Luck Saves Bush from Being Nixon II
Luck may Save Bush from Being Nixon II
Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers’ nomination was over on October 26 when the Washington Post reported that she urged voters to support feminist candidates such as Gloria Steiner and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
According to the Post, Miers "said in a speech more than a decade ago that ‘self-determination’ should guide decisions about abortion and school prayer and that in cases where scientific facts are disputed and religious beliefs vary, ‘government should not act.’"
I knew before the report that a Katina storm was going hit Bush. I was receiving waves of emails, such as the one below, of a revolt from of the President’s base supporters.
If Bush didn’t replace Miers, his presidency was about to hit the dustbin of history.
He was about to lose more than 50% of his base, the pro-life and pro-family voters, as his vice president’s chief of staff was being indicted for lying to a grand jury and his political director Karl Rove was still under investigation.
Hard as it is to believe, the Democrats really believe that Bush is a Hitler. They are ready to attempt a Nixon on Bush. Reagan and Clinton were able to survive ouster because their base remained loyal.
Bush, a trusting man, believed his loyal friend Miers despite the protests of his base. He is lucky that the Washington Post clearly showed her pro-abortion and anti-school prayer skeletons before it was too late.
Luck may have saved Bush from being Nixon II.

Dear friends and family,
There is growing evidence that Pres. Bush's nominee for the Supreme Court,
Harriet Miers, is in fact not a political conservative, nor is there any
convincing evidence so far that she would be a constructionist (i.e.
interpret the Constitution according to the meaning the Founding Fathers
gave it, rather than invent new laws and meanings according to the
justice's own political ideology, also known as legislating from the
bench). Legislation from the bench has just about destroyed this country
over the last 40 years, and has an impact on every aspect of society. We
are now so far gone that there is no longer any room for candidates whose
actual views and philosophy are unknown.
Pres. Bush promised to give us Supreme Court nominees "in the mold of
Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas." Miers definitely doesn't fit that
description, according to what is known about her already. There are
several other excellent candidates that he could have nominated.
Several pro-family or conservative organizations have now broken ranks with
Pres. Bush over this choice (in addition to lots of criticism from numerous
highly respected conservative commentators). They have put together this
web site, to rally support behind a campaign to pressure him to withdraw
this nomination, which is now splitting apart the pro-family and
conservative coalition that put him into office. They provide e-mail
addresses for the White House, a petition you can sign, and lots of
background info. on Miers. Among the groups supporting this web site are
the highly respected Eagle Forum, founded by Phyllis Schafly. Schlafly has
a reputation for telling the truth, regardless of which political sacred
cows she skewers, whether in the Republican or Democatic camp.
Those of you who are pro-life and pro-family activisits should be
particularly concerned. A constructionist approach to the Constitution
would have prevented the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion,
since there is in fact nothing in the Constitution that allows killing
unborn babies. Instead the Supreme Court legislated from the bench by
inventing a non-existent right to privacy they claim that the Constitution
allows. The more recent Lawrence decision invented a Constitutional right
to engage in sodomy and would lay the foundation for an eventual
legalization of homosexual "marriage" unless we have some saner judges on
the Supreme Court. We don't really know if Miers would be a constructionist.
It still remains to be seen how Chief Justice John Roberts will rule on
crucial issues. We simply have no margin for a candidate as wobbly as
Miers, in my opinion.
If interested, you can check out this web site, and if you share my
concerns, you can feel like you are at least able to do something to try to
stop this disaster.
Thanks for your time and consideration. If she does get confirmed, then we
can pray that she (and the other justices) will make wise decisions.

Why do Catholic Schools Have a Homosexual Agenda?
Why do Catholic Schools have a Homosexual Agenda?
The Wanderer, a Catholic weekly, reported Zogby International in a survey of 1,003 high school students found that 80% of Catholic seniors believe homosexuals should have the right to marry while only two-thirds of the total of all demographic high school senior groups in the survey claimed gay marriages should be legal. In recent polls only "about one-third of adults" said gay marriages should be legal.
Dennis Gilbert of Hamilton College, in Clinton, N.Y., who did the survey, said that “large majorities of seniors take pro-gay positions on relevant gay issues. And virtually every definable demographic group took these positions,“ apart from evangelical or “born-again” Christians, said the Wanderer.
According to Father X- a priest in the San Jose Diocese who must remain anonymous- the diocese document "Pastoral Guidelines for Ministry to Homosexuals in the Diocese of San Jose "contributes to the ethical confusion on homosexuality among Catholic high school students because it has no "moral component."
This diocese document claims the "premise that individuals do not choose and cannot change their sexual orientation but must understand it and integrate it into their life of faith and conscience."
"There is a presumption in the diocese that homosexuality has a biological basis. This, in part, originally came from the Kinsey report, which lead to gay safe zones in the public schools and were eventually followed by the Catholic schools," Father X said.
"The problem is that a lot of Catholic teachers and theologians feel that they need to filter the churches teachings according to their philosophical agenda or they won't teach it."
According to James Likoudis, a nationally known writer on Catechetic and Sex Education, the reason Catholic high school students are pro-homosexual is that the church documents are filtered out. Likoudis said:
"The Vatican documents "The Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality" intended to remove corrupting sex education programs in Catholic schools is a dead letter in this country- as can be seen in the continued proliferation of Catholic sex education programs in practically every diocese."
In the Diocese of San Jose, there are some problems with the sex education programs. Frank A. Scanlon, a student at Bellermine Catholic high school said, "There's no gay slant at Bellermine, even though at a retreat, one kid came out that he was gay. But, they taught us about condoms, and if you have sex use them."
" A lot of the kids consider their religion class a joke." Frank D. Scanlon, the father of Frank A., said," They had one priest who didn't want to impose the Catholic faith because of the non-Catholics in the class. He didn’t want to make them feel uptight."
Also, Father X recalled," A parent came to me, in 1994, saying that one book of a seventh grade class was pornographic in a Santa Clara Catholic school. The book had stuff on how to put on condoms, and if you urinate on a partner make sure you don't do it on the eyes or ears."
Father organized a group of parents who meet with the principal and pastor. The principal and pastor defended the teacher's right to use the book. But, when they went to the diocese superintendent of schools it was found to be against the diocese's policy. The book was taken out despite the teacher's complaints.
Parents in the Oakland Diocese had a different experience with a sex ed program called New Creation. Catholics United for the Faith, a Catholic information apostolate in Steubenville, Ohio, has faulted New Creation for its "graphic illustrations that offend against modesty and chastity;" for "emphasizing information over formation;" and for "violating the latency period."
In 1998, the principal of St. Bede's of the Oakland Diocese told parents that their children either had to attend the New Creation classes or they would have to quit the school. When the SF Faith asked the superintendent of schools for the Oakland Diocese, Anne Manchester if mandatory attendance at these classes contradicted the guidelines in Educational Guidance in Human Love, she responded the site (St. Bede's) could make the decision.
The state of affairs in San Jose public schools is a few steps more developed with homosexuality being considered just another ethnic group or normal human condition. A heterosexual recent graduate of Gunderson high school, Robert Davila said," The school is diverse- they have Hispanic clubs and Gay clubs. They demonstrate how to use condoms so you won't get aids."
The troubles in Catholic schools,as shown above, are only part of the problem since the vast majority of Catholic high school students go to public schools. In public schools, parents have no chance of getting offensive sex ed books removed. Since in the fall of 2000, Governor Davis signed legislation that went into effect on January 1,that mandated California public schools expose homosexuality, bisexuality, transvestitism, transexuality, and other lifestyles to all grade levels, including kindergarten.
The only place the Catholic public school students are going to get the sexual moral teachings of the church on a continuous basis is at the pulpit. Father X remembers former San Jose Diocese Bishop Pierre DuMaine saying, "For the vast majority of Catholics-the only religious talk they will hear is the homily and the only literature they are going to read is the bulletin. So, what does that tell you about their importance?"
Before Vatican II, it was the practice in the United States for Bishops to have a syllibi or schedules for the year's parish homilies where the specific moral and faith teachings were to be systematically presented.
According to Father X the Homiletic and Pastoral Review reported that many priests have made a case that the church in America needs to return to the syllibi. Likoudis, on the other hand, believes the problem is in the "silence from the pulpits on Catholic sexual ethics by cowardly priests and bishops- or who are sympathetic to the dissenters. Therefore, a decadent media morality has replaced Christian and Catholic morality in our culture. The Sex Educators active in public and parochial schools represent that media morality "
Most Catholics get their morality from the media. Father X said, for example, that the U.S. Bishops statement on stem cell research was good, but he knew practicing Catholics who never heard of it. All they heard was what the media presented. Until the church has an organized effort to educate the mass of Catholics, there is only one way to educate. The orthodox Catholic priest must give homilies on the specific moral issues. Also, they need to do a write up in the bulletin that is mentioned during the homily.
Father X believes the Catholic clergy from the Vatican to the local parish priest need to be more "users friendly" in writing and speech. Because of the media culture, the high school students find it hard to listen when language is too philosophical or technical. Another problem in the teaching of sexual morality is homosexuals who have got into the priesthood. Likoudis said" There has been a strong homosexual network operating in the Church by those who have infiltrated our seminaries to find refuge there."
" There are some homosexuals in the priesthood, but it's not an official network. It's not in the open, but you can pick it up," Father X said.
"They don't contradict the moral teachings of the church instead their method is to question the foundations of the moral teachings-scriptures and tradition. Then they bring in psychology and biology to support their agenda."

Is Vic Morrow's TV SeriesCombat Art?
Is Vic Morrow's TV Series Combat Art?
I just finished watching the recently released first season of Vic Morrow’s TV series Combat on DVD. It shows the honor and goodness that our culture still had in the 60’s.Morrow’s character the Sarge is to this day, for me, an image of what a hero should be.
Tough and courageous, but compassionate.Vic Morrow played the hero and on the set he was a hero.
The assistant director of Combat Michael Caffey in the audio commentary for the Combat DVD had this to say about Morrow:
“He was very nice person. He never yelled at anyone...He was very quiet when he had something to say... He had a 104 temperature in one show. He was there. He should have been in the hospital. It’s a wonder it didn’t kill him. He was just tremendous. He reached down into a tank and pulled someone out in one show and got a double hernia. So they put the little belts on him and he went right on acting. He was an amazing man. He was very knowledgeable about film and what it could do. It was pleasure to have him...I can’t speak highly enough of him. ”
Tom Lowell, who played Billy in the series, said on an audio commentary for the DVD that “Vic” didn’t care about the “series being successful, he wanted it to be good.” Before it was ever shot “Vic and the director” would go over the script for hours to make sure it was “good.”Yes, Vic
Morrow on Combat was a hero. He showed us that being a hero always begins with being good in our day-in and day-out life.And as Caffey said “He was very knowledgeable about film and what it could do,” so Morrow knew what he was doing in creating a heroic model as an actor and director in the series.
I know that I’ve said the following many times, but it needs to be repeated. What our American and global culture needs are heroes as models.
Steve Ditko, the artist and co-creator of Spider-Man says:
"Aristotle said that art is more important than history. History tells how man did act. Art shows how man should and could act. It creates a model.” "The self-flawed and anti-hero provide the heroic label without the need to act better. A crooked cop, a flawed cop, is not a valid model of a good law enforcer," Ditko said."An anti-cop corrupts the legal good, and an anti-hero corrupts the moral good."
According to one website, Morrow’s character the Sarge was a model for the soldier in the Vietnam:“I have a cousin who did 13 months as a Marine grunt in Nam back in 68-69. He said that in the area he was in, the South Vietnamese Army Commanders showed reruns of Vic Morrow's early sixties series COMBAT! to their troops. They thought old Vic was a badder ass than John Wayne himself. They went nuts for the guy. Years later, I bought a book on armored units used in the Vietnam War... I found a photograph in it of an ARVN tank circa. 1968, with VIC MORROW scrawled across the turret in huge white letters.”

Some might say this is a bad example because a small number of soldiers in that war did dishonorable acts. But the vast majority of the soldiers in the Vietnam War who were honorable were so because of models in art and real life who were like the Sarge.
