  • June 2015 Honoring M
    The Schwarz Report Dr. Fred Schwarz Volume 55, Number 6 Dr. David Noebel June 2015 Honoring M. Stanton Evans by Cliff Kincaid Those who assembled on March 12 at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in Leesburg, Virginia, to celebrate the life of conservative thinker and writer M. Stanton Evans heard several references to his monumental 1994 work, The Theme is Freedom. This book is worth remembering and re-reading as we are being treated repeatedly to the spectacle in the media of “conservatives” endorsing gay rights and gay marriage. In an illustration of what Stan called the “pagan ethic,” he cites on page 128 “the campaign to change societal views of homosexuality—to treat it as an ‘alternative lifestyle,’ as valid in its way as heterosexual conduct.” Stan comments, “Among other things, this is a reversion to pagan ways of thinking.” He cites acceptance of homosexuality in ancient civilizations such as Babylon and notes, “All of this was unequivocally condemned by the religion of the Bible.” Yet, as Austin Ruse points out in his Breitbart article, “GOP Elite Ask Supreme Court to Impose Gay Marriage on America,” a brief to celebrate homosexual “marriage” as equal to traditional marriage has been submitted to the court and signed by 300 conservatives and/or Republicans, including no less than 26 former senior Mitt Romney staffers. These so-called “conservatives,” who are not conservative in any real sense, are part of a “Project Right Side” that is designed to confuse the public about the meaning of the term. The “media” section of the website tells us how news organizations have covered the “conservative case for gay marriage.” But there is nothing “conservative” about asking the Supreme Court to impose homosexual marriage on all 50 states.

  • Latinas and Power a Star-Studded Event
    Latinas And Power A Star-Studded Event Carmen Yulín Cruz, Marilyn Alverio, Ana Navarro Bill Sarno/CTLatinoNews.com In the days and weeks after Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, Carmen Yulín Cruz, the mayor of San Juan, became the face and voice of an island engulfed in a massive humanitarian crisis and crying for help. The images of Yulín wading through waist-deep water to help the storm’s victims and her relentless and often emotional prodding of the Trump administration and the international community to do more for the 3.5 million Puerto Ricans trying to subsist under dire conditions and the gratitude of millions of Puerto Ricans living on the mainland. Last week, Yulín was in Hartford to accept the Latina Champions Award at the Latinas and Power Symposium, which was celebrating its 15th or quinceanera year, at the Hilton hotel. The presence of Yulín and keynote speaker political columnist Ana Navarro, attracted a sold-out capacity crowd of 500 professional Latinas at various stages of their careers, as well as students. Among those clearly impressed by the size of the turnout and its exuberance was Navarro, a nationally recognized Latino media personality, who had come to Hartford from her home in Miami, Florida. 1 “I was surprised to find so many Latinas in the middle of Connecticut,” the Nicaragua native observed. “This is not our natural habitat,” she joked. The symposium, held yearly to help Latinas become empowered and to develop their ability to take advantage of the opportunities available through networking and by drawing upon the experience and guidance of people, particularly Latinos, successful in fields such as education, business, communications and entrepreneurship.

Keywords: gender equality, power strategy, women in leadership, women power, media presentation. This study aims to analyze the power strategy of women characters in Scandal TV Series Season 7. This television series mostly tells about the powerful women politicians who work and handle the scandalous cases. At season 7, there will be the four strong female characters that took the main role in this Scandal serial which are Olivia Pope, Mellie Grant, Quinn Perkins, and Abby Wheelan. The place setting mostly was taken on White House and the law firm called OPA (Olivia Pope & Asosiaciation), which is renamed to QPA (Quinn Perkins & Association). The author aims to analyze the power strategies of those four female characters in the Scandal TV Series Season 7. There are five types of power strategies of Thimm, C., Koch, SC, and Schey, S.

This study uses a qualitative approach concerning the use of clear and systematic descriptions of the research being studied.

  • A Historical/Critical Analysis of the Tv Series the Fugitive
    A HISTORICAL/CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE TV SERIES THE FUGITIVE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE By David P. Pierson, B.S. Denton, Texas May, 1993 Pierson, David P., A Historical/Critical Analysis Of The TV Series The Fugitive. Master of Science (Radio/TV/Film), May 1993, 168 pp., bibliography, 70 titles. In many respects, the popular 1960's television series, The Fugitive perfectly captured the swelling disillusionment with authority, alienation, and discontent that soon encompassed American society. This historical/critical study provides a broad overview of the economic, social, and political climate that surrounded the creation of The Fugitive. The primary focus of this study is the analysis of five discursive topics (individualism, marriage, justice & authority, professionalism, science and technology) within selected episodes and to show how they relate to broader cultural debates which occurred at that time. Finally, this study argues that The Fui1gitive is a part of a television adventure subgenre which we may classify as the contemporary "wanderer-hero" narrative and traces its evolution through selected television series from the last three decades.

  • Why Do Elephants Put Their Heads in the Sand?
    Why Do Elephants Put their Heads in the Sand? January 2012 Update The Republican Party’s stance on immigration—and what it means for its candidates’ ability to compete for Latino voters—is shaping up as one of the major storylines this election cycle. As Republicans continue to embrace hard-right positions on immigration, the Party is distancing itself not only from the legacy of Ronald Reagan and other past Republican leaders, but also from Latino voters in numerous states that are shaping up to be key 2012 battlegrounds. The brand image of the Republican Party as hostile and unwelcoming to Latino voters—reinforced by the GOP’s embrace of harsh state laws like Alabama’s— threatens Republican competitiveness with Latino voters in 2012 and beyond. Their failure to embrace a practical solution also sends a message to general- election voters that the Republican Party is more interested in political grand- standing than problem-solving. With immigration a minor issue for a majority of non-Latino voters, and a defining, personal issue for a majority of Latino voters, the GOP’s position on immigration is self-defeating. Read on for more on the Republican Party’s immigration stance in recent years, the positions embraced by current 2012 contenders, and the role immigration plays in influencing the Latino vote. 1 Contents INTRODUCTION............................................................................................................................................ 2 The GOP on Immigration: An Anniversary and a Look Forward .............................................................. 2 Running Up Against Demographics and Recent History .......................................................................... 3 “Attrition Through Enforcement” is Just a Nicer Way of Saying Mass Deportation................................ 6 THE 2012 GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES: WHERE THEY STAND ON IMMIGRATION..............................

  • Did Netanyahu Make the Case?
    Did Netanyahu make the case? Updated 2106 GMT (0506 HKT) March 3, 2015 Netanyahu: Iran could get the bomb by keeping the deal 03:20 (CNN)CNN Opinion asked a range of contributors to assess the impact of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress. The opinions expressed in these commentaries are theirs. Ana Navarro: Obama administration fumbled The Obama administration effectively has had a six-week public tantrum as it tried to stop Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from addressing a joint meeting of Congress. Now we know why. Netanyahu destroyed the administration's argument in favor of signing a nuclear deal with Iran. We've continuously heard from the Obama administration that no deal is better than a bad deal. Anyone watching Netanyahu's speech with even the slightest objectivity was, at the very least, left questioning whether this is that bad deal. Ana Navarro The Obama White House fumbled this one badly. By fighting this speech so long, so hard and so publicly, the White House elevated its profile. With some regularity, foreign leaders are invited to address Congress. Most of the time, the majority of us don't pay much attention. This time was different. I suspect that many Americans, like me, were glued to the TV. What I heard Netanyahu say greatly worried me. I have a feeling I'm not alone. Ana Navarro, a Republican strategist and commentator, was national Hispanic campaign chairwoman for John McCain in 2008 and national Hispanic co-chair for Jon Huntsman's 2012 campaign.
