Bullying Susan G. Komen
The huge flap over the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation’s decision to cease funding Planned Parenthood of America, PPOA, and then to rescind that recission is nothing more than a tempest in the abortion teapot. It’s also an excellent example of the power of bullying.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure is as dedicated to curing breast cancer as Planned Parenthood is dedicated to killing the pre-born. However, when the foundation pulled its funding of PPOA last week, it was a wake-up call, if one were needed, that libs are far more concerned for preserving abortion rights than they are with preserving the lives of women.
Under a torrent of incensed bullying attacks, the foundation quickly seemed to reverse its decision though not before libs launched a withering onslaught of abuse of Komen.
The bullying died down following the apparent reversal, which is ironic since the foundation simply decided to adhere to its previous commitment to pay PPOA over half a million dollars but would provide no additional funding because, despite its advertising, the nation’s most profitable and prolific abortionists doesn’t give a damn about breast cancer.
Komen caved to the bullying tactics then made it clear it won’t support organizations not engaged in breast cancer research or treatment or if they are proven guilty of criminal activities,
As background, Susan Komen died at age 36 in 1980, a victim of the plague of breast cancer after her sister Nancy Goodman Brinker swore to her that she would do all she could to eradicate that scourge. . . .

Cancer Sucks!
Cancer Sucks!
Saying “Cancer sucks!” is no great revelation to those stricken with that insidious disease or to family members and friends of the afflicted but it truly does suck.
One of the worst things about cancer–aside from the obvious–are the long-extant rumors that cures are available and that researchers and pharmaceutical companies prefer to conceal them since continuing the quest for cures and supplying over-priced drugs are such lucrative enterprises.
It’s the old, “If we can put men on the moon, why can’t we cure cancer?” question, a good and valid question best refuted by the facts that everyone from scientists to pharma execs–to Joe Blow and his family–are and can become victims of the BIG C.
Back when I was a kid during the Dark Ages of the 1950′s, we didn’t hear much about cancer. Most often we heard only shocked statements like, “They opened him up and it was all over his insides so they just closed him up,” and “he” soon died. No commentary on treatments, no praise of cures, not even miraculous interventions.
“He” or ”She” just died.
Today, things are different, very different, thanks mainly to the medical free enterprise system in which doctors and medical scientists haven’t been burdened, until lately, with government restrictions and inhibitions, free to develop innovative treatments, procedures, remedies, and cures.
I won’t vouch for an attack of conscience on the parts of cancer researchers or execs at Big Pharm but cancer treatments, ameliorative procedures, and successful cures are now widely available and effective. They’re not 100%guaranteed, but what is?
Come full implementation of Obamacare in 2014 when America fully commits to the model for our health care, Britain’s National Health Service, which picks and chooses who should live and who should die and save some money because hospital beds and doctors–and interest in preserving life–are in short supply, medical advances may come to a screeching halt.
Barack Obama and his fellow Obamians have used the unsettling image of “pulling the plug on grandma” as a tool to reduce protestors of Obamacare to the level of uninformed absurdists at the same time they know full well that not only will grandma’s plug be yanked but her hospital bed will be vacated before she is cold to make way for the next victim.
The best bet for grannie and anyone else afflicted with serious illnesses is to find cures for as many afflictions as possible before Obamacare kicks in and effectively says, Don’t bother.
Toward the end of curing one of the most pervasive and pernicious forms of cancer is to Think Pink Rocks.
Think Pink Rocks is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness of the necessity for early and genetic testing for breast cancer research and funding breast cancer screening, treatment, and research.
New York City’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Research Center, the American Cancer Society, The H.O.P.E. Project, and other worthy charities have partnered with and benefitted from TPR’s various activities.
Those activities have included a Designer Clothes Charity Drive, a concert at the Mizner Amphitheater in Boca Raton, and an anticipated large sponsorship for the upcoming NYC Half Marathon, the NYC Half 2012, on March 18th.
This year, all proceeds from TPR’s NYC Half 2012 will be donated to Memorial Sloan-Kettering for breast cancer research.
See the Think Pink Rocks website here http://www.thinkpinkrocks.com/ and consider donating much-needed contributions in any amount for a very worthwhile cause.
The United States Supreme Court will soon decide whether Obamacare is constitutional. By supporting Think Pink Rocks, Americans can decide whether TPR continues to help cancer victims.

NHS Updates
NHS Updates
The UK’s National Health Service, the NHS, a model for and a forerunner of Obamacare, continues to fail and disappoint the British people just as Obamacare will fail and disappoint the American people once it is fully implemented in 2014:
“But the place is full of blokes!” “Sorry, dearie, it’s all we have to offer.”
Thirteen years after Britain’s Labour Party promised that mixed sex wards in NHS hospitals would be abolished, patients were forced to spend some 20,000 nights in mixed sex accommodations last year, many hospitals used only thin partitions to separate the sexes, and dozens used a curtain.
In 2009, there were 18,685 breaches of the rules and the number is growing rapidly.
In addition, 20% of NHS patients are forced to share washrooms and toilets with patients of the opposite sex and many are confined to hospitals which still feature “Victorian style” facilities, that is, men and women aren’t even kept in separate bays or have the benefits of flimsy separations for privacy.
It’s highly improbable that Queen Victoria had to share such undignified arrangements. If she had, she would certainly not be amused.
Meanwhile the conservatives and labourites quibble over which party is responsible for this offense to propriety in very proper England. . .
