Baraq Obama in Hebrew means...

For the record, I do not think that President Obama is the antiChrist written of in the Bible, and I would mention that in modern times alone, just about everyone from Adolf Hitler to Elvis Presley has been proclaimed to be the antiChrist by someone.

I would say that the word study association used for this short film is very interesting, rather than the nitwittish way used to proclaim Ronald Reagan was the beast (each of his names had 6 letters!!!!). The man who made the film has himself said: "I take the middle road. I don't take it with a grain of salt, but I don't use the Bible like a Ouija board either. It's not like a magical crystal ball. Clear prophecy is one thing. Making word associations is another. Just look at it. I wouldn't take it super serious and say that's the proof we need. It's a little weird."

All in all, an interesting way to spend a few minutes...

FOX Sports stupid idea regarding Vick

According to an article on the FOXNEWS site… (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,535380,00.html?test=latestnews)

FOX Sports' John Czarnecki writes that Vick needs a solid team as much as any team may need him. He predicted the Patriots coach could be just the ticket.

"Bill Belichick would treat Vick like a man and force him to act like one," Czarnecki says of the Patriots' coach. "The way Belichick operates the Patriots, Vick would be surrounded by a solid group of professionals in the locker room."

Vick is supposed to be a changed young man who now wants to become a role model and lead an honorable life; to do this he will most definitely need very strong support from those around him – professionally and privately.

And Czarnecki believes that is what he would get with the New England Patriots, whose coach and many of its players are known far and wide as cheaters, liars, and unprincipled unethical thugs???

Yeah, right!

Coulter on the money

Anne Coulter – WorldNetDaily Commentary

How about a conversation on race hoaxes?

Posted: July 29, 2009 6:20 pm Eastern © 2009

You could not ask for a more perfect illustration of the thesis of my latest book, "Guilty: Liberal Victims and Their Assault on America," than the black president of the United States attacking a powerless white cop for arresting a black Harvard professor – in a city with a black mayor and a state with a black governor – as the professor vacations in Martha's Vineyard.

In modern America, the alleged "victim" is always really the aggressor, and the alleged "aggressor" is always the true victim.

President Barack Obama planted the question during a health care press conference, hoping he could satisfy the Chicago Sun-Times, which has been accusing him of not being black enough. He somehow imagined that the rest of the country might not notice the president of the United States gratuitously attacking a cop in a case of alleged "racial profiling."

Oops.

Suddenly, with the glare of the national spotlight being turned on a small local story, it became clear that there was no "racial profiling" involved – other than by the black Harvard professor, who lorded his credentials and connections over a white working-class cop.

We wouldn't have known about this case at all if the professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., hadn't blast e-mailed the universe that he was harassed by racist cops. Gates thought it would be a feather in his cap, not realizing there are huge areas of the country where people don't think it's heroic to browbeat cops checking on you after you break into your own house, such as 99 percent of the country outside of Cambridge.

Contrary to liberals' ardent desire, Sgt. James Crowley was not on tape saying, "I know it's his house, but let's stick it to this uppity negro." (Curiously, the tape of Gates' call demanding to talk to the chief of police to "report" Crowley has been withheld. Some watchdog group has got to demand that tape.)

But what if Crowley hadn't been a model policeman who taught diversity classes and once famously gave mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a black athlete?

What if the 9-1-1 caller had identified the suspected burglars as black, which it turns out she did not?

What if Crowley hadn't been fully supported by other cops at the scene, one Hispanic and one black? (Liberals will say cops stick together, but I say liberals stick together.)

What if, at some point in his life, Crowley had been accused – falsely or not – of racism?

His life would be ruined.

Desperate to blame the cop, despite the facts, some liberals have begun making up their own facts. Radio talker Opio Sokoni claimed Crowley told Gates to "shut up" and "I'm going to win, you're going to jail." Even Gates doesn't claim the cop said that.

On MSNBC's "Hardball," Chris Matthews said that Gates did not say, "I'll speak with your mama outside," as stated in the police report.

"He didn't say this," Matthews asserted as fact. This invented fact allowed Matthews to accuse the cop of engaging in "projection" and to conjure Crowley's psychological state, saying, this is "what a white guy thought a black guy would say."

Eugene Robinson endorsed Matthews' invented fact, saying: "I cannot imagine in this universe Skip Gates saying, 'I'll speak with your mama outside.'" As proof, Robinson explained that Gates "rolls with kings and queens and Nobel Prize winners." (I'm not "projecting" what I think a black man would say; he really said that.)

And then they both had a laugh about the cop applying racist stereotypes to such an esteemed figure as professor Gates, who apparently would never use the phrase "your mama."

First, unlike these aesthetes, I don't consider "your mama" such an implausible expression for someone to use.

Second, Sgt. Crowley wrote his police report, including the "your mama" line, long before he, or anyone else, could have imagined the arrest was going to become nationwide, front-page news.

Third, there's a video of Gates using the N-word all over the Internet, and in that short, three-minute video, Gates uses the phrase "your mama."

The only contrary evidence is that Gates recently denied that he told the cop he'd "speak with your mama outside." He also desperately wants to drop the subject.

The Left's last-ditch attempt to defend a powerful black man's attack on a powerless white man is to say the arrest was improper. In Time magazine, Lawrence O'Donnell factually announced, "Yelling does not meet the definition of disorderly conduct in Massachusetts."

You can argue the facts in court, but there's no question that the police report described the misdemeanor offense of "disorderly conduct" under Massachusetts law, which includes engaging in "tumultuous behavior" in "any neighborhood," thereby causing public "inconvenience, annoyance or alarm."

As everyone who's read the police report knows, Gates is described as going on an extended tirade against the officer, calling him a racist, saying the officer didn't know who he was messing with, acting irrationally, following the officer outside to continue haranguing him, and engaging in "tumultuous behavior" in and outside his house, drawing a small crowd of alarmed onlookers and police.

Suppose a cop didn't arrest a guy who was ranting and raving – in his own home – and, an hour later, the hothead assaults someone. Policeman: I was as surprised as anyone that he shot his girlfriend! Every liberal in the country would demand the cop's head.

And by the way, try screaming at a judge that he's a racist and see what happens. Why should police officers deserve less protection than judges? They're in more danger.

The disorderly conduct charge was not dropped because it wasn't a good arrest. It was dropped, according to Gates' own lawyer, because of Gates' connections.

Before liberals declare that this a case of racial profiling and move on, how about liberals produce one provable example of racial profiling that isn't a hoax?

As hard as it is for me to admit to (seeing how I've felt about Coulter for so many years)…I'm beginning to like her writing.

Whale of a good story!

Whale Saves Drowning Diver, Pulls Her to Surface

Wednesday, July 29, 2009 (The Sun)

A beluga whale saved a drowning diver by hoisting her to the surface, carrying her leg in its mouth.

Terrified Yang Yun thought she was going to die when her legs were paralyzed by crippling cramps in arctic temperatures. Competitors had to sink to the bottom of an aquarium's 20-foot arctic pool and stay there for as long as possible with the beluga whales at Polar Land in Harbin, north east China.

But when Yun, 26, tried to head to the surface she struggled to move her legs.

"I began to choke and sank even lower and I thought that was it for me - I was dead. Until I felt this incredible force under me driving me to the surface," Yun said.

Beluga whale Mila had spotted her difficulties and using her sensitive dolphin-like nose guided Yun safely to the surface.

Principal firing Christians at Dearborn school

Legendary Christian coach canned after student converts
Muslim principal allegedly irate that wrestler left Islam to be baptized

Posted: July 27, 2009 11:41 pm Eastern

© 2009 WorldNetDaily

A high school hall-of-fame and Christian wrestling coach in Dearborn, Mich., claims he was muscled out of his long-tenured coaching job by the school's principal, a devout Muslim, because the administrator was furious over a student wrestler who had converted to Christianity from Islam.

Gerald Marsazalek has coached wrestling for 35 years at Dearborn Public Schools, amassing more than 450 wins and, in addition to being added to the Michigan High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame, was named "Sportsman of the Year" by the All-American Athletic Association.

Despite Marsazalek's success, however, Principal Imad Fadlallah of Dearborn's Fordson High School ordered the administration not to renew the coach's contract, allegedly in retaliation over the student's conversion and to continue a campaign of flushing Christianity out of the school.

"We are getting a glimpse of what happens when Muslims who refuse to accept American values and principles gain political power in an American community," said Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, which is representing Marsazalek. "Failure to renew coach Marszalek's contract had nothing to do with wrestling and everything to do with religion."

Marsazalek is suing both the principal and the school in the U.S. District Court of Eastern Michigan, seeking back pay, injunctive and declaratory relief, damages, and to be reinstated as coach of the wrestling team.

According to lawsuit documents, Principal Fadlallah's retribution against the Christian coaches serving Fordson High began in 2005, after Marsazalek's volunteer assistant coach, Trey Hancock, led a non-school sanctioned and independent summer wrestling camp. Hancock, who is also pastor of the Dearborn Assembly of God and parent to one of the wrestlers, reportedly shared his beliefs at the camp and baptized a Muslim Fordson student into the Christian faith.

That fall, Fadlallah fired Hancock and ordered the volunteer coach not to have further contact with the student wrestlers.

"Subsequently, in full view of students and faculty," the lawsuit states, "Fadlallah approached the young Fordson student who had chosen to be baptized a Christian at Hancock's summer wrestling camp, punched the student
and advised the student he had 'disgraced his family' by converting to Christianity from Islam."

According to a statement from the Thomas More Law Center, Dearborn is one of the most densely populated Muslim communities in the United States. An estimated 30,000 of its 98,000 residents are Muslims, and roughly 80 percent of the student population of Fordson High School is Arabic, many of whom are also Muslims.

Furthermore, the lawsuit alleges, Fadlallah then banned Hancock from entering the school, ordered Marszalek to "keep Hancock out of the building" and even banned the Hancock family from helping out at school concession stands, even though Hancock's son was an All-State wrestler on Fordson's team.

On or about Thanksgiving Day 2007, Hancock came to the school to register his son for an activity, an offense against Fadlallah's orders, the lawsuit claims, which led to a vocal confrontation between the principal and Marszalek, who was allegedly accused of failing to enforce Hancock's banishment.

When the 2007-2008 wrestling season concluded, the lawsuit states, Fadlallah instructed the school's athletic director to be rid of Marszalek too, by refusing to even process the Christian's yearly renewal application for the coaching position, saying, "Gone. I want him gone. No appeal."

Another assistant coach, who had made no application for the head coaching position, was chosen by the school to take Marszalek's place.

According to the lawsuit, however, Marszalek's treatment by Fadlallah isn't isolated, but part of an intentional eradication of Christianity from the school.

"Fadlallah, since assuming duties as Fordsons' principal in 2005, has systematically weeded out Christian teachers, coaches and employees and has terminated, demoted or reassigned them because of their Christian beliefs," the lawsuit continues. "Fadlallah has publicly stated 'he sees Dearborn Fordson High School as a Muslim school, both in students and faculty, and is working to that end.'"

David Mustonen, a spokesman for Dearborn Public Schools, told the Detroit Free Press earlier today that the district had not yet seen the lawsuit and would therefore have to review it before making any comment.

Vick reinstated ‘conditionally’…

The NFL has conditionally reinstated Michael Vick to play professional football once again. Much is being made of his statements of change and accepting responsibility for his life, and a desire to become a role model. If he truly wants to show full acceptance of his responsibility for his actions he could begin by not referring to the crimes he committed as "terrible mistakes", and call them what they truly were "terrible choices".

I am not in a position to decide just how much his heart has or hasn't changed in the last two years – I don't know the man. I will say that I do not believe that he should be so readily or easily accepted back into the NFL. Many will say that smacks of unforgiveness on my part, but I would disagree. One can be forgiven, and one can be 'restored' in life, that does not mean that the person is always - sometimes ever - able to return to having the exact life and position they held before they threw their lives away.

In fact, it should not always be what happens. When a pastor of a church is found to be having adulterous relations, or to be embezzling funds, or a number of other sinful activities, we should hope that they repent, make amends, and are restored to a right relationship with Christ, and with their families and friends; but many of these instances should stop them from ever being placed behind a pulpit as a shepherd again.

That isn't to say that pastors must be sinless, we know they cannot be so any more than we can, but, they are in a very special position among God's workers, and as such, there are sins grievous enough that should forbid their return to such a place in ministry ever again. If they truly repent to God, and give themselves over to Him and His desires for their lives, Jesus will definitely use them for the glory of the Kingdom in the future…just not in the same capacity.

If we look at the scriptures, we will be reminded that Moses was not allowed to enter the Promised Land as a result of his failings – forgiveness is available to us in our glorious and merciful God, but our actions still have consequences. The more elevated or esteemed a position we hold in life, the more dire those may be. This principle should hold true with policemen, judges, mayors, etc as well as with pastors of God's people.

I believe that should be the case with professional athletes as well. I believe that Michael Vick can have a long and successful life that sees him become a role model to others – I hope that he will do so – I just don't think he should be allowed to seek his future goals in the NFL.

Can’t Obama hang with anyone normal?

First we were handed John Holdren as Director of the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy – or more simply, as Science czar. Who better for President Obama to choose to head such an important function in the administration than a man who believes that "To provide a high quality of life for all, there must be fewer people".

He promoted how best to achieve this "goal" in the 1977 book: "Ecoscience: Population, Resources, Environment" which he wrote with two other environmental quacktivists (pat pending!), Paul & Anne Ehrlich.

In it they openly advocate among other measures:

• Forced abortions
  
• Implantation of sterilizing capsules in people at puberty
  
• Putting sterilizing agents in the water supplies and in foods
  

These types of things could be implemented globally by their proposed "Planetary Regime" which would be enforced by an "armed international organization". As per usual with anything associated with Obama and his cronies, they dismiss it out-of-hand as being lies and misrepresentation even when others present physical evidence proving their claim – such as actual copies of the book that made these statements.

And now, President Obama has named another quackpot, legal scholar Carl Sunstein, to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. This "scholar" stated in an article in 2002 that "animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives."

Get it? According to this nutjob, animals (livestock, pets, wild animals, et al) should be given the legal right to file lawsuits in our court systems, with human beings serving as their representatives.

Now I have been a full-on vegetarian (not vegan) for well over 8 years now; in that time I have eaten no meat, and I do not intend to for the remainder of my life. I fully support the ending of a number of abhorrent practices that are done to animals within labs, on farms, and in people's homes. But…this guy is a flipping NUT!

I shouldn't wonder that he is so cuckoo for Coco-Puffs I suppose given that he is an avid follower of bioethics professor Peter Singer who thinks that abortion is morally acceptable because he believes that unborn babies are not conscious and "cannot feel pain or satisfaction". In fact, Singer believes that the life of a retarded human child is unquestionably worth less than that of a dog. Anyone who knows me knows how much I love animals, but would I ever say that a Chihuahua's life was worth more than my baby daughter? Get real!!

Senator Chambliss of Georgia had blocked the nomination previously over concerns, and it has now been put on hold again by Texas Senator John Cornyn who said that he is not convinced that Sunstein won't push a radical animal rights agenda.

Considering how everything else has gone for this administration thus far, I think there is little hope that this Post-toasted professor's nomination will not eventually go through.

As the names, people and places continue to pile up in and around him, one must ask: does President Obama even know anyone anywhere who is not a fruit loop, a radical, a criminal, or some blended version of the three?

Facebook funnies…

I'm quoting this from a Facebook post about 8am (CST) this morning…

Michael A. Vickers  "If there's a blue pill and a red pill, and the blue pill is half the price of the red pill and works just as well, why not pay half price for the thing that's going to make you well?" -- President Barack Obama (7/22/2009)

Mr. President, please take the red pill.

LOL! Nice job Mike!

Pitt-y the fool…

Being interviewed recently in the German magazine BILD, Brad Pitt had this exchange with the interviewer…

BILD: Do you believe in God?

Brad Pitt (smiling): No, no, no!

BILD: Is your soul spiritual?

Brad Pitt: No, no, no! I'm probably 20 per cent atheist and 80 per cent agnostic. I don't think anyone really knows. You'll either find out or not when you get there, until then there's no point thinking about it.

How exactly "No, no, no!" equates with being only "20% atheist" isn't explained by Brad, who goes on to repeat that little mantra again when asked if his soul is spiritual. Now, it may be matter translation from German thought to English thought, but if one says they do not believe that that there is a God, why would you think they believe in the existence of the soul – which apart from God has no meaning – and that this useless soul would/could choose to be "spiritual" ?

But should that little quagmire of neo-philosophical swill not be enough to slake your hunger for ignorant nonsensical new-agey baloney, Mr. Pitt then regales the reader with his deepest thoughts on the meaning of life:

After saying "I don't think anyone really knows.", he goes on in the next sentence to illustrate that what he really means in the first sentence is only the first half of the sentence 'I Don't Think'. How else to explain such a pathetic statement as he next makes? The first half of the sentence is just plain ignorant, and the second half makes the entire thing downright stupid. There's no point in thinking about it before you die?

Is there no point in testing a car's brakes before you floor the gas pedal and race headlong towards a steep cliff?

Is there no point in checking the chamber of a pistol before putting your eye to the barrel and pulling the trigger?

Is there no point in checking for onions and carrots before entering a cannibal's hottub?

Someone needs to tell Mr. Pitt that the only opportunity that one has to ponder the meaning of life is while one is actually among the living – after that…

Officer won’t apologize – President lips off ‘stupidly’

Officer says he'll 'never apologize' for Harvard professor arrest

(CNN) -- A Cambridge, Massachusetts, police officer said Thursday he will "never apologize" about how he handled the arrest of prominent black Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.

Sgt. Jim Crowley said he has nothing to apologize for in regards to the arrest of Henry Louis Gates Jr.

[And with the reported facts of this idiotic media-pumped mess, I not only agree that he should not apologize, and that he has nothing to apologize for, but I applaud him for taking the stance he is taking in refusing to surrender his integrity.]

"That apology will never come from me as Jim Crowley, it won't come from me as sergeant in the Cambridge Police Department," Sgt. James Crowley told Boston radio station WEEI. "Whatever anybody else chooses to do in the name of the city of Cambridge or the Cambridge Police Department which are beyond my control, I don't worry about that. I know what I did was right. I have nothing to apologize for."

Crowley also said he was exercising caution and is clearly not a racist based on his previous actions.

[Caution is the key point. Any police officer who does not take the utmost caution in all his actions in today's society is begging to be killed. The false illusion of safety in modern society has long since been cast aside by anyone with a brain, and police officers have never had the benefit of that illusion anyway. To be a cop is to be target.]

Those actions, Crowley told the Boston Herald, include giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to former Boston Celtics star Reggie Lewis, who suffered a fatal heart attack in 1993 at Brandeis University when Crowley was a campus cop.

"I wasn't working on Reggie Lewis the basketball star. I wasn't working on a black man," Crowley told the Boston Herald. "I was working on another human being."

[Now someone will point their fingers because he said "black man".]

Gates was arrested last week at his home after a confrontation with Crowley. Cambridge authorities on Tuesday dropped disorderly conduct charges against Gates.

Crowley also told WEEI that when he asked Gates to come out of his home, he thought a break-in had occurred or was still happening.

"I didn't know who [Gates] was. I was by myself. I was the only police officer standing there, and I got a report of people breaking into a house," Crowley told WEEI. "That was for my safety first and foremost. I have to go home at night, I have three beautiful children and a wife who depend on me. So I had no other motive than to ensure my safety."

[Exactly. To presume who anyone was or wasn't at that point would have been foolish and dangerous. For gates to have acted the way he did from the get-go was downright foolhardy. I don't care who you are, what color you are, or where you are, when a man with a gun asks for ID, give it to him. And even more so, act like a calm reasonable adult – anything else could get you shot out of nervous reaction alone.]

Responding to a reporter's question on Gates' arrest, President Obama said Wednesday night that the Cambridge police "acted stupidly."

[President Obama is demonstrating how to act stupidly by weighing in on this situation at all – no matter if asked by the press or not. At most he should have said, "I don't know what happened or why anymore than anyone else in this room – and it is not the place of this office to interject itself into local matters where it has no business."]

Obama defended Gates while admitting that he may be "a little biased" because the professor is his friend.

[A little biased? No Mr. President you are never "a little" anything. You're not a little biased, a little arrogant, a little pompous, a little full of yourself, a little untrustworthy, a little racist, a little bigoted, a little elitist, a little Marxist, a little Socialist, a little vapid and lacking in depth of character….]

"But I think it's fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry; No. 2, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, No. 3 ... that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately."

[(1) He wasn't arrested for not being rightfully in the home, he was arrested for disorderly conduct after "who was who" had been settled. Not like I expect you to take the time to actually determine the facts of anything in this – you certainly don't bother letting facts get in the way of your dismantling of our nation. And no one was ever pulled over for being Asian, or Indian, or a white boy in the wrong neighborhood, or for looking poor in a suburb, or….right?]

The incident shows "how race remains a factor in this society," Obama said.

[Said the single most powerful man on the face of the planet.]

Crowley told WEEI that he was "disappointed" that Obama interjected himself into the situation.

"He's the president of the United States, and I support the president to a point," Crowley told WEEI. "I think it's disappointing that he waded into what should be a local issue and something that is -- really that plays out here. As he himself had said at the beginning of that press conference, he didn't know all the facts. He certainly doesn't based on those comments. I just think it was very disappointing."

[More polite about it than most people would have been in his position.]

Walter Cronkite RIP

Walter Cronkite, "the most trusted man in America," has died. He was 92 years old.

He was the first person referred to by the title "anchorman", and became so known for it that his own name eventually became the term used for the job in other parts of the world, like Holland where they are called Cronkiters.

Jeff Fager, executive producer of "60 Minutes said, "He was the most trusted man in America and he was a reporter. Imagine. Who could we say that about today?"

Sad as it is to say, no one Jeff, no one at all.

President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost middle America." Friday the 17^th of July, 2009, all of America lost our old "Uncle Walter"; a sad day for us, but of course…that's the way it is.

LIFE: Imagine The Potential #3

With the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing yesterday, this is a wonderful advertisement to be running right now. I give my thanks to Brian Burch, Neil Armstrong, Dr. Joseph Kerwin and all the others Thank you to the astronauts who showed they still have the bravery to do what so many others (CNN, NBC, etc) haven't got the courage to do: Stand up for human life.

“Treaty” tells foreign armies who you are, and where you live…

Listen to this report closely. What this treaty will do is take the personal information (name, age, address, phone, social, etc) of every single person who has a legally owned and registered gun in the United States of America, and give all of that information to… foreign countries.

Do you want armed troops, soldiers, of ANY foreign country to know the name and personal information of everyone who owns a gun in OUR country, and not just their name, but also where they live and where they work.

Add in that the Census specialty teams have been pinpointing every door in the country for precise GPS coordinates to go along with the extensive and invasive questionnaires they intend to use during the Census polling next year, and you dang well ought to be getting more than a little edgy about all of this.

Lou Dobbs is exactly right, we're being screwed and it's predominantly our own dang fault for allowing/helping it to happen.

MoveOn needs Palin

Yesterday, MoveOn sent an email to their supporters criticizing Sarah Palin's Op-Ed piece in the Washington Post and begged for money to spend on a response. Well, today The Hill reports that in one day MoveOn has already raised over $120,000 (so of course they immediately upped the goal to $200,000). Looks as if they need Palin to fill their accounts for them.

If this doesn't speak to just how much Palin frightens all these folks, I don't know what does. What is it they really fear about her? They can't possibly believe that someone they claim is so ignorant could actually be a political threat in the next election can they? If she were actually that dumb no one would ever vote for her!

No, wait...these are the same people that voted Joe ("We got to spend our way out of bankruptcy") Biden into the Vice-President slot; so I guess it is possible (though not probable) that they think that, right?

Nahhhhhhh...

The Year I Was Born…

On February the 11^th, of the year I was born, the CIA (Counter Intelligence Agency) created its Domestic Operations Division in an effort to combat growing threats here in the United States from people and groups who sought to harm us while working within our own borders.

In recent times the CIA has found itself much maligned, and under near-constant attack from many of our elected officials in Washington D.C. While no one discounts that the agency has on occasion made some serious errors over the years, the hampering of the agency's ability to act, and the demoralization of its employees by members of our own government has had a definite and chilling effect on the overall safety of our citizenry.

Case in point: Hizb ut-Tahrir, an Islamic Supremacy group with ties to Al Qaeda, and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, among others, has operated quietly for decades in the U.S. as it hasn't been recognized officially by the State Department as a known terror group. Yesterday the group announced it will be holding an official conference in the United States for the first time ever. The conference is scheduled to be held at the ritzy Hilton Oak Lawn hotel in Chicago this Sunday, July 19^th. The title of the conference is:

"The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam"

I know that many will dismiss this writing as paranoia, or right-wing incitement speech, racial/religious intolerance, and so on. To those folks, I humbly quote the great American poet Robert Frost (who died January 29^th of 1963), from his poem 'Home Burial". In which he wrote:

"My words are nearly always an offence.

I don't know how to speak of anything

So as to please you. But I might be taught

I should suppose. I can't say I see how,"

11 and 12 year-old boys beheaded

SOMALIA - Sons of Christian Beheaded – Compass Direct News

Islamic extremists have beheaded two boys in Somalia because their Christian father, 55 year-old Musa Mohammed Yusuf, refused to give them information about an underground church leader, according to Compass Direct News. The extremists from the group al shabaab killed 11-year-old Abdi Rahaman Musa Yusuf and 12-year-old Hussein Musa Yusuf, after abducting them in front of their mother. The terrorists are currently looking for Yusuf in Kenyan refugee camps. Yusuf was a leader of an underground church in Yonday village, 19 miles from Kismayo, Somalia. On February 20, the extremists interrogated Yusuf about his relationship with Salat Mberwa, the Christian leader who discipled him in the faith and led an underground fellowship with 66 believers. When Yusuf told them he did not have any connection to him and knew nothing about him, they left and vowed to return the next day. Yusuf fled immediately and the next day the extremists killed his sons. Yusuf's wife and 7-year-old son have joined him in the refugee camp in Kenya where Mberwa and other believers are helping them. VOM encourages you to pray for Yusuf and his family as they have lost their sons. Pray God comforts them during this difficult time, and provides the family with other believers who can encourage them with scriptures and songs.

Fetuses found to have memories

They weigh less than 3 pounds, usually, and are perhaps 15 inches long. But they can remember.

The unborn have memories, according to medical researchers who used sound and vibration stimulation, combined with sonography, to reveal that the human fetus (unborn baby) displays short-term memory from at least 30 weeks gestation - or about two months before they are born.

"In addition, results indicated that 34-week-old fetuses (unborn babies) are able to store information and retrieve it four weeks later," said the research, which was released Wednesday.

[More than enough evidence of consciousness on the part of the unborn baby]

Scientists from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Maastricht University Medical Centre and the University Medical Centre St. Radboud, both in the Netherlands, based their findings on a study of 100 healthy pregnant women and their fetuses (unborn babies) with the help of some gentle but precise sensory stimulation.

On five occasions during the last eight weeks of their pregnancies, the women received a series of one-second buzzes on their bellies with a "fetal vibroacoustic stimulator," a hand-held diagnostic device used to gauge an unborn baby's heart rate and general well-being.

[I often see babies referred to as both a fetus and an unborn child in the same edition of newspapers. When it suits the story for tear-jerking "Woman and unborn baby stabbed to death" they call the child what it is, when it suits their political motivations and opinions "Woman chooses to terminate fetus…" they call it a fetus. So, it is a bit unusual to see it both ways in one article by the same writer as Ms. Harper does in this article more than once.]

The baby's responses - primarily eye, mouth and body movements - were closely monitored over the weeks with ultrasound imaging to gauge "fetal learning" patterns. The researchers found that the babies
acclimated themselves to the sounds and vibrations to the point that they no longer bothered to respond - a process known as "habituation."

"The stimulus is then accepted as 'safe' " by the babies, the study said.

The team also found that the tiny test subjects actually improved these skills as they grew older, with those who were 34- or 36-weeks old clearly showing that they had become familiar with the hum outside the womb.

"The fetus (unborn baby) 'remembers' the stimulus and the number of stimuli needed for the fetus (unborn baby) to habituate is then much smaller," the study said.

"It seems like every day we find out marvelous new things about the development of unborn children. We hope that this latest information helps people realize more clearly that the unborn are members of the human family with amazing capabilities and capacities like these built in from the moment of conception," said Randall K. O'Bannon, director of education and research for the National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund.

Calls to NARAL Pro-Choice America for comment on the implications of the research were not returned.

[Of course not.]

The Dutch medical team, meanwhile, said its findings could help obstetricians track the healthy development of unborn babies during pregnancy. The research was published in Child Development, a medical journal.

Scientists have been curious about fetal (unborn baby) responses to sound for decades.

The first real study of "habituation" occurred in 1925 when researchers discovered that fetuses (unborn babies) moved less when exposed to a beeping car horn. Since then, door buzzers and even electric toothbrushes have been used to help researchers understand the fetal environment - and the response of the unborn to such influences.

[So, for a minimum of 84 years medical research has KNOWN that unborn babies have conscious awareness. I doubt that you'll find that fact in any brochure from Planned Parenthood.]

Beeps and buzzes were not always the tools of choice.

In 2003, psychologists and obstetricians at Queen's University in Canada found a profound mother-baby link. In a study of 60 pregnant women, they found that the unborn babies preferred the voices of their own mothers - both before and after birth.

The heart rates of fetuses sped up when they heard their mother reading a poem, and slowed down when they heard a stranger's voice - evidence of "sustained attention, memory and learning by the fetus (unborn baby)," said Barbara Kisilevsky, a professor of nursing who led the research.

The Queen's group has also investigated fetal response to the father's voice, concluding that if men try a little pre-natal vocalizing to their offspring, the newborn will later recognize the father's voice.

[And if dads do their jobs properly, they will do all they can to help their growing offspring to recognize "The Father's" voice later.]

ECUSA wolf calls sheep wolves…

In her first opening address to the General Convention of The Episcopal Church in the United States, (the Most Rev) Katharine Jefferts Schori made it quite clear that the Episcopal denomination (ECUSA) which she now presides over as Bishop is in a huge crisis, and that the one thing that connects all of the parts together (according to her) is:

"The great Western heresy – that we can be saved as individuals, that any of us alone can be in right relationship with God".

She went on to say that the very idea that any one person can have a right relationship with God as an individual is built on "selfishness and self-centeredness".

Since being ordained into the priesthood in 1994, Schori has been an activist within the ECUSA for homosexuality - voting for the election of Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire, and pressing for the acceptance of same-sex marriage; Schori's time as Primate (since 2006) has seen a great deal of upheaval within the ECUSA and is seen by many as a major contributing factor to the recent splitting of the American Anglican Communion.

Since the House of Bishops and the House of Deputies just voted at the church's General Convention in California to overturn the 3-year ban on appointing openly gay bishops (passed by a wide margin), it should come as no great surprise that she would now decide to attack and deride a key doctrine of the Christian faith: personal salvation.

What she is currently saying about salvation requiring us all to be equally involved is nothing more than a re-wrapping of what Universal Reconciliation teaches and calls "corporate election".

This centuries old heresy which has been around since the 6^th century states that everyone who has ever lived will be saved with no exceptions – eventually including satan and his fallen angels as well. For Schori to begin openly espousing this garbage now is an excellent public marketing strategy for the ECUSA.

• Books that promote it have been on the bestseller lists for a few years now (see: "The Shack" among others),
  
• The number of Unitarian-Universalists has grown considerably in recent years.
  
• The return of such people as (former Trinity Broadcasting Network's) Rev. Carlton Pearson to the television spotlight recently walking hand in hand with popular new-age goop-peddler Deepak .
  
• The refusal of most Christian churches and organizations to confront false teaching at all, under the label of "unity".
  
• The embracing of false teachings by many denominations and evangelical churches, again as part of this false "unity".
  

Combined with the fact that the vast majority of people who profess to believe in Jesus Christ today have almost no depth at all in the doctrines and teachings of the faith, and worse still – a general refusal to study and learn…and wolves like Schori and the ECUSA will be eating leg of lamb for a long time to come.

At least until His Kingdom comes…

 

What really blows at Burger King Pt2

If you have any doubts at all about how the advertising machine that fills every medium of media with filth and perversion looks upon American society, look no further than the recent article "BK Will Forgo Sex in Exchange for Cheeseburger" by Emily Bryson York at the trade site Ad Age, published 7-10-2009 (http://adage.com/article?article_id=137860).

In it she describes how Burger King corporate has offered a trade-off to franchise owners regarding the pornographic (and even more recently: religiously insulting) advertisements that have been running around the world (see: What really blows at Burger King among other sources).

In essence, if franchise owners will agree to a low-priced menu item that may lose them a great deal of money, corporate will stop running sexually perverted ads, and ads that denigrate religious figures of different faith groups around the globe.

How sick is that?

In response to the article, and the proposed strong-arm tactics discussed in it, a reader named AL in New York had this to say:

By Al | NY, NY July 11, 2009 07:42:43 am:
having worked on BK at several different agencies (who hasn't?) it never fails to blow my mind that Crispin has been able to do such amazing work with such a neanderthal bunch of franchisees... the inmates have been running amok in that asylum forever.

Broken down...

Al is in the advertising game, and has worked on BK accounts many times. His statement that the work was while at several agencies implies either that he freelances or has trouble maintaining employment.

Al never stops being amazed at what he considers to be incredible work by Crispin on BK accounts - the "work" in question being BK's recent oral sex posters for the "Super 7 Incher" and others like it.

Al remains surprised that Crispin can keep doing this while working with such ignorant uncultured lowbrow types as the franchise owners who think that this filth is beyond the realm of reasonable, let alone 'good taste'.

So, Al illustrates that Madison Avenue advertising people truly think that this kind of filth is what Americans want and need to get them to buy anything: porn, perversion and deliberate offense. He also thinks that anyone who disagrees, who doesn't in fact think of this cesspool marketing as high art... is a mentally deficient ape-like creature.

Hmmm...anyone for Chinese food?

I find your lack of marmalade...disturbing

Should this be a joke? Yes. Is it? No. For a mere $55.00 (bucks) paid to George Lucas, you too can have the image of the Sith Lord burned into your toast each day. Sheesh.

YouTube Censoring Pro-Life Group Again!

Well YouTube has done it again. Wrongly deleted a video by Live Action Films. Last time their excuse was that it was a violation of “shock” video rules when the group posted a video using validated abortion images to prove that images seen on the Internet were real, and not fake as Planned Parenthood told people. What will be the excuse (LIE) this time?

But since you can no longer see the video by following the link I posted on the 2nd (PP: “We Can’t Say Anything”), I am going to repost the video here from another site (Blip.TV). You can also view these videos on the Live Action Film Website at www.liveaction.org and at Metacafe among others.




While I’m at it, I am also reposting the earlier video that YouTube deleted and gave the group a “strike” for posting in the first place.



Planned Parenthood Falsely Says Abortion Pictures Are "not Real"

Ginsburg Pro-racial Population Control

In an interview to be published in the New York Times Magazine this Sunday, the following exchange takes place between interviewer Emily Bazelon and the very liberal voting U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg…

Bazelon: Are you talking about the distances women have to travel because in parts of the country, abortion is essentially unavailable, because there are so few doctors and clinics that do the procedure? And also, the lack of Medicaid for abortions for poor women?

Ginsburg: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae – in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn't really want them. But when the court decided McRae, the case came out the other way. And then I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong.

In case you missed it, take another look at what she said…

Ginsburg: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae – in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don't want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn't really want them. But when the court decided McRae, the case came out the other way. And then I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong.

Do you see what she is saying? Ginsburg is saying that from 1973 when Roe v. Wade took place until Harris v. McRae in 1980, a period of seven years, she believed that the purpose of enacting Roe v. Wade was to impede minority population growth! She believed the reason the Supreme Court legalized abortion across the nation was so that we (the USA) wouldn't have too many minorities (blacks, etc), and that was okay as far as she was concerned!!

Before she appointed to the Supreme Court in 1993 by then-President Clinton she spent a great deal of her career as a judge advocating for equal citizenship status for women, as well as serving as General Counsel to the ACLU in the 70's; but by her own admission in this interview, she obviously didn't expect or want those rights to include black women and other minorities.

It's bad enough that this woman has been known to sleep at the bench and not be called to the carpet for it, but this….

Appalling.

Bono Bonehead?

For several years now, U2's Bono has very vocally held that he is committed to doing everything possible to "save the planet", and he and the band have long been held up as inspirational examples by many of the "green" groups around the world.

Well, according to the Belfast telegraph, it seems that Bono's true commitment to all things conservational may be at the very least, questionable. In an article dated July the 7^th, the Telegraph stated (among other things) that:

1. The carbon footprint left by the band on their current tour is "big enough to fly the band to Mars and back."
   
2. Measured in space terms, their emissions for the tour will total 65,000 tons of CO2.
   
3. By comparison, Maddona's 2006 world tour produced just 1,635 tons of CO2.
   

The figures were calculated by carbonfootprint.com who specialize in doing assessments of environmental damage; U2's PR agency did not respond to requests that asked if the band was buying carbon offsets to contribute to the damage of their tour emissions.

"My prayer is that we become better in looking after our planet." Bono said last year in Tokyo while campaigning against AIDS and poverty.

Lady of Justice is not blind…

"This may sound like heresy, but I believe the United States and a host of Western democracies are engaged in an unintended campaign to diminish the importance of marriage and fatherhood. By refusing to do everything we can to stem the rising rate of divorce and unwed childbearing, our country often isolates fathers (and sometimes mothers) from their children and their families."

The above quote is taken from a commentary posted on CNN.com/living by Leah Ward Sears, who was until this week the Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court. She has the distinction of being both the first woman, and the youngest person appointed to that court. She stepped down from the position she has held since 1992 to return to private practice.

Her perspective on the state of marriage and divorce is unique on a number of levels. Not only has she served as a Supreme Court Justice, but she is also a black woman who has herself been through a divorce. Her sobering commentary is well worth the few minutes it takes to read.

GOP praising Sanford

Tammy Bruce has written an article on the FOXFORUM "Opinion" page that nails pretty darn well what is happening in the GOP of late. How much all of this may have affected Palin's decision to resign as Governor of Alaska is as of now, unknown. The following quote gives you the direction of the article, but the full text is worth reading.

"For some reason, Meghan McCain, writing in The Daily Beast, seems to think adulterous politicians, like South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, should be forgiven and can still do a darn good job representing their constituents. Why? Because lying, cheating and betraying the ones closest to you should not at all be held against you nor should it make people presume you might betray complete strangers known as "constituents." While you use tax payer money to indulge in your cheating. And while it exposes you to blackmail and other sundry stuff. Not at all. No Sirree. Because, you see, marriage can be "complicated." Gee, I wonder where she gets these ideas?

Now to John McCain's other people who just can't seem to stop maligning Sarah Palin. A woman who was chosen by them, a woman who single-handedly made the John McCain campaign relevant and viable. And what do they do in return? Continue their own backstabbing jihad. Why? Maybe because she doesn't fit the scenario noted above by Meghan "Deep Thoughts" McCain? The more likely scenario, of course, is those in charge of the Worst Campaign in History want someone else to blame."

Attorney General admits law would protect only a select few…

In recent testimony before the Senate Judiciary, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder was presented with a question by Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala) that asked if a minister who gives a sermon that deals with homosexuality from a Biblical perspective, and is afterwards attacked by some homosexual or homosexual activist, would the proposed "hate crimes" law protect him. Holder's answer was "No."

Sessions assertions that the law would provide "special protections" for only certain people in the United States were confirmed by Holder who identifed, blacks, homosexuals among others as being the only people protected by the law if it passes.

When Rep. Steve King asked for an amendment that would specifically stop pedophiles from using the law to protect their activities, it was immediately and flatly refused by the Majority Democrats; this lead to the bill gaining the nickname of "The Pedophile Protection Act".

Holder repeatedly failed to cite any cases in recent years that have been "improperly prosecuted," when asked to do so by senators, and fumbled around on several questions, often falling back on "I don't know" as a answer.

Holder did admit that the recent case of a U. S. Soldier being murdered by a Muslim extremist outside a recruiting center was definitely a "hate" crime, but that our soldiers aren't one of the legally protected classes. He stated "What we're willing to do is elevate those crimes over this very intended hate crime."

So according to the U.S. Attorney General, someone using derogatory terms to refer to a homosexual would be committing and prosecuted for a greater crime than someone who murders another human being in cold blood.

Even though Holder himself admitted that "I don't think we can say there is a trend among the states or local jurisdictions for failing to go after these kinds of crimes."

Press Ignoring Facts About 5-yr-old Boys Rape

The story came out about this creeps arrest about a week ago in the mainstream press, but none of them reported on important facts noted in the article below.

WND MEDIA MATTERS
News agencies gagging 'gay' factor in boy's rape
Posted: July 01, 2009

Editor's note: The content of this story is graphic in nature and may be objectionable to some readers.

Frank Lombard

News coverage of a Duke University official accused of raping his adopted 5-year-old son and offering the child to someone else is apparently lacking what some say is a key piece of information: the fact the alleged perpetrator is a homosexual who lives with another "gay" man.

Frank Lombard, associate director of the Health Inequalities Program at the university's Center for Health Policy, was arrested last Wednesday in Raleigh, N.C., for attempting to induce someone to cross state lines to engage in sex with the child, who is black.

The arrest affidavit goes into graphic detail of Lombard's alleged actions, including alleged performance of oral sex with the child in front of a webcam, and sodomizing the boy with his finger and tongue. It also prominently cites the fact that Lombard is a homosexual living with another "gay" man.

In his online profile, Lombard reportedly describes himself as "perv dad for fun."

But days after the case broke, there have been few, if any, mentions in news stories that Lombard is part of a homosexual couple raising children.

In reports by the Associated Press, CNN and ABC News, for instance, the "gay" factor is never brought up.

A Lexis-Nexis news database search by WND using search terms "Frank Lombard" and "homosexual" or "gay" resulted in just four results, none of which were any major media.

Just today, Duke's campus newspaper, the Chronicle, finally mentioned the affidavit where it was stated, "he lived in Durham, North Carolina with his live-in homosexual partner."

An online comment in reaction to the ABC News story mentioned media hypocrisy with the high-profile case of Duke lacrosse players who were wrongly accused of a rape that never happened:

"The Duke lacrosse case was front page news everywhere, professors were signing statements of protest, another professor threatened to resign in protest when the students were readmitted to Duke when found innocent. Could it be the liberal media and professors are as afraid of the gay lobby as Obama is, since this could harm the gay adoption activists?"

Radio host Rush Limbaugh commented today on the apparent double standard, stating, "Did you hear there has been an actual rape at Duke University? An actual rape in Durham, North Carolina. It's not a phony one. Not a false charge. An actual rape. A guy sold his adopted 5-year-old son to a sex practitioner. A 5-year-old kid, yeah. There's a problem with this, too, because the guy is gay, a gay adoption.

"This is why you haven't heard about it. This does not fit the template. A false charge of rape at Duke when you had the poor, black, down-on-her-luck dancer and the rich, white, lacrosse players, oh, that fit the template. They were guilty before any evidence. This you haven't heard about because this doesn't fit the template here of what we're trying to accomplish."

The silence is reminiscent of the 1999 homosexual rape and murder of 13-year-old Jesse Dirkhising of Prairie Grove, Ark. Many news agencies across the nation ignored coverage.

Among those trying to shine the light on the homosexual aspect of the Lombard case is Mike Adams, a professor of criminology at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.

"I tried to contact Frank Lombard over the weekend to probe his expertise regarding the health benefits of raping small children," wrote Adams. "So far, he's declined to comment."

Lombard faces a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted.

20 years is nowhere near the punishment deserved by anyone who could commit such atrocities on a 5-year-old child - nowhere near enough!

Great case for revoking a liquor license…

Jim Stingl - In My Opinion

Tavern sets the bar low after woman's death

Posted: July 1, 2009 (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Online)

A guy gets drunk on beer, climbs on a motorcycle and his female passenger dies in a crash.

[Sadly, this is a typical day event in Wisconsin.]

His favorite tavern, Fatties on the Lake, plans a fund-raiser.

[You'd think this would be a good thing, but…]

For him. For Jay F. Taylor, the guy in jail facing drunken homicide charges.

[No Stingl is NOT kidding! How flippin' screwed up is this? Read on…]

And it's featuring free beer part of the day, though the flier makes no mention of safe rides home for everyone.

[If he had got drunk and shot her, would they be giving away 6-packs and ammo?]

Even by Wisconsin drinking standards, this is messed up. And it has enraged relatives of the victim, Crystal Daly.

"Why are they sponsoring drinking and driving?" wondered Kari Hartl of Milwaukee, Daly's cousin.

The prosecutor on the case, Kimberly Tenerelli, put it bluntly, making it clear she was speaking personally and not for her office.

"I would hope in that situation that a bar would be collecting money for the victim and the victim's family, and not the person who killed them," she said.

[Rather than hope in vain, how about scrounging through obscure Wisconsin law and finding a way to take the money away from him? In fact, that brings up a question…when someone gets killed by a serial killer, and they are convicted of doing it, they are legally barred from ever making a cent off anything to do with the crime(s)…so if he is convicted of killing her, could there not a be a way to take all those proceeds back from him? Just something for the prosecutor and family to mull over.]

Maybe the bar could skip the bikini motorcycle wash, too. And the bachelor auction might come off as insensitive, considering that it was Taylor's girlfriend who was killed. Taylor couldn't go to the party even if he made bail; the court ordered him to stay away from taverns.

[Remember, I did say, "How flippin' screwed up is this? Read on…" Bikini motorcycle wash! BACHELOR auction!!! Insensitive doesn't even begin to cover it! He doesn't care what the courts say; if he was out on bail, he'd be there getting liquored up and living it up! Think not? Read on…]

The crash happened May 24 on Highway 67 in southern Fond du Lac County. According to the criminal complaint, the borrowed motorcycle careened into a ditch and tossed both riders. Daly, 31, flew into a pole and died at the scene.

Taylor, 32, who also is charged with having no motorcycle license, was injured. His blood registered an alcohol level of 0.14, a little under twice the legal limit for driving. He has a 2004 OWI conviction in Milwaukee County.

[So, someone borrowed a guy with no bike license a bike (Wonder if it was someone at the bar given the nature of this whole story!), and a guy who has previous convictions for driving drunk. Aiding and abetting Ms. Prosecutor…?]

Even in his condition, Taylor understood that he faced dire consequences. The complaint says he told one of the cops that he might as well "shoot him right now and get it over with."

[….!]

But then there's this aggravating detail: After he was treated at the hospital, Taylor was accidentally freed rather than handed over to sheriff's deputies. When they caught up with him later, tests showed he had been drinking again, Tenerelli said.

[My how utterly and totally NON-shocking that is! Remember when I said he'd be boozing it up if he could? I didn't have to read this far to know that – it is the serial pattern of behavior of people like this in this area (Heck! In this country!) to continue on with their boozing as soon as they can get it in their hands. We've had people in Milwaukee get arrested (recently) for drunken driving TWICE IN ONE SINGLE DAY!!]

Taylor had a Campbellsport residence, but after his arrest, he changed it to a Bay View address where his family lives. Daly was going through a divorce and had moved out of her husband's place in Cudahy and into a West Allis apartment. They had no children.

[My heart goes out to her family, but I am thankful at least that there are no children having to deal with losing their mother like this.]

License records in Fond du Lac County show that Taylor was a bartender at Fatties on the Lake, near Campbellsport on Lake Bernice.

[Now why doesn't this surprise me?]

On the fliers it posted around that area, the bar says Taylor was in a "very bad and tragic bike accident" but doesn't mention his role in that crash or say exactly how the money will be used.

[Why? Afraid that at least a few of your customers might be repulsed if they knew the details surrounding this little "fund-raising" event? Y'know,.. those who have anything remotely resembling a conscience.]

The flier says he can't work or get insurance. "We hope that you will join us for some of the fun activities that we are going to hold to help our friend down this long, hard road ahead of him," it reads.

[Maybe if they have enough "fun", a few more of their customers will end up joining him on his "long, hard road". We can only hope that road ends up with a very long stay in prison.]

The party is on July 11, and the bar opens bright and early at 8 a.m. The person who answered the phone at Fatties quickly told me never to call again.

[Start pulling the taps, its 8 a.m., daylight's getting wasted!]

I wanted to ask if she understood the twisted irony of a beer-fueled tavern blowout to break the fall of a beer-fueled driver accused of causing a woman's death.

I'm not surprised she hung up on me. It's easier than explaining why an all-day drinkfest does anything but mock the terrible thing that's happened.

Call Jim Stingl at (414) 224-2017 or e-mail at jstingl@journalsentinel.com

[There is no explanation for this. They've already offered a pathetic and sickening enough excuse (in their minds) to warrant this grotesque behavior. I sincerely hope that when Mr. Stingl stated that he is charged with "homicide" that it is an accurate statement – it's high past time we begin charging all drunken drivers with attempted murder just for driving drunk, and with actual murder when someone dies because of it.]
