This is another example of why we need school vouchers in this country. If parents choose to send their children to a school that recognizes the parent's religious beliefs, then there is NO establishment of any particular religion by the government, Federal or otherwise. How did the Federal government get into the business of establishing the Dept. of Education in the first place? Schools are traditionally a local or State function. It wouldn't be so bad if the Dept. of Education didn't have it's own "transformational" agenda that is unrelated to "Reading, wRiting and aRithmetic", or to getting a job (or better, starting a business that PROVIDES jobs) with the education that children receive.

"biological and chemical distinctions between the two sexes" That second on really ought to be taken into consideration. It's the wrong time of the month, and the lady's got a gun. Think about it... Is she going to be effective in a combat situation?

How about the rights of the not-yet-thourght-about to grow up without owing a crushing debt for money spent by the previous generation (US)? And it's a debt that is all the more difficult to pay because there are fewer to pay it because of abortion. Well... at least the money was there when 'I' needed it.

I agree there. That's why this country has only lasted 236 years and has now passed the tipping point toward perversion by voter choice. That's the reason for the caution by GW.

You must have the Republicans confused with the Libertarians. From a secular-humanist point of view, there is no particular reason to ban public nudity. But the government was intended to reflect the morals of the people. Where does it say in the Constitution that the people of this land should be secular-humanists? Geo. Washington in his farewell address said this form of government will not work unless people are moral. "[A]nd let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion". 1796 History shows time and again God calling people unto Himself, and people falling away and 'doing their own thing'. "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." Prov. 14:12

The real Mitt won, as opposed to the caricature of him that Obama has been campaigning against. Between his 'yes' men, the fawning media, and the straw-man version of Mitt Romney that Obama has had to face for the last few months and years, it seems to be quite a wake-up call for him to go up against the real thing!

I think that Obama is a man with very dangerous ideas who calls his own shots. The reason he was "off his game" is that he is not used to being confronted with someone armed with a grasp of principles and facts, who has a track record to point to when he says "I worked with a Democrat majority in Mass", and "I have run successful businesses, and consulted for many more". Obama is not an empty head or a puppet, but he is used to being surrounded by both.

Ryan was chosen as vice-presidential running mate precisely because he HAS a plan. As head of the House Budget Committee he drafted and submitted a budget that would balance the budget over a short period of time with minimal pain, provided that it is enacted soon. In contrast, the House and Senate have failed to pass a real budget for the entire time that Obama has been in office. The most recent budget submitted by President Obama was not serious, and received precisely zero votes. Romney could have taken the conventional approach and chosen a running mate based upon demographics, in order to win over more voters. Instead he chose someone based upon the major issue that is facing this country at this juncture in history.

I don't see Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan running from Mitt's record as Governor, or as head of Bain Capital, or as head of the Olympic Committee either. Let's see... Governor... reduced deficit without raising taxes... increased number of jobs... yep, that's Gov. Mitt.

Well, someone should probably have checked on the name Barack Soetoro four years ago. Then we'd be having a different conversation today, it seems to me.
