NEA recomends Alinsky as teaching aid

clipper's remarks: I love how it isn't 'personal terrorism' if you just deem someone to be a symbol and not a person. Maybe that is why the left is so sympathetic to the Fort Hood shooter. They don't consider those dead as people, but only as symbols of something they can't stand.

The National Education Association (NEA) website recommends Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” for nation’s teachers as a classroom aide.

Barack Obama was hired by an Alinsky protege back when he worked as a community organizer. He’s already been accused of utilizing Alinsky’s Marxist tactics.

Here is part of the NEA’s review of Saul Alinsky’s radical writings:

Radicals precipitate the social crisis by action – by using power.

The American Radical will fight privilege and power

The Radical recognizes that constant dissension and conflict is and has been the fire under the boiler of democracy

The Radical may resort to the sword but when he does he is not filled with hatred against those individuals whom he attacks. He hates these individuals not as persons but as symbols representing ideas or interests which he believes to be inimical to the welfare of the people.

That is the reason why Radicals, although frequently embarking upon revolutions, have rarely resorted to personal terrorism.

Masculinity beliefs impacting men's health

Masculinity beliefs impacting men's health

Men that are middle-aged and who strongly idealize masculinity are almost 50 percent less likely than other men to seek healthcare services, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Sociological Association.

"This research strongly suggests that deep-seated masculinity beliefs are one core cause of men's poor health, in as much as they reduce compliance with recommended preventative health services," said Kristen W. Springer, the study's primary researcher.

The study also noted that education - despite its well-established beneficial effect on health behaviors - also was a moderating factor. Highly educated men with the strongest-held masculinity beliefs were just as unlikely to obtain preventative care as men with lower levels of education.

She concluded by emphasizing the need for more research using samples with greater diversity.

NASA tries to dispel 2012 film myths

The world is not coming to an end on December 21, 2012, US space agency NASA insists.

The latest big screen offering from Sony Pictures, 2012, arrives in theatres today.

The $US200 million production about the end of the world is based on internet rumours and myths backed by the Mayan calendar.

The film claims that the end of time will come when an obscure planet - Nibiru - heads toward and collides with Earth.

The planet was supposedly discovered by the Sumerians, according to claims by pseudo-scientists, paranormal activity enthusiasts and internet theorists.

Some websites accuse NASA of concealing the truth on the wayward planet's existence, but the US space agency has denounced such stories as an "internet hoax."

"There is no factual basis for these claims," NASA said in a question-and-answer post on its website.

If such a collision were real "astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye," it added.

Secondly, Social Justice may be seen not as a particular viewpoint on such issues, but rather as a concern with studying them with no preconceived notions. In this perspective, no particular stance is taken on issues of poverty, capitalism, socialism, discrimination, government regulation of the economy, free enterprise, environmentalism, taxation, charity, diversity, etc. Rather, the only claim is that such topics are important for a liberal arts education, and that any institution of higher learning that ignores them does so at peril to its own mission.
