I believe to post on Parker County Blog, a picture of President Obama, whitefaced as a witchdoctor, and racest signs liken to Adolph Hitler, is defaming and definitely liable unto slander of the President. Mis- numbering attendance of people to a protest march,should also be filed as such. I made a copy of such distorations,so you might add this complaint to your blog rules.
Thank you for your interest in Parkercountyblog.com. We consider all comments, positive and negative, and strive to improve the blog without limiting each individual’s right to freely express his or her opinion. The photos to which you refer first appeared in most of the major newspapers as part of an effort to “report” the news of the day as demonstrations occurred across the country. While others may or may not agree with your assessment of the issues, they too have a Constitutional right to express their opinion, and Parkercountyblog will fiercely defend that right.
I writing about ENDA. I received an email this morning about losing some of the freedoms we have in religion and speech if ENDA was implemented into law.
To keep Christians from being fired for their faith …
To keep Christian businesses from being forced to hire cross-dressers …
To keep a Christian from being terminated for “anti-gay harassment” simply because he kept a Bible on his desk …
To keep Christian schools from being forced to employ homosexual teachers …
To keep our children free to proclaim the values we’ve taught them …
Would you please let me know what Phil King can do and what I can do to keep ENDA from becoming a law? My greatest concern is the schools being forced to hire Homesexual teachers and those teachers sharing their life style with our children.
