Gee! JUST as much as it is to include left-handed people, who
ALSO are in the minority.

President Obama...

...is moderately fair to...

...the homosexual community...

...but needs to do a lot MORE.

But -- KUDOS to him for...

...allowing homosexuals in the military.

That was EXCELLENT -- as NBC Nightly News PROVED last night
in a very well-done segment that made it clear that there has been
nothing but POSITIVE response to that!

On the American Broadcasting Company, a comedy entitled,
"Modern Family," makes mirth of a two homosexuals who have
adopted a child!

Good for them. It's FUN to watch BIGOT like you getting *omelet*
on your faces on ALL fronts!

If you are a normal person who dares make a joke about homo-
sexuals, you are likely to be sued for slander. If you are an employ-
er, the ... law ... will have you pinched between a rock and a hard
place.

GOOD!! The SAME fairness was done on behalf of the blacks, who
ALSO had been discriminated-against by BRAINLESS lowlifes like you.

Now, we have laws that protect the ungodly...

"Ungodly?!?" Since WHEN, in this FREE country, does *anyone*
have to believe in God? And what in the world difference does it
make WHAT any person happens to believe or not believe pertaining
to religion? You TRULY are FAR from being the brightest birthday-
cake candle in the Searchlight Shop!

Judges in the courtrooms are told they can't keep the Ten
Commandments posted publicly because it is an offense to so many!

ACTUALLY, that would be because such a posting would comprise
an UNconstitutional ENDORSEMENT of Judeo-Christianity (9 of the
10 Commandments were repeated in the NEW Testament) on PUBLIC
grounds. HOWEVER -- if those SAME Ten Commandments were to be
displayed on ALL of the nation's PRIVATE lands and buildings, they
would be so abundant that trying to get out of view of them would
be as difficult as it would be to get out of sight of corn in the Iowa
countryside in July! And NO one, including the ACLU, would complain.
And it would be TOTALLY Constitutional! But the BUTTINSKYINSH
RRR Cultists are too bone-DUMB to be able to comprehend something
as OBVIOUS as that!

Oh say it isn't true! We are living in the shadow of the Beast upon
which the harlot has seated herself!

ROTFL!!! You are FUNNIER than hell !!

Biblical references flushed. You need to be aware that
about ONE-FOURTH of Americans are NOT Christians, and
to them, the Bible is *meaningless*, and they owe it abso-
lutely NOTHING!

BTW... I am a FAIR-minded and NON-obtrusive Christian.

Try reading THIS. You might actually LEARN something! ---

Employers and Government today are forced to protect the
rights of the...

...ALL people, EQUALLY -- except that they still need to
pass ENDA (Employment Non-Discrimination Act), reinstate the
Fairness Doctrine for the media, and END that hateful and irra-
tional EXCLUSION of same-sex couples from marriage in ALL 50
states!

In a land where men boast of Pride and Freedom...

..FAIRNESS should prevail. And I can GUARANTEE you that
there are enough egalitarians like me working to accomplish that,
that it WILL soon be the case!

We continue to...

...be SENSIBLE enough to regard sex to be as much (and actually
much MORE!) for RECreation than for...

...procreation.

[The] increasing numbers [of egalitarians]...

...ensure that America WILL *soon* become a Bigotry-FREE Zone!

Should cloning replace sex?

THAT'LL **never** happen!! Sex is the world's GREATES and
FAVORITE form of recreation!! But it is very PROBABLE that human
cloning WILL soon be a reality, and that it will JOIN the ranks of the
many other ways that people who choose to -- gay OR straight --
can have kids. Such as surrogate mothers, IVF, artificial insemination,
etc.

The freedoms that we have in America have become the very
source of our...

GREATNESS as a nation. And the envy of much of the rest
of the world, *except* for the even FREER and more-advanced
countries in Northern Europe. And Canada!! WE still need to get
RID of the last vestiges of Puritanical bigotry and prudishness
that still to varying degrees plague and INFEST the USA.

FORTUNATELY, now that they are *vastly* OUTNUMBERED,
the loathsome and ignorant RRR Cultists are...

...too overwhelmed and too weak to stand against [the] truth.

They have laid down their swords ([bigoted] principles) and have
allowed their enemies...

...i.e., FAIR-minded and SENSIBLE people...

...to invade and march over them.

Rather than recognizing that homsexuality...

...is every bit as NORMAL as heterosexuality is, they KNOW
that...

they were born that way!

For example... THOUGHT QUESTION: At what age did *you*
CHOOSE to be heterosexual? It's NO different for the gays.
Just like the straights, they all were BORN either gay or bisexual.
ALL sexual orientations are variations of NORMALCY.

What was the point of Jesus' sacrifice?

To forgive us for ACTUAL sins, and to grant eternal life to all
who believe in Him.

Screw the ACLU.

Why the remark against the ACLU?

No, no, my friends. I subscribe to the Founding Fathers' idea that
the government will not ESTABLISH a national religion, "Congress shall
make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof..." The ACLU will dump all over a school
district for invocations during a graduation ceremony (attempting to
stifle the "free exercise thereof") but doesn't have the gonads to
attack Congress or the Supreme Court when they open their official
sessions with a prayer. And because Christmas is the celebration of
the birth of Jesus, it bothers the ACLU to be reminded of that fact.
They're not interested in protecting Americans' rights; they're only
interested in their own agendas.

I somehow think that "Dr. Jean Tant" is some kind of dirty sexual
reference, although just exactly what it is escapes or eludes me.

That's my opinion, and I approve this message.
================================

We've got a semantics/grammar problem here, Jerry.

The word "establishment" can be taken two ways. You take it to mean a
gerundive form, "the act of establishing something". However,
"establishment" is most commonly used as a noun form, "something that has
been established" as in "I created/built/own/run this here establishment,
and I'm telling you to leave it now."

The former has a much more limited scope than the latter. Using the
former, it is clear that Congress cannot do anything to create, or aid and
abet in the creating, of any particular form of religion. However, a
strict reading of that interpretation means that once a religion has been
"established," there is no prohibition (specific or implied) against aiding
and abetting it, even to the exclusion of other "established" religions.

But using the latter interpretation covers not only the above situation
(the "act of establishing") but also aiding and abetting any already
"established" religion. It does not seem logical that the Founding Fathers
intended only to prohibit the former but allow the government to create
laws and spend money that favors one established religion over the other -
or even designate an *already established* religion as the official state
religion.

As to the ACLU, did you even bother to watch the link? The author
delivered a calm, factual refutation of the Fox canards regarding ACLU and
Christmas. If you have an equally factual refutation of their refutation,
now is the time to pony up with facts and not just the warped descriptions
and opinions of professional demagogues like O'Reilly and Limbaugh.

Viagra and Cialis! When I was a kid we had some great stuff that was a
combination of Viagra + Cialis. Shorten the names, replace the "+" with a
look-alike "t" and you get Vi-t-alis. I put some on my brush cut and it
stood right up. And the girls used to love it too!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Vitalis is still available. My dad always put some in his hair over
all these years, and when he went to the nursing home this year, I
went out to Walgreens and got him some to have for his use at the old
folks home. Brylcream too (they even make a special variety for
silvery-haired folks).
