MEDINA VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL CONGREGATION

Image
Angela Hildebrand an 18 year old Valedictorian from Medina Valley High School has faced resistance regarding her desire to express her Christian beliefs in her valedictorian speech. The school district has also faced a lawsuit by Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Initially the federal courts stated Ms. Hildebrand could not express her Christian views. A few days later this judgment was overturned. The Conservative Christian Right and their radio supporters hailed this as a victory over the Liberal Atheist Left. I had the great fortune to be listening to WOAI's Clear Channel show hosted by Joe Paags. He was gloating Ms. Hildebrand had "earned the right to say what she wants". This was a common sentiment among Christian Right Wingers. Many feeling it was un-American and violated Ms. Hildebrand's right to free speech. I am sure the Christian right wing free speech advocates would have had a very different view of Ms. Hildebrand's right ...

JUNK TOUCHING

The TSA is violating civil liberties in order to perform security searches at the airport. So this is the complaint by the conservative right. We could stop the intrusion by our government and have the searches cease. Here is where it gets hairy. I find falling 30,000 feet in a fiery ball of twisted metal to be a greater violation of my civil liberties. I know Obama has forced these intrusive searches on us. Well, not actually. Such searches were enacted by the Bush administration immediately after 9/11. I know it has been over 9 years now but remember if you can the towers collapsing and the US citizens who had their civil liberties violated by terrorists flying planes into the towers. Yeah, remember now? People are complaining the pat downs and scans go to far. I hear their complaint. Yet I am concerned the searches are not thorough enough. I vividly remember, during my prison term, some ingenious convicts smuggling drugs into the prison in their rectums. I am not intimately familia...

BRISTOL PALIN AND THE SITUATION

As a result of unprotected sex. That's right, she had sex! Did some of you idiots think she was the virgin who had given birth to the second coming. Do we not remember this fact? The conservative right are truly idiots or have a shrewd understanding of the American public. Regrettably, I believe it is the latter. In general the American public are idiots. This is evidenced by the fact every time a politician states a political opponent is underestimating the intelligence of the American public these idiots reveal a toothless smile and mumble under their food-stuffed mouth "You're fuckin ' A right buddy!". Which is then followed by a swig of beer they share with their huntin ' dog. Bristol Palin is promoting abstinence in a PSA ! Next up Catholic Prie...

THE DEATH OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

I am not attempting to kick someone when they are down but I am attempting to introduce rational thought into a discussion which is becoming more irrational by the moment. The article below outlines the suicide of four teenagers who lived in the same community. Each teenager supposedly succumbed to the temptation of suicide at the hand(s) of a cyber-bully(s). These suicides are a needless tragedy but are not the result of cyber-bulllying and are most definitely not the fault of the school or educators involved with these children. The responsibility for these suicides fall at the feet of the parents and the children themselves. Poor parenting and poor role models are the culprits in these suicides. Some of the parents are attempting to blame the school and specific educators for the death of their children. It is not the responsibility of the school or the educators to raise others children or serve as their bodyguard. This is the task of the parents. I will take a closer look at each ...

THE SEGWAY REVOLT!

Image
It was just a matter of time. Much like the computer in the movie, I Robot, the Segway was not going to be belittled and enslaved by the humans. In a bold move the leader of the Segway revolt, known as Fred, coerced Segway inventor, James Heselden, into a night time stroll along a river side. Once Fred had gained the trust of Mr. Heselden he playfully suggested some horseplay which resulted in Mr. Heselden being thrown from the dock and into the river. Fred, the Segway, in an attempt to persuade onlookers the actions were an accident quickly plunged himself into the river in a weak attempt to save Mr. Heselden. As it turns out neither Mr. Heselden nor Fred the Segway could swim. Reports are flooding in stating that in many pockets of the world, especially tourist traps, Fred is being hailed as both a hero and martyr in the Segway community. This afternoon in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Paris, London, Tokyo and Sydney numerous Segways have thrown passengers from their...

TIME FOR GOD TO SUIT UP!

Image
The Reverend Terry Jones and his congregation displayed their intestinal fortitude. If you believe you should burn some Quran's then burn 'em. Like most modern day Christians, Jones and his followers proved to be trash talkers. This is exactly why the Muslims are getting all the press around the world. Weak ass 21st century Christians cannot stand up to PUBLIC PRESSURE much less a heavily armed, kidney failing, inordinately tall Muslim. The Muslims, at the EXTREME end, demonstrate more dedication, focus, and commitment than their soft and indecisive Christians counterparts whose last real claim to fame was the burning of witches some four hundred years ago. Today's Christians are mere shadows of their greatest generation forefathers who killed hundreds of thousands in the Crusades. The EXTREME Muslims do not hesitate to strap on a bomb, drive a car packed with explosives into the marketplace or train their children to act as human shields. While Muslim ch...

CHOP OFF DR. LAURA'S FOOT!

Image
Dr. Laura let the world know what every white person in America already knew. Like Lays potato chips, when it comes to the n-word you can't have just one. When the tape was played for Jesse Jackson he took a step back and shrieked "Nigga....please!" Dr. Laura wants to know why white people can't say the word "nigger". Here's why - CAUSE WE HAVE BEEN SAYING IT FOR 4OO YEARS! White people INVENTED the word. Now we want it back! Cause we are pissed that black people took a word created to intimidate and belittle and made it cool and hip. You don't see us whites whining to use the Spanish word "vato". It's not our word and we didn't invent it to dehumanize Mexicans. At this time in history the word "vato" has no value to white Americans, much like the peso. But give us time......this could change. We, white America, are pissed because black people took our lemon and made lemonade. Some of my ignorant and/or racist fell...
