Cardinal Dolan - An Hypocrite?

Cardinal Dolan New York Diocese 

Not so long ago The Catholic Church was exposed for covering up the most widespread Sexual abuse Scandal committed by its Priest. Little Boys ( alter Boys ) and other male Parishioners were sodomized on church Property, outside Church Property by its Priest. The loud mouth Cardinal Dolan who is now all over the Radio Television and teachings at Mass the Evil on Government protecting all people in The United States by ensuring that, "No Citizen is denied medical Coverage regardless of Church affiliation or where or for whom you work" Cardinal Dolan is become a Leader. Where was Cardinal Dolan during the Priest Sex Scandal? Was he a part of covering up for the abusive Priests in his Parish? How much did Cardinal Dolan know about the abuses or acts of sodomy of Boys before by his priests.

Before Cardinal Dolan continue to "hold the Government accountable for acting in the best interest of all its citizens" as is its duty, this Leader of the New York Diocese Cardinal Dolan should start holding his Flock accountable protecting little boys and male members of his flock from his Priests may Sodomize them.

Since the Priest sex Scandal The Catholic Church lost thousands of Parishioners and Cardinal Dolan know this, Churches like St Ann es in Bentwood New York is almost empty on a Sunday. The Hispanic community walked away from the Catholic church in Bentwood because they no longer trust the Catholic Church to Protect its sons.

The Catholic Church and Cardinal Dolan must realize, "The Catholic Church is part of the American experience and not America a part of the Catholic Church". This is a Nation that embraces all people, Religions, Beliefs and those that do not even believe. It is the role of the Catholic Church to teach its flock their doctrines regardless of the Laws of this Country in the boundaries of religion. It is also the duty Government to enact Laws for all people of this nation Regardless of religious teachings.

When Cardinal Dolan and the Catholic Church convinces is Parishioners that Birth control methods are IMMORAL then they would have reached their objective a conversation would no longer be necessary. The truth is that, "Catholic Parishioners while they continue to respect their Church no longer find life's reality fitting into some teaching of the Church", People are evolving and the Church is way behind the people they serve.

During the Priest Sodomy Scandal the Catholic Church and Cardinal Dolan had to be embarrassed into financially settling with their victims. The Church paid in the region of $2 Billion dollars to get that scandal behind them, the Catholic Church has not recovered from that experience. If Cardinal Dolan think taking on the government on Birth Control is a way revive the Church he is so wrong. 98% of Catholic Women already us contraceptive for birth Control or other medical reasons. 

"If Cardinal Dolan and his Catholic Church continue its fight with Government on basic women's health care the Church will further its isolation from the Community started during the Priest Sodomy Scandal".

Is Portland out of Step?

Port Antonio Square

Port Antonio the is the most North Easterly Town in Jamaica, Capital City of the Parish of Portland most recent census give Portland a Population of 82,685 of jamaicas 2,706,763 residents in 2011 census results. Portland, braggs its Natural beauty makes it different and should attract development toward tourism and articulture however there ample evidence Portland has lost its tourist appeal and now linger behind Parishes like St Elizabeth and Kingston.

While tourism exploded from Oracabessa to Negril and now White house in Westmoreland with some growth in St Elizabeth, Portland continue to regress with its crumbling tourism infrastructure. Facilities like the Trident Villa Hotel now rebuilt, Titchfield Hotel, Bonnie View Hotel, Frenchman's Cove Hotel, The Blue Lagoon and the Dragon Bay Hotel all remain in ruins or under poor or no management.

Thanks to seven Democrats - Debo Adegbile Voted down

Weak Democrats 

The Democrats who opposed Adegbile’s confirmation are Sens. Bob Casey (D-PA), Chris Coons (D-DE), Joe Donnelly (D-IN), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Joe Manchin (D-WV), Mark Pryor (D-AR) and John Walsh (D-MT).

Debo Adegbile previously served as the acting head of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, he is one of the nation’s top civil rights attorneys is a leading expert on voting rights who twice defended the voting rights Act before the Supreme Court the first time successfully. He is the ideal candidate to lead the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division the division which, among other things, oversees the federal government’s voting rights work in an era where conservative state lawmakers are currently waging a widespread campaign to prevent demographic groups that tend to vote for Democrats from casting a ballot.

These seven Democrats should be held to account for their votes especially at a time when the voting rights act is under fire in several States across the country. Democrats know Sen. Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp are unreliable but our surprise came from Senator Chris Coons who promised to make tough choices in support of freedom his vote was the biggest surprise and a failure to stand with the President and be on the right side of this issue.

Thanks to seven Democrats Debo Adegbile voted down leaving the Civil Rights Division without a leader while the assault from states continue on voting rights.

Republican war on Women, Uncle Sugar

Republicans have grave difficulty speaking about women issues from Rape, abortion, birth control the woman's role in the society and now Gov. Mike Huckabee discussing the woman's Libido. The fact is when Republicans discuss these issues concerning women it is done by men who do not know or  have not in the past shown sensitivity to the women's need and have blocked the growing influence of women in our society.

Gov. Mike Huckabee

Democrats, Mike Huckabee said, see women as “helpless and hopeless creatures whose only goal in life is to have a government provide for them birth control medication" because they "cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government."

 “It’s time for Republicans to no longer accept listening to Democrats talk about a war on women," Mike Huckabee continued, "Because the fact is, the Republicans don’t have a war on women. They have a war for women. For them to be empowered; to be something other than victims of their gender.

"Women I know are outraged that Democrats think that women are nothing more than helpless and hopeless creatures whose only goal in life is to have a government provide for them birth control medication," he continued. "Women I know are smart, educated, intelligent, capable of doing anything anyone else can do. Our party stands for the recognition of the equality of women and the capacity of women. That’s not a war on them, it’s a war for them.

Nine years ago, as Governor Mike Huckabee thought that the government should ensure that everyone had access to contraception.

"And if the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of the government, then so be it," he said. "Let’s take that discussion all across America because women are far more than Democrats have made them to be. And women across America have to stand up and say, 'Enough of that nonsense.'”

Note
 In 2005, Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee signed a law mandating Arkansas insurance plans provide contraception coverage, including church-affiliated organizations such as hospitals and universities.

Norman Manley Museum

 In his last public address to an annual conference of the PNP, Norman Manley declare:

"I say that the mission of my generation was to win self-government for Jamaica. To win political power which is the final power for the black masses of my country from which I spring. I am proud to stand here today and say to you who fought that fight with me, say it with gladness and pride: Mission accomplished for my generation."

Norman Manley

"Among the things I will always remember is Norman Manley's towering intellect, his passion for selfless service, his energy which was boundless, and his enduring stamina."

Norman Washington Manley was born to mixed-race parents in Roxborough in Jamaica's Manchester parish, on 4 July 1893. His father Thomas Albert Samuel Manley, the out-of-wedlock son of a former slave and an English merchant from Yorkshire, worked as an agricultural businessman; he sold Jamaican spices and fruit to the United States. Norman Manley's mother, Margaret Shearer, was the daughter of a mixed-race woman and her ethnic Irish husband, a pen-keeper.

Manley was a brilliant scholar, soldier and athlete, and studied law at Jesus College, Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. He served in the Royal Field Artillery during World War I, and was awarded the Military Medal (M.M.).

After suffrage was approved in 1944, Manley had to wait ten years and two terms before his party was elected to office. He was a strong advocate of the Federation of the West Indies, established in 1958. 

Norman Manley Museum, Jamaica

 Manley founded the left-wing People's National Party, which later was tied to the Trade Union Congress and the National Workers Union.Manley served as the colony's Chief Minister from 1955 to 1959, and as Premier from 1959 to 1962. He was a proponent of the island's participation in the Federation of the West Indies but bowed to pressure to hold a referendum on the issue in 1961. Voters chose to have Jamaica withdraw from the union.

Dr Ben Carson

Dr Ben Carson

A son of slavery declare Obamacare is slavery, do you agree? 

Benjamin Solomon "Ben" Carson, Sr., (born September 18, 1951) is a retired American neurosurgeon. Among other surgical innovations, Carson did pioneering work on the successful separation of conjoined twins joined at the head. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States, by President George W. Bush in 2008. After delivering a widely publicized speech at the February 2013 National Prayer Breakfast, he became a popular figure in conservative media for his views on social issues and the government's role in the health care industry.

Dr. Ben Carson didn't mince words: Obamacare is “the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery.” “It is slavery because it aims to make all of us subservient to the government,” he said. “It was never about health care. It was about control.” Is it having control over your health care that Insurance companies cannot deny you coverage as a result of a pre-existing condition.

 When he was eight years old, his parents divorced and he was raised by his mother along with his 10 year old brother Curtis. He struggled throughout elementary school both academically and emotionally with his temper.

Ben Carson Prostate Cancer Pre-existing condition

In June 2002, Dr Ben Carson cut back on his public appearances when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He still operated on more than 300 children a year, but tried to shorten his work days: prior to his cancer he used to work from 7:00 in the morning until 8:00 at night.

Dr Carson has identified himself as being independent of any political party. "If I were part of one, it would be called the 'Logic party,' and it would be dedicated to commonsense approaches we all should be able to see." This would include "recognizing that our debt is so great we have got to stop digging the hole and spend less." Despite largely expressing conservative viewpoints in his National Prayer Breakfast speech, Dr Carson has also expressed some views at odds with conservatives, such as supporting banning semi-automatic weapons in cities

"Republicans Closing down our Government over Obama Care"

Rep. Peter King Rep. New York

“This was a fool’s error started by Ted Cruz,” said King. He added, “But we can’t just blame him. We have to blame his acolytes in the Republican conference—30 or 40 who stood with him…I blame Ted Cruz and his supporters.”

King admitted “I don’t know if you can compromise” with the far right wing of his own party, but said if Obama can come up with a proposal with meaningful cuts or meaningful reductions in spending “Boehner can show he achieved something.” The GOP, King said, “can’t let Ted Cruz have veto power.”

Ocho Rios-Jamaica Beach and Waterfalls

Ocho Rios, Dunns River Falls

Ocho Rios (Spanish for "Eight Rivers") is a town in the parish of Saint Ann on the north coast of Jamaica. Although he landed in many spots along the Jamaican coast, many believe that Christopher Columbus first set foot on land in Ocho Rios. Just outside the city, travelers and residents can visit Columbus Park, where Columbus supposedly first came on land, and see maritime artifacts and Spanish colonial buildings.

Once a fishing village Ocho Rios now well known as the second of Jamaica's tourism communities. It is a port of call for cruise ships hosting several of Carnival Cruise lines and other cruises weekly as well as cargo ships loading sugar, limestone, and in the past, bauxite.

The name "Ocho Rios" is a misnomer because there are not eight rivers in the area. It is most likely a British corruption of the original Spanish name "Las Chorreras" ("the waterfalls"), a name given to the village because of the nearby Dunn's River Falls.

The north coast highway from the international airport at Montego Bay to Ocho Rios has been improved since 2000 and the journey is now an hour and forty five minutes drive. On 26 August 2011, Jamaicas government announced a $21 million revitalization plan for the resort area.

The town has restaurants, night clubs in Margaritaville and Dolphin Cove, where tourists swim and interact with dolphins. Scuba diving and other water sports are offered in the town's vicinity.

Mystic Mountain, Ocho Rios, Jamaica

The OCCUPY Movement 99% is waiting!

No victory for Occupy yet!

We can succeed only by concert. It is not,"Can you imagine better?" but "Can we all do better?" Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs, "Can we do better?". The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew. We must dis-enthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country. Every victory comes with sacrifice, What is your sacrifice

Occupy wall Street is about the future!

While the Mayor New York changed the Law to get himself elected for a third term the mayor filled with his own hypocrisy has become the Prime supporter of the 1% him being a member of the one percent himself. How much have things changed for Mayor

The Occupy Movement  is about Fairness, Not Grudge!

95 percent of all Americans work for someone in the last 30 years the salary's and benefits of the top 1% has seen their income rise by 275%- 305% .in easy to understand language any  who valued  million Dollars thirty years ago is now 300 Million Dollars notwithstanding all the negative effects on our Economy.

Walmart among the 99%

Most Walmart workers are only able to work in their store because they get benefit like medicaid and food stamps from the Government, essencially the Government is now paying health care and food walmart for Walmart workers. One member of the walmart family earm more than 62 million americans last year with their wealth stached in a Bank accounts in a foreign countries and taxpayers pay for their workers healthcare and food.

Factoring in what taxpayers contribute for public programs, the report estimated that one Wal-Mart supercenter employing 300 workers could cost taxpayers at least $904,000 annually.

At the end of 2012, there were 3,216 Wal-Mart employees who were enrolled in Wisconsin public health care programs, more than any other employer. Add in the dependents of Wal-Mart workers and the total jumps up to 9,207.

"Walmart a Job Creator or a corporate welfare recipient".

Senator Mitch McConnell a Failure.

 “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term President.” McConnell confirmed.

Senator McConnell, I failed to stop Obama.

The one Job I undertook for 4 years I failed at it, to filibuster legislation in the senate is easy I have 46 other republicans to do that for me, I promised to make President Obama a one term President and I failed. Now my promise is to make the American peoples life hell under this President they are the ones who voted for him. No legislation will pass through the senate even the ones I support in practice and I know will help the American people and  Kentucky.

This President must be punished for his success, killing Osama Bin-laden, who dare him to make such a gutsy call even when the military told him of the risk involved, who does he think he is Churchill?. Although we conservative  led by our Governors have tried to stop the economic recovery by laying off State and local Government workers all over the country creating large surplus in State and local Governments Budgets to strangle the job growth, my God the Obama recovery continues. That attorney General Holder blocking every effort Republicans make to suppress the vote in the November 2012 election he will be punished, that will be House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa job to bring him down.    

Those bastards on wall street they promise to hold the reins on the recovery in 2012 so that republicans could win but Greed, wall street greed took over and the stock markets grew leap and bounds they lose all that money they gave us but those wall street bastards didn't mind because they made a lot of money under Obama. Its sad I will still have to support the Banks legislation in congress to kill the Dodd-Frank Bill although I know the Dodd- Frank bill is good for consumers the country and the people in Kentucky. (looking out for my friends in business there is where my bread is buttered need the contributions to finance my re-election campaign). No wonder wall street didn't care about the GOP in 2012, the markets made more money under this Barack Obama Presidency than any other administration in the past.

I know the Banks and broader market is doing fine making money under this President Obama, the problem is those Greedy Bastards on wall street do not want to pay taxes and if the Markets crash again they do not want to be held accountable. Those wall street people do not like regulations although most regulations are good protecting Americans especially the people of Kentucky. I know good regulations could have prevented some of the abuse that brought the market down and prevented the hell the people of Kentucky suffered with foreclosure and loss of employment. I know that! but that's not where my party is right now, I have election next year and I don't want to get primaried, the Tea Party is right over my shoulder.      

Senator Republican Leader Mich McConnell pledged, "My only Job for the next 2 years is to ensure the President is defeated" and here we are no Job Growth and the Economy us close to a double Dip Recession. Over the past 2 Years The Senator and his Republican Cohorts did everything they could Blocking Legislation, rejecting efforts to Stimulate the Economy, refusing to raise the death ceiling, have their Republican Governors in their various States lay off Public sector workers while giving tax break to election campaign donors.

During the recession companies especially in retail have shed enormous number of workers due to increased technology in the workplace. These Jobs are not coming back, Companies Productivity levels are at their highest levels ever and their profits is the highest ever. Hourly paid workers are receiving the worst pay in the past 40 years CEO's salary are the best in history.

"Stage III cancer of socialism"

Todd Aiken - Stage 111 Cancer of Socialism

"Most successful industrialized Countries including Israel, India and Germany have pulled themselves ahead the United States in education and training. These Countries they have not allowed their Students to be saddled by Loans and other Debts  rather subsidized their Education up to a first Degree in return for voluntary service".  In America some Politicians advocate students Education should become Pawns of of the Banks before they earn a penny in their profession". 

President Obama removed a part of this extra financial obligation by taking away the Student Loan disbursement from the Banks saving Students $6 Billion Dollars in interest and fees. These actions were seen as a Negative by some Elements of the Republican Party including Representative Todd Aiken referring to the move as, "Stage III cancer of socialism"  as a result of the Presidents action more than 7.4 million students currently hold affordable student loans at a 3.4 percent interest rate.

Rep Todd Akin compared student loans to Stage III cancer: "America has got the equivalent of the Stage III cancer of socialism because the federal government is tampering in all kinds of stuff it has no business tampering in. So, first to answer your question precisely. What the democrats did to get rid of the private student loans and take it all over by the government was wrong. It was a lousy bill. That's why I voted no. The government needs to get its nose out of the education business."

"The Banks should be allowed to participate in students Loan but their rates should be reasonable and affordable. Like the Government the Private sector has a role to play in the Education of our Students and that does not include unreasonable Loan Rates and fees saddling them with long term debts to enrich themselves". 

Seeking a Scandal to bring down a President!

Bengazi!

In the month before attackers stormed U.S. facilities in Benghazi and killed four Americans, U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens twice turned down offers of security assistance made by the senior U.S. military official in the region in response to concerns that Stevens had raised in a still secret memorandum, two government officials told McClatchy.

US Facility in Benghazi, a Country at war

Army Gen. Carter Ham, then the head of the U.S. Africa Command, did not wait for the separate cable, however. Instead, after reading the Aug. 16 cable, Ham phoned Stevens and asked if the embassy needed a special security team from the U.S. military. Stevens told Ham it did not, the officials said. 

“He didn't say why. He just turned it down,”

Officials have publicly referred to Ham’s phone call before. In his Feb. 7 testimony before the House Armed Services Committee, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the military was aware of the Aug. 16 cable and that someone had turned down Ham’s offer.

“As far as Mr. Hicks knows, the ambassador always wanted more security and they were both frustrated by not getting it,” she said.

Some Republican lawmakers expressed surprise when told that Stevens had turned down such an offer.

Ambassador Christopher Stevens was by all account was a good man, will be remembered by the people of Libya for his efforts in bringing some semblance of order after the fall of the Qaddafi government. Chris Stevens will also be remembered by the citizens of the United States for his service as an ambassador and public service.

US Embassy in a peaceful Nation.

It is most important that we take lesson learned from the tragedy in Bengazi, Ambassadors and those the United States in foreign Nations cannot on their own determine when security is sufficient when and where, this is not a case of cowboy diplomacy but why did an ambassador refuse additional security at such a dangerous time?. In the future ambassadors must be guided by those security assessment and recommendations made by agencies deemed to carry out those tasks.

Sequestration and the US Congress

Definition,

a) Sequestration (law), the seizure of property for creditors or the state,

Senator John McCain calls for repeal

b)Jury sequestration, the isolation of a jury,
c) Bankruptcy, in Scottish law,
d) Sequestration US Congress,

e) A congressional inflicted wound of Austerity forced by congressional Republicans  to the US economic recovery in December 2012 resulting in loss of Private and Public sector Jobs, reduction in Government services slowing economic growth by an estimated 1-1 1/2 percent in 2013.  

The Budget Control Act of 2011 (Pub.L. 112–25, S. 365, 125 Stat. 240, enacted August 2, 2011) is a federal statute in the United States that was signed into law by President Barack Obama on August 2, 2011. The Act brought conclusion to the 2011 United States debt-ceiling crisis, which had threatened to lead the United States into sovereign default on or about August 3, 2011.

Complex mechanisms,

The law involves the introduction of several complex mechanisms, such as creation of the Congressional Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (sometimes called the "super committee"),[1] options for a balanced budget amendment and automatic budget sequestration.

Definitions a, b and c are easily understood and familiar to most of us who pay any attention to the world around us. Our congress borrowed sequestration to avert a crisis in 2011 with the consequences of sequestration so severe neither Republicans or democrats would allow those reality to impact our country, in other words what we are doing is so bad we cannot allow this to take effect.

Optimism on US Oil Production

United States will become "US a net exporter of natural gas by 2020" and will become "almost self-sufficient in energy, in net terms, by 2035."  

Two different approaches by President George W Bush and President Barack Obama have led us to the point where Optimism on America's future become brighter as the country realize hope on becoming a net exporter of Oil and Oil products. President Bush made oil deals with Saudi families and fought 2 wars defending Saudi and other middle eastern countries oil at the American peoples expense. President Obama quietly went about while Protecting the environment encourage private sector investment in renewable energy and a ramp up drilling on land already designated for oil production, in 2011-2012 America produced 40% of the energy it need for the first time in years.

We have increased oil production to the highest levels in 16 years. Natural gas production is the highest it's been in decades. We have seen increases in coal production and coal employment. We doubled fuel efficiency standards on cars. In the middle of the next decade, any car you buy, you're going to end up going twice as far on a gallon of gas. That's why we doubled clean energy production. All these things have contributed to us lowering our oil imports to the lowest levels in 16 years.

"Cozening up to Saudi Arabia Kings and princes is not an energy policy".

This is not an Energy Policy

Debt and deficits: Whenever a Bush is president, private debt and government deficits seem to grow. Middle- and low-income Americans borrow to offset the income squeeze of recessions. The hallmark of Bush economics during both presidencies has been favoritism toward capital over workers. Federal budget deficits have soared because of a combination of upper-bracket tax favors, middle-income job shrinkage, big federal spending to hype election-year economic growth, huge defense outlays and overseas military spending for the wars in Iraq and elsewhere. Imperial hubris costs a lot of money.

Politically, over four generations the Bush past has been prologue. Despite George W. Bush's new good ol' boy image cowboy boots and born-again ties to the religious right his basic tendencies go in the same directions — oil, crony capitalism, top 1% economics and military industrial-establishment loyalties — that the previous Bush and Walker generations have traveled. The old biases and loyalties seem ineradicable; so, too, for old grudges, like the two-generation fixation on Saddam Hussein.

Obama deem to make America energy independent

Since taking office, I have supported an all-of-the-above energy approach that will allow us to take control of our energy future, one where we safely and responsibly develop America's many energy resources--including natural gas, wind, solar, oil, clean coal, and bio-fuels -while investing in clean energy and increasing fuel efficiency standards to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. I know the country that harnesses the power of clean, renewable energy will lead the global economy in the 21st century. That's why I have made the largest investment in clean energy and energy efficiency in American history and proposed an ambitious Clean Energy Standard to generate 80 percent of our electricity from clean energy sources like wind, solar, clean coal, and natural gas by 2035. Source: The Top American Science Questions, by sciencedebate.org , Sept 4, 201

"Pregnancy as a result of Rape is something that God intended to happen."

Senate Candidate Richard Mourdock 

"Pregnancy as a result of Rape is something that God intended to happen."

Republican Senate Candidate Richard Mourdock on Rape.

"The only exception I have to have an abortion is in the case of the life of the mother," said Mourdock, the Tea Party-backed state treasurer. "I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize life is that gift from God. I think that even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."

"Richard Mourdock's disturbing comment about rape is a window into Mourdock's extreme view of the world, " said Shripal Shah, spokesman for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. "Indiana can't afford to send a self-proclaimed 'zealot' and Tea Partier like Richard Mourdock to the Senate."

Romney policy is that there will be exceptions for rape.

Mitt Romney said Tuesday he has no plans to push for legislation limiting abortion, a softer stance from a candidate who has said he would "get rid of" funding for Planned Parenthood and appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade.

“There’s no legislation with regards to abortion that I’m familiar with that would become part of my agenda,” the Republican presidential nominee told The Des-Moines Register in an interview.

His comments to the Register could put him at odds with congressional Republicans who have made limiting abortion central to their messages. His own running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), has introduced bills to restrict access to abortion, and the Republican Party platform toughened its anti-abortion stance earlier this year.

 Ryan would confer legal rights on a fetus .

This August, Paul Ryan told a reporter, “ I've always adopted the idea, the position that, the method of conception does not change the definition of life,” Ryan said, referring to rape or incest. “But the Romney policy is that there will be exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother, and I think that is what people want to know, and I am comfortable with that because I think that’s a vast improvement to the status quot.”

Ryan has also supported so-called person-hood measures that would confer legal rights on a fetus (and thus potentially lead to the banning of all abortions). Last year, he cosponsored a federal bill that said that “each human life begins with fertilization, cloning or its functional equivalent, at which time every human has all legal and constitutional attributes and privileges of person-hood.”

Romney has never explicitly endorsed such a law, though he has said, as do many abortion foes, that he believes life begins at conception. Instead, his spokesman said in November 2011, “he believes these matters should be left up to states to decide.”

Pres. Obama made free contraception available for all women, which actually legislates and codifies “rare” in public policy. This is the seminal misunderstanding Republicans have about government power. They want to use state and federal power to force women to give birth, while Democrats under Pres. Obama want to utilize policy to make unwanted pregnancy not only rare, but obsolete.

Malala Yousafzai 14 Year old Girl Shot by Taliban

Malala Yousafzai dreamed of becoming a doctor, but recently she became interested in politics and speaking out for the rights of children. She was on a school bus with her classmates when gunman stopped the bus, asked for her, and shot Malala her twice, in the head and neck, leaving her seriously wounded in Pakistan.

Malala being taken to hospital.

Pakistan’s prime minister said, “Malala Yousafzai is like my daughter, and yours too. If that mind-set prevails, then whose daughter would be safe?”. Pakistani army’s chief general said that the Taliban has “failed to grasp that she is not only an individual, but an icon of courage.”

The U.S. government called the shooting of Malala Yousafzai “barbaric” and “cowardly.”

Anne Frank wrote, “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.” Today, for Malala Yousafzai and the many girls like her.

Baby Politics! Who Scares me?

The contrast how Kids see the 2 candidates running for President may be the difference in the Election, children don't vote their parents do, especially mothers "Baby Politics" could be the decider. We try to reflect how babies respond to our presidential candidates and the most memorable moments over the past eighteen months.  

Like most Americans up to now Mitt Romney is a mystery and this child may be reflecting those sentiments. A little scared of the man who want to be President and make decisions on my education, grandmas social security, repeal the affordable care act taking health insurance coverage from 19 million Americans while not telling us any specific how you are going to do these things that scares me Mr Romney. 

Playing Baby Politics is dangerous in a military family, thousands of American children are born to military families every year especially while the father is deployed, a very difficult situation for the mother in labor and a worst situation for the father who may be on the Battle field the moment of birth. These military families reflect a part of the 47% that Mitt Romney described as not talking responsibility for their themselves because soldiers pay no Taxes while in deploy. 

Military wives and military children and babies should never be thought of as, "47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what, "there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent on government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing.” 

Military families does not really believe this, the fact is the Romney family has never demonstrated in any way  willingness to defend this country in uniform. No member of the Romney Family has ever served the Militarily. Mitt Romney's father did not serve the military neither did Mitt Romney's or his five sons serve in the military, who then believe they are entitled?. The Romney's have used every opportunity afforded by this country to become successful while ignoring service and defending the very pillar on which their wealth is built. 

The military children who have to grow without  fathers killed in battle and their mothers told by Mitt Romney that they believe that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to care for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing.” 

Baby whisperer

 President Obama since in office have had some unique moments with children especially babies, he has been called a baby whisperer on several occasions. If voting for either of these candidates depended on how children respond to them publicly President Obama probably would win hands down. We do not vote on a child's momentary reaction because as parents our young ones have their moments even with us.

"Looking Ahead"

"Deny President Obama a second term in office"

Congress will come back to their Part Time Jobs this Monday, there is much work to do, it is high time congress stop concentrating on the President and start working for the American people. Since Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell declared on December 7th 2010 that his primary responsibility as leader of the senate is to, "deny President Obama a second term in office", a most preposterous statement by a Elected Leader in Government, the problem is Senator Mitch McConnell, you have been successful derailing the Presidents Jobs agenda but Americans will hold the Republicans accountable for their obstruction in the elections of November 6th.

 "Senator Mitch McConnell joined in the conspiracy cooked by elements in the Republican Party including Newt Gingrich, Leaders of the House Republicans, Republican Governors, Lobbyist, Leaders of the Business Community including Banking, elements of the Chamber of Commerce the night of the inauguration of President Obama not to support any Legislation Tabled by this President leaving him and his Legislative agenda mired in rising unemployment and 0 growth in the Economy and a failed Presidency". 

To his credit the President had Democratic Majorities in the Senate and house of representatives. The house of representatives with a democratic Majority was fine but the Presidents challenges was in the Senate where the Republicans killed the Presidents agenda with the Filibuster. Legislation after Legislation supporting the Presidents agenda were passed by the Democratic House of Representatives without support from Republican house members but were killed in the Senate through Senate Republican Filibuster. 

The real question with the Congress coming back to their Part Time Jobs $165.000.00 one hundred and sixty five thousand dollar a year Jobs is weather these Elected Public Servants will stop worrying about President Obama's Job and find a way to get millions of Americans working again. President Obama will face the electorate in 59 days and the American People will make the decision weather or not to rehire him as President he has his Job, "It is time congress fold up their sleeves light the Lantern and get to work doing what it takes to put Americans back to work. Congressional Republicans have 59 days to do what they have refused to do since November of 2010. There is a silence in the Electorate, if Congress does not act there will be Hell to pay at the Ballot Box".

Since December 7th 2010 after the mid Term elections the Minority leader of the Senate Republican Mitch McConnell  decided to punish unemployed Americans denying them the opportunity of having a Job in order that President Barack Obama loses his Elected Job.
