-> The Religious Right plans to use its political power to change
-> America in November.  Unless other Americans act, we may be closer

ooooohh! Should I just wet my pants or carry on as normal.

-> The Religious Right seems to believe that its religious beliefs
-> should be legislated into law for all Americans.  Americans United
What do you all think Clinton's liberals have been doing all this
time? Playing tiddlywinks? Jimmy Carter's presidency was a joke and
Slick Willie's is not much better.
-> for Separation of Church and State opposes those efforts, contending
-> that this tends toward an establishment of religion,
Anyone who can read says the GOVERNMENT can't establish religion. It
doesn't say anything about the several States deciding to do it.
-> electronic media. Some are pushing to have prayer impos
It was in my late junior high years that prayer was beginning to be
outlawed and was done so the year I graduated. Discipline and respect
died that day and has not been back with the same force since...
-> ed upon impressionable youth in public schools.  Their attitude
So, my students are idiotic robots? Unable to reason out simple courses
of action for themselves?
-> toward gays and lesbians is well known.  They are active in efforts
Perversion has never been the American way. Anyone who thinks otherwise

government restrictions. Get real.

That would be nice, but because of the safeguards in the Constitution it
will not happen.

Murder is never justified. The radical ones need to be whipped at the
stocks...

-> are those who oppose the United Nations, attack environmentalism,
A one-world government belongs on the TV. Environmentalism has been
taken to the point of stupidity and has been made into a religion. Folks
with common sense do what is right anyway.
-> call for abolishment of public schools, oppose contraceptive
-> methods, demean feminism and degrade pluralism, multicultural
-> ism and diversity.
Well, the public schools will always be around. We could do away with
the USDoE and the NEA. They are a drag. Roman Catholics oppose
contraceptive methods as the Pope said so; the rest of us do what we
think is the right thing. One cannot demean a movement that is already
demeaning. Pluralism, multiculturalism, and diversity do not have the
same connotations today (nay, even denotations) when I learned what
these words meant back in junior high.
-> That is why Americans United believes that progressive organizations
-> must band together and share resources in order to be certain that
-> the Religious Right (a minority) is not successful merely because of
-> their organized efforts against the majority.
Someone has pulled the wool over your eyes, Norman Lear. The Silent
Majority have always been there. You saw what happened the last time you
pulled their chain once too often and too hard.
->
-> Mobilize America - A National Videoconference to STOP the Religious

-> October 14 (Columbus Day observance.)  It is sponsored by Americans
oooohhh! Another liberal fundraiser that won't help anyone achieve
anything. Maybe Justice Clarence Thomas ought to give the keynote
address.... That'll twist their skivvies in a knot--I understand wedgies
are good for the liberal soul?
-> United for Separation of Church and State and co-spo
Let's unite to see how much further we can separate the Americans one
from the other. After all, we've killed off the heroes... All that's
left are the hoi polloi. If we can get them killing each other because
of the hue of their skin, why God only knows how much power we can have
until the rest of the world eats us alive.
The public school system where I teach is not the least bit threatened.
Our goal is to raise the student's test scores to pre-1963 levels.
Personally, I think it's kinda hard to do that when I'm teaching 7th
graders things they should have learned in the 4th grade and what I've
seen of the standard tests is laughable.
Forgive me for going off on a tangent. I thought this conference was for
and about educators/education. I didn't think it was a liberal sounding
board.
