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".

"The National Rifle Association cannot defend a AR7 Rifle as a recreation Firearm.
Bloomberg advocate for aggressive Gun control Law.
A young man armed with an Assault weapon with a Magazine capable of carrying 42 Rounds of Ammunition walked business like into a Crowded Cinema in Aurora, Colorado released what is thought to be some kind of Chemical then raised his weapon and started wantonly shooting innocent citizens. Since the barrage of Gun fire stopped there has been, silence! a unbearable silence by the National Political Leaders in our Country and the National Rifle Association defender of Gun rights. The Lone recognizable voice to raise the Question of Gun Control is the Mayor of New York City, His Honor Mr Bloomberg, Mayor Bloomberg's call for engaging the Country in a conversation is not new, but the mayor is no longer running for Public Office.
The organisation responsible for the shooting, the National Rifle Association has declined Public comment on the brutal slaughter of 12 innocent Citizens and various degrees of injury to 59 other people. The injury is not only those physically inflicted by this 24 year old young man, the injury to the relatives including mothers and fathers, wives and girlfriends, sons and daughters, the immediate Aurora community and the further stain on this Nations recklessness with guns. It is evident that this has further imprisoned the citizens of this country not knowing, where and when it is safe for a family to spend an evening free of fear.
The National Rifle Association by its silence is admitting its Policy to put the false need for assault weapons as recreational firearm has caused serious harm to the Physic of this Nation. If the National Rifle Association thought Assault weapons in the hands of Citizens was a necessity for recreation they would be making Public statements condemning the use of Assault weapons in the Colorado Shooting. But their silence speaks Volume!
"The National Rifle Association cannot defend a AR7 Rifle as a recreation Firearm. The Leadership of the National Rifle Association is embarrassed by the most recent Colorado Massacre and in keeping with the 65% of Americans, must release your Republican congressional Captives to renew the Assault weapons Ban and support commonsense Firearm Legislation".
President Obama flew to Colorado to be with some victims of this horrific crime and their families, the minimum a President could do under the circumstances, granted the President is also running for re-election. This President has not shown the kind of Leadership expected on the matter of Gun Control even after the Gabby Gifford shooting. Mitt Romney who singed into Law an Assault Weapons ban while Governor of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts walked back his unyielding support for this courageous Law now that he is running for President as the Republican candidate.
The NRA will continue its happy dance avoiding questions until Americans forget this horrific crime committed at the hand of someone who purchased Firearm and Ammunition's without a trace.
A College Student walking in a New York City Park Stopped by New York City Police department could not produce an ID handcuffed and thrown in Jail for 2 days as reported by Yahoo News This sounds like Iran or North Korea and not New York and the United States of America. We just had 2 US citizens released from Iran Jails and had to pay $500.000.00 each. I wonder how much this Student in NY will have to pay. We just had a NYPD Captain docked 10 days vacation pay for Pepper spray of "Occupy wall Street Protestors" and coolly transferred home to Staten Island as reward for that infraction. Mr Mayor! it is High time this Madness Stop! we cannot be sending our military to Irag, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and all the other places to die protecting Freedom while NYC Law Enforcement abuse our Citizens Freedom Here in the USA! The question is, are we at the point in New York City, where, if criminals dont get you or make you uncomfortable the New York City Police Department Will?.
When the protest in Zuccotti Park "Occupy Wall Street" started the media was dismissive that the group did not have a clear agenda and it would end in failure. The group over time proved that there was much more to the protest than just the focus on Corporations having been bailed out by the Government return to solvency and now refusing to reinvest in the country and create jobs. Neither was it just the Major Banks who took serious risks with investors money, determine their own guaranteed Salaries and Bonuses backed by Boards of these institutions that consist of their friends. Neither was it the banks who got loads of money to lend to small business but hold onto these funds and are now implementing the most stringent requirements for small Businesses to qualify for these Loans, leaving small businesses with little or no operating credit. Neither was it the corrupt Credit Reporting Agencies that allowed some companies to be able to purchase the credit Ratings that favor them but went after middle class Families with a Guillotine using errors in credit report to lower credit scores.
Occupy Wall Street is all the above and more, this has been coming for a long time. In the most suttle way the rights of our citizens has been piece by piece removed from them. Police brutality and police heavy handedness since 911 have been wrapped in, "necessary to protect the Citizens from Terrorism".
Banks through over the past 10 years have unleashed themselves on their middle class customers charging exorbitant fees the most Gory is a $30:00 fee by Bank Of America to cash a check for a customer who has an existing Account. $35.00 fee for a Bank Transfer of $40.00 in the United States, $35.00 fee for a Certified Check all these transactions can be done at a Western Union for $10.00 or less. Before Technology all these transactions were done at the nominal fee of $5.00 and now with advanced technology these transactions cost 700% higher. The thing is only the middle class and the Poor pay these fees as the rich, "god bless them" are offered all kinds of silver, gold and diamond account and protection from these fees. There are middle class families that are entitled to these accounts and fees waved providing you have your Mortgage and a checking account with the Bank but most of these Customers are not told. This is why we need an effective Consumer Protection Agency.
This latest infraction By the New York Police Department and the foregoing only fan the flame of "Occupy Wall Street". Some years Ago I was on my way to Canada for a weekend vacation, presenting my necessary documents complete to Immigration at the Border. The Officer began asking some questions I thought unnecessary, I protested, I was then told if I didn't want to answer these Questions, "I should not come Canada because no one invited me". The office was so wrong I was invited by the, "Canadian department of interior in all kinds of advertisements telling me Canada was a great place for Vacation" and I should visit. Since then I have not been back to Canada.
If New York City Police Department continues to wantonly Pepper Spray Peaceful demonstrators while exercising their right. Arresting visitors and students without an ID when reasonable steps are available to resolve minor infractions, there are other Cosmopolitan City's people would want to visit and feel safe not from Criminals but the Police. "Occupy Wall Street" will be around for a long time, people will want to reverse this nation to the Home of the free.
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
Dylan Rattigan is a Popular talk show Host and has dedicated some time to Get Money Out of Politics through Constitutional Changes
Today we face a crushing burden of foreclosures, dropping incomes, and a financial elite that has bought our government. The elite consensus is powerful enough to prevent change, no matter who is elected. The situation seems, at least in electoral terms, hopeless. Yet, America has been here before, and has shown remarkable resilience in the darkest of times.
Wall Street from New York Harbor
So just how do we get the debate we deserve? How do we root out the corruption, greed, and fraud in our system? Clearly, the root of much evil in our system of government comes from the financing of political campaigns by powerful interests. And the Supreme Court has said that money is speech, and thus, protected by the Constitution. So we must pass a Constitutional amendment to speak back to the Supreme Court, and assert the primacy of government by the people.
I think you support the Republican view in some portion of your statement but be mindful we cannot have both ways.I do not support Abortion neither do Republicans and most Democrats, I do not support welfare neither do Republicans bearing in mind there is more welfare money and government Program money going to Republican leaning States than Democrats. My contention is how do we draw the line between the REPUBLICANS FORCING WOMEN TO HAVE BABIES they cannot afford forcing them onto the welfare roles and then complaining we have too many people on welfare and the Moral issue of Abortion.
Forcing mothers to have children they cannot afford is a moral issue and starving mothers with malnourished children creates an new issue. Mother and child or children will now enter the social services system where we must be provided medical and all the other services available to them.
I am not an advocate for Abortion I hate the thought of it neither am I an advocate for welfare. I have never benefited from it, I do not know what is involved qualifying for or receiving those benefits. I casually of know people are on welfare and for the years I know them their lives have not changed. I also know of people who benefited from welfare in the past and have weened themselves and their children and have gone on to lead successful lives.
Corporate America is the biggest welfare recipient and we seem to give them a pass. Giving a helping hand to those of our Citizens White, Blacks, Hispanics or any race who need it is a MORAL OBLIGATION. Where we have failed is not setting a framework to allow them to grow out of welfare.
"Welfare is a Temporary Benefit"
While we refuse benefits to our citizens in our own country our money is paying for those benefits to citizens in other countries. The US AID pays for health care dental, medical provide nutrition school uniform, books, birth, control providing Housing and every other human need to citizens of other countries all over the world. Successive US government for some 60 continuous years have supported these aid programs abroad while denying their own citizens.
"Comprehensive Heath Care to the Citizens of a Nation is not benefit but a Human Right".
The concern should not be the money spent on welfare because every penny of those funds go straight back in the economy. Let us think how we can make difference Leading people away from welfare and not forcing them to have children they cannot afford.
