'Gay History' Pushed in Calif. Textbooks: "A Senate committee approved a bill Wednesday that would require California's textbooks to include the contributions of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people to the state and nation's history. "
============
Let's see now. We also should have the contribution that murderers, whores, pedophiles, thieves, and cannibals and other assorted deviates and degenerates have made to the nation and every state's history. After all, humanity is divine and every manifestation of humanity is worthy study and memorializing, isn't it?

But let us not make mention of God or prayer or such like. What does He have to do with anything?

Excite - Sports News: "Bonds hit his 712th homer in San Francisco's 5-3 loss to San Diego on Tuesday, moving him even closer to matching Babe Ruth's total for second place on the career list. "
===========
Yep, he probably has taken drugs. Everyone has known it for some time now, just as we knew that Sosa and Mac were taking drugs. Baseball made a lot of money on those two after the scandal of the strike year.

So why jump on Barry Bonds? Nope, he shouldn't have taken drugs, but who knew what Ruth and Aaron were taking? Ruth drank a lot of booze in his life and probably shortened his life quite some time. It wasn't fair for Aaron to take better care of himself and have so many more games than Ruth. If Ruth had played as long he might have hit 900 homers. Who knows. And what about Mantle? If he had taken care of his legs and his liver he might have hit a bunch more. What does it matter anyway? Put Rose in the Hall of Fame, give him his records. Get off Bonds back and lighten up. Baseball players have never been really respectible anyway, have they? If skateboarders can smoke pot, why not a few steroids for the baseball player? It's their body, isn't it? If a woman can kill her baby to be happier, why cannot Barry have a bit of an edge in the batter's box? Besides, how many pitchers beefed up a little? It's about happiness and self-esteem. Isn't it?

Ex-Sen. Bob Graham: Iran Strikes Could Spark World War III: "In an exclusive interview with NewsMax, Graham warns that the growing crisis in Iran is reaching a boiling point. He says military action by the United States against Iran's nuclear facilities could spark World War III."
=============
That's very good, Ex-senator Graham, but what do you think we are in now? The world was at war when Hitler annexed the Sudetenland following England, France, and Italy's surrender to him at Munich in 1938. Hitler knew it and a lot of smart people knew it, but a bunch of people didn't get up to speed until he attacked Poland and then his ally Russia. What will it take for the great majority of Americans to wake up. Anybody who read Hitler's writings or listened to his speeches knew what he was, and it isn't hard to find out what militant Islam is. What will it take? A nuclear cloud over America somewhere? See some pictures and read some history.

Kerry, Kerry, Quite Contrary!

DRUDGE REPORT FLASH 2006�: "Former presidential candidate John Kerry has come to the defense of a fired CIA officer accused of disclosing classified information to the press.

'I'm glad she told the truth but she's going to obviously -- if she did it, if she did it, suffer the consequences of breaking the law,' Kerry explained to ABC THIS WEEK. "
==================

What can you expect from the moral degenerates who have not repented of the sins of the 60's? Tell the "truth" no matter if it damages national security and harms the nation at war. It worked to get Nixon, didn't it? Stopped the Viet Nam war, resulting in the murder of millions of Vietnamese and Cambodians by the Marxist idols of the Kerryites, didn't it? Didn't apply to Clinton, though, or to Rather or ??? What is the truth anyway--but a means of forwarding a political agenda? But what do these people know about morality, truth, honor, or, yes, patiotism?

Hurrah for the Swift Boaters!! They told the truth about Hippy Kerry, and he didn't like it much, did he? But a person's own sanctimony is hard to see, especially because if it is the result of a person thinking he thinks because he thinks he feels. The same kind of people vote for them. "I feel..." replaces "I think..." But being self-conscious and thinking are not the same thing.

Kerry still feels self-righteous because he betrayed the troops in Viet Nam. "If the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness."

Question, Where are the real democrats who are ready to throw this crowd overboard?

Another Question: Do you think that Contrary Kerry will come to the defense of the Chinese protester who told the truth in the presence of Presdent Bush and the Beloved Leader of Red China? Hmmmm? Don't hold your breath or bet the rent. Truth is truth is truth, I guess, and some truth is ok and other truth is not ok and some truth is lies and some lies is truth.

Excite News: "TEHRAN (Reuters) - President Bush refused on Tuesday to rule out nuclear strikes against Iran if diplomacy fails to curb the Islamic Republic's atomic ambitions."
===========
Of course. Iran needs to know that we might use the bomb. The advantage of nuclear is psychological. No president should ever rule out the use of them. Let the enemy tremble in the knowledge that we might have the courage.

New York Daily News - News & Views Columnists - Richard Cohen: Gore movie puts heat on Bush: "In the meantime, he is a man on a mission. Wherever he goes, he finds time and an audience to deliver his (free) lecture on global warming. It and the film leave no doubt of the peril we face and neither do they leave any doubt that Gore, at last, is a man at home in his role. He is master teacher, pedagogue, know-it-all, smarter than most of us, better informed and, having tried for and failed to gain the presidency, has raised his sights to save the world. We simply cannot afford for Al Gore to lose again. "
========
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. The sky is falling, the sky is..... No, I mean the globe is melting, the ice is melting, the little birds are going to fry, and then all of us will fry. We must elect Gore; he who invented the internet and lived the Love Story. Oh dear Al, please ride to the rescue and save us all from evil Republicans, frying oceans, melting ice caps, and New York falling into to the sea. No, forget the latter. That might be a good thing. [But what about Al Qaeda, Al? Al? Al...?]

Can we simply afford for Al to win?

Townhall.com :: Reviews :: Donkeys misbehavin' - Apr 13, 2006:

"There is a fundamental difference between the two parties: when a Democrat is involved in a scandal, he becomes a national figure for the party, but when a Republican is involved in a scandal it always ends with him resigning in disgrace.

"I highly recommend this book to liberals who want to familiarize themselves better with the party they are associating themselves with, and I also recommend it to conservatives who need to be reminded why they call themselves conservative. This book is especially helpful for young readers not familiar with the historical facts of how far back immorality and corruption really does go on the Left: since the party�s beginning. "
=========
I recommend this book. There is not only a political difference between the two parties, but a basic moral difference.

Ancient Manuscript: Judas Had a Secret: "For 2,000 years Judas has been reviled for betraying Jesus. Now a newly translated ancient document seeks to tell his side of the story."
-------------
The relic worshippers strike again. Just any old rag or scrap of paper found in a waste can may be used to discredit the Bible and give license to man's modern [and ancient] desire to fornicate, lie, murder, defame and hate Christians. Hurrah for the relics! Encase them in gold and genuflect! Stroke your chin and appear wise! Hurrah for the trashcan documents, verified by modern rag-tag scholars! See blog below.

Guardian Unlimited | Science | Discovered: missing link that solves a mystery of evolution: "The find is the first complete evidence of an animal that was on the verge of the transition from water to land. 'The find is a dream come true,' said Ted Daeschler of the Academy of Natural Sciences."
--------------
Yes, indeed. A "dream" come true, the dream of fallen man that Genesis One is not true, that there is no God, that there will be no judgment of the world, that it is all right to fornicate, sodomize, blaspheme, and hate Christians. The dream will prove to be a nightmare, and this fossil will "prove" nothing except the frantic efforts of fallen men to flee from their Creator.

In the Middle Ages the bone-worshippers were in the Roman Church and they genuflected before odds and ends and scraps of bones and relics that constituted proof of their faith. All nonsense, of course. The modern humanists do the same thing, genuflect before scraps of bones, artifacts, and odds and ends and tag ends of old pieces of ragged paper that "prove" to them that the Bible is not reliable and we don't have to pay any attention to it. The modern relic worshippers will be as discredited as the old ones were.

"Dream" come true, indeed. "The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?" --Jer. 23

I have added a link on the right side to "The Third Story." This is a web page of a good friend and ex-student of mine, AmyBeth Larson Barlow. AmyBeth works with young people at risk in the inner city of Denver and her page and blog are worth checking out. God bless you, my good friend!

RGJ.com: 'It's hard to believe it's spring'-Alpine Meadows records most snow in 35 years: "An unending series of March snowstorms pasted the Sierra in white, with one Lake Tahoe ski resort reporting more snowfall than during any other month over the last 35 years."

It is obviously the result of global warming. What else could it be?

Al Qaeda's nuclear option�-�Commentary�-�The Washington Times, America's Newspaper: " What interests bin Laden and Zawahri beyond casualty lists is collateral damage to civil liberties, privacy and the world economy. America, as they see it, would be knocked off its pinnacle. This would be the shot heard around the world and hundreds of millions of either frightened or jubilant Muslims would flock to the Muslim world's black Jolly Roger of white skull and crossbones. "
==============
Yes, indeedy. So the solution? America should willingly abandon the pinnacle, elect Muslims to Congress, Zawahiri as President, and then what??? I guess we could then put rugs on our heads and shoot women on the soccer fields. We need more sheiks.

What happened to "give me liberty, or give me death"?

But Bush is really bad, although Albright said this week that there are no bad guys. Then why the campaign against Bush that has been going on for six years?

This is all so, so ..... French??

FOXNews.com - U.S. & World News - Clerics Call for Christian Convert's Death Despite Western Outrage: " Senior Muslim clerics said Thursday that an Afghan man who converted from Islam to Christianity must be executed and if the government caves into Western pressure and frees him they will incite people to 'pull him into pieces.' "
============
Islam is a peaceloving and gentle religion.

Newsday.com: Clinton vows to block bill criminalizing illegal immigrants: "'It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures,' Clinton said, 'because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself.' "
-------------------
Someone needs to tell Hil to avoid referencing the Scriptures like she would the bird flu. Jesus an illegal alien? the Good Samaritan an illegal alien? Seems like you have revealed that you don't know the Scriptures, New Testament Geography, or Who Jesus is.

FT.com / Asia-Pacific / China - China's competitiveness 'on the decline': "The competitiveness of China's manufacturing industries has suffered serious erosion over the past year, according to one of the world's largest trade sourcing companies."
==========

Of course. China will face two choices, either one of which will be good for the West. 1. loosen the strings of the command economy [communism] and accept more capitalism; this will put more intense pressure to expand democracy and move toward peace with the West. 2. tighten the strings of the command economy in a desperate attempt to become or to stay competitive. Result: less competitive, for communism is never competitive. Collapse.

TheStar.com - How to spot a baby conservative: "Remember the whiny, insecure kid in nursery school, the one who always thought everyone was out to get him, and was always running to the teacher with complaints? Chances are he grew up to be a conservative.
At least, he did if he was one of 95 kids from the Berkeley area that social scientists have been tracking for the last 20 years. The confident, resilient, self-reliant kids mostly grew up to be liberals."
---------------
Yes, probably true. The insecure kid was being pushed around by the self-confident bullies in the class, and developed a distrust for government because the liberal, self-satisfied teacher had been taught by the NEA that rendering justice was evil, so the kid gave up on government and grew up to be a conservative, proud, confident and self-reliant.

On the other hand, the bully became even more bullyish when he found that government would do nothing about his bad behavior and continued to try to push his self-confident, selfish, know-it-all agenda on people, but the conservative kids had grown up and began to push back. The bully then began to whine about conspiracies and right-wing lies and deceit--all behavior that he had learned back in nursery school under the benevolent eye of his liberal, know-it-all teacher who had no standards at all and later seduced a kid in the 7th grade. His/Her [Gender uncertain] confidence was always shattered when she/he was around people who thought that abortion, murder, atheism, sodomy, and confiscatory taxes are evil. That why he/she lives in Berkeley.

He/she also became a whiner about those who believe that it is a waste of tax-payer money to fund such self-serving politically driven studies conducted by pinheads, still trying to justify beating up on the little kid in nursery school.

What else would you expect from Berkeley?

"Block admits in his paper that liberal Berkeley is not representative of the whole country..." Boy, that's an understatement.

The New Yorker: The Talk of the Town: "There is very little doubt that Bush deserves censure, not only for the warrantless wiretapping but also for the many other catastrophes his Administration has generated, including the manipulation of intelligence to justify the Iraq war, the willful failure to heed warnings of what the invasion's aftermath would entail, the sanctioning of torture, and the neglect of �homeland security to say nothing of a set of domestic policies that sacrifice solvency, safety, the environment, and elementary fairness on the altar of enriching the rich in the name of Christian compassion."
========
This is the liar's technique, especially in politics. Tell it enough times and then you can use it as a base for other arguments. But someone needs to tell Hendrik Hertzberg that just 'cause he says it, doesn't make it so.

This is the way it works. You tell a lie; one of your buddies repeats it; your buddies in the news media picks it up, and by nightfall it has become part of the public myth.

But New Yorkers are not known for deep thinking, just for thinking they think deeply.

Excite News: "But Biden, a potential 2008 presidential candidate, found little grounds for agreement with Bush as he criticized the administration's handling of Iraq and preparedness for a potential terrorism strike. The senator said if he had known how incompetent the administration would have been in running the war, he might not have voted for the resolution authorizing the president to use troops in Iraq."
======================

There is so much wrong with Biden's statement that you don't know where to begin with it. It means that unless you know the future, you can't make decisions; and it also means that whatever decision you make you can excuse yourself because of some unknown event in the future. This is why the doctrine of predestination is absolutely necessary for the freedom of the will. No one can be held responsible for his actions if blind luck controls events. If our future is not in the hands of God and everything under His personal control, then we will always have an excuse for our bad choices. Man is the victim of unforeseen events and the bad actions of others. How can I be responsible when others are such jerks? Whatever happens cannot be my fault. Others have screwed up the works. The world is a stinking place.

But then, manliness is the enemy, isn't it? Weinies can always whine about what they didn't know and excuse themselves, if not by blind bad luck, then by the stupidity of others. Blame, blame, blame. It just ain't my fault.

Success is by luck, not by good choices. Failure is victimhood. Whine, whine, whine. Start the sad music for Sen. Joseph Biden and all the wimp who support him.

Sen. John Kerry: N.Y.C., Boston Gone by 2036: "Kerry blamed the Bush administration's environmental policies for the coming destruction of New York and Boston."

The dem-lib-nuts are losing it. How can you think that someone as dumb and ignorant and macho as Dubya can possible be responsible for so much? Now Bush is in charge of global warming.

If Iran gets nuclear bombs you will see some global warming.
