25 years murder-free in ‘Gun Town USA’

Crime rate plummeted after law required firearms for residents

Kennesaw

Kennesaw, Ga. City Hall

From WND.com, 04/19/2007 – As the nation debates whether more guns or fewer can prevent tragedies like  the Virginia Tech Massacre, a notable anniversary passed last month in a Georgia  town that witnessed a dramatic plunge in crime and violence after mandating  residents to own firearms.In March 1982, 25 years ago, the small town of Kennesaw – responding to a  handgun ban in Morton Grove, Ill. – unanimously passed an ordinance requiring  each head of household to own and maintain a gun. Since then, despite dire  predictions of “Wild West” showdowns and increased violence and accidents, not a  single resident has been involved in a fatal shooting – as a victim, attacker or  defender.

Texas Justice and the Pro-Choice Myth

Code_Pink_PowerFrom ClashDaily.com, By , 02/18/13 - The National Organization for Women opens up their “Reproductive  Justice” page with the following:

Reproductive justice ensures that women are healthy, both physically and  emotionally; that they can make decisions about their bodies and sexuality free  from government interference; and that they have the economic resources to plan  their own families. A woman’s well-being requires self-determination, equality,  and the respect and support of her society.

Chuck Hagel at Senate hearing

From Israel National News, By Rachel Hirshfeld, 2/10/2013 - Republican opponents of former Senator Chuck Hagel welcomed the decision by the Senate Armed Services Committee last Thursday to postpone the expected panel vote on President Barack Obama’s highly controversial defense secretary nomination after he refused to release additional requested financial information, including details regarding compensation for speeches he delivered since leaving Capitol Hill.

While Hagel has provided some information on his personal finances, he said he could not provide all of what has been requested because it was the property of private organizations that he was not authorized to disclose.

WASHINGTON – The benefits of intact biological families were  emphasized on a “Building a Marriage Culture“  panel at the National Review Institute’s 2013 Summit, “The Future of  Conservatism.” One of the panelists, Doug Mainwaring, spoke of his personal  experience as a gay man who came to realize that his own children need both a mother and a father.

“For a long time I thought, if I could just find the right partner, we could  raise my kids together, but it became increasingly apparent to me, even if I  found somebody else exactly like me, who loved my kids as much as I do, there  would still be a gaping hole in their lives because they need a mom,”  Mainwaring, co-founder of National Capital Tea Party Patriots, said.

Liberty Institute Defends NJ Teacher After Wrongful Termination

From LibertyInstitute.org, January 23, 2013

IN THE SCHOOL

BibleOldLiberty Institute quickly stepped in to help Walter Tutka, a longtime substitute teacher who was fired last week for allegedly violating two school policies because of a Bible.

In the fall of 2012, Tutka quoted the Bible while speaking to a student coming last into the classroom, saying, “The first shall be last but the last shall be first.”

The student questioned Tutka several times about the origin of the quote, and eventually, Tutka used his own Bible to show the student where the quote originated. In one conversation, the student mentioned that he did not own a Bible, so Tutka asked if he would like his, and the student said “yes.”

The Phillipsburg School Board voted to terminate Tutka’s employment for allegedly violating the school’s policy banning the distribution of religious literature on school grounds, and another policy that requires teachers to remain neutral when discussing religious topics.
