They want you to just keep quiet if you do not agree with their Leftist, Marxist, anti-Christian, anti-capitalism, climate scam ideologies. A video is pasted at the bottom of the article. Note at about 5 minutes and 22 seconds the clown coming in to cause as much disruption as possible. These are the supposed leaders of tomorrow!?
‘Campus police force entire room to evacuate after protesters refuse to comply with officers’ requests
WASHINGTON, D.C. — An effort Thursday night by the Georgetown University College Republicans to host climate scholars to rebut 2020 Democratic presidential candidates’ climate alarmism descended into chaos after dozens of student protesters crashed the event and continually disrupted it to the point that campus police shut down the forum and evacuated the room.
Student hosts and the climate scientists and policy experts were eventually let back into the room to complete their discussion, but the first 20 minutes of the panel was so frequently interrupted it culminated in its temporary halt as campus officers worked to gain control of the situation.
At the start of “Climate Forum: A Rebuttal,” protestors packed the room and, beginning with the introduction of the first speaker, shouted talking points, various obscenities, and hostile chants.
Despite campus free speech policies announced clearly by the hosts at the start of the event, the harassment continued. Amid the frequent disruptions, a protester dressed as a clown intermittently honked a horn.
The College Republicans called campus police, who tried to remove those interrupting the event, but the students refused to comply. They argued with the officers, refused to show the officers their student IDs, and declared the room an “open forum.”
Eventually, police had to clear the room entirely in an attempt to gain control of the situation. The hallway flooded with protestors — as well as students who appeared genuinely interested in listening to the panelists. Numerous campus administrators and even more officers arrived as the event remained postponed.
The panel finally restarted after police had blocked all but one doorway and refused entrance to anyone with signs. But some hecklers made it through, including one protester who had to be escorted out, but not before ensuring all attendees they are “on the wrong side of history.”
Meanwhile, dozens more activists slammed on and yelled through the windows, screaming for “environmental justice.” The police officers guarded the building’s entrance, but allowed the outside shouts as the discussion inside proceeded.
The event finished an hour late, with many fewer people inside than at the start.
The panel was scheduled in response to the Georgetown Institute of Politics and MSNBC hosting of a “Presidential Climate Crisis Forum” this week. Candidates including Senator Bernie Sanders, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, businessman Andrew Yang, and Senator Cory Booker will make their climate policies clear in hour-long discussions moderated by Chris Hayes and Ali Velshi.
Earlier in the day, the Georgetown University College Democrats had issued a statement “condemning” the Georgetown University College Republicans’ event as “promoting the conspiracy of climate change denial.”
Rowan Saydlowski, vice president of Georgetown University College Republicans, stated in a news release that “our goal is to provide an alternative perspective in response to the echo chamber presented by the candidates coming to our school.”
The speakers included: Marc Morano of ClimateDepot.com; Dr. Caleb Rossiter and Dr. Patrick Michaels of the CO2 Coalition; Paul Driessen of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow; and Kenny Stein of the Institute for Energy Research.’ https://www.thecollegefix.com/climatealarmismdebunked/

Can there be design without a designer? That’s a pretty simple question which requires a fairly simple answer! No, there cannot be. Now, evolutionists try to explain how there can be but when it comes down to reality they are ‘deceiving, and being deceived.‘ True science will NEVER back up what the evolutionist teaches.

Ever since Australia voted in favour of same-sex marriage through a referendum religious freedom and simply freedom of speech has been under attack. To alleviate this the Federal government has proposed a Religious Discrimination Bill. Even though I am a born again Christian I believe all people, whether religious or not, should have the freedom of speech.
However, those in charge believe such a bill is necessary. Here is what the National Director of Family Voice 
Australia had to say in a recent email concerning the proposed bill.
‘On the 29 August, the Federal government released an Exposure Draft of the Religious Discrimination Bill 2019. The Draft starts out well with worthy objects and a direction that in giving effect to the objects of the Act, regard is to be had to “the indivisibility and universality of human rights and the principle that every person is free and equal in dignity and rights.”
We may infer that this is advice to those charged with adjudicating disputes that as far as possible they are not to elevate one protected attribute above another.
Another object is that people can make statements of belief – consistent with Australia’s obligations with respect to freedom of religion and freedom of expression, and subject to specified limits. The inference here is to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, together with other international covenants and conventions listed.
The Draft defines discrimination on the grounds of belief – and therefore what is not discrimination. It is helpful to have this clearly stated.
The Draft recognises the right of religious people to make statements of faith and to practise their faith – and that this is not inherently discriminatory, though in some cases this may be contested.
In the appointment of a Commission for Religious Freedom there is some protection in the event of a charge when rights are competing. The Commissioner is appointed to ensure balance in the application of laws. However, the Bill provides no guidance on how this balance will be arrived at.
The Draft also leaves judges (and commissioners) to determine core beliefs of a faith. In a dispute between competing rights this is likely to be a factor upon which much could hinge. This should not be the case.
Attempts have been made to strengthen protections in the workplace, among professional associations and the health sector, but the protections are qualified and limited.
There is no definition of what it means to vilify. This is a very subjective term which can be used to restrict religious speech.
There is no provision for commercial businesses that have a purpose arising from the faith of the owners/management.
The Bill does not reflect the true nature of conscientious objection – that it is not a matter of moral preference but of principle.
The Bill by its very existence is an acknowledgement that religion is important. However it does not fully reflect the nature of the religious motivation – that a person of faith may be speaking or acting out of integrity or genuine concern according to their faith and conscience and yet be wrongly perceived as being malicious and harmful. And this may well be the role of this law – not to be a moralistic document but to practically address the conflicts that arise from difference and to limit the permissible forms of discrimination.
This applies to the motivation for establishing and operating faith-based institutions and importantly to sincere individuals in all sectors. Faith should not be viewed as an unwelcome element of society but as an important part of the moral and compassionate social fabric.
Will the nation be better off for this Act? Time will tell. Religious freedom is so important because it is not simply about freedom to make a statement of belief in respect of a disputed moral issue. It is about the role of true believers in the whole scope of the national life at every junction of society, being salt and light – both preserving what is good and dispelling the darkness in the national conversation.’
It is a slippery slope further into the abyss of freedoms lost when sin is accepted by the nation’s populace and its government.
When the so-called same sex marriage issue was approved via a popular vote of the Australian people the individual’s freedom of speech then became an issue. Now, the Federal Government is seeking to pass a Religious Freedom Bill to rectify the matter. Here is the Australian Christian Lobby’s Martyn Iles speaking on the issue.

The government’s own definition attests to the fact that life begins at fertilization. According to the National Institutes of Health, “fertilization” is the process of union of two gametes (i.e., ovum and sperm) “whereby the somatic chromosome number is restored and the development of a new individual is initiated.”

“Human life begins at fertilization, the process during which a male gamete or sperm (spermatozoo developmentn) unites with a female gamete or oocyte (ovum) to form a single cell called a zygote. This highly specialized, totipotent cell marked the beginning of each of us as a unique individual.” “A zygote is the beginning of a new human being (i.e., an embryo).”

“[All] organisms, however large and complex they might be as full grown, begin life as a single cell. This is true for the human being, for instance, who begins life as a fertilized ovum.”

“The first cell of a new and unique human life begins existence at the moment of conception (fertilization) when one living sperm from the father joins with one living ovum from the mother. It is in this manner that human life passes from one generation to another. Given the appropriate environment and genetic composition, the single cell subsequently gives rise to trillions of specialized and integrated cells that compose the structures and functions of each individual human body. Every human being alive today and, as far as is known scientifically, every human being that ever existed, began his or her unique existence in this manner, i.e., as one cell. If this first cell or any subsequent configuration of cells perishes, the individual dies, ceasing to exist in matter as a living being. There are no known exceptions to this rule in the field of human biology.”
