Averett Professor's so called "Book Club" review

Local Democrats held a "book club" meeting on Oct. 26 at the home of Averett's history Prof. Bill Trakas -- with the purpose of drawing attention to and attacking Rep. gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell's 89 college thesis. Trakas led the discussion focusing on how destructive McDonnell's conservative values would be if he were elected. He chose to focus on passages read out of context -(picking & choosing portions that supported his view).

Well, here are some excerpts the professor - doesn't want others to hear ...
From the Martinsville Bulletin, Aug. 31, 2009 ---

Titled “The Republican Party’s Vision for the Family: The Compelling Issue of the Decade,” he wrote with sometimes evangelistic fervor and of the primacy of a “God-ordained covenantal form” of family. The paper blamed federal law and tax policies and rulings by the U.S. Supreme Court since the 1960s for usurping parental authority and eroding the family structure.
In his conclusions, he states clearly a belief that “alternative lifestyles” don’t necessarily merit the same considerations as traditional families. On page 65 he wrote:“every level of government should statutorily and procedurally prefer married couples over cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators. The cost of sin should fall on the sinner, not the taxpayer.”
In the House, McDonnell was among the most outspoken opponents of abortion. He was a key mover behind bills to require the notification of the parents or guardians when a girl under 18 seeks an abortion in Virginia.
Families, he wrote, are divinely chartered.“The family is an institution that existed antecedent to civil government and hence is not subject to being defined by it,” McDonnell wrote." --(To see the rest of the article which fairly represents the content of McDonnell's thesis - go to the Martinsville Bulletin, Aug. 31, 2009)
If you disagree with the above, don't vote for McDonnell. But do not mis-represent his views and taint their intent and meaning as the so-called professor at Averett Univ. did at his so-called 'book club.'

Well, I see after the election, the people of southside Virginia, have spoken. So much for the Averett professor's book club.
