Why is it that republican and religious and secular conservatives continue make family values an election issue. The issue of family values and morality was ONE of the hallmark reasons for the Republican take-over of congress and it was also used as a theme during Bush’s first run for office.

Read the list of “hypocrites” below and respond whether or not you think that family values was/is a “SMOKE SCREEN” to win favor and votes


POPULAR SCANDALS


1.Senator Larry Craig, recently pleaded guilty to lued homosexual acts in an Airport. He still defiantly claims that he is not gay.

2.Mark Foley, had phone sex and indecent conversations with male pages.

3.George W. Bush, Republican president, accused in a criminal complaint and lawsuit of raping Margie Schoedinger, who later committed suicide. Accused by Tammy Phillips, a former stripper quoted in the National Enquirer in 2000 saying she had an affair with Bush that had ended in 1999

4.Senator David Vitter (R-La) who ran a hard-core platform on traditional family values, name was found on a Madams list. He told his constituents that it was a “private issue” and to leave him alone.

5.Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican governor, had sex with a 16 year old when he was 28.

6.Joe Scarborough, former Republican Congressman, currently a conservative talk show host. Resigned his congressional seat abruptly to spend more time with his family, amidst allegations of an affair. His intern, Lori Klausutis, was soon after found dead in his office. The medical examiner, who had his license revoked in Missouri for falsifying information in an autopsy report, and suspended in Florida for six years, ruled the case an accident, after giving conflicting information about her injuries. He said he lied about them because "The last thing we wanted was 40 questions about a head injury."

7.John E. Peterson, Congressman (R-Pa), accused of sexual harassment and creation of a hostile work environment by six women. Peterson has refused to admit a crime, saying only "I may have been an excessive hugger."

8.Henry Hyde, Judge who oversaw Clinton's impeachment proceedings, prominent opponent of reproductive rights, who had an extramarital affair with a woman who was married and had three children, during the course of which she and her husband were divorced.

9.Newt Gingrich, married three times. Gingrich campaign worker Anne Manning admitted that she gave Newt oral sex while he was still married to his first wife. Informed one wife he was filing for divorce while she was in the hospital recovering from cancer treatments

10.Richard A. Dasen Sr., Republican benefactor of conservative Christian groups, convicted of sexual abuse of children, promotion of prostitution and several counts of solicitation, enough to add up to a sentence of 126 years in prison


Conservative Personalities and Figure Scandals

1.Paul Crouch Televangelist, Former President of Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). Paid $425,000 in hush money in an attempt to cover up a gay affair.
2.Ted Haggard, popular conservative pastor who advised Bush on Family Values issues was outed by a male prostitute who also alleged that he gave Haggard drugs.
3.Rush Limbaugh, triple-divorcee
4.Bill O'Reilly Right-wing conservative talk show host on Fox News, sued for sexual harassment by his producer.
5.Dr. Laura Schlessinger, right wing conservative radio host. Promotes family values, estranged from her mother, opposes birth control, has had her tubes tied, espouses saving oneself for marriage, admits to having had sex before she was married, opposes adultery, has committed adultery while she was married, and has slept with a married man, opposes divorce, is divorced and remarried, has posed for nude photos which are available online.


There are many, many, many more. I know that I am going to be accused of being repub-coserv-basher. I am not, I know the democrats have just as many scandals if not more. However, I think that the whole PLATFORM OF CONSERVATIVE FAMILY VALUES IS A DISINGENIOUS strategy to rally votes and to swing elections. THIS LIST DEMONSTRATES THE FACT THAT NO ONE PRACTICES WHAT THEY PREACH!!!
I also believe that we are all human and everyone makes mistakes, but it is VERY HYPOCRITICAL to impose ideas that these “cultural-icons” don’t keep!
(((What are your thoughts???)))))))

Well Iam a educationist and by the ideas I gained from other teachers i have started to grade the student's homework assignment to encourage them to do better and create a healthy atmosphere of competition, then a problem Iam facing is to what to do with students who dont submit their assignment on time.
If I give them F it might be too harsh and then sometimes those students do great job in their assignment and it doesnt feel right then to give them F. Another option is to lower their grade. Please share your ideas

My son is in 4th grade. He started school a week 1/2 ago. His school implements a discipline program where if you are disrespectufl or irresponsible you have to pull a colored card. You start off with a green card every day and then it goes, yellow, red, blue, and so on. Each card had different consequences. My son has never had a discipline or behaviour problem in this school. Going into this school year, I had heard this teacher was "tough". My son came home on Monday, then Wednesday and then again on Friday saying he had to pull a card. On all days it was for talking. Friday it was for talking during a test (not cheating) and a friend told on him. My son is devastated and I am already at the end of my rope with this teacher. I know my son isn't perfect and that he shouldn't be talking during class, but my GOSH it's 4th grade. Give the kid a warning!! Now he feels like he's being zeroed in on by this teacher and is very self-concious. How should I handle this? I am very concerned.

My cousin is 18 years old and will be 19 in December. He dropped out of school when he was around 16 years old and now he wishes he never had. He made mistakes and hung out with the wrong people and now he really regrets it.

Now that he is living with me I was wondering if you could go back to school regardless of his age. I figured with a new school and new environment he would do better.

Also would he be able to play sports such as football, basketball, and baseball??

If he cant go back to school what could he do to earn a diploma?? Also where could he go to play sports??
