The Mercury News is running an article on a class some California going to do on Philosophy class on alternative thought to evolution. There were many in the anti-ID groups that said that if you want to have it discuses in a public school (we are talking ID, and I would say I hope all forms, not just Christian Creationism, there are also Theistic Evolution, and there might be others, I am not sure). Well when they do it the school is sued for introduction ID in a public school. and for only 15 students to be enrolled in the class makes me think it is an elective, which it should be. I would say that if it was not an elective then I would have to take issue with the students being forced to take it, but if it is an elective then what is the problem?
Even the liberal John Dvorak said
A famous liberal on TV (I forget his name) commented that the death of the Liberals and the Democrats is because they cannot pick the right battles to fight. This appears to be an example. The study of philsophy will always entail religion in some form or another as a philosophical construct.
Oh well.
Well I guess it could be worse like when Dawkins said that faith-based education “child abuse” Well if that is the case I am glad that my mom “abused” me as a child by sending me to Christian Schools.

Fox News has a story on how Clinton was returning from Paris, and had plane troubles when he landed for a refueling stop. Well at the same time some troops were returning home. Well Clinton (Bill that is) went out to welcome to troops home, and to thank them for their service. I have to say that was a classy thing for him to do.
Our troops do deserve to be treated with respect when they return, and not the way they were treated when they returned from Vietnam.

World Net Daily has an article about the Naval chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt’s hunger strike. The article covers that the Navy claims they said no such thing, but only said it about “Official” gatherings. To this I have to say, and ask. If you want a Christian to pray at the gathering, then you have to expect Christ and/or the Trinity to be named. If you ask a Muslim expect Allah, if you ask a Jew expect YHVH (pronounced Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh). Next if they are trying to be “inclusive” what about the Buddhists/atheists who believe there is no God, or the agnostic who is unsure of the existence of God, don’t they count does not a pray even to a generic god say that the navy believes they are wrong? I say IF you ask a chaplain to pray, you have to accept that they will pray to the God (or god) that they believe in, and in the case of Gordon Klingenschmitt that God is Christ Jesus/The Trinity/The 3 that are 1/The Great “I am”

Save the GOP asks a great question over at their site. And that is, “does anyone take Pat Robertson seriously anymore, or have we all agreed he’s the Al Sharpton of the right?”
I mean come on Pat Robertson is a moon-bat, I don’t think he ever spoke for the right, nor has he spoken for the Christians of this nation, nor did he ever speak for the Religious Right. I have always thought of the “700 club” as more of a show for people in some bizarre cult, not a Christian show. And he last year and this year has show just how off the wall he is. The sad thing is that many on the left judge the right by Pat Robertson, but that is just as crazy as judging the left by Al Sharpton.
To my friends that are on the left side of polotics, please please don’t judge us based on the moon-bat Pat Robertson.
