Portland Maine is breeding wackos

If your daughter is eleven and she has a secret eighteen year old boyfriend, and she tells you she's spending the weekend with her best friend, you better beware. Get out your posse because she might already have the stash of condoms and pills at the ready.
In Portland, the ACLU is making this crazy thing happen. They're backing it up, folks, with their political clout, money and power. They're going the sly, sneaky back road and making your parenting decisions FOR you. This is all about the clinic issue and access to birth control pills for MINORS. What parent is going to deny their child access to the school's health care center if they get a sprained ankle? Aha! This is where they get you. Once your child is inside that clinic, and they want the pill, they can go to any nurse and give them some sob story about how their communication is broken down in the home. About how if you found out they were having sexual relations, you might beat them. Or you might get mad. Then the nurse can say, "It's ok, your conversation with me is protected. They never have to know. If you want the pill, let's get you some counseling." Then the next thing you know, your kid is sexually active, without your knowledge, consent, or without any feedback/interaction. THIS IS INSANE.

The ACLU is not your friend. They want to put up a barrier between you and your child and make it even harder for you to have any say in their moral value system. To these parents that actually support this, I say: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND????

Or is it more worthwhile to spend your time and energy forcing the Al Gore version of global warming down everyone's throats?

I'm getting really tired...

of people that seem to be ashamed to admit where they are from. Two professionals, who I know very well that got their undergraduate degrees in Oklahoma, have gone on to pursue advanced academic degrees in other places. One on the West coast, and one on the East. Neither one of them now will admit in public that they got their undergraduate degrees in Oklahoma. Why? I'll tell you why. Because it's considered bad form for your careers to do that, if you venture outside the Red River boundary.
It's bad to admit you went to school in OKLAHOMA. It's bad to say that you were ever physically inside that rat infested, tornado bait white trash hellhole of a place, where only bible thumpers and stupid people breed and live. It's just such a horrible, horrible place. There's no life there. No class. It's not Harvard. Not Ivy League. Not Berkeley. Not like San Francisco or Boston. They're not like us.
"Your career will fail if you tell them you went to school in Oklahoma. Just better to leave that off your resume altogether." It has actually been suggested to me, now that I'm in KC, and not by just one person, to leave my Master's degree off my resume completely (which I got from OU I will add) and pretend I don't even have one. To that, I say go back to whatever it was you were smoking and shut the hell up. Seriously. I won't lie and that's what that would be, wouldn't it? I could say I went to Harvard. But that would be lying and I won't stoop to such atrocities. I'm very proud of my Sooner Heritage and anyone who wants to challenge that can pucker up and kiss my very proud Sooner ass.
Here is a list of some famous Oklahomans:

Johnny Bench, baseball player, Oklahoma City

To those of you that are dissing your Okie background, one day you will wish you didn't. Karma has a funny way of coming full circle.

I guess Will Rogers never met you.

Un post en espanol

Aqui es un post en espanol. En 1991 recibi mi certificado Bachelor's en espanol de OU (Universidad de Oklahoma). Despues, trabaje en muchas carreras, como agente de viajes, traductora para el gobierno, un guia tour en Mexico, traductora general, pero no he hecho mucho importante con mi espanol. No realmente. No como profesora, o traductora FBI, escritura importante, yo no soy un pensante grande, y mi espanol ha sufrido mucho sobre todo los anos.
Algun dia, si Dios quiere, seria una ministeria en una manera con la iglesia ortodoxia o algo, yo no se. Quiza escrito revistas del libros para la iglesia en espanol, o de la liturgia divina, o visito lugares spirituales muy importantes de la iglesia, como un peregrinaje.
A veces yo siento como ese pato estupido que siempre se siente, siempre esperando para la oportunidad que nunca venga. Cuando voy a oir ese ruido en mi puerto?

Who's your daddy, Fred Phelps

Fred Phelps is a dichotomy of sorts. His "church," Westboro Baptist out of Topeka, KS, was just ordered to pay 11 million dollars to a family who lost a son in Iraq. At his funeral, Phelps and company were there doing their usual hateful picketing.
The father filed a lawsuit and was able to get a jury to award money based on "intent to inflict emotional distress." IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!

We've got some great things in Kansas, but some things are going very bad for us right now. This Phelps guy, Tiller the Baby Killer, the lawsuits against Planned Parenthood, and the Tiller coverup by Sebelius.

But I'll just concentrate on Phelps for today. He's the lowest of the low. I just watched an interview with CNN's Rick Sanchez where Phelps claims his protests are respectful preaching of the word of God about the real reason soldiers die (homosexuality) and he is the real victim here. He cut Sanchez off and accused him of being brainwashed and believing a bunch of "hooey."

The man sounded like he'd been drinking, IMHO. He's also got an unhealthy obsession with homosexuality. First of all, there are no biblical references on his protest material that I've seen, as he claims to be preaching at these protests. They're just posters portraying hateful messages with the INTENT TO DO HARM AND INFLICT EMOTIONAL DISTRESS. There is no loving message of God.
If one looks at Phelp's history, you can deduce that he's a freakshow. He lives in a compound, he's a control freak, he beat his own kids, at one time he had a pool in his backyard but had to have the hole covered up because of the mysterious drowning of a child in that pool several years ago.
I also have to wonder if this guy really is who he claims to be. It's just a fishy deal. Is he really the right winger preacher that he wants everybody to think he is? Well, he's a registered Democrat. Democrats are supposed to be supporters of homosexuality by and large aren't they? At least that's what the media wants us to believe. Phelps preaches hatred against homosexuals, it appears, to incite the gay community. I haven't seen any Republican out there incite as much hatred against gays like this guy. Then he's out there protesting at military funerals because of homosexuality to piss off the military crowd. So he's playing both sides. What's he gaining? Publicity? Money? Both? A cult following? Probably everything a narcissistic personality craves. Narcissistic supply and then some. (Wow, Fred, you're really getting some big payoffs here, aren't you?)
Look at the "see, gotcha" knee jerk reaction of the atheists and nonbelievers out there. "See, look at how Christians behave. Isn't this deplorable?" Then Phelps' message is used to help prop up their stance against God and religion in mainstream America.
STOP IT, PHELPS. You're giving Christians a bad rap here.

Looks like now he's got a lawsuit on his hands. I'm sure it's not the first, and it surely won't be the last. What sickens me is that he proudly wears his KU jacket everywhere he goes. If I was a KU fan I'd be wanting to send the JayHawk mascot out there in public to kick his butt and put it on national TV. Have some picketers in the background standing by too and get it all on camera. I would pay to see that.

"The media loves Fred Phelps"
"Repent, Fred Phelps"
"Say Uncle, Fred Phelps"
"Who's your daddy, Fred Phelps"
