<h2>New York Can’t Afford NOT to Have School Choice</h2>
<p>Ok if private schools are cheaper then how come New York can not afford them? Well people who could get away from public schools already have.  If all children are considered equal &#8230;  the state can not afford to educate all the children in the State.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cato-at-liberty.org/2008/11/17/new-york-can%E2%80%99t-afford-not-to-have-school-choice/">read the article here</a></p>
<p>So what is going to happen if the economy slows that those middle class parents need to start returning children to public schools. The rich children get an education the poor get - you know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pro life sites are now in communication and education modes. Many of the ballot efforts did not pan out, and Obama is considered the most pro abortion president ever. There will certainly be a matching of wits when the day comes for him to appoint a new judge to the bench. He has also made promises concerning removal of existing hard won pro life laws.</p>
<p>Battle over prop 8 has not settled and is back on its way to court.</p>
<p>Citizenship issues with Obama are still in the court. Any desicion reached will have an effect on future legal issues - I would assume that the court would like the parties invovled to settle it out of court.</p>
<p>More later, I&#8217;ve not posted in this blog for awhile, I am still here; and will resume a normal posting pattern.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hillary never did release those delegates, that was my tip off that she still had her foot in the door.  Her return is being <a href="http://www.jeremiahfilms.com/released/news/080608.html">posted at Jeremiah Films</a></p>
<p>The religious right still has issues with McCain &#8230;  Obama record of <a href="http://www.jeremiahfilms.com/released/McCain-vs-Obama/life.html#081108">voting to allow killing abortion survirors</a> makes a vote for him a vote for murder; although the MSM has not fully exposed this problem. <a href="http://www.jeremiahfilms.com/released/controversy/DemocratsForLife.html">Democrats for Life</a> has backed down from insisting babies are human too; and got hit by the door on the way out. Christian&#8217;s have gotten <a href="http://www.jeremiahfilms.com/released/news/073008.html">serious in their desire to protect children</a> &#8230; all it took Jesus was 12 to get the movement started.</p>
<p>If we ignore that he does not carry the <a href="http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&#038;pageId=72173">basic ideas important to the principled right</a> &#8230; we still have a sticking point on <a href="http://livedout.blogspot.com/2008/07/dobson-flip-flopper.html">stem cell research</a>.</p>
<p>The question therefore becomes who does the least harm &#8230; McCain&#8217;s harm is in redefining the GOP as a party of compromise; harm that will last more than 4 years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sign a five year gas contract with Exxon, Plans available are the Sunday driver plan good for 2 miles during week days and 10 weekend hours a week, (no rollover miles). Extra miles are $3.00 per mile. They also have a saleman plan for 4000 miles per month week day and unlimited weekend.</p>
<p>The car itself can only be powered by Exxon fuel. It has no user serviceable parts and opening the hood will violate the warranty and disable the Icar. If you try to use other fuel, you must pay the fuel contract in full. If the car breaks you must pay your contract in full. Theft insurance is extra.</p>
<p>You need to pay more for the Icar with powered windows, as well as the icar for nightime use; Radio tunes can be purchased for $1.99 each but you can trade a mile for a radio tune.</p>
<p>Or would you rather skate like a dog.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hat Tip: <a href="http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=189324">Onenewsnow</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Dr. Bridget Melson practices in the San Francisco Bay area. She says after that fateful day in June, she received an email from a fellow therapist who invited all her colleagues to attend an ACLU function that would teach them how to oppose California&#8217;s Proposition 8 &#8212; the constitutional marriage amendment question set for the November ballot.</p>
<p>Melson responded with a mass return email to multiple users on the message board and networking blog saying that, as a Christian, she was &#8220;offended&#8221; by the email and felt it was &#8220;inappropriate.&#8221; And then, she says, the sparks started to fly. &#8220;Because of that email I got all kinds of hate mail,&#8221; Melson adds. &#8220;I was called a homophobe [and] intolerant.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
