<br />
<div style="padding-left: 60px; text-align: justify;">
<i>"<span style="color: #001320;">And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves."</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a very powerful verse as it demonstrates that there are times where wrath and immediate action are required of us all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I liken our American Republic to the temple in Matthew's verse above. It is a nation founded on Christian principals, by Christians, for all, believers or not. This final bit shows the compassion felt for unbelievers and the recognition of man's ability to accept or reject God.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our national 'temple', if you will, has degenerate to similar circumstances, a marketplace wherein the rights and privacy, even our very lives, are bought and sold by the corruptocrats in our government and the oligarchs and cronies of the corruptocrats. Our peace and Liberty are sold as doves to be sacrificed on the altar of tyranny.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<img alt="" class="alignnone" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/Giotto_-_Scrovegni_-_-27-_-_Expulsion_of_the_Money-changers_from_the_Temple.jpg/487px-Giotto_-_Scrovegni_-_-27-_-_Expulsion_of_the_Money-changers_from_the_Temple.jpg" height="480" width="487" /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We must become as Christ, follow his example and by taking up the sword of righteousness and overturning the tables of these 'money changers' drive these criminals from our holy temple of Liberty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Only by fighting for our endowed rights and by exercising those rights can we overcome the tyranny of our devolved and dissolute governments. Our prime rights, those declaimed in the Declaration of Independence, the rights to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness and the prime rights from which all others depend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is time to stand up. There is little difference between the dishonest political parties or between politicians. They grow fat and wealthy selling our Liberty to the highest bidder all the while smiling for the camera.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let us together act as followers of Christ and emulate his actions in cleansing our Republic. Work for restoration of true constitutional government and restoration of Liberty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Join together with other patriots, work towards restoration. Join a <i>real</i> legal militia (even if it is only as a support person or fund-raiser) or one of the unorganized militia groups (like <a href="http://iiipercent.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">III Percent Patriots</a>) that are active in both the <a href="http://iiipercent.blogspot.com/p/american-liberty-congress.html" target="_blank">political sphere</a> and in <a href="http://iiiguerrilla.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">training/guidance</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember, PRAY, act, recover. Never let your voice be silenced or your Liberty sold by tyranny.</div>

How do you practice humility from the most exalted throne on earth?

This week India's Supreme Court shocked liberal around the world in reversing a four year old court ruling that struck down the law outlawing <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Supreme-Court-makes-homosexuality-a-crime-again/articleshow/27230690.cms">Homosexual acts.</a></div>
<div>
</div>
<blockquote>
<div>
The bench said: "In the light of plain meaning and legislative history of the section, we hold that <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Section-377">Section 377</a> IPC would apply irrespective of age and consent." It added that the section does not discriminate any group with a particular sexual preference, a stand that was diametrically opposite to that by the Delhi HC."It is relevant to mention here that Section 377 IPC does not criminalize a particular people or identity or orientation. It merely identifies certain acts, which if committed, would constitute an offence. Such prohibition regulates sexual conduct regardless of gender identity and orientation," Justices Singhvi said.</div>
</blockquote>
<div>
Not only did the Indian supreme court make this decision but their ruling contained a statement that likely stung those pushing gay marriage more than anything else:</div>
<blockquote>
<div>
</div>
<div>
"Parliament, which is undisputedly the representative body of the people of India, has not thought it proper to delete the provision." <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Parliament">Parliament</a> has not amended the law either, it added.</div>
</blockquote>
<div>
Imagine, insisting that those pushing for gay marriage get the votes in parliament of the elected representatives of the people to change the laws rather than relying on the courts to do it for them. Why that's...democratic!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The main problem for the left of course with this ruling is that it was made by Indian jurists in an Indian court. To attack those jurists would be tantamount to cultural imperialism. What's a leftist to do?</div>

<div>
<i>Given the slow pace of lawmaking in India, an upcoming election and polls suggesting the conservative Bharatiya Janata Party could unseat the ruling <a href="http://www.latimes.com/topic/politics/government/u.s.-congress-ORGOV0000131.topic" id="ORGOV0000131" title="U.S. Congress">Congress</a> Party in national elections, it’s likely the ban introduced under British colonial rule will remain in place for the foreseeable future.</i>

No such problem with the ruling in Australia where gay marriage was struck down<a href="http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-12-12/rest-of-world/45120544_1_marriage-act-first-gay-marriages-couples"> a few days later</a>:</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<blockquote>
The High Court unanimously ruled that the ACT's law could not operate concurrently with the federal Marriage Act, which was amended in 2004 to define marriage as between a man and a woman.
"The Marriage Act does not now provide for the formation or recognition of marriage between same sex couples. The Marriage Act provides that a marriage can be solemnised in Australia only between a man and a woman," the court said in a statement issued alongside its ruling. "That Act is a comprehensive and exhaustive statement of the law of marriage."</blockquote>

John Boehner got a win this week, the Paul Ryan Patty Murray budget passed with overwhelming number of both Republicans and Democrats and he decided rather than point out the<a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/12/12/some-advice-on-judging-the-ryanmurray-budget-deal/"> merits of the bill</a>, to take out his frustrations on <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/12/13/and-some-smarter-advice-from-mr-coolidge-for-john-boehner/">the GOP base</a>:</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<blockquote>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
House Speaker John Boehner went off on outside conservative groups Wednesday morning for pushing against the new budget deal.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
“They’re using our members and they’re using the American people for their own goals,” he said. “This is ridiculous.”</div>

Really Mr. Speaker, you’re going to use your face time to attack conservatives?

</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
How likely would the Republican wave DaTechGuy remembers from 2010 actually have happened in 2012? Boehner wouldn’t have been Speaker and we would have had an uninterrupted reign of Madame “We have to pass it to see what’s in it” Pelosi. Now go to the next level of scariness – if you thing US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has enabled Obama’s Unitary Presidency by making the Senate all but irrelevant in the Founders’ scheme of divided Government, where would we be after four years of co-joined rubberstamping by a tag teaming Pelosi?</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br />
Gratefulness? Humility? For acting as the breakers against which the Obama / Democrat tsunami was stopped? Hardly – given what many have seen lately, there’s more than a fair share of Republican hubris along with Boehner’s that they alone were responsible for 2010 – and have subsequently thrown the TEA Party’s enthusiastic ground pounders (with their ‘outmoded’ political philosophy and their totally out-fashioned suburban / rural sense of sensibilities for the absolute nuances rooted in DC) under the bus with the flair and expediency of Obama.</div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">

We all know how alienating the base worked so well in 2012, does the party really want to go through this again?</div>

There were some contradictions at ESPN, first they banned an ad from a Catholic hospital that mentioned Christmas & Jesus then <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/espn-reverses-catholic-groups-ad-21209846">they unbanned it.</a></div>
<div>
</div>
<div blockquote="" style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br />
ESPN has reversed course and will now allow a Catholic charity to air a television ad heralding the birth of Christ during a college basketball game this weekend, officials said.
<br />
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The Cardinal Glennon Children's Foundation in St. Louis produced a 30-second spot asking viewers to write holiday messages to sick children. The ad seeks to "help us reveal God's healing presence this Christmas" and notes that the SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Center "celebrate(s) the birth of Jesus and the season of giving."</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
</div>
This type of thing always makes we laugh, there are a lot of people who really want to strike Christ out of Christmas in fact strike down Christmas itself, yet when they talk all I can hear is <a href="http://www.literature.org/authors/dickens-charles/christmas-carol/chapter-01.html">this passage from Dickens</a>:
<br />
<blockquote>
`You'll want all day tomorrow, I suppose?'' said Scrooge.
``If quite convenient, Sir.''
``It's not convenient,'' said Scrooge, ``and it's not fair. If I was to stop half-a-crown for it, you'd think yourself ill-used, I 'll be bound?''
The clerk smiled faintly.
``And yet,'' said Scrooge, ``you don't think me ill-used, when I pay a day's wages for no work.''
The clerk observed that it was only once a year.
``A poor excuse for picking a man's pocket every twenty-fifth of December!'' said Scrooge, buttoning his great-coat to the chin. ``But I suppose you must have the whole day. Be here all the earlier next morning!''
The clerk promised that he would; and Scrooge walked out with a growl.</blockquote>
I've yet to see any of these people decide to open their business on the 25th and decline to take or pay the holiday time coming for working on December the 25th. But that's no more surprising than big corporations <a href="http://lonelyconservative.com/2013/12/see-who-funds-the-left/">funding the left</a><br />
<br />
Later all.

Families USA (FUSA) — an organization that describes itself as a “national nonprofit, non-partisan organization dedicated to the achievement of high-quality, affordable health care for all Americans” — was given a $1.1 million grant by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on October 4, 2013, to gather “success stories” of Americans dealing with Obamacare and distribute them to the media who often refer to them as an “independent” group. This is part of a greater upcoming effort to bolster the perception of the lowly health care law.
“The purpose is to bridge the information gap for people who can significantly benefit from the Affordable Care Act,” Ron Pollack, the Co-founder and Executive Director of Families USA, told TIME on October 25, 2013.
However, the organization is a far cry from “non-partisan” and is extremely close to the Obama Administration and Enroll America – the group leading the efforts to sign people up for Obamacare.</blockquote>

One e-card reads, “As a reward for signing up for health insurance, I’ll defriend you on Facebook.” Another group, Organizing for Action, is seeking to steer holiday conversations toward health care by <a href="http://www.barackobama.com/health-care-holidays/" title="Video by the group.">encouraging parents to have “the talk”</a> with their adult children.

The Urban League of Greater Dallas has reportedly fired one person and suspended three others after an undercover video from James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas caught Obamacare “navigators” advising a potential applicant to “lie”and provide false information to get a lower premium and more subsidies.
<br />
<div itemprop="articleBody">
In a statement Tuesday, the Urban League said it “does not condone, nor would we ever sanction, misleading the public or any individual who seeks our assistance about any issue, and particularly in this case, an issue as critical as health care,” KDFW-TV reports.</div>

A left-liberal magazine’s publication of an article titled “The Republican War on Competence” would have seemed unremarkable at just about any point in this columnist’s adult lifetime.

Well in their eyes it's better than having a <a href="http://pjmedia.com/instapundit/180060/">president like we used to have</a> who spends his Thanksgiving <a href="http://www.blackfive.net/main/2013/11/ten-thanksgivings-ago.html">like this:</a>
<br />
<div id="stcpDiv">
<blockquote>
about 1500 the G2, LTC Devan, came up to me and with a smile, asked me to come to dinner with him, to meet him in his office at 1600 and bring a camera. I didn't really care about getting a picture with Sanchez or Bremer, but when the division's senior intelligence officer asks you to go, you go. We were seated in the chow hall, fully decorated for thanksgiving when aaaaallllll kinds of secret service guys showed up.</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
That was my first clue, because Bremer's been here before and his personal security detachment is not that big. Then BG Dempsey got up to speak, and he welcomed ambassador Bremer and LTG Sanchez. Bremer thanked us all and pulled out a piece of paper as if to give a speech. He mentioned that the President had given him this thanksgiving speech to give to the troops. He then paused and said that the senior man present should be the one to give it. He then looked at Sanchez, who just smiled.
</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
Bremer then said that we should probably get someone more senior to read the speech. Then, from behind the camouflage netting, the President of the United States came around. The mess hall actually erupted with hollering. Troops bounded to their feet with shocked smiles and just began cheering with all their hearts. The building actually shook. It was just unreal. I was absolutely stunned. Not only for the obvious, but also because I was only two tables away from the podium. There he stood, less than thirty feet away from me! The cheering went on and on and on.</blockquote>
Yeah we're thankful not to have a loser like that still in the White House.

How I wish I could have rode with all the patriot brothers who showed up in DC.<br />
I watched from my distant Quebec, read the stories and seen all the pics...with tears in my eyes. I don't have a bike anymore, can't afford it. Even if I did, my present situation would not have permitted me to go, taking money away from my family. You see, I recently fell into hard times, and feeding my loved ones is the only expense I can (barely) afford.<br />
<br />
Even though I'm a Canadian, I have much respect for the U.S.A.; A nation where the flag means something to millions of people, American or not. A nation who prides itself in FREEDOM. The FREEDOM to decide enough is enough, and where patriots are running strong, despite having the worst president ever.<br />
<br />
I watched and cheered as 100's of thousands of patriot bikers rolled on DC to block the GIGANTIC middle finger Muslims were about to give America, Americans, and everyone in the world who were affected by the horror of the 9-11-01 attacks on liberty and freedom. I also cried thinking about the thousands of fallen ''regular'' Joe's and Jane's, in the worst attack on freedom and liberty EVER.<br />
<br />
Of course, the mainstream media offered ZERO coverage of the ride, so I had to turn to new media, the internet, where hundreds of fellow conservative bloggers honored this initiative. Their stories and pictures made me rejoice in the fact that fellow brothers and sisters stuck it to Barrycade Obummer, and made me shed a few tears, thinking about the events that made me not able to attend this great show of American pride.<br />

Images like this one, leather clad, long haired, unshaven people paying their respects to the fallen, made me take a long hard look at America, and what it has become...When the misfits, the outcasts, the rejected are the true patriots, you know the much needed revolution is coming. All the bleeding heart Liberals can do is step aside, and watch us take back America for our fallen brothers and sisters, their families, their friends.<br />
<br />
I really wanted to be there. To show how much Canadians care about our cousins to the south...I would have bought the biggest ol' glory I could find, the biggest Maple leaf, and those 2 would have flown proudly together on each side of my iron horse. My head would have been held high, and my smile would have been so big, that I would have had to pick the bugs out of my teeth when arriving in DC. I would have brought the wife and kids to show them how great the US of A really are.<br />

Such as Babalu Blog post on the murder of Lara <a href="http://babalublog.com/2013/09/25/british-tourist-lured-by-low-crime-castro-propaganda-murdered-in-cuba/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter">Jones</a>:<br />
<blockquote>
<i>It makes the dictatorship look good, and more importantly, it helps drive tourism to the island. Tourists like Lara Jones, a British teacher who thought she was vacationing on the Castro regime's highly touted low-crime island. Instead, this young lady ended up murdered in her Cuban hotel room, and it took the press more than a year to finally report this heinous crime.</i></blockquote>
Normally <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/10330241/Teacher-who-visited-Cuba-due-to-low-crime-rate-strangled-in-hotel-room.html">the murder of a young lady in an exotic country like Cuba</a> would be something the MSM would swarm over but anything that paints such a country in a bad light isn’t apparently news fit to print.<br />
<br />
However there is a movie out about Cuba <i>Una Noche </i>Jay Nordlinger had this to say <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/article/359143/notes-movie-jay-nordlinger/page/0/1">about it.</a><br />
<blockquote>
<i>In </i><i>Una Noche</i><i>, life in Cuba is depicted as nasty, grim, and hopeless. Is it even worse than depicted? Oh, sure, for a great many. I am reminded of </i><i>The Lives of Others</i><i>, that masterpiece of a movie, which appeared in 2006. It is about East Germany and the Stasi. When I wrote about the movie, I heard from former East Germans who said, “Life in our country was worse — a lot worse — than what that movie portrays.” I mentioned this to the maker of the film, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. He said essentially this: “They’re right. But good luck finding a movie that’s closer to the reality.”</i></blockquote>
And asks this question:<br />
<blockquote>
<i>After the Castros fall, will the media and our cultural elites at large speak honestly about Communist Cuba? Will they speak about Cuba the way our ESPN writer spoke about East Germany? I doubt it. They have too much invested in the myths about Cuba: the glories of its health care, literacy, and racial enlightenment.</i></blockquote>
<div>
<br />
I think within a few years after the Castro government falls the media will be like France in 1948 where everyone claimed to be part of the resistance.<br />

Robert Stacy McCain brings to our attention a piece on what is and what is not acceptable to say these <a href="http://theothermccain.com/2013/09/25/woman-lawyer-offers-helpful-career-advice-gets-slammed-by-feminist/">days</a>:<br />
<br /></div>
<blockquote>
<div>
<br />
<i>Vanessa James is a British lawyer who wrote a column for the </i><i>Guardian</i><i> newspaper with the headline, “</i><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/women-in-leadership/2013/sep/23/formal-complaints-sexism-last-resort" target="_blank"><i>Formal complaints over sexism should be last resort for women</i></a><i>,” which included this:</i><br />

<div>
<blockquote>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i>The point is that everyone has boundaries and communicating these to colleagues through behaviour is key to avoiding unnecessary offence.<br />
It is also important to ensure that when a women is subject to treatment that falls outside her boundaries she can identify that and decide how to address it and move on.<br />
If you do not define your own boundaries then you cannot expect others to be able to either.</i></div>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div>
<br />
<i> </i><br />
<br />
There was a time when such advice would have been considered simple common sense, but in our more “enlightened” age it’s a cause for conflict and feminist blogger Katie Halper objected strongly..<br />
<br /></div>
<blockquote>
<i>Vanessa James is a successful lawyer — and that’s a </i><i>bad thing</i><i>, says Katie Halper, who writes for a feminist blog.</i><br />
<br />
<i>This is the difference between pragmatism and ideology: Do you want to solve your problem, or do you want to construe every problem to fit political categories and intellectual abstractions?</i></blockquote>
<div>
<br />
As Stacy has said <a href="http://theothermccain.com/2013/09/24/complementarity-vs-androgyny/">over and over</a><br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<blockquote>
<i>Feminism is a totalitarian ideology that acknowledges no limits to its ambitions. Men who seek to negotiate a compromise with feminism are like Neville Chamberlain, supposing he could have peace by handing over the Sudetenland to Hitler.</i></blockquote>

You can’t negotiate with feminism, you can either fight it or concede to it.<br />

One of the more significant stories of the week has been the slaughter in Kenya by Al Qaeda related groups that specifically targeted non-Muslims. There has been plenty written about that violence, but not as much about the American angle to the story that the tavern Keepers <a href="http://tavernkeepers.com/somolia-american-tried-to-warn-about-al-shabab-recruiting-was-called-an-islamophobe-by-cair/">blog has noted:</a><br />
<br /></div>
<blockquote>
<i>The Abubakar as-Saddique mosque in Minneapolis has recently been taking actions to combat al-Shabab recruiting of their members. However, this is only coming after they distanced themselves from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Abdirizak Bihi, a Somali-American community leader in Minneapolis, states that while the mosque was affiliated with CAIR it was a center for recruitment by Islamist terrorists.</i><br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i>“All of our kids were going there for years. That’s where indoctrination happened.”</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i>“[The al-Shabaab recruiters] become the father they never had. They engage them. And the way they engage them, is — these angry young men who are left on the street, it’s like, ‘[Americans] don’t like you. They hate you. So we’ll love you.’ In the end, they end up being brainwashed.”</i></div>
<i>When Mr. Bihi brought the terror recruiting activities to the public, CAIR responded by calling him an Islamophobe, the standard title attached to anyone who dares tell the truth about the actions of Muslim Brotherhood groups and other Islamist factions. There are a lot of Somali refugees that were resettled by the State Department in Minneapolis as the government of Somalia fell to Islamist warlords. While this humanitarian move is to be lauded, problems arose when the community did not assimilate and spread out as new Americans. Instead, they stayed insulated and a perfect target for radicalization and brainwashing by terrorists. According to a Washington Post 2011 profile of Bihi, at least 25 young men disappeared from Minneapolis to fight for Al-Shabab and dozens of others were being investigated for recruiting or fundraising for the terror group.</i></blockquote>
<div>
<br />
Atlas Shrugs has been all over stuff like this, but the rest of the media has continued to ignore those facts. Meanwhile PJ media has noted another fact concerning Kenya that has not been convenient to <a href="http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2013/09/24/lessons-from-kenya/">this media</a>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i>Reports from Kenya indicate that security wasn’t allowed to carry firearms in the upscale mall where the massacre occurred. At the end of the day, this was another mass shooting in a “gun-free zone.” It would seem that someone forgot to tell the terrorists that weapons were not allowed. Knowing terrorists, I’m sure if they had known about the restriction they would have dutifully complied. Still, there is that chance that some terrorists are not the most upstanding, law-abiding folks in any given neighborhood. Perhaps the better part of valor is making sure that “the gun free” zone goes the way of the dinosaur. We all may be a lot safer.</i></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
When I see this kind of talk from our friends on the left on gun free zones making people safe. My mind goes to a quote from Sheldon Cooper and the big Bang Theory:<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<blockquote>
<i>And I'm sure some fool in the Donner party said the snow would stop any day now. I like to think they ate him first.</i></blockquote>

I can’t wait for the show to come back new this week.<br />
<br />
Lee Stranahan is in Beirut reporting on Christians plight from the Syrian civil war and is <a href="http://leestranahan.com/exclusive-inside-job-muslim-neighbors-were-part-of-attack-on-christians-in-syria/">breaking news:</a><br />
<blockquote>
<i>In an exclusive interview with independent American journalist Lee Stranahan, Syrian refugees say the attack on the predominantly Christian village of Maaloula was aided by Muslims living in the town. The revelation that their neighbors were joining with the Syrian rebel jihadists to terrorize Christians in the small village about 45 minutes north of Damacscus came as a shock to them.</i></blockquote>
Anyone who hits bloggers as not real reporters should take a good look at the work Lee is doing right now.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I recently saw the movie <i>The Family</i> staring Robert Di Nero , Michelle Pfeiffer and Tommy Lee Jones. It’s a comedy but a dark one with a fair amount of violence and no cleaning up of what organized crime is.<br />
<br />
I’ve always found it interesting that the diversity police don’t have a problem with the portrait of Sicilians as a bunch of gangsters. Of course they (or I should say we) are White Europeans so there is no objection to any such thing. Of course I and most Italian Americans could care less.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Patriots are 3-0 and we’ve heard every week about how poorly they have been playing, Tom Brady has been particularly hard on himself. Yet the team has yet to lose a game.<br />
<br />
That’s how good the Patriots have been in the Brady Era, so great that when they are playing bad they start 3-0.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The Boston Red Sox are finishing strong, they’ve clinched the AL east and are fighting with Oakland for the best record in baseball. At the same time with five games to go there are 3 teams (5 mathematically) fighting for those two wild card spots. The Houston Astros are not one of them. With 4 games left they have lost 107 games. They have lost 11 games in a row and can realistically expect to finish with 110 losses.<br />
<br />
And if they do so they will <b>still finish</b> a full 10 games ahead of the 1962 New York Mets.<br />
<br />
Finally this weekend the 9<sup>th</sup> Doctor Special is coming up on BBC America, we have finally reached the modern era of the series. Christopher Eccleston only played the Doctor for one year and while David Tennant followed him admirably I’ve always if given another couple of years he might have proved to be one of the best Doctor’s who ever piloted the TARDIS<br />
<br />
If you haven’t seen any of his stories, I’d suggest doing so.<br />

<br />
A lot happened while I was gone but current events in Syria trump everything else.<br />
<br />
In terms of the realities on the ground, not much has changed. The various rebel groups continue to fight Assad. Hezbollah Syria & Iran’s proxy force in Lebanon has been enlisted to help defend the regime while Hamas and Al Qaeda are fighting with the rebels and attracting swarms of Islamists all over the world to help in the fight.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile we are informed that there are some rebels on the side of the angels who are not Islamists and simply want to remove Assad (a very reasonable desire) and some in the government particularly John McCain and Lindsey Graham have been pushing to arm these folks (there may also be reason to believe that attempts to do so might have had something to do with the Benghazi attacks.<br />
<br />
Reports of a chemical weapons attack broke <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-23777201">in late August</a>.<br />
<br />
On Aug 21<sup>st</sup> the White House was “<a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/318053-white-house-deeply-concerned-by-reports-of-syrian-chemical-weapons-use">deeply concerned</a>” within a week they went from deeply concerned to “about to attack” and just as quickly to seeking a vote in congress.<br />
<br />
Right now the smart money is on the president losing the vote but <a href="http://michaelgraham.com/why-liberals-in-congress-will-give-obama-a-yes-vote-on-syria/">Michael graham Disagrees</a>:<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i>it won’t be “fence-sitters” who give Obama the “yes” vote he needs. It will be hard-core, partisan liberals. They need Obama to help fight their fights, protect Obamacare, push amnesty, etc. An Obama who’s humiliated internationally by a Congress that then pays not cost for it (remember, Americans oppose bombing Syria) will have achieved his “fork moment” (as in “stick one in him, he’s done”) three years before the end of his term.</i></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i>Loyal Democrats won’t let that happen. </i></div>
<br />
Given that we’ve already seen him try to pretend that he didn’t set a red line concerning Chemical Weapons in Syria it will take more than a congressional vote to make him <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/09/06/whats-the-matter-america-yellow/">look strong</a>.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i>There are legitimate reasons to attack Syria, I’ve listed them but that doesn’t change one thing.</i></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i>Barack Obama is a weak man in charge of a strong country. No amount of missiles fired at Syria or boots on the ground when that fails, is going to change this fact nor convince our enemies who figured this out long ago, otherwise.</i></div>
<br />
If we decide to go to war just so this president can assert his manhood then we deserve the consequences but if the whip counts don’t change there is a chance that they won’t even bring this up for a vote.<br />
<br />
One of the oddest things about the entire Syria debate is the sudden decision by part of the left particularly the MSM that war<a href="http://theothermccain.com/2013/09/06/could-the-creepy-orwellian-vibe-at-msnbc-possibly-get-any-creepier/"> IS the answer</a>.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i>The other day, I saw Andrea Mitchell interview Bill Kristol on MSNBC and, if you have any memory at all, you know that Kristol was the Evil Neo-Con Liberals Hated Even More Than Karl Rove during <a href="http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/09/05/the-bush-burden/" target="_blank">the Bush era</a>. This morning, I woke up early and caught the 4 a.m. replay of Rachel Maddow, and she was so rabidly pro-war you half-expected her to break out into the “Patton” monologue:</i></div>
<br />
I watch MSNBC a lot and I constantly hear that if we don’t strike it will send the wrong message to Iran about our resolve of our country and president to stop their nuclear program.<br />
<br />
Of course that whole “resolve” argument would have more teeth if the president didn’t veto Israel <a href="http://freebeacon.com/report-obama-vetoed-israeli-strike-on-iran/">planned strike on Iranian nukes last year:</a><br />

<i>Giora Eiland, a former national security adviser to the Israeli government and a retired Major General in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), told the Israeli press that Obama “vetoed” the strike, which was planned to take place at the height of the 2012 election cycle.</i></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i>“Israel has the capability to destroy the Iranian nuclear program” and was prepared to do so, Eiland was <a href="http://mida.org.il/?p=17966" target="_blank">quoted</a> as saying in a private meeting earlier this month, according to the Israeli paper Mida.</i></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i>However, top White House officials “pressured” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cancel the attack on Iranian nuclear sites, according to Eiland.</i></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i>“There are many areas where Israel is free to act independently: building in Jerusalem, striking in Gaza, and other areas in our region, where we do not need an approval from the U.S.—even when they do not like it,” Eiland told the Israeli paper, confirming that Netanyahu “was about to give a go-ahead” before being told by the United States to stand down.</i></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<i>“But when it comes to issues that affect the broader American interests, we cannot act contrary to their considerations,” Eiland was quoted as saying.</i></div>
<br />
The record is rather amazing. The President was against the revolt in Iran against the Mulahs, pro Muslim brotherhood in Egypt, wouldn’t give the order to relieve Benghazi and support hitting Syria now that Islamists are fighting to remove Assad.<br />
<br />
I guess when Glenn Reynolds put it “They not anti-war, they’re just on the other side” back during the Iraq war days he wasn’t kidding.<br />
<br />
<br />

It’s a given with the number of elected officials in the United states that you are bound to hear one of the say something stupid on a regular basis but that woman from Colorado <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/sep/4/colorado-democrat-legislature-not-guns-will-keep-y/#ixzz2dxddCjMy">takes the cake</a><br />
<br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
Another Colorado Democrat has stoked the state’s raging gun-control debate by challenging the argument that guns are needed for self-defense.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
Colorado House Majority Leader <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/dickey-lee-hullinghorst/">Dickey Lee Hullinghorst</a> said in an interview on <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/youtube/">YouTube</a> last week that firearms ownership is redundant because the state Legislature keeps citizens safe from harm.</div>
<br />
Does that mean if you are an unarmed person in Colorado and are robbed or injured by an attacker you can sue the state?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We found out that the Fix was in during the Bobby Riggs vs Billy Jean King match from my youth. This had huge cultural significance at the time. I wonder how many of the people who celebrated that win at time would have spoken up if they knew then what we know now.<br />
<br />
Speaking of the Fix Anthony Wiener apparently used a company to create phony supporters. This actually isn’t as big a deal as it sounds as our friends on the left have been doing this forever.<br />
<br />
I still can’t believe the Red Sox are in first place.<br />
<br />
I also think it was a mistake for the Pats to release Tim Tebow, now there is no way to distract the media from the Hernandez murder trial.<br />
<br />
The 8<sup>th</sup> doctor special ran last weekend and it was strictly about the Doctor Who movie. What a waste of time. No Paul McGann no Charlie Pollard no Big Finish.<br />
<br />
I wonder since Big finish isn’t allowed to mention the 9<sup>th</sup> Doctor on if the BBC is restricted from mentioning Big Finish in reverse.<br />
<br />
I got to the movies this month and saw “The World’s End”. I thought it was really funny my wife thought it was hilarious. If that’s not the sign of a good date movie I’d like to know what is?<br />
<br />
I’ve been watching the Drama Broadchurch on BBC America. I’ve seen up to episode 5 so far and it’s one of the best things on television.<br />
<br />
In theory I could look online to find out who did it as this was broadcast last year but so far I’ve managed to hold off.<br />
<br />
One oddity, my son was watching it and noticed how many actors from Doctor Who including 10<sup>th</sup> doctor David Tennant and Arthur (Rory Williams) Darvill where there. There are quite a few but given the amount of time the show’s been on it would almost be harder to find someone who hasn’t appeared on Doctor Who at some time or other.<br />
<br />
Finally my youngest who has had trouble finding work for a while picked up two jobs in a week and is working both while back in college. On the way back from the bank he was commenting on how much money is deducted from his checks.<br />
<br />
The surest way to spot a future conservative voter is to find a teen who notices the amount of money he earns that the government takes from him.<br />
<br />
Next week all.<br />

<br />
Every morning my lead post pushes DaTipJar to make my weekly paycheck ($305). How would you like me to hit <i><b>your</b></i> tip jar for a change?<br />
<br />
Over the last 4 years DaTechguy Blog has kept the ball moving. The Scott Brown Campaign, CPAC 2010 and beyond, DaTechGuy on DaRadio on WCRN, the 888-9-FEDORA , Syndication of the Radio Show, the Weekly Paycheck, FTR Radio and finally breaking into the top 100 Conservative web sites in June.<br />
<br />
All of this is beyond anything I dreamed five years ago, but it's time to go to the next level!<br />
<br />
To get there I need to direct my effort to providing content which means less time chasing advertising in person.
Which means I need to find a person or group of persons to turn these stats<br />
<br />
.
<a href="http://datechguyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/1-year-stats.png"><img alt="My stats Aug 2012- July 2013" class="size-full wp-image-48568" height="478" src="http://datechguyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/1-year-stats.png" width="440" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
... these stats by state stats... (Click on the image for the full PDF)
<a href="http://datechguyblog.com/Dastats/Aug-JulyBystate2012-2013.pdf"><img alt="1 year stats by state" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48569" height="418" src="http://datechguyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/1-year-stats-by-state.png" width="440" /></a><br />
<br />
and combine them with this scatter map of Massachusetts readership...<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://datechguyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/1-year-stats-ma-scatter-map.png"><img alt="1 year stats ma scatter map" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48570" height="259" src="http://datechguyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/1-year-stats-ma-scatter-map.png" width="440" /></a> ...<br />
<br />
....and other states like Ohio...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://datechguyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/1-year-stats-Ohio-scatter-map.png"><img alt="1 year stats Ohio scatter map" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-48571" height="341" src="http://datechguyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/1-year-stats-Ohio-scatter-map.png" width="447" /></a><br />
<br />
and turn them into sales.<br />
<br />
To successfully sell any product there are two important ingredients:
<br />
<blockquote>
<b>1. Building a relationship:</b> People are not going to invest their limited advertising budgets based on a single visit or call by a stranger. A sale can take as many as 6-8 visits or more.</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
<b>2. Familiarly with a product:</b> The best sales person knows the product they're selling and can recommend it from personal experience.</blockquote>
So the Goal: Find a capable person or team familiar with the site and able to build relationships with a customer base scattered from California to Massachusetts and beyond, who is willing to do this work on a commission basis. Given the amount of time involved in such a job, that's a tall order.<br />
<br />
I think the answer, instead of seeking 1 person or team capable of selling to 24 businesses, <b><i>why not find 24 people capable of selling to just one business each?</i></b><br />
<br />
"But DaTechGuy", you might ask, "That's crazy! where do you think you are going to find 24 people to do this?"<br />
<br />
Actually I don't have to find them, they've found me. It's <span style="text-decoration: underline;">YOU</span>!<br />
<br />
Who knows my blog better than my readers? Who can make the case better than you? From Cincinnati Ohio to Huntsville Alabama, from Knoxville Tennessee to San Jose California, from Fort Worth Texas & Wichita Kansas to the District of Columbia, there are tens of thousands of you who can describe what I write as well as I can.<br />
<br />
I'll wager each and every one of you knows a businessman, advocate or even a candidate who might like the idea of reaching over 300,000 people a year for under $50 a week.<br />
<br />
30 seconds on an annual basis for the show goes for $2200 which includes a full year of ads on the blog. If only<b> 24</b> of them are sold I can dramatically expand the ability of both the blog and the radio show to inform and entertain you.<br />
<br />
The logical question you might ask is: <i><b>Why should we bother?</b></i><br />
<br />
Well it will mean a better site for you, a stronger hand to fight for conservatism both nationally and in blue Massachusetts and when we make things happen you can take pride knowing you had a part in it.<br />
<br />
Those are all good reasons, but we're conservatives, capitalists <span style="text-decoration: underline;">so let's act like it!</span><br />
<br />
You deliver me a customer signed and sealed at 30 seconds & 1 year for $2200 and as soon as I get the cleared check or DaTipJar hit for that sale I'll hit your tip jar for <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><b>$400!</b></span><b> </b> I'll even throw money your way if your pal contacts me & I make the sale.<br />
<br />
This blog and radio show exists and thrives because of the 319,566 people who visited in the past year. Your support has made this site a success.
With the help of just 24 of you:<br />
<br />
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i>Your friend's business or organization can promote their business or cause to an audience of nearly a 1/3 of a million people.</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<i>This blog and radio show will get to the next level becoming an even better source of news and commentary</i></div>
<div style="padding-left: 30px;">
<br /></div>
and you'll have $400 in your pocket. Everybody wins!<br />
<br />
If you want more info or if you have any questions drop me a line <a href="mailto:datechguy@datechguyblog.com">here</a>.
So what do you say, wanna build some new media organization together?<br />
<br />
My regular Under the fedora will return in September.

Life is full of various incentives and this week has been full of them.<br />
<br />
Breaking news today is the IRS is continuing to target conservatives even though the scandal is in its 90th day.<br />
<br />
Since the MSM is totally ignoring the scandal & Eric Holder has apparently no intention to enforce the law, this should be no surprise. There is no incentive for this administration to stop.<br />
<br />
******************************<br />
<br />
NBC & CNN provided an incentive to Reince Priebus to make a move that a lot of people in the GOP were very <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/08/08/the-brock-dowd-gambit/">pleased to see</a>.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>The problem becomes if you pull out of these debates or keep these people from moderating them then the MSM storyline becomes: “GOP candidates duck real journalists.” and that would be the meme on every single network and their excuse to duck out of coverage.<br />
<br />
However the Hillary Movies solve this problem admirably. It provides an excuse, a justification, well of COURSE we can’t have our debates with the people from CNN or NBC. as Reince put it:<br />
<br />
<em>The question is, if the party is going to spend time and money and resources in organizing an intelligent and reasonable debate calendar, should we have networks and moderators that are promoting Hillary Clinton depose our candidates and I say: No Way!</em></blockquote><br />
It's rather funny when your political foes give provide incentives to do the right thing.<br />
<br />
****************<br />
<br />
The Bob Filner case also is an example of incentives can you move you. New accusers keep popping out &<a href="http://minx.cc/?post=342329"> word is out that democrats knew all about what has been going on</a>, but Filner had an incentive to ignore this. Pick out Bob Filner in the video of the House lining up behind a defiant Bill Clinton during his post impeachment speech of defiance?<br />
<br />
<br />
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/IbgPTWfT-E8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
<br />
Don't you think Filner <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/08/08/bob-filner-knew-the-bill-clinton-rules/">took note of what happened to Bill Clinton since that day</a>? What would the incentive be for him to stop or fear being punished by Democrats for what he's done?<br />
<br />
I don't see one.<br />
<br />
************************<br />
<br />
In Colorado a property company provided an incentive as well, <a href="http://www.9news.com/news/article/348974/339/Apartment-tenants-told-they-must-get-rid-of-guns">for thieves</a>:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>As of October 1, residents cannot display, use, or possess any firearms or weapons of any kind, anywhere on the property.</blockquote><br />
However the reaction and negative provided enough incentive for them to <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/08/07/a-new-come-and-rob-me-complex-opens-in-castle-rock-colorado/">reverse direction</a>. <br />
<br />
Incentives giveth, incentives taketh away.<br />
<br />
*************************<br />
<br />
RS McCain has been talking about apparently a <a href="http://theothermccain.com/2013/08/06/ooh-another-atheist-sex-scandal/">rash of sexual harassment</a> in the <a href="http://theothermccain.com/2013/08/08/bill-nye-the-science-guy-harasser/">Atheist Skeptic community</a><br />
<br />
<blockquote>Now more women are coming forward to testify that the “hostile climate” for women in the atheist movement is not limited to the Radford situation. Atheist podcaster Stephanie Svan described a case involving Jim Frenkel, while Carrie Poppy describes her problems at the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF), which hosted the conference where Stoltznow claims she was sexually assaulted by Radford.<br />
<br />
The most interesting aspect of Carrie Poppy’s accusation is the finger she points at JREF President D.J. Grothe, whom she denounces for “constant duplicity, dishonesty, and manipulation.”</blockquote><br />
I don't understand the problem, if these people man in an evolved animal rather than made in the image of God that this behavior, while socially considered rude or in some cases illegal because of man made social constructs, would in fact be a natural result of said evolution. If that's the case <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/08/07/isnt-predator-who-collects-girls-a-natural-step-in-our-evolutionary-path/">shouldn't it be treated accordingly</a>. <br />
<br />
That being the case what is the incentive for them to behave otherwise if that's the logical conclusion?<br />
<br />
*************************************<br />
<br />
The Owners of the Boston Globe were responded to two incentives this week. The regular losses were a huge incentive to sell to whoever was <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/08/03/New-york-times-sell-boston-globe-at-93-percent-loss">willing to buy</a>.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>After purchasing the Boston Globe in 1993 for a then-record $1.1 billion, the financially troubled New York Times just announced it sold the 141 year-old paper to Boston Red Sox owner John Henry for a mere $70 million. That’s a straight 93% loss. Figuring in two decades of inflation would only make it worse — as does the fact the Times retains the Globe’s pension liabilities, estimated at over $100 million.</blockquote><br />
and the Red Sox owner has incentives<a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/08/03/keeping-the-neighborhood-pure-the-sale-of-the-boston-globe/"> of his own</a><br />
<br />
<blockquote>Maybe the Globe figures if anyone can turn things around, he can, after all he has a history of producing Miracles that nobody would have believed possible. (and that doesn’t even include this season).</blockquote><br />
Their fanatical liberalism however was an incentive for them to take an offer less than <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/08/05/nyt-globe-sale-or-why-liberals-shouldnt-run-an-economy-update-washington-post-sold-too/">1/4 of the high bid</a>.<br />
<br />
There is no incentive greater to the left than to keep the right away from any cultural component that can break their monopoly.<br />
<br />
********************************<br />
<br />
Since we talked a little baseball let's join the A-Rod chorus. He is playing pending the appeal of his suspension. He has hit .273 with two walks & a HBP to this point. No RBI's extra base hits or runs scored to this point.<br />
<br />
The Yankees are 11 games behind the Red Sox & seven games out of the Wild Card with three teams ahead of them before they even get to the wild card teams. He's not going to take the over the finish line. Why do you think he is coming back rather than just taking his suspension. Well here is <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rodrial01.shtml#contracts">an incentive</a> $28 million this year and between $20 & $25 million per year left on his contract. Until he loses his appeal his contract is solid but <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-08-05/alex-rodriguez-suspended-by-baseball-through-2014-season-1-.html">once he does</a>...<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>“The Yankees could argue that they’re going to try to void the contract, and certainly Alex Rodriguez would oppose that through grievance, and in all likelihood it would end with some kind of buyout rather than either side entirely winning,” McCann said in a telephone interview on July 29. </blockquote><br />
As long as baseball is giving out 10 yrs/$275M to people there is a huge incentive to keep doping no matter what the Penalties<br />
<br />
Speaking of money you might remember the name Tawana Brawley. Steve Pagones whose life was ruined by the accusations pushed by Al Sharpton et-al does and he's finally getting some <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/pay_up_time_for_brawley_8q8M98zvpApS46BonCokvI/0">satisfaction</a>:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>10 checks totaling $3,764.61 were delivered to ex-prosecutor Steven Pagones — the first payments Brawley has made since a court determined in 1998 that she defamed him with her vicious hoax.</blockquote><br />
<br />
What I found interesting is that while Brawley will apparently be working to pay off Pagones for the rest of her life, fans of Sharpton paid off his share of the debt years ago.<br />
<br />
You see Sharpton is very useful when it come to generating race bating headlines for the left or to incite a black community unwilling to deal with the reality of certain issues.<br />
<br />
Brawley is not, so while there is incentive to pay off the Rev Al there is none to bail out a LPN trying to support her daughter on her pay.<br />
<br />
Yeah the left really loves regular people.<br />
<br />
Finally I got into a big discussion on twitter this week over homosexuality. While I've always been a fan of the whole inch people toward the right direction people seemed really upset that I was unwilling to declare gay sex not sinful. One writer was particularly interesting as he kept insisting that prohibitions were all based on faulty translations.<br />
<br />
I found the argument VERY Amusing:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>It assumes for 100's of yrs people were mistranslating including the people closest to its time <a href="https://twitter.com/NotGayDalek">@NotGayDalek</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/OscarGaldona">@OscarGaldona</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CatholicLisa">@CatholicLisa</a></p>— Peter Ingemi (@DaTechGuyblog) <a href="https://twitter.com/DaTechGuyblog/statuses/365807441285349376">August 9, 2013</a></blockquote><script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script><br />
<br />
The Bible is not only <a href="http://home.comcast.net/~antaylor1/bestsellingbooks.html">THE best selling book in history</a> one of the most studied books in the history of history. The idea that all of the greatest scholars in the the last 1700 years have been totally mistranslating Greek for over a dozen centuries, including the people closest to the writing of the time until suddenly in my lifetime enlightened folk finally figured out that there is no prohibition against Homosexual acts.<br />
<br />
The arrogance of such a belief is amazing but there is a powerful incentive to such things that I wrote about a long <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2009/05/29/a-cutie-we-can-do-without/">time ago</a>:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>Over and over when I read about Anglican priests becoming Catholic we hear about the study of doctrine and the conclusion that the Church is true and right. On the other side we hear the I wants. The church doesn’t allow something that the person whats or objects to a sin that the person does, so they find a different church.<br />
<br />
One group looks for truth and goes toward it, the other has sin and wants justification to allow it.</blockquote><br />
There are people who understand the truth of Christ but have trouble with their sins, for myself it's a constant struggle & fight that I wrestle with daily but for some they've decided to simply redefine what sin is suddenly no guilt, no temptation, just something you enjoy.<br />
<br />
It's quite an incentive that can pay dividends for the rest of one's life.<br />
<br />
the question becomes will it pay dividends beyond it and that is, to me the most powerful incentive of all.<br />

<br />
I couldn’t help but think that is why cities like San Francisco no matter how much they would like, will never drive out the Church completely. They wanna have those 10 people in the city just in case.<br />
<br />
BTW on a side note as I’m typing this in word both Sodom & Gomorrah are in the spell checker. Just a reminder how deep the cultural roots of the Bible actually are.<br />
<br />
Speaking of this he media is absolutely having an orgasms over the Pope’s word on the plane back from the hugely successful <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/pope-judge-gay-priests-19800245#.UfZRe-9lJV0.twitter">World youth day in Rio</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Pope Francis is reaching out to gays, saying he won’t judge priests for their sexual orientation, in a remarkably open and wide-ranging news conference as he returns from his first foreign trip.<br />
<br />
Francis says: “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?”</blockquote>
<br />
To someone not familiar with you know actual Catholic Belief ,this are shocking words. But to those who know Catholic Belief he hasn’t said anything extraordinary. The media is spinning and <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/30/its-a-trap-deep-breath-my-fellow-catholics/">selling a bill of goods</a>:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Once we define ourselves, are lives and our actions based on sin, or based on our desire for sin everything changes. Instead of being the woman caught in sin accepting the forgiveness Christ offers her:<br />
<br />
“<i>Neither do I condemn you. Go, (and) from now on do not sin any more</i>.”<br />
<br />
we instead answer back:<br />
<br />
But Jesus, I like this sin, I enjoy this sin and who are you to really say this <i>is sin</i>? Maybe you should reconsider.</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
The media is setting two traps with the same bait. The media want both the uninformed about the faith and the faithful to think the Pope is saying something he is not<br />
<br />
<br />
For the media it is and always will be about spinning something rather than reporting something.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Anthony Weiner continues to be in the news. Byron York notes that those saying he is using the Clinton playbook is <a href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/weiner-using-clinton-playbook-no-way/article/2533625">wrong</a>.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Mrs. Clinton was a key player in her husband’s defense on both occasions, and today she is close with Abedin, her long-time aide. So why shouldn’t Abedin try to emulate her mentor’s success?<br />
<br />
Because it won’t work. Abedin can’t follow Volume I of the Clinton playbook because Weiner can’t deny everything, as Clinton did — falsely but successfully — in ’92. And she can’t follow Volume II because Weiner is not president of the United States.</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
While one can say he is not specifically using the Clinton Playbook he is certainly using the main Clinton tactic. DON’T RESIGN, <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/30/weiner-vs-the-clinton-playbook-byron-york-remembers/">DON’T QUIT</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Bill Clinton rightly figured there was no percentage in resigning and forever being the first democrat to resign the presidency. He understood what a post resignation presidency would be and it wouldn’t be anything like it is today and that doesn’t even count Hilary. His wife would forever be tagged as not the woman who stood by him but his accomplice in deceiving the public at the start. the first lady who did so and it would have made her own ambitions much harder to achieve.<br />
<br />
So they went all in vs Starr and with the media’s help managed to win.<br />
<br />
Weiner & Huma are using the same calculus.<br />
<br />
Weiner and Huma are staying in the race because they understand there is no advantage to leaving. If he pulls out he is the guy whose comeback failed and is done and Huma’s future is compromised by her defense of him. If he stays there is a chance, a tiny one, but a chance that he makes the cut to the next round.<br />
<br />
If he does he can credit Huma’s public defense of him and if he fails it can be dismissed as just not enough to save the day. As for the critiques of her while right now women are hitting Huma for backing him some were hitting Hillary too. That will pass but Huma’s connections and the funding they can provide will not.</blockquote>
<br />
While one can debate if he is playing out of the Clinton playbook one can’t deny he seems to have a lot of members of the Clinton team <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/08/02/more-members-of-the-huma-abedin-fan-club/">on his bench</a><br />
<br />
<blockquote>
In addition to Mr. Reines, other longtime Clinton loyalists, including Maggie Williams, who managed Mrs. Clinton’s unsuccessful 2008 presidential bid, Cheryl Mills, who was Mrs. Clinton’s chief of staff at the State Department, and Mr. Clinton’s longtime aide Doug Band, have all reached out to Ms. Abedin to offer support and guidance, according to several people close to the Clintons. Ms. Abedin, now 37, is something of a little sister to the group, having started working in the Clinton White House at the age of 19.</blockquote>
<br />
Or should I say Huma has a lot of members of the Clinton them on HER bench.<br />
<br />
I still think Huma is the real story here, her connections to Mrs. Clinton is, in my opinion nothing short of <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/31/barbara-morgan-burying-the-lead-the-huma-abedin-fan-club/">miraculous</a>:<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
In 1996 Bill Clinton was president and people were already talking about a political future for Hillary. Working with her must have been on of the most coveted positions for a young woman in the democrat party. Certainly there must have been plenty of sons and daughters of pols, campaign workers and democrat fundraisers who would have died for the chance to be in that position.<br />
<br />
Yet Huma Abadin a young lady still in college who has spent a lifetime in Saudi Arabia not only gets the job, but has stayed with Hillary Clinton her entire life since.<br />
<br />
Remind me, who is the one with the power, with the juice? Who is the one with the backers that people want to associate with?</blockquote>
<br />
<br />
I can’t understand why anyone isn’t asking these question other than me.<br />
<br />
<br />
We’re still 3 months away from the Big Doctor Who anniversary episode and I still have no idea how they are going to play it. Everyone seems to be keeping their mouths shut.<br />
<br />
I’ve always figured it you have something good, why keep it a secret?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Still no clue who the new 12<sup>th</sup> doctor is going to be, but this will be announced Sunday at 2 PM EST.<br />
<br />
I’m still of the opinion that they should have him regress, start to fix the procedure and then have it stick on the 8<sup>th</sup> doctor.<br />
<br />
That would not only solve the “having all the old doctors” in the special but would give Paul McGann a chance to actually play the role on TV. He has been first rate in the Big Finish adventures and I think deserves a chance on the small screen.<br />
<br />
we'll find out if that happens today<br />
<br />
<br />
How cool is it that the <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/08/01/gop-standout-against-the-new-gas-taxes-in-gardner-ma/">GOP chairowoman</a> is a fan of the Tom Baker Dr. Who episodes? It makes me feel a lot better about being old enough to be her father.<br />

<br />
Age is catching up to me and I’m finding more and more obits in the paper that are within a few years of me, this came to mind at a mini high school class party to celebrate all of our 50th birthdays this year.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Apart from the purely physical appearance of people it was interesting and rather pleasant to simply speak to people who had interests as diverse as Bird Watching to the same Doctor Who fandom that I enjoy. Their stories were no less interesting for my familiarity with the people there.<br />
<br />
It highlighted the advantage, at least in my mind, of NOT being on Facebook. Because I was not as familiar with everyone’s day-to-day activities the pleasure of discovery and the sheer joy of being with people was more pronounced</blockquote>
<br />
As for physical appearances let me say that the fact that some really charming and beautiful women there were not attached is a scathing indictment on the quality and gumption of single men between the ages of 45-54.<br />
<br />
I'm getting older there are less of these things left than I like, I'm glad went to this one not only for the reasons above but the restaurant had Kentucky Derby Pie.<br />
<br />
You haven't lived till you've had it.<br />

<br />
The most obvious repeat has been Anthony Weiner once again being caught with<a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/anthony-weiner-carlos-danger-sex-chats-report-2013-7?op=1"> his Pixels down</a><br />
<blockquote>
New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner confirmed the authenticity of new lewd, sexually charged online chats and photos that were posted by a nightlife website over the past day.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://thedirty.com/2013/07/exclusive-anthony-weiner-hasnt-changed-poor-huma-abedin-new-image-of-his-penis/" target="_blank">Nightlife site "The Dirty" posted images</a> and conversations that allegedly came from Weiner to a 22-year-old woman under the pseudonym "Carlos Danger."<br />
<div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div>
Anthony Weiner totty quest 2013 however hasn’t pulled him from the <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/07/24/anthony-weiner-facing-new-allegations-lewd-online-behavior/">mayor’s race</a></div>
<blockquote>
With his wife by his side, Anthony Weiner said Tuesday he's not dropping out of the New York City mayoral race despite new revelations that he sent additional lewd photos and text messages after he left Congress in disgrace for his prior online chats.</blockquote>
I think this and his wife’s decision to not only stick with him but to do it in a very public way designed to have the maximum impact on the campaign says a lot of very interesting things.<br />
<br />
While according to Mika Brizinski everybody loves Huma Abadin and thinks the world of her I find their whole situation fascinating<a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/25/huma-abideen-anthony-weiner-the-missing-muslim-outrage/"> the daughter of a leader in the Muslim Brotherhood female auxiliary marrying </a>a prominent Jew in 2010 as he is at the peak of his power and influence.<br />
<br />
I like Romeo & Juliet as much as the next guy but the Capulets and Montagues have nothing on the Muslim Brotherhood and the Jews<br />
<br />
He then crashes HARD and what happens next? Not only does he still maintain financial strength. Not only did people remain on the net defending him, but he manages to get sufficient financial backing to launch a campaign for the highest profile Mayoral position in the United States.<br />
<br />
People give money to pols and perspective pols because<a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/24/a-question-worth-asking-on-anthony-weiner/"> they either expect a return or they have a fanatical belief in the candidate. I’d be really interested in knowing who backed this guy up.</a><br />
<br />
Or to put it another way,. Was Huma protecting her investment in her investment in her marriage & family or was she protecting the investment of the Muslim brotherhood and or the backers of Anthony Wiener?<br />
<br />
It’s not a comfortable question but it’s not an unfair one either.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There is also the offer of a position at Politico, we’re talking about repeats,<a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/23/anthony-weiner-in-bed-with-politico/"> I’d really like to know if Anthony Weiner in particular or more importantly if Liberal Democrats in general have hiring privileges at Politico</a> at even an advisory level.<br />
<br />
That is one repeat that would be critical to discover.<br />
<br />
------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
A second repeat took place this week in New Hampshire. James O’Keefe of project Veritas spoke at an Event in Nashua. You might remember he had some issues with the NH AG over his sting revealing how easy it is to vote the dead in NH.<br />
<br />
Well in his return he laid <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/24/james-okeefes-message-to-the-attny-gen-of-nh-concerning-2016/">down the gauntlet</a>:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
“I’m going to come to the 2016 presidential primary here in NH. And I’m going to expose the fact that I can be voting the names of dead people AGAIN.“</blockquote>
<br />
Here is the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atictF7UED0">video</a>:<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/atictF7UED0" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
Breitbart said “Bring it on” O’Keefe does the same<br />
<br />
--------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
A third repeat took place for myself. <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/19/datechguy-on-daradio-saturday-noon-2-est-on-conservatively-speaking-7-9-am/">I guest hosted on Conservatively speaking on WCRN and did two hours there. It was a good time and a good show, it proves you can go home again</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/19/datechguy-on-daradio-saturday-noon-2-est-on-conservatively-speaking-7-9-am/">I also had the repeat appearance of Mike Hummell the former Hostess baker on my regular show talking the return of Twinkies.</a><br />
<div>
<br />
I still think the union should have taken that deal but given particularity the money that was taken from that pension without permission I can’t find it in me to question Mike’s decision or the others to say no. It’s just Going Galt in a different way.<br />
<br />
BTW my radio show DaTechGuy on DaRadio now is repeated twice, once at 11 PM EST on Saturday and at 10 AM on Sunday.<br />
<br />
----------------------------------<br />
<br />
A fourth repeat is coming next month. Market Basket choose not to act on the <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/17/market-basket-the-free-market-and-the-smart-thing/">dispute between Arthur T & Arthur S Demoulas</a> on who will run the Market Basket. A new meeting is scheduled for August and the decision is going to come up again. I can’t see the logic of messing with a company that is making a profit, has a happy loyal customer base and a labor force that would crawl over glass to support their current CEO and the company.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/PIcp7gl8Dmg" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
Why would you mess with success?<br />
<br />
-------------------------------------<br />
<br /></div>
The fifth repeat comes from England as the story of the Royal family continues with the birth of a new heir to the throne. The crowds have come the cheers have come and the circle of life continues. A few hundred years ago the birth of a new king would have huge political implications for the world, now it’s a media event. Not all things repeat in the same way<br />
<div>
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
-----------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
In Rio yet another repeat, the Catholic World youth day has come again and the New Pope has been greeted with adoring overwhelming crowds.<br />
<br />
Fr. Longenecker said <a href="http://www.patheos.com/blogs/standingonmyhead/2013/07/the-catholic-faith-ever-ancient-ever-young.html">this about it</a><br />
<blockquote>
Surrounded by throngs of young people I realized that this faith–ever ancient and ever young was suddenly alive to me and true to me as never before.<br />
<br />
What other institution, what other political party, what other ideology, what other celebrity, what other religion can marshall such crowds and inspire such joy, freedom and power? No wonder the powers of this world hate and fear the pope. No wonder Catholicism is the one religion–despite all its human faults and frailties–that remains at once ancient and wise yet youthful and strong. Only the power of the Holy Spirit himself could pour out on the world this great surge of faith, love and hope.</blockquote>
The Mass the pope celebrates in Rio and the creed and prayers celebrated there are repeated in every house of every day . The faith remains new and old forever.<br />
<br />
There was also an explosive device left at the shrine before the Pope arrived some repeats are not good ones<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As it is summer TV is full of repeats, although the episodes of the Drama 666 park avenue were new or at least unaired. Because of the cancellation of the show the last episode or two were re-written to give the show closure.<br />
<br />
I didn’t like the ending, it seemed contrived but given the circumstances what else could it be, but it is consistent with the possibility of bringing the series back at some future time.<br />
<br />
The Big Bang theory is in repeats too, they however are just as funny as the last time around.<br />
<br />
----------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
There are repeats at the movies too. Red 2 is out and Monsters University as well there is also the story of repeated failure in some box office blockbusters.<br />
<br />
People make a fuss about this but there are always summer movies like this that crash and burn big time. It’s not a surprising repeat.<br />
<br />
-------------------------------------<br />
<br />
The most important repeat of the week however took place in the House chambers on Thursday when the investigation of the IRS scandal was connected for the first time to the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324448104578614220949743916.html">White House</a>.<br />
<blockquote>
The IRS scandal was connected this week not just to the Washington office—that had been established—but to the office of the chief counsel.<br />
<br />
That is a bombshell—such a big one</blockquote>
As I watch the <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/19/the-white-house-office-of-misdirection/">White House spin</a> and the<a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/20/why-obama-staged-his-impromptu-presser-on-trayvon-in-three-images/"> media duck</a> this story I’m reminded of the Nixon white House as the train of Watergate chugged along slowly toward it’s finish. Even the impromptu press appearance of the president on Trayvon Martin was yet another repeat, an attempt to change the subject from anything but what is going on.<br />
<blockquote>
Still, what landed was a bombshell. And Democrats know it. Which is why they are so desperate to make the investigation go away. They know, as Republicans do, that the chief counsel of the IRS is one of only two Obama political appointees in the entire agency.</blockquote>
And of course Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson’s race baiting <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/07/21/Justice-for-Trayvon-Protests-Draw-Small-Crowds-Nation-Moves-On">and the smallness of their crowds</a>, that’s a repeat too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Detroit going under, now <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/22/detroit-and-going-the-full-sharpton/">that’s new</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There is one repeat involved however. Detroit got where it did by repeatedly following the liberal economic tax and borrow model for 50 years.<br />
<br />
And the repeat will become apparent when other liberal bastions unencumbers by GOP conservative voting blocks follow that same path<br />
<br />
This column will repeat in a week. See you then.<br />

I know I know you are seeing outrage, violence and many people beating their breasts, but believe me it is the dream result for the left and the Obama Administration.
If the verdict had been guilty what would the left use to justify more gun laws? To attempt to remove stop and frisk? How else would they be able to pretend that white on black violence is the greatest threat to young black men as opposed to other young black men?

The narrative is all and if you have to turn George Zimmerman into a “crazy ass cracker” then so be it.
The Irony of course that George Zimmerman's while being as white as Barack Obama <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/14/its-the-50s-again-black-man-acquitted-of-murder-powerful-influential-outraged/">also has a black grandparent</a><br />
<br />
If he had been elected in 2004 he would be celebrated by the same people who want his blood as the first black president.<br />
<br />
Let’ s not also forget there is a 2<sup>nd</sup> advantage for the left here. In addition to the things the left is talking about, <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/16/the-trayvon-martin-news-dump/">there are also the things that are not being talked about.</a> The Economy, Syria, Egypt, Iran, the Economy, the Obama scandals…
Eventually of course the Zimmerman stuff will fade and the media will need to find another reason to not talk about the president’s performance in office.<br />
<br />
I don’t see why the administration keeps worrying about that. Four years of Obama didn’t cause the public to turn against him in 2012 and he’s not running again.
One aspect of the Trayvon Martin story that is getting absolutely no press are the details as to why he was hundreds of miles from home on what would normally <a href="http://theothermccain.com/2013/07/15/mega-dittos-rushlimbaugh-credit-where-credit-is-due-and-more-questions/">be a school day.</a>
<br />
<blockquote>
You never know the answer to a question you never ask, and after this <a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/03/26/v-print/2714778/thousands-expected-at-trayvon.html" target="_blank">one story by Frances Robles in the <em>Miami Herald</em></a>, it seems that the media stopped asking questions about Trayvon. But that one article by Frances Robles pulled the thread that unraveled an important story, and for a long time, the only people who kept digging on that story were <a href="http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2013/07/15/failing-trayvon-the-miami-dade-school-police-department-scandal-begins-to-gain-traction/" target="_blank">the bloggers at The Last Refuge</a>.
MDSPD Chief Charles Hurley was suppressing the truth about the <a href="http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2013/05/01/m-dspd-cover-up-the-curious-case-of-trayvon-martins-backpack-with-stolen-jewelry-and-burglary-tool/" target="_blank">crime problem within the Miami-Dade school system</a>, and this was why Trayvon Martin never got arrested for his crimes. Instead, he got suspended from school,</blockquote>
And that is why Trayvon Martin was hundreds of miles from home and on his path to George Zimmerman, and way Stacy McCain was mentioned twice in two days on the Rush Limbaugh Show.<br />
<br />
There was testimony on the IRS scandal this week. It linked the White House to the IRS scandal. I wonder if anyone in the MSM is going to bother with it or if the Trayvon noise will still be too loud?<br />
<br />
Sorry that's not true, I don't wonder at all.
<br />
<br />
North Korea have been caught trying to smuggle weapons through the Panama Canal.<br />
<br />
Some things simply never change.<br />
<br />
<br />
It’s considered a given that a CEO and labor are meant to be at people’s throats, this isn't the case at Market Basket a Supermarket chain in New England where Arthur T Demoulas a multi Millionare owner and CEO faces ejection from the 9 person board.<br />
<br />
Mr. Demoulas potential ejection has mobilized workers throughout the<a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/18/datechguy-at-the-demoulas-market-basket-rally-july-18th-2013/"> 72 store company to appear at the location of the vote to show support for their owner.</a><br />
<br />
How many companies would absolutely KILL for that kind of loyalty from their non union staff?
<br />
<br />
Ok this might sound slightly sexist, but I was watching, A Few Good Men Recently. It's a great movie but what I really noticed was just how attractive Demi Moore was in that picture. Not once in the movie is she wearing anything even slightly revealing yet she was simply strikingly beautiful, something I never really noticed before.<br />
<br />
That is the true measure of beauty. Sort of like my wife 1st thing in the morning, best morning face in the world.<br />
<br />
I find my self noticing this stuff a lot lately, I'm guessing it has something to do with turning 50.<br />
<br />
Speaking of Movies I caught two conservative pictures this week. I finally saw Hating Breitbart on DVD. It was very weird to see events I was at, it was even weirder to seen Andrew in places where I hadn't seen him before.
I wish I knew him better, he always treated me very nice, one odd thing, I don't see why I got a credit in the movie, the two views of me were in passing and none of my footage was used.<br />
<br />
I also saw Monsters University, this time with the entire family. This was one of the best written animated movies I ever saw and (minor spoiler) the decision to use the old technology from the first picture and then switch to modern technology.
This movie simply oozed conservative values and themes, I'm shocked Hollywood allowed it to come out.<br />
<br />
Some sports. The AL won the All Star Game 3-0 but the big story was the last All Star Appearance (barring another comeback) of Mariano Rivera, objectively the best closer of all time and it’s not even close.
Red Sox fans have a soft spot for Rivera because they were able to beat him twice on the way to the World Series but players like Rivera & Jeter and Posada have always been a struggle for Red Sox fans who are torn between the instinctive hatred of the Yankees and respect for players of great skill who play the game the right way.<br />
<br />
I’m going to miss Rivera when he’s gone, except in the 9<sup>th</sup> inning of any game the Yankees lead the Sox by 3 runs or less.<br />
<br />
I talked about the sixth Doctor special in my last piece and re-watching it I noticed one thing that was missing from that special that was in every other.
David Tennant
The 10<sup>th</sup> Doctor had appeared in every other Doctor Who special but the 6<sup>th</sup> doctor, Nah.
I wonder if he’s skip the seventh doctor’s special too.
<br />
<br />
Speaking of Sylvester McCoy the 7<sup>th</sup> doctor his plays the wizard Ragagast in the new Peter Jackson trilogy the Hobbit.
Jackson’s 2<sup>nd</sup> movie looks great but he’s taking a lot of liberties with the book, given it’s a short book you have to stretch it with three movies but there are things that shouldn't be hard to keep.lays the wizard Ragagast in the new Peter Jackson trilogy one thing that was missing from that special that was in

Finally while the Zimmerman case continues to dominate the news some extraordinary things have been happening. Including Pope Francis being named man of the year by …<a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/15/vanity-fair-elton-john-on-pope-francis/">Vanity Fair Italy</a>.
Slowly but surely this Pope is setting up the background noise. He is the ultimate in the<a href="http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/__PVJ.HTM"><em> shrewd as serpents and simple as doves</em></a> field.
But as the Pope, he oughta be<br />

For the mainstream media there is no story more critical
than the George Zimmerman trial</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In one regard it’s no surprise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Anything that can provide 24 hour cable
networks with a steady stream of content is of value.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The MSM’s obsession with the case and the
continuous coverage has been dangerous<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>to their credibility.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For a year
the people have been told by them that George Zimmerman was a murderer who
killed Travon Martin and walked because of race, unfortunately for them the
state of Florida’s case has been so weak that their own people can’t see how
Mr. Zimmerman can be convicted.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even
more amazingly they’ve been saying this prior to the defense presenting its
case.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If there is any consolation for the left, the probable
acquittal of Mr. Zimmerman can and will be used as a political football in 2014
in the same way that the case itself was used to help re-elect Barack Obama in
2012</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One thought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>George
Zimmerman’s parents are Robert Zimmerman and Gladys Mesa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I submit that if George’s parents had been Robert Mesa and
Gladys Zimmerman and if he looked more like his mother than his father, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the media and the race hustlers would not have
made a peep and the case would not have progressed beyond the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>initial police investigation.</div>

There was an interesting moment on Morning Joe this week
where both Elliot Spitzer, the former NY governor who was hiring hookers and
Anthony Weiner who was tweeting out his junk to young women appeared for
interview on the same day concerning their campaigns in NYC for Comptroller and
Mayorreceptively.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mika Brizenski was raising the question of how New Yorkers,
particularly women could vote for either man given what they had done but the
answer to that question didn’t come from the interviews, it came from what
might be considered a throw away segment on the very same show.</div>

has not announced it) running for president in 2016 A segment comically hitting
Texas’ governor was aired.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That’s really says it all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Rick Perry failures on the campaign trail were pretty much of style and
may have been induced by the medication from an operation, while Spitzer’s
& Weiner’s failures were of character, honesty and in Spitzer’s case law.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet who is openly mocked?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I submit that if Governor of Texaswho has,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>during one of the worst financial times in
the last 100 years, made his state a success choose to run for either of the
Comptroller or Mayor of NY his chances of winning the votes of the people of

less that winning the <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Powerball jackpot

The 2<sup>nd</sup> Egyptian Revolution has been most
clarifying in many ways.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It established,
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>for example the willingness of the media
to side with Islamists when the chips are down, but the thing that has been the
most dramatic has been how it has proven Michael Totten’s 2005 <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/07/04/why-egypt-revolted-again-totten-big-pharaoh-predicted-it-hillary2016-did-not/">prediction

<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“I’ve had
this theory for a while now,” I said. “It looks like some, if not most, Middle

get it out of their system.”</i></div>

<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Sorry,” I
said. “That’s just how it looks.”</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lucky for Egypt they got it out of their system faster than
most, even more lucky for them unlike Iran the military had not been
compromised to the degree that they were willing to stop the people.</div>

harder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That Islamist leader was a lot

One of the characteristics of Arab democracy, Islamic or no ,has
been danger to the Christian community.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Christians have been fleeing for their lives in droves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This has produced an interesting side effect
in Israel, Christian Arabs openly and proudly joining the <a href="http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/23958/Default.aspx?hp=readmore">Israeli

but that was going to change. Many are now even referring to themselves openly
as "Israeli Christians."</i></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ali, an
organizer for the forum, noted that local Arabs see what is happening across the
Middle East and realize that Israel is the only place in the region where
Christians can feel safe and belong. "That’s why more and more of us are
realizing that there is no other country here that is worth fighting for,"
he added.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Arab Christians have resisted siding with Israel for three
generations.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It really speaks to the
current crop of Islamists that they were could produce such a result.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Designed to empower women, they are used to celebrate everything from

Hi! <br />
My name is Stéphane Beaudoin, and here's my story...You may know me as The Impolite Canadian or MaxPower1971.<br />
<br />
I
was homeless for the better part of 10 years in the late 80's and early
90's. MY life on the streets nearly cost my life as I was addicted to
hard drugs. It was a very miserable part of my life, but it was my own
fault. I chose to do drugs and it led me to become a drifter who
couldn't hold a job because of my addiction. I ''lived'' from petty jobs
and crime. <br />
<br />
One day, I finally had enough, and left for a small
village where hard drugs were very hard to find and started my new clean
life because someone believed in me. This farmer took me in, endured me
in my withdrawals, fed me, put clothes on my back, and gave me a job.
After a while, I told him of my dream of becoming an
excavation/snowplowing contractor, and he believed in me. He forked out
7000$ to buy my first snowplow, and a new entrepreneur was born! And
I've been clean since then.<br />
<br />
<br />
In the early 2000's, I was the
president of my own company and employed up to 20 people. I had
contracts with Many provinces, as well as private clients. I was debt
free and living large. Even helped out a few people along the way to pay
it back, and pay it forward.<br />
<br />
Then, while trying to do something
good for my community at the time, I messed up bad and was fined 150
000$ dollars and that put me bankrupt. You see, I was waiting for the
city permit to demolish an old building that was abandoned for many
years, when 2 rapes happened in the building. I decided to tear the
building down before getting the permit, so no rapist could EVER do
their dirty deeds in there again...<br />
<br />
<br />
After this episode, I
built a new business in the same fields, but in a new town. It was never
as big as the first one, but it provided for me and mine....until this
year when I became sick with a very aggressive staph infection, causing
bumps on my skin that would explode in a bloody mess every now and then.
The infection is now in my blood and lungs and it very hard to treat
because the medication makes me sick even more. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I never
asked for anything in life, but now I'm at the end of my rope. I had to
take a part time job beside my business because I just can't look for
contracts anymore. Some days I just can't get out of bed I'm so weak. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My
rent check just bounced, a check to reimburse my mother just bounced,
and I have all kinds of utility and insurance and loan payments due this
week, and the money just isn't there to cover them. My truck broke
down, and now I'm even more unable to work than before. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I desperately need help! . My offer to you is this: <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I
will reimburse EVERYBODY who gives me a helping hand. EVERY CENT OF IT,
within 6 months, unless you state you don't want anything back. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm
in dire need of a few good Samaritans to help me thru this. I don't
want to make my family suffer because I cannot work and provide for
them. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My mother and Father helped as much as they could, but they just can't do it anymore. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Help me fight this thing and become a productive member of the community again! <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you and God Bless!!<br />
<br />

A lot has happened this week that has not been fun for a
conservative.</div>

On Monday the Senate passed the Corker Hoeven amendment and
managed to get cloture on the “immigration” <s>amnesty</s> bill.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It amazes me that the same republicans who have complained
loudly in the budget debate that we can’t have tax increases with the promise
of spending cuts later are willing to allow legislation with the promise of
future securing of the border.</div>

I’m particularly disappointed with Senator Rubio &
Senator Ayotte.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both had been supported
by Sarah Palin and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tea Party groups and

immigrants" and "amnesty" before border security while running
in the Florida Republican Senate primary against Charlie Crist in 2010. She
said Ayotte, whom she endorsed, had on her campaign website in 2010 that there
were "no excuses" not to secure the border and also said she would
not support amnesty. </i></div>

think that they should be challenged. I don't have a problem with heated
debates and contested primaries where they have to answer to constituents
regarding their flip-flopping on such a fundamental position as amnesty for
illegal immigrants," she told Gibson. "I don't have a problem at all
with contested primaries. In fact, competition makes us all better and makes us
be held accountable and I'd like to see them held accountable and answer as to
why it is that they flip-flopped."</i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
On Rubio there are two possibilities that come to my
mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rubio might have been played, he’s
fairly young and occasionally such people are played.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If he just came out and said so people would
let it go.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As for Senator Ayotte I suspect part of this flip is out of
deference to her allies McCain and Graham who she has worked closely with on
Benghazi (and done yeoman work) but I suspect part of it is because she was
trying to get the left off of her back over the Toomey Manchin.</div>

that he will not bring up the Senate’s immigration overhaul for a vote in the
House. “Weeks ago, I — along with Eric, Kevin, Cathy and Bob Goodlatte —
issued a statement making clear that the House is not going to just take up and
vote on whatever the Senate passes,” Boehner told lawmakers, per a source in
the room. <b>"We’ll do our own bill, through regular order and it’ll be a
bill that reflects the will of our majority and the people we represent.”</b>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">On Tuesday in Massachusetts Ed Markey running in a
special election with no other democrat on the ballot managed to only pull 60%
of the vote that one of the worst candidates in US Senate History Martha
Coakley.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Opposing him was Gabriel Gomez, Navy Seal, Navy Pilot,
successful businessman and a 1<sup>st</sup> Generation immigrant from
Columbia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the GOP arguing loudly
that the immigration bill needed to pass to get Hispanics to be willing to vote
Democrats Gomez who won the primary with over 50% despite straying from the
bases position on Climate Change, Gun Control, was apparently a perfect fit
since he also endorsed the gang of eight bill even before the </span>Corker
Hoeven was suggested.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And while Gomez won several towns back that Brown had lost
in 2012 the appeal among Hispanic voters was apparently <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/06/26/the-mass-gop-and-the-fable-of-the-mythical-land-of-hispanica/">overstated</a>:</div>
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">So on
election day they went to a city with many people from “Hispanica” and said:
“Look our candidate is a child of Hispanica just like you! Come vote for
him!” But the people of that city said: We’ve never heard of a country
called “Hispanica” Our parents come from a country called “The Dominican
Republic” and they voted for the party they always did.</i></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Then they
went to another town and said “Look our candidate is from the land of Hispanica
just like you” and the people of that town said: “We’ve never heard of a land
called ‘Hispanica” our fathers came from a land called “Brazil” and they voted
for the party they always did.</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Ok that’s not <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">exactly</i>
how it happened but the bottom line is he drew only 45% of the vote.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I’m sorry, Gabriel Gomez is a nice guy with a great
personal story but if supporting amnesty doesn’t do the trick with Spanish
speaking voters when you’re running a 1<sup>st</sup> generation Columbian with
the last name “Gomez” odds are you aren’t going to do better supporting this
kind of bill with the last name “Alexander” or Graham.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Then later in the evening after a long Filibuster in the Texas
was finally broken the mob managed to stall long enough to block a bill that
would have prevented the next Kermit Gosnell in Texas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stopping the bill made the left absolutely
giddy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Donna Brazille compared the fight to stop that abortion
bill to the civil rights era.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She was
right in on respect, just like in the old days the people fighting hardest for
the right to kill black children were democrats.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Then came Wednesday and a pair of Supreme Court rulings,
first the a section of DOMA was overturned meaning the Federal government has
to treat gay married couples in state where it is legal in terms of
benefits.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The most amazing thing about
the ruling was the impugning of the motives of all those who have opposed Gay
Marriage as Rush put it:</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">In 1996,
the Defense of Marriage Act passed the House of Representatives 342 to
67. It passed the Senate 85 to 14. What a bunch of bigots! The
Supreme Court majority today said that all of those 342 in the House and those
85 in the Senate passed the Defense of Marriage Act 'cause they hated gays.</i></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">And they
wanted to punish gays, and they wanted to demean gays, and they wanted to
impugn gays, and they wanted to impugn homosexuality. That's why 342
members of the House passed DOMA, and that's why 85 Senators voted for
it. Bill Clinton signed it into law, and today Bill Clinton and his
lovely and gracious wife, Hillary Rodham Rodham, issue a statement hailing the
decision overturning the Defense of Marriage Act which he signed into
law. </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Nobody was talking about this at all 20 years ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who knew the entire population of the country
since its founding was a bunch of evil bigots all that time?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No wonder the self-righteous left hates them
so.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Worse than the first decision was the second that
effectively repealed California’s Prop 8 which was a ballot initiative
forbidding gay marriage in the California constitution.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The court rules the people appealing a lower court that cancelled
out the successful referendum did not have standing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The problem the folks who DID have standing
to appeal, the state had vehemently opposed the referendum (which is why the
people went that route) and absolutely refused to defend it in </span><a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/06/26/what-the-5-4-prop-8-decision-means-its-worse-than-you-think/"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">court</span></a><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">:</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Why go through
all that time and effort and expense when even if you win, all the party
machine needs is a single sympathetic lower court judge to rule in their and
violà you’re foiled without standing to appeal.</i></div>
<div style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fans of Gay
Marriage might be cheering today, but not as loud as fans of one party
autocratic government.</i></div>

On Wednesday <a href="http://twitchy.com/2013/06/19/audit-this-tea-partyers-take-to-the-capitol-for-audittheirs-rally-pics-vine/">10,000
Tea party members</a> came to the Capital on short notice to protest the IRS
scandal. TEA generally stands for Taxed Enough Already but this time it stood
for Targeted Enough Already. It’s my opinion that this scandal is the only one
with legs due to the legalities involved, but as I watch the left continue to
circle the wagons for Barack Obama and the IRS I’m reminded of an old Star Trek
Episode the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708464/quotes">Enterprise
Incident.</a><br />
<b>COMMANDER:</b><i> But I doubt it'll clear you of espionage.</i><br />
<b><i>KIRK:</i></b><i> We were not spying, Commander.</i><br />
<b>COMMANDER:</b><i> Your language has always been most difficult
for me, Captain. Perhaps you have another word for it.</i><br />
<b>KIRK:</b><i> You're grossly mistaken if you think we were
there...</i><br />
<b>COMMANDER:</b><i> Captain, if a Romulan vessel ventured far
into Federation territory without good explanation, what would a starbase
commander do? You see, it works both ways.</i><br />
Is there a single member of the left that would buy this administration's
explanations for the IRS scandal (or in fact any of the scandals) if they were
coming from the Bush administration?<br />
I think not.<br />
Incidentally for my non-geek readers, the reason why the Romulans were using
" Klingon Design" for their ship was because a production assistant
stepped on the Romulan model while unpacking them.<br />
The Edward Snowden story becomes odder and odder, I haven’t decided if he’s
just a traitor trying to bring the country down or a fanatic who thinks it was
necessary to stop government overreach but Bob Schieffer made an excellent
point on <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-3460_162-57589511/bob-schieffer-edward-snowden-is-no-hero/">the
subject</a>:<br />
<i>Some of the people I admire most took on the government -- men and women
who led the civil rights movement: Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. They are
true heroes.</i><br />
<i>I'm not ready to put Edward Snowden in that category.</i><br />
<i>For one thing, I don't remember Martin Luther King Jr. or Rosa Parks
running off and hiding in China. The people who led the civil rights movement
were willing to break the law AND suffer the consequences. That's a little
different than putting the nation's security at risk and running away. </i><br />
The case reminds me a bit of the Kate Hunt case there was a real rush to
turn him into a hero by some and I suspect they will regret it as more information
comes out.<br />
I really dislike Glenn Greenwald as a rule. He was one of the “It’s
America’s fault just after 9/11” and frankly I wouldn’t doubt for one moment
that the injury to security of the country is to his liking but I’ll give him
this. He has been no hypocrite. He has been just as hard on the Obama
administration as he was on the Bushes.<br />
None of the other scandals were able to get bring the <a href="http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/06/17/cnn-poll-obama-approval-falls-amid-controversies/">president’s
numbers down with youth</a> but this one has and my oldest believes <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/06/18/then-obama-came-for-the-downloaders/">he
knows the reason</a>:<br />
<i>while the youth might not care about the implications of silencing the
Tea Party or dead navy seals but they know that industry and they how much they
want stiff penalties for illegal downloads.</i><br />
<i>My son told me he has friends who have been downloading movies and songs
for years who literally are afraid of using their computers since the NSA
scandal broke.</i><br />
You want to get people excited hit them where they live and today youth live
online.<br />
The tea party protest in Washington wasn’t the only protest that took place
recently. There was an Anti-gun protest in San Bernedino that I found <a href="http://www.sbsun.com/news/ci_23464357/organizing-action-rallies-san-bernardino-gun-control">interesting.
</a><br />
<i>Exactly six months after 20 children and six adults were killed at Sandy
Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., a small group from Organizing for
Action stood here Friday with 26 flags and signs calling for stricter gun
control. </i><br />
What’s significant about this protest was that the San Bernadino Sun sent a
staff writer to cover this protest and devoted almost 200 words to the story of
a protest that drew only <b>three people.</b><br />
Mind you this same paper when the March for life took place and 500,000
showed up in Washington DC and <a href="http://pjmedia.com/zombie/2013/01/30/walk-for-life-vs-roe-v-wade-birthday-party-abortion-showdown-sf/?singlepage=true">over
50,000 showed up in San Francisco</a> didn’t find it newsworthy enough for an
entry.<br />
People wonder why the left is so afraid of the Koch brothers possibility
buying the LA Times. This is why.<br />
Senator Ted Cruz is on a roll, first he goes after the Immigration bill
(nobody has yet explained why people unwilling to enforce immigration laws
before amnesty would be willing to do so afterward. He then came up with this
tweet concerning the white House arming Syrian Rebels:<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Anyone know if President Obama intends to perform background checks on the Syrian rebels before providing them weapons?<br />
— Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) <a href="https://twitter.com/SenTedCruz/statuses/347059313421987840">June 18, 2013</a></blockquote>

Matt Smith’s upcoming departure as the Doctor has led me to begin reviewing
his episodes in order. The first three are <a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/06/09/matt-smith-as-the-doctor-in-order-s5-ep1-the-eleventh-hour/">here</a><a href="http://datechguyblog.com/2013/06/15/matt-smith-as-the-doctor-in-order-s5-ep-2-the-beast-below/">here</a>

<br />
This week is the best sports week of the year, you have Baseball, and you
have the Stanley Cup Finals and the NBA finals all at once. One might argue for
a different time but unless baseball is in the mix it doesn’t count.<br />
So far the NBA finals and the NHL finals have really lived up to the hype.
Some of the best Hockey and Basketball of the year continues to be played right
now.<br />
Some TV?<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0810788/">Burn Notice</a> is in
its final season, I’ve never understood of announcing at the star of a season
that a popular series is about to end, I can understand a actor wanting to move
on but considering how many actors never find another series I’d stick with
what works. Then again if a writer is bored and new writers are brought in, the
quality almost always suffers.<br />
Speaking of TV did MeTv pick the perfect time to bring back Hogan’s Heroes
or what, consider this promo:<br />

Doesn’t Sgt.Schultz sound like the president when being asked about various
scandals?<br />
Finally had to kill the cat this week, we’ve had it for a dozen years and
got her at age 5. I was struck that the vet was still affected emotionally
given that they kill animals on a daily basis.<br />
You might notice that I use “kill” rather than “put down” or “put to sleep”
because that is what was done. My wife is very angry at me for using those
words instead of euphemisms.<br />
I’m reminded of a scene from the Movie: T<u>he fighting Kentuckian</u>.
Breen (John Wayne) has been captured by the bad guys who are preparing to kill
him.<br />
<b>Hayden:</b> Good night Mr Breen<br />
<b>Breen:</b> You mean I can go<br />
<b>Hayden:</b> Anytime<br />
<b>Breen:</b> What makes you think I will?<br />
<b>Hayden:</b> Because that way you’ve got a chance, a small one
but a chance<br />
<b>Breen:</b> Well, never let it be said I didn’t take it.<br />
As a Catholic the #1 imperative for a human is salvation but as a cat like
all animals has no soul the #1 imperative is survival. Given that the cat had a
0% of survival going to the vet to be drugged to death I can’t see how that’s
kinder that giving her fighting chance to live another day, week or month.<br />
But that’s me.<br />
Later all.<br />
