According to homeschool activist Kevin Swanson in his sermon "Using Yourself Up", it is a sin if parents don't leave their children much of a financial inheritance. Well excuse the contemporary individual if they eat more than a single saltine cracker with a single sip of water per day and aren't amenable to living under a bridge like a common troll waiting for an unsuspecting goat to perambulate by. And what if, as in the case of many of the elderly, what you did save is eaten up by overwhelming medical expenses? Not only are we forced to suffer sickness as a result of the sin curse placed upon mankind, but according to this line of theological reasoning, we must also feel guilt for implications of the sickness itself now?

Judge Jeanine remarked on her Fox News program in light of the General Petraeus scandal that it is troubling that men can be manipulated sexually. At least to get a man to do what you want there needs to be the likelihood of a little T&A or some equivalent. The recent election proved that all it takes to get most women to sway at your command is to toss thirty pieces of silver at these harlots so they can go slaughter their unborn.
A Yahoo.com headline read "Republicans: GOP Should Get With The Times." In other words, party elites are advocating the public accepted of assorted forms of perversion, infanticide, and the denigration of the White race. Had the times we are suppose to get with been 1930's Germany, these are the same sorts likely stuffing the politically noncomformist and the genetically insufficient into boxcars sent on brisk locomotive holidays across the central European countryside.

Those Spewing Respiratory Expellant Should Remain Home From Church
In a Facebook comment, I admitted that I wasn’t too keen on being showered with viscous respiratory expellant by someone in the pew behind me trying to hack up a lung.
There is no reason why those suffering such afflictions shouldn't stay home.
As an omniscient deity, it's not like God is not able to determine whether you are legitimately sick or trying to pull a fast one over His eyes.
This sentiment is especially pertinent in a church that insists upon some asinine handshaking ritual where some won’t return to their pews until they’ve smeared their palms over every last palm in the congregation.
For sharing this observation that has no doubt crossed the mind of others, it was insinuated my faith was not as sincere as those that participate in foreign missions.
For responding that not everyone’s cup of tea is made of Third World sewer water, I had James 1:27 tossed back in my face about pure religion being visiting widows and orphans in their time of trouble.
I have visited people in hospital settings despite the near phobia I have of those places.
But I guess those I visited were too White and American to rack up any brownie points over yonder.
And unlike missionaries that send out photocards with their fifteen kids all dressed the same like they are members of some sort of cult, I don’t stretch out a hand expecting something to be placed in it while droning on incessantly how morally superior those dwelling in these heathen trashpile countries are to the run of the mill American Christian that doesn’t practice the faith at the level of a religious fanatic.

In a direct email fundraiser for their Angel Tree Project, Prison Fellowship Ministries invoked the passing of the ministry's founder Chuck Colson as a tactic to solicit contributions. The appeal closed by asking, "We need your church to ensure that no child is without a token of their mom or dad's love." What is the organization doing for the children who lost their parents as a result of the criminal actions of these convicts?

Dependent upon the age of consent in the jurisdiction where the alleged inappropriate relationship took place, on what grounds do PBS heads criticize Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash? Any other time, liberals at the network advocate any number of lifestyles and social arrangements undermining traditional conceptions of morality. If Sesame Street and its backers claim these kinds of allegations will hurt the financial bottom line, don’t these cultural effetes rank among the vile capitalists these artistic types go out of their way to denigrate and despise?
Something to consider of secessionists get their way and there is a second civil war. What if common Americans refuse to fire on their fellow countrymen? If you are going to die on the battlefield anyway, Americans conscripted on either side should simply turn their guns on their officers when ordered to fire.
So will these geezers agitating for secession from the United States remain as ecstatic when the United States cuts off Social Security payments and the like to those residing in the disunited jurisdictions? Of course, those getting these payments have no problem cutting off the young of today from ever receiving any, but certainly let you hear about it when it comes to the loss of their own civil honorarium.

Does Differential Instruction Undermine Achieving Students?
A new educational buzzword is "Differential Instruction."
This form of pedagogy is defined in the "Fiesta" 2012 edition of the Prince George's Suite magazine.
Before going further, perhaps it should be pointed out to a bimonthly publication that, in the standard American calendar, Fiesta is not a month.
But getting back to the subject at hand, differential instruction is described in the following manner: "After participating in a group lesson, students log into their account and find a passage of text just right for them --- challenging enough but not too difficult."
Efforts to approach each student as an individual rather than as part of a herd are to be commended.
However, the approach may be less than ideal.
For when it comes time for grades and academic assessments or accolades to be distributed, will there be any kind of annotation differentiating an "A" granted for remedial work from an "A" granted for a level of achievement more at the level of talented and gifted?
But then again, it probably doesn't really matter as pretty soon we will all be living in conditions reminiscent of a Mad Max movie anyway.
Ironically, the very same teachers griping that one student should not be concerned if another student put in the same effort for the same grade would be among the first to take to the streets in a rampage if years of service were no longer determined in the calculation of pay levels and benefits.

An analyst at Commentary magazine has correctly categorized the Obama phenomena as a personality cult. Thus, it must be asked what will happen when it comes time for this pseudo-messiah to leave office? Seldom in history have such things ended well. Jonestown anyone? Just remember it has come to light that not everyone at that tragedy drank the infamous Kool-Aid willingly.

It has been argued that Republicans must learn to talk about their ideology in a way that appeals to radical minorities. In other words, as in the case of many Seeker Sensitive and Emergent Churches, those elites imposing this stipulation expect average conservatives to hop onboard the bash Whitey and anti-American bandwagon.
For decades, liberals have pounded their chests over the Ugly American Syndrome where individuals from the United States throw their weight around while traveling abroad. Perhaps Americans ought to start exposing the Ugly Foreigner Syndrome where migrants wash up on our shores demanding lavish handouts and wholesale adaptation to their backwards customs.
It has been suggested that significant numbers of Hispanics are not so much in favor of immigration reform as they are in expanding various social welfare programs. So how much more of their income are elitist Republicans harping on the need for reaching out to targeted minorities willing to hand over to the state?

Headshrinkers Badmouth Pilgrims
On the masthead page of the Nov. 2012 issue of Monitor On Psychology, there was a cartoon published.
In this illustration, one Indian says to another, "That was nice, but I don't want to make it in a regular thing."
Seated in the background are the Pilgrims.
It is no doubt hoped readers will conclude this was a depiction of the first Thanksgiving Day feast in the New World; but given the state of the education system, that might be too much to hope for.
Some will likely laugh, relating to how they themselves have endured numerous dinners and parties this festive time of year they didn't mind attending but would rather not have to endure again in the future if given a choice.
However, the Monitor On Psychology is a flagship publication of the American Psychological Association.
This front organization seeks to turn either every depravity known to man into a mental illness the individual has no control over or excuse it in some fashion altogether.
Therefore, would these otherwise political correct leftists have published a cartoon where a Pilgrim forefather made a similarly snide remark about not wanting the Indians over again any time soon?

The cover story of an issue of the Spectator, a British periodical of news and opinion, noted the increasing number of women converting to Islam so they can marry. So why should we feel sorry for these women when their marriages fail largely as a result of domestic violence? As far back as the film "Not Without My Daughter" Western women were warned of what they were getting into when they let themselves be lured into such romances. More importantly, why should Christian men then settle for such sloppy, second hand merchandise on the rebound?
Mike Huckabee stated on Fox News that the Republican Party has done a lousy job in reaching out to African Americans. It should be noted that, to the former governor of Arkansas, targeted minority outreach consists of releasing hardcore criminals of the specified ethnicity who proceed to commit violent crimes against innocent Americans.
The flag of St. Louis briefly flew over the District Building because the Mayor of Washington, DC lost a bet as to which of the cities two teams would make it the farthest in the baseball playoffs. Should our flags be treated so trivially? It shows just what little respect elected officials possess for this nation. They are not late night talk show hosts and comedians.

Al Cardernas, head of the American Conservative Union, is quoted by Politico.com as saying, “Our party needs to realize it’s too old and too White and too male.” Mind you, Cardernas will continue to expect these old White people to render financial tribute as a result of direct mail fundraising solicitation so that he can no doubt continue his quasi-lavish lifestyle. He might not rake in as much as high level union thugs, but he probably doesn’t have to eat ramen noodles several night a week either. If Cardernas feels so strongly about this issue, does Cardernas intend to resign his prestigious and lucrative position so it can be turned over to a woman with himself taking a position as a manual laborer barely making minimum wage?
I voted against gay marriage. However, here is another way of looking at it. Those of this inclination that wed one another stay together even less than heterosexuals in morally legitimate marriages. At least under these new statutory provisions the scourge and ruination of divorce can be inflicted upon those of this questionable behavioral predilection. As humorist Kinky Friedman mused, why shouldn’t they be as miserable as everybody else.
