Is it possible for a nation or a state within a nation to have a two tired justice system and do true justice? That is, one law for those of one ethnic group and another system for the rest of society! Well, as I said yesterday, the Australian Northern territory is seeking to do just that. Here is a video from Sky News Australia informing us about such a move.
I was born white, I live my life as a white person and I suppose I will die white. Does, that make me a white supremacist? Well, here in the Land Down Under; ‘White Australian nurses must now apologize to minority patients for their white privilege before treatment! I would vigorously refuse to do so, so does that prove I’m a racist or a white supremacist?
Does pride in being white make me a white supremacist and if so, is a black person a black supremacist if he is proud of being black? If not, why not?
Being a white Christian does not reflect badly on those who don’t fit that description, just as my love and preference for my wife does no harm and is no criticism of those who disagree. Just because you think your wife is more beautiful than mine and your children and grandchildren are the brightest and most loveable does not make you a bigot. You are simply wrong, since mine are! (I have the test scores and photos to prove it!)
There are those in Australia who say there is no requirement for white nurses to apologise. They say “The codes do not require nurses or midwives to declare or apologise for white privilege.”
YET, ‘The CEO of the Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives, Janine Mohamed, says cultural safety involves people learning about their own unconscious biases and how they affect the health care they deliver.’
If only people would believe God and His Word for it tells us God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation Acts 17:24,26.
Have we enjoyed the benefits of true freedom so long that we no longer appreciate them? This is hard to believe but ‘A majority of Americans believe the First Amendment should be rewritten and are willing to crack down on free speech, as well as the press, according to a new poll.
More than 60 percent of Americans agree on restricting speech in some way, while a slim majority, 51 percent, want to see the First Amendment rewritten to “reflect the cultural norms of today.” The Campaign for Free Speech, which conducted the survey, said the results “indicate free speech is under more threat than previously believed.”
“The findings are frankly extraordinary,” executive director Bob Lystad told the Washington Free Beacon. “Our free speech rights and our free press rights have evolved well over 200 years, and people now seem to be rethinking them.”
Of the 1,004 respondents, young people were the most likely to support curbing free expression and punishing those who engage in “hate speech.” Nearly 60 percent of Millennials—respondents between the ages of 21 and 38—agreed that the Constitution “goes too far in allowing hate speech in modern America” and should be rewritten, compared to 48 percent of Gen Xers and 47 percent of Baby Boomers. A majority of Millennials also supported laws that would make “hate speech” a crime—of those supporters, 54 percent said violators should face jail time.
American hostility to the First Amendment did not stop at speech. Many would also like to see a crackdown on the free press. Nearly 60 percent of respondents agreed that the “government should be able to take action against newspapers and TV stations that publish content that is biased, inflammatory, or false.” Of those respondents, 46 percent supported possible jail time.
The poll was released just two days after two University of Connecticut students were arrested for allegedly saying racial slurs in a viral video. The 21-year-old suspects were allegedly playing “a game in which they yelled vulgar words,” according to the police report. Lystad said such incidents and the rise of social media may be behind the increased willingness of Americans to curb speech rights.
“I think [our findings] are fueled in large part because of a rise of hate speech, but traditionally, hate speech is protected in the First Amendment,” Lystad said. “The Supreme Court has upheld that principle time and time again.”
Lystad launched the Campaign for Free Speech to advocate for preserving free and open dialogue in America. The group emphasizes that hate speech should be denounced, but does not think censorship is the answer. The group plans to push back against efforts to restrict speech at the local, state, and federal levels.
“Hate speech should be condemned, but legally, the answer to speech we don’t like is more speech, not censorship,” he said. “Our primary focus is education, and to help people better understand the First Amendment, free speech, free press, and why it’s so vital to our democracy.”‘ https://freebeacon.com/issues/poll-majority-of-americans-want-first-amendment-rewritten/
Climate change is the new religion that has drawn millions of followers into its clutches. Sadly, it seems, my home state of Iowa has many of these converts as seen in the thousands that recently gathered to hear Sweden’s Greta Thunberg in early October.
‘HOW DARE YOU!’ Those are the words of the climate messiah and drama queen Greta Thunberg when she spoke to the UN. In spite of Greta having zero science qualifications University of Iowa ‘Engineering professor Michelle Scherer had emailed her colleagues “If we haven’t already, I’d like to suggest we put Greta’s visit up on (Civil and Environmental Engineering) Facebook.”
With governments and the UN bowing down to Greta and this new religion what John the Apostle wrote in Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name just might be less than a decade away!
One doesn’t have to be a ‘scientist’ to know evolution has a LOT of problems. ‘According to the evolutionary story, humans evolved from an unidentified ape-like ancestor over two million years ago. But this story doesn’t line up with the Bible or scientific evidence. What can we learn from our DNA to decipher the origins debate? How does genetics support the Christian worldview of a recent creation?’ https://www.icr.org/article/mutation-rates-debunk-evolution
‘RG LeTourneau is perhaps the most inspiring Christian inventor, businessman and entrepreneur the world has ever seen. A sixth grade dropout, Robert Gilmore “RG” LeTourneau went on to become the leading earth moving machinery manufacturer of his day with plants on 4 continents, more than 300 patents to his name and major contributions to road construction and heavy equipment that forever changed the world. Most importantly, his contribution to the advancement of the Gospel ranks him among the greatest of Christian Businessmen of all time. Famous for living on 10% of his income and giving 90% to the spread of the Gospel, LeTourneau exemplified what a Christian businessman should be.’ http://www.giantsforgod.com/rg-letourneau/
The Massachusetts senator and 2020 presidential candidate said she would work to end the Hyde Amendment if elected. The Hyde Amendment prohibits taxpayer-funded elective abortions in Medicaid. It has had strong bipartisan support for years, and continues to have strong support from voters. But the abortion industry and Democratic Party now want it gone, and many presidential hopefuls do, too.
Warren then falsely claimed that “three out of four” Americans support Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that essentially allowed abortions up to birth.
Three in four Americans (75 percent) say abortion should be limited to – at most – the first three months of pregnancy. This includes most of those who identify as Republicans (92 percent), Independents (78 percent) and a majority of Democrats (60 percent). It also includes more than six in 10 (61 percent) who identify as “pro-choice” on abortion.
