Ted Haggard
Busted, for Paying for Gay Sex
By Ronnie LoBello
As the old saying about "those living in glass houses" goes, It just amazes me how many people who cry about morality and judge people about their sexuality can be so gay themselves. I truly feel sorry for him.
A lifetime of religious brainwashing and fear obviously mentally twisted this poor dude.
Who will be the next ‘right wing fruitcake’ to get busted, and get pulled out of the closet?
Just like a gay basher, being gay him self and can’t deal with it. Self hating and lives in so much fear of any one knowing about his gayness, he lashes out at other gays to cover up his own gay urges.
At least Ted Haggard wasn’t going around beating up gays in the street or so we hope. There are a large number of police files of gays being physically attacked by this type of gay hater. So I guess he got what he had coming.
All I can say is, a lot of Christians should be glad to know that there is no Hell.
Or perhaps maybe Christianity is Hell.
About Religion, Fear and Politics
By Ronnie LoBello
I’m proud to say that I am not a member of any religious organization. I’m not a Christian a Jew or Muslim. However Christianity is the religion that probably influenced my life the most, being Italian descent and all.
My father was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church after he devorecd his first wife, church rules you know, The catholic church has been a major part of the LoBello families faith for generations, It seems very cold hearted to ostracize someone for discovering that they don’t love the one they are married to, or vice versa. I grew up in a family that had been divided into several parts over Religious Idealism. My mother came from an Irish protestant background, which caused a lot of conflict because of; predigest narrow mindedness on both sides of the family. Soon my mother and father separated. (Not for religious reasons.) During this time I experienced life in two foster homes the first one was fairly institutional, run by a Lutheran Christian organization it was strongly recommended that I attended church and Sunday school. As a good seven years old, I generally did what I was told. By the time I was in the second foster home, the people who ran it were some other kind of Christian thing. By this time it’s just a lot of the same, just said in different languages. After this I lived with my oldest half sister who was Baptist convert from catholic, and was really going over the top with it. Don’t get me wrong I still think she one of the best people you’ll ever find.
Ok it didn’t stop there; later on when I was about eleven years old I’m now living with my dad who believes that all religion is a bunch of voodoo hoha. But he now has a Jewish girl friend that would let me stay at her house after school until my dad would get home. Often she would help me with my homework. She also thought me a lot of Jewish values and took me to temple now and then too. This was a refreshing look at religion and life, and by this time I have just started to get the meaning of it all and putting in perspective a better understanding of the world. Later still when I was about nineteen years of age I had a friend who was a member of the Church of Scientology.
She told me a lot of great things about L. Ron Hubbard, so attended some classes there and read some books by L. Ron such as Dianetics and a few others. Scientology seems to be on the borderline of being a business cult and or fraternity, but I felt that it didn’t have too much to do with spirituality although it still has a lot of good philosophy and knowledge of the human psyche.
I do not have much knowledge of the Muslim world although I live on Chicago’s north side near Loyola University where large populations of Muslim people live. One thing I have observed is that they are respectable people who do not seem to judge others for their religious background but by the person they are. Not like the hateful angry people portrayed on the TV news.
The Islamic fundamentalist I keep hearing about who want to kill all those who are Christian or Jewish either are not in Chicago or really don’t exist except in the twisted minds of the mislead and misinformed. Politicians use the dividing line between the religions to create the fear of the unknown in order to divide and conquer, there is another religion that is a virus to many of the world religions these are the Neocons. Neocons pretend they are, or support Christians or Jews when it is necessary to gain financial support for their political campaigns, by kissing up to different religious or interest groups and placing wedges between these groups by dividing people with fear and by building hatred of each other. By doing this the now can set the stage for war and by using false flag operationsThis has been done in the attacks on September the eleventh and the London subway bombings and if you do your research you will find hundreds of examples. Why do they do this? Because there is a great deal of profit made on the business of war. For example Dick Cheney has ties to Halliburton corporation, Gorge Bush comes from a long line of Oil men and close ties to foreign oil families and so on.
The Neocons have infiltrated the governments of United States, United Kingdom, and Israel, this why they do the unspeakable acts of war such as the US invasion of Iraq and UK who just seems to go with any thing the US says, or the Israeli attacks on the Lebanese and Palestinian people.
Most all people are intelligent enough to see that, except for about thirty percent, mostly Americans, can’t see how wrong this is and how corporate driven all this killing is. Why can't Americans see the corruption is because of the corporations run news media? Because the majority of Americans get their news from Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN. These network news sources are all paid for and owned by the largest corporations and its supporters, and the very same people that make profit off of war. And be aware of all the people like you and me that hold small jobs such as retailers and factory workers are the worker bees of the great machine and must learn to make better decisions in our lifestyles.
What I am trying to say is that we have to listen to all points of view and beliefs of all faiths. The one thing that I truly believe is that all people come from the same source or god or whatever you believe and know body really knows what that is no one knows what or who god is. What we do know is that we can get along a lot better with tolerance and expectance of each other as long as people preach hatred and fear we are on a downward spiral. It scares me when I here words of hatred coming out of religious leaders mouths such as Pat Robertson’s remark about killing Hugo Chavez or the leader of Hamas talking about complete destruction of Isreal, the pope reciting ancient text from hate mongers of the past and the Neocons feeding into all this so they can sell there weapons to both sides George Bush kisses up to all sides he claims to be a Christian but work with Israel against the Arab States and then makes business deals with the rich Arabs while they shit on the poor Arabs. Obviously religion and Corporations should stay separate and stay out of government and visa versa. Government must work for the people I mean all people.
Report from Associated Press
War Crime: As Israel surrounds Gaza with troops, tanks lined up and helicopter gunships on standby, ready for an 'extensive operation', Their supporters call for a massacre of the Palestinian people - "Knock them off one by one until they relent" as one puts it on the BBC News comments pages. The world can see how strong Israel is with their hardcore military weaponry gleaming in the heat waiting to be put into action. The catalogue of weapons at their disposal is impressive, and chilling: fighter aircraft, missiles: air-to-surface, surface-to-surface..., tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery, attack helicopters, submarines and missile craft (we've already seen what they can do to a Palestinian family on a Gaza beach) - and we mustn't forget the nuclear warheads, biological and chemical weapons & atom bombs.While the media focus on Olmert's words warning that "a large-scale military operation is approaching", With no comment about what the consequences of such action will be for the Palestinian people, And as they relate the concern for the Israeli soldier being held prisoner by Palestinian fighters - the media expresses no concern about the thousands of Palestinian political prisoners held by Israel. The actions of the racist Israeli state and that of their supporters, which includes the BBC, illustrate their total disregard and contempt for Palestinian lives. Rabbi Moshe Levinger, the worst kind of Zionist extremist, founder of the settlements in Hebron, could be the spokesperson for Olmert, Bush, the BBC and our very own government and great leader Tony Blair when, in response to a question about the massacre of Palestinians carried out by one of his followers in Hebron 1994, He says he is "sorry not only about dead Arabs but also about dead flies". It is nothing new that Israel prefers the word 'operation' to massacre as a poll carried out by Israeli TV showed following the massacre of Palestinians in 1994. The poll "established that at least 50% of Israeli Jews would approve of the massacre, provided that it was not referred to as a massacre but rather a 'Patriach's Cave Operation'". In Hebron today there is a monument to the mass murderer 'Saint Baruch Goldstein'. Whether carried out by a far right extremist settler or by the Israeli government, massacre of Palestinians seems to be acceptable through the eyes of the media and by the 'British values' our government wishes us all to adopt.Our media will not speak of Palestinians and certainly not about the men, women and children being held as political prisoners by Israel, they will not speak about the humiliation, continued dispossession and ethnic cleansing carried out by Israel on a daily basis against Palestinians, never mind the torture of Palestinian prisoners - no matter that they include women and children.Contact the Bureau Chief's of BBC and CNN in Palestine to tell them to cover what is going on right now in Gaza as fully as possible, so that the millions of people they reach see the ongoing violence of Israeli missile strikes. Demand also that they break their silence on the story of thousands of Palestinians detained and tortured by Israel.

The impeachment or censuring of George Bush will make a very little difference on the way the way the US bullies third world countries throughout the world. There are many other Neocon wing nuts in our government driven by corporate greed and religious fanaticism. How ever it is a start. Like a forest, cutting one tree does not get rid of the forest but to get rid of the forest you must start with a tree. Not that I advocate getting rid of forest but you know what I mean. There are a lot of trees in the proverbial forest of Neocons and right wing religious mad men creating a dysfunctional world to fit their illusions. We must be vigilant and proactive or these people I talk about will slowly take the freedom we all enjoy away. To get America on course to the ideals of freedom and liberty the "American dream" will take work, America has never realized the full potential of these ideas but we have tasted it. The freedoms we take for granted such as free speech right to religion of choice did not come without a struggle. To get to the freedoms we do have came from clear thinking citizens who wanted a better world. They saw that the reasons for poverty and oppression where politically driven. And the people in power werenÂ’t about to give in to the peopleÂ’s demands without a fight. So the struggle still continues today. ItÂ’s a continuous maintenance program and improvement is always needed Hurricane Katrina demonstrated that.
Iran and Nuclear Power.
There is a lot of fear that Iran is developing nuclear capabilities to attack Israel.
This may be partly true. So you should ask why Iran would want to do such a thing. Because if Iran did attack the retaliation from Israel and allies such as the United States and the United Kingdom would be there demise. Maybe the reason would be this. If Iran had the ability to strike with a nuclear weapon it would be hard if not impossible to invade or attack Iran.
Isn’t that why the US and Israel rationalizes having weapons of mass destructions themselves as a defense against an attack? And isn’t it to stabilize peace by detouring any invasion of a foreign army?
It’s no secret that George Bush wants to occupy Iran with a strong military presents ,and it’s very obvious that this idea is supported by Israel and will also be supported by Tony Blair of the UK.
There is a propaganda war going on with the spread of fear and hatred this war is being lead by lies put into our news media. Who runs this media? The dominant name on this list is Rupert Murdock an Australian newsman worth billions of dollars he owns and controls over ¾ of the news agencies around the world. Including the Twentieth Century Fox movie studio, Fox News Channel, TV stations and a number newspapers and the HarperCollins book publisher, Being a Zionist his news network will generally give a very favorable view of Israel and a negative view of the Islamic world, often provoking hatred toward Muslims. For example the coverage of the protest going on over the Mohamed cartoons it is not as wide spread as the news makes it seem, and there seems to be an outside influence in sighting the riots. This is a very minuscule part of the whole Muslim population.
Now wait a minute. Now lets not forget about the Zionist best friend and partner in crime the Christian Coalition of America Headed by Pat Robertson. Pat has a lot of bigoted ideas of the world and is a strong contributor to the Republican Party and has a lot of influences over the Neocons who are in power of the United States, you know the ones with the most powerful army with the most nuclear weapons of mass destruction ever seen in the history of the world. This is why Iraq looks like a threat its made to look like a society of violence crazed lunatics bent on destroying the free world because they don’t like our freedom bla bla bla.
This is the message coming over the mainstream news network. Who are the Neocons? Historically, neoconservatives supported a militant anticommunism, tolerated more social welfare spending than was sometimes acceptable to libertarians and mainstream conservatives, and sympathized with a non-traditional foreign policy agenda that was less deferential to traditional conceptions of diplomacy and international law and less inclined to compromise principles even if that meant unilateral action. Indeed, domestic policy does not define neoconservatism — it is a movement founded on, and perpetuated by an aggressive approach to foreign policy, free trade, opposition to communism during the Cold War, support for Israel and Taiwan and opposition to Middle Eastern and other states that are perceived to aledgedly support terrorism.Broadly sympathetic to Woodrow Wilson's idealistic goals to spread American ideals of government, economics, and culture abroad, they grew to reject his reliance on international organizations and treaties to accomplish these objectives.Compared to other U.S. conservatives, neoconservatives may be characterized by an aggressive moralist stance on foreign policy, a lesser social conservatism, and a much weaker dedication to a policy of minimal government.
So you ask who should we fear?

There is a lot of brouhaha in the news today about a cartoon that was published in some of the newspapers around Denmark a few months ago. It’s the publication of caricatures of the Muslim prophet Muhammad. This is what the Palestinian and many Islamic people are protesting about lately. This protest is hurting the Danish export business by having a boycott on all Danish products in the Islamic states. The issue was made worse by a basic misunderstanding on the part of the protesters. Arab nations demanded an apology from the Danish government and also asked Copenhagen to punish the authors of the drawings. However, neither act is possible for a western democracy. I’m a true believer in reporting the news as accurately as possible and that should never be censored. But when when your making fun of somebody even in good humor you should back off if your upsetting the people your making fun of. Because now they are being insulted and this is how many fights began. I personally believe that they are over reacting and behaving very immature. However we must be mature about this and more responsible and have a little sensitivity. Insults are not necessary. On the other hand Islam must lighten up a bit. Its just a cartoon. There are far more important issues to focus on. And Denmark should grow up and stop insulting and antagonizing its world neighbors. It dose not accomplish anything. By the way,I have not seen these cartoons for myself and would surly like to. If you know where I could see them I would be grateful.

With all the lies that the Bush Administration has given us,We cannot take any thing they say or do at face value. Since this tragedy was used to rally America into a war based on lies and deception we must all ask questions. As good patriots who love our country we must question our leaders when they have consistently failed us in as many ways as Bush and his team of gangsters have.Visit News Links News and the 9/11 Report Thank you /Ronnie LoBello
