Adam Lambert Concert draws Anti-Gay Group Protest

By Jim Ziebarth

This past week in San Jose, California, at an American Idol concert, "Hate" was the vibe outside. A group of protesters from a Topeka, Kansas, church, named Westboro Baptist, were directing their hateful chants towards homosexuality. Their website, God Hates Fags.com explains their view points and beliefs......

Since 1955, Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) has taken forth the precious from the vile, and is therefore as the mouth of God (Jer. 15:19). In 1991, WBC took her ministry to the streets, conducting 41,002 peaceful demonstrations (to date) opposing the fag lifestyle of soul-damning, nation-destroying filth. In response, America bombed WBC & WBC on 8-2-2008. God is America's enemy: 5,058 dead soldiers; crashing economy. America crossed the line on June 26, 2003, when the Supreme Court (the conscience of the nation) ruled in Lawrence v. Texas that we must respect sodomy. WBC believes her gospel message to be this world's last hope. read more about WBC

Michael Sarver was also present at the American Idol concert. Lambert And Sarver's friendship was a direct effect of American Idol, and according to StarPulse.com, Sarver wrote on his Twitter.com page, "Funny how people think it's a good idea to mess with a big Texan and his AI (American Idol) family. Adam is just fine, shakes it off and so should we. We are together in this thing. You mess with one you mess with all ten. We are strong and we are 1. For those outside protesting I say do not judge less ye be judged yourself. Guys don't mind these people, we are a strong family."

Disappointment is what I feel towards the Westboro Baptist Church. Their website is dedicated to nothing more then hate. Isn't the purpose of a church to spread love and understanding, and proclaim Jesus, and love their fellow man? This is not what their web site promotes. They travel all over the United States proclaiming "HATE" in Gods name. I don't know about their "god", but my God does not hate and would never tell his "children" to go out and preach for the devil

Now while this is only one of a few hate derived "so called" churches, it still reminds me that their are some ignorant, uneducated, bigots out there, who have nothing better to do then to humiliate and belittle other people for the choices and lifestyles they live. The thought of people who are crusading for religious reasons, when in fact are doing nothing more then breeding hate, is disturbing. The fact that hate could consume a person let alone a group is nothing new in America, or the rest of the world.

In the end, we do live in the United States of America, and as Americans we have certain rights. One of which is to express our opinions, even when ours might not match what other people believe or feel. Freedom, that is what we are all entitled to, so disagreeing with a cause like this is not going to make it vanish. The "hate" oriented cause will still continue to exist. We do however have the option to let it be known that we disagree, and inform others that hate never wins. And it is not acceptable. Take a stand and refuse to let hate win, refuse to let hate consume your life. After all, this is America. We have the right to be free. Free from Hate. - 18780

There's Nothing Michael Jackson Couldn't Buy

By James Ziebarth

Thanks to FoxNews.com we have discovered that the former Michael Jackson was lavishly spending almost $2.5 million a month on the Neverland Ranch and the maintenance of the property and it's entertaining sights. $2.5 million a month for a huge house, some mid-way rides, and some exotic animals? I clearly understand Jacko's way of thinking.....NOT!!!!!

Michael Jackson was deeply in debt. According to the excerpt from FoxNews.com...."Michael Jackson left behind $400 million worth of debt". Michael Jackson had produced "Thriller", the best-selling album of all time. He had multiple number 1 singles. How on earth did Michael Jackson manage to rack up so many unpaid bills.

Aside from losing tens of millions of dollars during his child molestation trial, Jackson didn't put out any significant new material since 1997. But more detrimental to his finances was his notorious big-spending. Last week we revealed his automobile fixation (he had 75 cars registered under his name) and according to financial statements at the time of his divorce to Debbie Rowe in 1999, his cost of living at the time averaged a whooping $2,339,300 per month.

It has been reported that Michael Jackson's household expenses totaled over $300,000. Documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court detailed spending of $95,700 on gardening, security costs of $51,900, zoo/amusement park upkeep of $66,200, and housekeeping/PR expenses of $60,200. That is just Michael Jackson's housekeeping expenses.

Michael Jackson did not skimp on personal expenses either. FoxNews.com reported Michael as spending $178,100 on legal services, $120,000 on personal/property insurance, $25,600 on medical needs, and $42,600 on gifts, but only $100 a month on entertainment. I guess you could count the expenses for Neverland Ranch as entertainment. Overall, his personal expenses were estimated at $1, 420,600 monthly.

Overall, it would cost $2,339,300 to live the life of Michael Jackson for just one month. And that would likely put anyone in debt."

Now I don't have a degree in Accounting (yet), but I can do the math. That's almost $30 million a year that was being spent on the Neverland Ranch alone. This is not including all the plastic surgery, pain pills, underage birthday parties, and court cost to fight "molestation" charges. And people are actually wondering why MJ was almost broke? Do the math people. When your bills are more then your gross income, you go into debt. Now I'm no Suze Orman but i think I'm on the right track.

Good luck in Heaven Michael Jackson, do us a favor and stay away from the "Underage Angels. - 18780

Writing Your First Song

By Donald Claus

The song is the special expression of music that humans can understand with different words expressing a sense. A song can represent several kinds of emotions and different intentions and even messages.

Songwriting is the art of creating songs using inspiring themes or things of the common life that can give you an idea to express this in few words. If you have a band or you want compose songs, let me tell you that there are several ways to have a creative songwriting process.

In my personal experience, songwriting is like a part of my own life that motivates me to express thinking and many experiences that are occurring in my life.

One of the most important tools I use for a wonderful and creative songwriting experience is the use of a portable voice recorder. A portable voice recorder is used for my in many situations, but when I have a musical idea immediately I turn on my voice recorder and I start singing the idea I have. It doesn't matter at this point if I have made mistakes or sang wrong notes or something like that, the most important thing for me in this moment is that I can catch all the ideas that I am receiving in this moment.

Then, the next step is start hearing the words and musical expression I have recorded in my portable voice recorder and I start cleaning the words I have recorded. The idea is that I can have a good song from this. I use my computer and I start editing all the content I have recorded until I can have a better song with all the commercial elements required for the good songwriting experience.

In other words, songwriting is an art that you have to work. You should make some efforts so that your songwriting process can be perfect. - 18780
