  • Lighten up folks! This was pretty cute. Could have been overly serious news where a bunch more people had their heads chopped off and bodies burned…which we have entirely enough of lately.

  • Koch Brothers Make Play for Media Empire

    It would be pretty awesome if they managed to snag a bunch of left leaning papers and other media outlets. The writers for these rags would all be competing for the few dwindling slots on the few remaining papers, cutting each others’ throats in the process. How interesting it will be to see how this rolls out…

  • (Part 3)
    All horrible. But the worst part is, the black population at large is not engaged. Children of color were systematically butchered, and women of color were systematically put at risk of life, and some died. And it appears that’s okay. You don’t hear an uproar, no backlash, no crying out about injustice. This is an inconvenient story for the next election cycle. The press takes the black vote so much for granted they know Black America will let this slide. They know that are still slaves here, and they seem content.

    They have allowed the press to tell them no reaction is what is expected, and they have complied.

  • (Part 2)
    Blatant racism was practiced within the clinic, where white patients were brought up the cleanest available stairway and escorted into the only clean office, and had medicine administered by the “doctor”, while women of color were hustled into the general waiting room, tended by trainees (at best), and had to abort six pound fetuses into toilets or had their spinal cords “snipped” with scissors. Nothing was done.

    The doctor himself accepted a race based separation of patients. The staff accepted a race based separation of patients. The medical community, the hospitals in the area that corrected his mistakes, and the investigators accepted his race based separation of patients.

    The media, read, the New York Times (1), the LA Times (1), the Chicago Tribune (2), most of the television media and magazines have few stories about the trial (hits searching for “Gosnell” next to name). (The Atlanta Journal-Constitution had a web search tool that brought up many, none of them their own.)

  • This “clinic” (that is an overly generous term for this house of horrors) operated for many years, run by a man that otherwise should have been a shining example of a black man who worked his way through medical school (I am presuming that) to become what appears to be a licensed physician, and he could have done great things for himself, his family, and his community. For some reason he chose, over time, to accept that he could make a lot more money by providing a “service” to desperate women at a reduced cost, and he would pocket the extra cash. Even worse, over many years, he cut virtually all costs, even getting untrained teenagers to have patients sign release forms they couldn’t read and to administer anesthetic and narcotics to women, some of whom couldn’t even speak English.

    Aside from the horrors of abortion, this was far worse. Babies that could have survived as premies killed with scissors, by the hundreds, mutilated and kept in bags, boxes, jars, stored in the refrigerator for God knows what reason. Women died…several. Many, many more suffered diseases like gonorrhea and chlamydia.

    City and state hospitals and government agencies learned of the problems, took reports, treated patients, filled out forms, conducted interviews with inspectors, witnesses and patients, and still did nothing. (cont.)

  • One ounce of gold has always been worth….one ounce of gold. The beauty of precious metals is they retain their value….while fiat currencies maintain their value, of zero. The only thing paper (or linen) currency is worth is what the other guy thinks it is worth. Metals have intrinsic value, industrial value, medical value, scientific value. Sure, you can stockpile rice and grains, medical supplies, etc.. but they are not as easily convertible and are hard to store, transport, and protect.

  • How about universal background checks that would allow those that pass to vote? Sounds like a reasonable trade off. No to checks for guns. Yes to checks for the ballot box.

    You know the Progressives would NEVER support that sort of logical background check, don’t you?

  • If your childen are attending public school, they already control what your kids are hearing, learning, and possibly believeing. Your children do not see pictures of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln next to the clock, they aren’t reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and they sure aren’t celebrating Christmas or Easter. Those days are over…until we reclaim the schools.

  • I have a Conservative fever, and the only cure is…more cowbell!

  • I like S. E. Cupp, but she is an athiest. She says so regularly. Athiests do not agree with many of the tenets of “organized religion”. But I have heard her defend religious freedoms. OK. Her choice.

    I am not the most religious person in the room, but I do hope Pope Francis I at least defends Christendom vigorously. Of late, most supposed religious leaders roll over and pretent to be turning the other cheek while Christians are burned alive in their churches.

    See http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1699181,00.html (from Kenya, 2008) and
    http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/25/world/africa/nigeria-christmas-attack (from Nigeria, 2012).

    Maybe Francis will stand on principle. However, he advocates “liberation theology” which is no less than Socialist practice in religious trappings.

    Let’s hope he shows us differently.
