I think Christian fundamentalists should be banned from public schools. What do you think of that? And if states begin to allow physicians to deny medical care to people they don't like, I will support a movement of physicians to refuse treatment to Christian fundamentalists. The hell with the Hippocratic Oath, right, Anon?

That would be great. They already drive us out. This way, we'd have legal recourse to get our money back. I'm a little tired of being taxed to pay for promiscuity and variations training.
You're under the mistaken impression that you're empowered. The despicable day of anti-family forces is nearing nightfall. Maybe we'll set up a compound for Mmmmites. You can have the base at Guantanomo. You can kill each other kids and do all kinds of stuff with each other. They have a nice beach down there.
What is a fundamentalist anyway, since you keep saying I am one? Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you're right but can you tell me what I am?

You mean we won't be able to get marital counseling from you? Darn, darn, double darn!

Go ahead. We've got plenty of our own doctors. A Surgeon General used to worship at my church. A former FDA head still does. So do former heads of medical colleges, heads of local hospital departments, et al. We'll make it.

Don't be so damn smug. It probably wouldn't be too hard to get together a group of Jewish doctors to do just that. Then where would you be?

I keep telling you this. Jew, Christian, we're all the same. It's all a matter of how well scripture is understood.

It's funny, in the days before computers ... well, in the days before Windows ... there was nothing like the experience of working hard all day on something, and then seeing it simply vanish in a blink, the experience of knowing that your work has vaporized into randomness, Something transformed to true Nothing before your very eyes.
Like what happened to me today.
I was going to juxtapose this morning's USA Today article on gay adoptions with Michelle Turner's comments "to the state" that are posted on the CRC web site, but I'm not going to right now. I expect we will have to discuss her statements before long, but just not right here.
This morning's article talked about the movement to prevent gays from adopting. This is one of those topics where neither side needs to have the issue explained to them. Some people will just say, of course you can't put innocent babies into the dangerous hands of those perverted people. It won't need explaining, it will just be obvious. And the other side will go, huh? Babies need homes and hugs, these are couples full of love, wanting to share their love and start a family -- why wouldn't you encourage them to adopt? Efforts to ban gays and lesbians from adopting children are emerging across the USA as a second front in the culture wars that began during the 2004 elections over same-sex marriage.
Steps to pass laws or secure November ballot initiatives are underway in at least 16 states, adoption, gay rights and conservative groups say. Some — such as Ohio, Georgia and Kentucky — approved constitutional amendments in 2004 banning gay marriage.
"Now that we've defined what marriage is, we need to take that further and say children deserve to be in that relationship," says Greg Quinlan of Ohio's Pro-Family Network, a conservative Christian group. Drives to ban gay adoption heat up in 16 states Look, this isn't very hard to figure out, and there's no reason to be indirect about it -- this is simply evil being done in Jesus' name. You can hardly imagine any clearer example of the way the gospel is being inverted in our time, what was loving has been made into hate, what was kind is become cruel.
Good people of all religious tendencies need to stand up for the children, for kindness, and for good sense.
There's much more to the article. In USA Today style, it summarizes at a high, readable level -- you might want to get some background on this topic, which is going to be in the next election what gay marriage was in the last one.

I think I detect a pattern here.
The Repubs won the last election by attracting voters who turned out to vote against gay marriage.
This time, it will be gay adoption.
In 2008, the next Repub administration will ride on the coattails of banning gay teachers.
We've got to get organized and stop them. Maybe we should secede from the union.

You might be right. maybe we should reconsider- for the good of the party.

Maybe the whole gay advocacy issue will effectively turn the Democratic party into the next "Whigs".

I think it might be prudent. What do you think?
