During WWII American wouldn’t stand for such portrayals of our own country in TV or movies, but the left winged Hollywood machine just can’t help themselves now a days!  Places like North Korea that don’t allow anything but what Kim Jung Il wants them to watch on TV probably get to see 24!  If I was an enemy leader of the United States and I wanted to brain wash my people into believing that the US government is responsible for all acts of terror,  I’d show 24 and say “See if  the American people, on their own most popular TV show are exposing the United States for what they really are”.

This used to be my favorite show, action packed cliff hangers week after week,  but like I said, what do you expect from far left Hollywood.   CTU was the Counter Terrorism Unit,  for god sakes let Jack track down a Saudi National, or someone from Iran, or Yemen or a Terrorist released from a prison like GITMO! You can bet your last dollar Hollywood would never let that scenario play out on their TV show no matter how likely the reality is.

LeBron James could be offered a ridiculous $50 Million Dollars a year to play in Europe when he becomes a free agent in 2010.  Tiger Woods has earned over $800 million so far in his career.  Do professional athletes make too much money?

In my opinion, the Godfather is hands down the greatest movie ever made.  The Godfather is a 1972 epic crime drama film based on the 1969 novel of the same name by Mario Puzo and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, with a screenplay by Puzo, Coppola, and an uncredited Robert Towne.[2] It stars Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall and Diane Keaton, and features Richard S. Castellano, Abe Vigoda and Sterling Hayden. The story spans ten years from 1945 to 1955 and chronicles the Italian-American Corleone crime family.

The Godfather received Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay, and has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. In addition, it is ranked as the second greatest film in American cinematic history, behind Citizen Kane on the AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition) list by the American Film Institute.[3]

Two sequels followed The Godfather: The Godfather Part II in 1974, and The Godfather Part III in 1990.

The Godfather movies were recently restored and you can now purchase The Godfather Gift Set on BluRay and DVD.  If you really want to get the whole story however you must read The Godfather Book by Mario Puzo!

Gay marriage is wrong for many reasons.  In The Bible, Adam and Eve were made for each other by God and were told to “be fruitful and multiply.”  Also, the sinful cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of homosexual behaviors of its inhabitants.  Marriage is a sacred union for creating a family and it is impossible for a homosexual couple to create a family on their own.  It is imperative
for the United States of America to remember that our Christian fathers founded our country.

There are historical lessons to remember when considering the legalization of homosexual unions as well.  Ancient Greece condoned homosexuality, especially between men and boys.  This civilization collapsed.  Many of Nazi Germany’s guards practiced homosexuality and their ideas didn’t last more than 20 years.  Again, they were defeated.  Could it be that if this were normal behavior it would have been accepted and successful before now?  Normalizing the homosexual lifestyle attempts have always failed and the United States of America cannot afford to set itself up for failure in this arena.

The United States of America has laws on affirmative action, which makes discrimination based upon race, gender, creed, age, and disability illegal.  Sexual orientation is not included in this description for a good reason because it is a choice.  No one can decide which race, creed, gender, or disability they are born in/with and the aging process is normal.  These are not based upon behaviors and homosexuality is a behavior that people choose to engage in.   Homosexuals may claim that they “feel” attracted to the same sex but our judicial system does not consider feelings to be equal to fact.  The fact is homosexuality is neither normal nor moral.

Homosexuality is listed in the DSM-IV as a mental illness, under the category of sexual fetishes.  Normal and accepted behavior is not listed in any psychological literature.  Psychologist and psychologists still agree that this behavior is wrong no matter how “nonjudgmental” they may claim to be.  The majority of these professionals would attribute homosexual behavior to a catastrophic childhood event.

Acknowledging homosexual marriage would erode the family value system our county was founded upon.  Acknowledgement would set our future generations into believing that this kind of behavior is accepted and that they would be fine to experiment with homosexual behavior because there would be no risk of becoming pregnant, the greatest fear of heterosexual sex.  It is a fact that homosexual sex is much riskier when it comes to STD’s such as AIDS.  Does the United States of America really need to increase our HIV positive population?

Statistically, homosexual unions are much shorter than heterosexual unions based upon different cultural values.  Culturally less stable, homosexuals cannot value monogamy as much as heterosexuals.  Giving homosexuals the right to marry is only putting money in the legal system and into divorce lawyers pockets when divorce is the only solution for putting heterosexual values on the homosexual culture.

It would be in the best interest of the United States of America to keep the status quo of the military.  Failure to do this would hurt the economy by forcing companies to acknowledge a union that could be made by best friends or roommates and cover their medical expenses.  Just like the immigration laws and marriage only to obtain a green card, homosexual marriages would be under intense scrutiny.  Our officials have more important things to worry about than if homosexual unions are actually constitutional..  Also, anyone can be sexual and that does not equal the right to be married.  Sexuality is a choice and making wrong decisions in this category should not be grounds for equal treatment.  Is the choice to be a murderer afforded the same luxuries?  Sexuality should be private for everyone but in order to afford the same rights people should express themselves in the way God intended—one man and one woman in order to create a family.  To do otherwise would make marriage a fallacy—why get married to the one you love when you could “marry” your best friend and have all the benefits?  Our future generations deserve better.  Private lives need to be kept private and legitimate families deserve the utmost respect because they are the only ones who truly deserve the benefits of “marriage.”
