Christian Family Values Update
A 47 year old employee of the Tupelo, MS AMERICAN FAMILY ASSOCIATION will face Child Pornography charges this month. The man, who produced a Children's Show for AMERICAN FAMILY RADIO is also charged with using materials shipped in interstate commerce to produce the pictures. The defendant claims the age of the girl in the photos can not be determined!?!?! A federal judge refused to throw out the evidence. Charges include "coercing a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing pictures." He, no doubt, is a member of the gop base; a man ed gillespie can rely on.

1. Well
I can't really speak for anybody else, but those don't sound like Christian family values to me? I mean do you believe most Christian Familes include Child Pornographers?

6. Not only Bill Bennett but Newt Gingrich, Strom Turmonond, Trent Lott
The Gov. of Conneticut, Ryan from Illinois, Pigboy...The list of hypocrisy really could be endless with some thought! Republicans and their morals, you just gotta love it!

4. Hypocrites vs real followers
It seems to me that those that trumpet their faith the loudest are those that have the most to hide. Although I do not share their beliefs I find that the quiet followers of the teachings of Jesus are overall the more decent human beings(compared to the louder followers) and seem to be able to get beyond the fact that I do not share a one particular singular idea with them. Instead they find that there are a great number of other ideas they can share with people and find ways to live in peace.

EDIT: complete my thought for me....

He wanted them to have another plane go to Houston just for him and his zombies.

9. It's just not fair to bring this up
without bringing up the sagas of Neil "Silverado" Bush, and "Marvelous" Marvin Bush -- brothers of our erstwhile pResident*


Neil of course is famed for his shady dealings at the Silverado bank, when he picked taxpayers pockets big time during the S & L Republican Family Banking Values Scandal, and now he is earning more karma by ditching his wife for his mistress (more to come on this).

Bad Boy Marvin Bush was overjoyed recently to find -- and then romp with -- an underage prostitute, who was seemingly provided for him by the Evil Red Chinese. How embarassing.

You won't be reading about this in any newspapers nor will you see it on TV, however. After all, the corporate media has "values" to maintain (unless, of course, they can show a naked breast or something to titillate everyone and boost ratings).

So, in the future, please be fair an don't single out members of the Ms. American Family Association, or anything like that. It's just not fair. Every Republican advocate of Family Values deserves 15 minutes or so or fame, or infamy, or whatever.
