Cleaning the House

This should be titled cleaning the Republican House which is in denial about the appearance of corruption in their midst. Olasky's post in its entirety ...

Columnist Debra Saunders recommends for the GOP leadership Colorado Rep. Joel Hefley, who Tom DeLay purged from a committee chairmanship. Hefley then said of DeLay, "He lets me know repeatedly I'm not part of his team, and that's fine. I don't want to be part of his team."

We send our representatives to Washington to represent us, not some villianous entity or power block. Christians intend for their representatives represent them in an ethical and moral way ... so when they fall it's a double whammy for us.


Surprise: young pro-lifers

The Washington Post's coverage of yesterday's big march in Washington was remarkable for its emphasis on the number of young people on the prolife side ... The article conveyed a surprisingly positive sense, with quotations such as one from a 19-year-old: "This is the beginning of the end. We'll look back at some point soon and won't believe that people were ever killing babies like it was nothing."

I have to tell you I really need this kind of news from time to time to counteract the horrible postions and entrenchments of the left in this country.


When boys sit down, their brain shuts down

Susan Olasky posts on something America is just now begining to learn the cost of; the feminization of our young men has been almost as bankrupt as the social engineering foisted upon our youth for the past one hundred years.

Increasingly researchers are worried about boys being left behind academically. Michael Gurian and Kathy Stevens, co-authors of The Minds of Boys: Saving Our Sons From Falling Behind in School and Life, argue that

"We have an industrial schooling system to educate the greatest number of people, and this system -- with its emphasis on reading, writing and talking -- is set up for the female brain, not the male," Mr. Gurian says. ... . "When boys sit down, their brain shuts down,' Mr. Gurian says."

I hate it when I'm right. Naw! I've been harping on this every since my graduate school studies in Industrial Psychology ... we knew it as psychobabble long before it was called that.

SUMMARY:

Post # 1 - I've been in denial about how corrupt the Republican party was ... glad those blinders are off.

Post # 2 - I don't trust the news media and I don't trust big money movements to tell the truth so let's wait and see before we celebrate.

Post #3 - One thing I've learned about the 20/80 rule, it applies to almost every thing. Don't count that twenty percent of young American boys out who will rise up out of this feminized generation and make a difference for the world ... we have no idea what they're capable of (once they get home from Iraq and Afghanistan) and "all things are possible to God"!
