"Abstinence-only funding in limbo
NEW YORK - .... This front in the culture wars will remain active....
So on MLK's birthday, the MSM sees fit to DIVIDE US!!
What a RACIST Zionist War Daily have I!!!
Valerie Huber, executive director of the National Abstinence Education Association, suggested that one option would be for Congress to approve funding for both comprehensive and abstinence-focused programs.... which now totals $176 million a year....
Yeah, let's SPEND MORE MONEY we don't have for something in which the GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED!

Anyway, YOU WANT A CULTURE WAR, you got one!!!!
"Effort to surmount polarizing debates backfires on pastor" by Michael Paulson, Globe Staff | January 19, 2009
....
Although he has never hidden his opposition to abortion and gay marriage, he has actively courted Democrats as well as Republicans, and has repeatedly asserted that evangelicals need to care about a much broader policy agenda, throwing himself, and the considerable wealth generated by his congregation and his book sales, into the fight against AIDS in Africa.
But he was also a supporter of Proposition 8, the measure approved by California voters in November to overturn same-sex marriage in that state, and in an interview last month he compared same-sex marriage to "a brother and sister being together and calling that marriage" and to "one guy having multiple wives and calling that marriage."
His most controversial comments are now available on YouTube, and the specifics of his AIDS work, his lengthy and readily available video record, and a battle he once had with the IRS are being criticized by bloggers and journalists. The Huffington Post, noting that Warren has cited the success Hitler, Lenin and Mao had at energizing followers, ran a piece last week headlined "Follow Jesus Like Nazis Followed Hitler, Rick Warren Tells Stadium Crowd," while the Daily Beast ran a piece called "Rick Warren's Africa Problem," noting that some of Warren's African partners have opposed condom use and homosexuality.
"The culture wars are not over," observed Michael Cromartie, director of the evangelicals in civic life program at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a Washington think tank....
Gee, it seems to me like the GAYS are the ONLY ONES FIGHTING IT!!!!

Among Warren's critics was Bishop V. Gene Robinson, the Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire, who is openly gay and was invited by Obama to give the invocation at a pre-inaugural event yesterday. In an interview last week with the Globe, Robinson said that asking Warren to speak during the inauguration "sent the wrong message."
But Robinson said he was also hoping to open a dialogue with Warren, saying, "Amongst evangelicals, he's not the worst of the bunch. He's taken quite a lot of heat from his allies for his compassion around AIDS and his work on poverty in the world, and I think he's been really good on some of those things. It's just that on the issue of gay and lesbian relations, the stuff he has said is appalling."
Nothing is more appalling than the chutzpah of a hypocritical and intolerant gay!!! Look in the mirror, reverend!
In his invocation yesterday, Robinson called on God to "bless us with anger" at discrimination against gay people, among others, but he also prayed for "a genuine respect and warm embrace of our differences, and an understanding that in our diversity, we are stronger."
And push, push, push, that anti-family agenda!
ANGER, 'eh, rev?
And lest you think I am singling out the gays in some homophobic fashion, WRONG!!! I could care less about sexual preference; I care about LIFE ITSELF!
"United in prayers; Inauguration messages transcend faiths" by Michael Paulson, Globe Staff | January 19, 2009
.... All across the region, ministers and priests, rabbis and imams are looking toward tomorrow's inauguration with a sense that they are about to witness history, an improbable moment in the American story that requires examination, reflection, and prayer....
Looks like your PEERS might not agree with you, galloping reverend.
Even in denominations whose leaders have considerable differences with Obama, the tone was hopeful. Catholic bishops have been sharply critical of Obama's support for abortion rights, but several priests still looked forward with optimism.
At the St. Anthony Shrine in Boston, about 120 people, many bundled up in winter jackets, listened quietly as the Rev. David Convertino spoke about the "rebirth" of the country at a Mass that concluded with a singing of "America the Beautiful."

On Saturday morning, Rabbi Barbara Penzner told about 35 worshipers at Temple Hillel B'nai Torah in West Roxbury, "I believe in Barack Obama," offering a critique of the Bush administration and saying, "Our country has been through a desolate time, a time of doubt and despair. We have wandered in the wilderness for too long."
