Anyway, that's why I've not done much in the way of blogging...
...I have, however, been listening to the radio. Not having a rant on the blog about this week's news has probably done permanent damage to my cardiovascular system: I can feel my blood pressure rise just recalling a few of the topics.
First up is the apparent anointing of Barack Obama as US President-elect. Now, I'm not really into politics, still less am I interested in American politics, but I do resent the BBC and others trumpeting his victory before the votes have actually been cast.
Then there is the "wonderful" news about Britain's pre-eminence in the scientific sphere. We are the first country in the world to allow human-animal hybrids, so-called "saviour" siblings and embryo experimentation. Forgive me for not breaking open a bottle of bubbly... but I don't actually consider this anything to be proud of. The one thing to be grateful for is the fact that there wasn't time to debate all the pro-abortion amendments (there was absolutely no chance of any restrictions being imposed anyway, given the currently overwhelming pro-abortion make-up of the House of Commons.)
And then there is the introduction of compulsory sex education classes for five year-olds. They won't be taught "sex" but they will be told about the body parts and about relationships. Of course, given the Government's agenda, this will mean that the children will leave primary school knowing what a homosexual lifestyle is, even if they are unable to spell it.
And the really, really horrifying thing? The fact that the Catholic Education Service is sanctioning this in Catholic schools. We are told that nothing inappropriate or contrary to Catholic teaching will be promoted in Catholic schools. I am so reassured by this statement...
After all, nothing contrary to Catholic teaching is promoted in our Catholic secondary schools, is it? Well, nothing other than how to put on a condom, where to get the morning after pill and how to arrange an abortion...
The more "sex education" the more pregnancies it seems like. I don't think many people object to students being taught "the necessary plumbing" at appropriate ages -- but the government yahoos, if left to their own devices will put in an agenda which promotes immorality.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't get me started on Nobama. There are questions re: his citizenship [there are reports he was born in Kenya, not Hawaii, that what has been produced re: his birth has not been the actual long form Hawaiian birth certificate, but a short firm registry of a live birth - his Kenyan grandmother has allegedly been recorded saying she was in the delivery room when he was born in Mombassa. This in itself wouldn't be a problem IF both parents were US citizens - his mom was, but not dad...and there are technicalities with HER residency in the US prior to giving birth to him. If you're into radio here is a link to the Mike Savage show wherein Philip Berg - a lifelong moderate to liberal democrat, a former deputy attorney general in Pennsylvania - he's filed suit.
ReplyDeleteThe belief is he was born Aug 4th in Mombassa, and registered live birth Aug 8th in Hawaii. [i.e. she'd been too pregnant to travel before he was born.]
The challenge is to release a long form birth certificate from the State of Hawaii.
Possible Manchurian candidate.
Sex education being taught in schools is just plain weird. The little twits can't read, write, or add 2+2, but they have time to teach them how to put a condom on?
