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 Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) who does he speak for?

Rep. John Boehner, "Rep. Steve King comments are deeply offensive and wrong"!

Rep. Steve King  (R-Iowa)
Europeans were welcomed to the United States through Ellis Island and their names were forever etched in the history of their new country. Some europeans continue to live in the United states without ever becoming citizens of the country that welcomed them, granted those alive today are well into their eighties and nineties and enjoy the benefits of their labor as citizens of the United States.

The other notable migration to the United states were black people purchased as slaves and brought to the united states as slave primarily to work on farms but later worked on some of the most prominent monuments including the capital building and the white house. Republicans like Rep. Steve King of Iowa continue to deny the very existence of black people and their contribution to this great country.

The attack by Rep.Steve King on "DREAMERS" and the "dream act" that would allow young people including Hispanics, Asians including indians, west Indians and other nationalities brought to the United by their parents to become legal residents and eventual citizens is not surprising. These are sentiments are expressed in the work place in public places and in the general community by individuals who feel disenfranchised as educated and qualified minorities now participate in prominent jobs and decision making that affect the nation going forward.

This is Rep. Steve King thinking of these young people and he will not back down from it,
        
"Some of them are valedictorians and their parents brought them in. It wasn't their fault. It’s true in some cases, but they aren't all valedictorians. They weren't all brought in by their parents. For every one who’s a valedictorian, there’s another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they've been hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert". Rep. Steve King

Regardless of Rep. John Boehner rebuke he is the leader of the Republicans in the house of representatives and he allowed these deep resentments of minorities to fester and grow in his caucus Rep. John Boehner should have seen this national embarrassing statement coming.

Is the 4-h Club dying?

By 2020 the Jamaica 4-H Clubs will become the leading youth leadership organization in the Caribbean.


The goal of 4-H Club is to develop citizenship, foster youth leadership, responsibility and life skills of youth through experiential learning programs and a positive youth development approach. Though typically thought of as an agriculturally focused organization as a result of its history, 4-H Club today focuses on citizenship, healthy living, science, engineering, and technology programs

The foundations of 4-H Club began around the start of the twentieth century, with the work of several people in different parts of the United States. The focal point of 4-H Club has been the idea of practical mentoring programs for youth and hands-on learning, which came from the desire to make public school education more connected to rural life. Early programs tied both public and private resources together to benefit rural youth.

The 4-H Club  program aims to educate youth in arts and sciences and encourage fellowship through,community youth programs and service opportunities. With continued urban sprawl, 4-H Clubs continues to develop new projects like life skills for youth for its members well beyond the traditional agriculture, animal husbandry,  photography, conservation, cooking, public speaking, sports shooting , history, art, leadership program for youth and other life skills.


4-h membership hit an all-time high in 1974 as a result of its popular educational program about nutrition, Mulligan Stew, shown in schools and on television across the country. Today, 4-h clubs and activities are no longer focused primarily on agricultural activities, instead emphasizing personal growth and preparation for lifelong learning. Participation is greatest during the elementary school years, with enrollment in programs and activities peaking in the 4th grade.

The 4-H Pledge

"I pledge my head to clearer thinking,
My heart to greater loyalty,
My hands to larger service,
and my health to better living,
for my club, my community, my country, and my world."

The Jamaica 4-H Clubs is now in its 73rd year of existence and over that time we have distinguished ourselves as an organization to be reckoned with. Our reputation and our proven track record in training the nation’s youth is a standard not to be taken lightly. At this juncture, there has been a change of the guard in terms of leadership. On May 1, 2013 the mantle was transferred to me, so I have taken up the task of standard bearer. It is a task that I am deeply honored to receive and I humbly accept.

"Its all About PRESIDENT Barack OBAMA in the White House"

Obama's Election Night Phone Calls To Rep. John Boehner And Sen. Mitch McConnell Went Unanswered Because They Were Sleeping.  


Election 2012 President elect and Family

It is necessary to reintroduce the President on the united States to the world and the conservatives, Tea Party members and disgruntled republicans who still cannot believe Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States. It is also important to remind these groups of people Barack Obama was re-elected by the American people popular vote in a national election on t Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Importantly Barack Obama received 65,910,437 or 51.1% of the popular vote, Obama won 332 electoral votes he only needed 270 electoral votes to be President. Barack Obama is our President a fact that Congressional Republicans will soon better come to grips with.

Americans are waiting for congress to Govern, the time for "pussyfooting around is over" accept the fact that President Barack Obama does belong in the White House and like all other Presidents and their Family should enjoy honor of the home that office.

Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is the 44th and current President of the United States, the first African American to hold the office of President. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii, Obama is a graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he was president of the Harvard Law Review. He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree. He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. He served three terms representing the 13th District in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004, running unsuccessfully for the United States House of Representatives in 2000.

President Barack Obama does belong in the White House

Obama's Election Night Phone Calls To Rep. John Boehner And Sen. Mitch McConnell Went Unanswered Because They Were Sleeping.  In November 2012, The New York Times reported that following his election night victory speech, "Mr. Obama tried to call both Mr. Boehner and the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, but was told they were asleep."  [The New York Times, 11/7/12]


President Barack Obama with 4 other Presidents


Congressional Republicans Were "Too Busy" To Accept Obama's Invitation To A Bipartisan Leadership Meeting.  In November 2010, The Wall Street Journal reported: "After congressional Republicans said this week that they were too busy to accept President Barack Obama's invitation to a bipartisan leadership meeting today, the White House without fanfare announced the meeting had been postponed until Nov. 30 to accommodate the GOP's schedule." [The Wall Street Journal, 11/18/10] 


President Barack Obama gracious to his opponent.


Mitt Romney Was The First Losing Presidential Candidate Not To Attend Inauguration Since 1989. In January 2013, The Huffington Post reported that "an aide told NBC News that Romney was at his beach home in La Jolla, Calif., during Obama's inauguration. While Romney reportedly had 'no big plans,' the aide said it was "doubtful" that Romney would watch the ceremony. Romney was the first losing presidential candidate not to attend the inauguration since Michael Dukakis in 1989." [The Huffington Post, 1/24/13]


Nothing is better than a family in the white house.

When they moved to Washington, D.C., in January 2009, the girls started at the private Sidwell Friends School.The Obama's have a Portuguese Water Dog named Bo, a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy.

"Another Song of Freedom"


 
Freedom of a Community to Gather on Independence Day 2009, Free of Fear.

Freedom is courage to accept ourselves for who we are, freedom to appreciate that we may be a bunch of flaws, stitched together with good intentions that deserves love exactly as we are. Freedom means the freedom to see and recognize beauty in others without feeling the pain of our own perceived inadequacies or the resentment for someone else being different. Freedom is, accepting that we have a beautiful soul that isn't limited by labels. Labels like, Beautiful body , Educated, pretty, clever, fit, talented and artistic. Be courageous, because we deserve the freedom to be the wonderful soul we really are, rather than our society's interpretation of what we should be. Freedom is, to be the responsible Citizen of a  Nation, respecting the right of  each other to live Free of fear. Freedom is, our ability to see each other as equal rather than someone affixed with Political Labels that impinges us the acceptance, we want the same thing, a better Nation for us and our children.  Freedom to be you!
