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".

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.

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.

Bio Mitch McConnell

Addison Mitchell "MitchMcConnell, Jr. (born February 20, 1942) is the senior United States Senator from Kentucky. A member of the Republican Party, he has been the Minority Leader of the Senate since January 3, 2007. First elected to that position in 2006, he is the 15th Senate Republican Leader and the second Kentuckian to lead his party in the Senate.

Bowden Pen Maroons



Ambassabeth Cabins 
During the Summer of 2011 the Carr/Allen reunion visited Bowden Pen in the foot hills of the John Crow Mountain in Portland Jamaica. It was August 1st the day the Maroons (Aborigines) in Jamaica Celebrate their Emancipation from the British Colonialism.

 In the New World, as early as 1512, black slaves had escaped from Spanish and Portuguese captors and either joined indigenous peoples or eked out a living on their own.Sir Francis Drake enlisted several 'cimaroons' during his raids on the Spanish.As early as 1655, runaway slaves had formed their own communities in inland Jamaica, and by the 18th century, Nanny Town and other villages began to fight for independent recognition.

"Remembering of the past an antidote for the future". 



Ndyuka Maroon women with washing. Suriname River. 1955

When runaway slaves banded together and subsisted independently they were called Maroons. On the Caribbean islands, runaway slaves formed bands and on some islands formed armed camps. Maroon communities faced great odds to survive against white attackers, obtain food for subsistence living, and to reproduce and increase their numbers. As the planters took over more land for crops, the Maroons began to vanish on the small islands. Only on some of the larger islands were organized Maroon communities able to thrive by growing crops and hunting. Here they grew in number as more slaves escaped from plantations and joined their bands. Seeking to separate themselves from whites, the Maroons gained in power and amid increasing hostilities, they raided and pillaged plantations and harassed planters until the planters began to fear a mass slave revolt.

The early Maroon communities were usually displaced. By 1700, Maroons had disappeared from the smaller islands. Survival was always difficult as the Maroons had to fight off attackers as well as attempt to grow food.One of the most influential Maroons was Francois Mackandal, a houngan, or voodoo priest, who led a six year rebellion against the white plantation owners in Haiti that preceded the Haitian Revolution.

Emancipation Day is celebrated in many former British colonies in the Caribbean and areas of the United States on various dates in observance of the emancipation of slaves of African origin. It is also observed in other areas in regard to the abolition of serfdom or other forms of servitude.




Emancipation Park Kingston, Jamaica

On midnight of July 31, 1838 it was reported with great pride that many slaves journeyed to the hilltops to greet the sunrise of Friday, August 1, 1838 that symbolized a new beginning in their lives. When morning broke, large congregations joined in thanksgiving services held in several chapels and churches across the island.

Today, Jamaicans continue to celebrate Emancipation Day through the reenactment of the reading of the Emancipation Declaration in town centers particularly, Spanish Town, St. Catherine which was the seat of Parliament when the Emancipation Act was passed in 1838. The day is also widely observed as a national public holiday when all schools and public buildings are closed.

Hephezibah Baptist Church | Portland, Jamaica

Hephezibah Baptist Church one of the oldest buildings in the communities of Islington, Black rock and Castle has been the pillar of the community since 1949. The structure built of cut stones hewn from the neighborhood and as far away as terrains such as Happy Hill, Commodore and as close as Castle Comfort  Errol Flynn property in Boston Jamaica .

The Church was built through the generosity of the community laboriously sacrificed it members and a well served community. In the early fifties Hephezibah Baptist Church was the place that housed people that suffered the 1951 Storm and the 1954 storm. Today after many Storms Hephezibah Baptist Church has suffered her most serious setback and need your help.

My childhood church Hephezibah Baptist Church in Priestmans River Portland need your help, Hurricane Sandy removed its roof. This is a Picture of the Church in August 2011 on my last visit, the picture below represents what it look like today.



Hephezibah Baptist Church after Hurricane Sandy.


Whenever Jamaican Baptists talk about their early beginnings two significant points in history come to mind: 1783 and 1849. It was in 1783 that the first Baptist missionary arrived, a freed black slave from the USA and an ordained minister. In 1849 the Jamaica Baptist Union was founded. By that time, Baptist work was well established in the country with congregations in almost every parish and an enviable testimony of having played a leading role in the abolition of slavery (in 1834). 

Three of Jamaica's national heroes were Baptists George William Gordon, Paul Bogle and Nanny the denomination was in the forefront of addressing the educational, economic and social needs of the emancipated people. Baptist work benefited from a partnership with the Baptist Missionary Society (UK) which dispatched its first missionary to the country in 1814 and was instrumental in establishing, in 1842, the Jamaica Baptist Missionary Society, an agency to take the gospel to Africa. 

The Jamaica Baptist Union is very firm in terms of its autonomy with regard to missionary partners. As early as 1842 it declared its financial independence from the Baptist Missionary Society. The JBU itself has a history of sending out missionaries to various islands of the Caribbean and to Africa.

The Bible says the...

Bishop Eddie Long , leader of the 25,000-member New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Atlanta,  today denied the sexual allegations presented in four lawsuits against him, including from Colorado Springs resident Jamal Paris, 23.



You have people in the church suffering, hungry, thirsty, bitter, angry all because of life's stress, what on earth is the churches doing to assist these needy people!


 Most of the Pastors in our so called churches are just about getting rich and not preaching the word of god to their people. Some Preachers are corrupt languishing their lifestyles in the community they serve without guilt.The feeling that the members of their flock are obligated to pay for the lifestyle they enjoy is preached to them in the church without push back from its members.

Mitt Romney"s Flips and Flops the, "Blunt Amendment"

The White House policy requires employers to include contraception in their employees’ healthcare plans without charging a co-pay or deductible, but exempts churches and houses of worship. Religious-affiliated employers such as Catholic hospitals would not have to directly cover birth control in their healthcare plans, but their employees could still obtain it, without a co-pay, from their respective insurance companies.

The Blunt Amendment Creates a Huge Loophole, Allowing Employers and Plans to Use Religious or Moral Convictions to Eliminate Critical Health Care Services
The Blunt Amendment allows employers and insurance companies to refuse coverage of any health care service required under the new health care law based on undefined “religious beliefs or moral convictions.”  This creates a huge loophole in the new health care law’s coverage requirements.  For example, any corporation whose CEO opposes contraception based on his “moral convictions” could deny all coverage of contraception or any other service to the company’s employees.  Even more disturbing, a CEO’s view of “morality” could potentially include concern for the cost of a particular benefit.  Such broad, undefined refusals would result in millions of individuals losing vital health service coverage.
http://www.nwlc.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/blunt_amendment_fact_sheet_march_2012.pdf
Opponents of the Blunt amendment pointed out that the bill not only would have allowed employers to cherry-pick women's health care options based on moral beliefs, but it also would have rolled back some of the basic anti-discrimination protections in the Affordable Care Act. For instance, under the amendment, an employer could refuse to cover things like HIV/AIDS screenings, prenatal care for single mothers, mammograms, vaccinations for children and even screenings for diabetes based on objections to a perceived immoral lifestyle.

Flop!
“I’m not for the bill (the blunt amendment), but look, the idea of presidential candidates getting into questions about contraception within a relationship between a man and a woman, husband and wife, I’m not going there,” Romney answered.

Flip!

 “Of course, I support the Blunt amendment".

Flop!

“I didn't understand his question,” Romney said on a Boston radio show later Wednesday. “Of course, I support the Blunt amendment.” And in a statement Thursday, Romney praised senators who backed the measure.
Romney: You know, I made it very clear when I was being interviewed by George Stephanopoulos in a debate a while ago.



 Contraception is working just fine, let’s just leave it alone.

Republicans contend that the Blunt amendment, which is expected to come up for a vote in the Senate on Thursday, would reverse the national health-care law’s requirement that all employers, including religious-affiliated institutions, provide health coverage that includes contraceptive care at no co-pay cost to employees.

 “Governor Romney supports the Blunt Bill because he believes in a conscience exemption in health care for religious institutions and people of faith.”

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), came out in support of the measure Wednesday. But most national Democrats have hammered Republicans over the amendment, arguing that it would give employers broad discretion to deny their employees any type of coverage by citing the conscience exception

Fairness in Taxes

Mitt Romney chose Paul Ryan as his running Mate in the upcoming Presidential Elections. There are visible similarities, the most obvious is both are men, white, and each have beautiful families which until 2008 when Senator John McCain chose 1/2 term Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate temporarily changed the mentality of the Republican Party.



"I want to be your President but my Taxes is none of your Business'!
For Months Republicans and Democrats have encouraged Mitt Romney to release multiple years of his Income Tax Returns to allay concerns he may be hiding something with earning upwards of $20 Million annually but consistently pays less percentage on this income than the average American who earns $33 Thousand Dollars per year.

Mitt Romney from all account is a wealthy man and may be generous, he claim to donate 10% of his income to charity, without disclosure of his Tax returns the assumption is that the majority of those charitable contributions go to the Mormon Church. From the little disclosure so far the American people learn Mitt Romney pays 13% on his $21 million dollar income in 2010, the average American Pays between 28-38% on incomes from $33 Thousand to $600 Thousand Dollars. Most people under the $33 thousand income level today depending on their deductions could pay no Taxes due to several temporary tax cuts since 2009.


Have more Money pay less Taxes

To re-enforce the Income Tax disparity conversation Paul Ryan this week released his 2 complete years 2010 and 2011 income tax returns. We learn in 2010 on an income of $215 thousand dollars the Ryan's paid 16% Taxes and in 2011 on an income of $323 dollars taxes were assessed at 20%, the Ryan's paid more Taxes on less income than his Presidential Candidate who earned more income in one day than the Ryan's did in a year.Ryan's income of $538 thousand dollars in the last two years is Paltry compared to the $42 million Mitt Romney reportedly earn in the last two years.

"President Obama as part of his economic plan would raise Taxes whatever Americans earn over 1 Million Dollars per year. These income earners would pay the same taxes and enjoy the same benefits as everyone else up to that  million dollar and then the Taxes would be imposed".

Mitt Romney as part of his Economic plan would cut Taxes for all Americans by a further 20% that means Mitt Romney would pay even less on his $20 million income from early estimates this would bring Romney's Tax Bill to from estimates 0-2 1/2% Taxes and his running mate Paul Ryan Tax Bill to about 15% a not so bad deal.

"There is one fundamental problem with the Mitt Romney Tax reduction plan, the American Economy cannot afford another 20% Tax Cut including the richest Americans at this time if we did this the deficit would explode". 

Recently we found out that Americans and American Company's are paying less Taxes than any time in our history regardless of what the Politics insist. Secondly American and International Conglomerates who invest in America have more money ( cash in the bank) than any time in history.

Jamaica"s 9th Prime Minister must confront crime as #1 issue.

Hon Andrew Holness Prime Minister of Jamaica.

Today when Andrew Holness takes the oath of Office at Kings House and become her 9th Prime Minister, This should send a signal to those who have fought for freedom, won Freedom and those still fighting for Freedom it is Possible not easy but Possible.

One of the responsibility that has eluded us a nation since Independence is citizens of Jamaica does not see a personal responsibility in our nation future and this must be addressed. I did not know I had this  personal responsibility until later in life witnessing the release of Nelson Mandela from Prison. The understanding  that Nelson  Mandela at some point of his life made the conscious decision that some one had to make this sacrifice, he did, Black People in South Africa and the wider continent of Africa needed to be free. Nelson Mandela knew that took personal responsibility giving up what he thought was everything, making a massive sacrifice. Every Citizen of Jamaica must be reminded, personal Sacrifice matters.

At Independence Jamaican"s did not either understand or adapt the the idea that for the success of our young Nation to succeed this responsibility belong to every Citizen. After 50 years of Independence as citizens we still struggle with the that fact. Depending on our leaders Prime Ministers, Government Ministers, Members of Parliament and and others elected to lead bears these responsibilities.

Today opens a new Chapter in the future of Jamaica, a young 39 year old takes the daunting task of leading this Nation. This is a most difficult time for most nations across the world stricken in financial turmoil that has caused Economic chaos and civil unrest as a result the gap between the rich and poor widens. In Europe and the United States Conservative Governments see the removal of safety nets to the Poor, children, students and elderly as the answer to the world financial woes if this should continue it would create further civil unrest. This is not be the case because these safety nets were brought about at times when countries were going through the same circumstances as they are now and

Jamaican Lingo, Explained - CHACKA- CHACKA

Jamaicans Proud Lingo mi-seh-wah

The Jamaican Lingo a Proud Heritage.


Why Jamaicans so frequently "double-up" their words (Funny)
This is a "good-good" article...refreshingly inspiring and educational and, at the same time, funny.

Scroll down. Maybe you have some more expressions to add to the list.....Enjoy.

Doubling up our words


I would love for someone to explain to me why Jamaicans so frequently "double-up" their words. Has anyone at the University taken the time to study this curious phenomenon?.
Its obvious that some examples of this occurrence are just English words that we've gotten into the habit of saying twice, perhaps for the sake of emphasis. Perhaps it is easier to simply double-up a word than to find additional words to help emphasize or it's a part of a Jamaican penchant for deliberate over-exaggeration in our descriptions of even mundane things.

Other words appear not to be English at all and perhaps may have been passed down to us by our African, English or Spanish ancestors.

Consider the following examples:

Batta batta: To survive or merely get by. E.g. "How yuh stay Ralston?"
"Bwoy Lenny, mi jus deh yah a batta batta inna di recession".

Bumpy-bumpy: Very bumpy. Covered in bumps. e.g. "Gweh! Yuh face bumpy-bumpy like jackfruit!"

Cabba-cabba: Uncivilised people. "Is when Parliament get so full of cabba-cabba?"

Chacka-chacka: Untidy. Disorganized.

Cass-Cass: A noisy quarrel or controversy. (See Ray-ray) Studies have shown that the persons most likely to be involved in Cass-Cass are fool-fool, cabba-cabba people who enjoy the mix-up and ray-ray.

Deadly-Deadly: Unexciting. Boring. Conventional Jamaican wisdom is that deadly-deadly relationships often lead to infidelity. e.g. "Leroy, mi tyad ah the deadly-deadly lovin. If yuh nuh careful yuh ah go find Joe Grind inna yuh life!"
Degeh-degeh: Singly. By itself.

Dibby-dibby: Not worthy of respect. A dibby-dibby girl is best avoided. A dibby-dibby, licky-licky girl should be shunned like the plague.

Dooguh-dooguh: Sexual intercourse. What's popularly known today as "daggering". (Popularly known in places where it hasn't been completely banned by the Broadcasting Commission, that is.)
Fenkeh-fenkeh: Second rate. Lacking vigor or vitality. See pyah-pyah.

-Fool-fool: More than ordinarily foolish. Bush-level stupidity.

Good-good: Pristine, high quality. e.g. "Bwoy is mi good-good scarf yuh tek a shine shoes?!" Or "Imagine! Dis dutty bwoy go breed di parson good-good daughter!"

-Gwaany-gwaany: To be boastful. A show-off.

Henka-henka: To pine for/long for. e.g. "The Olint money gone! It nuh mek sense yuh ah henka-henka after it!"

-Labba-labba: To speak or talk excessively. Also known as "chatty-chatty".

Lay-lay: To waste time, procrastinate. E.g. "Instead of working yuh deh a lay-lay pon thingsjamaicanslove.com a day time!".

Licky-licky: Greedy. Licky-licky people frequently meet tragic ends. e.g. "Is licky-licky him did licky-licky, why Linval go eat off the young Ackee dem an dead".

-Meckeh-meckeh: Thick in texture or consistency.

Nuff nuff: Large/plentiful in number. E.g. "Yow, yuh tink dis recession is a play-play ting? Is nuff-nuff people gwine lose dem work when Government cut public sector jobs".

One-one: Singly. One by one. "Myrtle, yuh nah see Pastor Brown an di church sister dem? Him jus a jus a pick dem off, one-one; like ripe mango offa di tree!" There is also "two bi two".

Play-play: Not serious or meaningful in nature. E.g. "Junior, mi tyad of the play-play relationship. Why we can't get married?".

-Pyah-pyah: Second rate. Of inferior quality. See fenkeh-fenkeh

-Ray-ray: Controversy, pandemonium.

Sawka-sawka: To treat roughly, often in a sexual context. e.g. "No Elva, last night mi haffi stop him half way through an ask him how him a sawka- sawka di ting so!".

-Wagga-wagga: Fat. Obese. The other end result of licky-licky behavior.

-Walla-walla: To wallow or indulge in.

Warra-warra: The definition of "warra-warra" is a little hard to pin down but it seems to refer to a person's "private parts". As in: "Dutty bwoy, don't mek ah tell yuh bout yuh warra-warra!" Or "Move yuh warra-warra from side ah mi".

Woi-woi: Far away. Remote.
(N.B. Sometimes we even "triple-up" our words - e.g. "I can't believe him leave you and the baby without a penny? Jus so-so so?).

The Jamaican talk is also reflected in its Music.Famous Reggae Artists like Bob Marley use much of the Jamaican lingo in his music. While Jamaican lingo May seem to be difficult to understand by some It it is a part of its deep proud culture.

Just as the developed world celebrates the magnificence of its cultural mix. Jamaicans are extremely proud of its English, Spanish, African and Irish background where its language and heritage came from.
