But he's the first black president!

Honestly, I couldn't care less what his skin color is. Saying that is racist. I never want to hear it again.

I simply want to go over very briefly what skin color is down to the very molecules that make us, and why there's no difference, and why this shouldn't reflect an election.

DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is the stuff that codes for proteins, which is what we are made up of. DNA can code for proteins for things like eye color, how quickly your hair grows, hair color, or skin color. A chromosome is the state of DNA when it is tightly packed when a cell is ready to reproduce, usuqally in the shape of an "X". Quite nearlyalmostjustabout every cell in our body has two of all 23 (correct me if that's wrong...I'm going on memory here) chromosomes, every single one of them an exact copy. A section of any pair of chromosomes together is called a gene, a single of them is called an allele. Every gene codes for a protein.

Now that we have an idea for what DNA is, let's get reproduction down. In bisexual reproduction, two gametes meet and form a zygote. Each gamete has only 1 set of chromosomes (hence the "nearlyalmostjustabout" in the previous paragraph), so when the two gametes merge (a sperm and an egg), the new organism has two different sets of chromosomes coding for whatever the parents' did, but both of them! *g* Anyways, most of the time there is a dominant and recessive allele. So, let's say the allele for green eyes is dominant for the allele for blue eyes. That means, whenever just one of the parents has green eyes, the reproduced organism will. However, only if both have blue eyes will the reproduced organism have blue eyes. I don't know if that's the way it really is, it is merely an example. Don't take it for granted that everything I say in my examples is true. It's the overall message that counts, anyway.

There are a hundred different skin colors out there, and every one of them has a different coding. White people can have black kids, they just need to possess the genes for it, which is actually a semi-frequent occurance. It also works vice-versa, and in every other way possibly conceivable. Skin color doesn't change anything.

Sorry, but I have to define racism here. First off, what racism ISN'T!!!
Discrimination against people with black skin color.
I swear, everywhere I go, that's what people seem to think it is. I don't like that. That's not racism. That's not...moral. Discriminating against people with one tiny different gene, just a different skin color, is wrong. No matter what way you put it.

I hope I've helped heal some people. If there are any complaints about this post, I'd appreciate them a lot.

Quick Facts on Barack Obama's Abortion Stance

1. Sanctity of Life: When asked when a baby is entitled to human rights Obama responded that the question was above his pay grade. Obama would recommend abortion for his daughters if they got pregnant because he wouldn't want them to be "punished with a baby."

2. Ratings: Obama is rated 0% by the The National Right to Life Committee. Obama is rated 100% by NARAL.

3. Legislation: Obama is against "conscience-clauses" for pro-life doctors who refuse to do abortions. Obama voted NO on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions. Obama voted NO on prohibiting minors crossing state lines for abortion.

4. Destructive Embryonic Stem Cell Research: Obama voted YES on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines. Obama supports the of human embryos to obtain their stem cells. Obama has signaled that he intends to reverse Bush's controversial limit on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research,

5. Funding Abortion: Obama wants to force taxpayers (and insurance companies) to pay for abortions - supports legislation that would repeal the Hyde Amendment which protects pro-life citizens from having to pay for abortions that are not necessary to save the life of the mother and are not the result of or incest.

6. Partial Birth Abortion: Obama voted against banning the brutal practice of partial-birth abortion.

7. Born Alive Infant Protection Act: Barack Obama voted against and blocked legislation that would have protected infants who were born alive following an unsuccessful abortion (he took a leadership role to kill it). Then he misrepresented his record. Obama called Gianna Jessen, an abortion survivor, a despicable liar after being presented with the truth about his failure to protect babies born alive.

8. Freedom of Choice Act: Barack Obama co-sponsored and supports the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), a radical legislative attempt to enshrine abortion-on-demand into American law, to sweep aside existing laws that the majority of Americans support and to prevent states from enacting protective measures in the future (more here). Obama promises as his number one prior to sign FOCA into law. [note: Americans United for Life (AUL), a pro-life law and policy organization, has prepared an analysis of the "Freedom of Choice Act". Sign the fight FOCA peition here.]

9. Supreme Court: Obama vows to nominate Supreme Court justices that support Roe v Wade. Obama voted against the highly qualified Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito.

10. Radical Pro-Abortion: Obama is the most pro-abortion President and rejects of the God-given intrinsic dignity of human life. Obama's only Harvard Law Review article took a pro-abortion stance.

11. Assault on Life: Immediately after his election, Barack Obama's assault on human life began with the identification of executive orders that could be reversed to support abortion and embryonic stem cell research. Barack Obama has confirmed that he will overturn a pro-life policy of President Bush on his first day in office and fund foreign abortions with US tax dollars. [visit the FRC to take action today]

Article I'm Still Working On

Please, please comment.
I'm still working on this one... Any suggestions? I'm probably going to add some pics from the Walk For Life, once it happens...



"A person is a person, no matter how small." said Theodore Seuss Giesel (1904-1991), a well know American writer and cartoonist. He was commonly known by his pen name, Dr. Seuss.

In response to the April 18 U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, prominent Democratic members of Congress the next day reintroduced the so-called "Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA), a proposed federal law to nullify virtually all federal and state limitations on abortion.

What is partial birth abortion?

Partial-birth abortion is exactly what the term infers.

Intrauterine cranial decompression (commonly known as Partial Birth Abortion):
The procedure is usually performed during the last trimester of gestation up to the end of the ninth month. The woman's cervix is dilated, and the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with forceps. Then he proceeds to pull the baby into the birth canal. The abortionist then delivers the baby's body, feet first, all but the baby's head. The abortionist inserts a sharp object into the back of the baby's head, removes it, and inserts a vacuum tube through which the brains are sucked out. The head of the baby collapses at this point and allows the aborted baby to be delivered lifelessly.

Can we deny that this is a baby? Can we allow this to happen?

We already have. The war for lives of millions of babies has already begun.
In electing Barack Obama, under the office of President of the United States of America (January 20, 2009), Mr. Obama told Planned Parenthood that: "The first thing I'd do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing I'd do."
The so-called "Freedom of Choice" act will:
1) Do away with state laws on parental involvement, on partial birth abortion, and on all other protections.
2) Compel taxpayer funding of abortions.
3) Force faith-based hospitals and health-care facilities to perform abortions.
Barack Obama believes this legislation will "end the culture wars."

"Though Obama is pro-choice, we are in the worst recession we've ever been."

Though it may be true, we are in a very tight situation with the economy; is this more important then a child's life? During the course of the year, over 1.2 million babies die. This is mass murder and it needs to stop. A child's life is the most important thing given to us by God. Life is to precious to be thrown away so easily. What factors are so important that human life can be sacrificed to them?

Excerpt from a conversation that two of my friends and I had:
Person1: Now, there are various ways to keep people alive.
Good health care, good foreign policy, plenty of money, and no abortion.
Person2: I would say no abortion, good health care, and good foreign policy
Person1: Without money, how can we have food?
Person2: Without people to feed, what's the point of having food? You can build pretty nifty structures out of broccoli and toothpicks, but that gets really boring after a while.

"Many are dying out on the street. This is life, and it's just as precious and important."

Yes, the lives of the homeless people are lives, too, and are just as important as the lives of the baby. However, this person has a chance in life. He has a chance in life, however. These babies haven't got a chance. People born have voices. The babies in the womb, cannot protest. They are slaughtered, and cannot help themselves.

We must try to be their voice.

A Tale of Tragic Truths and Tremendous Trials

Written by Sarah, Regina, Ruthiey, Lillian, Gabriel, Noah and Luke

Part 1:

King Cedric angrily turned to his only heir ---- Princess Dianne, a
beautiful gir"l. His fiery eyes blazed at her as his loud, commanding voice boomed in his bedchamber. He was not happy with his daughter's refusals to several of his nobles who he especially liked. He had hoped he would have one as a future son-in-law.

In his rage, Cedric had not tidy himself during his outburst at his daughter. His graying, thick black hair was flopping on to his broad forehead. His dressing gown had slid off his right shoulder and he had one slipper on and one off. Whenever he was in this mood, his servants knew to disappear quickly. However, Dianne yawned and looked uninterested in her father's angry words.

"Father, I told you who I wanted to marry at the age of eighteen. He is the only man I shall ever marry – there is no other for me. Now, if you'll excuse, Father, I must retire to my room. I feel rather exhausted from seeing all your nobles today," she said yawning again.

Cedric grabbed a book from his tidy writing table and slammed it on the floor. "I've had enough of this Alexander, Dianne! He will never come back to us again! His family sent search parties to several kingdoms around us and had every village guarded that night he vanished on his seventeenth birthday. Alexander is de'ead. Leave, Daughter, before I have the notion of sending you to the convent!" he exclaimed as he sat down in chair, putting his head in his hand. "Why couldn't have I had a son?" he moaned with despair.

Several days past, and not a word was spoken from either King Cedric (other than ordering servants around) or his daughter.

King Cedric was eating when Dianne came to announce great news (to King Cedric, that is). "I will marry," said Dianne. King Cedric breathed a great sigh of relief. "Shall you marry Duke Sache of Wellington or Lord Gneekow of Norfolk?" he asked of her. "Duke Sache," she replied with a toss of her head.

Duke Sache, lovingly known by his family as 'Poolie-O' was a young gentleman, of about thirty years of age. He had dark black hair that curled into small locks. His eyes were dark brown, and he was considered to be a very desirable match for any young lady.

Without A Title-The Story of Them

Written by R. L. Bertilson, L.C. Something Holmes and L.N. Taylor

It was a dark, misty night. The roses had already closed up. Might I add that it was bedtime for young Theresa Von Burglareo? She shivered. "ACK! IT'S AN EVIL DINO! It's going to crunch me!" Her parent's stepped in just in time, saving their daughter from being crunched by a mutant dinosaur.

Just then, a mutant tarantula that she thought she'd crushed crawled up her neck."Ahh, that tickles, Timmy. Why are you doing that?" Timmy affectionately crawled though her hair. "Hee hee,"she cried.

Just then, Frederico, her pet python snake crawled up her neck. "Not so tight, Frederico...You know, it worries my parents," She softly chided him. Her parents saw and conquered. They sent Theresa Von Burglareo to the asylum.

"Poor dear," thought Timmy. Federico was thinking the same thing. But Federico and Timmy d each other, so they never talked. Timmy felt so bad, however, that he chose to talk to Frederico.


After they talked, Frederico and Timmy thought up a plan to save Theresa Von Burglareo. "We could always get the help of Bobby." Bobby was a worm. All he ever did was sit and read and gain knowledge.

Bobby was busy eating an Apple, and after searching the yard for hours, they found him. And they asked him where the asylum was. And he replied, "Halibalum! Wormy speaky only!" So they had to find a worm that could speak English. His name was Dobby. And he translated for them. After much talking and confusion, they found out through the worm network, that Theresa Von Burglareo was in the Asylum that was 5 streets away from them.

Bobby and Dobby crawled onto Federico's back, and so did Timmy. And they began slithering all the way.

On the street, however, they met up with Jake, an angry pitbull. The pitbull was very hungry. He tried to eat Dobby, the only translator know to wormkind. However, Federico, the brave python strangled Jake. But in the process, was killed. "What shall we do?" asked Timmy.


Bobby smiled. "C'est la vie." Timmy didn't know that Bobby spoke French. He smiled back at Bobby.

After a little while, they found a cat named Ugaloo who offered them a ride. So, they animals all hopped onto his back and he took them to the asylum meandering on the streets and chasing insects whenever he saw them. Once they arrived, Ugaloo realized he was rather hungry, and in payment for they ride, he ate Timmy. After this delightful meal, Ugaloo, smiled at the worms, and just before he swallowed them as well they screeched out in French, "Save Theresa , she's in the asylum!" Fortunately, Ugaloo was a French cat. So he understood. And he began thinking. Cogitating. Meditating. Pondering. Ruminating. Very deeply. Until he fell asleep.


And, being a cat, he slept for hours... while poor Theresa was suffering.

Ugaloo woke up. "Ugh," he sighed. "Worms and tarantula meat is always giving me stomach aches," he whined. He thought about what their dying words were... "Epargner Theresa ! Save Theresa! elle est dans l'asile! She's in the asylum!" The words repeated endlessly in his mind... Those words... That tormented. "Should I risk my precious fur over that ?" he asked himself.

But, suddenly, Ugaloo's stomach ache got worse. It felt like the worms were still alive and were eating their way through his stomach lining! He groaned: "Auaghahgughalk!" And, thinking he'd better get to a surgeon to get the worms out before they killed him, he limped painful to the vet.


"My dear fellow," exclaimed Ugaloo's English vet. "Your full of worms and have a livetarantula crawling in your stomach!" he cried. "Oopaladoo!" said Ugaloo. "Can you get them out?---We're... trying to save Theresa Von Burglareo!" he stammered.

"Save Theresa?" he asked. "I'm the one who insisted on her going to asylum!"

Part Three: In Search

Wotmikler Whiplertipple was lying in a hammock out in the lawn. He opened his eyes. “Hello,” A rabbit proffered his paw to Wotmikler Whiplertipple. “I’m Rafglanitic Ralargubien Ralargubien, and if you haven’t noticed I’m a rabbit.” “Umm…Well… Hello, I’m Wotmikler Whiplertipple.” He shook the rabbits paw. “So,” Rafglanitic Ralargubien said “Are you ready?”

“Ready for what?” Wotmikler Whiplertipple asked, with a confused look on his face. “You great lummox! Don’t you know a thing? We have to go to Violet Peach Hole, where Kolpernipsy Kongosliknickler lives.” At that moment Wablofglin Walbdlockskin ran out of the door chasing after Masofrine Mirgurgleflanty. “Go, you fool! Leave me at once!”

At that moment, Wablofglin Walbdlockskin turned around, faced Wotmikler Whiplertipple and Rafglanitic Ralargubien Ralargubien; ran over and sat a package on Wotmikler Whiplertipple’s lap, and ran into the house.

At that, Rafglanitic Ralargubien lifted Wotmikler Whiplertipple, and bounded off with him. “Where are we going?” asked Wotmikler Whiplertipple. “You shall soon see,” the rabbit replied.

After traveling an hour or so, Wotmikler Whiplertipple woke. They were still bouncing along, but now they reached an orchard. “Why,” exclaimed Wotmikler Whiplertipple, “Violet Peaches! How I’ve long to see where those juicy, sweet, violet peaches grow!”

“Hush! Fogbottler Fanusbee and his band are likely to be around here…” Rafglanitic Ralargubien whispered. “Do they have my sister?” questioned Wotmikler Whiplertipple. “No, Burrnick Bloaker has her,” he replied, “But, I believe Fogbottler Fanusbee has Kolpernipsy Kongosliknickler”

Rafglanitic Ralargubien took a peach off the tree, and gave Wotmikler Whiplertipple a bit of it. “What is going on?” Wotmikler cried. “I want to go home with Gawlbawla Gorkintina! I don’t care how much she complains! How could I have ever complained about my perfect little family? My mother, Dopindipla Dearnorta, and my father, Jumplopper Jocksinkler probably think I’m by now!” Rafglanitic Ralargubien patted the boy on the shoulder “Calm yourself, all will soon be over.”

“I want to be happy,” Wotmikler Whiplertipple whimpered.

Part Two: Unfortunate Happenings

Wotmikler Whiplertipple finished his food quickly and ran to the door. “Be careful,” Dopindipla Dearnorta called to him. “I will mum!” Wotmikler Whiplertipple put on his doll cap and ran outside. “I’ll show that Burrnick Bloaker how well I can jump vegetables!”

Wotmikler Whiplertipple was determined to jump the pumpkin that lay in his path. He ran up and jumped. “Ouch, you missed it!” Wotmikler Whiplertipple looked up. Fogbottler Fanusbee and Burrnick Bloaker had a sack in their arms. “Where is Lutinlimp Lidlalipack? Err… I mean, Todlitted Tobsy?” Fogbottler Fanusbee asked.

Wotmikler Whiplertipple looked down at Fogbottler Fanusbee’s left foot. “My father, Jumplopper Jocksinkler knew it! You’re in league with Lutinlimp Lidlalipack II! I see the white mark, I’m not blind.” “Answer Fogbottler Fanusbee’s question,” said Burrnick Bloaker. “I told you,” replied Wotmikler Whiplertipple. “Todlitted Tobsy died last week! You can ask my cousin Wablofglin Walbdlockskin!” Wotmikler Whiplertipple cried.

“That’s it! You won’t listen!” said Fogbottler Fanusbee. “You’re going to pay the price,” said Burrnick Bloaker. “We’ve taken Gawlbawla Gorkintina!” Shouted Fogbottler Fanusbee. They bounded off and hopped over the pumpkin.

“My,” said Wotmikler Whiplertipple “Gawlbawla Gorkintina is gone! What shall mother say? And father? I can’t let them know.” Wotmikler Whiplertipple ran into his bedroom, and grabbed some doll outfits. “I must run and find Gawlbawla Gorkintina before mother and father discover she’s gone!” Wotmikler Whiplertipple thought.

He ran out the door, hopped over an assortment of vegetables (including the pumpkin), and ran in the direction of Kolpernipsy Kongosliknickler, the wisest cricket’s (that ever lived) house.

When Wotmikler Whiplertipple arrived at Kolpernipsy Kongosliknickler’s house he found that he was not the only guest. His cousin, Wablofglin Walbdlockskin (who had run from Fogbottler Fanusbee and Burrnick Bloaker) was there along with his friend and colleague, Masofrine Mirgurgleflanty.

“Why,” cried Masofrine Mirgurgleflanty. “If it isn’t old Wotmikler Whiplertipple? Last time I saw you; you were in bed, sick with a case of Bluebunny sickness, weren’t you? Your hair sticks up now as much as it did then” He snorted in amusement (he wasn’t a nice sort of fellow). “If you’ll excuse me, Wablofglin Walbdlockskin and Mastfried Yourgurgly (or whatever your name might be), but I came with urgent business,” Announced Wotmikler Whiplertipple.

“What? What is the matter?” asked Wablofglin Walbdlockskin. “Why, its Gawlbawla Gorkintina, she’s gone!” cried Wotmikler Whiplertipple. “I’ll be back,” said Wablofglin Walbdlockskin.

Wotmikler Whipplertipple

Part One: The Story of Wotmikler Whiplertipple

Wotmikler Whiplertipple was a short little boy with hair that stood straight up. He was about as tall as a daisy, and wore his sisters’ dolls clothes. “Wotmikler Whiplertipple,” His mother called to him one day. “Come and eat your supper!”

Wotmikler Whiplertipple ran as fast as he could towards the house. He jumped over a squash in the garden. “Ha! I told Burrnick Bloaker I could jump a squash!” He continued jumping over various vegetables.

In front of him sat a frog (which he had never seen the likes of). “Hello,” the frog introduced himself. “My name is Fogbottler Fanusbee. Is your name Todlitted Tobsy? I understand you buy and sell bagpipes, as I am learning to play them well, myself.” Fogbottler Fanusbee talked on for five minutes, all about bagpipes.

“Umm… Well… No… My name isn’t Todlitted Tobsy. I’m Wotmikler Whiplertipple. I’m sorry to say, but Todlitted Tobsy was my neighbor, but died last week.” He finally got some words in. Fogbottler Fanusbee dropped his frog-jaw. “Then you mean, all of those bagpipes are gone? Impossible!” Fogbottler Fanusbee hopped up, and darted away.

“Strange,” Wotmikler Whiplertipple thought. “I never saw any customer of Todlitted Tobsy that looked like that…” “Wotmikler Whiplertipple! Come and get your supper!” His mother yelled. Wotmikler Whiplertipple ran into the house, and climbed up his stool, where he sat on a pile of books.

“What took you so long?” His father asked. “Well… Umm… I ran into a…Thing!” Wotmikler Whiplertipple answered. “You saw it?” his mother asked. “Saw what?” his sister, Gawlbawla Gorkintina, complained. “A green little man,” said Wotmikler Whiplertipple.

“He came up to me and asked where Todlitted Tobsy and his bagpipes were.” He replied. “Well,” said Gawlbawla Gorkintina “Did you tell him he’s ?” “Of course, I’ve told that to everyone who asks!” Wotmikler Whiplertipple’s father, Jumplopper Jocksinkler, asked, “When did this happen? It may have been a spy of the accursed Lutinlimp Lidlalipack!”

“Father,” Wotmikler Whiplertipple said, “I believe it was, he had the white bump on his left foot. It happened before supper, when mum called me in.” “Why Wotmikler Whiplertipple,” cried Dopindipla Dearnorta, Wotmikler Whiplertipple’s mother, “He could have robbed you…Or worse, carried you off!” She whimpered, and kissed his forehead.
