sex education bill

The text you cited in this bill that Obama voted for: Each class or course in comprehensive sex education in any of grades K through 12 shall include instruction on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, including the prevention, transmission and spread of HIV.

Does not mandate that there be sex education provided for the kindergarteners, only that IF there are such classes given in the school that they must also include instruction on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, including the prevention, transmission and spread of HIV.

In other words, the sex ed does not have to be taught, but if it is, it must include discussion on the prevention of HIV, etc.

8 yrs ago

folks..are we better off than we were 8 yrs ago ? I think NOT ! I remember FDR...he was super after Herbert Hoover..we survived then & will survive now..but let's give Obammma/Biden a BIG chance...I knew GW Bush was WRONG ! but the merican people are brainwashed smtimes..I've never seen so many problems in this wonderful country...the buck stops in front GW Bush..but he never tkes the blame..his Mom said on Oprah 8 yrs ago"he;s the black sheep in the family" go figure !

Getting inside Obama's loop.

I thought this was one of the best insights into political canmpaign strategy that I have ever read. Would you email me a copy? I misplaced my copy of the Sun, in which I read it. I would like to circuilate it to friends.

I'm a good friend of Grant Ujifusa

mc cain/palin

McCain has dementia..& will reinstate the draft..why is he suspending his campaign..is it a "stunt?"..& wants to avoid Friday's debate ,,why ? we need debates now more than ever..Palin wants was w/Russia,,,how can she leave 5 children & the little one really needs his Mom's LOVE now more than ever...at least Nancy Pelosi's children are all grown...Sen Barbara Mikulski says "she's Geo Bush w/ear rings" ..she is more like Bush than McCain is ..go figure ...

McCain is running by far the most dishonest campaign in American history. And ads against McCain are not considered slander if they're true.

More Negative Than McCain?

The guy who put out an ad claiming this: http://tinyurl.com/4r4edj

Lies, slander and calumny

Obama ran an ad that said McCain couldn't send an e-mail. The Globe in 2000 detailed McCain's limited mobility with a keyboard. Forbes in 2000 talked about McCain's groundbreaking web campaign and called him the Senate's savviest technologian.

Obama ran a Spanish language ad that intimated that McCain's position on immigration was the same as Rush Limbaugh's. In reality, they are completely the opposite.

Obama has an ad running in Florida that says McCain will cut Social Security in half. Completely untrue.

I ask you, who lieth the most?

Obama on Infanticide

Should we call it an Obortion, or Obamacide

Obamanian Lies

Yes, the fact is Obama favors sex education of little kids. Obamaphiles evidently believe they can shout it down, getting in others faces enough to shut the down controversy. The Extreme Left in this country has been pushing for unbridled sex education of all minors for years now, including the teaching of homosexuality and transgender-bending by the way. Obama also stood against the innocent botched-abortion-survivors, otherwise known as baby human beings. Obama has much more than no-experience for the presidency. He appears to be void of traditional morals, preferring the the Faith of ideological politics over any modicum of moral certainty. We can't expect to agree on all political thought. But once our collective moral code is destroyed so are we. Leftists believe it is their right to indoctrinate our children, and our obligation to let them.

be careful America

Palin wants war w/Russia & McCain will invest our social security money in the stock mkt & reinstate the draft..he has dementia & has survived 4 Melanomas ..Palin is GW Bush w/ ear rings..she's more like Bush than McCain is ! ..
