Would you imagine an America where we all refer to ourselves as "American" and act like we mean it?
Imagine, if you will, an America where we do not allow the government to categorize us by color or nationality; that is what they do, separate and categorize us for their purposes, not for our benefit as a society.
Try to imagine an America where the sponsors of racial separation, the Jesses, the Als and the Janets, could not make a living from racial separation and categorization, seeking "special" treatment for "their" people.
No african-Americans, no asian-Americans, no mexican-Americans, no this-American or that-American, just Americans.
I challenge you, when next you get a chance to check the "race" box on one of the multitude of government forms, check "no thanks".

McDonald's: Christian boycotters 'hate' homosexuals
"Those who oppose homosexuality for religious reasons are participating in "hate," according to an official for McDonald's, the worldwide purveyor of Big Macs and Happy Meals"
I encourage you to "hate" spending money at McDonald's!
I would like to make clear one important point. I do NOT hate homosexuals. A person who indulges in the sin of homosexual activity is God's creation, just as I am and just as you are. Each of us is created in His image.
I believe that the Bible makes very clear those things that God hates and I believe that the Bible is God's Word to man; His playbook for our lives. The truth and the reality of His Word does not hinge on whether or not someone believes the Bible to be true; it just is.
I am a glutton, live a fleshly and slothful life, and have anger and pride issues that serve to give me more than enough room for personal correction. I am just as great a sinner as any homosexual, pedophile, adulterer, thief, liar, or murderer. Sin is sin; there are no shades of gray in these matters.
A homosexual man or woman, by choice, engages in unnatural sexual activity; unnatural according to God's standard and unnatural according to design and purpose. It is not about love, it is all about sex. There is nothing wrong or unnatural about the love a man might feel for a man or a woman for a woman. The natural becomes unnatural when the clothes come off and two persons of the same gender indulge their fleshly lust with sexual activity. Sexual immorality, be it homosexuality, bestialty, adultery, incest, or any sex outside of the marriage bed defies God's desire and order for man.
You will find that I make note of the cultural issues of homosexuality and abortion more often than other topics because these issues have become political issues, are in our face daily and I believe that we have a duty to take a stand for righteousness in the political arena. We must make our voices heard by the representatives that we have elected and we must not give in either to the small percent of the population that indulges in these behaviors or to the minority that approves of or financially supports them, be they corporate, civic or personal.
Let the businesses that promote and support sexual immorality hear from you.
It's not supposed to be about me or you, it's supposed to be about God.

The subject of a not insignificant amount of screaching and swooning is a character named Edward Cullen. Entertainment Weekly states, "Pretty but awkward 17-year-old Bella (Kristen Stewart) moves to a small town in the Pacific Northwest and falls in love with Edward (Robert Pattinson), a heartbreakingly beautiful vampire. Edward also falls for Bella, but his desire for her barely controls his instinct to devour her. It's this combination of passion and danger, of course, that surrounds this teen romance with a halo of epic, doomed love. " "As for the character of Edward, Meyer describes him as ''devastatingly inhumanly beautiful.'' Not surprisingly, he has become a heartthrob to millions."
Judging from my daughter's reaction to the mere mention of his name and the fact that this new "hero" is a vampire prompted me to make the decision to read one of the three novels and to toss out this "heads up". I generally try to contain myself and not scream "fire" without first investigating the source of the smoke, but I am aware that there is a genre of teen literature out there that, much like the adult romance novels that cater to wistfull women, borders on pornography and most definitely bends and shapes impressionable minds.
My daughter tells me that the local library stocks this book, so I'll head over tomorrow and see if I can get a copy in my hands for evaluation. In the meantime, you might want to check your teen's bookshelves at home.
Stephanie Meyer, the author of this (currently three part) saga, moving into the adult stream with her recent novel "Host", is apparently going to make her mark in the world, like Rowling and Rice, sensationalizing the darker recesses of the human mind and the lustful aspects of the supernatural realm.
I'll keep you posted.

Jessie Jackson spouts on live television that he wants to cut Barck Obama's n**ts off, and then he apologizes, NOT for making a stupid remark, but for having a "hot mic"!

Wal-Mart, makes the unbelievable move to include racist trash on it's store shelves , and then, ever tolerant, takes some time to back it out!
The New Orleans Police Department, in a return to incredible thought processing, suspends a 35 years veteran 15 minutes before his retirement for wearing the wrong color shirt! Remember NOPD, the folks who brought us "emergency suspension of the Constitution" and who assaulted and robbed innocent civilians of their firearms during the Katrina tragedy?

"Gay man sues Bible publishers
$70 million for emotional distress because homosexuality cast as sin
A homosexual man who has a blog on Sen. Barack Obama's campaign website is suing two major Christian publishers for violating his constitutional rights and causing emotional pain, because the Bible versions they publish refer to homosexuality as a sin."
It had to happen sooner or later!
Shouldn't he be suing the author, God?

Before you pull the ballot lever for a national Democrat candidate in November, I ask you to consider the results of your actions.
If you vote FOR a Democrat candidate for Congress or President, and that person is elected, your vote will most certainly result in the support of legislation that kills babies, promotes immorality, raises taxes and grows government.
Your Democrat candidate will promote the growth of the welfare state and do everything in his or her official capacity to remove any traces of personal responsibility from our culture and system of laws.
Your Democrat candidate believes that the he (the government) knows best and that you do not have the capacity to make intelligent, responsible decisions for your family and for the upbringing of your children.
Your Democrat candidate believes that laws of other nations should supersede the Constitution of these United States of America.
Your Democrat candidate believes that you should not have the legal authority and capacity to defend yourself in times of trouble.
Your Democrat candidate believes that God is wrong about virtually everything, that God is not pertinent for today, that God has changed His mind about many things, and/or that the God of the Bible is simply not real.
Do you agree?

AFA urges millions to shun fast-food giant over its promotion of same-sex marriage
Another corporate giant apparently wants you, your family and especially your children to buy in to the pro-homosexual agenda; seems McDonald's wants to bring new meaning to "Happy Meal".
I agree with AFA that McDonald's needs to "just say no". I'll just say "no" with my dollars.
