How In The Holy Hell Did Kevin Jennings Get To Be Safe Schools Czar?

kevin_jennings

Kevin Jennings, Obama’s stellar pick for Safe Schools Czar, is plain out wack. He’s had a lovely little history leading up to his appointment by the almighty Obamamessiah. Here are all the “gates” associated with this guy:

• “Brewstergate” — the case of a young student, “Brewster,” whom Jennings knew was having sex with an older man he’d met in a bus station restroom.

• “Fistgate” — the case in which Massachusetts public school educators sponsored by GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network — founded and run by Kevin Jennings) instructed children as young as 12 years old on explicit homosexual practices, including such dangerous practices as “fisting.”

• “NAMBLAgate” — Jennings has repeatedly expressed admiration for the late Harry Hay, a member of the Communist Party and one of the most militant homosexuals of the past century. Hay was an icon and sort of “senior statesman” in NAMBLA, the North American Man-Boy Love Association, the militant pederast group.

• “QueerSchoolsgate” — Jennings wrote the foreword to Queering Elementary Education and has admitted that he developed the “anti-bullying” label as a way to present the pro-homosexual agenda as a “safety” issue; Jennings’ GLSEN brigades have subjected millions of school children to forced “queering” sessions through various GLSEN-sponsored programs.

• “Act-Upgate” — Jennings is a longtime activist in the militant homosexual group Act-Up, which broke many laws, invaded churches, and physically assaulted clergymen and Christian worshipers. Jennings is notorious for viciously smearing, sometimes in very foul language (both in his writings and speeches) Christians who disapprove of homosexual behavior. He also advocates censoring former homosexuals who warn youngsters against the “gay” lifestyle.

• “Drug-gate” — Jennings, who runs the federal Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools, has written rather ambiguously about his own drug and alcohol abuse — expressing no regrets and even romanticizing it — leaving open to question whether he is encouraging or discouraging drug use among our youth.

And before you go and start lecturing me about gay rights, this isn’t about being gay. Or straight. Or bisexual, transsexual, asexual, or however and whatever sexual you choose to be. Seriously, I don’t give two craps who you decide to sleep with. I’ll stand by my belief that one’s sexual orientation is not anyone else’s business, nor is it a big deal, really, as long as the partners are consenting freakin’ ADULTS. This is about sex getting injected into the public school system by a dude who believes that having sex with young boys - 18-month olds, even – is an O.K. thing? This is about appointing a Safe Schools Czar that is giving out books to 12-year olds on how to “fist” and pee on one’s sexual partner. This is about appointing a Safe Schools Czar that doesn’t take an anti-drug stance at all. This is about appointing a Safe Schools Czar that hasn’t and won’t do jack squat to actually make kids, um, SAFE. And, that’s when I start asking, WHAT IN THE HOLY HELL was Obama thinking?

Yeah. Once again, he wasn’t. Shocker.

It’s Official. Gay People Are More Valuable Than Straight People.

So remember that video I showed you a few weeks back of Mike Pence criticizing the hate crime legislation that was attached to a defense spending bill? Well, here’s a great write-up about what a huge pile of crap that is, and how inappropriate it was for Democrats to include it in a bill meant for our military.

Obama signed the bill this past Wednesday, you guys. It’s a done deal. Gay and transgendered people are now a specially protected class, which allows the Justice Dept to prosecute any violence against them based on their gayness or transgenderedness. If you’re straight and viciously attacked? Same old same old. But if you’re gay or transgendered, then you’re apparently extra important and warrant extra super double secret prosecution of your attacker.
 
The Family Research Council President, Tony Perkins summarized it well (bolding is mine): “Today, President Obama signed into law the so-called ‘hate crimes’ bill which violates the principle of equal justice under the law and threatens to infringe on the free speech rights of the American people. All violent crimes are hate crimes, and every victim is equally important. President Obama’s decision today fails to recognize that all of our citizens deserve equal justice under the law.” 

The law itself is incredibly offensive, but made even MORE offensive by the fact that it was slipped into a defense authorization bill.  Pence said, “Today, the president of the United States put his liberal social priorities ahead of an unambiguous affirmation of our men and women in uniform. Every day, our armed forces stand in defense of freedom and our cherished way of life. It is deeply offensive to their service and to millions of Americans to pile so-called ‘hate crimes’ legislation onto a bill that authorizes critical resources for our troops. Hate crimes legislation is antithetical to the First Amendment, unnecessary and will have a chilling effect on religious freedom.” 

Perkins described the bill as a slap in the face to servicepeople, because it forced Congress to choose between EITHER expanding hate crime legislation OR making our military go without needed supplies. And Democrats take no issue with that. They don’t see how absolutely despicable that idea is. It’s outrageous.
 
Ironically, the statement from the Human Rights Campaign president, Joe Solmonese, was as follows: “Today’s signing of the first major piece of civil rights legislation to protect LGBT Americans represents a historic milestone in the inevitable march towards equality.” Um, no, Joe, it doesn’t. It represents LGBT Americans being provided with special treatment. Special treatment does not equal “equality.”
 
I guess there’s truth to that whole, “Everyone is equal, but some people are more equal than others” concept.

Another Stellar Czar Appointment

Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar” is unfit for the job. Well, at least many think so. And, I tend to agree. Actually, I don’t know why in the hell we need a Czar for safe schools to begin with, but that’s neither here nor there. I’m still waiting to be appointed Czar of Stilettos, so what do I know?

He wrote a book that included a story from when he was a high school teacher. Here are some exerpts from that book:

“Discussing his high school years in Hawaii in the early 1980s, Jennings wrote, I got stoned more often and went out to the beach at Bellows, overlooking Honolulu Harbor and the lights of the city, to drink with my buddies on Friday and Saturday nights, spending hours watching the planes take off and land at the airport, which is actually quite fascinating when you are drunk and stoned.”

And then there were his conversations with a gay student (he calls “Robertson” in the book), who had a relationship with an older man (which was considered statutory rape). Instead of seeing the potential for this kid to be in an UNSAFE situation, he basically told the kid to make sure he was wearing a condom. He wrote, “As the fall wore on, Robertson continued to drop by my office to chat, often updating me on his latest ‘adventures.’ Sometimes these startled me, and I began to underline the importance of safe sex to him. One day he snapped back, ‘Why should I use a condom? My life isn’t worth saving anyway.’”

Yesterday, he was quoted as saying, “Twenty one years later I can see how I should have handled this situation differently. I should have asked for more information and consulted legal or medical authorities.”

Gee…you THINK? Maybe?

Here’s a video of him talking about this kid and some other stuff:

NOW he’s saying he’s sorry for handling the situation in that way, but weirdly enough, he’s talked about it openly and without remorse as recent as last year. So, the whole “I’m sorry the way I handled it” thing? Yeah. I’m going on a limb here, but I’m guessing that it’s just because people are calling him out on it now. Go figure.

Yet another bang-up and completely-void-of-the-vetting-process Czar appointment. I’m so disillusioned by the Czar thing at this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw Obama appoint Courtney Love as the Anti-Drug Czar.

This Republican Needs To Go Away

Senator Tom Coburn’s (OK) Chief of Staff, Michael Schwartz, may want to spend more time actually being Chief of Staff and less time trying to be an armchair psychologist.

In this article, our lovely little “conservative” activist, claims that “homosexuality is wrong because most 10-year-old boys have an innate hatred for it.” (A lot of 10-year old boys hate girls, too, but I guess that’s neither here nor there.) He then talked about the “evils of pornography, echoing a friend who once told him that all porn was gay porn because it turned men inwards.”

Um, alrighty then.

And, then his piehole didn’t shut at that point, but continued to spew nonsense when he said, “And if you tell an 11-year-old boy about that, do you think he’s going to want to get a copy of Playboy? I’m pretty sure he’ll lose interest. That’s the last thing he wants! You know, that’s a good comment, it’s a good point, and it’s a good thing to teach young people.”

A good thing to teach young people? Holy crazy.

In my own personal experience with gay friends and family members, these people were all gay when they came out of the womb. The whole notion of trying to steer someone into a life of straightness is ridiculous, antiquated, and just plain ignorant. This is the kind of dude that made Mock and I look at each other at lunch one day and say, “You know? Not all of us conservatives are old white dudes in stuffy suits. We should start a blog to convey that.” In fact, SOME conservatives out there – dare I say it – are GAY. (GASP!)

You know how we talk about conservatism needing a makeover? Well, this guy is a perfect example of why we need that in our party. How about knocking off the amateur psychology crap and doing your freakin’ job, Mr. Schwartz? Perhaps sticking to creating responsible fiscal policy or something useful like that. There’s a thought.

So, there you go, liberals. An early Christmas present. You can thank me later.

According to Obama, Gay People Hold Greater Importance Than Martin Luther King, Jr.

So, a clever and competent reader forwarded us a note to let us know that the White House just came out (no pun intended) with this press release on June 1 that proclaims June 2009 the first Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month.

Now before you go all crazy-liberal on me, lefties, I like gay people.  I think gay people should be able to have civil unions with rights like married couples.  I have gay relatives who I love.  I have gay friends who I love just as much as my gay relatives.  And moreover, before Mr. Daisy and I were married, we actually lived “in sin” for a while and went through the proper channels to become a domestic partnership, enjoying the fruits of our own “civil union.”  I don’t give two craps what YOU do in the privacy of your bedroom or whom or what you choose to love.  So there’s my preamble.

I have an issue here.  And my issue is the month thing.  Why is it that Martin Luther King, Jr. only gets a day?  Why do veterans, who were wounded and/or lost their freakin’ lives – only get one day?   I don’t get that.

I’m a woman – I still make 80 cents to a man’s dollar.  Where’s my friggin day?  Let alone a month?  I’m just sayin…

I appreciate Obama’s political correctness in all of this, even though I lean towards being anti-politically correct myself.  I appreciate that even though he acts like a hero for hiring gays in his “first 100 days of office” (oooh…someone get him a medal!), I don’t understand why this cause – this sect of our country full of immigrants, minorities, and people who have suffered arguably as much – should get 30 times more recognition than, say, the most notorious leader of the civil rights movement? 

In the last paragraph, Obama writes, “I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists.”

That’s a coincidence, seeing as how that’s precisely what Martin Luther King Jr. was trying to do.

But yeah.  He just gets a day.
