When discussing the law of attraction sometimes it’s sold as a Manna from Heaven concept that if one absolutely positively controls their thoughts only the sun will shine. The truth is bad things happen to all people even the fabulous and the successful. Kornack in expounding on the Science of Getting Rich has written about a concept called energy redirection. According to Kornack bad things will happen to good people and people engaged in the Law of Attraction must redirect their actions to deflect and compensate even over compensate for the bad. When people are faced with the loss of loved ones, insurmountable natural disasters and other incidents it may seem odd to tell people to redirect their energies even if it is the right path to take for the sooner energy is redirected the sooner one can continue to live a wholesome and positive life.
If one has any doubt that it can be done under even the most trying circumstances, one should look at the holocaust survivor Victor Frankl author of the book Mans Search for Meaning. Frankl writes about his experiences in a Nazi concentration Camp. One of the key lessons to be learned from Frankl that supports the concept of the Law of Attraction is that positive thinking in the most trying circumstances is enough to make amazing miracles happen. Frankl states that he believes he was a holocaust survivor because of his ability to redirect his thoughts and constantly focus on what his ideal life would be. He would actively see himself teaching classes before students in a university, he would imagine himself seeing and doing things outside of the concentration camp and amazingly he watched others marched to the gas chambers but never him. Frankl states in the book that he felt the main difference between holocaust survivors in his camp versus those who went to the gas chambers was their mind set or in current day terms their use of the law of attraction. Frankl gives an example of people who would set dates in their minds for when they would get out of the concentration camp, these individuals would be happy and upbeat saying I know we are going to be out by this date, they would stay safe and not be led to the gas chambers but inevitably when the date came and went and the individuals had given up they would be chosen to go to the gas chambers. Frankl implies that even in impossible conditions the thoughts of these individuals determined whether they would live or die. Frankl did survive the concentration camp to go and live the mental vision he developed inside the concentration camp.
Sometimes individuals find themselves in impossible conditions and must use the concept of transmutation or energy redirection. Victor Frankl has proven that energy redirection can be done successfully in even the most difficult of situations.
Barack Obama has brought International prestige and acclaim to the United States with the winning of the Nobel Peace prize. While the prize was shocking to many, if the citizens of United States would close their eyes and remember why they voted for him they would realize that he deserves and earned the Nobel Peace Prize. I can not say that I necessarily agree or even know clearly the rationale of the Nobel committee for awarding the Nobel Peace prize to Barack Obama but I can articulate why I think he deserves the prize.
Barack and Michelle Obama deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for first of all being able to transcend themselves. In a world that frequently says you can’t and in a country that had never had a President of color The Obama’s said “Yes We Can”. They said Yes We can and Did. Barack Obama did not come from a two parent home with Daddy throwing him up to the sky every night, Barack Obama even mentions that he comes from a home where people may have told him they were scared of black men because he was raised by his caucasian grandmother. President OBama’s history and his subsequent accomplishments are a beacon of light to every child around the world who experiences controversies and problems in their lives. The ability of Barack Obama to overcome himself and his environment is a world class accomplishment, Nobel Prize worthy because one of the hardest things for people to do is to overcome themselves. Many great thinkers have written about this Napoleon Hill, recitations of the words of Jesus and others.
Barack Obama deserves the Nobel Prize by helping to prove to the world that the United States is not full of racists who hate black people and that the notion that an American Dream is possible for all is a reality not a notion for whites only. In a sociology class I learned about the third generational theory that all European racial groups who come to the United States can meld into the fabric of the United States and eventually become white or plain American, whereas people of color Asians, Blacks, Latinos, were subsequently out of luck and could never really melt because of their race into an American characteristic. Barack Obama and the United State shattered this myth by voting for him as President by actually implementing the words of Martin Luther King “not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”. The various races of the United States gave Barack Obama a mandate. Barack Obama was not a president installed by force, given to the United States by some International Super Power he was democratically elected by the American people who said that we don’t care about race anymore just someone willing to work for our interests.
As for the significance of Barack Obama post election we the American People seriously hope that he will use the slogan YES WE CAN to solve our problems as well as take the attitude of YES WE CAN to the world and help solve their problems. As for what has gone wrong with the Presidency up to know, by and large Obama and the Democrats refuse to ignore the voices that did not elect them. The only way Obama can keep his promises is to ignore the voices of dissension and keep a straight path and fulfill his promise.
Clinton has just stated the U.S. wil not recognize the elected Government of Palestine. This is very disturbing Hammas is not going to back down, what is this saying? The U.S. will support a civil war in Palestine. This appears to me to be nonproductive saber rattling to me. The Obama administrations seems to be advocating more of a pro-israeli attititude than the Bush administration evr advocated. I don’t know maybe they paid her campaign debts off.
If the shoe fits wear it. Israel has behaved terribly towards the Palestinians, kicking them off their land, out of their houses, bombing and killing them and creating an extremely unstable situation for their lives and the lives of their children. In the least a dialogue should be had by the U.N. exploring the actions of Israel not just towards the Palestinians but towards Lebanon also.
Everyone understands that the Palestinians have shot over a few harmless missiles over the fence with a minimal loss of life but nothing justifies the mass murder of hundreds of people that occured late last year. I understand that the issues the U.N. wants to discuss are from before this year but surely the actions of Israel last year should be discussed and evaluated also. Is the administration refusing to attend this conference because of the high net-worth donors in the Jewish community. Even now some do not understand the Crucifixion of Christ, I personally do not understand the Crucifixion of the Palestinians. Hopefully the United States will not stand by and advocate the annihilation and genocide of the Palestinians.
You know I was sitting here thinking about Rush Limbaugh and his attitudes towards liberals and their efforts to in the least give lip service to helping American citizens in need and at most provide assistance and relief to United States Citizens of all income groups and I could not help meditating on Limbaughs profound misunderstanding of National and World Affairs.
The first thing that kept going through my head was the international food crisis that is factually sweeping the world and how smart our government has been to plan for the poor, for the poor are always among us and always will be among us. I also thought about the base of the Republican party blue collar religious individuals who are in desperate need of the programs and resources that the Democrats are proposing to help them. Rush’s solution that tax cuts will create jobs and resources for this blue collar base is frankly ludicrous. What Rush is failing to realize is that the world is increasinglya competitive world, an increasingly capitalist world, and captalists’ are playing on the international playing field not the National Playing field. The only way to attract capital and capitalists to any Nation or society is to have a skilled workforce . However according to several sources the quality of the United States Educational system is not competitive, is not even in the top ten of best educations in the world. According to U-wire:
Now Rush is so fond of the word capitalism, in an increasingly technological world surely a smart capatalist survival of the fittest corporation is not going to bring his capital to the United States for complex jobs when all sources show that this is not the best place to get smart capital. He’s going where the best capital is and it’s not the United States. This is what smart legislators and a president realize. If your human resources lack the skill to compete world wide, a smart government provides assistance so that they can eventually be able to compete.
Finally I don’t know who Rush represents surely he does not represent blue collar workers becaue there jobs have been gone for a long time and the job losses we are dealing with are the stragglers, surely Rush is not talking about the middle class becasue they are in need of help too. Is Rush Limbaugh representing the Very wealthy. Bill Gates has a foundation that provides food aide to hungry people all around the world and says that he’s grateful to public education and libraries for helping him to reach his full potential. Surely he’s not talking about Warren Buffet because he says he believes in helping also. I am a little confused as to who rush is representing. The only people he seems to be representing so far are the virulent racists who are so prejudice that they will work against their very own interests.
While yesterday Rush Limbaugh bragged on the fact theat he did not need a prompt to speak and could go on and on maybe Rush should do less talking and more studying the bible and world affairs. Below is a little bible lesson for Rush.
Man I got summer hating on me cause I’m hotter than the sun
Spring hating on me cause I ain’t neva sprung
Win-ter hating on me cause I’m colder than ya’ll
And I will neva I will neva I will neva FALL
I’m being hated by the season
So fuck ya’ll who hating for no reason
For the first time since maybe the constitution was written we have a President that actually cares about the people. We have a president that actually wants to make the United States “ideal” of Liberty and Justice for All, real. While I have wavered and waned on my support of Barack Obama during the election. Since he has been elected the only behavior I’ve seen from Barack Obama is a caring and concern for the American people that is unprecedented. The haters coming out of the woodwork have literally stunned me. I can honestly say that I was unaware of the hate that certain white people felt for blacks until Barack Obama was elected. I would have never dreamed that so many self proclaimed Republicans and Caucasians associated Blacks with watermelon and fried chicken.
The two incidents that I’ve heard about involved individuals on the government pay roll. This is really a cause for concern that in the first case, a mayor of a town sent an email with the following picture to his list:
The Mayor says the "President" Will Not have an Easter Egg Hunt But A Watermelon Hunt this Easter
stating there will not be an Easter Egg hunt this spring at the White House but a watermelon hunt. The second incident involved cops who stated on their face book pages that:
“the rose garden will be turned into the watermelon garden” that there will be a “KFC set up right in front of the white house”
The scary part about these comments is that these individuals interact with the public. We will never know how many people have not been hired, who’ve been falsely accused and arrested, and wronged just because of racists in the woodwork.
Meanwhile the conservative Republicans are meeting and they don’t have a clue why they lost the White House and a large number of congressional seats. This is really quite funny that they fail to realize that the reason they lost is because of their lack of concern and ignorance of the needs of ordinary people. Instead of utilizing a strategy of how can we show that we are concerned and how can we win in 2016. They are insulting the President of the United States. They are using the same tactics that caused them to lose the White House by close to double digits. “Pathetic” The only people who are fooled are the racists. WAKE UP REPUBLICANS!
(Republicans)
I been in and out the bank bitch
While ya’ll asshole niggas been on the same shit
I flush em and watch em go down the drain quick
Two words you neva hear WAYNE QUIT
Cause wayne win and they lose
I call them April babies cause they fools
And while they snooze we UP
I refuse to recognize the state of Israel. As I hear of people who have been displaced for sixty years, in extended concentration camps, their homes taken from them and their peace. I am not recognizing the Jewish state and no matter what happens it will never exist for me. The area the Jews inhabit will forever be Palestine to me.
The Jews have made an alter to the Holocaust. The United States acts as if this is a carte blanche to let them do anything they want to whomever they want. The “Jews” are going to war against the weakest people they can find weakend by their actions.
The Jews say thy will be going house to house to fight the Palestinians. Yes they are going house to house and killing everything and everybody in sight. They are first and foremost killing every male in sight. They are performing the type of genocide written about in the bible. However instead of killing every baby they may be killing everybody in sight. Evacuation and safe houses have turned into places where the Jews bomb. Therefore knocking out 40 to a hundred people at a time.
Little as it’s told this will be the second genocide in the Middle East in the twenty -first century. The United States committed genocide in Iraq and I am convinced when they went door to door fighting they killed a sizable number of individuals. However at least we were humane enough to protect the innocent. If the United States sent individuals to a safe house. It was safe. The Jews are literally killing everything in sight.
The caveat is no matter how many people the Jews kill it will not make them feel empowered. It will not erase the holocaust. The Jews have become the fourth Reich in Palestine.
The land known as Gaza is definitely a concentration camp with gates, no one can voluntarily get out or get in. The people are stuck. The people have no weapons. Sure they have used tunnels since the Jews have cut off their supplies but the tunnels are very public and according to a recent NPR broadcast, broadcast before the genocide began, the tunnels were used to get such benign things to the Palestinians as washing machines and food becuase the jews were starving the people. They could barely get bread let alone serious weapons. I have seen no evidence of weapons. The bombs that are being shot at the Jews harm no one. If this is all the Palestinians have a door to door fight is going to turn into a massacre of the Palestinians by Jews.
The one thing that will come out of this is the Jews will no longer be able to wave the Holocaust in people’s faces. They will not be able to say to Europe and the United States and Japan why didn’t you help us sooner eighty years ago because their hands will be filled with the blood of Palestinians therefore nullifying the significance of the holocaust and placing what happened to the Jews in the realm of human nature. People will say that though the Jews were victims of the holocaust they turned around and committed genocide against the Palestinians, they expelled the Palestinians from their homes and killed them and killed them, therefore I repeat putting the ability to commit genocide in the realm of human nature,in essence the holocaust now means nothing and does not deserve remembrance because the descendants of the victims committed genocide themselves.
In all of this the one thing I can’t understand is how does Saudi Arabia and Egypt just sit their weakly and allow these things to happen. They have weapons and can defend and help the Palestinians and judging by the Jews defiance to the U.N. If a Middle East country interceded in the conflict the world would support them. I suppose the Palestinians are feeling quite helpless right now. I suppose they feel that no one cares about them and that their lives are helpless and useless. They have tried to go about their lives and live but can not find peace and stability. Someone some country needs to help the Palestinian, the UN needs to send in Peace Keeping forces to help these individuals. The status quo can not stand. As Jews sleep soundly in their beds, little children innocent women and men are terrorized by people who took their land. The decision to wipe Palestine off the map and give their land to the Jews was a BIG mistake. An International group needs to right this wrong.
Every one is gritting their teeth and waiting for Obama to be sworn in in ten days however the unfortunate fact is the Palestinians may not have ten more days. The Jews may have killed them all by then.
As for the rest of the Middle East that’s watching and doing nothing. The blood of the Palestinians will forever rest on the hands of the Middle East This is worldwide. The world is watching. The Middle East is big and bold enough to come over to the United States and kill thousands of people in one swoop but they are too weak to protect their Palestinian brothers and openly go to war with the Jews. It’s less than ten days until Obama gets in, go to war with the Jews for ten days and when the new President of the United States is sworn in make peace. Some country must help the Palestinians out. The Middle East must unify to keep their brothers from being victims of genocide.
Hey Sarah since we are talking about who people are hanging with, let’s see who you’re palling around with.
Oh Sarah You’re palling around with adulterers. Everyone knows that prior to marrying Cindy McCain, John Mccain was married to another woman and he cheated on her terribly until finally he cheated on her with an attractive millionaire and decided to marry this one. It is also rumored that John Mccain even after he married Cindy did not change his cheating ways, it is widely rumored that he exchanged political favors for sex with a young blonde woman. I suppose what you don’t know is that it is widely believed that you were “the woman” Mccain chose to be VP because he’s gotten a sexual favor from you or he’s expecting a sexual favor from you. Enquiring minds want to know have you given up the cat yet? In case you were unaware that you were palling around with an adulterer you can read more about it here, here - this one states your base does care about adultery and would be less likely to vote for a candidate who had extramarital affairs- let’s see by your logic Obama knew that Ayres did what he did therefore he is what Ayres is let’s pull this further you know that McCain is an adulterer and therefore Sarah Palin is an adulterer and should not get the support of her base. You can also read more about McCain’s adultery here.
The message is:
Sarah Pallin is Palling Around with Adulterers.
Oh yeah who is is Palin palling around with, Oh she’s palling around with a drug addict. A Drug Addict no less. Cindy Mccain falsified prescriptions for her own charity and instead of handing them out to the charity she kept the drugs in a suitcase and swallowed them down whenever she felt like it. You can read about it here or here.
Ok what do we have here:
Saring Palin is Palling Around with A Drug Addict! A Drug Addict!
I thought Sarah Palin was a Christian in most protestant churches that I’ve been too. Drinking is a sin. Cing McCain is known as the Beer Queen. I wonder how many calamities have been caused by people drinking her beer, wife beatings, people killed in drunk driving accidents you get the point. Needless to say the Republican moral majority don’t care.
Sarah Palin is palling around with the Beer Queen, she’s promoting Sin!
Sarah is palling around with these types of people. Well let me tell you it’s not just a group of people. This is one couple. I wonder what her other friends are like. I don’t want to know.
Romney (FLDS) was running a close second to McCain but he suddenly out of the blue dropped out of the race. I personally want to know was he promised to be the vice-presidential nominee if he dropped out of the race? This question is looming harder and harder in my mind as I read that Mitt Romney will be filling in for John McCain at the Texas Republican Nominating Convention. According to the Houston Chronicle,
“Presumptive Republican nominee U.S. Sen. John McCain is passing on the Texas GOP convention next week, but he has announced that former presidential contender Mitt Romney will speak in his place. Romney is believed to be on McCain’s short list for vice president. “
We all know the enormous amount of money Romney spent in the Republican Race and then how he just suddenly dropped out. Maybe he saved his money so he could buy his way into the Vice Presidency. Finally though I am putting FLDS behind his name I honestly don’t have a problem with is being a Mormon, I may have problems that he came from a polygamous household and wonder if John McCain chooses Mitt Romney what this means to little girls getting their menstrual cycles early becoming the prey of men as old and older than John McCain. I caught Romney’s conservative speech on CSPAN and it sent chills down my spine as a woman. I’m sure in private what he had to say about black people would send chills down my spine also.
It is telling that Romney (FLDS) is speaking before the Texas State Republican Convention as a fill-in for Presumptive nominee John McCain at a time when the Texas State Supreme court is due to return 400 children to a Ranch teeming with child molesters and complacent and complacent adult women. As a former FLDS member appears on Nancy Grace almost daily talking about the abuses to women and children suffered by she and other women almost daily by FLDS. The Republican committee trots out FLDS to speak to one of the largest Republican delegations in the country. Finally Romney is around fifty but polygamy was outlawed by the Mormon church 100 years ago, therefore to have come from a polygamous household, Romney must be FLDS,
I am not objecting to a Mormon in the White House. I’ve been friends with Mormons who were just great people and I am really impressed with the Mormon Attorney General of Utah. He is not afraid to stand up for the rights of women and children. However, when I heard Romney speak I was so disappointed with his total self absorption and intolerance for anyone who did not believe the way he did. It was shocking considering we would have to get over his coming from a polygamous lifestyle. FLDS publicly espouses racism. If Mitt Romney becomes the Vice President of the United States it will set this country back centuries in terms of women’s and minority rights.
Finally if McCain chooses Romney he will definitely bring into question whether McCain is a pervert and is making visits to the FLDS ranch in his free time. We all are aware that Cindy McCain is a whopping twenty years younger than McCain. Who knows maybe he’s ripe for a twelve year old now.
“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says a federal prosecutor has been assigned to look for ways to help tackle the problems associated with polygamy in Southwestern states. In a letter sent Monday to Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff and Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard, Reid says the justice department can strengthen efforts to combat crime within polygamous groups. “
The Nevada Democrat says he’s also asked top state and federal law enforcement officers in his state to get involved.
Johnny Glines of KUTV is reporting that the Attorney General of Utah, the seat of Mormons has threatened FLDS with jail time if they bring their illegal activities to Utah. Flines Reports that the Attorney General has said the following:
In a live 2NEWS interview at 5 p.m., Shurtleff called Jessop a “liar” and threatened him saying, “we put Warren Jeffs in prison here, and as for the rest of them, we will too.”
“I’ve got a word for Willie Jessop, that lives in Utah, and is defending this, and says that it isn’t going on. He’s a liar,” said Shurtleff. “If you come here to Utah and think you can wed underage girls; you’ve got to think again.”
Furthermore, Jessop, one of the FLDSleaders says the nation is in agreement with their actions of marrying twelve year olds as revealed in pictures of another FLDS leader in an intimate picture with a yonggirl, and DNA tests may confirm that this leader has impregnated four girls when they were between the ages of twelve and fourteen. Jessop said the following: “Clearly the nation spoke tonight,” said Jessop. referring to the decision to return the children back to the FLDS ranch.
I am a registered voter and last year I helped to register over three hundred voters, while I am not allowed to discuss political issues while registering voters. I seriously doubt that the majority of the folk that I registered last year support spiritual marriages to young girls, incest, and rape. I believe the attorney general of Utah, they are liars.
It seems pretty clear to me that the residents of the Zion Ranch are as guilty as HELL as it relates to these young women. First of all if they were even on the Ranch when Warren Jeffs was separately and at different times marrying two twelves year olds, and two fourteen year olds they are guilty of a crime. According to Kovach and Johnson of the New York Times,
“Investigators said family marriage records seized in the April raid of the group’s compound, the Yearning for Zion ranchin Eldorado, Tex., suggested that the sect’s leader, Warren S. Jeffs, had “spiritually” wed at least four under-age girls, two of them 14 at the time, the other two 12. “
This seems pretty clear to me that if a whole commune sits back and allows one man to “connect” with four underage children then this is crime. The argument offered that parents and the courts can give permission for these marriages is bogus. He’s already married. Polygamy is illegal. So any other way he connects to these children is rape or statutory rape. Since the admitted living situation is communal living where on the ranch no child belongs to the parent the belong to the ranch, then when spiritual unions occur on the Ranch then they are all accessories to the crimes of molestation, and rape.
It has been reported that the men of the ranch go away and send money to the ranch for their child brides. If this is happening across states lines this is trafficking in children. This is clearly illegal under Federal statutes and I am seriously questioning in my mind whether FLDS receives money from men who want child brides, furthermore the very act of recruiting members who join and pay for a child bride is human trafficking to me. I don’t know what the supreme court of Texas calls it but it looks illegal if it’s not.
Finally, in the FLDS case I am heavily questioning the role of corruption in this case. I am also aware that the FLDS has threatened political officials with some sort of massive voter takeover with their 300 votes and to overthrow and run the local government out of town which it has been reported they’ve done in other places. Miguel Bustillo and Nicholas Riccardi of the Los Angelos Times write:
“The town also was abuzz over an anticipated mass voter registration by the FLDS. Hours after the court first ruled against the state, two members of the sect walked into the county clerk’s office and requested 300 voter registration forms, a potentially tide-turning number in a county with 1,800 voters.”
Everyone has the right to vote but when voting is used to intimidate a town because a commune is performing illegal acts. This is reprehensible. This is why the town, state, and Federal government must do their jobs in prosecuting these individuals for their acts against women and children.
There is still a big question mark on what the role of corrupt politicians, corrupt judges is. I seriously suspect that certain men in Texas are receiving money or child bride favors for protecting this prostitution/mistress ring. Furthermore, some media outlets are providing a platform for the FLDS which almost appears to be a commercial for this type of lifestyle. I even observed on commentator trying to put words in the mouth of a FLDS women he was interviewing when she was about to get caught in a lie. The lie was no members of the FLDS were not welfare recipients but he helped her clean up this lie. It was totally awful. I wonder if higher up in this media organization plan to take a trip to the Zion ranch soon or other FLDS locations and get a spiritual bride that their wife probably does not know about.
I have tried to avoid blogging about the Texas Polygamy case, the case where 400 children were taken from the FLDS ranch. I am far from the perfect parent, to emphasize this, let me inform you of what’s going on in my house these days.
My daughter is refusing to get her hair combed. Every time I touch it she screams and runs away. Well yesterday I had to take care of an urgent matter with a friend and I had to take my daughter and her uncombed hair out the house. I noticed upon her getting in the car that she had not put her shoes on, and I said a silent thanks to God that she would not try to get out of the car because she had no shoes. Well I was the one who ended up with egg on my face yesterday, as we were waiting for my friend to take care of her issue, my daughter hops to the front of the car and begs me to go into the very nice building that we are in front of. She has tied matching bath towels to the bottom of her feet and says she’s made herself some shoes. At this point I am afraid that she’s going to bolt for the door and run in the place in all of her nappy headed bath toweled feet glory. I say no honey and tell her your hair is not combed, and bath towels on your feet are not shoes. At this point I think it is a good time to mention that the lady at the local hair supply place has given my daughter the name of Flavette after Flavor Flav because after leaving Ross department store with a fluffy pink bathrobe one day, my daughter put it on, refused to take it off and walked around pompously, earning her the name of Flavette. I managed to keep her from running in the building but I knew when we were about to stop for gas that I would not be able to keep her out of the convenience store. She ran in. I tried to wait it out so I could pretend she did not belong to me, but she took too long and I became worried so I went into the gas station to check on her and saw her at the counter. I was very tempted to go to the back of the store and pretend that I had not seen her but relented and stood in line to pay for the gas and hoped that she would ignore me. She was having a discussion with the cashier and told him she did not have enough money. The man hollered did any one havethirty-four cents that they could give this little girl. I immediately piped up with she’s mine and refuses to get her hair combed, was told not to come in the store with bath towels on her feet and is not allowed to get anything. It must not have soaked in, a lady said I have 34 cents. I repeated myself. My daughter left the store with no candy, and when we finally did get home she asked me to comb her hair. In addition my daughter’s main goal in life is to be a movie star she was born on Clint Eastwood’s and Brooke Shield’s Birthday, which was sort of ironic because Clint is my former husbands favorite movie star and he was fanatical about Clint and football. Football season was what clinched the fact that we no longer wanted to be together. In any event, my daughter was born on Clint Eastwood’s birthday, May 31 and this makes her a Gemini. So you can get a clue of what I’m dealing with, the following celebrities are Geminis:Naomi Campbell, Angelina Jolie, Sir Laurence Olivier, Stevie Nicks, Henry Kissenger, Josephine Baker, Tupac Shakur, Pam Grier, Marilyn Monroe, John Rivers, Prince, Miles Davis, Austin Powers, Sandra Bernhard, Lisa Left Eye Lopes, Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown, Donald Trump, Johnny Dep, and Paula Abdhul, I think I ‘ve named enough names for you to understand why the attendant at the local gas station asks me every time she sees my daughter is she still bad, because my daughter in her younger days used to manage to lay out in the middle of the outdoor gas station screaming, hollering, and kicking if I did not buy her a treat. Yes in her younger days she was bad, picnics where I hoped to network were spent prying my screaming daughter away from the attractions, because well the picnic was over and the people were trying to pull down the kiddie attractions. In any event she is bad, she is a BADDDDDDDDDDDASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSlike the list of Geminis on the list above. Finally she is also a literal genius in math and language arts. She scores at the top of the percentiles.
I also hesitated to write about the FLDS because I am an awful housekeeper. I can’t get anyone to do anything in my household. Since our dishwasher decided to die I hand wash dishes, we have the circulon brand of pots, it’s the starter set but let me tell you circulon is much better than calphalon, I bought a calphalan muffin pan and baking sheet and after about four uses calphalan was no longer non-stick. I have had cirulon for about 6 months now and it’s still amazing. In any event we have the circulon starter set which has two sauce pans a little one and a big one. The other day I washed the larger sauce pan three times because every time I washed it my son would come and use it, it’s like he was waiting for me to wash the pan so he could mess it up. Finally I just gave up trying to cook what I was going to cook a twenty five cent box of macaroni and cheese with tuna and peas dumped in it with plenty of butter and pepper. I say all this to say I am a terrible house keeper. However my son is a good son, he is a sagittarius so he displays the male Sagittarius unique characteristic of ass kissing and being an ass-hole at the same time, in any event several famous male sagittarians are Brad Pitt, Donahue, John F. Kennedy Jr, Jay-Z, Bruce Leee, and Samuel Jackson.
I hope it is understood why I would hesitate to discuss the FLDS case. I have tried to ignore it but the final straw was seeing a photo on the Nancy Grace Show of their leader marrying and deeply kissing a girl that appeared to be no more than ten at their apparent wedding. I thought how disgusting I just knew that the Texas Supreme court was going to overturn a lower court decision to return the children back to the ranch; but they did not and are sending the children back to the ranch with the understanding that some limitations can be imposed and decisions can be made on a case by case basis. The problem for me is that Jetts is a deity to them and when your deity is shown molesting a child, this must follow that FLDS members have no problem molesting children since this is the man they worship, he’s on the wall of their compound. Children are therefore in an inherently dangerous situation by being there. This view is fully expored in this CNN Commentary by Sonny Hoskins.
Furthermore the Supreme Court ruling that prepubescent children can be returned to their families is just not in line with current law which states that child sex offenders can not be around children period. If they will molest an 11 year old with her period it’s also likely that they will molest a womanly looking seven year old. It is my strong opinion that the children should not be returned unless the women agree to move off of the ranch and not leave town and this is a condition I think the Supreme Court will uphold as a condition of their getting their children back.
My big question in this issue is”Where are the Feminists who say they work for women’s rights?”; Where is Gloria Allred, the big time Feminist? Are we only to see them when it involves an abortion issue, a woman hollering rape against a celebrity or a big name figure. For me personally this is a feminist issue, one that they should be financing, sending attorneys to and watching very closely. What happens with FLDS will affect all women and girls. It will also determine the direction our country is taking in regards to women’s rights. FDLS is fundamentally arguing that a woman does not have the right to her own body, her own Chasity and can be given to a man at any time. FDLS is arguing that women and girls are at the mercy of men and have no option and choices. Feminism will be a failure if feminists do not step in to make sure that young girls are protected and not left bare foot, pregnant, trapped and option-less in a world with so many possibilities. This is a case where people who call themselves feminists should descend on the state of Texas and provide financing to take this case to the U.S Supreme Court if nescessary. This case prevents far more of a threat to women then the right to an abortion. The FLDS case threatens every woman in so many fundamental ways, such as the right to even have a child belong to you, the right to property , the right to vote etc.
****According to the Chicago Tribune A state stutute can not be appealed to the U.S. Supreme court; I am sort of questioning this because some of the men putting the children in danger live beetween states, therefore making it a Federal issue; but I am not an expert.
The media is buzzing about McCains meeting with three perspective running mates and none of them are black. There are several Republican black hopefuls that could be added to the list the Lieutenant Governor of Maryland, and Condelleeza Rice (who says she’s not interested) to name two. McCain in not trying to give Americans no alternative but to break the racial barrier is failing to give himself a decided advantage over Barack Obama by allowing the American people to affirm to themselves that they are not voting for Barack Obama because he’s black but because he’s shown a decidedly unpatriotic streak that another black contender does not have, if MCcain can manage to find a black candidate that is articulate, well liked, and accomplished than he has a good chance of winning the general election. A large part of the electorate is looking to assuage their guilt because of discrimination and our history of slavery by voting for Obama. The media is exploiting the class issuse so strongly becuase they are telling certain people that in not voting for Barack Obama they have not transcended race and are not sophisticated enough to vote for a black man. If McCain can find a patriotic, Christian black running mate that can be juxtaposed with Obama this will be the key to winning the general election of 2008. A straight up failure to acknowledge that the United States is ready to make a symbolic gesture of a woman or a black will surely end up in McCain’s failure to be President. Barack Obama is extremely charismatic and is willing to ride out issues that would make a different man give up. As for putting up an Indian for Vice President, McCain ignores a lot of facts regarding the racial pecking order in this country. As for a Mormon, Romney grew up in a polygamist family and what’s going on with the FCLD in Texas or whatever they are called would strongly make Romney a sitting Duck for attacks. However as formally stated on this blog it can not be denied that Romney appears to be a racist as well as a male chauvinist pig and in this election cycle this might be what people who are looking to go the complete opposite way of progress ie. a black or a woman may wish to go, I seriously doubt they make up enough of a majority to discount the economic situation in this country and be a die hard racist. Some people who are hopeless would like to at least make a symbolic vote for a different social order to show that even though things may not change their vote has helped to change a little of the status quo . However the media has not been as hard on Romney and his background as the blogosphere may be. Finally Charlie Crisp, the most striking thing I’ve seen about Crisp is he has extremely striking good looks competitive in looks with how Obama looks on TV and he seems to have a personality that is as sunny as the Florida skys but the article I’ve just read in the New York Times indicates that he may be a little bit too Law and Order for the times we live in. “Don’t taze me bro” is literally my motto.
Here is the link to the New York Times article concerning partial birth abortion. Apparently it is now OK to dismember a baby in the womb as an abortion procedure in Virginia.
According to Reuters the Virginia Ban on abortion still makes the procedure known as extraction and dilation illegal which is the procedure where the baby is delivered vaginally and then killed. This is still illegal in Virginia. Reuters is stating that the law is designed to enable a women to still have an abortion during the second trimester without penalizing the woman having the abortion and the doctor giving it. In addition reuters is emphasizing the word procedure and implying that the supreme court decision banning partial birth abortion did not exactly apply to the third trimester but applied to the procedure of extraction and dilation. Personally there is serious word play going on in this decision. A doctor could give a woman medicine that will kill the fetus inside of her, then it will be dead and then it can be extracted. The Reuters reporter is obviously engaging in serious word play that the 4th circuit must have agreed to. In other words the 4th circuit is saying if you can kill a fetus in any other way besides delivering it or make it dead before it comes out of the womb then even the ninth month of delivery can be legally aborted. This is my take on the issue.
You know I am not a member of the religious right. I was raised Christian and my most vivid experiences with religion are in the rural Virginia community of my grandparents at vacation bible school and Sunday School. What I remember most is not bible verses are endless Gospel Songs, but what is most vivid in my mind about this rural Virginia Community and religious experience is that people were just good to each other, they were good to me and they taught me to be kind. My Grandparents had the type of house that I could consider a lighthouse, anyone in pain or in trouble could count on my grandparents and their children to be the helping hand. Likewise in Georgia our house has become the house that people “strangers” come to when they are in trouble, when they need food, when they are evicted, when they need money, when they need to use the phone, and one night when a man was mugged on the street next to mine a man said he knocked on over ten doors for help until he reached our house and we opened this door. As I said at this point in my life I am not particulalry religious, I am not a loyal church goer and may never become one but from my early experiences with goodness I have come to the conclusion that there is a circular nature of right and wrong and my moral code is basically what goes around comes around, if people are mean to you be good to them because it will all comes back to you. This is why I am against abortion, because literally for me it does not feel right, it feels evil. In order to ascertain if my feelings are shared by persons of different backgrounds I have had the “abortion” discussion with people of different backgrounds. I have spoken with muslims and hindus who believethe practice is horrible. The muslim woman I spoke to was especially vehement that Allah was against abortion. After speaking with a couple of folks I realized that my abhorrence to abortion was legitimate and probably is anti to most world religions in the world with the exception of a satanic cult.
Virginia has stroke down the ban on partial birth abortion. According to this Washington Post blog. Virginia has deified a Supreme Court decision banning late term abortion, which upheld the following and stated the following:
The federal law defines partial birth abortion as the following:
“An abortion in which the person performing the abortion, deliberately and intentionally vaginally delivers a living fetus until, in the case of a head-first presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the body of the mother, or, in the case of breech presentation, any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother, for the purpose of performing an overt act that the person knows will kill the partially delivered living fetus; and performs the overt act, other than completion of delivery, that kills the partially delivered living fetus. (18 U.S. Code 1531)”
The Washington Post has a past article that defines partial birth abortion as the following:
“It involves partly delivering the fetus and then crushing the skull to make removal easier. It is this procedure that Congress made a crime. Opponents say it is a form of infanticide, because the fetus could be viable at the time. It made doctors who perform such surgery subject to up to two years in prison.”
While the states may not prosecute a physician for performing a partial birth abortion. It is my assumption that if a physician performs this procedure they may not go to state prison but they will go to Federal prison because it is against Federal Law.
The presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife have raised funds and even sent out an “abortion letter” highlights of the letter discussing a procedure that makes up less than ten percent of overall abortions were that women need to have the right to partial birth abortion because, denying them such a right affirms societies right to pay women less, beat women and give them substandard all around the world. You know Catholics are against ll forms of abortion but their good works all around the world are legendary. Barack Obama in this run for president does not even support Universal Health Care for all women, does not support lowering the gas tax for families and women so they can support themselves and their families. At this point in the fame it has not become clear what the motives are for supporting partial birth abortion so ardently, is it because it’s 1. a procedure Barack Obama has paid for in the past or 2) A procedure that Michelle Obama hs had in the past and needs to keep legal to assuage her guilt and the 10% of the 90% of individuals (abortion ladies as Anne Coulter calls them) that have participated in the procedure or 3) Is it a political tactic to show how loyal they are to what Anne Coulter calls the Church of Liberalism. I have no idea why Obama supports these people or this cause but the Virginia defieance of the Supreme Court Decision and Federal Law lets me know that a snowball will live in flames before I ever vote for Barack Obama and if things continue as they are Hillary either.
Finally in my disgust let me tell you what really goes through my mind about liberals. I think the price of gas is do high because the liberals are plotting to save the environment and want to reduce emissions so they have jacked the price up so hat only folks with shiny new low emissions cars can drive for leisure. I watched moveon accuse George Bush of blowing up the world trade center. However, Barack Obama is open friends with liberals who have admitted to plotting to blowing up buildings. In essence I believe that the liberals could have engineered this whole horrible economic catastrophe we are going through so they can get elected.
After considering the blog I wrote several days ago concerning U.S. policy towards the Middle East and linking to a New York Times article that stated the Saudis blamed the Iranians for pre 911 terrorist attacks on the U.S. I really had to reconsider how Innocent the Saudi Arabians are in terms of terrorist attacks and how guilty the Iranians are. Personally it’s pretty strange that practically every terrorist attack all around the world involves a Saudi citizen, whereas almost none of these attacks involve Iranian citizens. The lesson for me is that the Saudis most be teaching a systematic hate of the United States where evidently the Iranians are not giving the United States a thought and are busy trying to contribute to the International Economy. I am not a Middle East Scholar so I may have to read a lot more to understand the issue, but at first glance the problem appears to be the Saudi’s maybe the United States needs to slow down a lot on Saudi Arms sales and consider talking to the Iranians more for it seems like their priorities and their culture in terms of getting ahead and what’s important might be a lot more compatible than what the Saudi society espouses. I do know that the Iranians have a more liberal policy towards the rights of women than the Saudis. Furthermore as evidenced by this American language news site linked to above from Iran, gone are the days when Iran will declare Jihad against someone who insults their culture and society. In addition their Prime Minister has gone over and above the call of duty to initiate peace between the U.S. If I were an American diplomat, before I ever held hands with another Saudi Prince I would definitely try to make peace with Iran. Then again maybe I just don’t know the whole story, but Iran is obviously not a society where people are obsessed with getting their thirteen virgins in heaven which makes me think that if they were to get the Nuclear bomb, they would play the nuclear arms game like everyone else.
