Here Comes the Left

Emboldened by the Democratic victory earlier this month, the far-left is rising like Dracula at midnight. Just days after the vote, the San Francisco Board of Education voted to ban Junior ROTC in the city's high schools, tossing more than 1,600 students out of those clubs. The Massachusetts legislature refused to allow a vote on gay marriage, even though more than 170,000 Bay State voters signed a petition demanding to be heard on the subject, and a Vermont press group honored Judge Edward Cashman, the guy who sentenced a brutal child molester to 60 days in jail.

Don't kid yourself; while the majority of Democrats are moderate, there is a fanatical subdivision of the party that is off-the-wall secular-progressive (S-P) and bent on radically changing America.

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom told the press he was glad the Board of Education waited until after the election because "cheap-shot artists like O'Reilly and Fox would have exploited (the vote)."

Not exploited, mayor, reported. I coined the term "San Francisco values" and well understand they have little to do with democracy. How nutty is the San Francisco Board of Ed? We're fighting a lethal worldwide terror movement and these people are telling high school students the U.S. military is bad, that's how nutty.

By the way, the ACLU is MIA in the JROTC controversy. Can you imagine what would have happened if the Board of Ed had banned a gay high school club? S.F. values strike again.

The far-left in Massachusetts is almost as bad. Gay marriage was imposed in the Commonwealth by three judges who found a loophole in the state Constitution. Marriage was not expressly defined as between a man and a woman. Presto, traditional marriage has company.

But my question is this: If marriage is a Constitutional right, which it is not, why can't polygamists get legal? How about triads? Why can't you marry your mom?

If one alternative lifestyle, homosexuality, is granted license to marry, you have to include other alternative lifestyles as well. That's equal protection under the law, is it not?

But the secular-progressive movement doesn't care about the Constitution. It wants a brand new America where the people don't call the shotsâ??the "enlightened" minority sets the agenda.

So get ready for more of this kind of thing. The state of Vermont has already left the building. It elected Bernie Sanders, a self-proclaimed socialist, as junior Senator. Compared to Sanders, Patrick Leahy, the other Vermont Senator, is Dick Cheney.

By the way, in case you went to public school, a socialist is someone who believes the government has a right to seize private property and do whatever it wants with it. Apparently, Vermonters are down with that, as well as with judges who give child predators the same amount of jail time as bar brawlers. This is the first secular-progressive state to drop all pretense and declare itself Havana-friendly. Wait, that might not be fair. Even Fidel harshly punishes child rapists.

If you think I'm exaggerating, you're wrong. The far-left feels liberated, and it sees daylight. Expect these people to make a strong power run, led by S-P mom Nancy Pelosi, the new Speaker of the House.

Let's recap: No tolerance for the military, no voting on controversial issues, and let's ease up on those adults sexually brutalizing children. Welcome to the land of the secular-progressive. Have a nice day.

Teaching Thanksgiving from a different perspective
POSTED: 10:23 a.m. EST, November 22, 2006
Adjust font size:
LONG BEACH, California (AP) -- Teacher Bill Morgan walks into his third-grade class wearing a black Pilgrim hat made of construction paper and begins snatching up pencils, backpacks and glue sticks from his pupils. He tells them the items now belong to him because he "discovered" them.

The reaction is exactly what Morgan expects: The kids get angry and want their things back.

Morgan is among elementary school teachers who have ditched the traditional Thanksgiving lesson, in which children dress up like Indians and Pilgrims and act out a romanticized version of their first meetings.

He has replaced it with a more realistic look at the complex relationship between Indians and white settlers.

Morgan said he still wants his pupils at Cleveland Elementary School in San Francisco to celebrate Thanksgiving. But "what I am trying to portray is a different point of view."

Others see Morgan and teachers like him as too extreme.

"I think that is very sad," said Janice Shaw Crouse, a former college dean and public high school teacher and now a spokeswoman for Concerned Women for America, a conservative organization. "He is teaching his students to hate their country. That is a very distorted view of history, a distorted view of Thanksgiving."

Even American Indians are divided on how to approach a holiday that some believe symbolizes the start of a hostile takeover of their lands.

Chuck Narcho, a member of the Maricopa and Tohono O'odham tribes who works as a substitute teacher in Los Angeles, said younger children should not be burdened with all the gory details of American history.

"If you are going to teach, you need to keep it positive," he said. "They can learn about the truths when they grow up. Caring, sharing and giving -- that is what was originally intended."

Adam McMullin, a member of the Seminole tribe of Oklahoma and a spokesman for the National Congress of American Indians, said schoolchildren should get an accurate historical account.

"You can't just throw an Indian costume on a child," he said. "That stuff is not taken lightly. That's where educators need to be very careful."

Becky Wyatt, a teacher at Kettering Elementary School in Long Beach, decided to alter the costumes for the annual Thanksgiving play a few years ago after local Indians spoke out against students wearing feathers, which are sacred in their culture. Now children wear simple headbands.

"We have many mixed cultures in Long Beach, so we try to be sensitive," Wyatt said. "What you teach little children is important."

Laverne Villalobos, a member of the Omaha tribe in Nebraska who now lives in the coastal town of Pacifica near San Francisco, considers Thanksgiving a day of mourning.

She went before the school board last week and asked for a ban on Thanksgiving re-enactments and students dressing up as Indians. She also complained about November's lunch menu that pictured a caricature of an Indian boy.

All of these people were voted into office If the people don't like they'll vote the lunies out. The reason he democrats the house and senate is the American people thought hell things can't get any worse and at least there not republicans. The real problem is that most of the House and Senate are payed talking pieces and the democrat if they haven't sold their soul yet are bound to do so and I'll be the first to tell you that Nancy Pelosi is fucking worthless.

See Torog, they are so dumb they just attack the messenger... if it was Wolf Blitzer it would be ok Though.....

Wolf should be tried for sedition.....like many on here

[delusionsofNORMALity]

it used to frighten me when i found common ground with people like o'reilly and limbaugh, but i'm kind of getting used to it.

the lunatic fringe always has a few good points to make, mixed in with their rantings and ravings, and the lunatic fringe seems to be all we have left.
of course; no sane person would expect the country to go completely unprotected and no one but a fool could think that an 8 year old should be expected to grasp the savagery inherent in the human condition. but the lunatic fringe seems to be all we have left. sanity has gone the way of the dodo and the crazies are running the asylum.

don't get me wrong. though they do have valid points to make, the fascism of the right leaves me as cold as the ivory tower cluelessness of the left.

with their "baby-sitters to the world" mentality, the liberals have become just as dangerous as their counter-parts on the right. saving us from ourselves seems to be the mantra of the year and i'm sick of being told how the "right-thinking" political intelligencia can make the world a "better place", filled with happiness and puppy-dogs for everyone.

I AM NOT AN ANIMAL

and i refuse to have either side in an over-polarized, over-politicized world telling me what is wrong with me!!!!!!!!


ok, so i guess i wasn't as calm as i thought i was going to be

[darkside]

hey bong i dont particularly like wolf blitzer either. he is kind of a goob and there is just something about him i dont like. but then again i dont really like very many media people anyway. the news is way too dramatized these days, and im sick and tired of hearing about paris hiltons new shopping buddy or some drunk whore getting raped and murdered in a foreign country because the media doesnt have the nuts to ask the hard questions about issues that matter.
