Homosexual “Diversity” Knife Cuts Both Ways
Source: Wikimedia Commons
If it were not so terribly sad and disgusting, it might be just a bit humorous. But, there is no humor in the radical homosexual movement and its treatment of those who oppose its agenda. That fact was once again illustrated quite clearly recently in the Montgomery County, Maryland School District when the blatant hypocrisy of leftist radicals was on display. What might be ironically humorous if it were not so rotten is that the tables were turned on those who demand fair and unbiased treatment for all sexual deviants, but whose desire for fairness suddenly disappears when they are presented with the demand for equal treatment of those with whom they disagree. They are hypocrites in the truest fashion.
The advocacy group Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and Gays (PFOX) had taken advantage of a service offered by the school district which allows groups to hand out flyers to students on occasion. They had distributed flyers containing information to help students who may be dealing with unwanted same-sex attractions. The flyers spoke against name-calling and encouraged tolerance for former homosexuals. But, those flyers caused the school district’s superintendent, Joshua Starr, to become outraged, and he let loose with a verbal assault against the information contained in the flyers.
WND’s Bob Unruh reported on Tuesday that students at a public forum had asked Mr. Starr about the flyers,
“… [Superintendent] Joshua Starr told students that a flyer sent home by an advocacy organization supporting those who have chosen to leave the homosexual lifestyle contained information that was ‘really, really disgusting.’
… Starr’s response was that the flyers are ‘reprehensible and deplorable,’ according to a report in the Washington Post. The Washington Examiner quoted Starr blasting PFOX.
‘We can’t really do much about it unless we wanted to cut off all flyer distribution, which is an option,’ he said. ‘This group has figured out how to use that law to spread what I find to be a really, really disgusting message, frankly.’”
Perhaps Mr. Starr did not consider that the “diversity” knife cuts both ways. You can see by his inordinately hostile reaction that, just like every leftist radical, his knee-jerk response is to want to silence the speech of those with whom he disagrees. In this case, he does not just disagree; he has a vitriolic, visceral reaction to the message that homosexuals can and do choose to leave that degenerate, dead-end lifestyle.
According to his short biographical entry on the school district’s website, Joshua Starr is married with children, but he certainly appears to be a hardcore advocate for the militant homosexual movement. The members of the radical homosexual movement detest any message that tells them they can escape from homosexuality. They despise hearing that their behavior is not genetic, as they desperately wish it were, because if it were innate, then they would have an excuse to do what they choose to do. When they see testimonies from former homosexuals who have left that lifestyle behind, they become enraged and react just like Mr. Starr, with vicious venom.
For him to declare the message of liberation from homosexuality to be “really, really disgusting,” “reprehensible and deplorable” makes him sound like a lunatic. The hellish forces in this world are feverishly pushing the abominable homosexual agenda on the people of the world, and their campaign in the United States has reached a frenzy under the regime of this truly deplorable man, Barack Obama (or whatever his name is). These people cannot stand for the truth about homosexuality to be told.
The members of PFOX are fighting back against this unjust treatment at the hands of a school district that demands fair treatment for everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation—or, more correctly—their disorientation.
As Bob Unruh reported,
“PFOX officials suggested that the board of education should reprimand Starr for violating the district’s nondiscrimination policy.
‘We call on the Montgomery County Board of Education to enforce its nondiscrimination policy and censure Starr immediately,’ said Regina Griggs, executive director of PFOX. ‘The policy mandates that schools provide ‘an atmosphere where differences are understood and appreciated, and where all persons are treated fairly and with respect in an environment free of discrimination and … abuse.’ Clearly Superintendent Starr has violated the board’s policy.’
She continued, ‘Starr’s verbal abuse, disrespectful behavior, and slurs against the ex-gay community amount to hate and illegal sexual orientation discrimination, which are all forbidden by the policy.’
… She noted the district nondiscrimination policy also requires training for students and staff to ensure its implementation.
‘Starr’s flagrant violation of the policy demonstrates that all tolerance training and diversity education must include ex-gays, which is the only sexual orientation discriminated against in Montgomery County Public Schools. Its ‘Respect for Differences in Human Sexuality’ lessons promote tolerance of gays, bisexuals, transgenders, cross-dressers and the intersexed, yet fail to include ex-gays, which explains the appalling lack of respect for former homosexuals. The board must act immediately to remedy this blatant discrimination and include ex-gays,’ Griggs said.”
Without threat of—or actual—legal action against the school district, I doubt the school board will reprimand Joshua Starr, especially since, as Bob Unruh reported, a representative for the school board has already said Mr. Starr’s slurs are not an “issue.” Oh, but Mr. Starr’s slurs are very much an issue, and his words are indefensible, in light of the district’s nondiscrimination policy. Plus his words give the lie to the radical Left’s claim to want fair treatment for all people. It simply is not true, and they can’t have it both ways. They can’t sit there and demand that we all accept their perverse idea of “diversity” with respectful treatment of all sexual deviants, while they refuse to respect diverse worldviews with which they disagree.
Need I also point out that this is happening in our public schools? We’re talking about a government-run public school superintendent who is fully on-board with the radical homosexual movement and who is pushing that message to the kids in that district. These people have invaded our schools, and they are shoving the abominable homosexual lifestyle message on our kids from the very youngest ages. That is what is truly reprehensible, Mr. Starr!
For him to sit there with his drawers in a wad because of the message of freedom from homosexuality is despicable. He apparently does not want to face the uncomfortable fact that homosexuality is a powerful, physical and spiritual addiction which can be broken.
One very powerful witness to this fact is Mr. Walt Heyer. His amazing story is one that homosexual radicals do not want to hear.
From the website of his book Trading My Sorrows, he writes,
“Over 20 years ago, I underwent sex reassignment surgery at the hands of a skilled sex change surgeon, Dr. Stanley Biber.
Ever since I could remember, I felt like I was born into the wrong body. The diagnosis was gender dysphoria, or gender identity disorder. The transgender support community provided an answer—take hormones and get sex reassignment surgery. In other words, change into a woman. But can you really change?
Dr. Biber claimed that he had changed me from a man into a woman. Years later the truth emerged—Dr. Biber’s own words in an affidavit to a California court stated no sex change occurred. I was indeed still a man.
My perfectly good body parts had been amputated. Years of looking like and living as a woman did not bring the promised treatment or relief. I still suffered from psychological issues which needed to be properly diagnosed and treated.
I turned to Jesus Christ, who surrounded me with His loving people. Through their unconditional love, I finally received treatment for dissociative disorder and now I am restored as a father, husband and man.
Now we are celebrating my restored life, and I’m here to share the amazing story with you through my book, Trading My Sorrows.”
Judging by his own words, Joshua Starr would consider Mr. Heyer’s story of redemption through Christ and his subsequent freedom from homosexual-related disorders to be “deplorable” and “disgusting.” Only a truly demented mind would think such things. I have spoken with Mr. Heyer through email, and he is a powerful and refreshing voice for the healing and transforming power of Christ in the lives of those who seek Him. I am thankful to the Lord for Mr. Heyer and his witness to many people who struggle in the iron grip of that terrible addiction of homosexuality and its various manifestations.
As with any strong addiction, escaping the homosexual lifestyle is certainly difficult, but it ispossible, and for people like Joshua Starr to fight like rabid weasels to prevent the message of freedom from homosexuality from being spread is downright criminal, in my opinion. Mr. Starr would rather see people continue down the destructive, dead-end path of homosexual addiction than to find freedom from it.
Shame on you, Joshua Starr!

Health Ranger, Alex Jones Blast Censorship of TSA Satire Video
Not to state the obvious here, but the leaders of tyrannical, communist governments do not like to be criticized or mocked. That is a fact that has been seen throughout history. American citizens’ unique and precious freedom of speech and freedom of the press have kept us in a position in which it is easy to take these God-given freedoms for granted. What other nation enjoys the freedoms we have to blast our ever-expanding police state, our outrageously crooked politicians, and the sick-headed, leftist leadership in general? America is special in this way.
But, the radical members of this current communist regime in Washington do not like to hear our criticism, and they are working steadily and stealthily to squash our ability to speak against them. The creeping censorship reared its head recently when the leaders of Internet giants Google and Twitter announced they would begin censoring certain content in certain countries. Oh, but that does not affect America, you say. Really? The fact is that the mechanisms for squashing free speech on the Internet are already in place, and they only need a despotic regime to set them in motion to silence us right here in the United States.
One of the latest examples of homegrown censorship in America occurred this past week at the hands of Google-owned You Tube. Mike Adams, the “Health Ranger,” who runs the hugely popular, information-packed website Natural News, created a hard-hitting satire video that nails the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) to the wall. The video is called “TSA Help Wanted,” and it pulls no punches in exposing the outrageous, perverse treatment of American travelers by TSA goons.
Last week, Alex Jones, who runs the InfoWars website, liked the video so much that he posted it on his You Tube channel, and within a short time, Google had placed an age-restriction roadblock on the video, so that in order to view it, you must have a You Tube account and sign in to verify that you are old enough to view the video. I have watched this video, and it is not one that needs an age restriction on it. There is no blatantly obscene content, but there is biting, edgy sarcasm directed at the TSA.
Mike Adams blasted the censorship in a column from Monday at Natural News as he wrote,
“The message in the censorship of this TSA video is clear: It’s okay to molest little children and elderly women at the airport, but it’s not okay to expose the fact that this molestation is happening. That’s ‘inappropriate.’
It’s okay for TSA agents to plant bags of cocaine in your luggage, but it’s not okay toexpose TSA agents planting bags of cocaine in your luggage. That’s ‘inappropriate.’
It’s okay for TSA agents to steal your portable electronics and profit by selling them on eBay, but it’s not okay to expose TSA agents stealing your electronics. That’s ‘inflammatory.’
It’s okay for Janet Napolitano to brainwash Americans into spying on each other like a band of paranoid sniveling maniacs, but it’s not okay to expose the secret police agenda of the Department of Motherland Security. That’s a ‘conspiracy theory.’
Do you see how this works? Google, YouTube and the hoax media all want you to believe it’s perfectly fine for TSA agents to stick their fingers in your anus or vagina, to fondle your scrotum, to cause elderly people to leak urine all over themselves, to demean you and sexually molest you. But god forbid anyone who actually exposes that this is going on — they’re kooks! Conspiracy theorists! Maybe even terrorists!
Anyone critical of the government is obviously a total whack job, right? Because as all North Koreans know, their government is their God! And we should all bow down and worship the United States federal government like a bunch of groveling swine, right?
That’s the new police state Amerika. Anyone with actual knowledge of reality is banned, censored and marginalized. Only those who go along with total criminality, total child sex molestations, and total police state domination of all freedoms are left alone by the tyrannical government and the dominant corporations that filter information to brainwash the public.”
Do not think for a minute that Mike Adams is exaggerating. This federal government, especially now under Barack Obama (or whatever his name is), thrives by lying to the people. An entity that lives on lies will do whatever it takes to prevent those lies from being exposed.
The “mainstream” media is fully on-board with the communist regime’s campaign of lies to the public, and they repeat them and bolster them with every word they write and every television report they create—whether it is lies about the state of the economy and the real unemployment numbers, lies about the criminal activity in the Justice Department and the Executive branch, lies about the hoax of man-caused global warming and their efforts to steal money and freedom from the people to combat that hoax, lies about the cost and effects of the socialized medicine law of Obamacare, or any of the multitude of other falsehoods that emanate daily from the mouths of Obama and his fellow communist Democrats in Congress and his administration. It is essential to their power that those lies are believed by the people.
The problem for the communist Democrat regime is that many, many Americans are now fully awake and will not be taken in by their lying, trash talk. Censorship is one of the tools they use for keeping their lies afloat and for keeping the truth about their lawless behavior out of the view of the general public. Mike Adams’ TSA Help Wanted video is an excellent expose’ of the tyrannical, out-of-control actions of TSA employees. The TSA is a police state enforcement entity, and it needs to be abolished.
InfoWars’ Alex Jones also had strong words for the You Tube censorship of the video, and Mike Adams quotes him in his piece from Monday,
“‘This video was so incredible that Mike Adams put out. Adams had a masterful video making fun of the thuggish behavior, and how these bullies get off on abusing people. It was devastating. It was a perfect 10, five stars. It’s titled ‘TSA Help Wanted.’ And they’ve blocked it for the general public to see, claiming that it is vulgar, when it just shows photos and video of what TSA does to our children and wives and husbands and everybody else. So they’re censoring what you can see, and it’s all part of their selective enforcement.’ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwh6Gobyq9k)
He goes on to say:
‘This is the video the TSA doesn’t want you to see. Because they don’t like being made fun of. These authoritarian thugs want to be taken seriously, they want to scare you, but they don’t want to be laughed at. And they’re scared at this master work that Mike Adams the Health Ranger has put out. I even told my guys, we’re gonna post that and they’re gonna take it down, it’s just too powerful, and they did, because they are scared of the truth.’”
Alex Jones is right. A communist regime’s biggest enemy is the truth, because communist ideology is so viciously poisonous to individual freedom and prosperity that it must be couched in clever (or even not-so-clever) deceptions to keep the people from soundly rejecting it. Communism seeks to gather all power into the hands of a few, central-government tyrants. It seeks to control all aspects of peoples’ lives, the means of production, the food supply, the entire land. Private property rights are stolen under communism. Unless we can somehow stop the dirty rat enemies within our own government,America is heading straight into the deadly clutches of communism; don’t doubt it for a minute.
I applaud the Health Ranger, Mike Adams, for creating this dead-on satirical video of the true nature of the TSA goon squad. It has clearly hit a nerve with this thin-skinned administration. I recommend that you watch it and share it with your friends and family and post it to You Tube—give the Google You Tube censors a run for their money trying to hunt down all the copies. Let us keep exposing this evil, anti-American communist regime for the lawless, wicked creature it is.

Injustice Continues for LTC Terry Lakin
President Obama speaking after releasing another flimsy imitation of a birth certificate in 2011
The examples of disregard for the Constitution, the rule of law, and the authority of the legislative and judicial branches of the federal government from Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) and his administration are staggering in number, and one example of his lawlessness has been on display since before the election. I understand that the fix is entirely in on Obama’s lack of proof of his eligibility to hold the office of President. Before the election, there were people demanding that he prove he is a natural-born citizen. He never has, and I know he never will.
The despicable “mainstream” media are fully on Obama’s side and have waged a steady, vicious campaign to falsely portray those of us who question Obama’s eligibility as being stupid or crazy. They also falsely paint this as a “where he was born issue,” and they claim that those of us who question Obama’s eligibility believe he was not born in the United States. Although we do not know where he was born, that is not the point. Obama himself lays out the main, incriminating detail when he declares that his father was a foreigner. Our Founders understood, and the Supreme Court noted in Minor v. Happersett, that the definition of a natural-born citizen is a person born in the country of two citizen parents of that country. That clearly disqualifies Obama.
Last week, those of us who care were strung along by the false hope that a judge and the Secretary of State in Georgia would do the right thing and find Obama ineligible to be on the ballot in Georgia. After Obama and his lawyers ignored a subpoena to appear and prove his eligibility (a clear-cut case of contempt of court), and after lawyers in the hearings entered evidence into the court record indicating that Obama is not eligible to be President, the judge nevertheless caved in to the will of the Obama machine and ruled him eligible to be on the Georgia ballot.
It is plain to see that the powers behind Obama—who is likely nothing more than a puppet of the forces of evil that are destroying America—have the ability to prevent anyone from succeeding in ripping the mask off this fraud in our White House. So be it. The rule of law and the Constitution are murdered in America under this current regime. OK, I get it.
We are left with outrage upon outrage against the Constitution and the American people, and one person in particular has received another unjust blow for daring to stand for the Constitution. You will recall the gut-wrenching ordeal of Lieutenant Colonel Dr. Terry Lakin, a highly decorated Army doctor and flight surgeon, who, after repeatedly attempting to no avail to verify that Barack Obama is actually a legal Commander-in-Chief of the United States Armed Forces, decided to invite his own court-martial, as he put it, and refused orders to deploy for a second time to Afghanistan.
The Obama machine was not about to allow discovery of his lack of eligibility, even though it is quite evident that he is not eligible if his father is who he claims he is. Dr. Lakin was crushed like a bug under a truck tire in the sham of a court-martial where he was not even allowed to present a defense or have discovery, and he spent 6 months incarcerated at Fort Leavenworth. He received a dishonorable discharge, loss of rank, pension and pay. Many people criticized Dr. Lakin’s decision to go that ill-fated route, but I respected his desire to uphold his oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. He is an honorable man.
Dr. Lakin served his time and is back in the civilian world, and news broke this week that back in October Dr. Lakin applied in Kansas for a medical license to practice with his brother, Dr. Greg Lakin, in his brother’s Wichita clinic, but the medical board, the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (KSBHA), denied Dr. Lakin the license; however, the denial had nothing to do with Dr. Lakin’s medical performance.
As Dana Wright of KCTV in Kansas City reported,
“A Kansas board that denied a licensed doctor of osteopathic medicine a license was primarily concerned about the man’s political views.
The Kansas State Board of Healing Arts is a 15-member panel appointed by the governor and decides the fate of doctors in Kansas.
Terrence Lee Lakin rose to the ranks of lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army. He served on the front lines in Afghanistan and the war zone in Bosnia as well as a medical mission to Honduras. He saved lives around the world and received a Bronze Star for his service.
‘I like helping people,’ said Lakin. ‘And I’ve been, since college wanting to be in [the] medical field and help others.’
… The board repeatedly refused comment on their decision, but a transcript of Lakin’s shows board members didn’t concern themselves with Lakin’s 18-year spotless medical record.
‘They hammered me for my political views,’ said Lakin.”
The KCTV story mistakenly claims that Dr. Lakin does not believe Obama was born in the United States. Dr. Lakin did not say that. He simply has doubts and questions about Obama’s eligibility to be President, and he wanted his questions answered. Of course, they never were.
Now, we have this blatantly political attack on Dr. Lakin, who is already licensed to practice medicine in two other states. The conduct of the KSBHA was such that it could have been stacked with Obama operatives, and it may well be, for all I know. That board has a history of corruption, even though the current Governor Sam Brownback is said to be cleaning house.
Before her new position as Obama’s Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, as Governor of Kansas, was responsible for appointing members to that medical board. In fact,she was exposed for handing out KSBHA appointments in exchange for campaign contributions. She also loaded the board with pro-aborts and was good buddies with campaign contributor, George “Tiller the Killer,” the late, infamous partial-birth abortionist.
In writing for WND about the ill-treatment of Dr. Lakin by the KSBHA, Jack Minor reported,
“Michael Beezley asked why Lakin had no problem deploying in 2004, but had issues ‘going over there after President Obama was elected, is that the big kick?’
Another doctor, Ronald Whitmer also questioned Lakin’s eligibility views, asking if he believed Obama was a U.S. citizen. When Lakin attempted to answer, Whitmer interrupted, asking what it would take to convince him that Obama is a U.S. citizen.
When Lakin pointed out the questions had nothing to do with his medical qualifications, Whitmer fired back, asking if the president had a valid birth certificate.”
This is simply despicable. Now, before you say the medical board was simply doing the right thing because of Dr. Lakin’s court martial conviction, I would point you to another part of the KCTV story,
“Just as Lakin’s medical record didn’t matter to the board, another doctor’s medical record also didn’t matter to the panel.
KCTV5′s investigation reveals that in 2008, the KSBHA board approved the license of another doctor with a history of medical mistakes and malpractice payouts. One patient died after a drill mishap in the operating room. A surgical error caused repeated electrical shocks to a second patient. And a third patient wasn’t even that doctor’s patient. The physician didn’t notice, ended up performing brain surgery on the wrong man and caused permanent damage.
The board refused our repeated requests for an interview about the decisions it makes and the seeming disparity of these two cases. A renowned University of Pennsylvania medical ethicist, Art Caplan, agreed to weigh in on the situation.
‘Political beliefs, I think, should play no role,’ said Caplan. ‘Is it going to be a popularity contest that decides what political views you can have as a doctor? Or is it going to be the majority views that decides what political views you can have? Obviously, again – I don’t think this is relevant to who practices well.’
Lakin agrees with Caplan. ‘I knew medical boards had a bad reputation. I had hoped this issue would have nothing to do with my practice.’
Lakin’s only recourse now is a judicial appeal, but he’s uncertain that he can afford the costs.”
So, it would seem Dr. Lakin is still being made an example of for daring to question the dictator-in-chief. I have no doubt the members of this board are on Obama’s side and that this sham of a license hearing had everything to do with continuing punishment of Dr. Lakin for crossing Obama.
From the WND article,
“Lakin told WND that he had never been asked about his political views at a medical board hearing until now.
‘I went in there expecting them to talk about my military history, however I thought we would focus on medical judgment and medical practice issues and not on political issues,’ Lakin said. ‘It seemed as if there was an agenda against me from the get go.’”
There most certainly is an agenda against Dr. Lakin and against every other American who stands in opposition to this lawless administration. The Obama regime’s tentacles of influence stretch all across the country and infect the media, courts, schools, local governments and other institutions wherein fellow-travelers reside.
The desperate need to get Obama, his administration and the radical congressional Democrats out of office could not be more extreme. This November’s election is literally “do or die” for America, and that is not hyperbole. If Obama gets “reelected” by hook and crook, then our remaining freedoms are in grave danger. Don’t doubt it.
