ContributorNetwork – COMMENTARY | The White House has announced a point in President Barack Obama’s 2013 budget proposal which would give a 0.5 percent pay increase to civilian federal employees, according to the Washington Post. As a political/business consultant, I see this as a bad move for the president. It is a move which sends a bad message to the citizens of the U.S. who are struggling to find work.

ContributorNetwork – Mitt Romney challenged Barack Obama in a Tuesday night speech in Bedford, N.H., saying their competing economic visions represented a struggle over the soul of America. Shortly after being introduced by his wife Ann to the citizens crowding Bedford’s Town Hall, Romney declared, “The battle we face today is not over the budget, but over our soul.”

The mayor of a small town on the coast of Peru known for its long beaches and flavorful shrimp, believes that there is something queer in the water. Huarmey Mayor Jose Benitez has revealed that metal strontium has got in the water supply, and his belief that it is making men homosexual. “Unfortunately strontium reduces male hormones and suddenly we’ll be as Tabalosos, where the percentages are increasing of homosexuality,” The Daily Mail reports he announced while i ssuing a warning to the citizens of Huarmey during an opening ceremony for a local water project. A Peruvian television report several years ago claimed that the population of Tabalosos was predominantly gay. The interior city is the source of water for Huarmey. The report has been rebuked, but the stigma still exists, as Benitez cites the false study in his water project announcement. Dr. Robert Castro Rodriguez, Dean of the College of Pharmaceutical Chemistry of Lima, told a radio station that strontium can cause bone cancer, anaemia and cardiovascular problems, according to Pink News. A link with homosexuality has yet to be identified.

Hermain Cain was kidding when he said as president he’d call for an electric fence along the Mexican border. But not really. Syke! Seriously, it was a joke. Not! From the Phoenix New Times : “Let me first say it was a joke, and some people don’t think that it was a good joke, and it’s probably not a joke that you’re supposed to make if you’re a presidential candidate,” [Cain said, speaking Monday at a meeting with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona]. “I apologize if it offended anyone. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa .” Only, it might not be a joke, he later said, before finally saying he just doesn’t want to offend anyone. “I don’t like to offend anyone…however, I don’t apologize for using a combination of a fence. And it might be electrified — I’m not walking away from that,” Cain backtracked. “I just don’t want to offend anybody. It was a joke to the extent in the context of the views of that speech, but in terms of what we need to do, I fully intend to do so because I’m more sensitive to our citizens being hurt.” Fake out! h/t “New York” magazine

In a move almost too shocking to comprehend, kindergarten children in Basel, Switzerland will be presented this year with fabric models of human genitalia in a “sex box” to teach them that “contacting body parts can be pleasurable.” Pictures of the sex box were too graphic to include, but can be viewed here . To make matters worse, the kit is intended to be given out to the primary school students by teachers during sex-education classes. That’s right. Sex education classes for kindergartners. And, if that were not bad enough, the sex box allegedly uses models and recommends children massage each other or rub themselves with warm sand bags, accompanied by soft music . What’s more, Basel education minister Christoph Eymann, from the liberal democrat party, opposed parents’ requests to exempt their children from the lessons, saying the government uses schools in order to have unrestricted access to children. “Primary school may be the only big audience that our society has,” Eymann said. “The shared values that it teaches are very important. I would definitely like to keep this. The explanatory lesson can be portrayed in a way that doesn’t offend.” LifeSiteNews adds: “Children should be encouraged to develop and experience their sexuality in a pleasurable way,” Daniel Schneider, a deputy kindergarten rector for Basel who helped develop the sex ed curriculum along with experts, had said earlier this year. He added, “It’s important that they learn to say no if they don’t want to be touched in a certain area.” Education officials who have reportedly been flooded with over 3000 complaints from outraged parents have agreed to change the program’s name, but will do nothing to stop the materials from being distributed in schools, according to  The Local . Christoph Eymann, Basel education minister and member of the liberal democrat party (LDP), told the paper  SonntagsBlick , “It was no doubt stupid to call it a ‘sex box’ – we will change that. As if a sex box by any other name would somehow be less egregious. Eymann continued: “But we will stick to our goal: to get across to children that sexuality is something natural. Without forcing anything upon them or taking anything away from their parents.” Eymann said he understood that one line in the program, “touching can be enjoyed heartily,” could be misconstrued, but added, “It is not about ‘touch me, feel me.’ “We want to tell the children that there is contact that they may find pleasurable, but some that they should say ‘no’ to. Kids can unfortunately can become victims of sexual violence already at playschool age.” Eymann, who said children should ideally be taught about sex at home thinks school officials are addressing the problem of an “oversexualised society” in which pornography is available to children via the internet. Meanwhile, pro-family advocates in Europe have expressed outrage at the prospect of presenting five year-old children with the sex box. Daniel Trappitsch of the Citizens for Citizens association labeled the idea a “catastrophic development.” “Sex education, sure, but it shouldn’t been done this early and it certainly shouldn’t be obligatory,” he said. Trappitsch’s group claims they will fight the program. It should be noted that the “sex box” program, for as far-fetched as it sounds, could soon be en route to the U.S. — especially given the recent statement made my Health and Human Services that asserts even infants and toddlers are “sexual beings,” while members of the psychiatric community simultaneously call for the decriminalization of pedophilia .

ContributorNetwork – On May 1, President Barack Obama addressed the citizens of the United States and announced that U.S. forces had found and killed known terrorist and 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. The following day, Interpol, the International Criminal Police organization, urged caution to all countries, including the United States, and to be on full alert for possible terrorist attacks in retaliation for bin Laden’s death. While there is no known threats to the United States, it is in our best interest to be vigilant and prepared if an attack should occur. On May 2, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey held a press conference in which he announced, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, that the police force of Philadelphia was placed on high alert. Extra security was being given to local mosques and synagogues. Citizens were urged to live their lives as they normally would, but were asked to pay special attention to anything that was out of the ordinary. A good example of the level of vigilance Philadelphia is showing toward suspicious packages and threats occurred on May 2, the day after the announcement of bin Laden’s death. In the early afternoon hours at 3rd and Chestnut Streets, a package that appeared to be a pipe bomb was found at the First Bank of the United States. Police secured the surrounding area while the Bomb Squad team and Homeland Security determined whether the package was a veritable threat. Police cars blocked every possible entrance to the First Bank of the United States, as news vans emerged and helicopters flew over head. Citizens were ushered from the area, as they looked around in worry. An elderly woman whispered to another, “I heard it’s a bomb scare.” Around 3:30 p.m., the Bomb Squad had determined that the package was a hoax. It is quite clear that the Philadelphia area is heeding Interpol’s advice, and is remaining highly vigilant in the wake of bin Laden’s death. While it is not clear whether a terrorist attack is imminent, in times of uncertainty, the safety of the citizens becomes the utmost priority.
