WASHINGTON (AP) — Young elementary school students should use the proper names for body parts and, by the end of fifth grade, know that sexual orientation is “the romantic attraction of an individual to someone of the same gender or a different gender,” according to new sexual education guidelines released Monday by a coalition of health and education groups.
The non-binding recommendations to states and school districts seek to encourage age-appropriate discussions about sex, bullying and healthy relationships – starting with a foundation even before second grade.
By presenting minimum standards that schools can use to formulate school curriculums for each age level, the groups hope that schools can build a sequential foundation that in the long term will better help teens as they grow into adults.
Representative Barney Frank announced that he wouldn’t seek re-election next year. And the news wires are filling with little tributes and remembrances of his 30 year career. But there is one notable even that isn’t mentioned in most of them.
Reuters didn’t mention it. The New York Times didn’t bring it up. The Guardian didn’t note it either.
The Washington Post got to it in the 17th paragraph…
On February 19, 2009, CNBC commentator Rick Santelli put forth a marvelous patriotic rant for several minutes declaring that Americans should stand up and protest the Obama administration’s outrageous socialist policies. And he promised to organize a Chicago Tea Party to help publicize the cause later in July.
Little did he know at the time what he had wrought. He was cheered vehemently by millions of libertarians, conservatives, and independents throughout America. By April 15th “tea parties” in more than 750 cities held demonstrations. The fervor for revitalizing Samuel Adams’ 1773 Boston Tea Party rebellion against the oppressive English spread in waves across modern America. The call went out to stand against Washington’s domination of our lives just as the patriots of our founding era had done. And it was met magnificently. The protests swelled into July and culminated in a massive “taxpayers march on DC” on September 12, 2009 that numbered several hundred thousand marchers.
Class Warfare
War between the classes is a matter of perspective. For the elite, it is about the rabble attacking the Bastille. For the rabble, it is about Marie Antoinette being guillotined. (Read Full Story)

The magazine of the Canadian non-profit Adbusters Media Foundation that revives 1960s-styled protests for ultimate Marxist takeover is printed in the United States of America. Without even a passing mention that they, with Barack Obama, are actually masterminding it, Adbusters November issue asks on its cover What Will We Do As America Declines? (Read Full Story)
Founding the Flea Party
It’s clear that the Democrats have “party envy,” even as they cast sneering glances at the Tea Party, which everyone assumes to be a primarily Republican organization. With the recent formation of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, some Dems are beginning to see the possibilities of having their own Tea Party-like organization in the hapless shlubs protesting against America’s billionaires.

As the Arab Spring continues to challenge dictators, demolish old structures and ponder roadmaps for a better future, the US remains committed to its failed policies, misconceptions and selfish interests.
Arabs may disagree on many things, but few disagree on the fact that there is now no turning back. The age of the dictator, the Mubaraks and Ben Alis is fading.
Seriously. This is a real offer. In fact, you really can’t turn me down, as you’ll come to understand in a moment…
Here’s the deal. You’re going to start a business or expand the one you’ve got now. It doesn’t really matter what you do or what you’re going to do. I’ll partner with you no matter what business you’re in – as long as it’s legal.

The passage of the Sodomite bill in New York city is going to have a far greater effect on America than most realize. I would hope those who fail to see the destructive path this brings will read this chapter in Genesis and especially that in verse 24 and 25. Everyone thought the 9/11 Twin Towers event was bad – that is NOTHING in comparison to what is coming to America for allowing this sin to go forth.
Those who promote and demand *marriage* for the Sodomites is akin to those Sodomites who went to Lot’s door and demanded to see the men who had entered. (verse 4). That is what the parades and protests are about – demanding to do as they please with those who happen to be nearby. Now they have the OCCUPATION FORCE rule to aid them in their sin. They have provoked the Wrath of God and they shall suffer the consequences of doing that.

It isn’t who you are – It is WHOSE you are.
AKA: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month
“Marriage is … in its origin a contract of natural law… It is the parent, and not the child of society; the source of civility and a sort of seminary of the republic.” – Justice Joseph Story (Commentaries on the Conflict of Laws)
It is said that Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Barack Hussein Obama, likewise, has certainly been occupying himself with frivolity whilst the U.S. economy edges closer to collapse.
The community-organizer-in-chief took time out from his busy Memorial Day golfing schedule to proclaim June “National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month,” as he has done annually since his election. “The story of America’s LGBT community is the story of our fathers and sons, our mothers and daughters, and our friends and neighbors who continue the task of making our country a more perfect Union,” said Obama, who apparently comes from both an odd family and neighborhood. He instructed all Americans to “rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.”
