Thanks for the kind words.

I'm honored to share the foxhole anytime with you, and a great number of folks here.

absurd but DELIBERATE distortion, and one that many sheep believe, just as if they were following the media to slaughter.

I think you see the same thing I do.

You're doing a great job of illuminating the gay approval agenda. It's deep and strong. Now that we're finally shining a powerful light on it, we observe the wailing and gnashing.

Something to consider regarding folks who's position on this issue confound you: brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, spouses, friends, neighbors. It's tough to look this issue in the face, when it's someone you care about that you're looking at.

On January 24, 2005, Nile Rogers appeared on Bill O'Reilly's program and blatantly mislead Bill O'Reilly and the viewers concerning a Tolerance Pledge, stating "We don't ask people to sign the pledge." There is documented proof that they did, indeed, have people sign the pledge. Just as there is documented proof that they had, until very recently, a "Wall of Names" listing those who chose to sign the Tolerance Pledge and submit their name at the website. Nile Rogers, himself, is on that list.

Nile Rogers also denied that the WAFF website has materials with a pro-homosexual content and inferred it never had such materials at its site.

That is also patently false.

Originally, one could find pro-homosexual materials through the URL: http://www.wearefamilyfoundation.org/TEACHERS/wfc_resources.asp, for instance. Those particular RESOURCES were for teachers using the Writing for Change curriculum, authored by Susan M. Shaw, Ph.D., and Janet Lockhart (see "Resources" posted below). According to documented proof, that particular curriculum was available for download in pdf format at the We Are Family Foundation ("WAFF") website. Since on or about the last week of January 2005, that curriculum, however, is also no longer available at WAFF.

Someone at, or affiliated with, the WAFF has been removing links to and evidence of the pro-homosexual material(s) (curriculum, resources, and links) previously found at their website, since on or about the last week of January 2005.

Coincidence? Hardly.

It's obvious that the WAFF has not been truthful or candid regarding its past or present activities or its pro-homosexual agenda.

According to the American Family Association (AFA), it is being sued by the WAFF because of an article the AFA wrote concerning the WAFF and its most recent video/curriculum materials being distributed to 61,000 schools:

WAFF says the article caused WAFF to be "exposed to substantial public ridicule and harm." WAFF told AFA to "render a public apology" regarding the article, or WAFF would "commence an action in the United States District Court against (Wildmon) and the owners of the AFA Journal."

It is my opinion that the WAFF owes the American Family Association, Bill O'Reilly, Dr. James Dobson, parents, and children a public apology for its deception and its misrepresentation. The WAFF certainly is and has been propagandizing homosexuality as normal under the guise of "tolerance and diversity."

It is also my opinion that Bill O'Reilly owes his viewers an apology for misreporting. Had he done his homework, he would not have allowed Nile Rogers to get away with his misrepresentations concerning the WAFF and its agenda, and would have been held to account for the disappearing act of a vast amount of pro-homosexual materials, aimed at children, from the WAFF website.

Bump, Bump, and Bump.

This is a real saga. If it weren't for truth warriors on FR, who knows what kind of lies and evil propaganda would get swallowed whole by everyone?

My humble appreciative thanks to everyone who has searched for the truth and put it up on FR for all the world to see.

That part of the world who wants to see, that is.

I hope O'Reilly reads this info.

A (D) said that?!

Perhaps we can get them moving to start requiring an "H" rating with bi-partisan support.

O'Reily's harvard education makes him a tad too pro-homo. During the entire marriage issue he basically too the Kerry position which was just a dodge.

The impression that O'Reily transmits is that he would be openly for homosexual marriage if it would not have hurt his ratings.

His BS about civil union being ok only displays ignorance about how civil unions are the same as marriage and are just a back door to divorce court, marriage SS benefits, and adoption (most states do not allow sex partner adoption or outlaw homo-adoption with more states looking to prohibit homo-adoptions)

I wish O'Reily would just read the resources you have and even simply read them to the public.

If he would just read anything on FR out loud instead of spewing his mental burblings, his show would improve more than 100%.

This is a real saga.

Ain't it, though? : )

searched for the truth and put it up on FR for all the world to see.

Yes. Posting their own words, written in black and white, for everybody to see exactly how it was on the date posted. That way, they can't rewrite history and then lie or sue others, when making false claims.

Keep up the good work. This is a critical, if widely unrecognized, battle line for our country's soul.

I agree. It's really pathetic when an outfit claims it only has a positive agenda for children, but when the truth is outted they're actually lying, making false claims, and then suing after they erase the evidence which would expose their lies and deception. Good thing much has been saved. I understand someone has even saved the whole website during January before WAFF changed and deleted all the evidence! : )
