Another piece of evidence that Jeff is a communist spy/plant in the SCV, there is no mention of the Dodger loss last night…:-) !
Oh I’m anguished about the loss and I’m writing an LTE about it right now
worries that students will have to learn about gay Americans the same way they learn about black Americans
It’s not a worry, it will happen. My wife taught here in Santa Clarita for five years or so before leaving to stay-at-home with our kids and there was already an agenda among the more “progressive” administrator types to find ways to slowly introduce pro-homosexual ideologies in inconspicuous ways to children as young as 3rd graders.
Gay & black Americans exist. Ergo students should learn about them.
Ferry’s one page ad reminds me of the mailers he sent out on behalf of Laurie Ender. He knowingly/”unknowingly” breaks the rules, and then when he’s called on it says little more than “oops.”
ask any gays, and they will tell you they learned how to be gay in elementary school, that’s where we stop it. If you don’t tell them that it can go there, then they won’t crush on other dudes.
Gay & black Americans exist. Ergo students should learn about them
Gay and black Americans exist and students should certainly learn about them, but learned in their true contexts. Ergo, gay “uber-rights” movement being hoisted upon our society is not to be equated with the civil rights movement of the 1960s.
I agree with IHeart. Oops doesn’t cut it for a public official in my book.
One of these days, Frank will be caught doing something much more serious (like being caught taking money or tapping his shoes in a bathroom stall).
I just want to say Jeff thanks for taking the time for bringing these daily briefs back! Love the info and the commentary, always livens up my mornings!
“ask any gays, and they will tell you they learned how to be gay in elementary school, that’s where we stop it. If you don’t tell them that it can go there, then they won’t crush on other dudes.”
This is either tongue-in-cheek or one of the most ignorant claims I have ever read here.
you miss all the jokes, son
Fred,
What makes you think that the addition of the ‘under God’ religious affirmation in the pledge (done in 1954 during the McCarty era) isn’t a ‘pro-religion ideology’ being thrust onto the same kids?
And why is being ‘progressive’ a bad thing? If we didn’t have progressives, we’d probably still be burning people at the state for being ‘different’ . . . gay people exist whether religious people want to believe it or not.
v-town og,
I have to agree with spineflower2 regarding your ‘anti-gay’ remark.
I’ve yet to find a gay person who didn’t know they were gay from the ‘get go’.
Likewise, it’s usually strong willed religious Christian conservatives that want people to believe as you state that being gay is ‘learned’ when I’ve never seen any evidence to support that other than from the same SWCCs.
You can state your religious beliefs here but you should disclaimer them as such. Reality is a different thing.
v-town og,
And joking about gay kids must be seen in the light that doing so is still a form of character assassination . . . with the consequences ending in death for many teens who are victimized by such ‘joking’.
I don’t think it funny at all especially coming from an adult.
LA County’s brochure was very non-prejudicial about the vote. There was no advocacy, just the facts the the options as stated in the ballot. Then it covered a lot of County services, most of which would be 100% unaffected by the choice.
indy,
zero sense of humor! I was making fun of the people going buc wild Milk Day, not the kids. No, my comments don’t kill, but yours can put a man to sleep.
-O.G.
What makes you think that the addition of the ‘under God’ religious affirmation in the pledge (done in 1954 during the McCarty era) isn’t a ‘pro-religion ideology’ being thrust onto the same kids?
It is, that is why it should be removed. I, as a hard core fundy evangelical, don’t like it.
And why is being ‘progressive’ a bad thing? If we didn’t have progressives, we’d probably still be burning people at the state for being ‘different’ . . . gay people exist whether religious people want to believe it or not.
Progressive is a great thing, as long as you are progressive with the right ideas. “Progressive” now a days means irrational elitist leftism. That’s a bad thing.
And I acknowledge that gay people exist. It’s not that I think they are make believe, like global warming or anything. I just call the lifestyle for what it is: self-destructive.
v-town og,
Religious conservatives like yourself think making ‘fun’ of people is funny . . . I don’t share your humor especially when it involves young people at risk.
Spreading religious myths put forth as comedy isn’t productive and can be outright dangerous to the young people involved.
Fred,
You’ve covered a lot of ground including most of the current RNC talking points about progressive including global warming.
And saying progressives are ‘irrational elitist’ considering the conservative spokespersons like Rush, Sean, Glenn, and Mark put forth everyday is laughable . . .
In any event, I’ve known gay people for 4 decades, some very successful including top executives and policeman. That’s self destructive? Maybe from a religious conservative point of view but not from a progressive that ‘sees reality’ beyond religious ideology.
indy, wow dude, OK then.
Read back some, I think you have your pieces mixed up.
