Get REAL with sex education Anti-choice politicians in Congress continue to spend our tax dollars on unproven, ideological "abstinence-only" programs that hurt, rather than help, our young people. Our kids deserve better - and so do taxpayers. That's why pro-choice Americans have to take matters into their own hands. The Responsible Education About Life (REAL) Act would set up the first-ever federal sex education program in schools. Honest, realistic sex education is the best way to reduce the spread of STDs and prevent teen pregnancy. CLICK HERE TO SEND A MESSAGE TO YOUR CONGRESSPERSONS & SENATORS!

THIS IS MY LIFE by Simple Plan Do you ever feel like breaking down? Do you ever feel out of place? Like somehow you just don't belong And no one understands you Do you ever wanna runaway? Do you lock yourself in your room? With the radio on turned up so loud That no one hears you screaming No you don't know what it's like When nothing feels all right You don't know what it's like To be like me Do you wanna be somebody else? Are you sick of feeling so left out? Are you desparate to find something more? Before your life is over Are you stuck inside a world you hate? Are you sick of everyone around? With their big fake smiles and stupid lies While deep inside you're bleeding No you don't know what it's like When nothing feels all right You don't know what it's like To be like me No one ever lied straight to your face No one ever stabbed you in the back You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay Everybody always gave you what you wan

B"H Wanton Love ----------- One who is full of himself fills all the space around him. There is no room left for anyone else. Therefore, he despises another person by virtue of the space that other person consumes. He may give reasons for his disdain, but the reasons are secondary. This is called wanton hatred. It is the reason given for our exile. It is the core of all evil. It is balanced and cured by wanton acts of love and kindness. A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe -words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman

Faithful must branch out beyond politics, leaders say Alex Johnson, MSNBC Evangelical leaders are re-examining whether American evangelicalism has suffered from its portrayal as a conservative political movement rather than as a broad religious philosophy rooted in a literal reading of the Bible. Although evangelical leaders have been among the most prominent spokesmen for conservative causes, "evangelical" and "religious right" are not the same thing. Studies indicate that as many as 40 percent of Americans who call themselves evangelicals are politically moderate or identify with the Democratic Party. The declarations - a statement of principles by the National Association of Evangelicals and a study of growth in Southern Baptist congregations - serve to crystallize discontent among many evangelical and conservative Christians with their public perception in recent years.

JEWISH LEADER BLASTS THE 'RELIGIOUS RIGHT' I've never understood how evangelical Christianity can claim religo-moral superiority over other faiths, let alone over other denominations. My first real exposure to evangelicalism was during my undergrad years, when I starting meeting folks who truly believed I and everyone else had a guaranteed ticket to hell if we didn't accept Jesus (as well as their own interpretation of Jesus). What they looked liked to me, though, was a bunch of smiling, collared shirt-wearing, guitar strumming, good-teethed weirdos who had a complete incapacity for critical and independent thought. I could barely turn around without someone asking me if I'd accepted Christ as my savior--to include a gentlemen who danced in a religious fervor in his room directly above mine at midnight while I tried to get a decent night's roost, and then had the gall to ask me the golden question when I told him to save his religion for a more decent hour.
