I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT OUR SOCIETY CANNOT.

[M]

Urban Legends say this is real real. In fact the principal of the high school has been asked for “reprints” of his speech.

At a Tennessee Football Game---not a joke.   Christianity is now the target of persecution...   THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS! GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS THIS AND PASSES IT ON.           I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT A HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL CAN SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT OUR SOCIETY CANNOT. Tennessee Football  This is a statement that was read over the PA system  at the football game at RoaneCounty High School, Kingston,  Tennessee, by school principal, Jody McLeod "It has always been the custom at Roane County High School  football games, to say a prayer and play the  National Anthem, to honor God and Country." Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of  Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at  this time, I can use this public facility to  approve of sexual perversion and call it "an  alternate life style,"and, if someone is offended, that's OK. I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing  condoms and calling it, "safe sex." If someone is offended, that's OK. I can even use this public facility to present the merits of  killing an unborn baby as a "viable" means of  birth control." If someone is offended, no problem... I can designate a school day as "Earth Day" and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise  the goddess, "Mother Earth", and call it  "ecology.." I can use literature, videos and presentations in the  classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional  Christian convictions as  "simple minded" and "ignorant" and call it "enlightenment.." However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to  ask HIM to bless this event with safety and good  sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated. This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst,  diabolical. Apparently, we are to be  tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD  and HIS Commandments. Nevertheless ,  as a school principal, I frequently ask staff  and students to abide by rules with which they  do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at  best, and at worst, hypocritical. I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional  transgression. For this reason, I shall "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's," and refrain from praying at this time. "However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM, in the name of JESUS, to bless this  event, please feel free to do so .. As far as I know, that's  not against the law--yet." One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray. They prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and  they prayed in the Announcer's Box! The only place they didn't pray was in the Supreme Court  of the United States of America- the Seat of "Justice" in the "one nation,  under GOD." Somehow,  Kingston, Tennessee,remembered what so many have forgotten. We are given the  Freedom OF Religion, not  the Freedom FROM  Religion Praise GOD that HIS remnant remains! JESUS said,"If you are ashamed of ME before men, then I will be ashamed of you before MY FATHER.." If you are  not ashamed, pass this on  .. I'm not one bit ashamed to pass this on, are  you?         THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS! GOD BLESS EVERYONE WHO READS THIS AND PASSES IT ON.

A cardinal Principle of Conservatism, from the Ancients forward, defines the Family Unit is the bedrock / linchpin of culture/society.

So does abortion, homosexuality, transgenderism and all the rest of the sexually related neuroses, raging throughout our nation, strengthen or weaken the Family Unit?????

Thomas,

Granted that all those alternate life styles have been with us since before recorded history, the main stream straight community has always rejected them. Many times they went too far overboard with their retribution against the perceived perversions those lifestyles acted on. According to scriptures Jesus said "Hate the sin but love the sinner" I have always interpreted that to mean not to abuse them but also not to agree with them becoming main stream alternatives for society. Many of the LGBT community would soundly condemn me for saying that, but I, as they, also have the right to voice my opinions. The ones that quietly go about their business like their counterparts in the straight community do, I have no quarrel with. I do however have a quarrel with the assholes ( Pardon my rough language, but no other descriptor would adequately convey how I feel about them ) that comprise Act Up and other groups like them. To me they are all dancing prancing perverts attempting to ram their lifestyles down the majority's throats and in doing so are damaging any thoughts of peaceful respectful and mutual compromise with the majority. The actions of the LGBT community through the excesses of the progressive government are reaching into the areas of outright dictatorship that their brand of ultra small Elitist groups by definition thirst for..

Philippine president-elect urges public to kill drug dealers
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippine president-elect has encouraged the public to help him in his war against crime, urging citizens with guns to shoot and kill drug dealers who resist arrest and fight back in their neighborhoods.

In a nationally televised speech late Saturday, Rodrigo Duterte told a huge crowd in the southern city of Davao that Filipinos who help him battle crime will be rewarded.

"Please feel free to call us, the police, or do it yourself if you have the gun — you have my support," Duterte said, warning of an extensive illegal drug trade that involves even the country's police.

If a drug dealer resists arrest or refuses to be brought to a police station and threatens a citizen with a gun or a knife, "you can kill him," Duterte said. "Shoot him and I'll give you a medal."
