--Like many educators nationwide, administrators at a Wisconsin high school are aiming to curb risque moves at an upcoming school dance. To assure that Union Grove High School students do not get too footloose, school brass have issued official dance rules for the January 30 winter formal.  The rules outlaw "sexual bending" and the touching of breasts, buttocks, or genitals. Leg straddling is also verboten. Additionally, students are on notice that "Both feet must remain on the dance floor at all times." ('Sexual bending' outlawed at Wisconsin high school dance...  )

 The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday tentatively approved an ordinance to close most of the city's medical marijuana dispensaries, winding down months of debate on how to limit the rapid spread of such clinics.

The ordinance, if passed next week by a simple majority of the 15-member council, would cap the number of dispensaries at 70 and require them to be at least 1,000 feet from "sensitive uses" — schools, parks and other public gathering spots.

The local law would put an end to the proliferation of pot dispensaries. As many as 1,000 have cropped up over the past few years. The ordinance would also likely force remaining clinics that comply to move to industrial areas because of the distance requirement.

(I hope this helps stop the push some are giving to those involved in making or selling drugs which  are  destroying families, and  America which includes the city of Los  Angeles. Read more on this story Los Angeles council votes to close most pot dispensaries.)

Adolf Hitler was a psychopath and a monster but rose to power thanks to big business leaders and other supporters who appreciated his vow to destroy communism and control workers, Hollywood filmmaker Oliver Stone said Monday. (Oliver Stone: Hitler was 'enabled by Western bankers')

Stone, who is working on a 10-part documentary on the 20th century titled "The Secret History of the United States," said the German dictator was "enabled by Western bankers" and managed to "seduce" Germany's military industrial complex.

"Hitler is a monster. There is no question. I have no empathy for Hitler at all. He was a crazy psychopath," Stone told reporters in the Thai capital. "But like Frankenstein was a monster, there was a Dr. Frankenstein. He is product of his era."

(Those on the left keep blaming big business. What about blaming the people of Germany who elected Hitler to office.I know it is always America and rich white men who are to blame. ) 

Under mounting pressure to rein in mammoth budget deficits, President Obama will propose in his State of the Union address a three-year freeze on federal funding that is not related to national security, a concession to public concern about government spending that could dramatically curtail Obama's legislative ambitions.

The freeze would take effect in October and limit the overall budget for agencies other than the military, veterans affairs, homeland security and certain international programs to $447 billion a year for the remainder of Obama's first term, senior administration officials said Monday, imposing sharp limits on his ability to begin initiatives in education, the environment and other areas of domestic policy.

The spending freeze would affect only about one-eighth of the nation's $3.5 trillion budget, the bulk of which is devoted to entitlement programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, which are responsible for much of the future increase in spending. It would not restrain funding for the $787 billion economic stimulus package Obama pushed through Congress early last year, nor would it apply to a new bill aimed at creating jobs, which Democrats have identified as their top priority in the run-up to November's congressional elections.

(If this report is correct and Obama   does want to cut spending good. If  this is some kind of political trick or spending will be covered up that is not the way to go. However if Obama is trying to cut spending  everyone including those on the right should give him a thumbs up. Read more on this issue President to propose 'spending freeze'.)

I wanted to let you know blogging on Tuesday  will be later because of something I need to do that morning which  I do every so often. Thanks for understanding. 

A messianic Jewish leader isn't surprised that a recent Gallup survey shows Americans are more than twice as likely to express "prejudice" against Muslims than against Christians, Jews, or Buddhists.

 

The analysis from the Gallup World Religion Survey is part of a project on finding ways to increase understanding between Americans and Muslims. (Poll shows Muslim prejudice )

Just over half of Americans polled said they feel no prejudice against Muslims; however, 43 percent acknowledged at least "a little" prejudice against Muslims, making a significantly higher percentage than that of the other faiths in the survey.
 
Jan Markell, founder and director of Olive Tree Ministries, says no one should be surprised by this poll.
 "How else are Americans supposed to act when political correctness let an Army major at Fort Hood go and shoot up and kill or wound dozens of American military personnel?" she wonders, also making mention of "the Christmas bomber who tried to blow up Northwest Flight 253."  

A Christian attorney and conservative political activist says newly elected Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown was the "tourniquet" that temporarily stopped America's "bleeding" caused by the agenda of President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.

 

Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel writes in a new column for Townhall.com that although Scott Brown is "woefully flawed" on social issues, including abortion, his win was still a "victory for life and liberty."

"Obama, as I say in the column, has sliced open America's wrists with his cutting political agenda," the attorney notes. "Time is of the essence, and by providing Senate Republicans the crucial 41st vote needed to filibuster 'ObamaCare' and other radical leftist and socialist and anti-life policies, Scott Brown essentially provides the tourniquet."

Barber adds that he would not have been willing to endorse Scott Brown's campaign because of his pro-abortion stance, however he's cheering Brown's victory because he believes it may save untold thousands, if not millions, of unborn babies who would have been killed as a result of taxpayer-funded abortion in the healthcare bill.

(I am not a big fan of Brown's stand  on abortion but I do agree with  Barber that because Brown was elected  many unborn babies might be saved. Read more on this story Brown stopped America's 'bleeding'.)

International Planned Parenthood is using the Haiti crisis to raise money.

 

 

Jim Sedlak of the American Life League and STOPP International notes that the funds are being raised supposedly to provide "family-planning services" and products in Haiti.

Sedlak says there are efforts by organizations to meet the health needs of Haitians, and that includes the health needs of women pregnant or otherwise -- and he supports that. But he suggests the Planned Parenthood campaign is totally illegitimate; that it is just a moneymaking scheme on the part of Planned Parenthood. The pro-life spokesman points out that Planned Parenthood did the same thing during the Hurricane Katrina relief effort several years ago. ('Family-planning services' in Haiti...now?  )

(This is an outrage but what do you expect from a group which  kills for profit. The Haitians need help in getting food  and the love of God not the help of some group that wants to help them kill children!)
