"National Women's Law Center"

A leftwing agitprop organization dedicated to reverse discrimination against men.

They have bullied the government into a draconian enforcement of Title IX that are the reason behind the ending of many men's wrestling programs and other men's althetics in College.


Who support's this arm of the Democratic National Committee?

The kids were just as fat when we had fat, pasty Clintoon. They are that way because they eat way too much junk food, watch too much TV/video games, and can't get outside because they are home alone. I don't think the coming generation of kids will have the current long life span.

One could legitimately question the press release, ask what constitutional authority or responsibility the Federal government has to "make sure that all American children have access to physical fitness programs," but what's the point? The Democratic party has officially passed beyond pathetic on its way to becoming just a parody of a political party...

We should have a special section with the heading

" Just When You Thought The Democrats Could Not Sink Any Lower :"

The Democrats ridicule both VP Cheney's cardiac history and the President's good health.
The sickness that infests the Democrat Party grows more untreatable every day.

Where is the critisism of Ted Kennedy from the left for co-sponsering this god awful education bill that is depriving the youth of America the chance to be physically fit. Appartantly a budget increase of 30+% isn't good enough, so why not 50%? Bush expands federal funding for education at a pace faster than any president in history, and somehow dems use this to make Bush look like he is hurting our youth. This is coming from the party that wants to ban games such a kickball and outlaw any form of "picking teams" as it may hurt a childs feelings.

Everytime I see that picture the same thing comes to my mind. Any man who goes out into public looking like that is showing you that he simply does not give a shit about what anyone thinks, what makes people think he is looking out for them when he walks around looking like an absolute disgrace of a human being.

"These RATs and the Mainstream Media are totally insane. 50% of the public swallows these lies without even a blink of personal research. About 1/2 of America is stupid beyond description."

The dmoncrats would not know the truth if it bit them in the ass. Their motto is "Repeat it until it's truth".

Of course, during the Camelot days, Kennedy was adored for encouraging physical fitness and being a model of youthful vigor. See The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports

Administration: John F. Kennedy
Date: 1961-63

Chair:
Charles (Bud) Wilkinson, Consultant to the President on Physical Fitness, 1961-63.

Richard Swider, Council Administrator

Event/Program:
President Kennedy changes the name to the President's Council on Physical Fitness to address all age groups. The President amended the Executive Order by one objective - enlisting the aid of citizens, civic groups, etc. With the aid of the Advertising Council, Inc., a nationwide public service advertising campaign was launched. President Kennedy 'walks the talk' taking the 50 mile hikes. State demonstration centers were designed in 1961 to showcase model elementary and secondary schools. In that same year, President Kennedy speaks at the Conference on Physical Fitness of Youth. Regional clinics and educational films are initiated.
Administration: Lyndon B. Johnson

You know what the DNC will find fault with next,

BUSH PARTS HIS HAIR ON THE WRONG SIDE!

Of course it will take the media to uncover just how creepy The President is for doing it too.

A red crested gin soaked booze hound this huge is a rare find in nature. But beware, one must learn to appreciate its girth and be careful not to fall into its gravity well.

Like these kids, Howie and Senator Reid and Fatso Teddy?


These kids, 40,000 strong, standing in the heat to give their President an OOO-rah, hear words of comfort and inspiration from him, and say the Pledge of Allegiance in unison? Those kids, Howie? The ones you and the ACLU want to take all the privileges and rights away from?

Maybe more college programs should be funded by Alumni! I'm a title 9 baby and I write my checks for Specific Athletic activities.

Maybe more jr. and sr. hi school programs should be funded by Alumni too.

Or maybe the Dims are just upset because OUR president is SUPERIOR! >snicker,snicker<

Yeah, and Kennedy had suffered major back problems. I saw some pictures of him laying down on a cot in the White House, and he looked like an ad for death.

"How much does it cost to take kids outside and let them kick a ball around?"

They can't do that because the spazz kid will get laughed at.
