Senator Burris’ Conflict with the Constitution
Democratic Party hack Roland Burris, (D-Il) who got his job as a United States senator as a result of disgraced governor Blago’s greed and because of the color of his skin, made a profound observation on Obamacare’s mandated health insurance.
Sen. Burris, a constitutional ignoramus, “pointed to the part of the Constitution that he says authorizes the federal government ‘to provide for the health, welfare and the defense of the country.’ “
Advised in an October 21st interview with CNS that the word “health” appears nowhere in the Constitution, Bumbling Burris, an over-achiever if there ever was one, blustered, “That’s under the Constitution. We’re not even dealing with any constitutionality here.”
Excuse me?
Burris then rambled on about private options, yada, yada, yada, and resorted to the Democrat default position by dredging up a number constantly in flux: ”We’ve got the 48 million people who are without it. [health insurance]”
Disregarding the fact that his number is baloney . . .

Tea-Bagging Anderson Cooper Outed?
Tea-Bagging Anderson Cooper Outed?
Who the hell would name a kid “Anderson,” aside from an artist and heir to the Vandebilt fortune?
Anderson Hays Cooper began life as a child model, presumably not because his mom, Gloria Vanderbilt, needed the bucks. His 23 year old brother, Carter, took a flying leap to his death from the family’s NYC penthouse but Andy eventually blossomed into the anchorman of CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360.”
His show title was quite apt since I’ve always thought Andy was more than a tad light in the loafers and more than a few degrees off compass.
Now Anderson and the truth have been outed, sort of, though Mr. Cooper has yet to admit that he swings the gay way. The Blog Universe has been clamoring for him to confirm the many rumors: http://bit.ly/lBggd
As Seinfeld said, “Not that there’s anything wrong with that,” except that there’s a load wrong with that when it comes to a CNN anchor who, the public usually assumes, maintains a modicum of objectivity.
Andy Cooper proved that assumption wrong when back in April he let slip a slab of gay jargon on “teabaggers” in his attempt to demean the anti-Obama, anti-tax TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party Movement. Specifically, he quipped, “It’s hard to talk when you’re tea-bagging:” http://bit.ly/W0Np
Andy must have been day-dreaming of his hidden life when he said it.
For the unitiated normals out there, “tea-bagging” has nothing . . .

Maine, SEIU, and Bob Casey
Noteworthy News Items: Maine, SEIU, Bob Casey
The great state of Maine made a collective decision on Tuesday to buck the trend of its New England neighbors and to effectively make an announcement to its resident and non-resident homosexuals.
The Pine Tree State announced that it doesn’t necessarily condemn their lifestyle but it emphatically rejects their agitation for state-approval of what Christians call Holy Matrimony.
The vote to overturn the state legislature’s bid to extend Maine’s imprimatur to gay marriage stood at 53-47% at last count adding Maine to the 30 other states which have voted against same-sex weddings.
By judicial fiat, in five New England states plus Iowa such marriages have been legalized.
That vote is only relatively newsworthy compared to the reactions of one prominent homosexual.
According to the Bangor, ME Daily News, Jesse Connolly ”pledged” after their defeat “In a defiant speech to several hundred lingering supporters, . . . that his side ‘will not quit until we know where every single one of these votes lives.’ “ (http://bit.ly/3FgU4K)
For some reason, that threat was omitted in most other mainstream news reports.
Just why Connolly is so committed to learning the addresses of “these votes” is unclear but it sure smacks of an effort at intimidation against those who voted to oppose gay marriage.
Could Connolly and fellow gays be planning to attack their opponents with their purses and feather boas?
Next, and lest we disregard the dedication and vicious nature of Obama supporters such as the Service Employees International Union, SEIU, take a look at this reaction to a rara avis, that rare bird, a conservative African-American.
Kenneth Gladney had come to demonstrate his rights to free speech at Rep. Russ McClanahan’s town hall meeting by distributing free “Don’t Tread on Me” flags when he was attacked by SEIU thugs.
“Gladney said he was giving out the “Don’t Tread on Me” flags when someone walked up to him and asked, ‘Who in the (expletive) is selling this (expletive) here?’
“Gladney said he asked him if he wanted one of his flags, and the man (who was also black) asked Gladney, “What kind of n_____ are you to be giving out this kind of stuff?” (http://bit.ly/367DJ5)
One of those arrested in the unprovoked August assault on Gladney was Elston K. McCowan, Baptist minister, community organizer, former local SEIU director, and Green Party candidate for the mayoralty of St. Louis who had accused the mayor of racism: http://bit.ly/2fyUx4.

Pregnant Decisions and Personal Reflections
. . . Let’s say you’re a woman who abandoned discretion, or a young girl who got carried away one steamy night with that month’s true love, or a college kid who conferred more benefits on her friend than either of you anticipated and as a result you got pregnant.
Where do you go? What do you do?
Ghostbusters are not an option since you haven’t conceived some phantom but a precious human child.
And, let’s say you have an innate antipathy toward the thought of murdering a sentient being who, by no choice of his or her own, happens to be comfortably nestled within your body.
What do you do?
Well, there’s always the latest craze, the “morning after” pill. Also termed “Plan B” or “Emergency Contraception,” it’s relatively inexpensive but must be prescribed by a doctor if you’re under 17.
However, Plan B is actually a two-step abortafacient, that is, an abortion remedy which will kill the tiny product of your indiscretion, your baby, and may cause severe short- and long-term emotional and physical repercussions.
Then there’s the more traditional method of killing your baby, . . .

Two Firings: Two Sad Signs of Our Times
Two Firings: Two Sad Signs of Our Times
As a cocky college kid working part time, I once told a supervisor at Met Life who was letting a bunch of us go that I’d been fired from better jobs than this, which may or may not have been true.
Getting fired, canned, dismissed, discharged, terminated, let go from a job, part or full time, is often a shot to the ego and and the wallet. Today, especially, it’s no joking matter since decent positions are hard to come by.
Getting fired, etc. for your religious beliefs at any time is even less a subject for jocularity.
Even if you’re working at Home Depot, not the ultimate career for most people, but, hey, a job is a job and a buck is a buck, a guy shouldn’t expect to be sent packing for wearing a pin.
However, college kid/cashier Trevor Keezor was canned for his pin which read, “One nation under God, indivisible,” which happen to be words excerpted from the Pledge of Allegiance. Said pin also featured the American flag, which may have offended some illegals at his Okeechobee, Florida Home Depot.
He merely wanted to express his sense of patriotism and support for his brother, a National Guardsman who was scheduled for his second tour in Iraq next month.
No, no, no, said Home Depot. We will tolerate none of that folderol! We may (or may not) concur with your sentiments but trash the pin or you’re gone to the unemployment line!
Trevor chose unemployment over surrendering his constitutional rights and love of country, and his support for his brother.
Company spokesman Craig Fishel contended Keezor had violated company policy and the Home Depot dress code by sporting the pin, which Keezor had worn for a year and a half before anyone noticed, or cared, or complained.
Perhaps what really precipitated the kid’s dismissal was his recent habit of toting his Bible to work and reading it on his lunch hour.
Either way, Trevor’s gone and won’t be able to ever again pollute Home Depot with his patriotic and God-loving fervor.
The good news is that he plans to sue on the basis of religious discrimination. The bad news is that the ACLU effectively said, “Fat chance” since a private corporation such as Home Depot is within its rights to disregard an American’s right to free speech and worship: http://bit.ly/4pAx8s.
Another notable canning occurred up in Barney Frank-land.
Peter Vidala’s infraction? Failure to comply with political correctness . . .

"Queering American Education"
“Queering American Education,” and Other Edifying Thoughts
“Nowhere is this failure [of education] more evident than when it comes to antigay prejudice, and nowhere is that particular failure more manifest than it is in our elementary schools.”
“Acknowledging children as sexual beings or allowing males (particularly homosexuals) to teach in elementary grades dislodges the classroom from the ‘safe haven’ of heteronormativity.”
“Boys don’t have to stand to urinate (nor do girls have to sit–they could squat), that’s just how they got conditioned.”
“Assumptions about children’s ‘innocence’ regarding sexuality are outdated.”
All of the above quotations are taken from Queering Elementary Education: Advancing the Dialogue about Sexualities and Schooling, a 1999 book for which Obama’s “safe schools czar,” Kevin Jennings, assistant deputy secretary for education who heads the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools, wrote a foreword.
Jennings “called for elementary school children to explore their sexual identities, for teachers to incorporate homosexual themes in grades K-5, for discarding a ‘hetero-normative’ approach to education and for ‘acknowledging children as sexual beings:’ ” http://bit.ly/3b3GGU.
Jennings is the founder and president of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.
The lead quotation above is also taken from his foreword, the other three from contributors to Queering . . .
If I may be so presumptuous as to summarize the contents of a book I’ve never read, it’s a work intended to subvert the innocence of children in the interests of furthering the agenda of the homosexual lobby.
I base that presumption on a passing acquaintance with Jennings in the sense of knowing his history. See previous articles about this gem of an Obamaczar, http://bit.ly/3kkzGt and http://bit.ly/Loo9u.
Not on his resume’ is his advising a 15 year old boy to wear a condom during his assignations with an adult, male pervert while Jennings was a teacher in Barney Frank’s Massachusetts. . .

Oh, Brave New Babies!
Oh, Brave New Babies!
Aldous Huxley’s unintended prophecies in his darkly satirical novel, Brave New World, (1932), had one major flaw: He missed the mark by at least 531 years.
He described his new world as a “nightmare” in Brave New World Reisited twenty-six years later. He evidently knew whereof he spoke since by then he had become an aficionado of Timothy Leary’s favorite brand of euphoria, LSD.
Set in the year A.D. 2540 in England–632 A.F., (After [Henry] Ford)– Huxley’s vision of the future was characterized by a societal-condoned hedonism, unrestricted drug use, loveless sex, and universal “happiness” in a tightly-controlled structure designed and manipulated by an all-powerful yet benevolent government.
It was indeed a nightmare even if it was a drug-induced pleasant nightmare devoid of withdrawal symptoms or hangovers, a genetically-engineered Utopia where life began in test tubes.
Much like millions now pop a Valium when regrets or sadness threaten to overwhelm the psyche, Huxley’s New Worlders popped a soma and drifted off to a blissful neverland.
We still have a few years to go before reaching Huxley’s nightmarish eugenics, but a major step in that direction was recently taken in an American research lab.
A report published in the scientific journal Nature details “a cure for infertility [which] could help those left sterile by cancer treatment to have children who are biologically their own,” a boon for infertile males by coaxing “cells into becoming eggs and sperm.”
Another plus is that the research findings may postpone menopause.
Minuses include the fact that stem cells are used in the procedures which would probably involve even more destruction of embryos, that the practice of aborting unwanted babies would mushroom, and that homosexuals could seek out practioners who could grow their children.
Other bad news is that the test tube breakthrough by Stanford scientists accomplishes that cure by creating ”the possibility of children being born through entirely artificial means, and men and women being sidelined from the process of making babies.” . . .
