An open letter to the Legislature: To whom that care to be concerned: I am but one citizen member of this great nation, I am but one mere voice, but I am none the less. It is with great discomfort that I expel myself from embittered silence and make known that, you whom presume to speak for me, and for the majority of our nation, are being served notice that with all my power of intellect, and of pride, and of sacrifice, I lay upon thee the intent to resist your actions, and the actions of those that will come...

Folks, look at this site, where I report on something I remember from years ago about Kevin Jennings, and sure enough, it was true. Jennigs isn't just your average run-of-the-mill homopheliac, he's an active particpant in homosexual indoctrination. See for yourself.. This needs to be broadcast everywhere on the Net, someone, FOX, Drudge, the MSM (Laughs to himself) must report on this guy. He's going to be devising curriculum for OUR children.. D-

Ok, if someone asks me how we're going to pay to implement this, I'll smack them. :) The great thing about my plan is that you don't need to be deep on the numbers; just the idea itself is so logically and financially sound that it will make sense to you. First the breakdown: 1. Those 67 and older nothing changes, you get your benefits like nothing changed. 2. Those 57 and older nothing changes, but they can participate in the plan. 3. Those 47 to 57 participate fully, with what I call the reduced risk portfolio; mostly bonds with...

John, say this tonight. "My friends, look, we have a serious problem in America. It's a major problem not just of its own creation, but by the sheer disagreement with how best to satisfy all American's in how to fix it. Illegal immigration has cost American lives, American livelihood's, and perhaps the most costly of all; our sovereignty. My friends, I've been thinking really hard on how best to solve this mess and I think I've come up with the way to best approach the issue" "My friends, during this campaign I have met with a great many American's, people...

"Ok, the bail out is said to be constructed on the fact that there are roughly 5.5 million mortgages that are held as risky notes. So I need someone to calculate this: 1. 5.5 million times $250K (Average mortgage) 2. Minus 15% (50% higher default rate estimated as a result of the risky nature of the loans) 3. Compounded over a 30 years, 360 month period at a rate if 5.5% fixed. How much money is that? Now take the figure, weighed against all the possible risk factors, and what could you do with that money? How about Social Security?...

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Altering a gene in the brain of female worms changed their sexual orientation, researchers said on Thursday, making female worms attracted to other females. The study reinforces the notion that sexual orientation is hard-wired in the brain, said Erik Jorgensen, scientific director of the Brain Institute at the University of Utah. "They look like girls, but act and think like boys," Utah researcher Jamie White, who worked on the study published in the journal Current Biology, said in a statement. Researchers in Jorgensen's lab switched on a gene in female worms that makes the body develop male...

Help Freep this POLL!!!

Hey this guy seems like just a regular guy that wants the top job in 08. Obviously he just started his campaign, but I've been reading his opinions on various issues and he seems to have some great ideas. You can go to space DOT com here to read about his official candidacy. If Jessie the body and Arnie can win, why not this guy? D-

Gay, lesbian, and bisexual people are at particular risk in our society.They are surrounded by images and references that imply the unacceptability of their own feelings and identity. Heterosexuality is simply taken for granted as “the way to be.” Many sexuality education curricula assume all students are heterosexual. When sexual orientations are considered, homosexuality is often the only one examined. All young people benefit from learning about sexual orientation—their own and others.This education helps young people understand not only sexual development and orientation, but also the effect of stereotyping, homophobia, and prejudice on people’s lives. The activities in this section...

Stockholm - A Swedish man who donated his sperm to a lesbian couple must pay child support for the three boys he fathered, the Supreme Court has ruled. The man, now 39, gave his sperm to the couple in the early 1990s. Three sons were born in the years 1992 to 1996. He agreed he would play no role in the boys' upbringing, but signed a document saying he was the father. The women separated and the biological mother demanded that the man pay child support. The man went to the district and appeals courts, but lost. The Supreme Court...

Ok tell me why this won't work... It came to me last night.. What if we recinded the property tax for seniors over the age of 65 that owened their own home? We're looking in most cases of saving them $3 to $4000 a year on average. What it will do is allow Medicare to be a part of the SS pay-out benefit thus eleviating that extra tax burden on the younger crowd. All in all the total benefit payout would be reduced as a whole and the amount needed to be picked up by the local tax-payers would be...

Japanese scientists have unveiled the most human-looking robot yet devised - a "female" android called Repliee Q1. She has flexible silicone for skin rather than hard plastic, and a number of sensors and motors to allow her to turn and react in a human-like manner. She can flutter her eyelids and move her hands like a human. She even appears to breathe. Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro of Osaka University says one day robots could fool us into believing they are human. Repliee Q1 is not like any robot you will have seen before, at least outside of science-fiction movies. She is...

Excerpt -- MIDDLEBROOK, Va. - A small fire and anti-gay graffiti were found Saturday at a church belonging to the United Church of Christ, a denomination that endorsed same-sex marriage last week. The exterior of St. John’s Reformed United Church of Christ also included a message that United Church of Christ members were sinners. A member of the congregation discovered the graffiti when he stopped by to mow the grass. He found a small fire within the sanctuary. The fire was put out in a few minutes, Lt. Tim McCray said.

The research literature on childrearing by homosexual parents is limited. The environment in which children are reared is absolutely critical to their development. Given the current body of research, the American College of Pediatricians believes it is inappropriate, potentially hazardous to children, and dangerously irresponsible to change the age-old prohibition on homosexual parenting, whether by adoption, foster care, or by reproductive manipulation. This position is rooted in the best available science
