The following was written by Gina Miller. Her opinions don’t necessarily reflect those of ScottFactor.com, but because they’re here, they probably do.
Here we are entering the New Year and waiting to see what today holds for the first Republican presidential primary election being held in Iowa. I have not spoken on this broadcast about the Republican presidential field since the media and the political “establishment” effectively obliterated Herman Cain’s presidential run. Mr. Cain was my choice, but he was unable to withstand the bizarre, diabolical flood of accusations, innuendo and slander of his character.
His candidacy, which had strong support among Tea Party members, was completely unacceptable to the establishment political machine of the Left. Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) would have been in a very tough spot when placed against the straight-talking businessman Herman Cain; after all, one of the Obama-Democrat machine’s most common weapons, the “race card,” would have been rendered useless.
Nevertheless, we are now left with a deeply divided field of contenders, with two, maybe three, actual conservatives in it. Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann represent as close to well-rounded conservatism as I can see in any of the candidates, even though both candidates have their critics. Santorum’s pro-life credibility is tarnished by his endorsement of the pro-abort Arlen Specter’s Senate reelection campaign in 2004. Bachmann, being an outspoken opponent of wasteful government spending, receives criticism for any government spending projects she does support.
However, they appear to be the only two who not only support fiscally conservative policies but also morally conservative policies. The moral fabric of our American society has disintegrated to a seriously dangerous level which makes moral conservatism in our leaders as important as it has ever been.
The rest of the Republican field just makes me sad or mad. In conservatism, Texas Governor Rick Perry may possibly be a distant third to Santorum and Bachmann, but I am not persuaded by Gov. Perry’s weak record on illegal immigration and his outrageous support of in-state tuition for illegal aliens (what part of illegal aliens does he not understand?). Also disturbing is his act of executive overreach in the case of the Gardasil vaccine scandal, in which Gov. Perry signed an executive order mandating that little girls be given a potentially dangerous vaccine that may or may not prevent the spread of a sexually transmitted virus believed to cause cervical and other types of cancers. His executive order was stopped by the state legislature, and in the wake of heavy criticism of his decision to sign that order, he now says it was a mistake. I do not believe that is the type of “mistake” a true, limited-government conservative would make, but that is just my opinion.
Then we have Mitt Romney, who is a big-government liberal pretending to be a Republican. With “Republicans” like Mitt Romney, who needs Democrats? After all, Romney’s record as Governor of Massachusetts shows him to be on-board with most liberal causes, including support for abortion, the radical homosexual agenda, the hoax of man-made global warming, socialized medicine, gun control, amnesty for illegal aliens and the government bailouts of failing businesses. Romney would be a disaster, because he is simply a diet Democrat. Whether you’re heading into the fire at 20 mph under Romney or 100 mph under Obama, you’re still heading into the fire.
As for Newt Gingrich, I simply do not trust him to be a true conservative instead of a big-government, globalist member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Perhaps that sounds shallow; after all, didn’t he do some good in the past? Maybe he did, but his support for what I can only call a pathway to amnesty for illegal aliens, his initial support of the TARP bailouts, his support for the “need” of our country to “take action to address” the hoax of man-made global warming (which he now tries to walk back), and a number of other issues he addresses on his “Answering the Attacks” page, put him way down on my list of choices for President.
Ron Paul seems like a nice man, except for the wholly unacceptable parts of his thinking. I can very much admire his apparent respect for the Constitution and his passion for limiting the power and scope of the federal government, but his America-bashing stand on foreign policy, his reported antagonism toward Israel, his wacky ideas about legalizing drugs, and his belief that it was not Muslim monsters but our own government that was behind the 9-11 terror attacks—those things are deal-breakers to me.
So, what’s a conservative Republican to do with this field we have? The polls indicate that despite her strong conservatism, Michele Bachman is not a frontrunner. I am truly sickened that the so-called frontrunners appear to be Mitt Romney, Ron Paul and a floundering Newt Gingrich. It is heartening to see Rick Santorum gaining some steam, but he certainly does not have the money that Romney has.
Barack Obama must be shown the door in November. We will have an intense battle against voter fraud by the Democrats. We already see the Democrats reacting like vampires to sunlight when states pass voter identification laws, because those laws greatly reduce the amount of voter fraud the Democrats can commit. We also have the prospect of computer hackers being able to “easily” hack into voting machines to rig the results.
Another gruesome prospect is the possibility of Donald Trump or even Ron Paul running under a third-party ticket. That would be the one thing that would ensure the reelection of the communist rat, Barack Obama, by splitting the Republican vote into powerlessness.
As usual, I dread the worst while wishing for the best, and though I hate to always be a doomsayer and hope I will be wrong, with the corruption throughout our government and society, I am afraid we will get the leader we deserve. But we can still hope that God will grant our country a reprieve from its seemingly inexorable slide into the chaotic, communist abyss.

The NTSB has come out with a new rule that would make it illegal to use your cell phone in the car. This would include all hands free cell phones.
Further information on the proposed rule changes have been disclosed by a source not close to the NTSB that wishes to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of the information. The source says that there are many more rules contained in the text of the recommendation that have not been disclosed to the public. Here are some examples of the new rules:
1. Eating, drinking beverages of any kind, chewing gum and smoking would be banned while driving.
2. Listening to the stereo in the vehicle would be banned as this causes unnecessary distraction especially when changing channels or discs.
3. Conversation with passengers would also be banned. All persons riding in the vehicle will have to remain silent and look straight ahead.
4. Sleeping in vehicles would also be banned as the possibility of the sleeping passenger could be a serious distraction.
5. No child under the age of 21 will be allowed in the passenger seat.
6. No child under the age of 21 will be allowed to have a state drivers license because of the high numbers of accidents by this group.
7. Children between the ages of 21 and 26 would only be allowed to be issued learners permits that would require an adult in the car at all times when that child is driving.
8. A sound proof barrier between the front seats and the back seats would be required on all new cars to prevent distraction from passengers and children riding in the rear seating area.
9. The viewing of video by passengers in the rear seating area would only be allowed between sunrise and sunset so as to prevent distraction from the light emanating from the video screen.
10. All navigation units will be banned.
11. All food and beverage drive up windows will be banned.
12. All hand held electronic games will not be allowed in a moving vehicle.
Starting in 2013 all new vehicles would be required to have the following modifications to prevent driver distraction:
1. Heating and air conditioning controls, horn actuating switch and garage door openers will be moved to the trunk or alternatively under the hood and would be disabled when the vehicle is running.
2. All instruments in the dash will be eliminated except for the speedometer.
3. All dome lights and lighted visors will be banned.
4. Glove boxes will be required to be moved to the rear seating area.
5. All Electric Seat adjustments will disabled when the vehicle is running.
6. In dash navigation units will not be allowed.
7. Cigarette lighters and power outlets will only be allowed in the rear seating area.
8. Temperature and direction information will be banned on rear view mirrors.
The NTSB has indicated that their polling indicates that the majority of the American public overwhelmingly supports these rules to combat distracted driving. When asked who was included in the poll, it was stated that so far they have Harry Reed and Nancy Pelosi.
If I make up any more information becomes available, an email will be sent.
The following was written by Gina Miller. Her opinions don’t necessarily reflect those of ScottFactor.com, but because they’re here, they probably do.
Many of you will remember the classic Bee Gees song, “(The Lights Went Out In) Massachusetts.” It was one of their early smash hits from the fall of 1967. That song immediately played in my mind when I read a December 12th email alert from Brian Camenker of Mass Resistance. He reported on what can only be described as an abominable piece of insanity. The Sunday front page story in the Boston Globe reported glowingly on a family with twin boys, one of whom believes he is a girl, and the boy’s parents are going to horrific lengths to encourage his delusion. A re-wording of the Bee Gees song could say that the lights of reason all went out in Massachusetts.
As you may know, Massachusetts is one of the big homosexual strongholds in the United States. That state was the first in the US to legalize homosexual “marriage” back in 2004. This was not done by the will of the people of Massachusetts, but by judicial fiat of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. Other legal changes that accommodate the various types of homosexual behavior have been enacted in the state, including a so-called “transgender” civil rights and hate crimes bill that takes effect next year. Members of the state legislature are almost fully on board with the radical homosexual agenda.
The story in last Sunday’s Boston Globe is astonishing at every level. Even the title of the piece is all wrong: “Led by the Child Who Simply Knew,” as if the roles of parents and children have been reversed. Since when is a young child capable of leading his parents? This is a long feature story with two full pages inside the newspaper, and reading the story is extremely difficult, because of the sickening nature of it. These identical twin boys, named Wyatt and Jonas Maines, were similar in most ways, except that from a very young age, Wyatt wanted to be a girl.
The long and short of it is that eventually the parents put Wyatt under the “care” of a “doctor” who ended up administering puberty-blocking drugs to him at age 11, so that now, at age 14, he is five inches shorter and fifteen pounds lighter than his identical twin brother. This kind of sick, twisted human experimentation would fascinate the Nazi Dr. Mengele, who was especially interested in identical twins.
Another awful part of this story is the fact that this boy, and others like him, are “treated” at a sub-clinic of Boston Children’s Hospital. As Mass Resistance’s Brian Camenker wrote,
“And the Boston Globe portrays all this as not only normal, but [as a] ground-breaking, progressive, positive event which only ignorant, hateful, and backwards people would dare to criticize.
Sex-change treatments for kids . . . in Boston Children’s Hospital!
Shockingly, the parents didn’t have to go to some far-away European country do this. These ghastly ‘procedures’ are being done to children by the elite medical establishment right in Boston.
As MassResistance has reported over the last few years, the world-renowned Children’s Hospital in Boston is at the forefront of this bizarre medical practice. The hospital has set up a ‘Gender Management Services Clinic’ for pre-adolescent children to be given hormones and drugs to delay puberty (with side effects that include infertility) in order to facilitate eventual body-mutilating ‘gender re-assignment surgery’ to change their sex. It is run by Dr. Norman Spack, who is personally working with young Wyatt and his family.”
On the clinic’s website is this cringe-inducing statement,
“The Gender Management Service (GeMS) Clinic at Children’s Hospital Boston is dedicated to providing care and support to infants, children, adolescents and young adults with gender identity disorder (GID) or disorders of sexual differentiation (DSDs).
… Our mission is to help children cope with the disconnect they may feel between the body and gender they were born with and the body and gender in which they identify. Therefore, we try to help them develop a body that is consistent with their identity.”
We have truly left the land of light and reason and have entered a dark and terrible place. Infants?! People who are doctors and who would do these kinds of things to little children should be locked up. This detestable, human “scientific” experimentation is born in the lowest orders of Hell. There is no other way to put it.
Many people have been desensitized by the relentless, aggressive radical homosexual movement’s flooding of our nation with its wicked propaganda. We have seen our school kids indoctrinated in it for many years now. We have seen Hollywood and the television and music industries embrace the doctrines of the militant homosexual agenda. We have seen our own government and military given over to homosexual mandates.
So, it has become harder for many people today to call a spade a spade when it comes to homosexuality and its various, perverse manifestations. It is not hard for me to put it plainly, although each time I do, the militant homosexuals come undone with anger and derision. They cannot stand it when someone tells the truth about the abomination that is homosexuality.
When we see stories like the one in the Boston Globe, we should understand that our nation is in a very dangerous place. We are “cruising for a bruising” as it were, because those of us who understand God’s thinking on such things know that God will not long put up with a society so demented as to embrace such barbaric treatment of the smallest among us. The degenerates of Sodom and Gomorrah did not even have this sort of evil “medical technology” at their disposal, and we know how it went down with them.
Not surprisingly, the Boston Globe story made no attempt whatsoever to provide any rational counterpoints to its narrative that this little boy’s treatment is anything but a wonderful example of modern progress. The story referred to the boy as a “she,” just like most of the “mainstream,” secular media outlets do when speaking of mentally and spiritually disordered people who believe they are the opposite sex.
On his post at the Mass Resistance site, Brian Camenker provided a number of examples of people who know the harmful effects of such folly. Among them, he quoted an excellent article from 2004 by Johns Hopkins Psychiatrist Paul McHugh, in which Dr. McHugh states the obvious fact that people who believe themselves to be the opposite sex do not need to be supported in their delusion, but rather, need help in overcoming it. Mr. Camenker quoted the last paragraph, which nicely sums it up,
“I have witnessed a great deal of damage from sex-reassignment. The children transformed from their male constitution into female roles suffered prolonged distress and misery as they sensed their natural attitudes. Their parents usually lived with guilt over their decisions—second-guessing themselves and somewhat ashamed of the fabrication, both surgical and social, they had imposed on their sons. As for the adults who came to us claiming to have discovered their ‘true’ sexual identity and to have heard about sex-change operations, we psychiatrists have been distracted from studying the causes and natures of their mental misdirections by preparing them for surgery and for a life in the other sex. We have wasted scientific and technical resources and damaged our professional credibility by collaborating with madness rather than trying to study, cure, and ultimately prevent it.”
There is the bottom line, and Dr. McHugh’s entire piece is well worth the read.
There is no doubt, and never has been, that we should pray our hearts out for our nation and pray that the Lord will grant us a reprieve from our steady slide into the dark abyss of immorality and chaos. As stories like this one illustrate, we are a long way down that dangerous road, and far too many people have no clue of the danger we are in.
I will end my commentary here, although there is plenty more I could say. I could easily assault you with quotes from the Boston Globe column, such as where the author quoted the so-called “doctor” Spack as saying,
“We can do wonders if we can get them early.’’
But instead, I want to end with a message to you our listeners. This will be my last radio blog broadcast of the year, so I will not get to speak to you until the first week of January, if the Lord is willing. I want to thank you for your support, for listening and for your prayers for me. I have received emails from some of you, and it just blows me away to know that you are out there listening and offering prayers on my behalf. I cannot thank you enough for that.
As we head into this new, scary year, I pray the Lord will allow us to return some sanity to our government, first by kicking out this communist Obama administration and taking back the Senate, then by undoing some of the damage the communists have done.
And, finally, I pray you have a blessed and merry Christmas and the best New Year possible. May the Lord bless you and keep you!

The following was written by Gina Miller. Her opinions don’t necessarily reflect those of ScottFactor.com, but because they’re here, they probably do.
Since these broadcasts air only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I write these radio blogs the day before they air, covering topics in a timely manner can be difficult. One of the stories I want to discuss with you broke last week; in fact, it broke on the 70th anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. I am talking about the outrageous, despicable characterization by the Defense Department of the Fort Hood Muslim jihadist attack as an act of “workplace violence.”
If I were not already used to this communist administration under Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) being distinctly and consistently anti-American, I would not have believed such a thing could be true. As you recall, the Ft. Hood Muslim monster, “Major” Nidal Hasan, had infiltrated our military and was waging a covert war against this nation. He finally revealed himself fully when he shot and killed 13 adults and one preborn baby, and he wounded dozens more on that terrible day in early November 2009. The troops and civilians in that readiness station at Ft. Hood were unarmed, and it took Army civilian police officers to stop his shooting spree with shots of their own, which left him paralyzed from the chest down. He should not have left that murder scene alive.
The fact is that this man is a Muslim jihadist who fired on American soldiers and civilians while shouting to his detestable false god, Allah. There is no more clear case of a treasonous act of war deserving of execution than this one. Yet, the anti-American Obama administration in siding with the enemies of America has seen fit to mischaracterize this act of war. The despicable vermin in this administration make me sick!
You may also recall that initially there were reports of at least two, perhaps three, gunmen that day. Those reports quickly and quietly disappeared, even though there were multiple reports of more than one gunman. Oh, it would have been no good if there were more than one shooter, because that would eliminate the ability of the anti-American administration and media to call this guy a “lone wolf.”
In writing about this injustice by the Defense Department, Ben Shapiro states,
“There is a legitimate debate to be had regarding the terminology we use to describe Muslim terrorists. Are they Muslims or are they Islamists? Are they radical Muslims, or are they just normal Muslims? Robert Spencer and Andrew McCarthy have had this debate for several weeks, most prominently at the Freedom Center Restoration Weekend. I come down on the side that says we have no business making a distinction between Muslims and so-called Islamists, since Muslims make no such distinction themselves. Osama Bin Laden knows more about Islam than I do. I’ll take his word for it.
But regardless of where you come down on the question of Muslim semantics, there is no doubt that Islam must come into play when we discuss the threat of terrorism. Labeling Fort Hood ‘workplace violence’ is like labeling September 11 a ‘building collapse.’ It’s not just misleading, it’s sick.”
I could not agree more!
An “unrelated” related story also broke in the past several days. You may or may not have heard of a new cable television so-called “reality” show, “All-American Muslim,” that debuted on the Learning Channel (TLC) last month. The series purports to follow five Muslim families in the Dearborn, Michigan area. Dearborn is one of the largest, if not the largest, Muslim stronghold areas in the United States. I have written before about the Islamic Shariah law that is rapidly strangling the Dearborn area and needs to be stopped.
So, here we have a Muslim propaganda tool airing on cable television here in America. The logo for “All-American Muslim” depicts the letter C in the word American as the Islamic star and crescent. When you go to the TLC website for the show, it begins playing video clips for it, and the first one out of the gate shows a young, Muslim woman wearing a head scarf and complaining that a woman on an airplane sitting behind her said her head scarf made the woman uncomfortable. The Muslim girl said she turned around and told the woman to get her [butt] off the plane if she doesn’t like it, that she (the Muslim) was going to Washington DC to “educate” ignorant people like her. Oh, there’s no propaganda there!
We stupid Americans just do not understand the nuances of Islam, that’s all! We need more delightful people like the members of the terrorism-connected Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to teach us that Muslims are no different that the rest of us here in America! Well, they are no different except in small areas like freedom of religion, equal treatment and liberty of women, freedom of speech and the fact that Islam adherents are at war with pretty much everyone in the world, including many fellow Muslims. Other than those minor details, Muslims are just like us. Yeah, right.
The news that broke over the weekend which has the leftist media and politicians about halfway out of their communist minds was the announcement by retail giant Lowes Home Improvement stores that it is pulling its advertising during the airing of “All-American Muslim.” This was in response to a campaign by the Florida Family Association (FFA) alerting its members of the cable series which it described as,
“… propaganda clearly designed to counter legitimate and present-day concerns about many Muslims who are advancing Islamic fundamentalism and Sharia law. The show profiles only Muslims that appear to be ordinary folks while excluding many Islamic believers whose agenda poses a clear and present danger to liberties and traditional values that the majority of Americans cherish.
… Many situations were profiled in the show from a Muslim tolerant perspective while avoiding the perspective that would have created Muslim conflict thereby contradicting The Learning Channel’s agenda to inaccurately portray Muslims in America.
… Many [women] were shown wearing hijabs and many who were not, but the program did not show what happens if one of the hijab-wearing women decides to take it off.
… There is no mention of the honor killing of Jessica Mokdad who lived not far from where this show was taped in Dearborn.
… The show fails to mention many Islamic believers’ demeaning treatment of women or great disdain for non-Muslims (infidels).
Clearly this program is attempting to manipulate Americans into ignoring the threat of jihad and to influence them to believe that being concerned about the jihad threat would somehow victimize these nice people in this show.”
Lowes is not the only advertiser who is not running ads during “All-American Muslim.” An FFA representative reports that Sweet ‘N Low and Home Depot have also indicated that they have no plans to buy ad time during the show. The FFA representative wrote that the response to their alert campaign has been one of the largest to date and that 65 companies did not advertise on the show again after being targeted by FFA.
If so many companies are declining to advertise on this Muslim propaganda program, then what is the big deal about Lowes pulling their advertising as well? I do not know, but the media, CAIR and at least one politician are acting like Lowes has committed an unforgivable sin.
One California Senator is throwing a temper tantrum, and clearly stepping out of bounds of his elected office. As the Associated Press reported on Monday,
“Calling the Lowe’s decision ‘un-American’ and ‘naked religious bigotry,’ Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, told The Associated Press he would also consider legislative action if Lowe’s doesn’t apologize to Muslims and reinstate its ads. The senator sent a letter outlining his complaints to Lowe’s Chief Executive Officer Robert A. Niblock.
‘The show is about what it’s like to be a Muslim in America, and it touches on the discrimination they sometimes face. And that kind of discrimination is exactly what’s happening here with Lowe’s,’ Lieu said.
… The senator vowed to look into whether Lowe’s violated any California laws and said he would also consider drafting a senate resolution condemning the company’s actions.
‘We want to raise awareness so that consumers will know during this holiday shopping season that Lowe’s is engaging in religious discrimination,’ Lieu said.
Besides an apology and reinstatement of the ads, Lieu said he hoped Lowe’s would make an outreach to the community about bias and bigotry.
Lieu’s office said a decision was expected Wednesday or Thursday on whether to proceed with the boycott.”
Where does this California senator imagine he has any business telling a company in the private sector how to spend its advertising dollars? How dare he demand that Lowes reinstate its ads?
One Muslim woman who is featured in the show said she is disappointed by Lowes’ decision. She believes the company succumbed “to bigots and people trying to perpetuate their negative views on an entire community,” as she put it. As predictable as the rising of the sun, a CAIR Michigan representative, Dawud Walid, said basically the same thing when he claimed “his group felt ‘extreme disappointment’ at Lowe’s ‘capitulation to bigotry.’”
There is a wearisome, uncreative, yet often effective, tactic of the Islamist apologists. Falsely accuse as “bigoted” or “Islamophobic” anyone who rightly understands that Islamic ideology is incompatible with western civilization and the United States Constitution. It is too bad that deceptive, lying tactic many times succeeds in silencing people and corporations.
I like the way one member of Free Republic put it in regard to this stupid Muslim and leftist backlash against Lowes,
“A group of people hate your way of life. Their core beliefs revolve around cheating you, lying to you, and even killing you if you don’t agree with them. They voluntarily come into your country and demand that you alter your system to accommodate them. They spew the most vile hate speech imaginable. And you are the bigot?”
That is the bottom line. Lowes is to be commended, and I do hope they stand firmly in the face of the screeching from the Muslim pressure groups, the leftist media and anti-American politicians. Lowes should know that here in America there are many more of us than there are of them, and we will shop at Lowes to show our support.
What do these two stories—the mislabeling of the Ft. Hood Muslim terrorist and the deranged leftist and Muslim reactions to Lowes’ advertising decision—have in common? Well, everything and nothing. In one sense, the stories are almost completely unrelated, but in another, they are both illustrative of the battle being waged by stealth and not-so-stealth jihadists here in America. Whether it is attempts to intimidate Americans into going along with the stealth, Muslim agenda or attempts to deceive Americans about its nature, we can see this is all part of the same evil ballgame.

Sometimes I find myself hating this business of investing in gold and silver and now is one of those times. As everyone that will read this knows, being in investing is for the most part keeping up to date with what is going on in the world. For the most part, I really enjoy that aspect of the business. My day usually starts promptly at 5 am with a cup of coffee and digging in to the latest news headlines, checking the dollar index, examining what the foreign markets are up to and looking at the price of gold and silver over at Kitco. Then its off to the different subscriber research sites for inputs by the experts. Most days, its hard to fit all this in before the markets open at 8:30 am and I used to enjoy the routine. However, my enthusiasm is now starting to diminish.
I personally am finding all the news in the European banking crisis very entertaining. A new news release every hour or so that is more outrageous and ridiculous than the last. First they had a deal and , oh wait, that didn’t work so now they agree to agree on a deal that hasn’t been written yet. To top all that off, the funniest thing that happened is that the British told everybody to go stick it. Couple that with what the current batch of fools that are running our government into the ground are up to, and the comedy keeps on rolling in. One of many character flaws is that I enjoy laughing and pointing at stupid people doing stupid things and making outlandish public statements. What a rich time we live in! Now, I’m planning to seek the guidance of a medical professional for this flaw as well as a couple others………….. or maybe not. Probably just end up pointing and laughing, but I digress.
Over the last couple of weeks some of the news I’m reading has given me great pause. My urge to point and laugh has come to a screeching halt. It all started with the M F Global debacle. I immediately realized that this news was much different than the normal crap I read. For those of us that trade in the markets, things changed dramatically. It’s now obvious that the system is broken and broken in a different way than we have ever seen. I don’t think there has ever been a problem in the past with the clearing houses that facilitates our trading. That is gone. The other part of this is the SEC and the CFTC’s role in all this. I have always believed that these two groups are nothing but political puppets, but to publicly do a face plant over their failure to protect the investing public is catastrophic.
Well, I thought that all of this was pretty damn bad news and then I saw this headline, “MARKET SOURCES REPORT BIS, BOE & FEDERAL RESERVE WERE SELLING GOLD AFTER IT POPPED TO SESSION HIGH”. I’m sure most of you are aware of the illegal price manipulation of gold and silver by the major bullion banks, JP Morgan, HSBC et al. My reading of all the price manipulation leads me to believe that there are natural market forces that will end all this and the price of gold and silver will continue to rise as we expect. Now that the Fed and the Bank of International Settlements have stepped in to short gold and silver, the rules have all changed in the ball game that was already suspect. In my not so humble opinion, what is going on here is that the world banking community, European governments and the Fed cannot allow the price of gold and silver to do a moon shot, as this is direct competition for the wealth that would otherwise be used to buy government bonds. How long will it take the Fed and BIS to run out of ammunition to short the gold and silver markets? What will happen if the Fed decides that other commodity prices are too high or too low?
Ok, now we have the icing on the cake with this article. Bloomberg News confirms that the stock market was rigged. Turns out that under former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, confidential government information was regularly leaked to select people on Wall Street. Anybody think that this isn’t still ongoing? Is this now a part of the job of the plunge protection team?
The question I would like to throw out for your comment is, what does the term “market” mean in todays world? What is the right approach to investing in severely manipulated markets that may not be markets at all, just interventions?
If the investing public figures all this out, a stock market crash would not describe what would happen. Maybe, a better description would be “wholesale slaughter”. For me personally, I’m getting a little tired of playing is this sandbox. Used to be that once in a while you’d find a little surprise buried in the sand by one of the neighbors cats. I could deal with that. Now it seems that all the cats in the neighborhood, as well as a couple of elephants, are using this sandbox. It’s getting a little dangerous.
The following was written by Gina Miller. Her opinions don’t necessarily reflect those of ScottFactor.com, but because they’re here, they probably do.
Those of us who are paying attention, who see—and can read—the writing on the wall, plainly understand that the radical sodomite agenda and America’s constitutionally-protected freedom of religion cannot coexist. The two are mutually exclusive, and Macy’s department store has given us yet another proof of this truth, which I will explain in a few moments.
The advancement of the militant homosexual agenda has reached “warp speed” under Barack Obama (or whatever his name is). He has packed his administration with homosexuals, refused to defend the federal law of the Defense of Marriage Act, and signed away the sanity of our military with the repeal of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
On Tuesday, Obama released a presidential White House memorandum announcing federal funds and federal departments will be pushing the homosexual agenda all around the world. As usual, the language of the memo is couched in the phrasing of “human rights.” Just as the innocent word “gay” has been hijacked by the homosexual movement, so the term “human rights” has become a code term often used for the militant homosexual agenda.
Of course, there is no doubt that in some barbaric parts of the world, homosexuals are routinely mistreated, but in those same parts of the world, so are all manner of people, including women, Christians and anyone else deemed to be “undesirable” or “abusable” by the barbarians in charge. Mankind’s evil, wretched treatment of his fellow man is an age-old condition of this sinful and lawless world in which we find ourselves, and we should oppose brutal treatment of people, no matter who they are. But, that is not what this is truly about. It is about promoting the “mainstreaming” of deviant sexual behavior.
Yes, Obama is squarely on the side of the radical homosexual movement to the point that he is dictating that federal government employees in departments with operations abroad push the homosexual agenda and send regular reports to him on how the “progress” is coming along under their watch.
The departments and organizations noted in the memo that are being co-opted to push the homosexual agenda abroad include, but are not limited to, the Departments of State, the Treasury, Defense, Justice, Agriculture, Commerce, Health and Human Services, Homeland
Security, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Millennium Challenge Corporation, the Export Import Bank, the United States Trade Representative, and whatever other department or agency Obama may dictate. What do all those departments and organizations have to do with homosexuality? Good question; and whatever the answer, it remains that your tax dollars are being confiscated to push the militant homosexual agenda all around the world, whether you like it or not. Isn’t that just swell?!
Let’s not forget that the United States Senate, in control of the Democrats, voted last Thursday, as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, to legalize sodomy and sex with animals—bestiality—in the military. Oh, you didn’t hear about that on the local news? Yep. In a 93 to 7 vote, the Senate repealed Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice which, as reported by CNS News states,
“(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense. (b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”
Although the Senate is Democrat in majority (51-Democrat, 47-Republican, and 2-Independent), 44 Republicans voted “yes” on this bill. Our senators here in Mississippi, Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker, both Republican, voted yes. In fact, here are the seven Senators who opposed this bill: Democrats: Tom Harkin of Iowa, Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden of Oregon; Republicans: Rand Paul of Kentucky, Tom Coburn of Oklahoma and Mike Lee of Utah. Independent socialist Bernie Sanders of Vermont also opposed the bill. So, if your senators are not on that list of seven, then they supported this bill, which—even though it is a very, very long bill—includes a provision legalizing sodomy and sex with animals in the military. Let’s remember that when these people come up for reelection.
Getting back on point here, in America, the fact is that those of us who rightly oppose the insane march of militant homosexuality into the public square will not be allowed to express our opposition to it, if the radicals fully get their way. We have already seen numerous examples of homosexual activists targeting Christian businesses and other organizations in deliberate attempts to challenge the Christians to accept the deviant behavior or appearances of the radicals, whatever “style” of homosexual they may be. Christians have been sued and penalized for standing firmly in their knowledge that homosexuality is an aberrant, unhealthy and immoral behavior—one that God describes as an abomination to him.
We have also watched as the radical homosexual agenda has been pumped into the minds of our kids in the public school system and the entire “entertainment” industry. This is perhaps the most disturbing and despicable aspect of the homosexual war on truth and sanity. Get them when they’re young, and you may have a convert for life.
We have seen the full-frontal assault against marriage by radical homosexual judges and homo-sympathizing legislators.
Another current example of radical homosexuals pushing the envelope to force society to accept their behavior comes from San Antonio where an employee of Macy’s department store has been fired for refusing to allow a man to use the women’s dressing rooms. No, I’m not joking.
Liberty Council reported on Monday,
“A young woman was fired from the Macy’s San Antonio Rivercenter department store in Texas for refusing to violate her religious beliefs by permitting a young man dressed as a woman [to enter] the women’s dressing room. Natalie Johnson claims she saw the young man walk out of the women’s fitting room and politely told him that he could not go back in because it was for women only. The cross-dressing young man claimed that he is a ‘female.’ Johnson said that he was wearing make-up and girl’s clothing, but clearly he was a male. The cross-dresser was accompanied by five other individuals. The group argued with expletives that Macy’s is LGBT-friendly, to which Johnson replied that Macy’s is also non-discriminatory toward religion, and that it would go against her religious beliefs to lie that he was a woman or compromise with homosexuality. The group then demanded to speak with a manager.”
This is how they work. This man was with a group, and they deliberately staged this assault on the ladies’ dressing rooms in order to create a scene to further inflict their deranged behavior on society-at-large. These are the militant homosexuals’ methods of operation to force their agenda on us all. They knew the management of Macy’s would bow down to their detestable, thuggish tactics for fear of retaliation. Never mind that only around 2 percent of the population subscribes to homosexual behavior. They are a violently vocal minority, and far too many business leaders fear the wrath of the militant homosexuals.
The Liberty Council press release continues,
“When Johnson was confronted by her employer, she explained that she could not allow a male to change in a female’s fitting room. Johnson’s boss referred her to Macy’s LGBT policy which allows ‘transgender’ people to change in any dressing room they want. However, Johnson pointed out that the same policy also protects against religious discrimination and, in this case, it protects her right to her beliefs that were being violated. The manager demanded that she comply with the LGBT policies or lose her job. Johnson refused to go against her sincerely held religious beliefs and was terminated from her job.
Macy’s policy which allows men to use the women’s dressing room is fraught with problems. This policy will cause significant problems and will alienate the majority of Macy’s customers. Macy’s has essentially opened women’s dressing rooms to every man. The LGBT agenda has become the theater of the absurd.”
The theater of the absurd is a very good way of describing it. Only in an insane world would people demand that society accept and affirm them in their delusions. A man can never be a woman, and a woman can never be a man, no matter how many surgical mutilations and hormone injections are done. Homosexuality and its various manifestations will never be anything but dead-wrong.
In the case of Natalie Johnson, the Liberty Council is encouraging us to contact Macy’s and politely let them know that this is completely unacceptable. They provided the contact information in their press release (You can reach Terry Lundgren, the CEO of Macy’s at macys_execs@macys.com or call their corporate offices at 513-398-5221 or fax them at 513-573-2049.) We can let them know what we think about their contempt for Ms. Johnson’s freedom of religion and their weasely pandering to the radical deviants.
Perhaps examples like the one Macy’s is providing may help awaken a sleeping American public (we can hope, anyway). This certainly illustrates the fact that it is impossible for a sane society to accommodate all the perverse delusions of its various members while preserving freedom of religion for the majority. Where do we draw the line in regard to how far we allow members of the sexually deviant minority to manifest their warped bedroom behavior in public? How far are we willing to go from what we know to be right and true?
In the case of people who are deluded enough to believe themselves to be members of the opposite sex, are we really willing to humor their delusions to the point of allowing them to use the public restrooms, showers and dressing rooms of the opposite sex? To play sports on teams and in competition with the opposite sex? The list of possibilities goes on and on, and the more we consider the ramifications, the more outlandish the proposition becomes.
As a society, we must return to reason, or else we will descend into insane chaos and receive the legacy of Sodom and Gomorrah. Members of the radical homosexual movement will stop at nothing to force their perverse agenda on the entire nation, and they must be stopped. Now, as much as ever, we must stand firmly against the militant homosexual activists. We have seen how vicious they can be when anyone speaks the truth about their wicked behavior and agenda, but we must not let ourselves be intimidated or silenced.
And, Macy’s Corporation needs to hear from us on this.

The following was written by Gina Miller. Her opinions don’t necessarily reflect those of ScottFactor.com, but because they’re here, they probably do.
Back in September, we saw a hero Marine receive the Medal of Honor for his amazing, life-saving performance during an ambush in Afghanistan. Marine Sergeant Dakota Meyer is one of the few living recipients of the Medal of Honor for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
According to the citation on the award, this noble, young man went to astonishing lengths to help his fellow troops. He disregarded orders to remain at a safe distance from the ambush and proceeded to save the lives of 36 fellow Marines, soldiers and Afghani military members.
Here is the Official Citation for Sgt. Meyer,
“The President of the United States in the name of The Congress takes pleasure in presenting the MEDAL OF HONOR to
CORPORAL DAKOTA L. MEYER
UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS
For service as set forth in the following
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving with Marine Embedded Training Team 2-8, Regional Corps Advisory Command 3-7, in Kunar Province, Afghanistan, on 8 September 2009. Corporal Meyer maintained security at a patrol rally point while other members of his team moved on foot with two platoons of Afghan National Army and Border Police into the village of Ganjgal for a pre-dawn meeting with village elders. Moving into the village, the patrol was ambushed by more than 50 enemy fighters firing rocket propelled grenades, mortars, and machine guns from houses and fortified positions on the slopes above.
Hearing over the radio that four U.S. team members were cut off, Corporal Meyer seized the initiative. With a fellow Marine driving, Corporal Meyer took the exposed gunner’s position in a gun-truck as they drove down the steeply terraced terrain in a daring attempt to disrupt the enemy attack and locate the trapped U.S. team. Disregarding intense enemy fire now concentrated on their lone vehicle, Corporal Meyer killed a number of enemy fighters with the mounted machine guns and his rifle, some at near point blank range, as he and his driver made three solo trips into the ambush area.
During the first two trips, he and his driver evacuated two dozen Afghan soldiers, many of whom were wounded. When one machine gun became inoperable, he directed a return to the rally point to switch to another gun-truck for a third trip into the ambush area where his accurate fire directly supported the remaining U.S. personnel and Afghan soldiers fighting their way out of the ambush.
Despite a shrapnel wound to his arm, Corporal Meyer made two more trips into the ambush area in a third gun-truck accompanied by four other Afghan vehicles to recover more wounded Afghan soldiers and search for the missing U.S. team members. Still under heavy enemy fire, he dismounted the vehicle on the fifth trip and moved on foot to locate and recover the bodies of his team members.
Corporal Meyer’s daring initiative and bold fighting spirit throughout the 6-hour battle significantly disrupted the enemy’s attack and inspired the members of the combined force to fight on. His unwavering courage and steadfast devotion to his U.S. and Afghan comrades in the face of almost certain death reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.”
This is a powerful story of an amazing young Marine, but a new, disgusting story has emerged that this same Marine has been harassed and smeared by a now-former employer for expressing concern about a proposed deal to sell high-tech rifle scopes to the Pakistani military. Now Sgt. Meyer has filed a defamation lawsuit against that former employer, BAE Systems.
As reported last Tuesday in the Wall Street Journal,
“On Monday, Sgt. Meyer alleged that a defense contractor has called him mentally unstable and a problem drinker, ruining his chances for a job in the defense industry.
In legal papers filed Monday, the Marine claims that BAE Systems, where he worked earlier this year, retaliated against him after he raised objections about BAE’s alleged decision to sell high-tech sniper scopes to the Pakistani military. He says his supervisor at BAE effectively blocked his hiring by another defense contractor by making the claims about drinking and his mental condition.
… The amended complaint filed in a Texas state court said that after leaving active duty in May 2010, Sgt. Meyer joined Ausgar Technologies, a defense contractor that hires veterans to train active-duty service members. At that company, Sgt. Meyer helped teach U.S. soldiers to use thermal imaging to spot roadside bombs. Less than a year later, in March 2011, Sgt. Meyer joined BAE Systems, though the suit doesn’t make clear the exact nature of his job there.
Soon after joining BAE, Sgt. Meyer learned it was trying to sell advanced thermal optic scopes to Pakistan, according to the suit. In an email to his supervisor, identified as Bobby McCreight, Sgt. Meyer voiced his objections to the sale, the lawsuit states.
‘We are taking the best gear, the best technology on the market to date and giving it to guys known to stab us in the back,’ Sgt. Meyer wrote to Mr. McCreight, according to the lawsuit. ‘These are the same people killing our guys.’”
A spokesman for BAE said the decision to sell defense equipment is made by the State Department not BAE. Oh, you mean the State Department that is headed by Mrs. Bill Clinton, who is married to the former US president who sold United States nuclear, space and missile technology to China? That State Department? Well, that’s just great.
Regardless, we obviously have a problem with unscrupulous contractors and members of our own government who, for reasons potentially ranging from brutish greed to deliberate sabotage are willing to compromise the security of our military. Just like so much in our world today, this is sickening. When Hell is in charge, there is heartbreak for the people, and even though it will not be so forever, Hell is currently very much in charge.
Regarding Sgt. Meyer’s case, the Wall Street Journal article continues,
“In the suit, Sgt. Meyer said that after he voiced his criticism, Mr. McCreight began ‘berating and belittling’ him. The supervisor criticized Sgt. Meyer for making a trip with their BAE division president and made sarcastic remarks about Sgt. Meyer’s nomination for the Medal of Honor, allegedly ridiculing his ‘pending star status,’ the suit says.
At the end of May, Sgt. Meyer’s complaint said, he resigned from BAE over the proposed sale to Pakistan and attempted to get his old job back at Ausgar. In the suit, Sgt. Meyer said he was told that that company wanted to hire him back as did the Defense Department program officer who approves hiring for the optics program.
About the same time, Mr. McCreight contacted a Defense Department program manager and said that Sgt. Meyer was ‘mentally unstable’ and ‘had a problem related to drinking in a social setting,’ the lawsuit alleges.
On June 1, an Ausgar employee wrote an email to Sgt. Meyer saying his rehiring had been blocked by what Mr. McCreight told the Pentagon program manager, the suit says. Contacted Monday, the program manager, Robert Higginson, declined to discuss the case. A lawyer for Mr. McCreight didn’t return a request for comment.
Later in June, Sgt. Meyer filed a defamation suit against BAE in San Antonio, where Mr. McCreight worked at the time.”
So, the question is why would Mr. McCreight behave in this way? Why would he mistreat Sgt. Meyer, and go so far as to bad-mouth him to the Defense Department to keep him from getting his old job back? Was McCreight’s behavior motivated by envy of the coming Medal of Honor award for Sgt. Meyer, or was it actually a blundering attempt to silence Sgt. Meyer? Either way, it appears McCreight—and by extension, BAE Systems—underestimated this fine Marine, and at the least, BAE has a big public relations problem on its hands.
In an editorial column at Fox News online, retired U.S. Marine Corp Lieutenant Colonel and Fox News military analyst Bill Cowan wrote,
“In taking a stand against giving technology to those who might use it against us, Mr. Meyer is again demonstrating the core values which he exhibited in winning the Medal of Honor – care, concern, and devotion for the lives of his fellow Americans on the battlefield.
And while this battle may instead be fought in a courtroom, Mr. Meyer is not backing down. In fact, he’s fully engaged.
His legal team surely knows that BAE will exhaust any and all resources if necessary to win.
In contrast, Mr. Meyer likely doesn’t have deep pockets. He was working a construction job when President Obama called him to say he’d won the Medal of Honor.
None-the-less, his legal team has signed on, and it’s likely not because they don’t believe he has a strong case. By all outward appearances he does.
It’s also likely that BAE will quickly realize they are in a losing battle on many fronts. First, they are engaging a Medal of Honor winner and accusing him of being unstable and a problem drinker. If either or both are true, he should have been confronted, counseled, and possibly let go before he resigned.
Instead, after he resigned, an employee at BAE chose to disparage his character in a conversation with the government and with a new potential employer. BAE will surely lose the public relations war on this front, and maybe the legal one too.
Secondly, if the rifle scopes BAE are trying to sell to Pakistan are indeed better than what our own forces have, their problem suddenly gets much bigger!
Mr. Meyer is absolutely correct when he notes that some of the scopes may well be used against our forces. BAE is providing high technology, battlefield gear to potential enemies! This in its own right is an absolute public relations disaster for BAE, irrespective of how many other defense contractors are doing similar sales. It’s BAE who will be in the news, not them.”
This is a no-win situation for BAE Systems. Right off the bat the company is fighting an uphill battle by standing against a hero such as Sgt. Meyer, and secondly, Americans who are even remotely engaged in US and world politics and events will not look kindly on a company providing such equipment to a country known to stand with Islamic terror groups against the United States, even if the equipment sale was given the go-ahead by the misguided State Department.
BAE needs to issue a formal apology to Sgt. Meyer and settle this case out of court, or else it will not likely go well with them in that Texas courtroom.

We have heard of the horrors imposed on the people of China—women who have been forced to have abortions due to China’s demented and barbaric “one-child policy.” Due to that sick mandate, enacted in the late 1970s, a disproportionately large male population has resulted, because Chinese parents have selectively aborted baby girls in the hopes of having a son instead.
Back in 2004, China banned sex-selection abortions, and according to current legislation pending in the U.S. House of Representatives, China is enforcing the ban. India and the United Kingdom have also banned sex and race-based abortions, and the United Nations favors such a ban, according to this same legislation.
Amazingly enough, right here in the United States, sex-selection and race-based abortions are perfectly “legal,” except in Arizona, where, earlier this year, Governor Jan Brewer signed into law a ban on sex and raced-based abortions. Now, a tenacious congressman from Arizona has reintroduced legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives that would prohibit sex-selection and race-based abortions.
Arizona Republican Rep. Trent Franks has reintroduced the “Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act,” or PRENDA, which he originally drafted back in 2009 and which was rejected at the time. The legislation would prohibit discrimination against the unborn on the basis of race or sex—you know, just like the freedom from discrimination each of us already enjoys here in America—at least those of us who have been blessed enough to have escaped alive from the birth canal.
From the text of the legislation concerning sex-selection abortions,
“Women are a vital part of American society and culture and possess the same fundamental human rights and civil rights as men.
United States law prohibits the dissimilar treatment for males and females who are similarly situated and prohibits sex discrimination in various contexts, including the provision of employment, education, housing, health insurance coverage, and athletics.
Sex is an immutable characteristic, and is ascertainable at the earliest stages of human development through existing medical technology and procedures commonly in use…
Experts have demonstrated that the sex-selection industry is on the rise and predict that it will continue to be a growing trend in the United States. Sex determination is always a necessary step to the procurement of a sex-selection abortion.
A `sex-selection abortion’ is an abortion undertaken for purposes of eliminating an unborn child of an undesired sex. Sex-selection abortion is barbaric, and described by scholars and civil rights advocates as an act of sex-based or gender-based violence, predicated on sex discrimination. By definition, sex-selection abortions do not implicate the health of the mother of the unborn, but instead are elective procedures motivated by sex or gender bias.”
Similar points are made in regard to race-based abortions,
“Minorities are a vital part of American society and culture and possess the same fundamental human rights and civil rights as the majority.
United Sates law prohibits the dissimilar treatment of persons of different races who are similarly situated. United States law prohibits discrimination on the basis of race in various contexts, including the provision of employment, education, housing, health insurance coverage, and athletics.
A `race-selection abortion’ is an abortion performed for purposes of eliminating an unborn child because the child or a parent of the child is of an undesired race. Race-selection abortion is barbaric, and described by civil rights advocates as an act of race-based violence, predicated on race discrimination. By definition, race-selection abortions do not implicate the health of mother of the unborn, but instead are elective procedures motivated by race bias.
Race-selection abortions have the effect of diminishing the number of minorities in the American population and therefore, the American electorate.
Race-selection abortion reinforces racial discrimination and has no place in a civilized society.”
The legislation prescribes penalties for abortioners who would provide such an abortion or anyone who would coerce a girl or woman to have such an abortion, but it does not penalize the girl or woman for attempting to have such an abortion as is seen in the text of the legislation,
“In General- Whoever knowingly–
(1) performs an abortion knowing that such abortion is sought based on the sex, gender, color or race of the child, or the race of a parent of that child;
(2) uses force or the threat of force to intentionally injure or intimidate any person for the purpose of coercing a sex-selection or race-selection abortion; or
(3) solicits or accepts funds for the purpose of financing a sex-selection abortion or a race-selection abortion;
or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
… (e) Exception- A woman upon whom a sex-selection or race-selection abortion is performed may not be prosecuted or held civilly liable for any violation of this section, or for a conspiracy to violate this section.”
This legislation would require the reporting of such an abortion to law enforcement authorities.
Naturally, the pro-abort crowd is firmly against this common-sense proposal. At least one writer claims that such abortions are not an issue in America. James King, a blogger writing in the Phoenix New Times, says that the problem of such abortions is “non-existent.” To prove” this point, he cites a Planned Parenthood representative,
“Earlier this year, when the far-right-wingers in the Arizona Legislature were ironing out the details of the state’s new race/gender-based abortion law, we spoke to Cyndi Cerf, a spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood, to see if there was any need for the new law.
‘There is no indication that this is even an issue,’ she told New Times.
Cerf, rather, feels that the bill ‘is just to further damage the reputations of women who get an abortion.’”
So, that’s the pro-abort gang’s position: this is nothing more than a right-wing attempt to hurt women. How typical of them. They can’t possibly fathom that conservatives actually care deeply for women who consider abortion. Conservatives do care for the girls and women who suffer all manner of physical, emotional and spiritual harm from abortions, but we also care for the tiny babies who are on the chopping block inside the hell hole abortion mills. The pro-aborts are so blinded by their murderous ideology toward pre-born babies that they mindlessly put aside the civil rights they otherwise loudly demand for women and minorities.
Though perhaps not on an epidemic scale such as seen in China and elsewhere, sex and race-based abortions do occur in the United States.
Life News quoted Rep. Franks as saying,
“’Sex-selection abortion is happening in the United States. A study published in the April 2008 Journal of the National Academy of Sciences shows through U.S. Census data that certain segments of the U.S. population – particularly those coming from countries that practice sex-selection abortion – have unnaturally skewed sex-ratios at birth caused by sex-selection ‘most likely at the prenatal stages,’’ Franks added.
Franks also noted that abortion centers are disproportionately placed in African-American communities and he pointed out that Planned Parenthood has come under fire for accepting donations from people claiming to want the abortion business to target blacks.
‘Following the unearthing of the nation-wide race-targeted abortion donations, civil rights activists and African-American pastors from across the country protested government acquiescence in race-targeted abortion and the government funding of clinics that they believe are purposefully placed in the inner city and targeted to minority women,’ he said.”
Yes, these types of abortions most certainly do happen in the United States, and it is high time that we caught up to the rest of the world in banning such barbaric practices. All abortions are barbaric and should be outlawed, but here is one step in the right direction.
Congressman Franks should have our support, because he is doing a world of good by standing firmly and not giving up on this legislation. Our congressmen need to hear from us on this. This should be the law of the land.

Warning: Foul language, but worth a listen.
