Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue, oh, oh, oh
now don't get me wrong people can believe what they want to believe about anything..what it all boils down to is who I'd have sex with..Elizabeth or Mickey..if they both were naked in my living room arranging flowers, I'd go for Beth and show Mickey the door...now if it was between Mickey and Jerry Falwell...well Jerry had that baby fat and was kinda cutesy. ..so it's a toss up
they use the bible to justify their fears..these fears are of course irrational..fear of socialism, gays, unions, Democrats, blacks, teletubbies, and so on..that my friends is called "negative energy"
so Jerry Falwell started a school in, get this, Lynchberg, Virginia..Liberty University....it's one of the recommended school from the Young Miss America Foundation..Jerry Falwell was fixated on the gay lifestyle and therefore was a closet gay himself like J.Edgar Hoover, another great American (according to conservative Christians)....both these dudes was a couple of bitches!!
The mission of Liberty University is, "to develop Christ-centered men and women with the values, knowledge, and skills essential to impact tomorrow’s world." A common motto of the late Rev. Jerry Falwell for Liberty University was, "if it’s Christian it should be better."
In turn, Liberty offers 115 undergraduate areas of study, 24 graduate areas of study and 3 doctoral programs. Notable schools include the Liberty University School of Law, the Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, and the Jesse Helms School of Government.
Liberty University students are known for their theologically, socially, and fiscally conservative views on issues like "…an absolute repudiation of ‘political correctness,’ a strong commitment to political conservatism, total rejection of socialism, and firm support for America’s economic system of free enterprise," among other things.
The experience at Liberty does not stop with the classroom. Dormitories are supervised by a small army of "student leaders" who work to maintain the spiritual and social health of the halls. Liberty mentors one student leader for every five residential students, assuring that no single student is left without adequate social, spiritual, and academic support.

| approved by the Moral Majority! |
The thrice-weekly, university-wide chapel service plays hosts to 60 national leaders each school year. It is considered to be a required stop on the national, conservative campaign trail, and it is North America's largest weekly gathering of Christian young people. In addition, the university has gathered dozens of "Big South Conference Championships" through its 20 NCAA Division 1 sports, it has a national champion debate team, Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs, and hosts numerous special conferences devoted to Biblical and contemporary issues.
the Jesse Helms School of Government!! if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it..Jesse Helms!!! a fey old queen if there ever was one
Jerry Falwell was a fraud, a southern baptist and an absolute ass.. and to think he can "educate" anyone is absurd..the guy was the founder of the so-called "moral majority"....ie like minded bigots....any web search will show this guy for what he was
Falwell Quotes:
"The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'" --on the 9/11 attacks
"He is purple — the gay-pride color, and his antenna is shaped like a triangle — the gay pride symbol." –from a "Parents Alert" issued in Jerry Falwell's National Liberty Journal, warning that "Tinky Winky," a character on the popular PBS children's show, "Teletubbies," may be gay
"Billy Graham is the chief servant of Satan in America." (well I agree with Jerry on that one)
I hope I live to see the day when, as in the early days of our country, we won't have any public schools. The churches will have taken them over again and Christians will be running them. What a happy day that will be!" (didn't happen, Jerry!)
"AIDS is the wrath of a just God against homosexuals. To oppose it would be like an Israelite jumping in the Red Sea to save one of Pharaoh's charioteers ... AIDS is not just God's punishment for homosexuals; it is God's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals."
I don't know what it is about the bible belt that produces such batshit crazy people..but looking at the Young Miss America Foundation website, I see a bunch of problems that need addressing
soon.....

I would like to hear more about the Young Americans Foundation. If the News-Press reporters do, indeed, all come from this right-wing think tank, then that explains my thoughts about canceling my subscription to the News-Press. The undercurrent of ultra-conservatism is so scary at times that I frequently have questioned whether I should be paying for such biased news coverage. I happened upon this blog by chance, and it has been very enlightening. It's a shame that the owner, Wendy McCaw, could not use her resources in a better way: the publish an honest and fair paper that takes on a variety of viewpoints. As it is, the current editorial slant is embarrassingly one-side. If much of the staff was fired on the excuse of writing from a biased viewpoint as your blog states, then I can hardly image what the paper used to be like. I am new to Santa Barbara and will give it a few more weeks of delivery, but if it continues feeling as lopsided to the right as it does, I will be changing my paper to the LA Times. I'll miss the local news, but not the editorial prejudices.
Why wait to cancel your subscription to the News Press. There will be no change toward balanced content until the current owner and editors are gone. As you said the editorial slant is one-sided. So the entire content is also one-sided simply by omitting stories not suitable for the slant. The people I know that subscribe are very narrow minded and are both seemingly naive or innocent of their narrowness, denseness.
