Smut Education not working!

The headlines read that STDs have reached a new, all time high. Isn't it time to realize that the sex ed in schools is ineffective. Our system of education has gotten out of hand. By telling students that they have "rights", they are telling them to do anything that they want without consequences. But there are always consequences. In one way or another.

Instead of teaching them about how to have sex, why not try teaching them about having respect for each other. The young men to have respect for themselves and the young women. The young women to have respect for themselves and look to the future they could have without the danger of STDs or pregnancy.

Part of this is due to the fact that teachers are not working to show children how to become effective adults. I think in inner city schools especially, focusing on work, how to apply for a job, responsibilities for taking care of yourself, opportunities for life outside big cities, and such should be looked at. Children raised at risk do not have any kind of self esteem. They are not helped by the school system which should show them ways to break the cycle. It is too bad that they are not taught the skills of parenting so that they will be better equipped to change the system.

The Times Praise of President Bush

I read this article from the times entitled "Three Cheers for the Bush Doctrine" which surprised me. Some actual truth coming from the news media. Finally, someone is saying the truth about him and not denigrating his efforts to bring stability to the middle east. Unfortunately, most of the media cannot see the forest for the trees (or treehugger mentality). They should step back, look at the big picture for what it truly is and not their biased slant on this.

Post election Predictions

WASHINGTON — A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship.

“It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he’s the one who proposed this national security force,” Rep. Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. ”I’m just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may — may not, I hope not — but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism.”

Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military.

“That’s exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it’s exactly what the Soviet Union did,” Broun said. “When he’s proposing to have a national security force that’s answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he’s showing me signs of being Marxist.”

Obama’s comments about a national security force came during a speech in Colorado about building a new civil service corps. Among other things, he called for expanding the nation’s foreign service and doubling the size of the Peace Corps “to renew our diplomacy.”

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,” Obama said in July. “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

Broun said he also believes Obama likely will move to ban gun ownership if he does build a national police force.

Obama has said he respects the Second Amendment right to bear arms and favors “common sense” gun laws. Gun rights advocates interpret that as meaning he’ll at least enact curbs on ownership of assault weapons and concealed weapons. As an Illinois state lawmaker, Obama supported a ban on semiautomatic weapons and tighter restrictions on firearms generally.

“We can’t be lulled into complacency,” Broun said. “You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I’m not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I’m saying is there is the potential.”

Obama’s transition office did not respond immediately to Broun’s remarks.

The Ten Cannots

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatreds.
You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man’s initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
~William J. H. Boetcker, 1916

Obviously this is something that Mr. O has failed to learn. Rather than saying men though, he should say people. He is doing everything on this list.

Fear of the Obama Unknown

I went to see my therapist yesterday. I told her how much the election was bothering me. I finally nailed it down to the unknown. There is so much about Obama that we don't know. We do not know if he is a natural born citizen. We don't know anything about his life, his education, his friends (except the corrupt terrorists and the reverend who damns AMERICA. We just do not know.

Every other election we have had choices of 2 people who are known. We can see their life and their character. But Obama has not permitted us to see anything about him. We know he was a druggie in his youth. We know he hung around terrorists and for the last 20 years he went to a black racist church. He gives us nothing but unknown policies and I am already seeing censorhip of the press. Anyone who asks questions of a difficult nature are closed down.

To me this is scary. It is terrifying in fact. We are facing changes to a widespread degree of our life. If Obama wins, there will be riots in the street. If Obama loses, there will be riots in the street.

I want to start a business but what will happen if I do. His speaking efforts tell me that he will want to tax me so much that there will be nothing left for profit. If a business cannot make a profit, it will not be in business very long.

Tom Brokaw red faced with anger

As I was getting ready for my morning, I flipped on the TV and Meet the Press was on with Tom Brokaw and Senator John McCain was on. It appeared to me that there was the usual attack on the Senator who answered reasonably and with clarity of the issues. Tom cited NBC polls which were unflattering of the Senator and said, "what do you think of that." When John McCain stated that he didn't believe that these polls were accurate Tom got red faced and looked very angry.

Attack and quiet calm answer with facts and policy. Tom attacked, attacked and attacked, looking like a pugnacious fighter. John McCain answered calmly, without getting excited, with answers which were logical and showed clear thinking. Tom just couldn't get his goat no matter how he tried.

I think it is time for Tom to retire. He has lost his objectivity and his ability to correctly and accurately report the news. I wonder what is going to happen IF Obuma wins and the mainstream media find that they have been played by people who have a much different agenda and will be censoring the press like they did in Florida, when something is stated that is not favorable.

I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA HAS BEEN PLAYED FOR FOOLS AND WILL REGRET THEIR BIASED ATTACK ON THE GOP CANDIDATES.
