How Appropriate

ATLANTA - Georgia’s Supreme Court on Friday ordered the release of a young man who has been imprisoned for more than two years for having consensual oral sex with another teenager.  The court ruled 4-3 that Genarlow Wilson’s 10-year sentence was cruel and unusual punishment.   Wilson’s lawyer, B.J. Bernstein, said she expected Wilson would be released Friday afternoon from the Al Burruss Correctional Training Center in Forsyth.

Brian De Palma Sucks

De Palma's film, "Redacted," is based on the true story of a group of U.S. soldiers who raped and killed a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and murdered members of her family. It has stunned audiences for its shocking images and rattled American conservative commentators before its U.S. opening next month.

[Ed says: WTF? This only rattles Conservative commentators.? Are Liberals unfazed by such brutality?]

The film's distributor, Magnolia Pictures, ordered the faces of dead Iraqis shown in a montage of photographs at the end of the film be blacked out.

De Palma said he expected the images in "Redacted" to stir U.S. public debate about the conduct of American soldiers. Abeer Qasim Hamza al-Janabi was gang-raped, killed and burned by U.S. troops in Mahmudiya, south of Baghdad, in March 2006. Her parents and another family member were also killed.

He said the film provided a realistic portrait of U.S. troops…

De Palma, who looked at the atrocities of conflict in the 1989 film "Casualties of War," which also centers on the rape of a young girl by U.S. soldiers…

The U.S. invasion of Iraq was "clearly a mistake," he said, that was perpetuated by "defense contractors, big corporations of America" profiting from the war.

"How many billions of dollars are those companies making? And who gets more famous than ever? The media. There is nothing like a war to fill the airwaves 24 hours a day," he said.

There is also nothing like a war to provide material to disturbed movie producers obsessed with rape. This jerk thinks it is typical of our military of our soldiers to rape innocents, and that it makes good for compelling movies.

Here is the problem. This is not typical and it is not tolerated. Here is the prosecutorial response to the incident;

Specialist James Barker was sentenced to 90 years.
Sgt. Paul Cortez was sentenced to 100 years in prison
Pfc. Spielman was sentenced to 110 years in prison
Steven Green is charged with rape and murder. Federal prosecutors announced they will be seeking the death penalty for Green.

If De Palma has an objection to war profiteering, he should make a movie critical of the Governmental big wigs, not the boots on the ground soldiers. Why make a movie about an band of criminal soldiers and claim that to be the norm?

Middle School to Dispense Birth Control Pills

Should little girls in 6^th grade be receiving birth control pills from their school?  Should parents be notified if so?  Are American public schools infringing on a parents right to raise a child according to the parents own beliefs system and moral values?    

 

The most interesting thing I see in this story is that 5 kids admitted to having sexual intercourse at King.  Is the school board’s decision a total overreaction to a very small minority of students having sex?  Is the overreaction an intentional assault on family values?

PORTLAND, Maine - After an outbreak of pregnancies among middle school girls, education officials in this city have decided to allow one school's health center to make birth control pills available to girls as young as 11.

King Middle School will become the first middle school in Maine to make a full range of contraception available, including birth control pills, patches and condoms. There are no national figures on how many middle schools provide such services. Most middle schoolers range in age from 11 to 13.

"It's very rare that middle schools do this," said Divya Mohan, a spokeswoman for the National Assembly on School-Based Health Care.

Portland's three middle schools reported 17 pregnancies during the last four years, not counting miscarriages or terminated pregnancies that weren't reported to the school nurse.

The Portland School Committee approved the plan, offered by city health officials, on a 7-2 vote Wednesday night. Whether the prescriptions would be offered this school year or next wasn't immediately clear.

King is the only one of the three schools with a health center, primarily because it has more students who get free or reduced-price lunch, said Lisa Belanger, who oversees Portland's student health centers.

Five of the 134 students who visited King's health center during the 2006-07 school year reported having sexual intercourse, said Amanda Rowe, lead nurse in Portland's school health centers.

Funny Work Commercial

San Fransiko values and the agressive homosexual agenda

Don't believe it when they say they just want equal rights. A significant part of the homosexual rights activists will not be happy unless they destroy what the majority of Americans accept as traditional values.

The pictures on this link are shocking, but just like wathcing an Al Quaeda decapitation video, you need to see this once to understand what we are up against. This is an event sponsored by the city of SF and Miller beer.

now comes the kicker: 'Schwarzenegger signs law outlawing terms perceived as negative to 'gays'
"Mom and Dad" as well as "husband and wife" have been banned from California schools under a bill signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who with his signature also ordered public schools to allow boys to use girls restrooms and locker rooms, and vice versa, if they choose. The bills signed by Schwarzenegger include SB777, which bans anything in public schools that could be interpreted as negative toward homosexuality, bisexuality and other alternative lifestyle choices.

There are no similar protections for students with traditional or conservative lifestyles and beliefs, however.
"SB 777 will result in reverse discrimination against students with religious and traditional family values," said Meredith Turney, legislative liaison for Capitol Resource Institute. "These students have lost their voice as the direct result of Gov. Schwarzenegger's unbelievable decision. The terms 'mom and dad' or 'husband and wife' could promote discrimination against homosexuals if a same-sex couple is not also featured.

Value of Dollar

I am frightened by US monetary policy.  I am no expert but common sense says you can’t just keep printing more to pay for reckless spending.    My wife says I am crazy. 

 

Here is a related  excerpt from a website explaining the top things the media is not telling us:

The de-valuation of the dollar.

According to the U.S. Department of Treasury, since Sept. 2006 the national debt has been increasing by $1.47 billion a day. Our national debt is currently over $9 trillion. For the last two years, the Congress voted to raise the national debt ceiling. They did this to allow the federal government to continue making interest payments on our foreign loans...Basically, so that China and Saudi Arabia would not repossess the country!

It is very easy to blame current energy prices on malevolent Arabs or sky-rocketing home prices on greedy developers. However, we must face the fact that because of runaway spending, our dollar will simply not buy as much as it would a few years ago.

In November 2005, the Federal reserve announced it would no longer publish the M3 money aggregate (the worldwide total U.S. dollar supply). Their press release claimed: "the costs of collecting the underlying data and publishing M3 outweigh the benefits." The announcement received absolutely no coverage from the mainstream news media.

The federal government is printing up money at unprecedented rates just to keep up with Bush's spending habits. The unconscionable behavior is now de-valuing our currency and it will eventually spell disaster for all Americans.

My Letter To Senator Boxer

In response to Michelle Malkin's post,  I wrote my senator.

Senator Boxer,

 

I find your proposed amendment 3246 to HR 3093 offensive.

 

Illegal immigration is the single most important issue facing the United States Congress at this time.  Our country's governmental and private services such as schools, prisons, and hospitals, are stretched to the limit by a decades old policy of not enforcing our immigration laws.

 

Your amendment seeking to limit the enforcement of our laws during the census is contrary to the public's desire to have our immigration laws enforced and our border secured.  Only after we deal with illegal immigration will we be able to ascertain the the real state of the union and only then can we address other critical issues, including determining the desired legal immigration policies of this country. 

 

I am telling everyone I know that you are currently working to "limit immigration enforcement efforts".  I beleive public opinion is against you on this one.

 

Protect this country.  Secure our borders.  Enforce our laws.

Original Intent of 1st Amendment Religion Clauses

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

 

The government cannot force you to practice a specific religion like they did in England, nor can the Government establish a religion itself.   The Constitution guarantees that people in this country have a freedom to practice relgion on their own terms without Government interference.  Please note the distinciton between this purpose and the absolute banishment of all religion from our culture and government.  "Separation fo Church and State" is a Constitutional invention that is now being used to suprress the very relgiosity that the 1st amendment was intended to protect.

 

Don't let buzzwords and popular interpretation of the modern day trick you into accepting the death of religious values in our culture.  We as a people are free to express our values and relgious beliefs, including celebrating long-standing traditional holidays.
