Homoism might be caused by a virus, gotten as a fetus which changes the brain. So it can be cured, not like genes in black people.

ken..."Homo Sexuals did not choose to be born that way. Most of them, if given the choice, would choose to be Heterosexual".....

Ken, No offence but that is a stupid statement. IMO if someone is born a homo then he is what he is and is not likely to want to change.. As you said he was born that way.

And IMO a lot of homosexuals are of the learned behavior type and they may choose or want to change back to heterosexual ..the way they were born.

Warning: American Gestapo ahead
July 04, 2009

Every July 4, we retreat to fireworks, feast and festival in celebration of an independence that is rapidly becoming little more than a memory. Our ancestors declared their independence in 1776 from a tyrannical, overbearing government. The independence claimed by the authors of the U.S. Constitution helped them create a government expressly prohibited from becoming tyrannical and overbearing, by limiting its power to certain enumerated responsibilities. Those limitations have long been ignored, and the current government makes no apology for its overbearing tyranny.

Just as American independence was foreshadowed by a tea party in Boston, America's new independence is foreshadowed by tea parties across the nation. There is more evidence that a new declaration is being drafted. Currently, 36 states have approved or are considering some form of state sovereignty resolution. Several states are following Montana's example, enacting laws that defy federal intervention. More than a dozen states have enacted or are considering legislation that prohibits the federal government from imposing a mandatory National Animal Identification System. These are symptoms of a society that is dissatisfied with the long train of abuses government continues to inflict upon it.

As the modern-day freedom fighters begin to organize and strategize, the government chooses not to reform, but to entrench and expand its control over the people.

The similarity is remarkable, between the rise of the Democratic Socialist Party now in control of Washington and the rise of the National Socialist Workers Party of Germany in the 1930s.

Are we headed for a Nazi-style totalitarian abyss? Find out in "Defeating the Totalitarian Lie: A Former Hitler Youth Warns America"

Led by an articulate orator, the German government set out to nationalize health care, transportation, manufacturing and law enforcement. The Obama government has set out to nationalize manufacturing of autos and the finance industry. The Obama-backed "cap and trade" legislation will effectively nationalize the energy and transportation industries. And Obama's nationalized health care program is on the front burner.

Now here's another similarity: nationalization of law enforcement. H.R. 675, sponsored by Democrat Rep. Bob Filner, was introduced to:

Provide police officers, criminal investigators, and game law enforcement officers of the Department of Defense with the authority to execute warrants, make arrests, and carry firearms. (Emphasis added.)
Why do employees of the Department of Defense need the authority to execute warrants, make arrests and carry firearms? When the bill was introduced, Filner said: "We need to ensure that federal, state and local law enforcement are able to work together to apprehend criminals and to prevent and solve crimes."

The 1878 Posse Comitatus Act explicitly prohibits the Department of Defense from involvement in state and local law enforcement activities. The feds have the FBI to investigate federal crimes and the Justice Department to prosecute federal crimes. Waco and Ruby Ridge are good examples of federal law enforcement. And the land management agencies have gun-totin' enforcement officers to prevent tourists from picking up arrowheads on federal property. Why do we need to authorize the secretary of defense to arm another domestic police force?

Take a clue from the authorities granted by the bill:

To execute and serve warrants;
To make arrests without warrants;
To carry firearms;
To enforce federal laws enacted to protect persons or property;
To prevent breaches of the peace and suppress affrays or unlawful assemblies. …
There are other authorities, but let's focus on this last one: "To prevent breaches of the peace and suppress affrays or unlawful assemblies." What is an unlawful assembly? Any assembly that is not authorized by government is unlawful. Should an irate society decide to hold a tea party even if government refused to authorize it, then there must be a reliable federal law enforcement army to "suppress" the unlawful assembly. Local police cannot be trusted to "suppress" an assembly of their neighbors.

(Column continues below)



In Germany, this police force was called the Gestapo. In Germany, the people who resisted the nationalization of anything were immediately branded as "right-wing extremist" and denounced and ridiculed by government officials and by the press. Watch the government and press response to the April tea parties.

These people who assemble peacefully to protest government policies are described as "Astroturf" pawns of corporate interests by Speaker Pelosi, and as "ignorant rednecks" by Janeane Garofalo. Assemblies such as these were outlawed in 1930s Germany. They can be outlawed, and are being outlawed or otherwise prevented, in this country today.

The July 4 Atlanta tea party scheduled since March was abruptly canceled June 18 when a major donor to the Democratic Socialist Party now in control of Washington exerted sufficient influence to have permission to use the property withdrawn.

Americans can't comprehend the possibility that the federal government could ever become as oppressive as Germany in the 1930s. Think again. How many bills are now floating around that seek to either register guns or outlaw them completely? This was one of the first objectives of the 1930s German government. Once the guns were registered, the Gestapo knew exactly where to go to confiscate them.

Is this why the Democrats in Washington now want to create a federal domestic police force?

Independence and individual freedom are not virtues to Democratic Socialists; but government control is.

How about this one Kenneth! It is where a white male homosexual democrat Duke University Professional adopted two black toddlers for the purpose of using them for sex. Then he decided to pimp them out. I suppose it was the successful lifestyle he achieved as a gay white professional that led him to sexually assault the toddler.

He didn't discriminate against the young black child. He chose him because it was easier for gay men to adopt black orphans.

Sort that crap out ! I think adoption by gay men should be ended now!

Fort Lauderdale Tea Party protesters declare: End Â?fiscal lunacyÂ?
Tea Party protesters stirred up over government spending

FORT LAUDERDALE - In a sea of red, white and blue, hundreds of anti-tax demonstrators took to the streets in Fort Lauderdale to speak out against government spending and President Obama's policies.

Hoisting a sign with the message "My grandchildren do not deserve fiscal lunacy,'' Frank Sullivan of Tamarac stood in the crowd, hoping to make his point.

Sullivan, a retired police officer, said the president is spending too much too fast to serve a liberal agenda. "You don't appease the bully,'' said Sullivan, referring to liberals.

Dubbed a Tea Party, the protest was one of many held around the country Saturday. They drew on the symbolism of the Boston Tea Party in 1773, when colonists dumped tea into Boston Harbor to protest what they considered an unfair tax.

Organizers estimated that the last such protest in Fort Lauderdale, held in April, drew about 5,000 people.

Initially Saturday's demonstration in Fort Lauderdale was going to be held in a park, but lack of permits shifted the rally to Broward Boulevard, in front of the federal courthouse.

Under a blazing sun, the crowd chanted, "USA.'' Some wore T-shirts with messages like "Obama: How you like him now?'' and "Send Barry back to Kenya.''

Republican Allen West, who unsuccessfully challenged Democratic U.S. Rep. Ron Klein last year, gave a speech promising to help win seats in 2010 and 2012 and put the country back on a more conservative course.

"For Fourth of July it's really remarkable that people would stand out in the heat to express their distrust of our government,'' said radio host Joyce Kaufman on WFTL, AM 850.

Kaufman said people are stirred up because Obama is handling the country's finances all wrong.

"You have to give tax relief to people and grant corporations the money they need to put people back to work,'' she said.

In April, an aide to the Obama administration responded to the criticisms coming out of tea parties, saying they were unfounded since the president is cutting taxes for most Americans, according to The Associated Press.

Javier Alvarez, of North Miami Beach, nabbed one of few spots in the shade Saturday and held a copy of the Declaration of Independence so people passing could see it.

He is against mandating health care reform and the cap-and-trade plan in Congress to deal with climate control.

"The Declaration of Independence used to mean something,'' he said. "But our freedom is being squashed.''
