Homosexual Adoption Promoted By Local News (here) in Rochester, New York
Imagine my surprise while watching my 'local' news last night (http://www.wroctv.com/): I saw homosexual adoption promoted right here in Rochester, New York! And the way that it was promoted was clearly quite carefully planned out.
The segment was on how good adoption is. The anchor Keven Doran was speaking of his own adoption and interviewed his own parents, who adopted him. It was wholesome, sweet, encouraging. Then, in promoting the next week's show on the same topic, the anchor said that the show will highlight two homosexual men who had a special "Father's Day."
Why would a news anchor feel the need to promote homosexual marriage? Does he feel that he would have had such a good experience with adoption had homosexuals adopted him?
I called the news anchor and left that question on his voice mail. I also asked him why he feels it is okay to make this decision for children, to put them with homosexuals. It will be interesting to see if he replies, and I won't be shocked if it turns out he is one.
Last night, as I changed the station in disgust, I thought how sad that the anchor who was adopted himself clearly does not consider adoption as important as furthering the homosexual agenda. It truly is amazing how far people will go, and how many ways they will compromise that which is good for something so terribly evil, wicked, and destructive.
This is just another case of mainstream media pushing their anti-God agenda in the spotlight they've obtained. Be careful what and whom you listen to on even your local news. It is obvious that this man cares more about the adult homosexuals than the parentless children being used as toys in a pretend and very perverted "union."
READ THE WHOLE MSNBC STORY...PARIS - Right-winger Nicolas Sarkozy became president of France on Wednesday, officially taking over from his conservative predecessor Jacques Chirac.
Why do politicians have to make their problems everyone else's problems?
New Jersey's governor, John Corzine, breaks the law by speeding and not wearing a seatbelt. Because of his disregard for the law, he ends up in an accident. So of course now he has to use tax payer's money to lecture everyone about his mistake.
Why is he allowed to use Federal money to lecture everyone about his mistake?
Please I can't take it. This guy is the biggest A hole. Who wants to listen to a hypocrite who doesn't follow the laws he creates?
It is hard to believe this guy headed one of the largest financial institutions in this country. He is a moron who didn't even have the common sense to have his driver do the speed limit on his way home from the hospital. The state is on the verge of bankruptcy and he still doesn't reduce spending or enact ethics reforms. He wonders why the states revenue estimates are down but he keeps taxing us all to death.
The really bad thing is that he came from fairly humble beginnings. He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. I guess once he put on his shoes and got off the farm, he forgot life as normal people know it.
Perhaps President Bush should become the madman which some perceive him to be...In the last months of his presidency he should hold Iran and Syria responsible for all violence within Iraq and respond militarily tenfold within the borders of both countries (Iran & Syria).... Why do we refuse to do what we know works?
He needs to fly off the handle and become a little bit less predictable.
this business of "keeping inside of the boarders" is the main problem that we are in some of these messes that we are in now.
in Korea we stayed out of china "even though it was a staging ground for the north korean military".
in viet nam we were supposed to stay in south viet nam even though most of the problems were comming from north viet nam.
the first time in Iraq we couldn't go down the road to bagdad.
the second time in iraq we musn't go into Iran, syria, ....
the reasoning always given by the apologists is that we might get them mad at us.
i might point out a marine barracks in towelhead land, at least two embassys in cameljock ville. a smoking hole in the ground in downtown new york.......
JUST WHEN ARE WE GOING TO ATTEND TO BUSINESS IN THESE PERIPHERAL AREAS.

remember it's a sin to bring unfired ammunition home from the range.
Did you notice it stated it failed by only 41 votes, not that only 29 voted for it!! What a TWIST/SPIN. Also, in the time D(I)EMS been in control, more money sent on hearings, investigations, trips to home & elsewhere that have nothing to do with their jobs of doing the work of the country, than any before-more investigations than legislature passed, etc. What a great job!!
"Sen. Barack Obama, another leading 2008 prospect, said he would prefer a plan that offers more flexibility but wanted "to send a strong statement to the Iraqi government, the president and my Republican colleagues that it's long past time to change course."
Unfortunately Senator B. Hussein Obama doesn't have a plan to change course. But kudos for bringing the subject up Senator B.O. The U.S. would have completely let the Iraq War slip from our minds if you hadn't been there to remind us about it.
So sick of this: Change course? He fired all of the Heads, did a complete 180 on strategy. Why doesn't Obama just say what course of action suits him, then we can ridicule him for his silly idea's. Of course the Dem's aren't required to have idea's, just criticize them
I just heard Chrissie Matthews spewing his disdain for the debate last night with Huckabee's hilarious comment about Edwards's haircut....he said how dare they come in there and have something already scripted just waiting to insert it into place somewhere....besides that it was a very conservative audience they had there....blah blah blah...he was angry, I kid you not.
Contessa Brewer was the talking head at the moment.
Me thinks he is very very very jealous.....
Roared with laughter watching his anger...it was soooo obvious.
He should replace that anger with trying to learn something about how to handle a debate with class...ooops...that leaves him out.
The following excerpt is from a very succinct description of the context of the GWOT. Many conservatives like myself are constantly mindful of these very basic facts, facts that most Americans cannot understand for some reason.
"Was Osama Right?... BY BERNARD LEWIS Wednesday, May 16…
During the Cold War, two things came to be known and generally recognized in the Middle East concerning the two rival superpowers. If you did anything to annoy the Russians, punishment would be swift and dire. If you said or did anything against the Americans, not only would there be no punishment; there might even be some possibility of reward…: "What have we done to offend you? What can we do to put it right?"
A few examples...
… While American policies, institutions and individuals were subject to unremitting criticism and sometimes deadly attack, the Soviets were immune...
…Washington's handling of the Tehran hostage crisis assured the Soviets that they had nothing to fear from the U.S. …
The Muslim willingness to submit to Soviet authority, though widespread, was not unanimous. The Afghan people, who had successfully defied the British Empire in its prime, found a way to resist the Soviet invaders... a group led by a Saudi of Yemeni origin called Osama bin Laden.
…In the Muslim perception there has been, since the time of the Prophet, an ongoing struggle between the two world religions, Christendom and Islam, for the privilege and opportunity to bring salvation to the rest of humankind, removing whatever obstacles there might be in their path...
…As Osama bin Laden explained, in this final phase of the millennial struggle, the world of the unbelievers was divided between two superpowers. The first task was to deal with the more deadly and more dangerous of the two, the Soviet Union. After that, dealing with the pampered and degenerate Americans would be easy.
We in the Western world see the defeat and collapse of the Soviet Union as a Western, more specifically an American, victory in the Cold War. For Osama bin Laden and his followers, it was a Muslim victory in a jihad ...
… Osama bin Laden and his colleagues… expected … dealing with America, would be comparatively simple and easy. This perception was certainly encouraged and so it seemed, confirmed by the American response to a whole series of attacks--on the World Trade Center [1993] … on U.S. troops in Mogadishu in 1993, … in Riyadh in 1995, … embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, on the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000--all of which evoked only angry words, … dispatch of expensive missiles to remote and uninhabited places.
…The response to 9/11, so completely out of accord with previous American practice, came as a shock, and it is noteworthy that there has been no successful attack on American soil since then. The U.S. actions in Afghanistan and in Iraq indicated that there had been a major change in the U.S. ...
More recent developments, and notably the public discourse inside the U.S., are persuading increasing numbers of Islamist radicals that … they need only to press a little harder to achieve final victory. ... If they are right, the consequences--both for Islam and for America--will be deep, wide and lasting.
Welcome to Clown College which took up residence in our Congress after the last election. They're dangerously dysfunctional and playing games with the future of Our Country.
When asked why it has taken 4 years to appoint a "War Czar", Tony Snow responded:
"I DON'T KNOW"
yeah, neither do we and that's the problem. Just another sign of our complete lack of any sort of cohesive strategy. Wing it as we go I suppose, it's not like people's lives are on the line or anything.
Leon, What is a War Czar, anyway? How many have served before this one? Why do you think it is bad that "it took so long" to appoint the first one ever?
The whole concept of a War Czar, similar to a drug czar, is rediculous.
After losing a string of embarrassing votes on the House floor because of procedural maneuvering, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has decided to change the current House Rules to completely shut down the floor to the minority.
The Democratic Leadership is threatening to change the current House Rules regarding the Republican right to the Motion to Recommit or the test of germaneness on the motion to recommit. This would be the first change to the germaneness rule since 1822.
In protest, the House Republicans are going to call procedural motions every half hour.
Thank you very much for this info. I heard Rush mention something about it at the very end of his show and the show went dead before he could finish.
This is absolutely horrendous...they had better do something about this...fast.
On the other hand if the repubs do not make a huge outcry via the television, internet every single day until she is shamed, then I will give up on them.
This is not going to help the dem party in 08 in any way shape or form.
What complete leftists/communists...
I am furious.
If the republicans sit back and take this and do not fight back...when the tables are turned the republicans are always bowing to the pressure from them, they had better learn a lesson from all of the past ten years or so.
We need some very conservative bold leaders....fast!
Dave thanks for the info with the links, one I saved.
I heard about the Bennie Thompson leftist crap, I am fearful of the Fairness Doctrine....people had better wake up...I have a hard time saying leftists anymore...they are beyond this.
Every time I bring up the "Fairness Doctrine" in here, I get jumped by all sides. I don't think people realize the slippery slope we are now approaching as a nation. Everybody scoffed at McCain-Feingold, too, saying Bush wouldn't sign it and even if he did, the SCOTUS would overturn it. Didn't happen.
If the republicans weren't such a bunch of spineless empty-suits, I wouldn't be that concerned right now. However, unless they grow some serious stones they may have no say in '08.
Paul Morin, national commander of the American Legion, decried it as an attempt to "politicize" the day. "Revolting is a kind word for it. It's as inappropriate as a political bumper sticker on an Arlington headstone," Morin wrote on the Legion's Web site. "Edwards is hardly the first politician from either political party to exploit this day, a holiday that was consecrated with the blood of American heroes. But the e-mail makes me sick nonetheless."
I've had it with listening to what Fox's Shepard Smith finds to cluck about every day. I used to like hearing what he had to say...possibly because he's a native of Mississippi, like eye. But, more and more his unscriped comments are goofy in my mind. And, using the word, goofy, is as specific as I'm gonna get. You're outa there, Shep! When you're on the tube, I'll be diving for the remote.
I also quit watching him during Katrina. He acted like he was performing a Greek drama rather than reporting on a news story. Someone should tell Shep that when he tries to become one of the victims, he loses objectivity.
I've been sitting here mentally composing what I'd say. I'm pretty sure he reads emails during the show. So, I'll have to come up with a "catchy" subject line to get him clicking on it.
I nailed him (emailed him) on a story a few weeks back. There was an oil pipeline close to Weatherford, TX that had blown and was on fire. Clearly from the aerial video, it was a pipeline becuase the right-of-way could be seen and there was large diameter pipe laid out on the ground. Seemed to me, all that was needed was to close a gate valve and let it burn it's self out. But, Shep was speculating they'd have to get Red Adair out there to put out, what in his mind was, this oil well fire and, Oh, my God!, what affect will this have on fuel market prices the following day.
Nailed him on another sensational comment on a different story a few minutes later . Can't remember what that one was, though. Like I suggested in my post above, he gets these goofy rants going and won't shut the heck up.
Then, too, are the liberal talking points he spouts way too often.
OMG! This is insane! Click here or read story below:

Dunno' why it should be such a shock. In the 80's, the House had implimented a "Gag Rule" of sorts. The minority party (Republican at the time) was not allowed to open any debate, propose any legislation, or make any motion on the House floor, unless they had sponsorship by the majority party -- the Democrats.

yeah, neither do we and that's the problem. Just another sign of our complete lack of any sort of cohesive strategy. Wing it as we go I suppose, it's not like people's lives are on the line or anything.

May 16, 2007 - 14:53 ET by SouthJersey1953Leon, What is a War Czar, anyway? How many have served before this one? Why do you think it is bad that "it took so long" to appoint the first one ever?
The whole concept of a War Czar, similar to a drug czar, is rediculous.

Thank you very much for this info. I heard Rush mention something about it at the very end of his show and the show went dead before he could finish.
This is absolutely horrendous...they had better do something about this...fast.
On the other hand if the repubs do not make a huge outcry via the television, internet every single day until she is shamed, then I will give up on them.
This is not going to help the dem party in 08 in any way shape or form.
What complete leftists/communists...
I am furious.
If the republicans sit back and take this and do not fight back...when the tables are turned the republicans are always bowing to the pressure from them, they had better learn a lesson from all of the past ten years or so.
We need some very conservative bold leaders....fast!

May 16, 2007 - 16:02 ET by Dave Rfc,
Looks like Nancy Pelussolini has finally lost it and revealed her true colors.
Will the republicans now grow a spine, or, like they usually do just crawl off, whimpering like chastised puppies?
Pelussolini I love that Dave.

May 16, 2007 - 16:34 ET by Dave Rbt,
Every time I bring up the "Fairness Doctrine" in here, I get jumped by all sides. I don't think people realize the slippery slope we are now approaching as a nation. Everybody scoffed at McCain-Feingold, too, saying Bush wouldn't sign it and even if he did, the SCOTUS would overturn it. Didn't happen.
If the republicans weren't such a bunch of spineless empty-suits, I wouldn't be that concerned right now. However, unless they grow some serious stones they may have no say in '08.
That would be truly frightening.
Damned scary, if you ask me.

On a side note: Hillary Clinton should be ashamed after Rupert Murdoch sponsored an event for her. She should persuade her fellow Dems to go on Fox.

May 16, 2007 - 14:43 ET by bigtimerI just heard John Edwards wants his supporters along with him to denounce this war on Memorial Day.
I guess it is on his web-site.

May 16, 2007 - 14:56 ET by InsufficientContextPaul Morin, national commander of the American Legion, decried it as an attempt to "politicize" the day. "Revolting is a kind word for it. It's as inappropriate as a political bumper sticker on an Arlington headstone," Morin wrote on the Legion's Web site. "Edwards is hardly the first politician from either political party to exploit this day, a holiday that was consecrated with the blood of American heroes. But the e-mail makes me sick nonetheless."

You're Outa There, Shep
May 16, 2007 - 14:55 ET by SumricaI've had it with listening to what Fox's Shepard Smith finds to cluck about every day. I used to like hearing what he had to say...possibly because he's a native of Mississippi, like eye. But, more and more his unscriped comments are goofy in my mind. And, using the word, goofy, is as specific as I'm gonna get. You're outa there, Shep! When you're on the tube, I'll be diving for the remote.

May 16, 2007 - 15:04 ET by bigtimerSo did I RJ...which I guess you may remember.
He and Geraldo almost caused a mass riot...which was their intention as far as I am concerned.
First time I emailed a network too...numerous times.

May 16, 2007 - 15:32 ET by GothampcI also quit watching him during Katrina. He acted like he was performing a Greek drama rather than reporting on a news story. Someone should tell Shep that when he tries to become one of the victims, he loses objectivity.

May 16, 2007 - 16:23 ET by SumricaI've been sitting here mentally composing what I'd say. I'm pretty sure he reads emails during the show. So, I'll have to come up with a "catchy" subject line to get him clicking on it.
I nailed him (emailed him) on a story a few weeks back. There was an oil pipeline close to Weatherford, TX that had blown and was on fire. Clearly from the aerial video, it was a pipeline becuase the right-of-way could be seen and there was large diameter pipe laid out on the ground. Seemed to me, all that was needed was to close a gate valve and let it burn it's self out. But, Shep was speculating they'd have to get Red Adair out there to put out, what in his mind was, this oil well fire and, Oh, my God!, what affect will this have on fuel market prices the following day.
Nailed him on another sensational comment on a different story a few minutes later . Can't remember what that one was, though. Like I suggested in my post above, he gets these goofy rants going and won't shut the heck up.
Then, too, are the liberal talking points he spouts way too often.

Odd
May 16, 2007 - 15:58 ET by Mr. BishopDunno' why it should be such a shock. In the 80's, the House had implimented a "Gag Rule" of sorts. The minority party (Republican at the time) was not allowed to open any debate, propose any legislation, or make any motion on the House floor, unless they had sponsorship by the majority party -- the Democrats.
