Rush used the term Marxist in connection with Obama in his third hour yesterday.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So?...Rush grew **one** chest hair?

It is time for all talk radio hosts to stop using the words: liberal, leftist, socialist, and progressive.

It is Marxism/communism that drives all “liberalism”. If is Marxism then that is the word that should be used.

And....the homosexual agenda is merely one aspect of the Marxist push to destroy freedom. Rush and Hannity do a good job of whistling past the graveyard of homosexuality as well.

I’d like to see where the conservative movement would be today without Rush. Actually, I wouldn’t.

I'm inclined to believe the latter!

We do not have TV or cable. We only watch stuff on DVD from netflicks.

Does anyone who knows you don't have TV think you are weird? I haven't had TV for about a year. I once made the mistake of admitting that to a friend and now some people are even more convinced than ever that I am weird. I'll eventually get something I can use to watch DVDs. I really believe a lot of what the entertainment industry puts out is mind control (I don't dare say that to anyone and no, I don't hear voices or see communists under my bed). My thought life has improved since I gave up the little TV I had enjoyed.

Whenever I happen to see part of some show, especially the comedies, it's like being in a foreign country.

It's that feeling of being a stranger in a strange land. Really, any thoughtful person should feel estranged from a decaying culture.

$40/month X 12 months = $480

Saving $480 a year is not crazy.

By the way, we gave up on TV and cable when my children were pre-schoolers. Wow! It made a very big difference in our family life. My youngest is now 22 and we are empty nesters. Still no TV.

We now watch programs that are recommended to us. For instance, we have watched the first two years of “24”.

What two gay people do in their own house and in their own bed is none of my business, and it should stay that way. I am not interested in making it my business and I am offended at all attempts on their part to do so.

The coalition is very broad; homosexuals, blacks, aliens, non Christians.

Since Blacks are neither aliens nor non-chr*stians, I continue to wonder at their prominent place in the leftist coalition.

“I think Oscar on The Office is a good example of this. Although they have used his homosexuality to poke fun at the uptight presumably Christian Angela. For him though he has made a concerted effort to if not hide it, at least be unobtrusive about it. Of course that is regularly foiled by Michael.”

Just as I was about to read your post I was thinking that The Office is such a great sitcom and it doesn’t have a homosexual character. Then, obviously, you reminded me of Oscar. The writers really do have him keep his personal life to himself for the most part. His sexual orientation had completely slipped my mind, as it should. I love that show!

P.S. I went to college with Angela Martin (”presumably Christian Angela”). It was a Christian university. Coincidence??? :)

Disgusting is an opinion.

Unsafe and unhealthy is a fact.

I have a personal opinion that I’ve not seen discussed elsewhere.

Prior to the development of modern medicine, the San Fran bathhouse gay lifestyle could never have existed for long. Disease would have quickly wiped out the participants. Only antibiotics and other modern medical treatments made it possible. For a while.

And then AIDS came along...

"The other networks soon followed, and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation now routinely vets all TV scripts dealing with homosexuality to make sure that the public sees only what the activists want. That means, among other things, no programs showing 'ex-gays,' people who have overcome homosexual temptations, unless it is to mock them."

Curious. Sounds like public school libraries. See "Some 'Censorship' is Good," Annoyed Librarian, Library Journal, 8 October 2008.

I would like some details on how you managed that. I think most TV, music videos and many video games are harmful. But how did you limit what TV your children were exposed to? Unless you live in something like an Amish community, your children will have friends who are likely addicted to TV or video games. As an adult, I can pretty well evade discussions about what is on TV so I can play the game of passing myself off as more or less "normal," whatever that means. But how do you successfully raise a child to be a nonconformist when a toxic culture is furiously, even violently, trying to make everyone conform? When I was a young child, color TV was a novelty and my TV time was limited and I was expected to read and have hobbies. I was a bit nerdy and was often mistreated by other children. I cannot imagine what the pressures to conform must be like today! Nowadays, children are inundated with often bad things from our popular culture and the pressure to conform must be stronger than it has ever been.

Sorry for the length of this post and I know my questions are likely ignorant. I have been thinking about what I would do, if I were ever to have a family of my own. How do you train children to be healthy nonconformists? How do you shield them without being overprotective? I don't think I can use my own childhood as a guide - first of all, I was so nerdy I was often clueless and that shielded me from some mistakes by default, secondly, society is now much worse.

Forced Acceptance

The term of art used by homosexual militants waging war against the traditional churches that teach their Leviticus straight, is "reconciling"/"non-reconciling". "Reconciling" means pro-gay, or capitulating to the homosexual agenda. Its use in that meaning, of course, is an abuse of language, since "reconciliation" in Christian and Jewish teaching (better students will correct me) implies repentance and atonement to God, or toward a person wronged.

Scripter! Greetings - I finally remembered my password (email didn’t work) and am now officially back on. Will edge into pinging the lists. (I posted a vanity two nights ago that “I’m back” - hoping to see some familiar - well, not faces, but screen names.

(Had three computer deaths in the last little over a year, too.)

‘The gay and lesbian writers of today have been pushing the envelope any chance they get. In fact, they’re encouraged to do so. Since current comedies are positively obsessed with the intimate sex lives of straight young singles, who better to write them than members of a minority famed for its sexual candor … as a result of the influx of gay writers, even the most heterosexual of sitcoms often possess that most elusive of undertones – the “gay sensibility”—‘Frasier’ being a case in point.’


But if you say Christian or God or Jesus or Christmas, people don’t want your beliefs rammed down their throats.

GOD PLEASE HELP US!

I don’t watch anything but sports on television. The rest is predictable and unwatchable.

Be careful of the DVD’s you watch also. They edit the old time shows based on the whims of these same groups and the feminists. You are buying edited junk in some cases.
