something to hide.
I am still unable to think of any reason why Obama would not release a (redacted if the complete version has something private) copy of his full Hawaiian birth certificate, if it exists.
Could that document still be worth hiding at the enormous financial cost that he is paying for lawyers?
Does he really dismiss the damage that skeptics, truthers, and strict constructionists wondering whether he has any legal right to the job will do?
Does her really not see any difference in legitimacy between winning the legal case on a technicality or by running out the clock and making the case go away by releasing proof of his status as a natural born citizen?
I'm more worried about what his actions say regarding his attitude toward the Constitution than I am about his true citizenship. Sadly, we already knew that he hates America as it is, that his wife has never been proud of our country, that he was happy to raise his kids in a church centered on hate, and that he has no appreciation for the good that freedom and capitalism do in the world. This collection of legal challenges has shown that he also has no respect for the Constitution - no surprise to those who have read his views on the 1st and 2nd Amendments.
Thanks for the update. When I see a denial and not bein a lawyer, I think it is all over. I hope SCOTUS will get to the bottom of this once and for all. The citizens of our country deserve at least that much.
Berg was an attorney for the truthers. Basically he was doing what attorneys do. I heard an interview with him a while back and he was asked if he believed what the Truthers did. His answer was basically "Not necessarily".
Berg ping.
Wanna bet?
Yes and a clarification. If the Supreme Court find that Obama is not a 'natural born citizen' after Obama is sworn in as president, it will take Congress to act on the SCOTUS ruling to impeach him.
Many of the Obots and others think Obama will be in the clear after January 20th, not so. The liar in chief would have the biggest political problem that would rival any in history, which would dog him for the rest of his administration if Congress does not do their Constitutional duty.
For your various CertifiGate ping lists
If you want to prove that Obama was born in Kenya, all you need to do is file a FOIA Request with the State Department for them to release a copy of Obama's DS-1350 which would have been issued at the U.S. Embassy in Kenya.
Scalia may enjoy the constitutional question. After the electoral college and Congress certify, but it is still shown that the prez can't be the prez, then he can't be. Roberts won't swear him in, Scalia will laugh all the way to his chair, and Joe Biden will have to take over the oval. If only this all came to pass.
There's one problem with what you say. Obama's mommy may not have gone to the U.S. Kenyan Embassy in 1961 to file her foreign birth.
Let's get 0bama's true birth documentation, whatever it consists of, into public view. This is definitely a need to know issue.
"Who cares? There's no 'controlling legal authority' to enforce that Constitutional thingy about natural born citizens." Obamaphiles.
How is Berg following the directive of clients who lost loved ones on 911 changing anything regarding Obama's stonewalling and ineligibility?
Perhaps you would like to explain for us how Berg's past cases change the fact that Obama's father was a British citizen thus Obama lacked parents who were Anmerican citizens and is thus not natural born, and Obama has refused to reveal any of the documentation of his adult life and his actual certificate of birth wherever he was born?
You trying to assassinate Phil Berg's character in no way changes the facts and lack of regard for the Constitution Obama is gaming for yet another affirmative action benefit.
If Mother Obama did not go to the U.S. Embassy to apply for a birth certificate, how is it that she got Baby Obama into the U.S. without documentation. I for example, was born overseas and my mama had to have documentation to get me into the U.S.
I needed that BC from the U.S. Embassy to enroll in school, play Little League, set my S.S. Card, get my U.S. Passport, my DL enroll in College etc.
How do you propose Obama did all the above things without a B.C?
Finding that a Pennsylvania lawyer had committed a "laundry list of unethical actions," a federal judge has imposed more than $10,000 in sanctions and ordered the lawyer to complete six hours of ethics training..... U.S. District Judge J. Curtis Joyner's 10-page opinion in Holsworth v. Berg is packed with criticism of the conduct of attorney Philip Berg of Lafayette Hill, Pa
But the sanctions against Berg stem from his decision to file a third-party counterclaim of fraud against a pension fund that had sued his former clients, according to court papers.... Joyner blasted Berg for filing the fraud claim, calling it an "irresponsible decision" because the claim was "utterly barren of any scintilla of legal principles."
"How do you propose Obama did all the above things without a B.C?"
I dunno `cause he hasn't coughed it up—which is the whole point—but maybe by doing what a teenagers do so they can drink hard likker: faked it?
Some people "too big to risk failing Constitutional test"
SCOTUS Refuses Berg Case
"'Little people' must still meet all tests," says Court spokesman
Phil Berg is proof positive that Harvard Law produces D-minus students, too.
Wasn't Berg just a lawyer for a 911 truther? Would you cast guilt on all lawyers for what their plantiffs did or didn't do or what the plantiff may believe?
Maybe it depends on the state. I've always lived in Massachusetts, and I don't have a copy of my birth certificate. I enrolled in two colleges (UMass/Amherst and Boston University), registered to vote, got a driver's license, etc., and never had to show my birth certificate. I do not have a passport, as I have not traveled outside the United States.
Yeah, that's a pretty ugly and hateful rant against Bush and Cheney coming from Berg. Who the hell does he think he is, a CoastToCoastAM host?.
The Democrat dominated congress will refuse to impeach him, and they will be resoundly defeated in 2010. Maybe, this Birth Certificate thing has more to do with Rick Warren, putting off Don't ask Don't Tell, and other moderate to middle choices Obama is making. He is terrified of having a large percentage of Americans calling for his head with this issue unresolved.
Good question. If you have been following these threads from the beginning you would know babies did not need passports in the early 60's since they traveled on their mother's passport. However, filing an FOIA with the State Department is a good idea...cover all the bases.
I needed that BC from the U.S. Embassy to enroll in school, play Little League, set my S.S. Card, get my U.S. Passport, my DL enroll in College etc.
How do you propose Obama did all the above things without a B.C?
And you would know, if you followed these Obama citizen status threads, that Hawaii issued COLBs and birth certificates to foreign born babies up to 1972.
Oh, and you do not need a birth certificate to get a passport. The State Department accepts "Secondary evidence of U.S. Citizenship" that makes it a lot easier to game the system.
So "proving your age" to play little league baseball would have been easy for Obama because the State of Hawaii once had flimsy rules in place.
So it is better to "kill" the messenger than the message???
I think it is called that they then have elected an "usurper" as President???
Redacted sounds fine until you look at your own BC and wonder "What is in here that is so private the American People cannot see this"?
Most people use their drivers license and Social Security card as ID. They have never actually looked at their BC.
Still others have a passport and have had to present their Birth Certificate to the
Primary Evidence of U.S. Citizenship (One of the following):
Previously issued, undamaged U.S. Passport
Certified birth certificate issued by the city, county or state*
Consular Report of Birth Abroad or Certification of Birth
Naturalization Certificate
Certificate of Citizenship
*A certified birth certificate has a registrar's raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrars signature, and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office, which must be within 1 year of your birth. Please note, some short (abstract) versions of birth certificates may not be acceptable for passport purposes.
If you cannot present primary evidence of U.S. citizenship, you must submit secondary evidence of U.S. citizenship. Determine what form of secondary evidence is most appropriate for your situation based on the descriptions below. Each application is handled on a case-by-case basis. The scenarios below are intended as general guidance.
Early Public Records
If you were born in the United States and cannot present primary evidence of U.S. citizenship, you may submit a combination of early public records as evidence of your U.S. citizenship. Early public records must be submitted together with a birth record or Letter of No Record (see below). Early public records should show your name, date of birth, place of birth, and preferably be created within the first five years of your life. Examples of early public records are:
Baptismal certificate
Hospital birth certificate
Census record
Early school record
Family bible record
Doctor's record of post-natal care
Early Public Records are not acceptable when presented alone.
BTW, can any freepers give me pointers on how to edit this in HTML?
See post 46
Here is my take for what it is worth. (not much)
If Zero isn't a "Natural Born U.S. Citizen" then the time for bringing that to light has passed. Maybe if we had gone after it a year ago we might have gotten to the truth. Now the "moment" has been lost. Consider the following.
If Zero IS REALLY a "Natural Born U.S. Citizen" then all the delay tactics are just to set us up to look stupid.
If Zero IS NOT a "Natural Born U.S. Citizen" then the delay tactics have provided enough time for suitable "Proof" of him being a "Natural Born U.S. Citizen" to be manufactured and appropriately inserted into the record.
Does anybody here in their heart of hearts really believe that Zero, with all the money at his disposal, and all the Dems nationwide willing to break laws, blatantly, to help him, couldn't get that done in the time allowed?
End result, we look stupid.
Personally, I believe in the second scenario....But that's just my take.
One of these Obama non-citizenship cases is going to pop! In baseball, a superstar batting .333 actually fails 2/3 of the time. An NBA player is good if he shoots over 50% (which means he missed half the time). The bottomline is, each of these cases digs just alittle bigger hole.
Somebody the other day quoted an old political aphorism: "Never interrupt your opponent when he's making a mistake."
Anyone who wonders what Obama gains by not releasing his birth certificate only has to read these threads to see the schism this is creating in conservative ranks. Why would he stop that?

TUNKHANNOCK, Pa. — Gov. Tom Corbett is taking a three-day kayaking trip on the Susquehanna River to promote tourism and Pennsylvania's natural resources.
Corbett and his entourage of officials from several state agencies — each in individual kayaks — set out this morning from Tunkhannock in Wyoming County. They plan to be in the water until noon, and the Republican governor plans an afternoon meeting with local tourism officials.
On Thursday, the group plans to paddle into Luzerne County, where they will visit Frances Slocum State Park and a local business. They trip is scheduled to end Friday in Wilkes-Barre.
Spokeswoman Kelli Roberts says Corbett is using the kayak his wife gave him as a birthday present.

STATE COLLEGE — Penn State trustees chairwoman Karen Peetz won't run for another term as leader of the university's governing body, but will remain on the board.
The school made the announcement Tuesday, five days after Bank of New York Mellon promoted Peetz to president of the company effective Jan. 1. Peetz is the CEO of the bank's financial markets and treasury services business.
In a statement, Peetz cited the demands of her new post at BNY Mellon as a reason for not running for another one-year term as trustees chair.
A trustee since 2010, Peetz took over as chairwoman this past January. She has led the board's efforts to reform university governance in the aftermath of the child sex abuse scandal involving retired Penn State assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.

Select soccer players help raise $5,800 for Relay for Life
POULSBO — Two Relay for Life teams, with players from the NK Select FC '95 soccer team, were able to raise more then $5,000 for the American Cancer Society.
Betsy's Squad and Surviving & Thriving with Betsy raised a combined $5,800. The Relay teams fundraised the third and fourth highest amounts for the Cancer Society, out of the participants in the 2013 Relay for Life of North Kitsap.
The soccer players raised money from wristband sales and pay-to-play soccer tennis. The team ran and walked more than 220 laps during the North Kitsap Relay event July 26-27.
The fundraising effort for the American Cancer Society was the soccer team's charity for 2013. The $5,800 is more than 10 percent of the North Kitsap Relay's event total this year.

My opinion about this book would be much higher if it had not claimed to be a learning book. The intended audience are people with basic familiarity of HTML, and the authors "don't assume that you know anything about programming or scripting." If you fall into this category, I'd wouldn't recommend this book.
It starts with a couple gentle introductory chapters, followed by a very dense syntax dump in the third chapter. The intended reader may survive the sink or swim approach, but I suspect they're more likely to give up after that chapter. The now requisite Ajax chapter towards the end seems quite out of place, again because of the context of non-programmers just picking up scripting.
The rest of the book is a collection of useful examples in a cookbook style, with line-by-line annotations of the code (however not explaining the syntax specifically). If you learn by watching, or if you already write code and are looking for a good JavaScript cookbook, you'll be happy to have this on your shelf. If you've never coded a loop before, you'll need other books to really learn the mechanics.
Strengths: good cookbook for experienced programmers, sprinkled with useful tips (albeit buried in code explanations).
Weaknesses: way too much information that a learner has to take on faith, narrow column format drastically reduces code readability.

James Woodling, 25, of Stroudsburg, pleaded guilty to possession of a handgun without a permit, a second-degree crime punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Woodling and four exotic dancers were arrested at Ray's Inn in Andover Township shortly after midnight on March 6, 2009, during a raid by more than 20 state, county and Andover Township law enforcement officials. The dancers were arrested on cocaine distribution and prostitution charges while Woodling was arrested after a loaded handgun was found in his vehicle that was parked at the Route 206 club.
Following the raid, Ray's Inn became a BYOB topless bar due to the number of criminal incidents at the club. The bar closed in April following the death of its longtime owner, Ray Cerasoli.
Woodling is scheduled to be sentenced Sept. 10.

Titus Vineyards places equal importance on both our viticultural and winemaking practices embracing the belief that it takes great grapes to make great wine and emphasizes the partnership between brothers.
In addition to our portfolio being exclusively red wines, all of our wines are blends. This is the cornerstone of our winemaking philosophy. We believe blending varietals completes a wine offering a superior expression of the primary grape variety, vintage, vineyard and region. This blending philosophy has become our hallmark of style, and influences our approach to every wine we make.
Eric's viticultural approach is based on low-intensity farming techniques that avoid pesticides, biocides and unnecessary fertilization. Eric believes that production of high-quality fruit begins with carefully matching the proper rootstock and variety to the particular soil of each vineyard block. The young vines are patiently trained into maturity, with little emphasis on fruit load in the early years. In mature vines, yields are kept moderate in order to maximize the evenness and rate of ripening. Shoot thinning, fruit load reduction, selective irrigation and canopy management all aid in optimizing fruit quality.
Following harvest, the grapes are de-stemmed only, rather than crushed, leaving a higher percentage of whole berries in the fermenter. This method allows Phillip increased control over tannin extraction and prevents the seeds from breaking and releasing harshness into the wine. A 48-hour cold soak is followed by high fermentation temperatures and long pump-overs with the goal of extracting as much color, flavor and structure as possible without over-extracting tannins. Grapes stay on the skins for 10-20 days before pressing. Once pressed, Phillip keeps the free run and press wine separate to evaluate the quality of each, with press wine rarely blended back into the free run. The resulting wines are aged in barrels for up to 2 years at 58 F, allowing them to mature and develop gracefully.

It was announced this morning, Shania Twain has signed an agreement with Atria Books to publish her autobiography. Atria plans to publish the book in spring 2011.
In this yet to be titled autobiography, Shania Twain shares her challenging and sometimes shockingly painful upbringing in rural Ontario, the tragic death of her mother and stepfather, her "against all odds" rise to fame in a foreign entertainment industry, the hurdles she faced as a female outsider in the male-dominated world of country music and the recent struggles in her personal life.
"When I read Shania's manuscript, it amazed me how rich, clear, unfiltered and honest she was," said Judith Curr, Executive Vice President and Publisher of Atria Books and Washington Square Press. "There is a depth that comes through in her writing. The book will be a help and inspiration to many and those who think they know her from her music will be surprised at the raw and personal place she writes from."
"There have been moments in my life I was concerned by the reality that tomorrow would never come. Recently I experienced one of those moments to an intensity that brought on a sudden urgency to document my life before I ran out of time, before I had the opportunity to share an honest and complete account of my life, in my own words. There are times in your life that are meant for reflection, and this was one of them. I began writing this book with a sincere respect for the past, present and future as something never to be taken for granted," said Shania.

10 must-see acts in this year's prime Lollapalooza lineup
More than 125 bands and about 270,000 people will descend on Chicago's Grant Park for Lollapalooza Friday through Sunday. Envisioned by Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell in 1991 and reimagined as a Chicago-based destination event in 2005, Lollapalooza has stood tall, along with Coachella in California and Bonnaroo in Tennessee, as one of the most hyped music festivals in the country.
That's for good reason: the lineup is typically stacked. Just reading some of the names of acts on this year's bill — Mumford & Sons, Postal Service, New Order, the Killers, Phoenix, Eric Church, Ellie Goulding, Vampire Weekend, Queens of the Stone Age, Icona Pop — is enough to make the heart of any serious music lover quicken.
Given Chicago's proximity, many a music fan from Milwaukee will be camping out there this weekend, including this music writer. For Lolla-bound locals, I've assembled this list of 10 must-see acts at Lollapalooza this year.
1.2 Chainz: "He's playing a smaller-size stage, so I have a feeling its going to be very, very crowded," Jacob Schneider, social media manager for the Pabst Theater, the Riverside Theater and Turner Hall Ballroom, said of the towering, chart-topping rapper. (7:15 p.m. Sunday, The Grove)
2.The Cure: The biggest set on the Lolla bill this year, the influential, English Goth-rock group gets one of the festival's last slots, and its longest set at two hours. "Their festival sets are fairly legendary," Schneider said. "They have a catalog of hits, and haven't changed their sound or their integrity." (8 p.m. Sunday, Red Bull Sound Select)
3.Disclosure: The English electronic dance music brother team has been getting a good deal of buzz around its debut album "Settle," released this year. "I'm a DJ and have been playing a lot of their tracks, and everyone is digging it," said Chris Vrakas, head of Wisconsin operations for Chicago concert promotion and production company React Presents. (6 p.m. Friday, the Grove)
4.Guards: This dreamy yet edgy indie rock band, fronted by Richie Follin (brother of Cults' Madeline Follin) was one of the surprise standout performers at the South by Southwest Music Conference in Austin, Texas, in March. (Noon Sunday, Lake Shore)
5.Half Moon Run: Fresh off the U.S. release of album "Dark Eyes," this Canadian act "get a lot of comparisons to Arcade Fire," said Michelle Rutkowski, midday host and music director with WLUM-FM (102.1). "It's haunting and beautiful." (6:50 p.m. Sunday, BMI)
6.Imagine Dragons: The hottest new rock act of the year, with one of the best live shows to match. As we all learned from the mass of people who flooded Summerfest for its June show, you'd better get to this set extra early. (5:15 p.m. Friday, Lake Shore)
7. Kendrick Lamar: The rapper has been everywhere since last fall, making cameos on countless albums and earning raves for his own album, "good kid, m.A.A.d city." "He's hip-hop with a jazzy sort of vibe," said Freddy DeBoe, the Milwaukee-born sax player for Charles Bradley and the Extraordinaires, which will be playing Lolla at 2:45 p.m. Saturday on the Bud Light stage. (6:45 p.m. Saturday, Bud Light)
8.The Lumineers: The folk revival trio has celebrated one of the fastest rises in recent memory. "I saw them a little over a year and a half ago at this tiny bar in Evanston, Ill.," Rutkowski said. "To go to 25,000 people-plus at Lolla is going to be insane. That makes me giddy inside to watch a band go through that journey." (7:15 p.m. Saturday, Lake Shore)
9.Modestep: "They're one of the most energetic and entertaining live acts I've ever seen," Vrakas said of this anthemic, English, drum-and-bass heavy electronic dance music group. (5:45 p.m. Friday, Perry's)
10.Nine Inch Nails: Trent Reznor's blistering industrial rock act is making a highly anticipated return with this first U.S. show following its "final live performance" in 2009. "He's a very dark genius," DeBoe said. "And he uses a lot of computers and visual effects at the shows. They're really a crazy party."

Despite low expectations, Strong was able to lead the Cardinals (7-6, 5-2 Big East) to a second consecutive bowl appearance in 2011. Louisville lost 31-24 to N.C. State in the Belk Bowl, but an early season comeback victory over Kentucky, the first against the Wildcats in five tries, and a late season upset at No. 24 West Virginia made for a better than expected season.
Louisville struggled on offense last season, including in a 14-7 defeat at North Carolina on Oct. 8 in which the Cardinals mustered just 273 total yards. Overall, the unit ranked 103rd out of 120 FBS schools in total offense (333 ypg) and 98th in scoring offense (21.92 ppg). Fortunately, after all the attrition entering last season, the Cardinals return eight players on the offensive side of the ball this fall.
True freshman quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (191-of-296 passing, 2129 yards, 14 TD, 12 INT) replaced an injured Will Stein (52-of-84 passing, 620 yards, 5 TD, 1 INT) against Kentucky and started the remaining ten games of the season. Bridgewater, who was highly recruited out of Miami (Fla.) Northwestern High School, was named 2011 Big East Rookie of the Year and is now cemented as the starter. Coming into 2012 he has the help of four returning starters along the offensive line as well as 2011 leading receiver Michaelee Harris (37 rec, 455 yards, 2 TD).
Even as excitement builds around the young Louisville offense, the majority of the credit for Louisville's success last year lies with the performance of the defense. Louisville ranked 23rd in total defense (327.92 ypg) and 17th in scoring defense (20.08 ppg). Specifically, the Cardinals were impressive against the run, surrendering the 10th fewest yards on the ground (100.54 ypg) in the country.
The defense looks to take another step this fall with the return of nine starters, including three along the defensive line. The entire starting secondary returns as well. Safety Hakeem Smith (84 tackles, 1 INT) was named to the All-Big East team last fall and leads a secondary that ranked 59th in pass efficiency defense (129.74) last fall. Cornerback and former Florida transfer Adrian Bushell (50 tackles, 1 INT) is also an All-Big East caliber player.
Strong, who was the defensive coordinator at Florida and South Carolina prior to taking the head job in Louisville, has already put a good defense on the field. If Bridgewater and the offense can make any sort of progress, the Cardinals should compete for the top spot in the Big East.
Quotable: "Well you know one thing we need to do, let's tone it down with the fans number one, because expectations are out there. You look at the first two years, we we're picked last and this year for some reason people think we're going to have this outstanding football team. It's all about work, it's all about our players understanding that you still have to play the game" – Strong on the increased expectations.
Matchup to Watch: With West Virginia's departure to the Big XII, the Big East title is up for grabs in 2012. Rutgers and Louisville are the two most popular picks to win the league and the two just so happen to meet in Piscataway during the final week of the season on Thurs., Nov. 29. With Rutgers adjusting to a new coach after Greg Schiano left to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, now is an opportune time for Louisville to win the Big East. With four of their five road games against bowl teams from last season, it is only fitting the Cardinals have to face the Scarlet Knights on the road.
Reunited: Strong and North Carolina head coach Larry Fedora were on the same staff at Florida from 2002-04 under Ron Zook. Fedora was the offensive coordinator for the Gators while Strong was the defensive coordinator. Strong and Fedora actually met as head coaches two years ago in the Beef O'Brady's Bowl. Louisville defeated Fedora's Southern Mississippi squad 31-28.

I just wondered if anyone seen something like this and if it's available to buy. May be a custom job that I could reproduce using my computer printer and T-shirt transfers.

Lemonade Stand 2012 WRECK-WE-UMMM
Don't expect a straightforward plot in Lemonade Stand 2012 WRECK-WE-UMMM. The Hope Stone Dance Company doesn't quite work that way. Instead of a story, the third annual summer show, which is set to Mozart's Requiem, explores the relationship between movement and sound, style and emotion. Asked if the show has a narrative, JoDee Engle, company manager and performer, tells us, "At this point, I don't think so, but who knows? By the time we get on stage, there might be. That's still to be determined," she laughs. So will there be lemons or a stand? "Yes, lemons will appear at some point," she assures us. Engle explains that during each scene, Hope Stone artistic director/choreographer/chief mischief maker Jane Weiner has given the dancers and performers various tasks. For example, at one point there's a group onstage, and each performer is required to break away and briefly sit in one of three chairs on the set before rejoining the others. Exactly when and how they accomplish this was still being worked on at press time. Hope Stone is careful to clarify that there won't be just company dancers onstage for WRECK-WE-UMMM. Members of Houston Ballet (Connor Walsh, Melody Mennite) and the Houston Metropolitan Dance Company will also be performing. And actors (Troy Schulze, Justin Doran), musicians (Ana Treviño-Godfrey, Jonathan Godfrey) and a puppeteer (Kevin Taylor) complete the cast. 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Houston Ballet Center for Dance, 601 Preston.
Aug. 9-11, 8 p.m., 2012
