“Look, we have to stop with political correctness. We have to get down to creating a country that’s not going to have the kind of problems that we’ve had with people flying planes into the World Trade Centers, with shootings in California, with all the problems all over the world. We have to find out what’s going on. And we can’t be the stupid country any more. We’re laughed at all over the world. We can’t let people come into our country and break our borders.”  (Fox Business 2016 Republican 2-tier debate, January 14, 2016)

Question No. 3 & Judges

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, October 14, 2016 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

Question No. 3 on the November ballot is the result of H.R. 1113, introduced by the House Judiciary Committee chairman on January 22nd. It passed the House by committee substitute a month later. Then, the going got tough in the Senate. The first two Senate votes fell one vote short of the two-thirds required for a proposed constitutional amendment to pass the General Assembly. The Senate voted three more times before H.R. 1113 finally passed on March 22nd, and the House agreed with the Senate version later that day. That put the proposed change on the November ballot as a question for voters to decide.

Question No. 3 is another long-winded question of 96 words asking voters whether to abolish the current Judicial Qualifications Commission and replace it with an entirely new Commission to be styled by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Speaker of the House.

Details of the changes are provided in H.B. 808 that would regulate and implement H.R. 1113 if a majority of voters pass it on November 8th. H.B. 808 minimizes judicial participation in the appointment of Commission members. For years, seven members of the Commission have been appointed this way: The Georgia Supreme Court selects two sitting judges, the State Bar of Georgia selects three members of the State Bar, and the Governor appoints two Georgia citizens who are not members of the State Bar.

Sex Crime Question on the Ballot

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, October 7, 2016 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

The 2016 General Assembly passed four resolutions proposing amendments to the Georgia constitution. Each of the four resolutions passed the Georgia House and Senate by two-thirds vote, but the constitution cannot be amended without voter ratification, which means voters must approve every change to the constitution.

Last week I reported the first question you’ll be asked on the November 8th ballot. Today’s subject is Question No. 2 that is so complicated it took 89 words to ask it. In a nutshell you will be asked whether fines for sex crimes should be increased, so more money can be sent to the Safe harbor for Sexually Exploited Children Fund to pay for care, rehabilitation and social services for anyone in this state who has been or may be sexually exploited.

That sounds reasonable enough, UNLESS you know how the definition of “sexually exploited” has been twisted. The twisting began several years ago when legislation passed deeming anyone under age 18 to be a sexually exploited victim, whether or not the participant was forced or willingly participated in prostitution, pornography, pandering, pimping or illicit massage, and whether or not they were paid to do so.

“Satan” After School Clubs: Atheistic Humanism Re-Clothed
Satan clubs are totally unnecessary;
Humanism already permeates public education.

The following information will shed light on the clever strategy used by After School Satan Club (ASSC) proponents, who, repeatedly, deny belief in the supernatural.  Consider this: If they don’t believe in anything supernatural, they do not believe in an actual Satan or God or Creator or angels – good or bad.  Therefore, they are atheists, who more accurately may be called “humanists.”  The following statements solidify that point:

“Humanism is the denial of God, and the total affirmation of man.”  – Karl Marx 

“We are convinced that the time has passed for theism, deism, modernism, and the several varieties of ‘new thought.’   – Humanist Manifesto I, American Humanist Association, 1933 

“Promises of immortal salvation or fear of eternal damnation are both illusory and harmful.  They distract humans from present concerns, from self-actualization, and from rectifying social injustices.  Modern science discredits such historic concepts as the ‘ghost in the machine’ and the ‘separable soul.’  Rather, science affirms that the human species is an emergence from natural evolutionary forces.”    – Humanist Manifesto II, 1973 

Considering those statements, public schools don’t need SASC.  Atheistic humanism filled the educational vacuum when Christianity was kicked out.  Think about the following: 

“Humanism dominates philosophy of education”  Georgia Tech Technique Headline October 17, 1975

“Absolutely, we don’t believe in Satan.  We’re definitely a nontheistic religion.  We believe Satan is a literary symbol and device.”  – Fred Mephisto, Satanic Temple  Atlanta Chapter 

“Satanic Temple co-founder Doug Mesner, known professionally as Lucien Greaves, says ‘Satan’ is just a ‘metaphorical construct’ intended to represent the rejection of all forms of tyranny over the human mind.  We prefer to give children an appreciation of the natural wonders surrounding them, not a fear of an everlasting other-worldly horror.”                

– “Satan group seeks new kind of after-school club,” by Tim Darnell, The Washington Post, August 1, 2016 

“All of the districts we’ve approached are nearby to local chapters of The Satanic Temple, and each school district has hosted, or is now hosting, Good News Clubs in their schools.”  – Luciern Greaves, Co-Founder, The Satanic Temple

A clever ruse: Opponents of Christianity came up with a doozie of a name when they decided to combat Good News Clubs in public elementary schools with Satan Clubs.  The Satan moniker elicits instant publicity and reactions that accurate terms – atheist after school clubs, humanist after school clubs – would never receive, but, reportedly, that’s what they are.
