Timely News Item Of The Day

While it's drawn little attention across the blogs, recently Politico cited this new and rather ugly Planned Parenthood attack on John McCain. A second link below goes to the substance behind this attack.

Planned Parenthood Action Fund has a tough new ad responding to McCain's attack on Obama's support for some sex-ed for kindergartners. The ad defends Obama, and suggests McCain is indifferent to the plight of sexually abused children.

"Every eight minutes a child is sexually abused. That's why Barack Obama supported legislation to teach children how to protect themselves. Now John McCain is twisting the facts and attacking Senator Obama," says the female narrator, over images that suggest abused children.

The issue at hand isn't whether or not children as young as five might not benefit from some wise counsel as to what is, or isn't appropriate touching, or how to look out for themselves in the event they are confronted by a stranger. Such counsel has been taking place within families for generations. And I'd have no complaint with a PSA supported by Planned Parenthood encouraging parents to have just such a conversation with their child.

But who is in a better position to counsel a child in such a way? Their parent, or parents, or so many school systems already struggling to teach the most basic of academic skills ... and apparently unable to keep the wolves outside the door in at least some cases?

PHOENIX -- A sex offender who posed as a 12-year-old boy to enroll in Arizona schools has pleaded guilty to seven criminal charges.

Authorities said he shaved and wore pancake makeup to appear younger, convincing teachers, students and administrators that he was a boy named Casey.

The nanny state can keep it's deviant teachings to themselves.

When my kids were five years old they were not quite ready to hear about strange homosexual relationships like chris/boob's.

How is that legislation in California going, SAc... I heard something on WND about the CA senate passing a bill that requires a certain amount of instruction/indoctrination in middle schools and up on LGBT relationships as being "perfectly normal" and even "enviable"?

It's really sad that the liberal nanny-staters can't keep their filth out of our schools, much less howl like mad monkeys whenever the words "God" and "Jesus" are mentioned within 100 meters of public property.

(Of course, "Allah" and the names of other false gods get a free pass).

I could list endless reasons why teaching very young children about sexual predators by a school system is not the best idea in the world. But I'll spare you all my novel length response to *that* aspect of the issue.

However, I find Obama's little sheep a little misleading in their charge that perhaps McCain supports pedophiles, or his campaigns stand that he doesn't see a need to protect children... especially given Obama's own stand on the issue- which wasn't about a bunch of 5 year olds who he'd never met, but it was about his OWN daughters. The fact that he, and his people were OKAY with the idea of a pedophile parading photos of his children on a pro-pedophilia website for NINE months (only changing the tune once the major media caught wind of it) sort of shows where he really stands.

Sort of like when he wants to say how he'll help families, but his own family members live in shacks. Now, he wants to spare our children from predators, while not worrying about the ones using his children as sexual fantasies.

Oh, and I've got the two year old email to prove this.

yes Obama and Planned Parenthood go way back....in December 21,2007 in a story by Lynn Sweet of CHICAGO sun-times
pertaining to abortion-related roll calls it says Obama voted "present" not to duck taking a stand but to help provide political cover to law-makers who did not hold a "safe seat like he did...this was done under an arrangementhe had worked out with the registered lobbyist for the Illinois Planned Parenthood.....Pam Sutherland...remember Obama has repeatedly said he would cut out the influence of lobbyists.

"--- Obama and Planned Parenthood go way back.... ---"

Oh, yes indeed. Mr. "Kills Babies by putting them in Trash Cans in the Janitor Closet" certainly is a class act when it comes to taking care of OTHER people's children, much less his impoverished cousins living in holes in the ground and various temporary structures on less than $100/month.

Either way just like the school in Kenya he promised to help and shafted:
