Here are the links to the sunday school lessons I have taught to the 12 and 13 year olds in my ward these past few weeks. Todays lesson has been taught over the past two weeks, as so much material about Moral Cleanliness had to be covered. The teens in my class handled the uncomfortable information really well, although it is always difficult to discuss sexual morality with a combined group of girls and boys at this tender age. I’m planning to share this talk with them today, The Message: You Promised by Elder M. Russell Ballard. Quotes from the article:
“We understand the struggles you face every day in keeping the commandments of the Lord. The battle for your souls is increasingly fierce. The adversary is strong and cunning. However, you have within your physical body the powerful spirit of a son or daughter of God. Because He loves you and wants you to come home to Him, our Father in Heaven has given you a conscience that tells your spirit when you are keeping the Lord’s commandments and when you are not. If you will pay more attention to your spiritual self, which is eternal, than to your mortal self, which is temporary, you can always resist the temptations of Satan and conquer his efforts to take you into his power.
You must be honest with yourself and remain true to the covenants you have made with God. Do not fall into the trap of thinking you can sin a little and it will not matter. Remember, “the Lord cannot look upon sin with the least degree of allowance” (D&C 1:31).
Some young men and women in the Church talk openly about sexual transgression. They seem to forget that the Lord forbids all sexual relations before marriage, including petting, sex perversion of any kind, or preoccupation with sex in thought, speech, or action. Some youth foolishly rationalize that it is “no big deal” to sin now because they can always repent later when they want to go to the temple or on a mission. Anyone who does that is breaking promises made to God both in the premortal life and in the waters of baptism.
The idea of sinning a little is self-deception. Sin is sin! Sin weakens you spiritually, and it always places the sinner at eternal risk. Choosing to sin, even with the intent to repent, is simply turning away from God and violating covenants.
Gratefully, many of you young men honor your priesthood and many young women “stand for truth and righteousness” as stated in the Young Women’s motto. We commend you for your fidelity and integrity.”
This story, supressed by the media, is the one that most concerns me as an American.
Larry Sinclair has been yelling about Obamas Bi-Sexuality for many months now and he has been mostly ignored by the media and the blog world. I heard about his claims at Free Republic when his first You Tube Video was published months ago.
I did not blog about it because I honestly did not care about Baracks sexuality. I figured if he was gay…whatever…I was not planning to vote for him. But when I read about Donald Young, the Gay Choir Director of Reverend Wrights church in Chicago being murdered last year, I found myself increasingly angry that the story was not properly vetted in the press, except to discredit and make fun of Larry Sinclair.
And when I read on Larrys blog how he was being bullied by Obama thugs, I was completely enraged that a citizen of our country was being falsely arrested and had his site hacked etc… Here is a link to the most recent Jeff Rense interview with Larry. Scroll down for the link. (Jeff’s site has also been repeatedly hacked)
Free Republic has been pulled for hours off the web, and my own blog has been hacked twice this month since I posted the information about Larry Sinclair and Donald Young.
I guess the thing that is most important to me is the truth. Before Bill Clinton was elected we had all sorts of stories coming out about his immorality. He allowed a Bimbo Eruption campaign to be conducted against his past girlfriends. Some of these women were brutalized by Clinton Thugs. But to have this gay man in Chicago murdered, it just breaks my heart, and I believe the public has a right to know the truth. How many political murders and coverups will be conducted against the American People over the next four years if Barack Obama is elected president in three days time?
It just sickens me to think about the police state we will be living in if the commie thugs take over our government.
Please take some time to ponder and pray about this issue before you vote on tuesday. Jenny Hatch
Hill Buzz Dems who were for Hillary are all going one hundred percent for McCain/Palin. I was listening to Rush Limbaugh this morning and heard him read this comment on the air. It struck me as really interesting because I have personally experienced this sort of flaming on my Blog, my You Tube Vids, and in various chat rooms, especially at Mothering Magazine and Free Republic. Anyway, here is the comment: (Number 25 in the comment section of the post) Perhaps some of my readers who have participated in chats have experienced this sort of “flaming” from web users being paid by the Obama Campaign to work as full time internet political prostitutes. sarah p Says:

Ok, I want to clear my conscious a little. Hopefully you could make a blog post to help some fellow clinton supporters out.
I work for a campaign and can’t wait for this week to be over.
I was doing it for a job. I was not a fan of any candidate but over time grew to love HRC.
The internal campaign idea is to twist, distort, humiliate and finally dispirit you.
We pay people and organize people to go to all the online sites and “play the part of a clinton or mccain supporter who just switched our support for obama”
We do this to stifle your motivation and to destroy your confidence.
We did this the whole primary and it worked.
Sprinkle in mass vote confusion and it becomes bewildering. Most people lose patience and just give up on their support of a candidate and decide to just block out tv, news, websites, etc.
This surprisingly has had a huge suppressing movement and vote turnout issues.
Next, we infiltrate all the blogs and all the youtube videos and overwhelm the voting, the comments, etc. All to continue this appearance of overwhelming world support.
People makes posts to the effect that the world has “gone mad”
Thats the intention. To make you feel stressed and crazy and feel like the world is ending.
We have also had quite a hand in skewing many many polls, some we couldn’t control as much as we would have liked. But many we have spoiled over. Just enough to make real clear politics look scarey to a mccain supporter. Its worked, alough the goal was to appear 13-15 points ahead.
see, the results have been working. People tend to support a winner, go with the flow, become “sheeple”
The polls are roughly 3-5 points in favor of Barack. Thats due to our inflation of the polls and pulling in the sheeple.
Our donors, are the same people who finance the MSM. Their interests are tied, Barack then tends to come across as teflon. Nothing sticks. And trust, there were meetings with Fox news. The goal was to blunt them as much as possible. Watch Bill Oreilly he has become much more diplomatic and “fair and balanced” and soft. Its because he wants to retain the #1 spot on cable news and to do that he has to have access to the Obama campaign and we worked hard at stringing him a long and keeping him soft for an interview swap. It worked and now he is anticipating more access. So he is playing it still soft.
This is why nothing sticks.
The operation is massive, the goal is to paint a picture that is that of a winner, regardless of the results.
There is no true inauguration draft or true grant park construction going on. There will be a party, but we are boasting beyond the truth to make it seem like the election is wrapped up.
Our goal is to continue to make you lose your moral. We worked hard at persuasion and paying off and timing and playing the right political numbers to get key republican endorsements to make it seem even more like it was over and the world was coming to an end for you all.
There is a huge staff of people working around the clock, watching every site, blogs, etc. We flood these sites. We have had a goal to overwhelm.
The truth is here. I could go on and on, but you get the picture.
I am saying this because I know HRC was better for the country, and now realize this. I was too late by the time I connected to her. To me Barack was just a cool young dude that seemed like a star. I didn’t know him or his policies, but now I understand more than I care to and I realize his interests are more for him, and the DNC and all working like puppets with dean. I always thought a president wanted the better good for the country. The end result I see is everyone dependent on the government, this means more and more people voting for the DNC. This means the future is forever altered. I don’t see this as america, so I am now supporting John Mccain.
Sarah Palin is a huge threat, and our campaign has feared her like you can’t imagine. If it seems unfair how she has been treated, well its because she has had a team working round the clock to make her look like a fool.
this is a big conspiracy and I am so shocked that its not realized.
We released a little blurb the other day that the Obama campaign was already working on reelection and now putting our efforts towards 2012. This was to make it seem like it was above us to continue caring about 2008. Trust me, its a lie. David is very smart, but its a sticky ugly not very truthful kind of intelligence.
Its not over yet, but I think the machine is working. And its a hill to climb.
I will be quitting my post on nov 5th and my vote will be for John Mccain. Fortunately, my position has been a marketing position and I don’t feel I had any part of anything I would feel guilty for. But I look forward to getting out of this as the negativity and environment upsets me.
I wish you all well, and goodluck.
PS my name is not really sarah. but I am a female and I understand your plight.
This story combined with the Newsmax story about the Hillary supporters who have claimed massive fraud and Will NOT be SILENCED tells me that the marxists who are running things will stop at nothing to make sure the Manchurian Candidate is elected. Jenny Hatch
Pages 34-40 of “Unfit for Publication,” approximately 15 percent of the total document, are devoted to ad hominem attacks against me.
Since the days of ancient Greek rhetoric, ad hominem attacks have been considered the lowest form of argumentation. Typically, debaters or apologists only resort to ad hominem attacks only when they have already lost the argument because they are unable to win through evidence and logic. Ad hominem attacks attempt to discourage the listener from paying attention to the arguments made. The problem is that ad hominem arguments fail to refute the substantive contentions of the person who is being attacked personally.
In a section entitled “Consider the Source: Corsi Holds Widely Discredited Beliefs,” the Obama campaign rebuttal presents entirely one-sided, emotionally-laden and partial descriptions or distortions of arguments I have made in books and on the radio concerning topics unrelated to the subject matter of “The Obama Nation.” Put simply, these ad hominem attacks are irrelevant to the truth or falsehood of the arguments I make in “The Obama Nation.”
…Throughout the 2004 election cycle, I remained active in promoting “Unfit for Command” as has been documented by Scott Swett and Tim Ziegler in their 2008 book entitled “To Set the Record Straight: How Swift Boat Veterans, POWs and the New Media Defeated John Kerry.” I attended as an invited guest multiple meetings of the Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth and was honored by awards given by the Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth for my participation in their campaign.
That the Obama campaign feels compelled to attack me personally in order to refute “The Obama Nation” is a clear indication how weak and troubled are the arguments the campaign is capable of mounting in defense of their candidate.
I trust unbiased readers will see the ad hominem attacks leveled at me by “Unfit for Publication” for what they are – attacks unworthy of any serious effort to elect a candidate to the highest political office in the United States.
The last section of “Unfit for Publication” lists “Offensive Language in Corsi’s Book.” Without repeating the cited sentences drawn out of context from “The Obama Nation,” I also trust unbiased readers to see what the Obama campaign is attempting to accomplish here – to rule out of bounds as politically incorrect language as any comment adverse to Sen. Obama, regardless of their truth, if any reference is made whatsoever to race, national identity, religion, disease or sex.
My rejoinder is simple: The Obama campaign rebuttal fails to demonstrate any of the comments itemized as politically objectionable in their limited view were false. Targeting as politically correct any and all unpleasant criticisms of Sen. Obama or any and all politically inconvenient comments regarding Sen. Obama is nothing more than an attempt at political censorship that has no place within the robust intent of open discussion as defined by the First Amendment.
If personal abuse is the price for writing a book that is critical of Sen. Obama, then that is a price I will gladly pay, especially since the 40-page rebuttal plus cover has failed to prove a single falsehood contained in pages of the book, “The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality.”
Bottom line? As Corsi made so abundantly clear, Barack Obama has some things he has been hiding from the American Public. From the Amazon Link:
In this stunning and comprehensive new book, the reader will learn about: -Obama’s extensive connections with Islam and radical politics, from his father and step-father’s Islamic backgrounds, to his Communist and socialist mentors in Hawaii and Chicago, to his long-term and close associations with former Weather Underground heroes William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn—associations much closer than heretofore revealed by the press
-Barack and Michelle’s 20-year-long religious affiliation with the black-liberation theology of former Trinity United Church of Christ Reverend Jeremiah Wright, whose sermons have always been steeped in a rage first expressed by Franz Fanon , Stokely Carmichael and Malcolm X, a rage that Corsi shows has deep meaning for Obama
-Obama’s continuing connections with Kenya, the homeland of his father, through his support for the candidacy of Raila Odinga, the radical socialist presidential contender who came to power amid Islamist violence and church burnings
-Obama’s involvement in the slum-landlord empire of the Chicago political fixer Tony Rezko, who helped to bankroll Obama’s initial campaigns and to purchase of Barack and Michelle’s dream-home property.
-the background and techniques of the Obama campaign’s cult of personality, including the derivation of the words “hope” and change”
-Obama’s far-left domestic policy, his controversial votes on abortion, his history of opposition to the Second Amendment, his determination to raise capital-gains taxes, his impractical plan to achieve universal health care, and his radical plan to tax Americans to fund a global-poverty-reduction program
-Obama’s naïve, anti-war, anti-nuclear foreign-policy, predicated on the reduction of the military, the eradication of nuclear weapons and an overconfidence in the power of his personality, as if belief in change alone could somehow transform international politics, achieve nuclear-weapons disarmament and withdrawal from Iraq without adverse consequences, for us, for the Iraqis or for Israel.
Meticulously researched and documented, THE OBAMA NATION is the definitive source for information on why and how Barack Obama must be defeated—not by invective and general attacks, but by detailed arguments that are well-researched and fact-based.

by Elaine Lafferty
It’s difficult not to froth when one reads, as I did again and again this week, doubts about Sarah Palin’s “intelligence,” coming especially from women such as PBS’s Bonnie Erbe, who, as near as I recall, has not herself heretofore been burdened with the Susan Sontag of Journalism moniker. As Fred Barnes—God help me, I’m agreeing with Fred Barnes—suggests in the Weekly Standard, these high toned and authoritative dismissals come from people who have never met or spoken with Sarah Palin. Those who know her, love her or hate her, offer no such criticism. They know what I know, and I learned it from spending just a little time traveling on the cramped campaign plane this week: Sarah Palin is very smart. What is often called her “confidence” is actually a rarity in national politics: I saw a woman who knows exactly who she is.
