Christians Protest Against - Christians Protesting Against Islam



This, my friend is how Islam will destroy the West. Ignorance leads to deception, to enablement, and to cultural destruction.


Opinion:
By de Andréa

Source: From an article found in the Detroit Free Press
“Christians streamed into Ford Field on Friday for a 24-hour prayer event led by a controversial group as about 150 protesters demonstrated outside,”
read the opening lines in an article titled “Prayer Event In Downtown Detroit Prompts Protests”

My first thought was…‘The protest must be from local Muslims’, since Detroit, as many Michigan cities, is fast becoming predominantly Muslim. It shouldn’t have been a surprise to me because I know most Christians haven’t a clue to whom or what Islam really is, but nevertheless it was the ignorant Christians of Islmic Detroit who were protesting the informed Christians from the State of Kansas who came to Detroit to protest Islamic takeover of Detroit. ‘I hope that made some sense’.

Chanting, “Stop the ‘hate and spread the ‘love,” said the protesters “the prayer rally inside the stadium promotes division and hatred”. Led by what the Detroit Free press called “a controversial preacher Lou Engle of Kansas”, It Said “the event was organized and promoted by a group that often criticizes Muslims, gays, Catholics, Jews and African Americans. Members have used militaristic language against a variety of people, especially Muslims in metro Detroit.”

Just for the record, there were African Americans in attendance at the Prayer vigil from Kansas. I don’t know if there were any gays Catholics, Jews, or Muslims in attendance but I kind-a doubt it because, it was after all a Christian Prayer Rally, now wasn’t it?

“Their message is not one of inclusion, it’s of hate,” said Jennifer Teed of Detroit, a so-called Christian protester who opposed Engle’s prayer event. “I don’t see how that’s religious at all.” Teed held a sign in English and Arabic that read, “All are people” and “Standing on the Side of Love.”

Well it may not be “RELIGIOUS” Jen…but again just for the record: There is no love in Islam. Love is not taught in the Quran. The Quran is the book from Hell. It was written by a man called Muhammad and inspired by a god called Satan who now calls himself Allah. So “ALL” are not ‘people standing on the Side of Love.’

I find it interesting that inclusion is prohibited by Scripture - we are not to be yoked with unbelievers and we ‘are’ to live as a separate people. “Inclusion” is a feel good multi-cultural politically correct trap set by Satan.

Yes we are to love our enemies but that doesn’t mean we should join them, support, or include them in our circle of friends or in our churches as some so-called Christian churches have already done. This is Christianity out of whack, we have gone beyond enabling and have now become the defenders’ of Hell, against Gods people. Read a previous article titled Chrislam, How Does This Happen and watch the interview of Lauren Green of Fox News titled Churches Open Doors to Muslim Worship pay particular attention to the spokesperson of the church saying, while defending the sharing of their Christian Church FACILITIES with Muslims, that …well we are not FACILITATING Islam! I so’ hope you get the point and made the connection…obviously the spokes person didn’t.

The article went on to say: “Engle and the organizers of the prayer event, known as The Call, have repeatedly targeted local Muslims, saying they are under demonic control. They have tried to include local clergy, but over the past week, a growing number of ministers have denounced Engle.” Guess what my dear ignorantly deceived city of Detroit; Muslims “are' under demonic control” And if you don’t wake up soon, you will be too!

Outside Ford Field, the protesters featured Baptist, Catholic, and Methodist pastors who criticized Engle. (I can just see him putting out his chest in a pharisaical fashion saying) “I’m about the separation of faith and hate,” said the Rev. Ed Rowe of Central United Methodist Church in Detroit. “You can’t hate and be righteous,” [like me] said Germany Bennett, pastor of True Oracles of God, a Detroit church. “Hatred is a sin, and 'we' believe in love.”

Oh! Contraire my ignorantly deceived self righteous pastors, God said to love what is good and hate what is evil. While there may be a fine line between loving the person who is a Muslim and hating Islam --- as a Christian one must fight against the evils of Satan and Islam is directly from Hell my ignorant friend. As Christians are said to be children of God, by the same token, self-proclaimed Muslims are children of Satan. We need to find the balance of God’s teachings in our spirit. And until we recognize this, we will not effectively minister to the Muslim community and so we will lose this battle.

The Rev. Charles Williams of Historic Solomon Baptist Church in Detroit said, “Engle is promoting an extremist agenda that is anti-Detroit and anti-minority. God did not call us to hate,” Williams said.

Well… Why not just call them racists too while your at it pastor??? Extremists are they! Is it extreme to hate oppression? Is it extreme to hate the murder of anyone that is not a Muslim? It is extreme to hate bondage, slavery, and extortion pastor. Is it extreme to hate the mutilation and murder of women? All this and more wonderful horrifying laws are taught in the Quran and the Hadith pastors, you might want to find out just who and what Islam is before you yoke yourself with it and support it instead of protesting those who have. Didn’t Jesus say “take the plank out of you own eye so that you may see the speck in your brothers eye”?

Cheryl Voglesong of Royal Oak held up a sign that read: “Take Thy Fear mongering back to Kansas. We don’t want it. I’m a Christian, and we’ve lived peacefully with Muslims for 100 years in Detroit,” she said. “Lou Engle and these guys are coming here to attack them, that’s crazy.”

You might want to read resent history about the country of Lebanon Ms. Voglesong. Lebanon was a Christian Democracy much like America until just a few short years ago. Not for just a hundred years, but for more than a thousand years the Lebanese lived ignorantly with the Warm Fuzzy Muslims, in their neighborhoods, in their businesses, in their schools, in their government and today instead of Lebanon being a Christian Free Democracy it is a tyrannically oppressed Islmic State, ruled by Hisbala Muslim terrorists.

This is because the Christians of Lebanon were just like the Christians of Detroit. Ignorant, Deceived, Enabling and as a result they were Destroyed. Those are the four steps to the destruction of a Christian culture and it has been repeated over and over and over again throughout the past 1401 years all over the world. The Christians from Kansas might be extremists, but the Christians in Detroit are ignorant, deceived, enabling and it is destroying Detroit and the State of Michigan. The state of Michigan now has a larger population of Muslims than the entire country of Afghanistan. And Islam completely controls some cities that once sported a Christian church on every corner. Today the church bells are silent and if we don’t start being “Extreme” soon Christians will be silenced as well.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Just down the road of time and because of the blind Christian benevolence, all of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the Americas as well as the rest of the world will be ruled by our Warm Fuzzy Muslim neighborhood friends that we have been living with for hundreds of years.

Pastors…Where do you think the antichrist is coming from? Just a hint, it will not be from Iceland. The Bible says he will come from the countries surrounding Israel. Today for the first time in history all countries surrounding Israel are Islamic States, controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood… (The revived Ottoman Empire)

Think long and hard about it… And then you might want to pray that God will revive you!

Muslims Take Over Yet Another Christian College



Muslims are getting smarter as they move their stealth Jihad of infiltration through the Western cultures of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the Americas. Oh yes! And for those of you that live in Rio Linda… right here at home too. Ugh!

By de Andréa


Muslims are getting smarter. They have learned some lessons in the past 1401 years, not only from experience, but from history- would that we could do just a little of that.

Catholic World News reports that Muslims attending Catholic University of America in Washington DC are using our nation’s anti-discrimination laws against the University: “Muslim students have lodged a another complaint against the Catholic University of America, this time claiming that they are the victims of illegal discrimination because the school does not set aside space for Islamic prayer.” Aw shucks…did anyone tell them that “Catholic University” was a…well…a Catholic University --- and not a Confucius, or Buddhist, or an Islamic University? I guess that would have been too confusing.

A little history

Historical Communist leaders, especially Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937) broke from the violent revolutionary methods of the early Marxists. Today’s smarter Muslims would rather wait to blow up stuff. Like the Gramsci Communists before them, they are working to take over our culture first, from the inside by using our laws against us. No shot needs to be fired. No building needs to be blown up. At least not yet anyway! They are going after the foundational institutions: schools, media, politics, and the courts. This was Gramsci’s contribution to the “Cultural Revolution”. While Gramsci remained a committed Communist, he was a new-breed of Communist. To change the culture, of a country from the inside Gramsci argued, “would require a ‘long march through the institutions’ — the arts, cinema, theater, schools, colleges, seminaries, newspapers, magazines, and the new electronic medium [of the time], radio.”

The complaint to the human-rights commission of the District of Columbia is backed by John Banzhaf, a law professor at neighboring George Washington University, another private Christian University taken over by Islam. Banzhaf has already filed a complaint against Catholic University, alleging sex discrimination, in response to the school’s decision to abolish coed dorms.

So why would Muslims want to attend a Catholic University in the first place? Like everything else, to take it over of course. You don’t believe me? Folks this is why Muslims are here, or did you think is was our food, our fashion in clothes our camels or our breed of horses or maybe our freedom of speech that they love so much???

Why in our own history did humanists attend Christian colleges like Harvard and Yale? To take them over. Oh yes! Harvard and Yale both were also once Christian colleges. The early mottos of Harvard for example were -“Truth for Christ and the Church” and “For the Glory of Christ.” When a student entered Harvard, he would have been introduced to the school’s foundational principles… “Let every Student be plainly instructed, and earnestly pressed to consider well, the main end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternal life (John 17:3) and therefore to lay Christ in the bottom, as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and Learning. And seeing the Lord only giveth wisdom, let every one seriously set himself by prayer in secret to seek it of him (Prov. 2:3).”

Why would an unbeliever go to Harvard? Certainly to get a good education, but also just as the Muslims do now, they wanted to incrementally transform the college. Today, Harvard is a bastion of secularism, promoting among other things, Humanism, and social communism.

We first saw these new tactics when a group of Muslim students at Christian Trinity University in Texas wanted the words “in the year of Our Lord” removed from their diplomas. “A diploma is a very personal item, and people want to proudly display it in their offices and homes.” Said Sidra Qureshi, a Muslim, and president of “Trinity Diversity Connection”, (code name for transforming a culture to the oppression of Islam…) “By having the phrase ‘In the Year of Our Lord,’ it is directly referencing Jesus Christ, and not everyone believes in Jesus Christ.” Of course what she is really saying is that everyone on the planet is ruled by the Islamic law of Sharia. So it should say…”In the year of our god Satan” Excuse me “Allah”. Well… same thing!

The debate started in 2009 when Isaac Medina, a Muslim convert from Guadalajara, Mexico, noticed the wording when he saw pre-made diploma frames in the Trinity bookstore. Muslims have been attacking Christianity since the inception of their religion. They’ve spotted a weakness in our system, the attempt to be diverse and benevolent at any cost, even if it costs us the one thing that made this nation great — its Christian foundation. Muslims totally understand this; most Christians’ haven’t a clue. The Muslim demand for diversity is a wedge to get their foot in your door, open it wide enough for others to follow behind, then once in’, they will pool their collective energies and force Christians and the Kaffaar (non Muslims) into the slavery of oppressive tyranny.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Sound familiar? It should, stealth Islamic Jihadists are repeating this same proven strategy over and over again, not only in our schools but in all fascists of our community and Western Culture, such as government, airports, the work place even in Christian churches.

But this is the way - the dhimmah (Christian or Kaffaar slaves) are expected to behave. And like the good dhimmah that we are, we ignorantly bow in servitude to Islam, enabling Islam in the demise of our Judeao Christian culture our Constitution and our freedom.

Keep up the good work America! Soon we will all build our tents to face Mecca. Wear a Hijaab, ride our green non polluting camels to work, and gladly pay the Jizya to give us just one more day of life as slaves of Sharia. Sounds like a plan…

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together???

Ugh!

Muslims Can’t Pray To A Catholic Cross


Several years ago the historic university accepted funds from a Saudi prince. Now Saudi Arabia owns George Washington ‘U’

By de Andrea

George Washington University President John Garvey pictured standing in front of one of the many campus crosses that used to adorn the university (Photo by Rafael Crisostomo)

“Crosses in every room at Washington D.C.’s Catholic University of America are a Sharia violation that prevent Muslim students from praying”, reads the opening remarks of an article on Beliefnet News about a suit by a Muslim organization.

I… am nearly speechless. No! Not because Muslim students say the crosses prevent them from praying, that is totally understandable. What I am nearly speechless about is that this is even an Issue, much less a surprise. I mean really do they teach anything at our colleges anymore that is true, informative, in touch with reality or useful.

Come on! This is Muslim 101, crosses and church bells are strictly forbidden in a Muslim school, or anywhere in Islam. Any Muslim child knows that! But…you say, this is a Catholic University! This is a Christian nation!

Oh contraire my pathetically ignorant deceived enabling blind self destructive dhimmahic slave. There are Muslims here in America--- that makes this an Islamic State. There are Muslims in George Washington University and in the Catholic University of America that makes them Muslim colleges. And the icing on the Islmic camel dung heap is that Islam donated Funds to G.W.U. and they were foolishly and ignorantly (that’s much to kind) stupidly accepted.

My friend! Don’t you know according to Sharia Law the whole world is the Nation of Islam and anywhere Muslims are present Sharia is enforced, Period. There is nothing to negotiate. Muslims do not compromise, Muslims do not assimilate, and at best you are the subordinate dhimmah slaves who pay a Jizya tribute for the privilege of living. If you violate Sharia in any way you are marked for death, Period. No plea, no trial by jury, no expectation of the presumption of innocence no nothing… This is the religion from hell folks, just when… Christians especially--- are we going to get off of our lazy brain dead bum’s and educate ourselves about the very simple fundamentals of this satanic enemy? Their god Satan AKA’ Allah just can’t stand to be anywhere near “THE CROSS”. This should be no surprise, its elementary…

NOW do you understated why they say that they CANNOT pray in the presence of the Cross that Jesus Christ died on to pay for the sins of the world yes He died even for Muslims the children of HELL! Maybe we should tell them that!

If this was something the college did not want to deal with, then why did they accept Satan’s money and invite Satan’s kids into their school. As I said at the beginning, I am nearly speechless.
Do you really think Muslims come to a Catholic college because they want to become good little Catholics and say the rosary or do penance? Or maybe it’s because the Catholics have good toaster strudel. Come on… wake up my deceived friends they came to change the school into an Islmic Madrassa; they came to this country to change it into an Islamic state.

The problem here - is not that the Muslims can’t pray in the presence of the Cross, although that may be their problem, it certainly isn’t ours. The very profound problem here is, that by the time we, the Judeao Christian West begin to understand the simplest fundamental facts about Islam we the “People of the Book” will be the slaves of the Dhimmah Pack. Folks read the Quran, read the Hadith, it’s even in the Bible that the antichrist will come from the Middle East. Read your history books, no, not the new ones, the Muslims that have infiltrated the Dept of Education have rewritten them, get an old one, pre 1960’s, and you will see the repeat of Islamic history over and over again. They do not change, and they do not stop. They did not come here for our babouches (sandals) or our kufi, and they are not here for our Big Mac’s or our dune buggies. The same historical ignorant deception is taking place right here before our very eyes that has been repeated in every Islamic country in the world. And we ignorantly make the same mistake and enable, and support them to our own demise.

THE BOTTOM LINE: I will not apologize for being so truthful and direct. The time is long’ past for diplomacy. We just must understand that we have either to convert all Muslims to our Western Culture today, or deport them tomorrow. This, my friend is the foundation of the Christian Crusades more that a thousand years ago. They waited to long and a 200 year bloody war was the result. If we don’t act now Islam’s Hizb ut-Tahrir حزب التحرير will bury us in the satanic oppression of Islamic tyranny. (Look it up!) “Insanity, is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result”. - Albert Einstein. It shouldn’t take an Albert Einstein to figure this out, after all, I did!

American Jihad

Just because one cannot see the unholy war of Islam against America, it doesn’t mean that it is not here. What it means is… one is deaf, dumb, blind, and ignorantly deceived. And because of our ignorance and deception, we are enabling our own demise and losing this destructive war…

By de Andréa




Currently nearly 3 million Muslims legally reside within the borders of the United States and an estimated 300 thousand more illegal Muslims have poured through our open unprotected borders with the blessings of our Muslim president. Although they live in every state in the U.S. the majority of them live and very nearly control the state of Michigan. They block streets in NYC and in Washington DC to pray to their god Allah. They live their lives according to Islamic Sharia law, the Immoral, and supremacist code of the Islamic Ideology.


But when Muslims bring legal disputes into U.S. courts, for some unknown reason a legal dilemma often arises, pitting Islamic Sharia law against individual rights guaranteed by American law, and the U.S. Constitution.

Increasingly, U.S. courts have yielded to Sharia. In effect, our own judicial system is failing to adhere to the very laws that govern this country. Sharia advocates are overturning our long-held legal traditions to follow the precepts laid down by an ideology much like Nazism, and whose laws are at odds with our U.S. legal and cultural history.

American law is built on the foundation of Judeo-Christian values and traditions. These have always operated under the precept, "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's.” This foundational premise under the secular governing structure created the historic distinction between religious leadership and secular authority in the United States. This unique marriage of Judeao/Christian values at the foundation of our legal culture is now being threatened, by a culture of evil brutality that leaves no room for any law but Sharia, and has infiltrated, encroached and invaded the American legal system from our law schools to our courts.

There are now more than 50 cases, which received limited or no media coverage, that illustrate failure by the courts to maintain the integrity of local, state and federal laws.
For just a few examples, see the recent report from the Center for Security Policy, "Sharia Law and American State Courts: An Assessment of State Appellate Court Cases".

Our legal system must insure that constitutional guarantees are not influenced by any outside legal systems, including religious or foreign laws, such as Sharia, which are hostile to our legal traditions. Although some states have past legislation that prohibits any foreign law from influencing law in state courts, Sharia is still running rampant in the rest of the country as well as in our Federal Courts.

Sharia Law

Sharia is Satan’s law, and where there are Muslims, it stands above all laws. This immutable Islamic legal doctrine derived from the Koran and other Islamic texts from Hell. Its interpretations, and rulings, mandates gender apartheid, religious discrimination, Muslim supremacy, cruel punishments and torture, and the denial of free speech and religion, among other things. Requirements are detailed for every aspect of life, from the correct use of the toilet to food to the subjection and enslavement of non-Muslims to proper wife-beating techniques.

Islamic doctrine recognizes men as superior to women in all matters and thus promotes the unequal treatment of women. Under Sharia, the list of inequalities include, a woman's testimony is valued at half that of a man's, she may be convicted of sexual misconduct if she is raped unless she produces four male witnesses. She receives half the inheritance of male offspring, her husband may freely divorce her without providing for her welfare, she may be raped with impunity, and she may be beaten or killed as her husband sees fit. All these abuses, which violate U.S. laws for equal treatment of the sexes, are perfectly acceptable under Sharia law.

Sharia law requires the segregation of Muslims from non-Muslims, assigns a subservient status to non-Muslims called the dhimmah, forbids certain religious activities and observances and mandates death for Muslims who leave the faith -- all of which violate religious freedom, equal treatment under the law, and other guarantees of the U.S. constitution.

Jewish Law and Christian Canon Law

Many who defend rulings that follow Islamic doctrine or Sharia make spurious comparisons to Jewish law and Catholic or Christian Canon law. These comparisons are disingenuous because the distinctions couldn't be more striking between Sharia law and the laws of Jews and Christians. The fact is that Jesus Christ came to set man free from the law, and not to be in bondage to it.

Islamic law or Sharia is supremacist and oppressive. The Koran commands Muslims to change secular laws to conform to Sharia and/or to impose Sharia worldwide. In Muslim countries, the mosque is both the state and the court. Disobeying Sharia will be punished by flogging or death. By contrast, Jewish (Halacha) and Christian Canon laws are never imposed even for Jews and Christians, respectively. Under Jewish law and Canon law, any two parties in a dispute can choose to seek and follow a decision rendered by a religious court, but they are always free to pursue secular redress. In fact, Jews and Christians are required to follow secular law and are under no obligation whatsoever to abide by Jewish or Catholic Church doctrine. The dictum in Jewish law of "Dina d'malchuta dina" translates to "the law of the land is law" and recognizes non-Jewish laws and non-Jewish legal jurisdiction as binding on Jewish citizens. Jewish law does not operate under a supremacist power structure like Islamic doctrine. It is unenforceable, and it is not a replacement for constitutional law.

In contradiction to Church doctrine, for example Catholic men and women can freely initiate divorces without fear of punishment. A Catholic woman can even have an abortion, although abortion is condemned by the Catholic Church. Catholics can be excommunicated from the church, but this doesn't affect their individual liberties or impose criminal punishments or penalties.

Unlike Islamic Sharia, Jewish law and Canon law have no provisions for taking lives, criminal penalties, or monetary compensation for non-money damages. No doctrinal basis exists to create a worldwide Jewish or Catholic government like an Islamic caliphate, nor is there a religious mandate for martyrdom similar to a jihad to fulfill Judaic or Catholic devotion. If a Christian woman engaged in an extramarital affair, she would not be sentenced to death by stoning as she would be under Islamic doctrine. If her father or brother murdered her for her impropriety, they would be incarcerated for life or receive the death penalty by the appropriate authorities...and certainly not be praised for maintaining family honor, as is the case with Sharia. Catholics Christians and Jews are free to change their religions without the threat of punishment of death as it is under the supreme and barbaric law of Sharia.


While Sharia is immutable, Jewish and Canon law has evolved over time to embrace new interpretations. Jewish law allows the latitude for judicial discretion, and innovations are frequently proposed and instituted. Christian Canon has also changed with varying circumstances and has a rich historic basis of evolution, beginning with the First Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Clearly, Sharia is at odds with everything enshrined in our Constitution to honor and preserve individual liberties and freedom. Sharia stands in opposition to equal protection under the law for both of the sexes, all religions, all races, and all ethnicities. Ultimately Sharia replaces the constitution with the objective of submitting to Allah/Satan’s law, which denies freedom, equality, tolerance, and justice. Unfortunately, the United States is now on a slippery slope to allow Sharia to quarter in our American courtrooms. To permit this insidious divergence from U.S. and state law threatens the basic principles and liberties that Americans hold dear. In essence, Sharia law is antithetical to the American concepts of freedom and equality that are given to all human beings by the God of creation that is documented in our Declaration of Independent [Americans].

The purpose of Sharia is to totally control every aspect of mankind world wide. Any independent thinking human being, Atheist, Agnostic, Buddhist, Shinto, Confucianist, Hindu, Christian, or Jew, who would read Sharia law, would identify it with something from the depths of Hell itself. It is the most immoral, evil, barbaric and deceptive ideology on the planet. And it is a bigger threat to the ‘Free Judeao-Christian West’ than all the WMD the world can produce.

While we fight for the defense of the Middle East in Afghanistan and Iraq, we are losing a much larger nearly silent battle right here in our own country. Soon our military our government, and our culture will be irrelevant if this war against Sharia isn’t fought in our towns, cities, and in our state and congressional legislatures. If left up to the courts we as Americans will be at best reduced to slaves of Islamic Sharia, or at worst be reduced to human targets for the pleasure of Allah, the satanic god of Islam.

You still have a choice to fight!

Or not…

Eugenics



So…Just what is a eugenic? The dictionary defines it as “The Science for the improvement of hereditary qualities.” The U.S. Supreme Court said it was necessary for a “…society to prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind.” Individuals were labeled 'degenerate’, ‘feeble-minded’ based on dirty clothing, or unkempt appearances, then they were sterilized.

By de Andréa

This is an example of a government program run amuck. This story not only exposes just how perverted government programs can get, but how governments skew and pervert the words that identify them, making them deceptively reasonable, throwing all moral values and humanity to the four winds.

Performing ‘any’ surgical procedure without the patient's consent in itself, should raise serious legal questions. But the U.S. Supreme Court, the Judicial branch of the Federal government that is charged with (would you believe) upholding the U.S. Constitution, illegally upheld forced sterilization in the 1927 case of Buck vs. Bell, which challenged Virginia's "race betterment" law.

Where perversion leads
The Nazi program of "race hygiene", under which some 2 million Germans were sterilized, came out of that very ruling the U.S. Supreme Court made upholding the eugenic serialization laws in the 1927.

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, noted for his free-speech decisions, wrote a callous brain-dead opinion that approved the sterilization of Carrie Buck, a 17-year-old girl who was labeled as feeble-minded. Carrie Buck was not mentally retarded or abnormal in any way but was sterilized because she had a child out of wedlock, and was considered "morally delinquent.” Well she may have been delinquent, but is that a good reason to cause entire nations to become morally corrupt?

Holmes wrote that "instead of waiting to execute degenerate offspring for a crime, or to let them starve for their imbecility, society can prevent those who are manifestly unfit from continuing their kind."

Encouraged by this ruling, sterilization advocates took their campaign abroad. The leading American eugenicist, Harry Laughlin, who never met Buck but testified at her court hearing that she was a "low-grade moron," helped to draft Hitler’s Nazi regime's "race hygiene" law, under which some 2 million Germans were sterilized.

It's time for California to make amends for one of the most horrific and shameful episodes in the state's history. Between 1909 and 1979, more than 20,000 people in California were robbed of their reproductive abilities through a state program of forced sterilization. Under the misleading guise of "race betterment," doctors at California's state hospitals sterilized those who were considered "unfit to propagate." I personally remember a sister-in-law of mine who had Downs Syndrome, and was serialized under the program. I remember at the time the family said it seemed like a good idea.

The origins of California's forced-sterilization program lie in the misnamed eugenics movement of the early 20th century. The term fundamentally means, "Good breeding", and stemmed from efforts to improve plant and livestock breeds. But those who believed that "degenerates" (anyone who was not quite as equal as they were, and the "feeble-minded" (one should take a closer look at just who was feeble minded here) should be prevented from having child[ren], the elite politicians launched campaigns for state laws to force the sterilization of people with such deficiencies.


In 1907, Indiana became the first state to pass a forced-sterilization law, and California followed suit in 1909. Thirty states ultimately enacted such laws, and some 64,000 people -- most of them poor, young women -- were subjected to the surgeon's knife without their consent.

In California, most involuntary sterilizations were performed on patients in state mental hospitals. More than half were diagnosed as manic- depressive or schizophrenic, when in truth most were simply "burdens" on state institutions.

In 1921, the director of the California Agnew State Hospital urged the sterilization of a female patient because she was "depressed" and "further pregnancies would be a hindrance for her remaining stable.” The state director of hospitals in the early 1920s, Dr. Frederick Hatch, sent dozens of "eugenics field workers" into poor neighborhoods, looking for sterilization candidates. One historian wrote of this program: "Individuals were labeled 'degenerate' or 'feeble-minded' based on dirty clothing or an unkempt appearance. Children were labeled 'imbecile' based on a glance from across the room."

California's longtime attorney general, U.S. Webb, urged sterilization for "inebriates, prostitutes, tramps, and habitual paupers found in our county poor-asylums.” The eugenics movement gradually lost influence, through scientific debunking of claims that "moral delinquency" was inherited and through revulsion at its Nazi connections. But the last forced-sterilization law was not repealed until 1979. In recent years, advocates for the mentally and physically disabled have begun redress campaigns for the victims of these laws.

During the last year, four governors have responded with apologies on their states' behalf. Last May, Virginia's governor, Mark Warner, expressed his "sincere apology" to the 8,000 victims of his states law and said, "the eugenics movement was a shameful effort in which state government never should have been involved." In December, then-Gov. John Kitzhaber of Oregon acknowledged the "great wrong" done in the name of eugenics to 2,600 "vulnerable, helpless citizens" of his state. The same month, Gov. Mike Easley of North Carolina said, "I deeply apologize to the victims and their families for this past injustice, and for the pain and suffering they had to endure over the years." Then-Gov. Jim Hodges of South Carolina issued the most recent state apology, on Jan. 8.

California sterilized more of its residents than these four states combined -- close to a third of the national total.

THE BOTTOM LINE: So what does one say about this early form of contraception? What, if any moral lesson could we gleen from this perverted Government program? Just how many brain-dead, warped minded, do-gooder programs are now in effect in our society with no attention paid to the long term effects of some of these perverted agendas?

Should we take a long look at abortion for example? The results being the murder of more than 50 million innocent Americans, and the resulting demise of yet another social program called Social Security because we are short 50 million workers to support the program. And then there are same sex marriage laws that will end reproduction altogether. How about the enforcement of Sharia law in U.S. courts… will we have the stoning of women in the street because they went to the supermarket without wearing their Hijaab, or because they were raped, or drove a car?

It seems that we will always find more ways to shoot ourselves in the foot than existed in the previous millennium.

Could it be that we don’t learn from history or maybe we don’t even know or care about our history? Maybe we just want to sweep it under the carpet like this ugly little part of history was.

Sweeping history under the carpet or outright covering it up doesn’t make it go away. It will always resurface years later as just another tragic, ignorant, stupid Government program.

And people become more and more caulis and blind until they lose their ability to see down the road…
