This is beautiful.

This is hilarious, maybe the experiment needs to be duplicated a few thousand times and give other Obama supporters a chance to see the reality of what they are advocating.

The show was not bashing just Catholicism, but ALL Christians. For protestants, celebrating communion, the body and blood of Christ, is central to our worship as well, not just to Catholics. Catholics are Christians, and the protestant denominations are Christians, we all need to be standing together against these attacks and stop letting denominationalism and nomenclature stand between us. Conservative Jews should be standing with us as well, because they should know and understand that, at the very least, most evangelical Christians, are staunch supporters of them.

Dear Chris & Family,

Because I am not in the United States, I just now learned of your illness and fight to get well. I am praying for your complete recovery. Thank you so much for your sacrifice and service to this country. You and all the men and women who have served our country are heroes. God Bless You!

As a public school teacher for over five years, I wholeheartedly agree there is a huge problem in the public school system. It is a problem that money cannot solve. Our culture is much different than it was when I was growing up and going to school. When I was going to school, most of the people I knew were Christians, or at least acted like they were, and most of us admired, maybe even worshiped, our teachers, and we wouldn't dream of misbehaving. God forbid. It was relatively easy for a teacher to control their classroom, and it gave them the ability to focus on teaching.

Now, however, the typical campus and classroom environment is much different. Now the prevalent campus culture is to hate and despise authority, including your teacher, and the administrators. Teachers now have to arm themselves for defiant, disrespectful, body language and talk. Never mind that you will write the student up for saying it. They will be back in your classroom before the period is up and you will still have to deal with them every weekday for the rest of the year.

Parents can complain that some teachers don't know how to control their classrooms, and they are right, but if there are so many parents who can't control their kids, and they only have a handful, how do they expect one teacher to control over 30 to 40 of these smart-mouthed, disrespectful, apathetic students, when they have more 'rights' than we do, and the administration can't/won't discipline them?

Personally, I have a bachelor's degree and a master's degree and I am knowledgeable in my subject area. I didn't realize that I had to have experience as a corrections officer, or the personality of a drill instructor, however, to be qualified to teach. My mistake.

As a Christian, I do not support the NEA, or the direction that public education is heading, and, it appears to me, it is only going to get worse. I am homeschooling my children and I will not be sending them to college unless it is a Christian college that teaches from the Biblical worldview and does not have any 'Ward Churchills' in its ranks.
