“In response to our recent program, “A Closer Look at Stem Cell Research,” Dr. Dobson has received a backlash of harsh criticism regarding comments he made comparing embryonic stem cell research to the Nazis’ human experimentation during the Holocaust. Critics have labeled Dr. Dobson’s remarks “ignorant and insulting” and demanded an apology. Today, Dr. Dobson and bioethics analyst Carrie Gordon Earll set the record straight, demonstrating how Dr. Dobson’s words have been unfairly twisted in order to undermine his public credibility and promote the advance of embryonic stem cell research.”
I listened to the comments by Dr. Dobson, on FOF’s Wednesday broadcast, where he made the Nazi remark. His stance is strongly pro-life and severely against what is happening with the embryonic stem cell research. Here is another case of liberals making serious false accusations. They didn't listen to the broadcast! Some liberal heard the word, "Nazi", and went nuts.
Hey liberals! Tell me honestly: What's going to happen when the embryos run out? If you get your way, in time frozen embryos will be depleted. Will you force healthy women to give your researchers embryos? Are you then going to forcefully extract stem cells from healthy children? One leads to the other whether you realize it or not. That's what the Nazi's did: The ends justified the means. It is morally and ethically wrong!

The Fools of Sandy Springs
As reported by the Atlanta Journal Constitution yesterday, August 4th, the residents of a neighboring Ronald McDonald House were adamantly against the House's proposed expansion plans. The House wanted to expand from 11 beds to 50, but ended up with only 20 more. Last year, the House turned away 281 families due to their small size.

But here's the kicker...
"What kind of person would stand here opposing the Ronald McDonald House?" said expansion opponent Trisha Thompson as she addressed Fulton commissioners Wednesday. "I think a person who cares more about these [neighborhood] families and their problems than the Ronald McDonald Foundation does."
Ms. Thompson, you definitely need a lesson in humility. Here is the real issue: You, and the other ignorant fools in your crusade, don't give a darn about the lives of these critically ill children. And don't tell me you do. These are families who desperately need help and all you can think about is your home value? You treat them as if they are vagrants - pure and simple. Here's the proof:
Harriet Mills, a 37-year neighbor, led that first fight. She said she's fought so many zoning battles over the years to protect her neighborhood that she no longer feels guilty about opposing such a worthy cause. "I've been told that I'm a hater of children with cancer," Mills said. "It's not about that. This is an invasion into a very stable single-family neighborhood. Where does it stop?"
"...to protect her neighborhood...". You put property value over the lives of these children. Say, are these families throwing wild parties at night or leaving their broken-down boats in the yard? Are they selling drugs or other illicit services?
They're not and you know it. So much for your care of life, Ms. Thompson. If I'm wrong, prove it to me. I welcome the challenge.

Watchdog Group Attacks School Bible Study
From the AJC:
http://www.ajc.com/hp/content/shared-gen/ap/National/Bible_Study.html
AUSTIN, Texas — A religious watchdog group complained Monday that a Bible study course taught in hundreds of public schools in Texas and across the country promotes a fundamentalist Christian view and violates religious freedom.
The Texas Freedom Network, which includes clergy of several faiths, also said the course offered by the Greensboro, N.C.-based National Council on Bible Curriculum in Public Schools is full of errors and dubious research.
Texas Freedom Network President Kathy Miller said her group looked at the course after the Odessa school board voted in April to offer the class. It asked Southern Methodist University biblical scholar Mark A. Chancey to review the curriculum.
Chancey's review found that the course characterizes the Bible as inspired by God, that discussions of science are based on the biblical account of creation, that Jesus is referred to as fulfilling Old Testament prophecy, and that archaeological findings are erroneously used to support claims of the Bible's historical accuracy. He said the course also suggests the Bible, instead of the Constitution, be considered the nation's founding document.
"No public school student should have to have a particular religious belief forced upon them," the Rev. Ragan Courtney, pastor of The Sanctuary, a Baptist congregation in Austin, said at a news conference held by Texas Freedom Network.
__________________________________________________________
Okay, here are the real issues. First, this course is an elective, not mandatory. Second, from my viewpoint, the class isn't promoting a fundamentalist viewpoint, but teaching fundamentals of the Bible. The word, 'fundamentalist' and 'fundamental' have two different meanings. Third, from the Rev. Courtney's quote, this isn't forced on a student, so get over it. And fourth, and most important, is the findings from Mark Chancey.
Mr. Chancey, do you or do you not believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God? If not, do you truly believe man alone wrote it? If so, you need to go back to seminary.
Mr. Chancey, God created science. God created man. You seem to have a problem with this fact. I tell you what...if you can factually prove to me that mankind arrived here via a single-cell protozoa from a swamp, then more power to you.
Mr. Chancey, Jesus did fulfill Old Testament prophecy. Check it out yourself. Ever heard of Isaiah? More importantly, Jesus was the Son of God and God in the flesh. But I guess that went over your head too.
Mr. Chancey, as proven time and time again, archaeological findings have proven both the flood account and the burning of Sodom and Gemorrah. Maybe your glasses need adjusting.
Lastly, I attend a moderate seminary so don't accuse me of being a fundamentalist. Even a moderate seminary teaches the facts of God's Word. But, I guess you elected to miss those classes in school.

Atlanta Braves
The Atlanta Braves are on a run with 6 straight wins! Their recent wins over the Nationals and Pirates give Atlanta a 5 game lead in the NL East. And now they've added closer, Kyle Farnsworth, from Detroit. AWESOME!
As I see it, the Braves just need to stay healthy to clinch the East and take on their toughest opponents, the St. Louis Cardinals, in the NLCS.

Carjackers Update
The two suspects in the north metro Atlanta carjackings have been arrested. It turned out to be a 20 and 27-year old who may have been high on drugs. The 20-year old was arrested without incident. Not so for the 27-year old. He had to be tasered twice and wrestled with, by a police dog, before going down.
A big kudos to the Roswell City Police Department for keeping the community informed of their progress. Even though they didn't get the arrest, they did the right thing by notifying the public of their progress. Great job, Roswell!
Now let's hope the legal system keeps these idiots in jail for a long, long time.
