It turns out that 40% of the “big’deal” budget cuts were proposed by Bush and rejected by the Dimwit controlled Congress in 2008.

Amazing, isn’t it?

How ’bout we “cut” the entire WH executive food service and staff. After all, o-blah-blah and gang are good with burgers and pizza. Chicken to go, too, .. probably.

Your right, Catie. His ego won’t allow him to do such a thing. And to think of all the Catholics I know who voted for him because of the “he is so good on everything else so naturally abortion rates will drop”. What a croc!

I wasn’t aware that she was one of BOs professors (sp?). Kinda cool. Sounds like she is in a good place to be aware of his BS. Too bad the admin at ND aren’t.

Celina, I don’t remember her name but she was actually supposed to be one of his profs at Harvard while he was in law school. No, I don’t think he should be graced with an honorary degree. But could you see him declining that degree, not on his ego.

I don’t want to be vulgar but let me give you a little scenario. Let’s teach those kids all about rubbers (that is what they are isn’t it) and get them screwing each other to beat the band and then something like this happens. “Oh baby this sure would feel better for me and you of course without this glove” “Yea I know what you mean and I do want to make my man happy?” Nine months latter guess what. Keep fooling yourself. My wife and I got our last boy just that way. Just remember “If it feels good they will do it”

“Has S&L commented on this issue before?”

Apart from a couple of the related articles linked above, I don’t know.

But I thought it was obviously absurd to say that abstinence causes pregnancy and STDs.

Whoops, no! Has S&L commented on this issue before?

“SG, not to be obnoxious, but what studies are you using to show that “abstinence only” education is effective in reducing teen pregnancy rates?”

I was being facetious. I thought it was obvious.

SG, not to be obnoxious, but what studies are you using to show that “abstinence only” education is effective in reducing teen pregnancy rates?

Let me say where I’m coming from. . .20+ years in the field of HIV/AIDS, and I saw a supression under Bush of public health agencies being allowed to say anything about the effectiveness of condoms. Condoms was effectively a dead subject.

So, what happens when all those kids decide abstinence is just too much? Do they have the knowledge from their school programs to reduce their risk of HIV and STDs by using condoms?

My personal preference is to go back to the Clinton years, when abstinence was touted as the only sure way to avoid pregnancy and STDs, BUT if sex did happen, condoms offered protection.

Well we all know that cutting the nads off the military is his primary focus. From there on it’s all downhill. You can almost profile with great accuracy on how all democratic presidents cut and spend once they get into the Oval Office.

I liked that too. Isn’t it funny how abstinence doesn’t work but condoms seem to work even if one leaves them in the bathroom drawer?

I agree with you, mostly. I think that they should withdrawal the offer of an honorary doctorate. I don’t have much of a problem with him speaking, it is honoring him that really bothers me.

I have a lot of respect for the woman (and I am totally blanking out on her name) who was supposed to receive the Laetere Medal at the same ceremony as well as speak on the same dais as Obama. She declined the honor because it appears that she was being used as a “see, we know what the Church teaches” prop. I wish I could find a link for you. It is pretty sad that it has come to this. If BO had any class at all, maybe he would decline the honorary doctorate.

As with “pro-choice” supposed Catholics, I don’t understand why they would identify as Catholics, calling themselves a member of the Church or accept it’s accolades if the Church is just so wrong on such a huge issue.

“In fact, abstinence has been scientifically proven to cause pregnancies and sexually transmitted disease.”

I like that. I wouldn’t be surprised if our media starting talking this up, maybe even find some made up statistics to back this up.

I've linked to your post from White House • Obama's Agendas with a few quotations.

Celina, you would think right? I doubt there are ever adoptions out of there or one or two at the most. I keep reading that STDs amongst high school and college kids are rampant with herpes being at the top of the list. My friend works as a civilian nurse at Tripler in Hawaii and she said you’d be surprised at the number of Soldiers who come in with herpes and how much the Army spends on Valtrex. But it looks like Sex Ed has failed quite a few people doesn’t it?
OT: but what do you feel about Obama going to Notre Dame next weekend? My friend Suzy’s family has withdrawn all of their monies to the university and my old Company Commander who is also a graduate and also named Catie said she will never give anything else to her Alma Mater and neither will her husband or his family. It’s a mistake but they can’t “un-invite” him now I guess.
