Gay and Lesbian Awareness Day (and the like) truly offends the sensibilities of millions of Americans. But those people don't count because those are "religious" sensibilities.

It's time to start removing these Socialist operatives from our schools for this type of behavior. The parents, Taxpayers and students OWN that school!

The Administrators, administrate with the approval of the Taxpayers, Parents and the Students. It's starting to seem that the Socialists, are setting the pace where ever they are without any authority except the authority of their little offices. We better start getting this across straight ourway or the HIWAY!! The Majority Rules!!

I could be wrong here, but I think that we're close to the point where bullets will be fired against "court" "rulings". I could be wrong.

Don't know who said it first,
"Those who stand for nothing will fall for anything!"

That's what the left wants. A world where nobody has enough principle to stand up and say "Hey, that's wrong!"

I think when the people of America wake up and discover that in Philadelphia Scripture is now HATE speech--and
California wants to impliment similar invalid law.I suspect
most of the Blue States -and most Democrats think the govt.
has a duty to "lead" the people by governing what they may think.Hate Crimes legislation is after all Thought Crimes.
And a thing once lost is always more difficult to restore
than upkeep would have been. SO I warn Guns up and eyes forward the enemy has set the ambush and our only hope is
to push on through to the other side.

As of my last reading of the constitution and bill of rights, I could find nowhere, the right not to be offended.

'Gay and Lesbian Awareness Day (and the like) truly offends the sensibilities of millions of Americans. But those people don't count because those are "religious" sensibilities.'

Besides, the ADL thinks those perversions are 'Kool':


ADL TOUTS HOMOSEXUALITY IN HINHGAM [sic] SCHOOLDS [sic]


'The religious organization ADL is active in schools across the state with its message about homosexuality. It labels anyone who disagrees as a "hater."

A religious group is working in Hingham schools and across the state with selectmen, police, legislators and others to promote an outdated, discredited view about the gay gene. Anyone who disagrees with their antiquated theories is called a "hater.".....'

'...The religious organization that is operating in Hingham is a "Jewish" organization known as the Anti-Defamation League.

It has a program called, "No Place for Hate." The only problem with their program is in deciding who is going to define the word "hate." It's a wonderful concept. But almost no one thinks beyond the catchy title.

On their website under "No Place for Hate," they list "sexual orientation" as one of the protected classes for whom they are working.

Many Jews disagree with this group of liberals. But any person who dares to dissent with their belief in the "gay gene," quickly becomes a "hater."

How can this religious group be working in our schools? Are other religious organizations also invited?

Rabbi Daniel Lapin of Toward Tradition says that the head of the ADL, Abe Foxman, is the Jews' "Own Worst Enemy." He told UPI that Foxman's "tireless efforts" to convince American Jews that they are beset by "a phantom of anti-Semitism," when their own experience suggests otherwise, "have helped to confirm many in the belief that being a Jew has to do mainly with being oppressed and hated."

He points out that the ADL "gets paid [by contributors] according to how much anti-Semitism it finds." It's also obvious that if ADL can add homosexuals to the list of people they "protect," they can get even more money flowing in for Mr. Foxman.....' http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3b362bcd2d0e.htm

The parents, Taxpayers and students OWN that school!

When you really own something, you have the power to decided whether to spend money on it. Indeed, you have the power to decide whether you even have it at all. Not so with the "public" skools. Time to open your eyes -- this is serfdom paid for with the serf's own money. Those taxpayers own nothing.

Also, I need to point out something else here. "The majority" really does not rule, nor should it. As long as you believe that it SHOULD, then you will believe that you ought to roll over and accept whatever you think it wants. But what if the "majority" is no majority at all? (Think WA governor, for example.)

If you are not attending school board meetings and electing school board officials that will not listen to the peoples opinion on building,managing or whatever with your schools,you will lose ownership.

As far as the Majority and the WA state election > The Majority has been heard and the fact that the in the firat two counts of the ballots with a Rossi Win.

The fact that the recount after recount until the Dummo candidate could claim a victory indicates that election officials are either corrupt or incompetent which points to the validity of the true Majority.

A few more thoughts:

'Incredibly enough, we're taking our rich, diverse cultural heritage--some of it dating back 300 years--and throwing it in the trash, all for the sake of not offending some individual or special-interest group that might not like it. '

Our Christian heritage goes back almost 400 years [not counting this history, which is sure to raise some hackles: http://www.blueletterbible.org/tsk_b/Gen/12/2.html ].

Christian heritage
Cape Henry, A Christian Nation
By The 700 Club

CBN.com - - English settlers came to America to spread the gospel.

April 29 marked the anniversary of an event that is central to CBN's ministry today. On that day in 1607 a nation was born when travel-weary Englishmen landed at Cape Henry on the shores of Virginia. There they established the foundation for what would become the most powerful country the world has ever seen.

Act 1, Scene 1 of the drama that was to be the United States unfolded that day at Cape Henry, and the legacy of godliness on American shores was sparked.

From these shores, settlers claimed the day for the glory of Jesus Christ promising the gospel of God's kingdom would go forth to the nations.

+++ America's destiny and purpose were sealed with the cross they erected at Cape Henry. All that would follow in our nation's growth hinged on the single proclamation that THIS LAND BELONGED TO JESUS CHRIST.....' [see http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Psa/Psa002.html#2 ]

[I have a LOT of problems with Pat Robertson, but this was the first entry that came up in my search, and I'm ok with this one.] LINK http://www.cbn.com/spirituallife/BibleStudyAndTheology/Discipleship/Cape_Henry_A_Christian_Nation.asp?option=print


'Recently, the Supreme Court decided to hear two cases, both of which deal with the display of the Ten Commandments on public property. It's hoped that in these cases, the court will clear up the confusion over what can or cannot be placed on the walls of public institutions.' [Hegelian dialect at work. Note: nwo is built 'from the bottom up', frog in the cool water routine. Watch; the Ten Commandments will be 'sacrificed' to the already standing 'Noahide Laws'. Old Khazar trick, agreeing on a religion of common ground, as long as that ground is not The Rock the builders rejected. Hope I'm wrong. If I'm not, you will have seen the whites of their eyes.]

'Although these quotes have been displayed on the court's walls for more than 70 years without any formal complaint, the ADL claims that the Roosevelt quote "marginalizes" non-Christians who come into contact with the courthouse and, thus, needs to be removed.'

Hey, I find the 'Noahide Laws' [Talmudic laws also known as the law of the Pharisees], promulgated by two branches of government and about to be approved by the third [ http://www.adelaideinstitute.org/Beauty/talmud.htm . See also http://nord.twu.net/acl/talmudiclaw.html ], marginalize Christians, non-Jews, and non-'Noachides' [Noachides are basically freemasons], by declaring them second-class citizens worthy of punishment [whipping, etc, and decapitation]. Do you think the ADL or the ACLU cares?

'The Riverside Courthouse and the ADL have now been sued by a local resident who claims that California preservation laws make it a crime to alter a historical site in any way. The Riverside Courthouse was designated a "cultural resource" and a "designated historical site" many years ago. The suit also charges the ADL with engaging in censorship. '

hohoho

I'm offended by bans on things that are offensive. So we should ban banning things that are offensive. Of course, that might offend those who think a ban banning things that are offensive is offensive. So maybe we should ban banning bans of things that are offensive. But then that might offend those who think a ban banning bans of things that are offensive is offensive. Perhaps we should also ban bans of banning bans of things that are offensive...

My head hurts now. I'm offended by my head hurting...

A freind of mine says the majority of American Jews are
practicing th e Rleigion of Liberalism and reject Orthodox Judaism. I tend to agree with my Orthodox Freind.
I too have problems with Pat Robertson ,but as with most
Christians sooner or later they blunder into a truth.
Child prostitutes will burn in Hell -if that is written
in Scripture. ( condition is the Godly judgement call called Repentence. SOmething between the individual and God.Not for you or I to say for certain.) Show me any
passage/verse of Scripture and IF rightly understood I
can gaurentee it is accurate and applicable-problem comes in with our darkened understanding.
