The Vicious Attacks on Marriage and the Family
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Friday, March 11, 2011
Radar Online, 1/20/11 – “Elton John Says “F*** You” to Opponents of Gay Marriage”
“Elton John performed at a Los Angeles charity event Tuesday night where he received multiple standing ovations and had the crowd cheering when he gave an impassioned speech slamming opponents of gay marriage…
The event, which raised more than $3 million to fight to overturn California Prop. 8 …was attended by 750 of Hollywood’s most powerful celebrities and executives.”
[First of all it is a badge of honor to be insulted by Elton John. My concern is with the amount of money that is collected by these filthy rich individuals and corporations that support this fakeness of a relationship that is contrary to common sense, natural law and marriage. We have parasites on the body of the nation. [To compare marriage to same-sex marriage is like comparing apples to oranges. They are different.] The culture of death advocates in the country outspend us ten to one. ]
Contra Costa Times, 2/16/2011 – “California Supreme Court jumps back into gay-marriage fray”
“The California Supreme Court on Wednesday jumped back into the tempest over gay marriage, agreeing to decide whether backers of Proposition 8 have a legal right to defend the voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage when the state’s top elected officials refuse to do so…
The issue has arisen because both former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger [ a CINOP] and former Attorney General Jerry Brown [a CINOP ] refused to defend the law, agreeing with Chief U.S.District Judge Vaughn Walker’s conclusion that Proposition tramples on the rights of gay and lesbians couples. Brown, now governor, and the new Attorney General Kamala Harris likewise refuses to appeal Walker’s decision, leaving backers of the measure on their own to defend the law."
Ultimately, we are confident that the Supreme Court will decide this issue in our favor. It’s just common sense that someone must have the right to defend a voter initiative if government officials refuse to do so, and who more suitable than the official proponents who gave birth to it, and carry it to victory … Since starting our appeal from Judge Walker’s ruling last summer, in the Ninth Circuit we have incurred over $2 million in new legal expenses – but we’ve raised only a fraction of the money needed to cover these costs."

P.S. Any CINOP who publicly supports same-sex marriage excommunicates himself from the Catholic Church. He must realize how serious this matter is. Among other things, he cannot expect to have a Catholic funeral. If he has any kind of honor or respect, he should run for office & not use the Catholic label. He must be aware that in the 2010 election about 30 CINO Politicians were defeated. It’s the best thing that happened to them spiritually.

“All five of these priorities are a means to an end. The end is this: that our Church proclaims the Gospel in all its power and truth to the men and women of our day.
“That is what we are here for, each one of us. We are here to be saints and missionaries. We are here to bear witness to the greater things that Jesus promises to those who love him and live by his Word and his teachings. I am humbled by the extraordinary works being done in our parishes and in all our Catholic institutions. There are many needs and many problems – material and spiritual – here in Los Angeles and throughout California.
“The Church’s work of mercy and justice must intensify. Every one of us must do our Christian duty to help the poor and the strangers in our midst. In all our work, let us be animated by the “greater things” of the Gospel – the beauty of knowing Jesus Christ. Through our acts of love, little and big, we can help bring our brothers and sisters closer to God. I ask your prayers for me this week as I begin my ministry. Please ask our good God to make me worthy of this beautiful task of serving the family of God here in Los Angeles.
“I pray for you every day. And I ask the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe for you and your families this week.”

“For the Greater Things We Were Born”
“There many matters on my heart as I begin my new ministry as your Archbishop. But I keep coming back to these words from Ven. Maria Luisa Josef de la Pena, the refugee from Mexico who founded our Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles.
“I find her words express some of my deepest desires for my ministry. I want to spread this simple and beautiful truth of the Gospel: That each of us is born from the love o God. That each of us is a child of God who belongs to the family of God, the Church. We are born to be saints – every one of us!
“Since I came here last May, I’ve put a lot of miles on my car. I’ve travelled our great freeways to each of our 20 deaneries. I’ve been blessed to celebrate Mass with many of you, and to talk with you and get to know you. I am eager to meet everyone. And I look forward to our friendship growing in the years to come.
“My heart is truly in Los Angeles now. I am rooting for the Lakers! I feel at home here is this beautiful archdiocese, in this beautiful state. And I’m excited to begin my ministry.
“I have five basic priorities as I begin my work. They are rooted in the priorities of Christ and his mission for the Church. They are priorities that the United States bishops have identified for the Church in this country. They fit well, too, with our Archdiocese Synod’s goals of promoting faith education, sacramental life, social justice, evangelization, collegial leadership and greater sense of responsibility in ministry.
“My first priority is education in the faith. We need to know the Gospel. It is our light and our salvation. We need to know our Lord’s words and how he lived. We need to know the teachings of his apostles and his Church. We need especially to know the Church’s social teachings so that we can live as faithful citizens.
“I also want to promote vocations to the priesthood and the religious and consecrated life. Our Church needs more men and women who can testify to the radical beauty of a life dedicated totally to Christ.
“My third priority is to help us see the beauty of the Church’s cultural diversity. The Catholic Church is meant to be a great multitude called from all nations, peoples and tongues. As Catholics, we need to break down the walls that divide us. Every barrier that keeps us from being one family.
“My fourth priority is that we proclaim to our society that life is sacred from conception to natural death. We must insist on the rights and dignity of the human person- born and unborn; young or old, sick or healthy; no matter where he comes from or what kind of documents he possesses.
“Fifth and finally, we must defend and strengthen the natural institutions of marriage and the family based on the permanent and exclusive union of one man and one woman. We must insist that society respect the Church’s freedom to promote our belief that the family is the fundamental cell of civilization...” G.H.K

A True History of Vietnamese Communism*
A True History of Vietnamese Communism *
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Thursday, March 3, 2011
“I went to the “Vietnamese War Remnant Museum”… Nothing surprised me – not the absence of a single word critical of the communist North Vietnamese or of the Viet Cong: not a word about the widespread threats on the lives of anyone who did not fight for the communists, not a word about those who risked their lives to escape by boat, preferring to risk dying by drowning, being eaten by sharks or being tortured or gang-raped by pirates, rather to live under the communists who “liberated” South Vietnam.
“EQUALLY UNSURPRISING IS THAT THERE IS LITTLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE HISTORY OF THE VIETNAMESE WAR AS TOLD BY THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF VIETNAM AND WHAT JUST ABOUT ANY COLLEGE STUDENT WILL BE TOLD IN JUST ABOUT ANY COLLEGE BY JUST ABOUT ANY PROFESSOR IN AMERICA, EUROPE, ASIA OR LATIN AMERICA. [This is one of the frauds in history education in our universities.]
“Vietnam today has embraced the only way that exists to escape poverty, let alone to prosperity, capitalism and the free market. So what exactly did the 2 million Vietnamese who died in the Vietnam War die for? Comrade, you have disowned everything your communist party stood for communal property, collectivized agriculture, central planning and militarism … for what precisely did your beloved Ho Chi Min and your party sacrifices millions of your Vietnamese? …
“The lie is the response offered by the Vietnamese communist and which was repeated like virtually all communist lies, by the world’s non-communist left…
“First, they fought the French, then the Japanese and then the Americans… and wanted nothing than Vietnamese independence. Here is the truth every communist dictator in the world has been megalomaniacal, cult of personality, power hungry bloodthirsty thug. Ho Chi Min was no different… backed by the greatest murderer of all time Mao Zedong… America was never interested in controlling the Vietnamese people… Did America fight the Korean communists in order to control Korea?
“And who was a freer human being in Vietnam – those who lived in non-communist Vietnam (with all its flaws) or those who lived under Ho, ho, Ho Chi Min’s communists in North Vietnam?..
“I will end with the subject with which I began – the Vietnamese. It is impossible to visit Vietnam and not be impressed by the people. I hope to live to see the day when the people of Vietnam, freed from the communist lies that still permeate their lives, understand that every Vietnamese death in the war against America was a wasted life, one more of the 140 million human sacrifices on the altar of the most bloodthirsty false god in history “communism.”
George H. Kubeck, *the above are selected extracts of an article by Dennis Prager, “Trip to Vietnam Revives Hatred of Communism” – Tuesday, February 15, 2011

2- The Mindset on Unionism by One Teacher in 1973
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Wednesday, March 2, 2011
Preface: In the name of objectivity, fairness and balance we need an investigative reporter to check out the following: The California public school teachers who retired as I did in 1986 had the best retirement imaginable. It included a yearly percentage increase plus cost of living bonus. Was that due to union contracts or put in place decades ago? Also the reporter needs to check out teacher contracts obtained by professional teacher organizations with School Districts in the “Right to Work States” like Texas, Florida and Georgia. THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW THE ABOVE INFORMATION!
I continue with the letter to Assemblyman Leroy F. Greene, Chairman, Education Committee, State Capitol, Sacramento, 95814 – June 29, 1973
AB 1243 will politicize the teaching profession and inject politics in the education of our children. This is for me the worst possible crime that one can commit. Teaching is hard enough, and time consuming without the injection of politics into it. The bill lends itself to the sweet honey of the CTA union lobbyists which is essentially bureaucratic power and control of education in California.
This power rests and belongs with the elected public school board members of education. AB 1243 will upset this equilibrium of power. Why do you want to change it?
What amazes me is this thirst for total and absolute power and control of education by the CTA. They already have 90% or more majority representation on the C.E.C. negotiating Councils with the school boards in California.
Are not the hearings in Washington clear to each one of us? Bureaucratic power and control – human nature being what it is, its weaknesses, the potential and actual abuse of total power:
We are not industrial workers. We are independent-minded professional educators. Please vote NO on AB 1243 and reject SB 400.
Sincerely yours,
George H. Kubeck, Public Elementary School Teacher – 10 years in Westminster, California
P.S. I will be watching CTA maneuvers in Long Beach where sanctions have been invoked. They are in part to educate the public and the legislators on what good bills AB 1243 and SB 400 are. For if we would have had this kind of legislation in the past and passed, we would not have these sanctions.
Correct, we would have had disruptions, strikes, and maybe a financially bankrupt school system to the serious detriment of school children, teachers and community.

The Mindset on Unionism by One Teacher in 1973
The Mindset on Unionism by One Teacher in 1973 - 1 of 2
In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Tuesday, March 1, 2011
Assemblyman Leroy F. Greene, Chairman, Education Committee, State Capitol, Sacramento 95814
Dear Assemblyman Greene, June 29, 1973
I don’t believe legislator Bob Moretti realizes the consequences of his legislation, Assembly Bill 1243 (Collective Bargaining Procedures) as it applies to teachers. There may be some merit for other public employees but not for teachers and especially not for the education or our children.
For one a hundred years CTA has been fighting this kind of legislation. Read their educational positions and editorials right up to 1968. Briefly, collective bargaining is by its nature not conducive to the best interests of the teaching profession and the education of children. What has been valid for over one hundred years is also valid today?
Why did the CTA leadership change its position? There are at least two reasons, financial and a so-called teacher power and control of education. Up to 1968, a teacher was able to join his local organization only. Then came the gimmicks of unified dues and teacher power. You cannot join your local organization unless you also join the CTA and the NEA (National Education Association).
As a result many teachers are not members of any organization. Unified dues in various districts are from $135 to $165 or more per year. [Today they are about $1,000, or more.] CTA is eyeing the dues of these non-members for educational and political power, lobbying and influence in school board elections and legislative bills.
It is also a question of teacher integrity and freedom to teach. AB 1243 is treading on the soul of the educator and the nature of the teaching profession. It legalizes very important aspects of our profession. For example, fifty one percent of the teachers in a school district will be able to force the other 49% of the teachers to join their union, or pay agency dues, or else lose their jobs.
It takes away the rights of the minority, and can subject the minority to discrimination and abuse of power by the shop stewards because we are independent minded, and in particular upsets the whole pattern of authority of the principal with a school.
Are you required to join a union to run or retain your job as a legislator? It is rather ridiculous isn’t it? Well please don’t hand this albatross around our necks! …

Assemblyman Leroy F. Greene, Chairman, Education Committee, State Capitol, Sacramento 95814
Dear Assemblyman Greene, June 29, 1973
I don’t believe legislator Bob Moretti realizes the consequences of his legislation, Assembly Bill 1243 (Collective Bargaining Procedures) as it applies to teachers. There may be some merit for other public employees but not for teachers and especially not for the education or our children.
For one a hundred years CTA has been fighting this kind of legislation. Read their educational positions and editorials right up to 1968. Briefly, collective bargaining is by its nature not conducive to the best interests of the teaching profession and the education of children. What has been valid for over one hundred years is also valid today?
Why did the CTA leadership change its position? There are at least two reasons, financial and a so-called teacher power and control of education. Up to 1968, a teacher was able to join his local organization only. Then came the gimmicks of unified dues and teacher power. You cannot join your local organization unless you also join the CTA and the NEA (National Education Association).
As a result many teachers are not members of any organization. Unified dues in various districts are from $135 to $165 or more per year. [Today they are about $1,000, or more.] CTA is eyeing the dues of these non-members for educational and political power, lobbying and influence in school board elections and legislative bills.
It is also a question of teacher integrity and freedom to teach. AB 1243 is treading on the soul of the educator and the nature of the teaching profession. It legalizes very important aspects of our profession. For example, fifty one percent of the teachers in a school district will be able to force the other 49% of the teachers to join their union, or pay agency dues, or else lose their jobs.
It takes away the rights of the minority, and can subject the minority to discrimination and abuse of power by the shop stewards because we are independent minded, and in particular upsets the whole pattern of authority of the principal with a school.
Are you required to join a union to run or retain your job as a legislator? It is rather ridiculous isn’t it? Well please don’t hand this albatross around our necks! …
