Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino told Orthodox Jewish leaders on Sunday he doesn't want children "brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality" is acceptable.

I certainly hope it helps him. Our American morals are basically gone. We could use a few elected officials that promote logical thinking. I, for one, think that when God said "Go forth, be fruitful and multiply, he did not mean "AIDS."
Democrats are bad enough, now we gotta have gay ones? Get outta here.
Shame on you Shelia......I thought you were more open minded. Obviously you have a lesson to learn and by God he will send you one. I just hope it's as painless as possible.
CDC statistics show that 73% of persons living with a diagnosis of HIV infection are male adults or adolescents. Over half of men diagnosed with HIV became infected through male-to-male sexual contact.
Call your CDC, don't fuss with me. I do not care what you stick where, Honey. But if you think Gay is OK...go do it your way. You have your opinion, I have mine. Have a Gay day.
I believe you have your facts wrong, Ms. Tolley. The disease of AIDS does not stem from homosexuality. Nor does it target only homosexuals. If this were true, thousands of heterosexual men and women world wide would not be affected by the disease.
Furthermore, this country was based on religious and social freedom. Yes, founded under the Christian God, but founded upon religious freedom and tolerance. It is ethically unsound and wholly un-America to force one's viewpoints on someone else. Though Christian doctrine dictates the sin of homosexuality, the Constitution states freedom- in all it's forms. Thus, no body of government can truly tell another human HOW to live, or with whom. Frankly, you all should be ashamed. As a Christian, I know in my heart Christ would not cast such harsh, negative judgments on others. Let us allow these people to live how they would like. They shall get their judgment in the end. Not from us, but from the Lord.
The White House released its strategy on HIV/AIDS Tuesday morning, focusing on lowering infection rates by 25% in the next five years, according to officials.
The new strategy will direct more resources toward African-Americans and gay and bisexual men. The policy will also focus on Latinos and substance abusers. The 60-page report notes the number of new infections in the United States has been static, but the number of people living with HIV is growing.
"We must reorient our efforts by giving much more attention and resources" to those four groups, who are the "populations at highest risk," the report reads.
At a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Domestic Policy Council director Melody Barnes and Health and Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius spoke about the new policy. The two rattled off numerous statistics, one of the most disturbing from Sebilius: that nearly half of gay, African-American men are HIV positive.
President Obama will speak more on the new policy at a press conference Tuesday afternoon. Check back to Advocate.com for coverage.
Do you think maybe heterosexuals could have been married to someone that was leading a double life??? Wake up and smell the coffee.. I have friends that had no idea their husbands were getting it on with another man. They are divorced now , but get themselves checked yearly hoping they don't end up with aids. By the way, 2 of the ex husbands have aids now. Read about the Roman Empire and what made them fall. If this country doesn't shape up and return back to God it will happen to us. I agree with what Paladino said. At least , he is honest and not straddling the fence for votes. I don't think it will hurt him. I think alot of the silent majority will be going to the polls cleaning house this November.
You are right anon. Every empire that has fallen in the Western World had it's roots in men prancing around like women and woman who think they can grow beards and testicles. From Babylon, Ancient India, Greece, Rome, United States and so on....I just don't understand how it's perfectly right to correct a child who steals and lies but it's okay for a child to walk around thinking he/she is of the opposite sex. They even have a name for these mentally unstable human beings and it's "SHER". Unreal!!
Look Sweetheart...You graduated from The University of Georgia in 1969. I graduated from High School in 1969. We have too much in common to separate in such haste. Plus we both have a wonderful sense of humor. We are already selling books. Why leave me before we even meet in person?
Not Shelia Tolley, where are you? I miss you. You are my secret...now talk to me. We need some funny interaction for the blogs. They depend on us. Don't go back to the Anonymous hiding game. I love you.

If you are a true christian and believe in the bible then you know that homosexuality is not acceptable. The Bible plainly states that it is a sin for a man to lie down with a man. To me that means that it is against nature. Two people of the same sex cannot have children and that is why God made a man and a woman.
Ho heck.....It looks like EVERYBODY is going to hell.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." (NIV).
I have my occasional Miller Lite so I guess I will not inherit the Kingdom of God. I do not believe I am capable of running it as effective as God does anyway. So I will be satisfied with just moving in and living in his Kingdom forever. I feel better with God being in charge. So I hope nobody inherits it.
Oppressive treatment of others and a haughty attitude are considered as "abomination" in Proverbs 3: 31 - 32, and a "froward heart" is again mentioned in Proverbs 11:20. I wonder if some of the attitudes of conservative Christians towards gay people might not fall into these categories of "abominations."
According to the bible most of us are abominations in the eyes of God..My sin is no more evil than yours.
What is normal is how you came into this world and for someone to believe the condition which they were blessed when arrived here on this earth should be the standard for all to follow is the true mark of a bigot.
Amen! Its about time someone stood up for what is right! If that is his belief then he has a right not to partcipate in gay activities or make their case for them. This will prob hurt his campaign because we as Americans are scared of hurting someones feelings if we dont believe the way that they do.
Being a Christian is not about woulds, coulds or shoulds. It’s about knowing the heart of Christ. Obviously, there are many voicing an opinion on this subject who has yet to know it. Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.
I applaud Mr Paladino for standing up and speaking the truth against the politically correct wave of today. God did not create Adam and Steve or Anna and Eve. God's judgement has come against every nation that has degenerated into this abomination. I vote against every politician who supports the so called gay rights. Repent America, before it's too late!
The fact of the matter is that we should not judge others because they are different. You may not like the fact that a person is gay, but they should also not be discriminated or bashed for it. I think we should be a little more accepting of people's differences. Just because someone is different from you doesn't automatically mean they're wrong. The world will be a lot better off once we realize that.
Oh NO! THE LIST..........HELP ME, PLEASE. I ONLY MOLESTED INNOCENT CHILDREN, AND I MUST GO ON THE LIST. ISN'T THAT CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT?
Indeed, it is. Milam will allow you to PLEAD to unintentional foreplay. He pleases by pleaing to plead.
He is DA, hear him plead
For a trial, there is no need
For criminals he opens up the door.
You remove that old hand cuff
On his scum don't be so tuff
They will be back to plead forevermore.
Shelia you're really stretching when comparing homosexuals to child molesters. Maybe it's time to step away from the PC and join the real world here...
Sarcasm Lizzy....settle down. No one can help anything anymore. When a murder is committed what do you hear? The same BS that Cheryl and Jerry Hammond had to hear when their daughter was brutally murdered. He could not help it because he had a pitiful childhood. Child Molesters.....he/she could not help it because they too were molested as children. He/ She was born Gay. Maybe your God would create an individual that had no chance to abide by the Bible...but mine would not. God did not say one should not be crippled...yeah I said a dirty word...didn't I. I am supposed to say Physically Challenged. I am sick of all the damn excuses and unnecessary regulations in this world that God made. I do not care if men have intercourse with chickens and their
children have feathered legs. The feathered legged boys and girls will be harassed until enough men sleep with chickens, that it becomes so common that they create a "Peck but Don't Tell" Law. God help this disgusting queer filled, dope dealing, murdering, child molesting, crooked, thieving, spineless, terrorist filled, America......that at one time was....America The Beautiful.....come on back Jesus....for we do not care what we do. Our murderers are Commandment Challenged. Our thieves need money for drugs..they are merely indigent, not crooks. Help us Lord!
If you voice your opinion and it differs from the liberal view of today then you are a bigot. Many very good Americans have given their lives in order for us to be able to have an opinion. I do not condone nor do I approve of the homosexual life style. When people try and convince the populace that they were “born” gay is only trying to validate their bad choices in life by choosing to be a homosexual.
Yes I do agree with Mr. Paladino, more Americans should stand up and let it be known that they agree with him.
If you are not a bigot then you may have come by it honestly by being ignorant. Other than that, you may be just regurgitating something you heard some self righteous preacher broadcasted on a Sunday morning to just to pander to those with sexual insecurities.
It sounds like you’re a meat hugger. So from what you’re saying your anti religion and pro homosexual. No I don't have to regurgitate anything to know that I don't approve of those types of traits. As for my security, I'm very secure in the fact that I'm a proud heterosexual male person that proudly advocates for a heterosexual America. Get back in the closet meat huggers!!!
You’re calling me a bigot because my opinion differs from yours? You’re the real bigot and the worst kind. You try and call it freedom of choice as long as the choice is yours and everybody agrees with it.
You're a bigot because you don't know or fail to recognize the obvious that just because someone is different does not mean it is necessarily bad. From what a gay person has to go through because of folks like you it is no doubt not a choice but what one is born to be.
There you go with that B.S. that “they are born that way”. NO!!! It is a choice and a lifestyle to be homosexual. When stupid people make stupid choices they have to deal with the consequences...HIV, AIDS and being mentally unstable, as most homosexuals are. They must be look at the life style they have chosen.
The draft was eliminated in 1970 by President Richard Nixon. It was during the time when America had morals, so if a gay person was drafted you can bet it was a secret that only he knew. He would be sixty by now and probably still has told no one.
But in my opinion he was still a creation of environment or choice, not by God. He may have been born happy, but not gay.
What's the problem? Mr. Paladino did not participate in a gay pride parade because he thinks being homosexual is a sin. He has just as much right to speak out against it, as they have to march for it.
Although it will hurt his campaign because the liberal media tends to sensationalize stories when it suits their needs.
What give Christians the only rights to making the rules? I am a practicing Buddhist, so all your gesticulating and setting down rules and laws and morality have not one shred of application to my life, my spirituality and existence. It just does not apply. I understand in America with its freedom of these sorts of things I am allowed to live here happily---so I quite happily tell you: "Shut the Hell Up with all YOUR religious nonsense & mixing it with the affairs of government !"
Considering us Christians are what founded the principle of the United states of America, I would make an educated assumption that we have every right to impose our will as we see fit.
Obviously you are a traitor to the constitution of the United States. We do not live in a theocracy but a constitutional republic.
Even Jefferson knew this and in his personal life he had such major problems with the Christian Bible that he rewrote it. Google the “Jefferson Bible”. It is your type of self-righteous thinking that is a more of a danger to the American way of life than anything that could happen in the bedroom of two consenting adults.
Patrick, it is not about christian against non christian. It is about God's word and plan for an orderly and moral society. Plain and simple, God's word says it is an abominable sin. The Bible has it's beginning with the Jewish records which is referred to as the Old Testament. So both Jew and Christian agree on the subject. Read it for yourself. God will forgive anyone of any sin if they repent and turn to Jesus as their sacrifice and Savior.
You folks have seven elementary schools and four high schools in Georgia alone. So do not talk to us about religion, schools and government. Just relax and wait on your virgins. Enjoy your time while we have a muslim president.
My God is at every car wreck but also at every parade. He knows all. I do not question God, NEVER. I often question some of the humans who used 3000 years to get the Bible so that it passed King James' inspection. (Although he never proof-read it, at least that is the word on the street) Maybe a few of them found that water to wine trick and used it a little too often.
I think for myself. It gets me in trouble many times. People hate me who have never met me and people like me that have never met me. Richard Milam is actually the only man in Barnesville who, I know for a fact, admires and respects me.
Here is an example of things that make me wonder?
For example, here are some valid names from Biblical days. Jesus, Isaiah, Hosea, Amos, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Zephaniah, Habakkuk, Joel, Obadiah, Ezekiel, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, etc.
Now when you toss Adam and Eve into that list, it just don't fit. It is like the name obama mixed in with our real presidents. You have taken those little tests where you cross out the "whatever" that does not belong, haven't you?
Let me just get back to your original question. No I do not decide what is "JUST"......I know no one who does?
Let's ask Jimi the Police Dog? Oh, I'm sorry that would be INjustice. My bad.
That has been around since the sixties honey. Remember free love, make love not war, Haight Ashbury, Woodstock???? Better to have a love child than a dumpster baby or abortion, right?
I could not care less if they are gay. But I have more respect for a man that stands against it than all the "politically correct" jackasses that are afraid they will piss off someone carrying a rainbow. Weaklings are the reason that this stupid "Politically Correct" (an oxymoron) has been sustained. The question of a Mosque would have NEVER been thought of, much less suggested and approved at Ground Zero without our wimpy president and his blind followers. Let them get on their Muslim prayer mats. The big muslim in charge said it will be a place for all faiths to worship, so they should have no problem with the Tennessee Snake Handler Holy Rollers crawling in with them. Let's just eliminate all laws of the land. Do what you gotta do to defend yourself. Give your heart to God and live for him, you will still make it to Heaven. He told you there is a time to kill. Don't do it unless it becomes necessary. Think of all the tax money that will be saved. We will not call it street justice, we will call it "A Causeway for Fairness" that sounds soft enough to pass political Correctness, don't you think?
You know Shelia…..It must really scary being the one living inside your head. The way you come to a conclusion confuses the heck out of me and I’m a pretty smart dude. We can construct a moral reality all we want but if it conflict with the golden rule we are do nothing but moving away from the heart of Christ. I don’t care as much what the disciples said or what’s written in the Old Testament, what’s the game changer is what Christ proclaimed, because he was “the man”. This guy said it’s all about love and we heterosexuals have been doing a pretty rotten job of keeping our marriage vow. The problem with your thinking is you don’t know the difference between having sex and making love. If two adults have totally committed their lives to one other, their anatomy is of no relevance, and actually it’s none of our business. To say that they have is anything less than we who are married to someone of a different gender is to day we don’t know what love is ourselves.
He wasn’t being honest. He was reading from a prepared statement given to him from the religious group from where he was campaigning at that time. He was just saying what would get him votes or maybe pandering to the mindset of those he was giving a speech to. If he was being honest he won’t so easily of started back tracking or go immediately into damage control.

I am not sure I follow your reasoning. Are you saying that because there were slaves in the Bible and because the Founding Fathers allowed slavery that we should also own slaves? I am just trying to find an analogy to properly understand your way of thinking, and I wonder if this reasoning parallels yours. Please help me understand why I should accept the imposition of your will on the shape of our society.
Put all you gays together without contact with the outside world. You can have all the food, entertainment, money you want. In 80 years you will all be gone. Problem solved!
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh, [a]
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.
4 One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.
7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, "Seek his [b] face!"
Your face, LORD, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
O God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing out violence.
13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
God is an imaginary friend for grown-ups. Nothing wrong with it I guess. Some people simply cant deal with the fact that they will not always exsist. False hope but whatever floats your boat! Life is short. Live & love like you will die tomorrow....and try to keep your weaner out of your buddys arse.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son; that whosoever believeth in me shall not perish, but have everlasting life. God loved us that much.
