SOME 'NEGATIVE' PRESS FOR BARAK OBAMA TODAY...
The aide reportedly telling Canadian officials that Obama’s NAFTA talk is more “political positioning than a clear articulation of policy plans.” (USA Today) John Fund looks at how the media is ignoring Obama’s troubled past. (WSJ) Another story begins “Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton yesterday said damaging stories swirling around her rival show that the true vetting of Sen. Barack Obama has just begun, and she predicted that a strong finish today in Ohio and Texas will revive her run for the Democratic presidential nomination.” (Washington Times) The Senator from Illinois is also under fire from a fellow member of the United Church of Christ for alleged lies about a speech he gave to the church. (American Spectator) Obama hopes to finish Hillary off today. (FOX News) But final polls in Ohio are breaking for Hillary. (Realclearpolitics) And she’s retaken the lead in Texas. (Realclearpolitics) From Rick Santorum on Obama’s battle against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act: “He effectively voted for infanticide. He voted to allow doctors to deny medically appropriate treatment or, worse yet, actively kill a completely delivered living baby. Infanticide - I wonder if he'll add this to the list of changes in his next victory speech and if the crowd will roar: "Yes, we can." (Philadelphia Inquirer)
OBAMA IMPLIES SERMON ON THE MOUNT SUPPORTS CIVIL UNIONS...
Telling a crowd in Ohio “If people find that controversial, then I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans.” (Baptist Press) In the past, he’s made it clear he will be an advocate for gay causes, in Ohio he is stating that he is "not" supportive of Same-Sex Marriage, but he will support Same-Sex Unions and the benefits that go with such a union. (Baptist Press) He's consistent on homosexuality, but he has me confused with his reference to "The Sermon on the Mount". What was he trying to say? Also here at Conservative News
CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT TO HEAR ARGUMENTS ON GAY MARRIAGE...
With a ruling expected in 90 days from the Court, get ready folks. The story compared it to “the 1948 decision, cited repeatedly in the voluminous filings before the court, that struck down California's ban on interracial marriage.” Remember, interracial marriage still included a 'man and a woman', what the court is deciding is not 'just' created race but also created sexuality. This is a redefining of the institution called marriage and it will have HUGE impact upon our country, culture and children. San Francisco Chronicle
MOMS HAVE TROUBLE THINKING AFTER BIRTH...
We've always teased in our family that 'Mom lost bran cells when she gave birth." From the story: "It turns you into someone who serves that little infant, to keep it alive no matter what," says Brizendine, founder of the Women's and Teen Girls' Mood and Hormone Clinic at the University of California in San Francisco. "Other parts of your brain that are usually on high alert are sort of taken offline." USA Today
TEACHER APPOINTS INSECT MONITOR...
"Don't kill the insects!" She’s getting a Compassionate Teacher Award from PETA for making sure no bugs are squished in her classroom. The teacher believes this instills a sense of respect for life. I wonder how she feels about abortion and the human (God's icon) in the womb. FOX News
RECORD NUMBER OF TEENS DON'T WANT TO DRIVE AT 16-YEARS-OLD...
Record numbers of California teenagers are saying "no thanks, maybe later" to what once was a rite of passage - scoring a driver's license. Instead of jetting down to the DMV once they turn 16, most teens are content to ride shotgun with their parents a little longer, according to a Bee analysis of statewide license data. The movement away from early driving is backed by a generation of self-acknowledged "chauffeur parents" who say they can keep a better eye on their kids by ferrying them from school to study dates and to the mall and movies. What has lead to this result, and why aren't we changing the driving age to 18-years-old? Sacramento Bee
WEEKEND COLLEGE DEGREE PROGRAMS...
They call it weekend college, and no, it's not about earning a beer buzz in a class called Party 101. Rather, Fresno City College students are earning a two-year degree by attending classes only on Friday nights, Saturdays and some Sunday afternoons - times when other students usually are kicking back. Another Valley school -- College of the Sequoias in Visalia -- modified the weekend concept so students can get a two-year degree by spending Saturdays in class and six hours weekly online. Fresno Bee
