PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY by WNCCB2 (name removed by author's request. He is being stalked online and legal proceedings are underway. [Thunder Pig 2008 07 12]
I had a lot of sympathy for the parents of the missing 4-year-old girl who disappeared while they vacationed in Portugal. Who wouldn’t?
Until I read the details. Funny how those change your perspective. Buried in paragraph five of a recent story is the incriminating statement:
“The girl vanished May 3 after her parents left her, and her brother and sister, both aged 2, alone while they went to a nearby restaurant within their hotel complex in Portugal's Algarve region, a popular European tourist destination.”
Excuse me. I may be old-fashioned. But isn’t this child abuse? I mean, who leaves two two-year-olds and a four-year-old alone, EVER? And who goes to a foreign country to go to a restaurant while their children are God knows where? I don't care if you are going into the next room to use the bathroom. You have to either take your toddler with you or watch them with the door open.
I know they will say that the kids were in a locked apartment. So great. They can only incinerate themselves with the stove, fall out a window or impale themselves on something. At least they were inside. Alone.
Instead of offering reward money, the celebrities involved should demand these parents get a psych exam. It takes less the two seconds for a toddler to hurt themselves in a myriad of ways when left alone. You have to be completely vigilant and even then accidents happen. This was no accident.
This story reminds me of the time I found a three year old wandering the streets at 2 a.m. in a rough part of town while on an investigation. I called the police to retrieve him. I could not believe a child was allowed to just wander in the pitch black along the roads, among dogs, cars, and drug dealers. How responsible. I wager those parents were in a drug stupor exercising their freedoms by ignoring their children.
I know the free-for-all liberals would say, “the parents had a right to enjoy themselves at the restaurant.” Yeah. I have no faith children of such parents will actually reach adulthood.
EDUCATION AHEAD
Here’s an eye opener. Have a child, become totally responsibly for everything that happens to that child for the next eighteen years minimum. If you cannot take that responsibility then don’t have children. I cannot imagine leaving my child alone for any length of time. Ever. Our child is with us or in the company of a trusted guardian, period.
I hope they find that girl soon. I hope she is okay. I hope some kind soul found her wandering and let her in to feed her cookies and just doesn’t have a television or any idea who to ask about her.
But we all know that’s probably not what happened.
Those parents should lose their other children and face jail time.
What they did leaving those children alone so they could dine was a crime.
But that’s where we’ve come to in our liberal society. Kids are just a by-product apparently. At least, that’s how a lot of parents treat them. And we wonder why so many sociopaths are emerging.
Don’t bother looking for this kind of analysis from the mainstream media or liberal pundits. They are all too busy celebrating the death of Jerry Fallwell today. Like he was evil or something. The liberals I’ve known are generally sick and twisted people who have convinced themselves that conservative, responsible people are the ones who need mental exams.

NC Senate Votes To Junk Constitutional Electoral College
5/15/2007 06:26:00 AMNorth Carolina moved a big step closer to joining a national movement that could lead to the president of the United States being elected by popular vote.
The state Senate, by a 30-18 partisan vote, passed legislation that would direct North Carolina's Electoral College delegates to vote for the presidential candidate with the most votes nationwide -- not the one with the most votes in the state -- if the national movement proves successful. So far, only Maryland has signed on, but more than 40 states are considering legislation that could bring them on board as well.
The movement comes after two close national presidential elections in which Republican George Bush came out the winner. In the 2000 election, the popular vote went to Democrat Al Gore, but Bush won the majority of electoral votes cast by the states. In 2004, the close vote in Ohio -- which Bush ultimately won -- drew lawsuits because if it had swung Democratic, John Kerry would have been elected president even though he hadn't won the popular vote.
Raleigh News and Observer
An important Item to remember is that the vote was partisan, Democrats For, Republicans Against.
Democrats for the usurpation of your Constitutional Rights, Republicans against the usurpation of your Constitutional Rights.
If we are not careful, this will result in the top 100 US. Cities deciding who will be President, and we all know how they vote...meaning no Republican Presidents again, ever! (And Certainly No Conservatives !!!)
Read the Wikipedia article on the national progress of the Illegal Interstate Compact..
Call your State Critters to lodge your protest, and begin planning questions to ask them about the vote when they run for re-election.

C2ActionGram: Democrat Leaders in NC House Force Irresponsible"Sexuality"-Education Bill Through Health Committee!
5/06/2007 08:12:00 AMFriends,
In a stunning and very public abuse of power during Tuesday's committee meeting, the Democrat leadership (Ray Rapp, Madison Co. and Bob England, Rutherford Co.) not only refused to hear testimony from anyone who opposed the Sex-Ed bill (H879), they didn't even allow a formal vote to be taken! "Why not?" you ask? Read what the bills author, Rep. Susan Fisher (D) of Buncombe County told the Charlotte Observer after the fiasco took place:
Fisher acknowledged after the hearing that the bill may not have had the votes to pass the committee, and moving it ahead may give time for support to grow.
"I am not a gambler," she said. "We want to give people a chance to think about what they heard and see if it makes any difference down the road." (you can read the article here)
In other words...they knew they might lose an actual vote, and since Rep. Fisher in her own words is "not a gambler", they chose to abuse their power by...
- SILENCING THE OPPOSITION.
- IGNORING ANOTHER LEGISLATOR'S VERY VOCAL CRIES OF "OBJECTION! OBJECTION!"
- MOVING THE BILL FORWARD WITHOUT A FORMAL, COUNTED VOTE.
The BAD NEWS is that they have no problem abusing their power and they have the backing of national groups like Planned Parenthood...our nation's #1 murderer of unborn children, and NARAL...who called the recent Supreme Court decision to uphold the ban on partial-birth abortions, "Unthinkable" . Right behind them are NC groups like The Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Coalition of NC (check out their gloating email here), Equality NC (our states #1 homosexual activist group - see their announcement here) and the North Carolina chapter of the ACLU.
The GOOD NEWS is that your efforts are making a huge impact and forcing them to pull out all the stops without regard for ethics. We can win this fight if we all do our part!
Before we proceed, please remember:
- These radical groups have changed the name of this curriculum from "Sex Education" to "Sexuality Education" (a subtle change, but a nightmare in it's effect). They are going way beyond presenting their version of the truth about contraceptives to an active promotion of all kinds of irresponsible, harmful and deviant sexual activities! That's not in the bill itself, but it IS in the curriculum it will force on our children. Check out some shocking examples here.
- They point to polls showing parents want "sex education", which is true in and of itself, but the most recent poll by Zogby (released TODAY, MAY 4th) clearly shows parents want the focus of "sex education" to be...you guessed it...ABSTINENCE! Check out the Zogby information here.
- Finally, you can read an excellent overview of the benefits of Abstinence Education written by our friends at the NC Family Policy Council. Check it out here.
HERE IS WHAT MUST BE DONE
- The bill has moved to the House Education Subcommittee on Pre-School, Elementary and Secondary Education, so we must focus our attention on the 14 members of that committee! (their contact information is at the bottom of this email)
- The email barrage from both sides has been enormous, so house members will most likely just delete them from here on out. Send them an email anyway, but understand this: We must call them at home this weekend and then at the legislature starting Monday afternoon! Please don't be afraid to call them at home...they are public servants, but more importantly, the well-being of North Carolina school children is at stake. Leaving a message is ok, but you MUST keep calling until you speak with them directly (always pray before you do!).
- If one of the Subcommittee members is YOUR REPRESENTATIVE, your contact is CRITICAL! If you don't know who your Representative is, go here.
House Bill 879 could be heard and "voted" on as early as next Tuesday, May 8th, so we don't have any time to lose! YOU MUST ACT TODAY AND EVERYDAY UNTIL THIS BILL IS DEAD! Please understand that the other side will be relentless, so we must exceed them in that regard. Our friends at the North Carolina Family Policy Council have put together a tremendous brief that you should print and read before calling. You can find it here.
Finally, but most importantly, we need to "pray without ceasing" that God would intervene and equip us to win this battle.
As always, thank you so much for joining us "on the wall" (Nehemiah 2:17).
In His Service,
Steve Noble, Chairman
House Education Subcommittee
