Did ADL Influence California “Gay Marriage” Ruling?

By Rev. Ted Pike

After the California Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage, the Anti-Defamation League rejoiced:

“We are pleased by the court’s decision supporting the right of same-sex couples to marry, and welcome this reaffirmation of equal protection for all.

We are also gratified that the court agreed with our assertion that the law raised privacy issues, exposing gay individuals ‘to detrimental treatment by those who continue to harbor prejudices that have been rejected by California society at large.”

ADL was, in part, congratulating itself.

Last September ADL and ten homosexual organizations submitted a coalition brief to the California Supreme Court urging legalization of homosexual marriage. Authored by law firm Proskauer Rose, LLP, the brief charted 24 pages of the best legal arguments for same-sex marriage in California. On this legal “highway,” it may have been easier for the liberal California Supreme Court to go where ADL wanted – to decree that it is unconstitutional and discriminatory to bar homosexuals from the privileges, privacy, and protections of marriage. The Supreme Court’s 4-3 decision for gay marriage, in fact, largely mirrors ADL’s well-known position. ADL argues that anything less than equal marital status makes homosexuals “second-class citizens.”

I document in my recent e-alert, “Jewish ABC Celebrates Gay Marriage,” that Jewish activists, whether in the media or anti-Christian “civil liberties” attack groups, are demonstrating not only vehement anti-Christianity but spectacularly powerful ability to shape legal opinions and morality.

Predictably, in all the public outrage against the California Supreme Court decision, there is little thought that Jewish activism helped make it happen. As usual, “the gay lobby” draws fire from the religious right. Once again, Jewish activists escape suspicion. Unaffected by the tumult, they prepare for their next blasphemous movie, “hate crimes” law, or perverse court decision. Meanwhile, Christians, wearied by Jewish media corruption, sag beneath yet another empowerment of evil.

Senate Amnesty Vote Postponed ’til Wednesday — Time to Create a Grassroots Firestorm to Stop It

FRIENDS, THE AMNESTY BILL IS FAR WORSE THAN WE TOLD YOU

Because the House of Representatives unexpectedly delayed the Iraq supplemental spending bill late Thursday, the full Senate won’t be allowed today to vote on the amnesty bill that the Senate Appropriations Committee unexpectedly took up and approved Thursday.

It now looks like the full Senate won’t be allowed to vote on the amnesty for around 1.3 million illegal alien ag workers (plus their families) until next Wednesday.

That gives us some time to beat this atrocity.

I don’t need to tell you that we can beat this amnesty ONLY if all of you send the faxes and make the phone calls we’ve posted on your Action Buffet corkboard. Please go there now. [www.numbersusa.com]

And ONLY if you enlist as many of your friends, relatives, neighbors and colleagues as possible by forwarding this Alert to them.

Especially important is that you pick up the phone and make the calls to your two Senators that we’ve requested.

Rosemary Jenks (our Vice President, Government Relations) just called me after finishing reading the Iraq supplemental spending bill as it came out of committee. It would:

Grant a three-year work visa followed by a permanent greencard to all illegal aliens who have been working as shepherds, goat herders and dairy herders.

Grant a five-year work visa to the estimated 1.3 million illegal aliens working in other agricultural jobs — plus all of their families. There is no instruction on what happens after the five years.

Grant a tripling of the maximum number of H-2B visas for lower skill, non-agricultural seasonal workers.

Grant industries an extra 218,000 additional permanent green cards for skilled foreign workers.

Friends, perhaps you are thinking what I’m thinking: Don’t these Senators know that we are in an economic recession, or close to it? Don’t they know that unemployment rates have been going up and that industries across the country are shedding both skilled and unskilled jobs?

If ever you doubted that U.S. Senators live lives disconnected from ordinary Americans, you could see it Thursday as 17 of them fell all over themselves to drastically increase the number of foreign workers allowed to hold U.S. jobs! (more…)

Uncensored Talmud Now Online at comeandhear.com!

By Phaedrus

Students of Jewish theology will warmly welcome the sterling efforts of the good ol’ boys and girls at www.comeandhear.com - something more than just a website, where everyone can now download their very own personal copy of the foremost English language translation of the Jews’ holy book, the Talmud. And not just the juicy bits about non-Jews being no better than cattle and fit only for eternal slavery, either! Nope, the C&H on-line Talmud covers the broader scope of this most controversial source of Jewish religious law, too. The Talmud is notorious among observers of the Jewish Problem for its vitriolic ‘hate-speak’ towards non-Jews, but there’s also a lot of common-sense wisdom in it, too that maybe the rest of us can apply in our daily lives (inter-racial relationships being a total no-no, for example).

Come and Hear cite their inspiration behind the project as the ‘British’ Chief Rabbi, Jonathan Sachs. For years now, Sachs has been calling for greater understanding between religious groupings as a means of diffusing anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. Sachs has persistently contended that if only people knew the TRUTH about Judaism, anti-Semitism would quickly die out. He has consistently promoted what he calls “inter-faith dialog” as a means to get the truth out there to folks. Come and Hear have heard his call and gone one better by placing all this material on the Web so we can read it for ourselves! Therefore no need for the likes of Sachs to be put to the trouble of “explaining and interpreting” Jewish law for us. Well what did Sachs expect? That we’d simply ASK him what Judaism is really all about? With all due respect to Sachs, his tribe aren’t best suited to telling the truth so the very idea was ludicrous! Come and Hear offers by far the best solution for the would-be Jewish scholar.

Friends, I urge you to visit the site, check out the resources there. Download your own free personal copy of the Babylonian Talmud, burn copies of it to CD, redistribute it to your friends, and if you feel suitably motivated, mirror the site yourselves as the folks at C&H are quite happy for you to do. Check it out today! www.comeandhear.com
