The media is always writing and talking about the Tea Party violence, yet they never produce any verifiable evidence, just hearsay and rumor. At the same time we have, on film, incident after incident of violence coming from the Progressives. Why don't they report on this with the same sense of moral indignation that they present in the case of rumor and lies about the Tea Party? Or the beat down of Kenneth Gladney here in St. Louis by union thugs from SEIU? Or Bill rice, the 65 year old that had his finger bitten off by a supporter of the health care bill last September?
Why all the screaming about the Patriot Act under Bush yet nothing about Net Neutrality from Obama? Why was the war front page news with constantly updated body counts under Bush yet barely a mention is made now?
The Obama administration wants access to your cell phones and they want to use the signal to locate you. The Library of Congress is going to archive every tweet since sometime in 2006. The Senate is considering a bill that will require biometric ID cards for each American. Why? Where is the outcry? We aren't disengaging from the Middle East, we are about to go to war with Iran. Is that OK, you war protesting, hippie wannabe's?
All of you that screamed about the Bush administration and its abuses, WHERE ARE YOU!!
You are useful idiots, being used by the Marxists in the same way the Moral Majority was used by the Fascists.
Both sides, Republican and Democrat are out to get us. Quit playing their games. Look at these tools in Arizona, rioting for what? To protect criminals? All in the name of "social justice", that great and lofty god of the Progressive movement, child of Marxism and reason to enslave us.
Get out of this system and stop looking at life through the prisms constructed by the political parties. Start to think like Americans, not European Socialists. The freedom to win and the freedom to FAIL made this country what it is.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. As long as your actions don't hurt another, do as you please. Get government out of the way. Get rid of all entitlements and corporate welfare. Get rid of all laws and regulations at the federal level that aren't authorized by the Constitution, as it was written, not as some living document that can be bent to suit the needs of whoever is in power at the time.
Give us back our liberty; it isn't yours to take. Our rights come from God and we lend them to the government, at our pleasure and our discretion.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." Declaration of Independence
It is time to right this government and demand redress for our grievances. It is our right and our obligation."
Nothing below is meant to exonerate the Catholic Church or heap praise upon the Pope. It's meant to show that sexual abuse, contrary to the reporting in most media, is not limited to the Church. I also posted the article about the Pope to show that the Church is no longer in denial. Is it doing enough? I don't know and personally, I'd like to see more.
However, child abuse committed by anyone is terrible. This obsession with the Church is all well and good, but the press needs to cover this abuse wherever it occurs. If they don't a whole bunch of kids are going to continue to suffer; and part of the blame will rest squarely on the shoulders of the inquisitors in the media.
"The Boy Scouts of America call them "perversion files," internal documents used to track Scout leaders suspected of sexually abusing young boys.
A judge who had ordered the Scouts to release them received 1,247 files into evidence near the end of the day Friday — the third day of trial that began with a lawyer saying "you will be the first jury to see them." Fox News
"Welcome to a collection of news reports on ministers who have sexually abused children:
ALL Protestant denominations - 838 Ministers" Reformation.com
"Given the new tone Benedict had set, it was little surprise that in 2006, the Congregation for Bishops announced that a lightly modified version of the American norms for sexual abuse, including the "one-strike" policy, had been permanently approved. They were subsequently issued as "particular law" in the United States, making them binding on all American dioceses and eparchies (jurisdictions of the Eastern rite churches.)
Benedict's transformation into an apostle of "zero tolerance" has also been clear in press discussion in both Ireland and Germany. News reports indicate that the Vatican has supported local bishops in adopting tough policies along the lines of the American norms. That amounts to a remarkable reversal of fortune, given the ambivalence displayed in Rome not so long ago to the very same policies the papacy is now extolling as a global model.
Nowhere was Benedict's new tone on the sex abuse crisis clearer than during his April 2008 trip to the United States." National Catholic Reporter
As Catholics we know that our faith contains the fullness of truth. However, we've lost an awful lot of ground to the Protestants when it comes to proclaiming it. Like the Pharisees and Sadducees we follow the law (if we feel like it) but we don't live the faith.
"This past weekend I again had the opportunity to attend a local Pentecostal church, and my experience there may prove fruitful for others. This place is called the Brookfield Church of God. Its pastor is Rev. Timothy Cowan and its Choir Director Judy Carver. Both of these individuals deserve public recognition for the work they did this Sunday, I can only hope and pray that we Catholics follow suit in proclaiming the Gospel of repentance and conversion. Again, as I have repeatedly said here at this forum and elsewhere, if we Catholics with the fullness of grace and all seven of the Holy Sacraments don’t start practicing and preaching and teaching the Gospel, then God Almighty will raise up from the very stones themselves sons to Abraham to carry out His holy work. If Pentecostals can do this, then what excuse shall we have on Judgment Day?"
"Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that the antichrist was coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. Thus we know this is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of our number; if they had been, they would have remained with us. Their desertion shows that none of them was of our number. But you have the anointing that comes from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. I write to you not because you do not know the truth but because you do, and because every lie is alien to the truth."

“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”
John Quincy Adams
“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”
George Washington
“If once the people become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions.”
Thomas Jefferson
" I come from a state that raises corn and cotton and cockleburs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I am from Missouri. You have got to show me."
Willard Duncan Vandiver
"The issue is, to use a sporting metaphor, whether in the game of life the government shall captain the national team or shall act as referee."
