Don't Lie to me that there is no attack on the Family in the U.S.

Let us remember that Liberals are tolerant of anyone execpt, Christian that believe the Bible should actually be obeyed. If you complain to the government the liberal just say, sorry separation of church and state. Oh but they will get in to the business of the church. Anything that is traditional is evil, plain and simple.

I assume you're talking about California Senate Bill 777. Conservative christian reactionaries have been howling about how the 'vague' terminology could mean that 'mother' and 'father' can't be used in school because it's discriminatory. This, of course, is the biggest load of bologna imaginable. The text of the bill doesn't even mention the words 'mother' or 'father' much less ban them. It doesn't even give that impression. This is just another case of reactionaries pulling complaints out of their backside. The only agenda 'against the family' in this country exists in the mind of paranoid conservative Christians who are ready to believe the 'left' is out to destroy the country one secular value at a time.

Ok. To stave off the reactionary right wing, fly-off-the-handle antics, here is the link to SB-777. http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/07-08/bill/sen/sb_0751-0800/sb_777_bill_20070223_introduced.html I have read the entire bill, and no where does it mention the banishment of any vocabulary. Especially the words "Mom" and "Dad". I have no problem with republicans beating up on each other, in fact it's entertaining to watch, I just wish you fruitcakes would do it with the truth for a change. We've had enough lies from you people over the past seven years to last us for the next sixteen. So pull your head out of your bumm, sit down, shut up, and have some cake.

oh for the Love of God, when will it end? Joe Blow not having a mother or father does not negate that this other child does and he has every purpose to refer to his specific parents with these titles... what do the other children call their parent/parents??? bob?

Can someone please explain to me how these common words discriminate? I've been an out lesbian for over 25 years, and suffered plenty for looking like what I am. I am against hating people because of who they love, etc, but I'm even more against idiocy in the public schools! Someone needs to get the word out: there is no act of legislation that can take the place of common sense! BLEAH!

Because we have been made to adjust...and think that it's a positive thing to be politically correct. We have been trusting for way too long. We have tunred our country and our way of life over to people who have stolen their way into politics, to support their personal agendas, right under our very noses. We have been rolling over for years because we have become a country of apathetic hypocrits who complain our butts off inside the closed doors of our own home, yet agree with everything anyone says or wants while in public. We have done it to ourselves. We have elected politicians without investigating who they are and what they believed in. We have opened the flood gates for people who are liars and thieves, who now dictate what we can or can't say, what we can or can't eat, what we can or can't drive, and how much we are going to pay for it all. We have driven ourselves into poverty, both monetarily and spiritually, while unbeknown to us, we have paid these thieves enormous amounts of money to sit in their high minded offices making laws against us. It's high time we, as Americans who love our country and live by God given rights, to stand up and do what we can to get these jackasses out of office and replace them with people of good moral character. It's high time we stand up for what is right and what we believe in. I sincerely hope we stop the apathy and take the control of our country back into our own hands, instead of everyone else dictating how we live. I've been wondering why we have to change the way we've lived for hundreds of years, just to please a few discontent individuals.

Lucky for the liberals, a majority of the media sides with them and dwarfs these issues. Our family values are the core to how our country became as powerful as it is. The liberals will do whatever it takes to take down the right, even if it means destroying the most basics of our society. The wonder of the American political system has been to allow the population to speak. This is to say that the majority wins. What is good for the majority must be good for all. Unfortunately, while the majority speaks to elect the person who will represent them the best, that elected official then perverts their duties and speaks for the vocal minority. It is going downhill and going downhill fast.

It's another form of trying to be politically correct ruining the foundation that this country was built on. You know me Para, I'm a democrat, could be called a liberal, but there are things that I don't agree with. Don't you just know there is some attorney out there making a fortune off of potential lawsuits, because EVERYTHING is offensive nowadays. BTW, if I'm not a "mother" and my husband is not a "father", exactly what do we call ourselves? Talk about taking PC too far...

After having looked up the Senate bill listed by Latrivia I must say I agree with his or her comment totally. I couldn't see anything in the text that came even close to what you're referring to here. This is another case of typical right wing overreaction: if laws are passed to keep nutcases from getting automatic weapons they want to keep everyone from hunting, if two men or two women are allowed to get married soon I'm going to want to marry my cats. There sure is an attack on the U.S. family but it isn't by the evil liberals! Annie

Some people just have more rights than others - or think they deserve more rights than others. Why? I have no idea.

Well I believe that hate isn't a family value but if it is then I am not a family memeber. so there is no way the left can be agianst the family if love is a family value as for the mom dad thing That is over the top. But then agian it is cali so who knows. Oh and by the way I am gay

I think that the people who are angry at this post and the christian people who object to these types of legislation do not understand what the concern is. You see there is such a fear of hate crimes and judgement that we can not have any middle ground. I am tired of not being able to say I disagree with homosexualality then I am labeled homophobe or intolerant. And I am neither. I have family members that are gay whom I love dearly and want nothing bad for them. But I do want to be able to teach my children my faith and beliefs without being persecuted for it. While on the road this summer I heard a news report about a christian group who were charged with felonies for singing worship songs in a protest.. www.cwfa.org/articles/6522/CFI/family/index.htm According to the press they were peacefully protesting a gay gathering and when asked to move further down the street they did. These people ended up with large fines and a felony on their records last I heard, they are fighting it. Where was the justice in that? Do you know why they could be chargee with a felony? Because of the language in a hate crime law! Our concern is that we will eventually be charged with hate crimes for teaching our children our values! That to say it is wrong and an abomination to God in our home will be labeled "hate" speech. Let me be absolutely CLEAR I do not care what homosexuals do with each other I really do not care if they are married I care about my rights to teach my children what I believe! I care about whether or not my Pastor has to water his sermon to keep from offending anyone or going to jail. These laws and ammendments are always meant for good and to help but as you can see from the link these things get abused and others rights are trampled on.

I didn't know they banned the words "Mom" and "Dad" in public schools. That's ridiculous. If and when you find out why everyone has to change to fit the demands of others, let me know.

you forgot the starving people in the us and homeless medical with band aid cures.
