The Press-Dispatch H Dangerous game Continued from page 2 surprise is that the mainstream media have usually suppressed news about the "knockout game" or about other and larger forms of similar orchestrated racial violence in dozens of cities in every region of the country. Sometimes the attacks are reported, but only as isolated attacks by unspecified "teens" or "young people" against unspecified victims, without any reference to the racial makeup of the attackers or the victims— and with no mention of racial epithets by the young hoodlums exulting in their own "achievement." Despite such pious phrases as "troubled youths," the attackers are often in a merry, festive mood. In a sustained mass attack in Milwaukee, going far beyond the dimensions of a passing "knockout game," the attackers were laughing and eating chips, as if it were a picnic. One of them observed casually, "white girl bleed a lot." That phrase—"White Girl Bleed A Lot"—is also the title of a book by Colin Flaherty, which documents both the racial attacks across the nation and the media attempts to cover them up, as well as the local political and police officials who try to say that race had nothing to do with these attacks. Chapter 2 of the 2013 edition is titled, "The Knockout Game, St. Louis Style." So this is nothing new, however new it may be to some in New York, thanks to the media's political correctness. Nor is this game just a passing prank. People have been beaten unconscious, both in this game and in the wider orchestrated racial attacks. Some of these victims have been permanently disabled and some have died from their injuries. But most of the media see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. In such an atmosphere, the evil not only persists but grows. Some in the media, as well as in politics, may think that they are trying to avoid provoking a race war by ignoring or playing down these attacks. But the way to prevent a race war is by stopping these attacks, not trying to sanitize them. If these attacks continue, and continue to grow, more and more people are going to know about them, regardless of the media or the politicians. Responsible people of all races need to support a crackdown on these attacks, which can provoke a white backlash that can escalate into a race war. But political expediency leads in the opposite direction. What is politically expedient is to do what Attorney General Eric Holder is doing—launch campaigns against schools that discipline a "disproportionate" number of black male students. New York City's newly elected liberal mayor is expected to put a stop to police "stop and frisk" policies that have reduced the murder rate to one-fourth of what it was under liberal mayors of the past. Apparently political correctness trumps human lives. Providing cover for hoodlums is a disservice to everybody, including members of every race, and even the hoodlums themselves. Better that they should be suppressed and punished now, rather than continue on a path that is likely to lead to prison, or even to the execution chamber. H A toast to Buckley Continued from page 2 From Liberalism" have been required reading since they were first published a halfcentury ago. In 1960, he helped form Young Americans for Freedom, based on the principles enshrined in the landmark "Sharon Statement," which challenged future generations to think clearly, dream big and take on challenges. When we were down, we knew Bill could cheer us up, and tell us what was really impossible, but worth doing nonetheless. Bill Buckley for mayor of New York City? Impossible, but his quixotic campaign paved the way for the election of his brother Jim to the U.S. Senate, and for intermittently good government in the city. I can still hear him now, back in the early 1970s: "So, Ed, if you want to start a new conservative think tank in Washington, go for it, and I'll help you any way I can." A day doesn't go by that I don't think of Bill and the seeds he planted to make an impact for the ideas we believe in. For me, William F. Buckley Jr. will always retain his primary title: the inspiration of the modern conservative movement. Ed Feulner is founder of the Heritage Foundation. H Sexualization Continued from page 2 impressionable, inquisitive, easily desensitized and manipulated. For these reasons alone, the exposure to all things sexual will impact their future. Admittedly, this flies in the face of those who claim children can have positive and consensual sexual experiences. This is nonsense. A child's anatomy and psyche is not prepared for sexual experiences or expressions. The onset of puberty is recognized by the "experts" as the indication that the child is biologically moving toward adulthood. To suggest that children are miniature sexual creatures is absurd. One bright spot in Starr and Ferguson's study was the actions a mother can take to undermine the deliberate attempt to sexualize their children. The authors point out "other factors, such as how often mothers talked to their children about what is going on in TV shows and their religious values reduced the odds (of children becoming sexualized). The struggle is for the next generation, our children and grandchildren. There is nothing standing between self-gratification and debauchery of the next generation but mom's and dad's morality and actions. A dreadful day is awaiting our world, and to those behind the scenes who are manipulating what we watch, listen to, and consume (it's just called entertainment). Jesus gave this warning to those of his generation: "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea." Matthew 18:6. Sadly, many children are not going to get a chance or opportunity to believe, for they will have been taught the ways of sin before they reach kindergarten. Think about it!

"Not yet," she responded. We were already four days into Hanukkah. "Uh-oh. You're gonna miss it," I said. "No, we won't. We'll have dreidels in time for Christmas." It was a forehead slap moment. Instead, I thanked her and left with my chocolate coins covered in golden foil. It wasn't the cashier's fault that she didn't know the dreidel is traditionally a Jewish toy. It was the fault of the entire universe conspiring against me to cause the great Hanukkah Fail of 2013. I grew up celebrating both Christian and Jewish holidays. Since having my son, it has been my intention to raise him the same way. So far, not so good. This year, for the first time since Jewish dinosaurs roamed the earth, Hanukkah began the day before Thanksgiving. Determined to unleash my inner Sharon Homemaker, I brought out the Hanukkah potholders and dusted off the menorah, placing in two candles. Once the matzo ball soup was boiling, I left to set the table. That was the beginning of the end. I swear, at one point in my life, I had a multitude of tablecloths for different occasions. I did. I know it. Yet on this first day of Hanukkah, the only tablecloth to be found was my Easter one. Oh well, I had wasted far too long assaulting every kitchen cabinet looking to worry about color coordination. I placed the menorah on top of the pink and purple pastel table covering. Now all I needed was a light. If I were living a movie, this would have been the moment the thunder crashed. Every day of my life, I pass by a pack of matches somewhere in my home. On this first day of Hanukkah, none was to be found. I trashed my kitchen even more, emptying out every drawer and cabinet, looking for a pack of matches. A lighter. A blowtorch. Flame batons. A fire-breathing dragon! Anything! I gave up; I broke the bottoms off the candles and stuck them back in the menorah. There! Now it looks like the candles burned down. Huzzah. At least the house smelled like Hanukkah. Oh, no! My revelation quickly turned to terror. I'd spent so much time looking for tablecloths and matches, I'd forgotten about dinner on the stove. I ran to the pot of matzo ball soup, which could no longer really be referred to as balls. Matzo mush soup, perhaps. Unleavened porridge. My baby liked it. But what does he know? "Meat sticks" are one of his favorite foods. What type of meat? It doesn't say. It's disgusting what he finds edible. The second day of Hanukkah was dedicated to Thanksgiving. It wasn't until Black Friday that I could attempt to rectify my Hanukkah hack job. My baby and I ran through pouring rain to a local convenience store. "Do you have any lighters?" I asked the cashier. "Marijuana or Ecstasy?" the cashier answered. "Excuse me?" "Marijuana," the cashier repeated as he pointed to a lighter with a marijuana leaf on it, "or Ecstasy?" He then pointed to a glow-in-thedark lighter. "I'll take the glow one," I said, handing over $2. "It ain't got lighter fluid." "Can I buy the lighter fluid here?" I asked. "Nope. You shoulda bought the marijuana one." "Fine. I'll take that, too." "OK," he said, ringing me up. "But it ain't got lighter fluid, either." Universal conspiracy. The next day, I stopped by the candy shop on my way to Hanukkah dinner at the apartment of friends of ours. I had promised to bring the gelt and dreidels. I showed up with gelt only. Luckily, our friends had dreidels. Unluckily, their 3-year-old took me for all the chocolate I brought. My son had no interest in the dinner latkes, but I did catch him eating a handful of gelt. Golden foil and all. I guess it's nice I could impart some of my culture unto him and his digestive tract. It wasn't until the last day of Hanukkah that I remembered something important: I have a gas stove. I could have lit my candles the whole time. It was another forehead slap moment. This one was earned by me. My son in my arms, I lit menorah. And then I took pictures; at least in the photo albums, history can be rewritten.
