Political opponents should tone down their harsh rhetoric and critics of President Barack Obama still need to respect his office despite political differences, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez said Wednesday.

During a conference call with reporters on GOP efforts to recruit more women and minority candidates, the Republican rising star and nation’s only Latina governor said the often-heated rhetoric gets in the way of tackling important issues and speaking to voters.

“I do think we do have to respect the position of the presidency,” Martinez said. “Because he is the president of the United States that position deserves the respect as a leader of a free country.”

FBI to investigate disappearance of a Malaysian Airlines jet

latimes.com

WASHINGTON — The FBI is deploying agents and technical experts to assist in investigating the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines jet, based on the American citizenship of three of the passengers aboard the lost flight, a top federal law enforcement official in Washington said Saturday.

“He said that a fourth passenger, whom he described as an infant flying with the three Americans, also may be a U.S citizen.

“This gives us entree” to the case, the official said, speaking confidentially because the FBI investigation is just beginning. “But so far what happened is a mystery.”

Mars Hill Defends How Mark Driscoll’s ‘Real Marriage’ Became a Bestseller

Recent reports telling how Mark Driscoll’s book reached the top of a bestseller list have left Mars Hill Church calling the campaign “unwise,” but not “uncommon or illegal.”

Driscoll has recently faced scrutiny for citation errors in a study guide. Now, his book Real Marriage, which Driscoll coauthored with his wife, Grace, is receiving intense attention concerning how it became a New York Times No. 1 bestseller.

In 2011 and 2012, Mars Hill reportedly paid a marketing company ResultSource Inc. (RSI) $210,000 in a contract designed to boost the book to the bestseller list. In a 2011 document, the deal’s main purpose was:

“to conduct a bestseller campaign for your book, Real Marriage on the week of January 2, 2012. The bestseller campaign is intended to place Real Marriage on The New York Times bestseller list for the Advice How-To list.”

Aggressive book-marketing campaigns raise ethical questions about the use of church resources and manipulation of bestseller lists.

Speaking of the Je$u$ business, Sarah Palin, and degeneracy:

Leader of Oak Brook religious group resigns amid sex harassment allegations

The head of a controversial, Oak Brook-based religious and home-schooling organization that has held seminars reaching millions has resigned following allegations that he sexually harassed teen girls and women.

The resignation of Bill Gothard, founder and president of the Institute for Basic Life Principles, which also faced a sex scandal decades ago, comes after the board said last month he went on administrative leave as it completes a review of the allegations.

The resignation from all institute entities follows stories posted on a whistle-blowing website called Recovering Grace from women who alleged they were among Gothard’s victims years ago while working at the Christian organization’s headquarters.

[…]

“Mr. Gothard communicated to the board of directors his desire to follow Matthew 5:23-24 and listen to those who have ‘ought against’ him,” the letter states. “To give his full attention to this objective, Mr. Gothard resigned.”


[…]

Kari Underwood, co-founder of the site, said they have received submissions from dozens of women with stories of alleged sexual misconduct by Gothard. He has not been charged with any crime.

Gothard, well known in conservative circles, has been photographed with former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. Sarah Palin attended one of his seminars while serving as mayor of Wasilla, Ala., according to media reports.

Gothard and the institute have taught that God’s divine authority is passed onto children through their parents and to parents through their church leaders, employers and other authorities. The doctrine essentially places church leaders above parents, said former ATI student Underwood.

[…]

His ATI home education program “uses the teachings of Jesus Christ, given in the Sermon on the Mount, as the primary source for teaching linguistics, law, history, science, and medicine,” the institute’s website states. “This approach makes ATI unique as it builds education on the foundation of faith in Christ and understanding his ways. This equips fathers, mothers, sons and daughters to view every aspect of life from a Biblical perspective.”

The institute faced a major sex scandal in the 1980s, which forced Gothard’s brother, Steve Gothard, to resign as administrative director of what was then called the Institute in Basic Youth Conflicts, since renamed. Steve Gothard was accused of having affairs with several secretaries of the institute, the Sun-Times reported at the time.

Gothard was accused of knowing about the improprieties and failing to take action. At the time of the scandal, he resigned as president for three weeks, but came back.

Catching up on the Bryan college thing:

Bryan College Faculty Vote ‘No Confidence’ in President over Adam and Eve

Bryan College faculty overwhelmingly issued the first no-confidence vote against their president in school history after trustees clarified the creationist nature of the school’s Statement of Belief.

The statement, which all faculty and staff (and some student leaders) must sign, includes a point about human origins, which trustees on Feb. 23 clarified to highlight the historical and particular persons of Adam and Eve.

[…]

The clarification, which highlights the college’s stance toward the Genesis story, reads: “We believe that all humanity is descended from Adam and Eve. They are historical persons created by God in a special formative act, and not from previously existing life forms.”

[…]

Faculty supported the no-confidence vote against President Stephen Livesay 30-2, with six abstentions. At that Feb. 25 gathering, the faculty also voted 38-1 to ask the board of trustees for a one-year moratorium on signing contracts that include the clarification.

A related student government petition was signed by about half the student body, reports World.

[…]

So, nearly all the faculty vote against the administration, and half the student body signs a petition. What does the board do?

The board of trustees responded with a statement affirming Livesay’s leadership. “Bryan College’s desire is to stimulate critical thinking, educating students within the framework of a biblical world and life view,” stated the board. “The Board of Trustees is confident that under Dr. Livesay’s leadership we are achieving that objective. “

Bryan has already lost a few associated professionals in the recent couple of years, including even a noted creationist.

I expect there to be a purge of the unbelievers.

The American fundamentalists are drawing a tighter circle as the rest of society around them moves on.

Dear United States, not everything in the world is about YOU…

Several contributors here wrote diaries about neocon involvement in the events in Ukraine. These diaries share two common misconceptions, and both of these misconceptions are glaringly conspiracy-minded, Americo-centric, and anti-progressive:
1. Everything that happens in the world happens because some force in the US made it happen.
2. Reading a popular article (or several) in the US or (at best) English press makes you an expert on a mad rat’s nest of regional conflicts that predates the US by several centuries.

The whole line of argumentation, that the US is hypocritical, is fallacious.

Reason: we don’t make our choices based on whether we will be hypocrites or not.

Reality on this planet: the strong get their way. Power works. That’s why, in our entertainment this afternoon, Palin was being all neo-con - she and the CPACers want the power rush of thinking they can rule the world.

FBI to investigate disappearance of a Malaysian Airlines jet

latimes.com

WASHINGTON — The FBI is deploying agents and technical experts to assist in investigating the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines jet, based on the American citizenship of three of the passengers aboard the lost flight, a top federal law enforcement official in Washington said Saturday.

“He said that a fourth passenger, whom he described as an infant flying with the three Americans, also may be a U.S citizen.

“This gives us entree” to the case, the official said, speaking confidentially because the FBI investigation is just beginning. “But so far what happened is a mystery.”

Also, 20 of the passengers were employees of a semiconductor firm in the US.

WASHINGTON: A Texas semiconductor firm said Saturday that 20 of its employees were confirmed passengers aboard a missing Malaysia Airlines jet that has abruptly vanished.
Among the Freescale Semiconductor employees aboard Flight MH370 were 12 people from Malaysia and another eight from China, president and CEO Gregg Lowe said.
