“If we had an Islamic state today, his head would be on a stake.”
Scary.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is a privilege and a great honour for me to speak at this fine academic institution, which gave the world so many Nobel Prize winners. As a Dutchman, I am proud that your first Nobel laureate, in 1906, was of Dutch descent: The youngest President of the United States: Theodore Roosevelt.
I thank Columbia University for inviting me, and I also thank the US border police for allowing me to enter this great country of democracy, liberty and free speech. Ladies and gentlemen, today, the dearest of our many liberties is under attack all throughout Europe. Free speech is no longer a given. What we once considered a natural element of our existence, our birth right, is now something we once again have to fight for.
I would not qualify myself as a free man. 5 years ago I lost my personal freedom. Since then I am under 24-hour police protection. In addition some people tried to rob my freedom of speech: A Dutch Islamic organization tried to stop the appearance of my documentary ‘Fitna’. Because of ‘Fitna’ the most radical Dutch imam claimed 55.000 Euros in compensation for his hurt feelings. The State of Jordan is possibly going to issue a request for my extradition, to stand trial in Amman. I have been charged in France.
In my own country, the Netherlands, the Amsterdam Court of Appeal overruled the decision of the Dutch public prosecutor not to prosecute me. So, now I have to stand trial in my own country, next January. read more…

Sexual activists push for unisex bathrooms in nation’s middle and high schools
A South Burlington, Vermont, girl is asking the state to mandate all public middle and high schools to have “unisex” bathrooms. The girl, who now calls herself “Kyle,” is a transgender who publicly proclaims to be male.
Federal legislation containing unisex bathrooms has been offered—and defeated—in the past, but with a radically liberal president and a liberal majority in both houses of Congress, proponents of traditional values see another push for transgendered privileges coming.
“These bills [are] part of the transgender/homosexual agenda to create federally-protected class status for the behaviors of sodomy, cross-dressing and gender-confused individuals,” says the Traditional Values Coalition, the largest non-denominational, grassroots church lobby in America. “Not only will gender confused individuals be protected by the federal government, but so will the 30 different ‘sexual orientations’ listed by the American Psychiatric Association in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorder.”
“Kyle,” the gender confused student from Vermont, has asked that state’s Human Rights Commission to support her crusade to have boys and girls rooms shuttered and replaced with the unisex bathrooms that would allow teenage boys and girls to use the same bathroom at the same time.
Obviously, this scenario opens the door to all sorts of problems. San Francisco’s Transgender Law Center (TLC) has been pushing for unisex bathrooms with their Safe Bathrooms Access Campaign and Peeing in Peace. They define a transgender as “people whose gender identity or expression is different than the gender they were assigned at birth or different than the stereotypes that go with that gender. This includes people who identify as MTF (male-to-female), FTM (female-to-male), butch, genderqueer, tranny, transsexual, sissy boy, etc.”
According to TLC, a transgender does not have to take any steps to “correct” their gender problem. In other words, a boy or girl only has to claim to be the other sex and they will, by law, be entitled to use any bathroom they choose.
This, of course, opens the door—literally—to peeping Toms, rapists, pedophiles and other deviants to access bathrooms used by middle school and high school girls as young as eleven years old.
As the homosexual rights movement gained speed over the past few years, concerns were raised that their victory would lead to legal protections for transgenders, drag queens, and others who, a generation ago, were almost universally recognized as practicing a deviant behavior. The charge was denied. All they wanted, they said, was legal protection.
When transgenders won their legal protections, concerns were raised that they would then seek special privileges for their lifestyle. And again, the charge was denied.
A look at Van Jones, the recently resigned “green czar” of the Obama administration, gives insight into how the Left works.
“… inside that minimum demand was a very radical kernel that eventually meant that … complete revolution was on the table,” Jones said in April 2008.
Repeal sodomy laws. That’s all we want. We just want to live in peace by ourselves.
Give us civil unions. That’s all we want. We just want the same legal benefits straight couples have.
Accept us equals. That’s all we want. We just want to be accepted like everyone else.
But now we’re beginning to see the truth. It’s not about acceptance. It’s not about equality. It’s about dominance. It’s about imposing their lifestyle on the American public.
As Van Jones so aptly admitted last year, revolution is on the table.
And that revolution may soon be taking place in your child’s bathroom.
Here are some photos from the Americans for Prosperity “Hands off my health care” bus visit to Waynesboro, VA, this morning. The visit included former U.S. Senator and VA Governor George Allen, State Senator and Attorney General candidate Ken Cuccinelli, and former State Senate candidate Scott Sayre. There are more pictures on the jump:

The manager of the Oaks Apartments in Albany, Oregon, has banned tenant vehicles (including motorcycles) from displaying American flags — oh, and flags of other countries, as well.
And the ACLU is cool with this.
“I’m trying to avoid any conflict. I have a problem when tenants’ rights to free speech come into contact with other tenants’ rights of peaceful enjoyment. This policy is not a violation of anyone’s civil rights. We’re a diverse community here, and we’ve had previous problems with this sort of thing,” Barb Holcomb told the Democrat-Herald newspaper.
She is the nonresident manager of the Oaks Apartments at 1440 Geary Circle S.E., owned by Stan Keller.
Excuse me, what kind of person is upset by the American flag? read more…
Same-Sex Marriage: Pandora’s Box of the 21st Century
By Bill Dolack
With Mackenzie Philip’s shocking revelation that she had a ten-year long incestual relationship with her father, John Philips of the Mamas and the Papas, just about everybody’s reaction was, “Ew. That’s disgusting.”
I’d like to ask why it’s disgusting.
Most would reply, “Because it’s unnatural,” and they’d be right. Incest IS unnatural.
My second question would be, “Why do so many people recognize that incest is wrong, unnatural, even disgusting, yet these very same people turn a blind eye to homosexuality?” read more…
Check out this revealing video clip from last week’s debate between Steve Landes and challenger Greg Marrow. Apparently, Mr. Marrow thinks money grows on trees.
After the recent Greg Marrow “Nazi hypocrite” debacle (where Marrow attacked incumbent Steve Landes for comparing certain White House actions to actions that took place in Nazi germany but refused to condemn Waynesboro Democratic chairman Chris Graham for comparing a Christian woman’s beliefs to Nazi heinrich Himmler’s), you’d think he’d watch his words. Not so. Now Marrow is claiming to be a “fiscal conservative” (gee… where have we heard that whopper lately?) even though the evidence proves otherwise.
Note that when speaking to a closed group of fellow travelers, Marrow says, “…we need to convince people that a low gas tax isn’t necessarily in their best interest…”
