As a child growing up in the public schools of Southern California, I remember getting "the talk" in our sixth grade classroom. First our principle came in and explained the mechanics of sexual relations, then another person was introduced to us, a female representing Planned Parenthood. At this point we got another "talk" about how to prevent babies and other problems using so-called "safe sex" contraception devices. The point of this anecdotal story is to point out just how deeply organizations like Planned Parenthood are wrapped up into our public educational system like an octopus. For children in public schools, there is literally no escape. Indoctrination comes at a very early stage in the United States, and based on Planned Parenthood's support of this contraception bill in the Philippines, it would appear that if they could have their way, they would crush all written or verbal opposition to such things (including this blog) using the full force of the government.
We shouldn't be surprised really. That is, after all, the nature of Leftists. Their greatest enemy is free speech. Their greatest opposition to imposing their ideological agenda is free speech. So long as people are allowed to protest their intentions, their agenda will be hampered, and in the Leftist mindset the ends always justify the means.
That's why we shouldn't be surprised when Leftist organizations, such as Planned Parenthood for example, would have no problem supporting a bill that would effectively jail every member of the Catholic clergy in an entire nation. That's why we shouldn't be surprised when they would support a bill that would (if enacted) effectively shut down every newspaper, blog and magazine that opposes the bill within that same country. That's why we shouldn't be surprised when they use whatever legal means available to them to try to prosecute anyone and everyone who dares to expose this evil organization for what it truly is. It isn't just about Planned Parenthood though. There are plenty of other Leftist organizations, many of them stationed right here in the United States, that are just as radical and would gladly do whatever they can to shut down free speech in as many nations as possible.
That is the nature of "Liberalism" or "Progressivism" That is what it's all about when you really get down to it. "The ends justify the means, and do whatever it takes to get the agenda enacted." There is really nothing "liberal" or "progressive" about it at all, but then, that shouldn't be a surprise either. Leftists willingly embrace those labels because they effectively mask who and what they really are, giving them the cover they need to go about their business virtually undetected.

TCK, I've got the book you have featuresd toward the end of your latest post. You should have mentioned in your post that liberalism has it's roots in the same soil that produced socialism, fascism, communism, and nazism, and that basically all of these ideologies are the same, with a few minor differences here and there. For the sake of your readers who may not know this stuff, please elaborate.
Leftism (otherwise known as Modernism or Relativism) originated in the middle to late 19th century, primarily in Europe and was the product of the post-Enlightenment (or post-Darkening) age of the 1700s. Economically is was embodied in the writings of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Socially, is was embodied in the writings and theories of many people, including Sigmund Freud, Margaret Sanger and Alfred Kinsey. Religiously it was embodied in the movements of Mary Baker Eddey and Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. All of this was soundly condemned by the pontiffs of the Roman Catholic Church.
These were the movers and shakers of ideology that would shape the 20th century. Their theories amalgamated under various names throughout the 20th century, in everything from Communism, to Socialism, to Fascism, to Liberalism, to Progressivism. Whatever variant they take the final results are almost always the same, namely the repression of freedom, bloodshed and genocide. To simplify matters, these trains of thought are often lumped under the term "Leftist" of "Leftism" or sometimes "Modernism."
Sadly, most militant Liberals or Progressives can best be described as Leftists or Modernists.
Oops, I nearly forgot to mention Charles Darwin as the major contributor to scientific thought. Though he is not a contributor to the social upheaval of the 20th century directly, nearly every tyrant of the 20th century cited his work as a foundation of thought for their actions.
I should also mention the significant revival of the occult during the 19th century that likely spawned the thought processes behind these movers and shakers. All of this is inter-related of course, and the result was the bloodiest century in the history of the world (the 20th century). The heirs of Leftist ideology are alive and well, working hard to implement their agenda both here in the United States and around the world. They do it under many banners; socialism, fascism, communism, liberalism and progressivism, but it's all the same - LEFTIST MODERNISM.
Well said Mr Knight, and also scotju. Liberalism as practiced in the US and other western "democracy" is a soft form of communism, socialism etc, only being kept in check by what few remaining constitutional safeguards havent yet been overturned. Where in the US constitution is a right to abortion or to "marry" someone of the same sex? It all really began with FDR (i gag at the very mention of his name) who did an end run around the constitution starting with his "new deal" and treachery in our pre-involvment in WWII. Pete Frey
Agreed Pete, but I think the real subversion of the Constitution began under President Woodrow Wilson and the passage of the 16th and 17th Amendments. These so undermined states rights, that with the simultaneous creation of the Federal Reserve system, America's economic demise was sealed for a future generation (our generation) to pay the price.
We got a small foretaste of this kind of subversion under Lincoln's administration and the 14th Amendment that followed, along with Deconstruction (er I mean "Reconstruction"). But that was just a foretaste, things settled back to near normal before the turn of the century, only to be stirred up again more permanently in about 1913.
The administration of Franklin Roosevelt simply built on the foundation laid by Wilson and 16th Amendment. That was followed by Johnson's administration, which sealed the deal for all of us. Every president since then has just been juggling the mess, as has every congress.
The social aspect of the Leftist revolution in the United States came primarily through the Supreme Court which was stacked by activist justices in the 1960s and 70s.
The whole process of our demise has been about 100 years in the making, of which the anniversary will come in 2013. By then the United States will likely be in complete economic and social ruin.
Sir Knight, thank you for following up on my suggestion. I hope some of your other readers will buy a copy of Goldberg's book and find out what "liberalism" is all about. I didn't understand it completely until I read "Liberal Fascism", so I encourage anyone who need to know the basics of this poison to get the book.
Darwin like Jesus Christ has been used for all sorts of nefarious ideologies.
As for the RH debate in the Philippines, I am saddened that the Catholic Church in the Philippines has proven highly inadequate to meet up the challenge of this non-humanistic secularism the most radical proponents of this bill.
The Church has retreated to a siege mode and this bodes ill for the Church. The Church has missed looking at the sterling example of Pope Benedict XVI in dealing with secularism. The Pope does not condemn but tell all what is good and evil about secularism.
If the bill passes without provisions for conscience, then it will not bind any Christian to obey it!
The RH Bill debate... what do you expect from a president whose human rights record isn't exactly spotless? *Hacienda Luisita* Sadly, the Church is not exactly in a good position in the Philippines. They are branded as ignorant (haven't read the whole thing), Damasos (Padre Damaso was a corrupt priest in Rizal's Noli Me Tangere), and other slanderous accusations. GOD help us.
