“Come On…Mr. President…Show these clowns out the door”

Hi-De-Hi… baby don’t ya…wanna’ go?

“Right back to that big old ‘White House:”

“We’ll get this show on the road”

When we read history of
events that show human insanity, e.g. Christians burning non-Christians,
Christians torturing by ‘racking’ victims of the Church, and committing some of
humankind’s worse atrocities all in the name of Christianity, how can one describe
today’s modern Christian whom live among us? Obviously, we all call these silly
human’s who committed these crimes in the name of Christianity ‘crazy,
over-zealous Christians’ who took their religion too far, but what shall we
call these self pronounced (loudly I might add) Christians of today?

Well, let us see by examining
what these Christians are up to these days so we might better describe our brethrens.
First, allowing equal status to voting women as with men (except women still do
not make same wage, but find necessary to work for family survival; if women
earned the same high wages men earn, we would all be out of debt) on paper was
a clever trick.

Good business is where you
find it, but to discover our Christian Brethrens’ single political ideology
behind embodying legislation stem from one sentence in the Bible that women are
subservient to men is a wicked belief. Today’s Christians are fools; they do
not torture or burn us nowadays, but fools all the same.

This belief that our other
half of the human equation is inferior to the other human half is so misguided,
it defies common sense. We are and always must be one of the whole; try giving
birth without the other half.

There is nothing wrong with
being religious; in fact, we founded the first European settlement here based
on the need to worship freely, but humans wrote the Bible, not a God. We all
know how reliable we humans are not. Return to basics; believe God—not a
collection of men’s writings.

Our first settlement sprung
so many others; some for various other causes like gold and riches. Together
these settlements formed a nation with laws, military, and a lot of lawyers.

We have created something
great together. Why do we wish to screw it up? We have a really nice place to
live. I like my schools. I like my neighbor. I like the fact I can hop in an
automobile, and drive to a store to buy an expensive electronic toy that will
give me many years of good entertainment; all after I had sex with my wife who
takes contraceptives. Why do we wish to screw this up? Are we fools?

O’ Believer, facts shall set
you free.

O’ Non-believer, let the
Believers believe.

O’ Believer, believe onto
yourself.

In a war zone, constant possible death, such as rain from random artillery fragments, grips your attention. Reality takes over. Real only to discover you are helplessly exposed to death; without a weapon.

Blood shed raises a reaction.

Despite Americans bickeringover outlawing condoms so we will have more children, and who will pay for the disgusting financial mess left by Republicans, we suddenly unite under one American belief that when someone sheds our nation’s blood on foreign lands; we stand by our elected President to make a response, and stand by our troops. We love our troops (even our female combatants), and we do not like people killing
them. For what ever reason they may have, it is not good to kill our troops,
and we do not like it. Did I mention; we do not like someone killing our
citizens?

We Americans created the best technologically advanced society; living science fiction made into fact. Our killing technology is superior. Therefore; Clint Eastwood’s famous one liner, “Make my day, punk!” has universal meaning for all Americans. We are willing to fight, and fight well.

No stupid ideology, no matter the depth of a belief could excuse killing a fellow human being; now no longer available to people who loved them. Burning paper creating two human deaths is pure stupidity, bordering foolishness. What is wrong with you O’believer? Burning paper versus two human lives; are these papers so important?

Probably one of the best advantage I felt we Americans have for being Americans is the fact our advancement went phenomenally quickly from prairie schooner to landing a man on the moon. We have a sweet life here. Even the amount of money lost from
previous greed, what we suffered makes lesser nations squirm with delight, but
we were able to survive the ordeal. It is good to be alive, but we can’t have
people kill us. Money is only a number; just think bigger numbers. Remember our
Carl Sagan? Billions, trillions, and higher is but a number.

Our technological advancements protect our nation; thereby creating pseudo Government jobs in the defense industry. Admit it, would not a fully encasing exoskeletal augmented device, combat capable serving ‘Hermit crab’ mobile housing as well sound kool; right? It should contain its own oxygen supply.

A job is a job. A job that enhances our nation is a good job. We have sold arms throughout our history, and offer a wide range of effective killing devices, but also non-lethal control apparatuses creating very high paying technical jobs. Our nation needs freer, specific training in building customized body armor. War makes money flow. Uniform flintlock components invented by an early American allowed us to mass produce weapons and other domestic products succeed with our revolution against the Brits which proves not everyone on this planet are nice peoples. We must defend ourselves.

Liberals ask, “When will the killings stop?” The answer is never. We humans instinctively kill each other, other creatures, or anything that seems alive.

One common reaction to experience during your very first war zone mortar or rocket attack; you find yourself panicking because you feel vulnerable without a weapon. You scuttle from one corner to another looking for a place to hide. Your only desire is to
grip a weapon and kill those bast—ds right back. Fortunately these weapons are
expensive; therefore deserve high wages. When attacked, you do not care of
weapon cost, you only wish for it to work elegantly.

Admittedly we already possess awesome combat devices, but creating better weapons allows man to think of more advanced technology uniquely contributing to all humankinds’ evolution. Each of us leaves a piece of our expert contribution; proves symbiosis in action. Creating killing devices more unique or convenient for combatants appear only from a healthy, prosperous, and creative citizenry. Dude, we export Star Wars in Three D!

If you kill us, we shall impinge upon all Yankee ingenuity, and create ways to kill you back, but with the least risk to our lives. The best option for every party simply means
allowing others to live in peace, while you prosper peacefully as well. Stop
the killing; then we would stop this violence against our distant relatives.

The semper fidelis story was a wonderful story, here is some information you probably didn't know. These contractors and sub-contractors made millions for faulty research on the water contamination issue. Here is the list of contractors and sub-contractors that was hired by the Department Of The Navy:

• • • Rodney Rhodan Georgia Water Science Program

      Atlanta, Georgia

      U.S. Geological Survey

      W.M. Grayman Consulting Engineer

      Cincinnati, Ohio

      It's to my understanding that in 2005, the Bush administration assigned ATSDR to conduct research into the Camp Lejuene water contamination that occured at Camp Lejuene Marine corps base from 1957 - 1987. The research was conducted, the final report that was released by ATSDR was faulty and the agency purposely excluded several important vital toxin from the report. The toxin that was found in the water after a reassignment of this research to The National Academy of Science, was TCE, PCE, Benzene, Vinyl Choride and fuel from the military tanks or track vehicles. ATSDR, excluded benzene, vinyl choride, and fuel from the initial report, that was revamp by the national academy of science. ATSDR, claimed that there agency performed the research and report themselves, but the research and report was actually performed by the private contractors and subcontractors hired by atsdr. This information was never revealed in the report nor on the marine corp website that the report was actually not conducted, by the Agency for toxic desease registry to the marines, sailors or civilians that worked on Camp Lejune, military base in North Carolina. This information was and still is being kept away from the public, military personnel, and there families that worked and lived on the military base and was exposed to these toxin that was found in the base water well system. Under the freedom of information act, this information should have been included in the reports and on the military website to keep the marines, sailors, and civilian works informed. I've requested and investigation through GAO, Epa, Oig, Senate, Congress, Inspector Generals Office, DOD, The Department of the Navy and the White House. My allegation is contract Fraud, and a direct conflict of interest. I haven't heard anything about the investigation I requested so I would ask you the public to voice your opinion to this article and to congress, senators and even the White House, in regards to compensation for these military personnel, there families and the civilian works. Here is some of the contractors on the list, I would love to have the full contractors list from 2005 - 2007 that was used by ATSDR.

      Thank you for contacting the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). You requested a list of contractors that are assisting ATSDR with its health studies investigations, including the water modeling/study, at the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Please note that ATSDR permanent staff, federal government employees, are leading this investigation and are intimately involved with the day to day activities of the investigation. The contractors listed below are assisting ATSDR in this effort.

      Eastern Research Group

      Boston, Massachusetts

      Georgia Tech Research Corporation

      Atlanta, Georgia

      Dahlonega, Georgia

      Watermark Numerical Computing

      Australia

      U.S. Geological Survey

      National Research Program

      Reston, Virginia

      WESTAT

      Rockville, Maryland

      NORC University of Chicago

      Chicago, Illinois

      (currently no longer an ATSDR contractor for this investigation)

      Additional information concerning ATSDR’s activities at Camp Lejeune can be found at:http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/ sites/lejeune/index.html

      Please note that ATSDR identifies what contractors assisted in its health activities whenever a report is released. For example on page ES18 of the Historical Reconstruction of Drinking-Water Contamination at Tarawa Terrace and Vicinity, U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, we list what contractors worked with ATSDR to develop that report. Also the Camp Lejeune Community Assistance Panel (a citizens panel that advises ATSDR) is fully briefed on how ATSDR is conducting the investigations. Information regarding the Camp Lejeune Community Assistance Panel can also be found at the web site listed above.

Thanks for the article. Finally, something that is accurate and factual. I
have been studying the founders and am appaled at the untruths told by the
christian right. I hope this is published and even expanded on. The founders
knowledge of their recent history made the separation of Church and State
absolutely essential.

Religion: A Cancer In Public Education

Before anyone becomes emotional or defensive about the title, let me explain what I am discussing. This is not a criticism of anyone’s belief in God or any power greater than ourselves. It is not an attack on Christianity or Mormonism or any specific religion. Nor is this a discussion as to whether there is or is not a God.

Let’s be very clear, what I call religion in this context are certain practices of churches and their attempts to control public education in violation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Their aim is to control what children learn, what teachers teach and what the purposes of public education should be. They aim at total control of individual liberty.

What some churches do today is far removed from the teachings of great moral individuals like Abraham, Jesus, Mohammed, Gandhi, Switzer or King. Rather, they preach intolerance, scorn for those who believe differently than they do and rigid adherence to church power rather than to individual conscience. They preach hatred for their enemies, holiness of money and acceptance of racism. How often have you heard that Mormons are not Christians, that Jews are infidels, that Muslims are out to kill everyone or that the other religion is false and one’s God is better than the other person’s God.

Now let me discuss the central issue of this paper - religion as a cancer in pubic education. Religion, like cancer, attacks the various “organs” of public schools.

First is the attack on personal health. Religious extremists object to the teaching of sex education and any mention of contraceptive and the use of biological names of body parts. Knowledge of these topics, they claim, will lead to a greater number of young people to engage in sexual activity. The opposite is true. Knowledge prevents engagements in unhealthy sexual activities. It leads to a reduction of unwanted pregnancies. The healthy habits of young people improve greatly when they have knowledge of the dangers involved in pre-marital sex. The abstinence only sex education programs have been a miserable failure by any standard to measure their effectiveness. The health of our children is dependent on an understanding of how their bodies work - period.

Second there is the attack on science. Objections to the teaching of evolution, biology and anthropology are numerous and wide spread. The critics desire to submit creationism, intelligent design and original sin into the curriculum of the schools. All of these efforts are in contradiction to scientific knowledge and to the separation of church and state - as required by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Critics certainly have the right to believe items based on faith; but there is no justification for teaching faith-based beliefs in public education.

Third there is the attacks on history. Attempts to “prove” that this nation was founded on Christian principles is a strong desire of public education critics. They try to establish that our Founding Fathers were devoted Christians or holy men who lived pure lives. History, however, is clear. Most “Founders” rarely attended church, owned slaves, and wrote very little about religious topics. Jefferson denied the deity of Jesus, Washington rarely attended church and often criticized it. Of the “Founders” only John Adams was a practicing Christian who professed his strong religious beliefs. Most of these men who revolted against England were Deists who insisted on the separation of church and state.

We as a nation are blessed to have an Amendment in our Constitution that requires the separation of government activities from personal actions. As individuals we can express our religious beliefs at anytime in any place. But schools, as a government service, cannot , and shall not, be involved in religious actions or the promotion of religious beliefs. To do so is to feed the cancer that will destroy public education. That is something that a democratic nation cannot allow to occur. And we should all be diligent to prevent misguided individuals from infecting our public schools with religious causes.
