Know Your Scumbags.
jennings exhibit
Catholic Bishop = Used Condom.

Obama’s Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings funded a pornographic anti-Christian art show now on display at Harvard University.
Mass Resistance reported:

If you want to know what Americans can expect in public schools, look no further.

Kevin Jennings is Barack Obama’s “safe schools” czar in the US Department of Education. He’s also the founder of the national homosexual group GLSEN, which sets up “gay straight alliance” clubs in high schools and middle schools across America. GLSEN is officially supported by the Massachusetts Legislature.

Jennings is also a former member of the radical homosexual group “Act Up”, and he contributed to this depraved and offensive museum exhibit on “Act Up” now at Harvard University (see press release) .

But please don’t judge the president by the many Mao-supporters and radicals who he surrounds himself with.

For more on the show go to Mass Resistance

    A dear friend recently told me that all that’s going on is beyond mere politics, that she suspects that what we are struggling against in the political sphere today is true evil. Images such as this one–trashing a man who was and saintly and classy and fair and kind–make me think she may be right.

    Gosh, I wonder why they did not have any mention of Dianne Feinstein’s contribution to the spread of AIDS in San Francisco?

    As Mayor, she doggedly kept the bath houses open for years AFTER SHE KNEW they were spreading AIDS in them. Dianne contributed to the deaths of thousands, if not more, through her policies of ‘keeping the spread going’ for years!

    Way to go Dianne Feinstein!

    That HIV/AIDS is spread by homosexual activity is, indeed, a FACT.

    “Global warming”, however, is nothing more than a scam being perpetrated upon gullible leftists.

    Only a naive, biased, LIBTARD fool could not have put 2 and 2 together.
    Obama APPROVES of Jennings, because Jennings is a LEFTIST radical.
    Obama didn’t delve into the PEDO part and the Radical HOMO part of Jennings. Obama thinks that the KEVIN JENNINGS of the world or country are HIS PEOPLE.

    Joe as I recall Clinton knew before hand that the genocide in Rwanda was going to happen and did nothing not even to pass this information on to the UN that may have, although doubtful, prevented it. Clinton instead sat on his hands pretty much like Carter. Clinton spent weeks arguing about the definition on the word genocide. Clinton, when he finally did act, was to send 50 APCs into Rwanda but then held that up because Clinton wanted the cash from the UN before he committed them. Clinton was such a humanitarian. Thanks to Clinton 800,000 Rwandans died needlessly.
    You see Joe, although I doubt this post will ever help you see the light that its the democrats who love genocide and those that perpetrate it.

    “What is wrong with my school Czar Kevin Jennings?”

    “He is deeply involved with Barney Frank and the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network. Kevin helps young straight boys get appointments at Barney Frank’s penthouse in DC. That’s right up his alley. And once they there they do ‘Barney Frank Boogie’ like there was no tomorrow.”

    “So what if Kevin is supporting gay porn? Look, 18 years ago Kevin and Magic Johnson had some White Bread and Chocolate doughnut sex. Today, they are both get up in the morning like normal men, take a cocktail of AIDS medication, and go to the ‘Hot Man’ Bathhouse each day. There is nothing wrong with that.”

    “Sure, there are some pictures of Anal sex at my old Amateur. It is called the Harvard Art smut show, but that’s how progressive my Administration has become. Did you see the Pope hat? It is shaped just like a condom? And, KNOW YOUR SCUM BAGS is funny. Isn’t that an artistic statement?”

    “Barney Frank gets out that same hat and paints two M’s on each cheek with red lipstick so when he bends over it cleverly spells MoM or come shaft MoM. See pigs can flirt… I mean fly… or what ever…”

    “That’s the type of art that belongs in the Harvard Art Show – in fact it belongs in every school’s art show. Just ask Kevin. “Your Tax Dollars at Work” as they say.”

    “Now, we need the taxpayer’s money to support such shows… and, to help off-set the huge HIV expense that 0bamaCare will incur with the entire gay community and illegal alien community included. Look, getting HIV drug cocktails each day and pasting used condoms on school walls is expensive.”

    “No, I will not be joining ObamaCare. It’s for the stupid taxpayers. I am a net tax user. And, my advice to you is to get on the dole and become a net tax user. It’s fun to feed at the government trough. And, it is a great way of shafting the taxpayer.”

    “My limousine is running and Kevin and I have some personal matters to discuss in private. GLSEN-up or at least butter your buns because you are about to get the shaft. And, Know Your Scum Bags. Ha! I must go.”

    During the early stages of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, gay populations were being decimated by the virus, and politicians were doing absolutely *nothing* to fund education, research, or prevention of HIV transmission. As scandalous as its methods may have been, ACT UP was an organization that demanded that attention be given to the issue, rather than having thousands die just because Evangelical so-called “Christ”ians didn’t give a fuck whether they lived or died.

    So yeah, the methods of ACT UP were impassioned, raw, and gloves-off. If conservatives were being decimated by a so-called “conservative” disease, and liberal politicians were doing nothing to stop its spread, you’d probably use the same tactics.

    As much as the gay community would like to forget all about it, the ’80s are a part of our history, and this exhibition illustrates the time quite well.

    So why didn’t they use a picture of Jimmy Carter – he’s a Christian. Why pick the Catholics again – oh wait, I know, I know. The Catholic Church has the fullness of truth – it must be destroyed.
    This is just garbage and if my tax dollars are paying for it – in a time of recession / depression – this needs to stop. Where are the men and women who can stand up and speak – the people in power who can change this? More institutional bigotry.
    And, just to be clear, I understand that there have been some BAD Catholics out there – pederast priests, abortion supporting politicians, etc. They walked away from the truth and used their retained positions of power to control and abuse the people. Happens in all walks of life, all religions, all peoples – it’s original sin, baby. Grace transforms and the truth shall set you free.

    Harvard just made a huge mistake…

    How could they let their alumni (whom they also awarded an honorary degree and made sure many got the dream of attending

    Since no one has posted Jennings ’security’ bonafides or accomplishments besides the homosexual agenda, and Joe wants to distract us… i’ll play.

    re: It was conservatives that denied AIDS

    Um no, it was (and continues to be), those who bar hop, have multiple partners and have vengeance along with ‘i’m still alive and you’re gonna feel my pain’ disordered mentality.

    Do you know how many friends and family I put in the ground for their selfishness? Only ‘one’ had a relationship of any length.

    Since when was it conservatives or anyone elses responsibility to care about your consequences from private actions?

    Just like taxpayers in my state pay our ‘public, earned’ taxes for some clueless womans ‘private, stay out of my bedroom’ decision, their abortion. But it’s all of a sudden ‘our’ problem because they don’t think.

    Is it too much to ask for thought on consequences, responsibility, odds before sex?

    If you ask me, my kids having wheat pitas instead of white bread or taking out soda machines isn’t the huge ‘health’ issue, they should have started with reckless behaviors… but then I guess you’d call them fascist.

    Like abortion is ‘healthcare’ (not for the woman or the child obviously), what happens because others can’t control themselves is not high on my radar. It doesn’t help that the ’safe for homosexuals, NAMBLA head backing, ACT UP participating’ czar forces deviant practices upon our children with no regard as to what the parents think or believe.

    I want you to tell me Kevin didn’t know about NAMBLA and Harry with a straight face; He did. I want ONE of you to tell me you’re okay with that. Who in the gay community, especially back when, didn’t know who Harry was?

    Equality is not being special or throwing your 2% agenda down the throats of the world.
    It’s private, we want to be equal, yet at the SF parades, butt out, S&M, genitals out, we’re supposed to accept it and expose our children to it.

    Joe, as far as global warming…
    You do have a brain, wear clothes and go outside right?
    You do realize what you breathe out and kinda like to eat things grown in the ground as well?

    The dumbing down of America. Yuri Bezmenov was right, and misery loves company.

    Personal rant:

    What pisses me off most is the hate for O’Connor. A lot of those still around from back then know the truth and continue to bash him (several which I knew was at the bedside of their partners when the Cardinal was with them); That flames me.

    That man accepted AIDS patients when no one would (I still remember when the first AIDS clinic, then later the dentist was set up, no one wanted to touch patients back then), and went to the hospitals and hospices and bathed them ‘out of the spotlight’. I’ve seen that with ‘my own eyes’. He had every excuse not to, but as a bishop and Christian he had to… whether he wanted to or not. He showed them the love of the fathers that didn’t.

    Because he has to follow Catholicism, he loved the person, not what he was doing to himself. The soul, not the body vs. it being all about the body, not the soul for them. But because he wouldn’t give up his religion for lip service to give them bask time… till this day the St. Patrick’s and other services are disrupted. I’ve seen the eucharist stomped on, spouted profanities, etc. at masses. For what? He was there for my cousin James (that was a Marine btw), my brother Eric, my friend Ronnie who was a fabulous performer and other friends I hung out with (RIP). All ended badly for them and all the people they ‘thought’ would be there for them didn’t come… and those they thought ‘hated’ them were (you never know till it gets down to the nitty gritty); Maybe one or two friends, then no support. I know this though, absolutely none of them would have went for Jennings praise of Hay… and would have told him what his mama looked like (or worse) for saying it.

    I’m so tired of adults blaming the outcome of their actions on others. “The Church doesn’t let them have condoms, they don’t educate”. In the faith, whether you’re Tom, Dick, Nancy, Lucy, if you’re not married, you shouldn’t be sleeping around… period. Everything, including the faith should change and go to hell? I don’t think so. Hello, you’re out in the field, you have a brain, you tell them and use them.

    I would be impressed with any group of artists who were brave enough to take on Islam. But, it takes no courage, or even audacity to attack Christians. I’ve finally accepted we have become the new “ni@@ers” as the left cannot exist without having someone to label as beneath their own moral, intellectual and cultural superiority. They don’t seem to understand that in doing so they have set the stage for the same kind of response generated by that group as a result of their oppressive behavior. Some people never learn from history but history is an equal opportunity teacher.

    speaking of the Pope, i didn’t see a post
    about his recent speech to the faithful..

    Vatican City, Oct 21, 2009

    [Pope Benedict XVI addressed almost 40,000 people on Wednesday about a figure known as “the last of the Fathers of the Church,” St. Bernard of Clairvaux. The Holy Father spoke to the gathered faithful about how St. Bernard's example should show them that true understanding of the Faith requires an “intimate relationship with the Lord” and profound faith.

    Pope Benedict began his catechesis by describing the life of the celebrated French saint.

    Born in 1090 in Fontaines, France to a "numerous and fairly well off” family, Bernard studied grammar, rhetoric and dialectic. At 20 years-old he entered the monastery of Citeaux, which the Pope described as a “more rigorous” monastic foundation than the existing ones of the time.

    In 1115 he was sent by St. Stephen Harding, third abbot of Citeaux, to found a new monastery at Clairvaux, where Bernard himself became abbot. At Clairvaux the saint "insisted on the importance of a sober and restrained lifestyle, in food, in clothing and in the structures of the monastery, at the same time encouraging support and assistance for the poor."

    Together with his theological writings and homilies, including the celebrated Sermons on the Song of Songs, Bernard maintained a vast correspondence, developed warm friendships with his contemporaries, defended sound doctrine, and combated heresy and outbreaks of anti-Semitism. Benedict XVI recalled Bernard’s writings against the heresy of the Cathars who despised the material and the body and thus despised the Creator. This monk defended the Jews, so much so that a rabbi, Ephraim, “addressed a stirring tribute” to him.]
