ExposingLeftists.com arrived on the campus of the University of California, Merced, last May to gather signatures on a petition calling for a redistribution of grade-point averages.  Not surprisingly, few star students wanted to share the fruits of their academic labors.

But the logic was liberally sound.  Students who worked hard and studied longer than their peers—in the spirit of fairness—should be willing to sacrifice their higher GPAs to benefit those whose grades weren’t so high due to laziness or ineptitude (or both).

Ironically, many of the same A students unwilling to take a B so someone else could be saved from an F, endorsed a progressive tax code that essentially spreads wealth from people who earned it to those who did not. (more…)

Good evening everyone! If you are wondering why we skipped Part II of our special webcast series, you are not alone. Have no fear, it dealt with a part of the book that would be considered a spoiler and should be read as part of the story.

Tonight’s webcast deals with that special little saying “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”, a section of the Atlas Shrugged book that deals with this moral standard (or lack thereof) played out in a small section of the United States at the factory Twentieth Century Motors Company.

You can watch the Our Last Stand Webcast Here. (more…)

I have to say, I started reading Atlas Shrugged a while ago and had a hard time digesting the long and boring setup of Part 1 of 3 within the book. Yet, this past week I was on vacation and finished it off and started Part 2. I read the whole thing within a couple days.

It becomes a page turner and a fire-igniter within your soul. Maybe that is a little deep but I have to say that I haven’t been so invigorated for a long time. The fictional dialogue is so rich with content that holds true as much today as it did to Ayn Rand in the 50s’.

As a personal venture, I am taking certain sections of Atlas Shrugged’s dialogue and narrating them for a special mini series of webcasts. These portions of the book that are basic dialogue do not ruin the circumstances that play out through the story. (more…)

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil:  God will not hold us guiltless.  Not to speak is to speak.  Not to act is to act.”

In an alternate reality, 54 million blacks would be alive in America today.  When adjusted for abortion, the number is 39 million.

The National Black Prolife Coalition says an average of 1,000 black babies are aborted every day.  Nationally, nearly one in three black pregnancies ends in abortion each year.  In New York City in 2009, 47%, or 40,798, of the city’s 87,273 abortions were performed on black women.

This led Alveda King, Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece, to declare that, “The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb!” (more…)

Recently on Advocate.com, an LGBT(Q?) site for all issues that apparently affect the community, a John Becker wrote an op-ed about going undercover to “infiltrate” the Bachmann Clinic that belongs to Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann’s husband and apparently “expose” an abusive type therapy that the LGBT community might undertake as patients.

Mr. Becker makes a lot of loose points without any real concrete ideas to support his stance because in the end, he is not truly there for the right reasons. I mean a gay guy going through therapy to expose the therapy as faulty while saying that he is truly trying to be straight is kind of like a male and female team of co-anchors going into marriage counseling to expose that it doesn’t work for a news story. The true reasoning isn’t there, as made clear by Becker’s own mission statement:

“I was to go undercover to Bachmann & Associates in Lake Elmo, MN posing as someone seeking counseling for homosexuality, schedule as many appointments as I could, and document what went on during my appointments with hidden cameras.” (more…)

Right-To-Work states can be indentified on the map below. Ironically, the states labeled as “blue” are predominantly “red” states during election season.  42 Right-To-Work bills are pending in 24 other states, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Right-To-Work is a foundation that was established to protect the civil rights of employees while eliminating forced unionism. Right-To-Work is not so much “anti-union” but rather anti-forced unionism. The laws give employees the option to decline joining a union, back out of a union, and barring union dues from being deducted from the paychecks of public employees.  Unions across the country have recently been under fire in many states and situations: Wisconsin, Ohio, New Jersey, and Boeing of Seattle.

In 1994, a 16 year old Texas girl was found outside a San Antonio street-party naked and bludgeoned to death with a chunk of asphalt. A large stick was discovered sticking out of her lifeless teenage body after she was kidnapped, raped and murdered with pleasure by Humberto Leal.

Leal, 38, was brought to the U.S. illegally at the age of 2 and was found guilty of Adria Sauceda’s 1994 rape and death. Residing in the U.S. since he was a toddler, although a Mexican national, Leal could have contacted his diplomatic representatives for legal assistance. (more…)

Recent reports reveal the harsh reality of hope and change.  According to CBS News, while the national average is a depressing 9.1%, black unemployment stands at a dismal 16.2%.  Worse still, black teens 16 to 19 face 41% unemployment.  CBS News, noting the historical disparity between black unemployment and the national average, adds that these are “Depression-era levels.”

The fact that most black uplift is held hostage by a confluence of cultural cancers that are constantly overlooked is part of the problem.  But black America’s enduring conflict—a hesitancy to address deep historical contradictions—is the real culprit.

That President Obama’s race is associated with slavery suggests a cosmic karma.  That he has become the leader of the party that went to war to preserve it is beyond ironic.  This is the Democratic paradox.  (more…)

“No, if I picked one favorite, favorite food, it’s French fries.”  The audience began to laugh.  “Okay?  It’s French fries,” Obama continued.  “I can’t stop eating them.”  As the students laughed more, the First Lady quickly returned to her role as advocate of health eating.  “But eat your vegetables,” she said, to still more laughs.  “And exercise.” – Washington Examiner

Oh Michelle, you never cease to amaze me with your dazzling remarks to your zombies, I mean fans, I mean audiences. Leave it to progressive liberals to make decisions for your “benefit”, yet completely ignore them themselves.

Michelle Obama isn’t new to the health food scene, obviously. Her “Let’s Move” campaign is all about healthier food choices and physical activity for youth. Don’t get me wrong, that is a fantastic venture to take up…at least in “non-mandated” terms. Here is the problem though, the Obama administration is doing more than just promoting healthier lifestyles, they are forcing it on families.

Let’s talk about the Child Nutrition Reauthorization Act that was signed last December by the Obama administration. This Act affects schools on the local level in regards to their lunch content and pricing. (more…)
