Martin Luther Diet of Worms Speech

"Since your most serene majesty and your lordships require of me a simple, clear and direct answer, I will give one, and it is this: Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures and by clear reason (for I do not trust in the pope or councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted. 

My conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not retract anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen. (Source)

South Bay Leftists Support Terrorists, Refuse to Condemn 'Dancing Palestinians'

             

This is the tolerant left.

This is the "Love all people" diversity crowd which is behind the whole "Free Palestine" cause.

And to think that all of this is now happening in Torrance, CA.

For the last year and a half, nearly two years, a group of local leftists--the Bernie Sanders crowd, the Black Lives Matter people, and the rogue Democratic partisans on the South Bay have been lining up to support the regressive Palestinian cause.

I saw them assembled on the street corner of Hawthorne Blvd and Artesia this whole time. Finally, I decided to confront them about the "Dancing Palestinians" who celebrated the slaughter of American citizens on 9-11.

See the video for yourself, and you will see how abusive and intolerant they truly are. They are not interested in truth, justice, or righteous outcomes. They push their repeated slander against Israel and Zionism in general. The outrageous attacks against Prime Minister Netanyahu are particularly disturbing.

If they believe that a sovereign nation's defending itself from terrorism constitutes "genocide," then no country has a right to defend itself ... ever.

 

Here are the reports on the Dancing Palestinian:

Sad Day in Torrance: Creepy Pat Endorses Sellout Sharon for Mayor

It's official.

Sell-out Sharon Kalani has completed her course, sold whatever integrity she claimed to have, and has given into the spendthrift, business-as-usual political class which has defined Torrance politics for far too long.

What exactly is her beef with Mayor George Chen? Easy: Jean Adelsman doesn't like him. It's that simple. I thought elected officials were supposed to represent the needs of all residents, not just kowtow to the bitterness of a select few ...

I understand why this is happening. Sell-out Sharon wants to be liked. She doesn't want people to say mean things about her, and she wants to fit in without causing a great deal of conflict.

But leadership is about making choices, and choices are going to have outcomes or take directions which some people simply will not like.

Sell-out Sharon doesn't lead. She follows, she does what she is told, and she gets a pat on the head for her efforts.

She gets lots of kudos and nice remarks from "Take Back Torrance." She cares what a couple of angry liberals think, even though other liberal-leaning voters in the city were furious with Dishonest Jean for pushing a failed recall effort against Councilman Mattucci.

Bitterness is the norm for the political "Establishment" in the city, and this bitterness looks for politicians who are easy to control.

Enter Sharon Kalani. I never thought I would see such a total reversal in moral standing.

And to make matters worse, the city's worst mayor, Pat Furey, has lined up behind her.

Creepy, corrupt, abusive, incompetent former mayor Pat Furey endorses Sharon Kalani.

He also calls her a friend. Who would want to be a friend of his?

These facts alone should turn everyone away from voting for this woman.

Many residents complained to me about "Creepy Pat." He was rude, abusive, dishonest with the Torrance public during his tenure. He brought a lot of conflict to the city. He colluded with a PAC to get elected, and he sold out our Ambulance service to McCormick. He couldn't maintain order in the city council chambers when left-wing activists repeatedly took over the meetings to support black thug Christopher Cowboy Mitchell. He threw residents out of the city council chambers just for speaking their minds, but he would allow hateful black supremacist bigots to shut down the city council meetings. This is leadership that Torrance can trust?

But Pat Furey served two terms, some will counter. Only because two Republicans split the vote in those elections. Creepy Pat never had a majority of the city behind him. It sure looks like Sharon won't have a majority of the city behind her, either, if these are the best endorsements she can muster.
