The Reds compounded the Blues' woes in Super Rugby by claiming a 23-11 victory over the New Zealanders at Eden Park on Friday.
The Reds compounded the Blues' woes in Super Rugby by sealing a 23-11 victory at Eden Park on Friday.
From the scoreline the game was won and lost in the first six minutes as the hungry Reds scored two quick-fire tries that had the Blues flailing.
Digby Ioane and Luke Morahan were the men who contributed to the basement-sitting Blues' downfall as further pressure heaps on Pat Lam.
Once again the set-piece was a major concern for the Blues, especially early on as a lack of retained possession proved to be their Achilles heel. The Reds did not need a second invitation to come out of the blocks firing though as they took just two minutes to get over the line, in their first spell. That score came almost from the first kick-off as, after reclaiming the kick-off, the Queenslanders went through the phases before Ioane burrowed over.
Mike Harris could not knock over the extras from wide out against his former employers but the message was sent to the shell-shocked Blues that the Reds, despite all their playmaking injuries this campaign, were not champions for nothing. The visitors would soon be back to further emphasise their intent.
That came only four minutes later in a glaring representation of poor Blues defence in back-play. Wallaby scrum-half Will Genia immediately spotted the frailties wider out and looked for width, which led to George Moala being caught in no man's land against two attackers and the rest was history as full-back Morahan had a simple passage to the line. This time Harris was on-target and the scoreline made for painful reading for the Blues at 0-12.
Pat Lam's ailing outfit needed a foothold and fast on the slippery surface due to the torrential rain that had bucketed down just before kick-off, and after some encouraging passages they were finally on the board courtesy of Luke Braid, who dotted down under a mass of bodies.
That critical score in terms of the Blues' hopes of victory was in the midst of continued troubles at the line-out, while their dismal back-play was leaving something to be desired.
It was 5-12 going past the half-hour in what was a fair reflection of how things had played out between a duo desperate for the points. Gareth Anscombe and Harris then traded a penalty apiece to send them in at 8-15 but it was a case of deja vu after the turnaround.
Out came the Reds again with real intent and this time it took them four minutes to cross the whitewash via wing Dom Shipperley, who scooted over the line after Genia's beautifully-weighted pass found its recipient on the right touchline. It was a hammer blow for the Blues.
That made it 8-20 to the Reds and despite the Blues showing a touch more quality with ball in hand, especially when Benson Stanley and Michael Hobbs entered the fray, a sole Anscombe penalty was their only offering in the second 40. The Reds meanwhile turned down going for the bonus-point and instead took a further three from Harris on 74 minutes.
Victory lifts the Reds up to second in the Australian conference, just a point behind the Brumbies, while the Blues are sitting rock bottom. They go to the Hurricanes next week.

For Blues:
Tries: L Braid
Pen: Anscombe 2
For Reds:

- Shipping Requirements: Overnight
- Milk Type: Goat
- Texture: SemiSoft
- Package Size: 8oz
Queso Clara - 8oz
Product ID: 51100FX
While Spain is known for its sheep's milk cheeses, it's worth giving equal time to the goats. This one, made with raw milk, is rustic and complex with a dry, flaky texture. It starts out herbal with a light tang, then a little sweetness comes in before the tang turns electric; just before sweetening to a caramel finish, an earthy note wafts over. Did you ever think a cheese could play ping-pong with your palate? Approximate weight: 8oz. Overnight shipping required.

"This was a very attractive looking sandal however the fit was very uncomfortable. I purchased it online & expected a great fitting every day sandal that I can wear often & either dress it up or dress it down. The fit in the front ran much too narrow. I couldn't get my narrow foot into this sandal & unfortunately I had to return these."

Our children, friends and neighbors joined us in picking by hand, and are still with us since 2003. February 2, 2008, we opened. The winery was packed with those feisty individuals who came by the previous summers to see the building going up, only to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the winery to taste the wines and give us an opinion. We listened. Now visitors walk the vineyards to compare the grapes with the wine in their glass. Wine tastings are offered without charge. We are open year-round Friday through Sunday. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available for over 200. Today, we produce 5000 gallons of wine from grapes, and we encourage wine education from both sides of the tasting room table. Come join us!

Skip to comments.American crew regains control of pirated ship
Posted on 04/08/2009 8:26:16 AM PDT by Robe
Breaking. Per CBS radio news.. the crew has regained control of the ship throwing three pirates overboard and capturing one.. Will post more.. Breaking
(Excerpt) Read more at CBSNEWS.COM ...
There's only one thing to do with a pirate - if you don't throw him overboard to the sharks, HANG THE B@ST@RD.
Thanks very much for this update. The pirates see a do-nothing weekling at the helm of the country....Not a good situation.
Updated ping
I can't wait to see this. I hope they clean the ocean with these guys. What a proud USA moment in light of all the other victims.
I hope and pray for the best.
I hope the Americans treated the pirates fairly and humanely...NOT!
Yes~! If true, this is what needed to happen, Americans
can,should and will, take care of themselves.
Threw three pirates overboard?
I like it.
Look for the pirates who were thrown over board to sue. I'm sure Mr. Obama will issue an apology to them for good measure.
Damn straight.
Smart sailors- they knew better than to wait for Washington to make a decision.
All right!
Walk the PLANK!
Send them to Gitmo! Oh, wait a minute. never mind.
Bravo Zulu to the crew.
Just because a bunch of LIV's elected a do nothing weakling doesn't mean Americans are do nothing weaklings.
I've heard of some crews repelling the pirates using Molatov's and water cannons,
but I believe this is the first instance of a crew taking the ship back after being taken over.
I wish you hadn't of said that. Thats probably what Obama will do.
Don't mess with the Merchant Marine!
Dare we hope this is 9/11 lessons learned?
Well, the White House has been "monitoring" the situation. Have they taken credit for this latest turn of events yet?
Butt-kicking Americans prevented Obama from having to show his yellow streak. Nice.
Excellent news!
If this is true, I hope the pirates went overboard with their hands tied and got sucked back through the screws. Sharks and plankton gotta eat too, y'know.
Good idea, if you're able to chum for sharks first. Pirates are the cesspool sludge of the earth. We knew how to treat them 250 years ago - apparently some valiant Civilian Mariners haven't forgotten.
So...this couldn't be true.....Our President didn't have time to send Hillary over to have tea and crumpets with the pirates, prostrate herself before the pirates, apologize for our past, current, and future sins, and then ask for the captives to be released, pretty please.
Beat. His. Ass.
... like 'Fight Club'.
What an abuse of the pirates rights.
Wow! The crew is going to be in a lot of trouble when they get to port. They weren't in Texas so home defense will not be available as a defense in court.
"Just because a bunch of LIVs elected a do nothing weakling doesnt mean Americans are do nothing weaklings."
True but the pirates were kept in check because they feared the wrath of the U.S. Navy coming down on them.
Apparently, they don't anymore. Dangerous turning point here.
Feed the bastards to the sharks! LOL.
I don't doubt the American zeal but I do doubt CBS, am waiting for verification.
Obama will be upset, no apologizing today I guess?
It will make a great movie! Congratulations to the American crew!
...Only after Kielhalen...
allu AkbAARRRR
I'm seeing nothing at the link that indicates what you posted. Fox running a story right now about this hijacking, with no mention of any resolution.
I am sure Obama will be VERY firm, telling American Citizens how to treat pirates is probably very high on his list of things he will apologize for, in the next few weeks.
Nothing on the web yet ... but just repeated on WBT Charlotte via a "Pentagon Military Spokesman"
You're effing kidding me!
The American crew jumped the Pirates and threw three overboard and captured one? Watch the demand for American-crewed vessels to skyrocket.
BTW, nothing on FOX confirming this.
FOX is still reporting that the ship is in pirate hands.
Was there a plank involved?
I understood from news reports that this was an 'Alabama' ship. ;-)
Adios ya scurvy rats!
Watching FNC reporting the pirating incident and no mention of the crew taking back control. Hmmmm...
Just heard they captured one and threw three overboard....LMAO
Oh no, we are WATERBOARDING again!!
Fortunately the Merchant Marines (or is that Mariners?) are made of sterner stuff...
There's not much left to mess with in the first place.
Had the Somalis been able to read English, they would have known their hijacking wouldn't end well...

Iraq War Agree or Disagree
Posted 21 April 2005 - 08:27 PM
the grand chessboard.
Posted 21 April 2005 - 08:51 PM
Posted 21 April 2005 - 09:15 PM
i chose to beleive that iraq does have something to do with the war on terror. i'm not going to explain the history of saddam hussein and iraq and how he came to power in iraq but its a very bloody story.
the fact is that the middle east is a very unstable region. us going into afghanistan and iraq is the first step in making it a less anti-american and anti-israeli place. you can call it "world domination" "war for oil" "oppressing the arabs" or what ever you want to. i call it doing what is necessary to protect this country. in 5 years iraq and afghanistan will be on their feet and there will be 55 million arab people in the middle east that are able to stand up to people like saddam and bin laden. why will they be able to do this? because we came in and set up a democratic government. iraq has everthing to do with the war on terror. afghanistan and iraq were pretty much just us planting seeds. you can say we didn't have proof or that bush lied in front of congress to get the war approved. even if he did lie about the wmds i still think the war was the right thing to do. its that phrase "we're here to preserve democracy not to practice it". shady? yes. i still think it was the right thing to do. i'm not saying that bush did give phoney info in front of congress because there was evidence of iraq having wmds. he used sarin gas on iranians during the iran iraq war. the whole world knows about how saddam used sarin gas on the iranians and the kurds. peace nuts foam at the mouth when you ask them about the atrocities that saddam has committed but when you say lets take him down they say oh he isn't that bad. anyways, whether bush lied or not i still think saddam was a rotten apple in the middle east. proof or no proof. if you look at how saddam grew up and how he came to power you would know how dangerous this type of guy is. he doesn't deserve his own country. at least bush will be gone in 3 years. saddam would have been in there for life in iraq if we didn't take him down. why? because saddam has killed and continued to kill anybody that opposed his rule in iraq. its called an iron fist.
i have this to say to you locojet.....if there really are ties to al qaeda in iraq, or there were, and the dems made up there being no connection to hurt the reps, then dont you think they would come out with some if not all of the evidence to defend themselves. the reps are taking a beating in the press and in general for this, and while i dont know how bush got reelected, i think it is really hurting their chances in 08, so why not show the voters some of that evidence?
and about the rotten apple....who are we to go around and pick and choose who we want to take out. not to mention the loss of americans lives, who appointed the US and bush in general, president of the united countries of the world? our country does some good things in terms of peace keeping around the world, but in this case, we brought instability to a part of a region that had too much of it to begin with. this is a huge point of mine, THIS ISNT SIM CITY OR ANY KIND OF GAME. IT IS NOT OUR RIGHT TO GO AROUND AND TAKE OUT GOVERNMENTS AT WILL, UNLESS THEY POSE A DIRECT THREAT TO US. iraq was no where close to a direct threat. north korea is more of a threat as far as im concerned, and they arent even considered a direct threat.
and another good topic of discussion...i noticed you mention israel, anyone want to venture onto that topic in a new thread? let me know and ill make it
Posted 22 April 2005 - 12:01 AM
Posted 22 April 2005 - 12:36 AM
i completely agree, like i said before, with us going into afghanistan and other countries that have to do with 9/11, i never said otherwise. bush did not have to stand there and take it. he could have said, this is why we went to iraq. we have a threat here, or a tie to al qaeda here, but it just isnt there. there is no reason for the government to keep it a secret, and it would benefit them to release that info. the fact is that the info has not been released, saying that there is no proof of any kind of 9/11 connection. as far as im concerned, you cannot connect 9/11 and iraq. if you show me some kind of evidence, any kind of evidence that there is a connection, then to me, it will justify the war. i am not choosing to ignore any kind of evidence. and keeping this friendly : you cant come up with any kind of evidence about why we went into iraq. now about the "connection" you talked about.... al qaeda claims, and i believe them, to be trying to defend the other arab and muslim countries. the obvious problem with them is that they used horrific, inhumane, ways of accomplishing their goal. now if their goal is true, then they can be "defending" iraq in their eyes by tryin to get countries out of iraq, but that doesnt mean they are connected to iraq. if a group wants soldiers out of a country, it doesnt mean they are automatically connected with that country, they may be thinking that they are defending the other arab countries, when they are really making things worse. and even if they were connected, which i know they arent, because of bush's lack of any kind of proof, your reason came about after we entered iraq. al qaeda trying to get us out of iraq is not a reason for us to go in, because if we hadnt have gone in, then there would be none of your proof, and that didnt exist beforehand, as a reason to go in. it came about from us going in.
like i said before, saddam has done some terrible things, but THIS WAR WAS NOT NECESSARY. the armed forces are stretched so thin now, that it did not make sense to go in and the kinds of things that happened mooe than ten years before we went into iraq, happen elsewhere in the world. is it a coincidence that the country happened to have huge oil reserves and it was in a region that was under fire already? sounds like easy picking to me. if this administration was genuinly after things like this, then we should be in east africa, north korea, cuba, liberia, and we should have had more than the 20 marines that we had in haiti. like you said, 1 + 1 = 3. the facts just dont add up.
Posted 22 April 2005 - 02:02 AM
if bush did have proof you probably wouldn't look at it considering you just wrote off what i told you about spain.
as for the rift between this republican administration and the american people. they are all pretty much democrats. a record 58 million americans voted for one candidate last election. that candidate was bush. i think kerry broke the record with 48 million people as well. the rift you speak of exists with every president. the rift you speak of existed between me and good ole blow job bill because of all of his social policies. he sure did blow a mighty fine sax though eh?
people blow out of proportion how stretched thin our military is right now. why? because they hate bush. plain and simple. i'm not one of these people so i dont know for a fact what goes on in their skulls but i think its because they sit on the left side in congress. a person from an anti bush peace organization called me tonight and asked if i could donate money to her cause as she told me that 100,000 iraqi civilians have been killed in the war. i know from reading on this site that the number is more like 25,000. 25,000 is a horrible amount of people so why not just tell the truth. it's like the neo *beep* when they say only 500,000 "undesirables" were killed in the holocaust. only it is in the opposite direction. my point is that the democrats are saying we have our military stretched too thin when we don't. it is thin but if a major war erupted we would be out of iraq and fighting somewhere else in no time. think about it.
i hate it when people ask why not n korea, sudan, iran? blah blah blah. like if we wern't in iraq right now they would be all for us going into one of those countries. give me a break. attacking n korea would be insanity. i already told you guys why a few pages back. its funny that democrats bring up iran and n korea after they chastised bush for calling those countries the axis of evil. they aren't the axis of evil but now they are? you voted for the 87 billion before you voted against it? grow a *beep*ing spine kerry. your a catholic evolutionist. you can do it man!
back to the whole wmd thing. we went into iraq for wmds right? we didn't find any. that doesnt look good. we went into afghanistan to find bin laden and we didn't find him. does it look bad? no. because the democrats already have their golden halibarton war for oil theory and it doesnt suit them to have one about afghanistan and bin laden. they are full of shit. i already told you guys this but kerry stood up there in one of the debates and said "i know where bin laden is he is in afghanistan." what he means is bin laden was last sighted there. same thing with the wmds in iraq. they were there and now they aren't. it is a known fact that they were there. i've seen video of dead iranian people that saddam killed with sarin. kerry says i know he is in afghanistan because he wants to make bush look stupid for going into iraq. i for one didn't fall for this line of shit. the fact is that in afghanistan and iraq killing or capturing bin laden is a bonus but what we really want out of those countries is to help set up governments that dont let guys like bin laden live there and set up training camps there. he was exiled from saudi arabia and now he needs a place to go. if your a government and you harbor or sponsor a terrorist that means you are a terrorist as well. that gives us the right to take you down. you didn't hear bush say this so there isn't any proof? you chose not to see this. it is naive to say that saddam had no connection to terrorists. saddam hates our guts and i dont think he has too high a regard for american life. kerry says different but he must have better intel than the rest of us. your right kerry. saddam wouldn't do something like that to his good buddy the usa. what most democrats dont realize is that people like saddam and bin laden have never even heard of a democrat or a republican. they just want to kill americans for the sake of killing americans.
here you go dude.
communists, fascists, nuts in general like kerry and want him in office. why because he has no spine and he doesnt care about what this nation has fought for for the past 250 years. that thing is freedom. kerry sold everyone a load of shit so he could get elected. real american. not all democrats are like this but ask yourself why all of these anti-american types of people would want kerry as the president of the USA?
i like you and i like having someone to talk to about this stuff. we should open up another thread about israel.

i was speaking for myself with the rift. obviously there are more people (dems) that agree with me, but i wasnt tryin to prove anything about numbers, i was just saying how i could be an american and not support bush.
as for kerry, i may support him in most of his issues, and i know you were addressing dems in general, but just reminding you that kerry's policy doesnt just slap onto me. i disagree with some of his policy too.
i would like for someone to point out the evidence that makes WMDs in iraq a proven fact. and iraq did not harbor terrorists, until there is some kind of evidence it did. of course there are going to be some people that hate america, but there are people in this country (non-arab) that hate america, they are in every country, so that is not a reasonable answer. that doesnt automatically connect them with terrorists. saddam may hate america since we stopped him from invading kuwait (i support that 100%) and he saw it as doing something that wasnt our concern. him hating america doesnt connect him to terrorists. he also may not have a high regard for american life, but do you have a high regard for the lives of people in senegal or new guinea or burma, like you have the regard for the lives of americans or english etc. just because he may hate america or he doesnt have a high regard for their lives, doesnt mean he is connected to terrorists, and THAT is naive. there is absolutely no evidence that you have come up with that connects iraq to al qaeda, other terrorist organizations, or to WMDs. you said yourself that the reason we have the right to take them down was if they were connected to terrorists. since there is no proof that they were, then there is NO justification for the war.
you think that i am naive to the situation and i have to see a signed paper from saddam himself saying he supported and harbored al qaeda or had WMDs to believe it, but that isnt true. i am not oblivious to the fact that other countries have ties to them, even if it isnt spelled out for me, but i truly believe that there is no connection with iraq. and until there is some kind of proof, i wont recognize the war in iraq as justified and i dont think anyone eles should.

i value all human life. saddam is the one that values his life and all of his thugs life more than american lives. not me. saddam is the one that brought this upon himself. hopefully this conflict is resolved as soon as possible so that the iraqi people and our people can live in peace.
if you want to help people in other nations then take it up with the UN. the UN didn't want to help us with iraq so why would they want to help us with burma, chechnya, sudan, n korea or iran? they are ineffective as an international peace keeping organization as far as i'm concerned. just because people deny there is a war on or deny that a certain war should be fought doesn't mean that we live in peace. 9/11 was an act of war. taking out afghanistan wouldn't have done much on the war on terror if you look at the middle east as a whole.

It seems to me that everyone else here is arguing pretty logically, but you can't come on here and make statements that aren't true. On the football forums, if someone fudges a bit, fine. But read some of these reports, even just the summarys of them, and then tell me that this stuff is made up. Iraq didn't have connections with Al Queda, or at least they didn't have good ones. There may be terrorists there NOW, but that is not the same as them being there before the start of the war.
Or, and I'm not saying you can't believe numbers on here, as you said you saw the "offical" stats on here, but what makes you believe that HermismyHero's numbers are right? I mean, why believe what he is saying? Shouldn't you try and find supporting information? What a person says on a message board is pretty unreliable (no offense HimH, but I think you're numbers are low estimates from the American side).
The way you are bashing Micheal Moore (who I agree distorts facts) or anti-war protestors and promoting the right wing versions of him who make movies, write books, and creat websites strictly trying to discredit him for their own gains I see most of what your saying as someone who will only listen to the Conservative point of view.
I'm not some pot smoking hippy who thinks all war is bad, but I DO expect government to not lie to me. If you are ready to accept that, to any degree, than be prepared for our country to fall. When we start letting our leaders lie to us, and get away with it, it is only a matter of time until they start doing it to usurp the power we have invested. Whether you feel the war was justified because we took an evil dictator out of power is irrelavant to the fact that the Administration lied. Far too often in the past decades Americans have given a pass to our leaders. It is time we started expecting them to act like we should expect from the representatives of a democracy, and not like money-hungry, women-chasing scum.
Gmany3k, one of my points a while back was a lot of the worst dictators out there are people that the US has set up with the notion of stabalizing a region to better US interests, even at the expense of more democratic leadership that was in place before. Thanks for adding to that.

exposing someone like micheal moore isn't called bashing him. poor michael moore.

Once someone lies to you, isn't hard to trust them anymore?
Posted 22 April 2005 - 07:35 PM
i always bring up kerry when i'm in a debate about iraq or terror or what have you because kerry was the only alternative to bush. thats why its important. i would never vote for someone like kerry. i dont agree with alot of things bush does and the same goes for democrats. i wish there was a party that was in the middle. i cant vote for one guy and tell myself that he will represent me as an individual. the point is that bush is the one that best represented me in '04. by alot i might add. i dont think it will change in '08 seeing as how the democrats want hillary to run. do they want to win? if the democrats can come up with a candidate that will protect the poor, my constitutional rights and believe in having a strong military i will vote for them. if there was a democrat that was like that he wouldn't be following the democrat party line. hillary is for sure not that person. bush most closely resembled that person in '00 and '04. thats why i voted for him. kerry is all for protecting the poor but thats about it.

Skip to comments.MATH TEACHER ESCORTED OUT BY POLICE, SET TO BE FIRED FOR OPPOSING PLANNED PARENTHOOD
Posted on 03/24/2013 12:23:53 PM PDT by barmag25
An Oregon public school teacher says hes on the verge of being fired because of his outspoken views against Planned Parenthood and abortion.
Bill Diss, who taught at Benson High School in Portland for 11 years, was placed on paid leave March 19 and recommended for dismissal, the Oregonian reported. That day, the math teacher said he was given a few minutes to collect his things and was escorted from school premises by police, according to the Christian News Network.
Diss is a staunch Roman Catholic and blocked two Planned Parenthood workers from entering his classroom in September because, he said, they lacked proper identification.
Planned Parenthood is a partner in the Portland school districts Teen Outreach Program, aimed at preventing teen pregnancy, and funded by a federal Department of Health and Human Services grant, according to the Oregonian.

"We will tell you what you believe."
Shortened title.
Makes me sick to my stomach. This is a good man and he will be richly rewarded someday.
So glad that I decided against becoming a teacher.
It is no longer possible to peacefully stand up to the commies.
All we can do is try to protect our own kids and wait for the nation to collapse into murder and chaos.
Why are two members of that evil organization doing trying to show up to a MATH class ?
I thought tenured teachers were almost impossible to get fired.
If I had been in his shoes, and I knew I was about to get fired, I would have shown the kids in the class pictures of exactly what abortion is. I wonder how they would have received the Planned Parenthood murder-squad then.
What the dickens kind of business does PP even have in a "math class"?
If the health class teacher wanted them to speak, that might be a different issue (and I'd expect them to give equal time to adoption rescue agencies). But in a math class? It does not add up, pardon the pun.
And anyhow, for standing on school rules, they shouldn't be canning this fellow.
The humans involved may be pretty clueless, but a "backstage view" a la Screwtape Letters might read very much like this.
My husband (a ten-year public school full-time substitute) was just fired March 4 for discussing abortion during a government class (a year ago!). He was stating Santorum's views.
Joe has 8 condoms. Jack has 13 condoms. They both want to get laid with Jill and.... I won't write the rest, but the sick jokes write themselves.
If I was one of those teens, I'd screw around with their heads and make them nervous.
"I don't believe that these are quality products. How about we test them right here and now! First go get a rope and asphyxiate yourselves to turn me on..yeaaaa..."
The truly disturbing part is that the teens are taking all this crap seriously and treating lowlifes with respect. They also did nothing to protect the teacher who cared for them.
In a generation or two, this country will deserve total annihilation.
The same Dem party that loves abortion SO much pretends to give a damn about children..they are the true definition of hypocrites..God Bless this teacher for sticking up for his beliefs..abortion is MURDER..PERIOD
When a Christian faith wanes, it isn't replaced with just nothing. Demons come in.
There is a 99% probability that this exact question is already on a high school exam.
They are unless you break ranks with the liberal agenda. Then it is immediate and permanent.
It usually takes 10 to 15 years to execute a convicted killer with all of the appeals and protests, but it took Timothy McVey (sp)about 7 months to meet his end.
It isn't hypocrisy! It is the machine that is in place right now. We can win an occaisional battle but the few are in charge and that is the way that it is until WE change it and them.
If Joe and Jack were liberals, they'd be going up the hill together, w/o Jill, if you catch my drift.
I'd think they'd have the class calculate how likely it is that Jill will end up needing an abortion anyhow....
Teach kids how to use condoms, how to use day after pill, how to get abortions and that deviant sex is A-OK.
Sick freaks and we as taxpayers are forced to pay for this crap.
Until America refuses to put up with this, this is what it will get.
Need a good lawyer? The first amendment does protect speech from the "right" side as well as the left.
He advocated breaking their First Comandment:
Thou Shalt Kill!
A fund should be set up for him. A way for Americans to rally behind him is in order. How can a fund be set up for him?
The principal told the teacher the people were coming to talk to his class and he refused them admittance, violating the boss' instructions. Grounds for firing in most workplaces. Whether the principal should have given those instructions is another story, but it's Portland, and I am sadly confident the voters who elect his boss, the school board, will affirm the principal's choice.
PP's "prevent teen pregnancy" schtick is sooo fraudulent. Most of their income comes from abortions. They encourage careless teen sexual activity, which multiplies the potential client base at their abortion mills!
It sounds like the Oregon "schools" support the murder of infants. I'll bet they are really pissed off about Sandy Hook though.
The tactic is censorship through the threat of destroying ones ability to earn a living. Didn't they do this in Russia when they shipped the wage earner to Siberia?
I believe they are opposed to multiplication
We must follow his example and take a stand against tyranny and evil whenever they present themselves.
Anti-Planned Parenthood Math Teacher?
I bet she can find a job in TX or OK. Know for sure that TX defunded Planned Parenthood.
She might be happier in Texas anyway.
Anti-Planned Parenthood Math Teacher?

That's exactly what I was thinking. I would like to see the school's behavioral objectives (The Student Will Be Able To....) for that math lesson and how it fits into the overall math curriculum.
Let's try an experiment. Let's have principals all over the country tell their math classes that some pro-lifers will be in to talk to the classes. Or maybe some skinheads or Nazis. (Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was a white supremacist). Let's see if anything happens.
I'm sad to hear that. Was it kids, parents, other teacher, administrators, or somebody else who ganged up on him?
They should calculate how likely it is that the guys who have the condoms so they can screw Jill end up like the boys at Steubenville, OH, who behaved like animals and treated a passed-out girl as if she was an animal... just like Planned Parenthood is telling these kids they can't help but act.
"Portland Public Schools recognizes the diversity and worth of all individuals and groups and their roles in society. It is the policy of the Portland Public School Board that there will be no discrimination or harassment of individuals or groups on the grounds of age, color, creed, disability, marital status, national origin, race, religion, in any educational programs, activities or employment."
Considering that his view on abortion where known in the school, you can bet that this was all staged as an excuse to get rid of him so as to have something to fall back on just in case if he sues for wrongfully termination or worse discrimination.
Mary has a three month supply of birth control and cannot afford more because of evil conservatives. When Mary becomes pregnant, how much money does she need to get an abortion?
Jim has three condoms. He cannot afford anymore because of evil conservatives. When he gets his girlfriend pregnant, how I'll he pay for the abortion?
Was looking for Bill Diss's email and found this article:
"Oregon Teacher Escorted From High School By Police For Opposing Planned Parenthood in Classroom"
According to reports, last year, Planned Parenthood of Columbia Williamette began promoting its Teen Outreach Program (TOP) at Benson High School where Diss is employed as a teacher. In September, two representatives from the organization showed up at Diss classroom as they were hoping to speak to students. However, he would not let the representatives enter and asked them to leave.
Planned Parenthood of Columbia Williamette is behind a youth sex campaign called Take Care Down There, which includes a website that features a warning that the content is for mature viewers before guests are allowed to enter. The site includes such controversial skits as Hot and Heavy, Bring Your Sister, Threesome and The Down There Song, as well as other titles that are too graphic for Christian News Network to repeat.
Makes me sick.
Planned Parent is a killing machine.
Bill Diss is a hero.
The HS officials are assholes.
Planned Parenthood is a killing machine.
Thank you! One of the students told her parents, and the parent called in.
IOW, this teacher was removed because he would not accept the mark (character) of the beast system - deception, lies, filth, degredation, corruption, and all other manner of defilement of the body and spirit.
This will be the MO of Obamacare (denial-of-service care). Those unwilling to be coerced and corrupted into managed thought and behavior will be unworthy of medical care. Passive death panels by default, symbolized (or inaugurated) by employment death panels. The unemployable "lepers" (EBTless by choice) will have a tough time buying food or otherwise engaging in commerce.
Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
"Embrace the dark side or die" is the guiding principle of the obama nation of desolation.
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Here is the patience and the faith of the saints...
