Nampa Library loses large donor over gay pornWednesday, June 28, 2006 “GOD AND COUNTRY RALLY” TONIGHT AT The annual “God and Country Rally” in The Idaho Values Alliance will have a booth there, and we invite you to come by and say “Hi!” According to a story in yesterday’s Idaho Press-Tribune, a prominent businessman has decided to withhold a large donation to the expansion of the Nampa Public Library because of the board’s insistence on keeping gay porn on the shelves and within reach of children. Larry Knapp pulled a planned $10,000 gift to the library, which is in cramped quarters and in the middle of making plans to enlarge its facility or move to But many of these men are also committed family men and men of faith, and know that the moral character of a city is more important in the long view than how many parks it has and how big its library is. They will not let the library board play them as suckers, taking large donations from them but ignoring their concerns about the impact of library material on vulnerable young children. Board chairman Sharon Brooks remains unapologetic and defiant, claiming “The Joy of Gay Sex” is nothing more than an educational tool despite the fact that it meets the legal definition of “material harmful to minors” in exact detail. (Ms. Brooks handed out a Q & A sheet at the June 19 board meeting with this question and answer: “Shouldn’t these materials be locked up to keep them away from children? NO.” “No” was both capitalized and put in bold text.) At some point, The Idaho Press-Tribune: Library loses large donor REPLACEMENT OF Current Thus a family-friendly board may have to be created one member at a time as current board members finish out their terms and are replaced by board members who more concerned about protecting the innocence of young children than advancing radical elements of the homosexual agenda. On another note, I have been informed that Bruce Skaug, the lone family-friendly member on the current library board, suffered a stroke that actually occurred during last week’s meeting. (The symptoms were controllable enough that he was able to finish the meeting before seeking medical attention.) He spent the rest of last week in the hospital, and now miraculously is up and walking well, and apparently free of any permanent damage. Please pray for his full recovery.

Congress authority to prohibit desecration of the flag fell one vote short yesterday in the Senate. Opponents declared this a victory for the free speech clause of the First Amendment, but it is nothing of the sort. The First Amendment protects freedom of political speech – but burning a flag is not speech, it is an act. An amendment to ban flag burning would in no way violate the free speech protections given to us by our Founding Fathers.
