Ready to Sacrifice Those Lady Parts?

The pink in my hair tips my hat to a friend who does not wish to be named. A breast cancer survivor, it’s in her rearview mirror. But the disease is before us as is the Leviathan waiting to swallow groundbreaking treatments, cures and restoration.

Her amazing smile can light up Manhattan, always has and thanks for science, love and G-D, she will sparkle for many, many years.  For her trials, she loves her newly acquired 20-year-old “perkies”. Breasts are replaceable. Women are not.

The president who claims to be guardian of your ladyparts has placed your breasts on the chopping block of Obamacare. If Obama is re-elected, a diagnosis via mammogram is a crapshoot. The 15 unelected IPAB panel will start mammograms later, and dole them out less frequently. The wait time for both mammograms and start of treatment will be significantly delayed. And insurance paid reconstruction will be a thing of the past. Without reconstructive surgery, Happy wife, happy life can take an ominous turn. Cancer might occupy one patient in a home, but lays claim to several victims with each case. A bleak outlook indeed for what was once vaunted as one of the most curable cancers.

According to board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Martin Fox (who did not treat my friend), reconstructive surgery is a boon. “The cancer diagnosis and treatment are devastating to most women. The disfigurement and fear of loss of sexual attractiveness to their husbands are an avoidable misery. Taking that out of the equation, women do much better,” he said.

 Thanks to the Dr. Foxes of he world, modern science, research and a free market, the destructive removed and replace in toto. They did their job, now she finishes hers. When patient and doctor join hands and tell disease, ‘not yet’, there’s no room for fifteen unelected non-medical bureaucrats in this ballet.

Cancer should not be politicized; women like my friend deserve to be held far from the fray and the pots I stir.  But I will not stand by and allow such light to be snuffed out. Celebrate and pay tribute in October, but remember in November. Peddling free birth control is not woman friendly. Staying away from women, our ladyparts and our doctors IS woman friendly.

Vote for women, Vote for my friend, her millions of sisters, those with us and those not.  Vote for yourselves and the children and men that love you.

Fluke YOU

Loaded with rhetoric and absent of fact the trickle down war on women narrative pushed by the Democrats is dripping on AZ Republican candidate Jeff Flake.

Rife with accusations of denying women access to physician ordered mammograms and redefining rape to defunding planned parenthood. To the first two, I say show me your proof. To the third, I say hallelujah.  Let’s parse.

Redefine rape? A complete lie. The bill he signed May 2011 did not contain the words forcible rape (I wish they had, but that is neither here nor there) and he told Tucson Weekly August 23, 2012 that he makes no distinctions between the myriad forms of rape (probably invented years ago by democrats) “Forcible rape seems redundant to me” he said.  And one would expect as a husband and father, horrifying too. Let’s not forget the drubbing he weathered to stand with his daughter when she competed in the final portion of a scholarship wining pageant causing him to miss a congressional vote.

  Jeff Flake does not want or need to deny mammograms to anyone. President Obama will do that just fine if re-elected. Obamacare already wants to stop mammograms to women under 45 and then decrease the frequency.  The few mothers lost to breast cancer easily mitigate the cost of the mammograms, a thought process abhorrent to Flake, the GOP and all decent people. Flake stays out of medical decisions unless it’s his own or that of his family.

Jeff Flake is in favor of cutting off FEDERAL funding to Planned Parenthood, an organization whose original mission is clouded by its founder’s belief in Eugenics. Boasting an annual billion-dollar haul, Planned Parenthood is ‘doin just fine’ and should rely upon their ongoing and extensive fundraising efforts. They were quite effective in bullying Susan G. Koman last year.

Throughout this campaign cycle, the democrats have objectified women and used them as tools. Branding 30 year old perpetual students as poster children deserving free birth control and urging women to vote with ‘their lady parts’ demeans women and takes away their power.  Jeff Flake’s polices empower women to hold dominion over themselves.

His experience with the several women in power positions in his campaign and his dynamo wife should give him a fair indication the fairer sex is quite capable of obtaining her own contraception if she chooses. Help has always been available for those in need through title X and Access.

Since Sandra ‘Fluked” herself before congress, she has been the darling of the liberal media beating the false narrative that it is conservatives and not liberals who wish to insert the federal government into women’s reproductive rights. Tell me again who is pushing the free birth control? Get the Fluke away from my uterus Sandra; I’m sticking with Flake.

Wisdom Puts Knowledge into Thoughtful and Reasoned Action

There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom. It seems that the liberal world touts and lauds knowledge as represented by formal degrees, attendance at “superior” institutions of learning (i.e., Ivy League schools, etc) and degrees. These things, while sometimes laudable, hardly represent what is needed in our nation and especially in our political leadership.

What is needed is wisdom, that elusive thing that allows a person to put knowledge into thoughtful and reasoned action. Wisdom is really a rare thing and is acquired only through life experiences and the crucible of trial and error. It is only in these things that wisdom is learned. Someone who has existed in the hothouse of academia, sequestered from reality of day-to-day life of a society and people, cannot acquire real wisdom. Only through the doing, not the theory or imagining, can real world wisdom be gained.

Thus the respect in most societies for the elders, those that have “been there, done that”, that have survived their mistakes, screw-ups and failed theories. Only the dreamers, those that live theories, manifestos and ivory tower ideations, are looked up to by a society that respects only youth and the false narrative that such see the world clearly.

We older folks often see “through a glass darkly”, usually because all that we see in our youth driven and oriented society is the rejection of wisdom for knowledge. All the advanced degrees in the world will not give you the ability to actually apply that knowledge in a useful way. 

Wisdom trumps all the “book learning” in the world. Having an MBA without any actual experience is useless and dangerous in that to idolize the degrees and “accomplishments” in academia while ignoring wisdom will cause failure after failure with disastrous results.

Wisdom, acquired over time through experience and trial and error, is the only choice for our nation, so choose wisdom on November 6.

Under the Fedora: Courage and crafts

A special contribution from Peter DaTechGuy Ingemi


The fallout from Mitt Romney’s performance in Wednesday’s presidential debate continues to grow as even the farthest left of our populace are unable to deny the president horrible performance, but have come up with creative excuses for it to the point where those excuses have become a source of comedy.
But few people have talked about why Romney did so well.  There is a post at Hennessy’s view that details five categories where Romney excelled:

Command of the Facts

Affable Demeanor

Eye Contact

Consistency

Presidential

It made a lot of trouble for lefties particularly the Saturday Night Live gang.  If you don’t believe that Saturday Night Live has been in the tank take a look at this quote from the New York Times:

“It’s boring enough when they’re talking about all this and how it will affect Americans, but when you’re sitting there trying to pull comedy out of it, it’s really bad,” Mr. Meyers said. “There were people on Twitter saying: ‘You must be really happy, there’s so much in this debate. This is writing itself.’ I was like: what debate are you watching?”

Seriously, guys who actually write comedy for a living didn’t have material to use?  It was hard to write?
And note what clip was actually written.  You have Mitt Romney telling saying “I killed Osama Bin Laden” and Obama distracted by anniversary gifts.  The premise being: “Romney is a blatant liar and Obama didn’t call him out.”
There are funny conservatives out there, but until & unless they hit it big, they are as closeted as a Jew in 1943 Berlin.  (Or maybe not, is it just me or do I see celeb after celeb coming out for Romney lately?)
Even more interesting is the premise of the entire NYT article.  Of COURSE it would be hard to come up with such a sketch.

Strangely enough the New Yorker was able to do it in a single image


Of course Clint Eastwood beat them all to it.
You know when I saw that image I presumed it was a parody.  I just couldn’t believe the New Yorker had the guts to do it.

The cover worked btw because while everyone knew it was true many of the elites would not dare say it in public out of fear.

Speaking of telling the truth without fear we have heard over and over about the courage of people like Madonna unafraid to shock the establishment and establishment religion.  Apparently there are limits to such courage

The 54-year-old singer was planning to don a 'Terror Bride' outfit - a combination of a traditional Iraqi bridal veil and a US soldier's uniform - in the video for upcoming single 'Superstar' as a statement against oppression against women and war, but her advisers convinced her to ditch the political stunt because of the outrage it would be likely to cause.
A source said: ''Madonna had the outfit ready to go. She was really proud of it and said it was her 'Terror Bride' costume.
''She had paraded around in it and said she was going to wear it in her next music video.
''At first when people started telling her it was madness she just brushed it off.
''But when they mentioned that her actions could put her life at risk she decided to ditch it from her video and certainly won't be wearing it on stage.''

Imagine the outrage if fear of Christian retaliation had kept her from making the video “Like a Prayer.  The media would be non stop in it’s condemnation.
Then again maybe not, if Christians were the type of people who would murder a singer based on a costume then the media would be the same silent coward they are toward violent Islamists.  Robert Spencer is a man of courage, Madonna is not a woman of courage, you want see a woman of courage, meet Pam Geller…
Or Brigitte Gabriel
for my money they are not only braver than Madonna, but are all sexier too, well except for Robert....

That call in the Braves Cardinals game on the infield fly was one of the worst calls I’ve seen in a playoff game since 1985 when a blown call at first cost St. Louis the series.  I guess the laws of probability took nearly three decades to even things out for the Cards.
They’re still going to have a tough time vs Washington.
---------------------------------------------------
There are under 30 days to the election and with Scott Brown running in Massachusetts and New Hampshire as a swing state you can’t turn on any media in my house without running into a political ad…except on my show or blog.
Maybe it’s sour grapes on my part because I’m living hand to mouth in the Obama Years but you would think with a blog ranked as of this writing #192441 worldwide and #31848 nationally and with a Radio show 98 weeks old on a 50,000 watt Radio station broadcasting from the second largest city in New England might be of interest as an advertising platform to SOMEONE.
I guess the bottom line is the ad guys on the left figure not enough of their folks are reading me and the ad guys on the right figure why buy the cow when you are getting the milk for free.
It’s kind of disheartening when you are trying to make it as a business.
Speaking of Scott Brown one of the things I’ve argued to people on the right who are upset with him as the candidate is the idea he the choice is not between Scott Brown & Ronald Regan or Scott Brown vs Sarah Palin but Scott Brown vs Elizabeth Warren.
Many of my friends on the right think it’s our job to nominate the most conservative candidate we can.  I’d like that too but before we can even think of doing that we have a more important task.  We need to change the minds of our fellow citizens so they will VOTE for a more conservative candidate.
 We need to make the case for fiscal conservatism and we need to make the case for social conservatism we need to explain in language they can understand using examples they can relate to why social conservatism is better for the cities, better for the state, better for the country, better for society and better for THEM.
That should be job 1 for the GOP in a state like Massachusetts and if we don’t make that case Republicans will be holding their noses come election day in this state forever.

Yeah it’s not sexy, but it’s how you win in the long run.

----------------------------------------------------
Saw Taken 2 this weekend with the wife and my youngest.  It was pretty good, I particularly liked the character of the daughter showing the effects of her traumatic experience from the first movie.  I also liked the quick cuts, it makes it easier to simulate fast action, (my wife disagreed here).
The picture still reminds me of Big Jake, when I see Neeson speak I still hear John Wayne in Big Jake saying:
My job is to bring the boy home alive or  see you dead, every man jack of you, now I’d rather bring the boy home alive, it’s easier but either way I’ll earn my money.
Oddly Neeson expected this movie to be a straight to DVD picture never expecting it to be a hit nor for him to become an “action hero”
I suspect the movie will do very well at the box office,  it’s a perfect date move, the guy likes the action and DaWife thinks Liam Neeson is hot.  Maybe I should ask her opinion on Robert Spencer, but she doesn’t like beards.

The makes say on IMDB there will be no 3^rd movie, I wonder if the box office might change their minds?
-------------------------------------------

I did my show live from the American Products store in Cherry Valley last Saturday,  a dealer set up there had what I thought was the absolutely coolest Halloween item ever

Here is a closer look at her stuff.
http://youtu.be/9i1yQ6FSNq0 Isn’t that just America though  a woman at home raising her kids comes up with some ideas and it becomes a business.  I’ll be she could sell 50,000 of those candy corn Halloween Candy Bags every year if people knew about them.  (you can order them here)
I think that’s magnificent
Speaking of magnificent, if it’s under 10 days to my 100^th show brunch and live broadcast at Lago’s restaurant.  If you are in driving distance from Worcester click here to reserve a spot free.  If you want evidence that you should come here is exhibit A

Even if you are on the left and disagree with me, this place’s food is worth the trip, particularly if it’s on me.
See you next week

Spiritual Campaign for the Canadian Supreme Court

St Michael the Archangel, lead us into battle. Arm us with the Sword of Truth. With Your Shield from God, protect us with vigilance from deception. By the power of God, help us to reject evil, and imprint upon us a Warrior's heart for Christ. Amen

Hail Mary, Mother of God, Patroness of the Americas, we beseech you to come to our aid. Holy Mother, you always point us toward Christ. After you revealed yourself in Guadalupe, many hearts were changed to end human sacrifices. We ask for hearts to be changed, ending the sacrifice of the Unborn. Show the Leaders of the Americas, the Fruit of Your Womb, who created us all in His Image, from conception until natural death. Amen

St Joseph, foster-father of Christ on Earth, come to our aid. Show Men how to be the spiritual leaders of their families as the Heavenly Father intended. By the power of God, reveal to us-courage; and teach us how to be pure in mind, body, and spirit. Amen

On Wednesday in Ottawa, the Canadian Supreme Court will issue a decision regarding a challenge to the law in Canada that currently makes it illegal to conceal the death of an infant both after birth and before birth. In doing so, it is hoped that Canada will legally define life as beginning at conception. The article regarding this can be read HERE.

In support of the hoped for outcome, please join with us as we pray the Rosary at 9:00 AM EDT on Wednesday October 10, 2012.

We ask all those who join with us to pray this prayer daily until then:

My soul magnifies the Lord,
My spirit rejoices in God my Savior!
He looked upon his lowly
servant henceforth all ages
call me blessed.
The powerful did great things for me;
Holy is his name!
His mercy is from age to age,
on those who fear him.
He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud.
He casts the mighty from their
throne, he lifted up the lowly.
He fills the hungry with good things,
sends the rich away empty.
He helped his servant Israel,
he remembers his love.
The promise made ​​to our fathers,
to Abraham and his descendants forever.

En Français:

Mon âme exalte le seigneur,
Exulte mon esprit en Dieu mon Sauveur !
Il s'est penché sur son humble
servante ; désormais tous les âges
me diront bienheureuse.
Le puissant fit pour moi des merveilles ;
Saint est son nom !
Son amour s'étend d'âge en âge,
sur ceux qui le craignent.
Déployant la force de son bras,
il disperse les superbes.
Il renverse les puissants de leur
trône, il élève les humbles.
Il comble de biens les affamés,
renvoie les riches les mains vides.
Il relève Israël son serviteur,
il se souvient de son amour.
De la promesse faite à nos pères,
en faveur d'Abraham et de sa race à jamais.

Ainsi soit-il ou Amen.

We also ask those whom are able to do so to fast from 10:00AM on Tuesday the 9th until the Canadian Supreme Court issues their decision on the 10th.

Pray to the Blessed Mother that she intercede on our behalf with her Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. May God's will be done!

UNDER THE FEDORA: Debates, debates and oh debates.

 A special contribution by Peter ''DaTechGuy'' Ingemi


I’d like to say I delayed Under the Fedora so I could comment on the Presidential debate, but that would be a lie, I’m a tad sick and when I’m sick I’m totally Rubbish as the British would say so I’m a bit behind.   2 min before the debate I’m wondering which candidate will congratulate Miguel Cabrera on his triple crown. I really didn’t think I’d see another one in my lifetime. One of the worst things about this political season is I’ve had no time to follow the most amazing baseball season in years, Not only the triple crown consider:

• The Oakland A’s have made one of the most fantastic comebacks in history made even more incredible by their tiny payroll.
• We have seen the AL playoff spots not decided until the final day of the season
• We have seen the Washington Nationals finish with the best record in baseball

And instead I’m chasing candidates On the bright side I missed a lot of what was a disastrous season for the Red Sox. --------------------------------- Didn’t realize his was President Obama’s Anniversary spending it with Mitt Romney was not much fun. He should have listened to Michelle and just taken in a show or something.   Mitt Romney mentioned his 5 point plan, I’ve heard him speak of it on the trail as has Stacy McCain

Police Extortion Analysed

In a recent report about Detroit teens taking over a gas station there, I read that the police have been repeatedly called to the station to disperse the teens only to have the teens return to the station upon their departure.

The chilling line in the report was the last one:

Detroit police tell FOX 2 they'll continue to respond to calls from the station. The owner says he may hire an off-duty officer to help keep his business secure during peak hours. (Emphasis mine)

The stench of rampant extortion and corruption reeks! Should this owner be forced to hire an off-duty officer to keep these teens off of his property? NO! The officers should be performing their job and filing a no trespass order on each teen and then arresting them when they violate the order.

If it takes the precinct stationing a patrol car there during peak hours, that IS the job of the Detroit police department, the reason this business owner charges a City of Detroit sales tax as well as pays a City of Detroit income tax on both his business' income and the income he derives from that business.

It wasn't always that way. I grew up in Detroit in the late 50's and 60's, times of turmoil and the expansion of the Detroit Police Department. When I was small, the police had to reside within the city limits and they were prohibited from moonlighting period. Gradually, the police union won concessions that allowed the officers to live where they want, in or out of the city. Then to be able to moonlight as long as the jobs were not connected to security in any way. Then to moonlight without restriction.

Gradual steps that engender less security for the taxpayers of Detroit and fatter wallets for the police officers themselves. I'm quite sure that anyone can dig and find allegations of pay-offs, kick-backs and other forms of corruption in the Detroit Police Department connected with off-duty activities. I knew back in the early 70's several young officers that paid off their precinct sergeants for prime positions on the list of available off-duty officers that was provided to businesses that needed security.

This also points out the canard foisted on the voters, that more funding was needed to pay the police, that since they were on duty 24/7, they needed to be compensated at a higher pay scale. It is suspicious to me when any "public servant" is paid more than the taxpayer who, at the same position in their career, pays the officers salary. The "they put their life on the line" gambit also doesn't hold water. It it did, our military would be paid on a scale with the police. 

Look at the pay of an E-3 and compare it with the starting salary of a rookie police officer. According to eHow.com: " According to a customized salary report obtained through the BLS website, the average annual salary of patrol officers in Detroit was $50,460."

The base pay of a soldier/airman/Marine serving in Afghanistan who is an E-3 in rank (much more experienced than a rookie police officer) is $23,788.80, less than half that of the average patrol officer in Detroit. (Pay data derived from tables on the DFAS website and include the maximum $225 per month combat pay but not housing allowances [BHA] that are based on the local cost of housing that could increase the salary by another $12,000) Even with every possible adjustment, allowance and assistance the servicemember could receive, the Detroit police officer, who goes home to a safe, clean home in the suburbs at the end of each shift, is paid much more.

The progressive mantra of the police need more pay because they "protect" us is utter crap. The police do not protect. They do not prevent crime or stop crimes from being committed. They take reports after the fact and a specialized unit (the Detectives) follow-up and investigate. The other major activity of a police officer is to issue traffic/parking tickets that bring revenue into the city coffers. True, this is a dangerous occupation and police officers ARE killed in the line of duty but so are the servicemembers who are paid much, much less.

Consider as well the average salary of the taxpayer in Detroit: "According to government data, the average salary for jobs in Detroit, Michigan is $31,427, and the median income of households in Detroit was $28,069."

The police officers of Detroit have a great thing going. A political machine (in the guise of a public sector union) that ever increases their salaries while extorting more from the average taxpayers that they supposedly "protect and serve" when it really is that they are protecting their jobs and serving their bank accounts, not the citizens of Detroit.

This is what happens in most major cities and many other urban/suburban areas, not isolated to Detroit.

We need to recognize our needs and address those needs appropriately, without hyperbole or inflated rhetoric. The ability of our police departments to extort average citizens just because they can must end. 

All corruption must be rooted out and the realization that the old policies existed for a reason must be embraced!

What Will the Chosen People Choose?

Hat Tip to @DrMartyFox

Hat Tip to @DrMartyFox

The 2^nd amendment exists to protect us from tyranny; an armed populace is tough to take over.  One need look no further back than Nazi Germany for proof. And one may look to the same era to see a safe and secure Israel is critical for the continued safety of Jews everywhere, even in America.

Israel is like the 2^nd amendment to us. We don’t have to whip it out, but it’s good to know it’s there.

For reasons that boggle my mind, the bulk of American Jews are clinging to liberally social values and sticking to Obama. They are defending a woman’s right to choose over their own right to exist.  Topic for another time, defending a woman’s right to choose has de-evolved to defending the wanton, capricious destruction of millions and millions of babies. Sound familiar? If not, scroll back to the first paragraph. There is nothing Jewish about supporting abortion. Rape is why we changed Jewish law in order for the mother to determine that a child born of a Jewish mother is Jewish. If we wanted to invent abortion back then, we would have. We invented everything else didn’t we?

I digress. Israel is usually on the brink, and for the first time America does not have it’s back. Even more shocking, American Jews appear ready to rubberstamp this into continuation.  Prime Minister Netanyahu, I think will wait as long as he can, in the hopes we in the U.S. will awaken from our stupor, spit the free birth control from our mouths and run the usurper off.

But know this, PM Netanyahu will not allow the destruction of Israel, even if the liberal Jews of America will. And here’s another fact to consider. If Israel attacks Iran prior to November 6^th and Obama does the right thing and supports this action, he will win in a landslide. And on November 7^th, Obama will withdraw the support.

Omar Kadhr, CONVICTED TERRORIST, back in Canada

Omar Kadhr, The terrorist convicted of throwing a grenade that killed American soldier Christopher Speer, was flown from Guantanamo Bay to purge his 8 year ''sentence'' in Milhaven maximum security pen in Bath, Ontario.

Despite the fact that most Canadians were AGAINST it

The fact that he is ''Canadian'' should not have played a role in this. You travel to a foreign country to aid and plan attacks on American and Canadian soldiers, kill an American soldier, are convicted, and then whine about your conditions of detention??? Anyone ever heard the saying ''If ya can't do the time, don't do the crime'' ??

This asshole is the POSTER BOY for political lobbies gone wrong. Pressure groups, MUSLIM pressure groups have been annoying everybody and their mothers about Kadhr.

I don't care that he was born here. When you commit crimes in the name of Mohammad the pedophile pig, then in my book you ain't Canadian. When you commit crimes in another country, you WAIVE your citizenship. Hell, Vito Rizzuto, the alleged mafia Godfather from Montreal was convicted in NEW-YORK and did his time in Colorado.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not minimizing the impact on society the Mafia has, but generally speaking, they only rub out their own. Kadhr on the other hand TRAVELLED to Afghanistan to kill SOLDIERS who were only there to hunt down a WANTED CRIMINAL named Osama Bin Laden. It's the equivalent of killing a cop in the line of duty. No more, no less, and he should be doing LIFE.

Now watch him sue the Canadian government for leaving him there too long......

An Open Letter to American followers of Islam & Mona Eltahawi

Originally posted on DaTechGuy blog

Good Afternoon:
As you may or depending on the state of the public schools where you live, may not know the first Europeans to permanently settle in what is now called the United States were people fleeing religious persecution, people who’s ways of worshiping God were different than those around them and suffered for it.
When they came to America the various churches massed in various colonies and based upon their own level of tolerance for other religions enacting laws restricting the practice of other religions until finally with the adoption of the Bill of Rights in the New constitution in 1787 the principle of freedom of religion was firmly established as a national policy.
We’ve had a few bumps as Catholics in Pennsylvania and Joseph Smith could tell you but by and large we’ve done an excellent job allowing people of any and all religions to practice as they please.
Islam has been around for quite a while, as a Roman Catholic I see several things good about it, particularly it’s devotion to regular prayer which is the basis of any devotion to God.
As an American I freely welcome you to practice Islam in America. Worship God as you see fit.
As an American I freely welcome you to make public your practice, hold festivals, have parades, share cultural events, let your culture be part of ours as so many other cultures have before you.
As an American I freely welcome you to use all the freedoms promised to protect religious belief under the laws of the United States and of the individual states to make sure your right to worship is respected.
As an American I freely welcome you to make your best case for Islam, explain your religion, proselytize, I invite you to make the finest argument you can that Islam is the best way to get closest to God and to live a better life that you can, both in public and in private.
As an American I freely welcome you to make the case against my religion, any other religion or no religion at all. If you say Islam is truth explain why other religions are false or have it wrong in print, in media and on the net.
As an American I freely welcome you to attempt to convert people even a Catholic like me. Convert the entire United States if you can
BUT
As an American and as a Catholic in America In return I Demand the following:
You MUST NOT prevent others from Worshiping God as they see fit
You MUST NOT restrict the public practice of other religions, festivals or any other celebration or expression of any other religion.
You MUST NOT violate the laws of the United States nor the individual States where you live in the practice of your religion.
You MUST NOT prevent others from making the best case they can, in public or in private, for their religions or religious denominations, nor prevent others from making their case to follow no religion at all.
You MUST NOT prevent others from making the case against Islam, for explaining the flaws in your belief and declaring that you have it wrong in print, in media or on the net.
You MUST NOT prevent others from converting followers of Islam nor must you harm those who do. Islam must be able to stand on its own two feet
You will note that I do not request these things, I do not entreat of you these things as a courtesy, I do not say you SHOULD NOT do these things. I say you MUST NOT do these things.
This is part of the American compact, America is not just a place where free commerce can get you anywhere economically, it’s a place where everyone competes in the battlefield of ideas and competes freely.
If you do otherwise:
If you choose to practice and excuse things such as Honor Killing
If you attempt to pass laws to restrict critique of Islam.
If you attempt to silence the voices that would argue against you by physical action or vandalism
If you commit violence against those who would preach another creed even in towns where you are the majority,
If you attempt to slay those who would choose to leave Islam.
If actively and material support those who would overthrow this nation and it’s laws or target America & Americans for slaughter.
Then I say you have broken the compact of America, and I will fight you in word or deed to my dying breath.
The choice is entirely yours.
My own Church the Catholic church predates your religion by hundreds of years. In nearly two dozen centuries it has had ups and downs. It has had success and scandal and it has been loved or as we see lately in America despised, attacked and ridiculed by those in power and media.
This doesn’t worry me. The message of Christ and the Church is a true message, it has faced obstacles for centuries and still endures and flourish. It will continue to do so.
I submit that if you truly believe Islam is worth the paper it’s printed on or the Arabic script it’s written in, then it can stand on it’s own in the marketplace of ideas regardless of it is despised, attacked or ridiculed by those in power or those in media without the need of violence, threat or intimidation to back it up and if it can not, if you can not allow it do to so, that tells me you have neither faith in the truth of your own religion nor in “Allah” himself?
We can either be friendly rivals both honestly arguing for he best for ourselves, our families, our neighbors and our country, or we can be enemies.
Your call.

Kindergartners given gay-centric lesson plans (By: B. Christopher Agee)

October is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender History Month – the second month of the year we’re told to celebrate the homosexual lifestyle. The first, of course, is Gay Pride Month. The gay community apparently needs a great deal of attention.
Black history (and presumably pride, as well) is celebrated during just one month, despite the fact that blacks make up more than 13 percent of the population. Somehow, an incredibly small, incredibly vocal minority of homosexuals require two months for the great advancements they’ve evidently bestowed upon society.
How small is the group? While polls suggest many Americans believe as many as one in four are gay, estimates put the total at a mere two percent.
Not only does a sliver of the American citizenry claim one-sixth of the year for its own self-indulgence; school kids as young as five are being forced to take part in the celebration.
A Florida school board voted on a formal resolution to include an LGBT history curriculum for its K-12 students. The decision came one year after California added gay history to statewide school standards.
I contend that sexual proclivity should not be discussed in kindergarten. This is pure indoctrination. Teachers are touting the merits of a lifestyle many view as sinful, and the target audience is quite literally captive.
Liberal idealists will call me naive; but for all their talk of inclusion, wouldn’t celebrating American history and American pride year-round help everyone feel as if we’re part of the same team? Instead, the left reverts to their default setting of separating everyone based on skin color, gender, or sexual preference.
This type of divisiveness has no place in America and, more importantly, should not be tolerated in the nation’s state-controlled classrooms.

Under the Fedora : Polls Crowds Grandparents

POLLS CROWDS GRANDPARENTS

  Strangest story I saw this week, the front page story of the Drug Dealer who is constantly putting up bail for his homeys

A drug dealer arrested in a large cocaine sting earlier this month has been using cash earned from the sale of drugs to bail out his alleged dealers and others involved in cocaine trafficking, according to police.

Hey one of the basics of running a successful business is taking care of your employees

  There is a Poll out of Pittsburgh showing only a two point gap between President Obama and Mitt Romney, strangely enough while the Pittsburgh Tribune is talking about this poll and the Lonely Conservative has written on it, the MSM hasn’t said a word. This poll is +6 D in the state yet all Obama can manage is a +2 in the poll. If you can explain to me how Barack Obama is a shoe-in yet is only up 2 pts in Pennsylvania you’re a smarter man than me. Speaking of explanations there is a general rule that if you are ahead, you tend to go to states that your opponents might have a lead and start to make a move to force them to use resources in states they normally would not. That being the case can someone explain why he was campaigning in Milwaukee Wisconsin? Just last week the media was telling us he was up 14 points in this state?   Meanwhile the there is a poll the MSM has not had any problem reporting on:

The New York Times, in collaboration with Quinnipiac University and CBS News, is tracking the presidential race with recurring polls in six states. In Ohio — which no Republican has won the presidency without — Mr. Obama is leading Mr. Romney 53 percent to 43 percent in the poll. In Florida, the president leads Mr. Romney 53 to 44 percent in the poll. The surveys, which had margins of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points for each candidate, also included a Pennsylvania poll, where Mr. Obama is leading Mr. Romney by 12 percentage points.

Being a calm and rational type I took the liberty of looking at the internals of this poll and discovered two things that didn’t make sense: In Ohio & Florida Mitt Romney is leading among independents Mitt Romney is getting 91-92% of the republican vote Well that’s odd if you are leading among independents and still drawing 91% plus of your own party it it’s pretty hard to be down 10+ or so in a poll at least it would be if you didn’t look at the samples So you have the media oversampling the Dems to the nth degree and the president campaigning in states that are supposedly safe, with interesting results

The pavilion was not "filled"--a local reporter for Patch.com filmed empty seats in the bleachers at the side of the arena (see above). Nevertheless, the Journal-Sentinal played it safe, putting attendance at roughly 5,000-plus, a small but respectable turnout. That's not how national media covered it. Darren Samuelsohn of Politico reported that the president addressed "a crowd the Obama campaign estimated at 18,000 in a city park overlooking Lake Michigan" in an attempt to "lock up" Wisconsin. Laura Meckler of the Wall Street Journal--whose news section, according to UCLA professor Tim Groseclose, is the most liberal of any major mainstream outlet--repeated the campaign's 18,000 claim without even revealing the source of the official-sounding estimate.

I’m sorry but if you have to use D+9 samples to generate a lead and then have to over report the size of rallies in blue states by a factor of 3 that suggests there is reason for panic in the land of Obama As I’ve said over and over again, look at what people are doing, not what people are saying. I’m typing this paragraph on the ground in front of a podium in Atkinson NH waiting for the GOP candidate for Governor OvideLamontagne& NJ Governor Chris Christie who will be speaking to a crowd that a bit over 200 as of the time I sat down on the blacktop.   You don’t hear a lot about NH in the MSM, I suspect that’s because the news out of the state is not going to be very good for the left One of the people I ran into was Tom Duggan. Tom didn’t like how the MSM and the newspapers were covering the news, so he started a paper of his own. It’s a monthly called the Valley Patriot and he does a lot of the leg work himself. It’s not quite the same as being a blogger but it’s there   Speaking of the NH Race living in Massachusetts I see all the NH commercials as we share a media market including the ads for Democrat Maggie Hassan. Of course I say “Democrat” because I’m able to confirm that online, if you were looking at her ads you would have no idea what party she belongs to or who the current president is. When I see Maggie proudly touting the name Barack Obama THEN tell me how good he is doing in the polls. ---------------------- Have you heard of my subscription only commentaries?

One of the best parts of the episode is the use the character of Rory’s father (Played brilliantly by Mark Williams of Arthur Weasley fame). With Amy & Rory leaving next episode I’m thinking it’s a crying shame he wasn’t introduced earlier.   Finally I mentioned Chris Christie’s speech I have the full think linked above but the close is so incredible that it deserves it’s own clip:  http://youtu.be/q1pIoBxAA3A

Remember this image as is leave, everybody feels this same way about this no matter what state you live in. This is about will our children be able to raise their children here where we grew up right? So in New Hampshire for all of you who love this state and helped to build it, what’s going to happen? if we don’t make the change that needs to happen, if we don’t elect Ovide governor and go in that course Then for all those little league games and soccer tournaments, for all those Christmas concerts and spring plays and for all those little birthday parties around the kitchen table that as grandparents you get to go to now because your children are raising their children right here in NH If this is no longer a place where they can get a good paying job If this is no longer a place where they can afford to buy a home, if this is no longer a place where there’s a great education to help them take their children to the next height they’re gonna to leave. They’re gonna to leave where that becomes available And then you are going to become airplane grandparents and you won’t make those little league games not all of them, or those soccer tournaments or those Christmas concerts or spring plays and worse yet you won’t make those little birthday parties around the kitchen table which is where the fabric of our life is woven

If this kind of speech was given in Massachusetts years ago, maybe we wouldn’t have 5 less electoral votes then when I was born and I wouldn't be advising my kids to
