Hump-day News Stories

http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle...storyID=6548408 Tommy Franks is one of the greatest American generals. Too bad he retired.

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=15593 It is illegal to teach Christianity in the public school system but it is OK to teach Islam. I am really beginning to hate the public school system…

http://www.adn.com/.../5691080p-5623988c.html News paper endorsements are not my favorite things. In fact I think the media should never endorse a candidate in a political campaign. That being said why is it OK for the Democrats to get an endorsement from a news paper but not a Republican?

Oh you knew you would get me to comment about this didn't you Drunken!

I read the article about teaching Islam in schools & I have to agree with you, I'm starting to hate public schools as well.

What has our schools come to? First off, they want to take "Under God" out of the pledge of allegiance, stating that some atheist would be offended. The schools also change the names of seasonal holiday vacations from Christmas Break to "Winter break". It's also illegal in some states for kids to form "Christian Clubs" on campus because they will offend non christians, gays, or others.

So now we have Islam being taught in schools & this is okay??? What the heck is this about?? If you are going to have no religion taught in schools, then it should be straight across the board, no religion! This goes for Christianity, Judisum, Tauism, Muslim or any other religion you worship. You can't have it both ways people, either we play by the rules or we don't play the game! Bending the rules for one special interest group over another is wrong. I guess the old saying "You can't have your cake & eat it too" applies, unless your cake is Islam!
