What would Queen Marie Say

If you think we have rough politics here, take a look at Romania.
Three weeks ago Feb. 1. 2017 The Romanian Government lead by PM Sorin Grindeanu which was only elected in December 2016, an ordinance repealing corruption enforcement regulations. Now before the Clintons, or any other western Politicians prepare to leave for this Balkan Paradise the Ordinance will (or would have ) only applied to damages not exceeding $30,000. This was later amended to included proceeds from corruption which did not exceed $47,000. I am assuming here that the 30K was for fines imposed and 47K was for the value of graft, but hey it’s Romania so it could be both. BTW the government has since rescinded the ordinance after continued, intense and often violent protests some lead by the President (of a different party the PM) but announced they were introducing regulations in Parliament.

 The new regulations, in the in interests in curbing prison overcrowding, would provide amnesty for those who have been assigned prison terms of less than 5 years. Reduce by half those who are parents of young children, pregnant women, and those over 60. How many folks would this effect? Well, 15% of all MP’s elected in 2012, hundreds of government officials, and an additional 2000 folk currently under investigation for corruption.

Why should we care? after all Romania “is a far away country…people whom we know nothing about”  One of the overt reasons why people in the UK voted for Brexit was Romanian immigration (not Commonwealth) through the use of the free movement of labor in the EU. regardless of how one feels about Brexit - I for one am pro-Freedom Wins - the effect of high levels of corruption in an EU nation has an effect on the trajectory of the entire Western Community. Not sure what the answer is here but it is very interesting to keep this in your memory next time some stupid drunken college SJW says “everything in Europe is better”

For Every Fetish there is a Pervert or Milo What Have you done, Now ?

                                For Every Fetish, there is a Pervert or Milo What Have you done Now?

Oh, Milo what have you done now? or more precisely Oh Milo what have you said now? Is what he said a hanging offense? Well, yes it seems so maybe not a physical hanging offense but certainly a career hanging offense.  One may lose one's job, be denied apartments, have their kids denied preschool, lose their business, turned down by coop boards etc. all because one holds, speaks,  or even has religious beliefs contrary to the "established norms". What was his crime exactly?

At first glance, it looks as though he questioned our society's attitude regarding pedophilia.  Now let me be perfectly clear here I abhor pedophilia, and pederasts I think they should be executed! Not castrated, chemically or otherwise, not imprisoned,  not rehabilitated, executed! in the most cost-efficient way possible. "There was a hateful video that was disseminated on the internet " Susan Rice call your service where Milo (I am not writing out Mr. Yiannopoulos ) This interview implied that Milo condoned pedophilia. This is a lie - I have watched the video being disseminated  It is amalgamation with clipped editing where the contents of and the Milo's appearance on  the Joe Rogan #702 Sept 30, 2015  where he talked about how he lost his virginity when he was 13/14  -  and a second video,   The Drunken Peasants January 4th, 2016 )  where the previous conversation was recalled and later a completely different topic regarding the included the nature of consent between graduate students and college professors through  selective editing and clipping of the between two separate shows appearances and three distinct conversations became  one  in which it seems that Milo condoned pedophilia!

WTF

Milo was talking about how he lost his virginity, how he was abused by older men - Milo was talking about himself, his experience, his consent. Now one may believe that at 13/14 no one not even Milo is capable of consenting to sex - I know I do - even Milo says he supports the consent laws as is. Various new outlets - the usual suspect CNN, Huffington, Slate etc have decided to take the fake tape and run with it as if it were news. Why would they do this is it a high tech lynching of an uppity "Dangerous Faggot" - who dared to speak views contrary to the defined orthodoxy?  Could this have nothing to do with Milo per see but part of the campaign to slow the DT administration down,  first Candy Crowley, then Flynn, now since they cant go after the administration they go after its' public supporters? In the last 48 hours Milo has lost his job, endorsements, speaking engagements, and book deal. He has made a public mia culpa too bad Oprah is not still on the air he could have done an Oprah walk of shame.  

Maybe it is all about Milo. Milo who has dared say what has been unspeakable that given his choice he would choose not to be gay. Milo who despite being abused by a Catholic Priests gave a 1.5-hour talk titled "The Catholic Church is Right about Everything"  Milo who has dared to state that for his own survival he must be Islamophobic. Milo who while claims to love women and stand for equal rights is opposed what he calls modern postmodern feminist fascism. 

Or is the pearl-clutching, bun tightening reaction about something else? Is it about patting ourselves on the back making us self-secure in our virtue. Or at least our virtue signaling, we all feel better and safer in our own self-righteousness that at least we would never dream of saying the things he said - even though he did not say them! We live in a time and a culture where in my lifetime what was porn hidden in a trunk in my brother's room has become advertising. Public schools providing sex ed in primary school to students younger than when Milo was assaulted. Public institutions, large corporations, NCAA and even NFL threaten sanctions against states which want to ban grown men dressed as women from sharing bathrooms with girls.   None of the great and the good, the celebrated, and lauded have lost anytime gloated over the fall of Milo and the striking of poses of outrage and shock. This is despite giving their own the  Allen's, Polanski's, and Dunham's and Lord Knows who else in their milieu a pass, lifetime achievement, and Emmy awards. The comfortable righteousness of CPAC  and other "conservatives" who distance themselves from the falling Milo star - yet support the Ted Nugent's off this world.  Now let's be clear I have not given Milo a pass,  he did speak using gay jargon - which means something completely different to the straight world. Much in the same that ethnic minorities will use words amongst ourselves which we would feel anger and outrage if anyone else did. But even here I must point out that those words were takes out of context, repackaged, and weaponized against him. All the time forgetting that Milo was the 13/14-year-old boy who was abused. He was the victim, and now just for being what he is and thinking the way he does he is being made a victim again.

Madonna Made Me A Lady GA GA Fan

                                               Madonna Made Me A Lady GAGA Fan

Like most people my age, Madonna was part of my popular culture consciences.  I must admit I did not even know who Lady Gaga was until about three years ago, even then I got her all wrong. When I saw her slithering across a magazine cover I asked “that’s Lady GAGA? I am sure her father His Lordship can’t be happy with her behavior.” My son simply smiled and told me she was from New York and went to the Sacred Heart School. Really I replied, so glad I am the father of a son and not a daughter.  That cover was all the Lady Gaga I ever needed to know, or know about until at a party,  folks were talking about the feud between Madonna and Lady G and how Mo referred to LG’s music as “derivative”. Again,  I did not pay this much attention since unless you are a cave-dwelling Neanderthal in north France all art, is derivative.

For folks my age Madonna - pre Vogue - was the quintessential party music. Let me share a dark secret I spent my late adolescence as a “Club Kid”. By day I was a Topsider, Crew Neck sweater, khaki-wearing, East Coast, Uptown, Preppy. However at Night, the Topsiders became boots, the Crewneck sweater became a T-Shirt, the trousers became the tightest pair of black 501’s an underneath a red leather Jockstrap. By Day the GoGo’s Bananarama, and Simple Minds with a touch of Smokey Robinson (it can happen in daylight too you know). At Night, it was Billy Idol, The Clash, The Smiths and yes I must admit Techno - Hey I lived in Europe for a minute - During the day "Reagan, Thatcher, and Opus Die", at night, Blondie, The Smiths, and The Smiths. AHHHH BACK IN THE DIZZAY, Madonna worked in both of these worlds! I can even remember my mother bouncing her head to “Dress you up in my Love”. Regardless of how dull the party or the people attending a Madonna Album made everybody get up and dance.

I was introduced to Mo, on a date. I choose the Restaurant, she chose the movie. The movie (I guess today I should say FILM ) chosen was “Desperately Seeking Susan” Now I was not dating a wannabe, nor did I ever become a real fan - never bought a Mo album; years later another date  dragged me to see “Truth or Dare” So, while not a Madonna fan per see I was Madonna aware. Mind you there were other pop singers I enjoyed a lot more than Miss Ciccone, or Mrs. Sean Penn.
Cindy Lauper, Queen Latifah, and yes the comeback Rosemary Clooney (George’s Aunt), as one gets older and tastes evolve and develop so did Cindy and Queen Latifah  Mo's music seems to have remained in the bubble gum phase of development. Here's the thing,  CL and QL  can actually sing.  Listen to their grown-up albums CT’s version of "At Last" or "Hymn to Love" will mellow you out like a blunt. QT’s cover of great American standards makes you proud to be an American - it’s a blast!! Her version of “I’m Gonna Live Until I Die” while not Sammy’s, Frank’s or Dean ’s transports you back to days when people dressed for dinner.  The soulful rendering of "California Dreaming" is like hearing it for the 1st time all over again
But I digress

Like I said I was never a big Fan, But I  could envision liking Mo, as  Los Vegas act a sort of glitzy Susan Anton (remember her) Then came Jan 21, 2017, I am not going to talk about the merits of the event suffice it to say, that day then Madonna had her Sinaend O’Conner moment. I am not a “pearl clutcher” in any way of the word but DAYUMN LADY blowing up The White House! You don’t even live in this country any longer!! This is to your credit I have to say I wish more celebrities would keep their vacate promises, I am sure the thought of Lena Dunham leaving drove at least one state into the arms of DT. Contrast with Lady G’s Super Bowl performance yes she got her message across to those who were looking for one, but she kept the show as halftime entertainment of a football game. Nothing more. Yes, the garment was a bit too revealing and the show was a bit too NC17 for my middle age sensibilities, my red leather JS has been long replaced by red boxers. I actually found myself dancing, yes dancing like a young man again. “YOU and me can write a bad romance” I can actually envision LG evolving to sing the music I now listen to. While I can’t image listening to the sultry sounds of her Ladyship while sipping a gimlet and wearing a Dinner Jacket. I can image asking in the not too distant future  “ is that Lady Gaga!?” if I stumble upon her rendition of “Nice and Easy”.

It is the difference between Sex and the City and Girls but the two singers have chronologically switched places. Both started as Girls but while Madonna has remained there in a pathetic attempt to remain relevant to Lady G’s demographic. Lady G may be poised to become latter seasons of SATC
                                         -BTW I have not seen any of the Movies-

The Russians are Here The Russians are Here

                                           Elections are not all The Russians Hacked

Funny how despite the facts that the DNC and the Clinton campaign rebuffed the FBI’s effort to work with them in order to secure electronic communications (while the RNC and Trump For President did) and the fact that Senior members of the Party and the Candidate failed to secure their servers, or announced their passwords to the public. The American Security services and the Left are running with the circumstantial but still as of yet unproven story that The Russian Intelligence service tried to influence the outcome of the American elections!

Duh, Of course, Russian’s did,  as they should - As we continuously try to influence the outcome of elections all over the world. President Obama’s utterances on Brexit, dispatching political operatives to Israel The US has interfered in elections/democratic process of allies, adversaries, or any nation where we had significant interests (including Russia) continuously since the War.  From Italy1948  through Russia the USA (not counting open military or intelligence coups) has interfered in as many as 81 elections from 1945 through 2000.  Indeed, a significant contribution to the Crisis in Ukraine was American interference in the Ukrainian political process resulting in the ouster of the pro-Russia (or should one say realistic - look at a map) government with a pro-Nato one.
The USSR (and Russians), not to mention the UK, France, China etc have also interfered or attempted to influence election outcomes all over the world including the USA  as recently of 2016 electoral process. Perhaps if the Russians would produce shows like Downton Abby, we would be more forgiving (the latest version of War and Peace does not count it was a UK Production - that bore some resemblance of the book or at least the Cliff Notes) But I digress. If I were a Russian and my security services were NOT trying to influence the outcome of American or for that matter any Western election I would expect them to be fired at the very least (Gulaged if possible!). As a citizen of the USA I  expect,  demand that our Government take Cyberwarfare, and foreign intelligence operatives more seriously! I would also expect the Parties and candidates to take FBI warnings about hacking seriously a work with them to block it!  Are The Dems are so arrogant, filled with such hubris, have their swollen head so up the privileged asses that they ignore FBI warnings?  Maybe Debbie Wassermann Shultz's hair is too big to fit.

Again as far as we know there are no direct links to Russian Intelligence services just strong circumstantial evidence. Yet folks advocate adding further stress to an already strained relationship sans definitive evidence. BTW is there a record of Russian Intelligence operations behaving so clumsily that the leave a trail of breadcrumbs to the door of the Kremlin? Could it possibly be some other actor who left those crumbs? Perhaps a nation which does not want us to address currency manipulation? Or copyright infringement, or industrial espionage, or dumping products, intellectual property theft, investment extortion? Maybe this nation knows that our elites have made so much money off its corruption and off course thanks to the policies of the last thirty years (can’t blame this all on Obama) we are in such hock to them for trillions. Do you think there could be a motive to undermine the legitimacy of a  President who wishes to challenge the present status quo?

 Or is it Possible that an estranged  ally whose  relationship with us had been strained to the breaking point, an Ally to whom’s greatest existential threat we have bee ass kissing for the last eight years, This threat to whom We sent the almost 200 billion dollars in unmarked bills as a lovely parting gift from the outgoing administration, An Ally where WE HAVE OPENLY INTERFERED THEIR ELECTIONS and off course supported the losing side! HMMMMMM? I'm not accusing but there are plenty of suspects in this drawing room.

However, if we assume that the intelligence community is correct in their assessment (despite not providing proof, where are those WMD’s BTW) That was all last week news for this week look at what the MSM refers to as spontaneous expressions of outrage by the American public of Moslem Bans (which there is none), Appointments, -all in the mainstream and College speakers on tour  who disagree with progressive agenda.  not content with " deplorables" are labeled haters and their perfectly sound opinions hate speech! And once again as American exercise their right to peacefully assemble and practice their free speech (remember free speech is as much the right to listen as it is to speak) hooligan’s attack. Mobs attack young people bodily, destroy property,  set fires and riot. All this as the police look and do nothing, again remember San Jose!  All of this as the press refers to the mob as protesters and the speaker as “Troll”, “Hate Speaker”. CNN even goes so far as to blame the speaker!! not the crowd! All this as the police does stand aside and do nothing - under orders from the Mayor of Berkeley who joined in the name-calling via twitter (he later expressed regret and condemned the violence, would have been better and less costly if he had not restrained his officers from stopping the violence in the first place!) I find it hard to believe that this is still the USA where people can be physically accosted, property destroyed all for thinking, speaking and hold a contrary political opinion ! An opinion which was popular enough win 306 electoral votes and over 1000 elections throughout the nation over the past eight years!  Is this the same country that allowed the KKK to march peacefully in Skokie Illinois? I submit to you that UC Berkley was a  political “Kristallnacht” and Jesse Arreguin, the Mayor of Berkley is the Julius Lippert, (Mayor of Berlin 1937-1940) of our time. A little too far? Well, I will go further,  CNN’s (and other MSM) reporting on the events in Berkeley is really the new  Propaganda Ministry of the Left.

Julius Lippert

                                           

       
















What does this have to do with Russian Hacking you ask?  Well, we all now know that the Ole KGB etc infiltrated, sought to influence and contributed financially to the many of the progressive movements of the American(and Western) left from CPUSA, through Liberation Theology, Nuclear Freeze etc. We also know that They USSR sought to use these movements to politically undermine western remove in the Cold War and desirable political regimes in the West. We know this as a result of documents obtained in eastern Europe after the fall of the Soviet Empire. We also know that Media, Academia, popular culture, even The Church were all influenced if not comprised in these efforts. Now, this is pure speculation on my part. But If you hold that the Old KGB infiltrated and exerted at least some  influence in the direction of Western especially progressive institutions in the past; and the leader of Russia is former head of the KGB is it only logical to query that he has dusted off some old tools updated them secured financing and has deployed them? I'm just asking as we order another round.

Bigot is, as Bigots does

I was so looking forward to writing about Holy Women, NUNS, Sisters, and Misogyny looking forward to taking a break from Presidential politics and move on the something else.

Then came that major address / political ad on bigotry when one candidate accused the other of being a racist, by virtue of some of his fringe supporters, accusing [him of EMBRACING THEM(FC) or at the very least not denouncing them again. Of questioning the Presidents minimum qualifications to run (although questioning the qualification of other was not deemed racist), while she herself opened the door on this question when she ran against the President. I guess when I do it its called vetting when you do is racist!

In addition, a week later came the accusation, later clarified but not revoked that millions of Americans are “deplorable” Are either of the candidates' Bigots? I do not think so I hope not but the ole leftist dog whistle of accusing anyone who not only disagrees with you but even questions your failed policies must be a racist. While I am sure that the frequency of the accusations from the left has become such old hat have lost its all but its shock value. It does have the effect of flashing a shiny object at the short attention spanned press corp, and providing the typing are mo the DNC (CNN, NYT, MSNBC etc.) talking points for the week. It also seems to trigger in the voting public an intellectual of civic laziness. Instead of doing our public policy homework we can simply charge the opposition with racism cite the gossip dressed as fact page of the Huffington post The left uses it to stop conversations about policy (along with misogynist, homophobe, ‘ racist, nazi, nativist, xenophobe, etc) Well it looks like "that ole dog just won’t hunt” Which is too bad because the political system in this country is riddled with all of the ills and they are for the most part on the left. This instance on race-based ideological purity means the charge of racism will have less value over time, leading to less service for REAL Victims of Racism.

While watching the news we saw an HRC Add calling out DT a Bigot. as my jaw dropped and I NEARLY Spilled my drink!! My first thought was “this woman has nothing left to say” How can you hold DT accountable for who vote for him; he has not embraced these folks. You have embraced policies which are racist even genocidal. I do not want to deconstruct every accusation since other and better writers than I Have addressed that, nor do I want to engage in an overall counterattack of Mrs. Clinton I will leave that to Mr. Trump. But what I do want to do is throw my opinion into the ring of conversation on race and politics. Unless we wish to descend into tribal politics which will not serve the country at all.We should as clinically as possible look at policy and practice to determine whose policies are in fact racist. In the end, I don't care about motivation I care about results.

The most basic opportunity policy anyone can discuss in our society is education. The US spends more money per capita than any other country in the world. Yet the results become more and more abysmal each year. Basically, it is a declining return on investment the more we spend the lower our test score becomes. I recall reading that the state of California determines how much prison space is needed based on third-grade reading levels the fewer eight-year-olds who read at grade level determine how much prison space will be needed 16 years later! Yet HRC proposals are all targeted toward more funding for teachers union, more funding for brick and mortars school (no amounts given nor schema to pay for it ) and two billion dollars In addition, funding  providing $2 billion in support to schools to reform overly punitive disciplinary policies, calling on states to reform school disturbance laws, and encouraging states to use federal education funding to implement social and emotional support interventions." https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/

Again sans word on where the billions come from and this is only K-12 !! for others there is loan forgiveness free tuition at State and community colleges we are talking 10's of billions of dollars, which will be provided by some vague scheme to tax the rich by ending loopholes. Aside from the constitutional questions Yes where does the Federal government get the Authority to do this? And the practical question should not the states be in the business of regulating state institutions? None of her policies address the question of what to do with little Johnny, Juan, or Dwayne today, this fall well I suppose if we wait long enough her husband's drug laws will solve the problems for us.  Of course, they take the decision making authority out of the hands of parents and into the hands of the great liberal social worker, bureaucrat, government regulator. Why should not the children of the inner city (aka Black and Hispanic) have the same education choices as other children or most importantly why should their parent not make these choices?

DT is also talking about spending 10's of billions of dollars on education. Unlike HRC, DT policy is to reallocate existing dollars not raising taxes for new dollars! He points out that we already spend as much if not more than most of the world per capita but with diminishing return. He advocates taking this money and putting in the hands of the states (as per the 9th amendment) and wait for it .... the actual parents and per both the 10th amendment and natural law. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/education/

How does this policy reveal the inner working of a bigots mind? The assumption on the one hand that the federal government knows what is better for you than you do. And that the only criteria for this assumption is class. You Blacks cannot know how to or may not even wish to properly educate your own children so the state must make these decisions for you. 

Taxes and the size of government People accuse DT of not being specific, they are obviously too lazy to go to his website or are simply repeating the lies from the DNC's ministry of Propaganda (ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, PBS even sometimes Fox news) HRC positions are platitudes, not policy and even the platitudes ignore history and economics.  What it boils down to is HRC wants to raise taxes on the rich and corporations an then take that money to expand the size of government through increased regulation. We all know that more government means less freedom, but the nitty-gritty of this plan is higher corporate taxes! Corporations do not pay corporate taxes WE DO. The increased costs of taxes and regulations are passed on to the consumer; placing a regressive tax on those least able to pay. In other words, HRC wants to take away your liberty by expanding government, place more debt on your children and grandchildren by deepening the deficit and have you pay more for goods and services as corporations pass their costs on to you through higher prices, smaller sizes, or higher service fees. We know this already, how is this racist? As you hold to the Liberal myths about who the poor are, then the effect of forcing them to pay a higher portion of their income for the same goods and services is racist.  DT's tax and economic policies are to foster economic growth which raises wages naturally, provides jobs naturally and gives those of us with the least amount of options more freedom to forge our own financial futures. In addition, It is thought that this new corporate tax policy would mean that large American corporations which have been holding or exporting profits  overseas will repatriate trillions (as many as 13 trillion) back to the Good Ole USofA that is a start in the dent of the Grecian style deficit that the policies HRC and her confreres advocates have left us!!

Lowering business and personal taxes, reducing the size have to lead to economic growth, expanding GDP, and prosperity every time it /they have been enacted not just here but everywhere, there is even a word for "Thatcherism". Thatcherism has lifted more people out of poverty since in inception than any other competing economic philosophical construct. India, Brazil (until they gave it up) China, Ireland The UK The US, the list goes on and on ) Expanding the size government with the concomitant loss in personal freedom, has had an opposite effect Venezuela, Sweden, Russia, Cuba, call your service!! The why is beyond economics even politics, it is an issue of liberty. Progressives see liberty as the way they manage the freedom of others i.e slaves, immigrants, you and me constrained only by power. Conservatives, see liberty as the freedom to control our own lives restrained by the ones ability to lessen the freedom of others, and most importantly natural laws which are endowed by The Creator. This worldview is reflected by conservative policies of the government not taking your wealth without due process, therefore removing the incentive to create more wealth. This is immoral, and the people to suffer the most from the immoral government are the weakest people in that society. In our society that means Black Americans.

Lastly but not least - the reason why this has taken so long to write is that I get too emotional about this point, which always seems to go unsaid or unasked. That is Abortion and Infanticide. HRC holds that the unborn child is not entitled to any rights, she also holds that the child may be killed at any time during a pregnancy and even for some unspecified time after birth This woman advocates unrestricted abortion and she wants you to pay for it. She wants your Church to change its dogmas about the sanctity of life and she wants Planned Parenthood to sell the body parts So I suppose, to her  Black lives do matter - for their parts. The most chilling thing I have ever seen was HRC with glee accepting the Margret Sanger award. When the Nazis needed a consultation regarding eugenics they called in Margret Sanger. That woman advocated genocide of the Black and Brown population referring to them a "weeds". More than anything else this is the litmus test of who is truly a bigot. I am reminded of the Godfather movie when a  don who wanted to keep the lucrative business of heroin traffic thought while one should keep it away from kids and playgrounds we may sell to the blacks "they have no souls".

 In order to make slavery work in a  Judaeo Christian world  non white peoples  had to be dehumanized (2/3 human  believe) In order to reestablish Progressive control of over the South Black Americans  had to lose their rights to vote, to  engage in successful family and economic wealth building - and be segregated from society American apartheid or Jim Crow. In order to legitimize progressive philosophy Jim Crow (not to mention federal income tax) had to become national practice, it did under the Great Progressive Woodrow Wilson(D). In order to dilute the potential power of the black vote (I  say potential because as long as Black Americans refuse to exercise that power and hand over votes to one party), We have to replace them with new Americans (along with their jobs, businesses, and neighborhoods). More black men are killed by abortion than every other method combined. In the City of New York, more babies are aborted than are actually born! In DC Abortion kills more Black babies than all other cause of infant mortality combined. Any wonder why PP "showers" are usually in poor neighborhoods?

If Bigotry IS as Bigotry does How many Black Americans have seen their jobs, educational opportunities, and neighborhoods/ cities decline, in multi-generational poverty and violence under 30-50 years of Progressive Reichs? If Bigotry is as Bigotry does How many Black Americans will see the costs of living increase further deterioration of opportunity as our country becomes less free and more corporatist? If Bigotry is as Bigotry does How many will have the core values of their lives come under government scrutiny as Governments feel free to monitor the activities of Churches (mayor of Houston call your service) If Bigotry is as Bigotry does How many Black Americans will see the little political power they have become diluted as new Americans infiltrate our body politic? If Bigotry is as Bigotry does how is it that Genocide is seen acceptable shall we say Final Solution to the problems of poverty in the Inner City? If Bigotry is as Bigotry does who why shouldn't have the same rights as others to determine the education of your children and access to at least comparable resources. If Bigotry is as Bigotry does how many black children were killed by the Basket of Deplorable's vs HRC supporters?

Abrenuntias Satanæ? Et omnibus Operibus eius? Et omnibus pompis eius

In a recent opEd written to The Hartford Currant Miss Cullen Shaddox states her Baptismal vows will not only not allow her to vote for Trump but preclude him from speaking at a Catholic University! Where was all of this Holy Outrage when President Obama spoke at Notre Dame? Wait is that still a Catholic University? 

http://www.courant.com/opinion/op-ed/hc-op-shaddox-sacred-heart-allows-trump-0816-20160815-story.html

Miss Shaddox's position is such an embodiment of  the #nevertrumper Catholics. A noxious cocktail of bourgeois priggishness, SJW progressive elitism, and post conciliar Church Pharisaical ness. Girlfriend is so steeped in her Eastern elitism baked in progressive, SJW Orthodoxy anyone  who dares disagree with her must face triple charges of Bigotry, Misogyny, and (until Orlando) homophobia all encapsulated in two trigger words "Hate Speech"  In her case as in others of her ilk it is particularly offensive since she and others seek to shield their animus behind a Sacramental aegis. Using her Baptismal vows as a foil she claims that while  not comparing Mr. Trump to Satan incarnate she does compare his positions to spirit of hatred and evil. So much like the claptrap the USCCB tries to serve up on Sundays as the Catholic Social Teaching in "Spirit of the Council".  There is no mention of the religious war that The Obama/ Clinton  has unleashed on the Faithful excuse me "People of God"  nor Mr. Trump's commitment to Religious Liberty as opposed to Freedom of Worship. BTW If you do not think the Faith is under attack in this country try adopting a child through Catholic Charities in DC? Ops you can't thanks to ACA.  Little Sisters of the Poor call your service. So place you animus within the context of baptismal vows taking on your behalf "When I was baptized into the Church My godparents on my behalf ..... Look to your Confirmation vows when you became a Soldier of Christ. To  jump on anti Trump bandwagon is not an act of bravery when the it looks like all of forces of the world seem to be arrayed against him. It is this fact that should inspire you to at least read what the man writes and listen to what he says unfiltered by the noise of world. Our Lord warns to be wary of those who the world loves and Powers of this world seem to love to hate  him which should give us all pause and think hmm if The Democratic Party, The elites of the Republican Party the Liberal Elites in New York and Hollywood hate him then what is he doing so right. Could it be following the Constitution?  Being opposed to abortion?  Not getting the Untied States involved in foreign wars? (HRC voted for the 2nd  Iraq war DT was against it) Or maybe it is returning government to the great unwashed not kissed by the shores of North Atlantic and the warming waters of Southern California.

You Claim to not compare DT to Satan but that is exactly what you proceed to do. Alas it is a comparison not based of fact but on reports of fact,  which is gossip.  Maybe  Sister should review the Church's teachings on Calumny and Detraction for you? 

Donald Trump is a bigot

Your utilization of what is on the one hand the worse accusation the SJW can hurl  sans proof yes proof  which  is incumbent on  you as the accuser to provide.  Bigotry is insidious because it is hurled willy nilly by  the left and is an accusation which forces the accused to prove a negative. It this case it is Easy. You site DT call to ban Muslim Immigration and the targeting of one religion or ethnicity as bigotry. That is categorically NOT what DT has advocated.   Cursory research beyond the PC ( Politically Corrupt ) press like his web site would tell you what Donald Trump  proposes is a moratorium on Muslim Immigration from politically suspect countries with high levels of Islamic Jihadism. In addition, he wants to a moratorium on Immigration of Syrian refugees until they can be better vetted. The Pope statement on bridges not walls was taken and repeated out of context BTW there is a wall surrounding the Vatican, just like DNP primary in Philadelphia along with photo ID requirements which BTW are needed to enter the Sacred Heart University Library 

Bigot Much? 

It is the Duty of  nation's leader  Indeed, It is his primary Duty to defend the nation.  This is the secondary obligation of a Christian Prince. Yes, the US is not a Christian country and we are all the worse for it but he oath of office is "TO Preserve Protect and Defend the Constitution of the United States"  Not to oversee the protection of foreigners. If we cannot preserve our own national security, we are useless vis-a-vis projecting our values of self government and sovereignty and territorial integrity and assisting  the defense of others as well. That includes Syrian Moslems. ISIS has already announced that they will and have infiltrated the refugee diaspora. When your enemy  says he wants  try to destroy you believe him or do they not assign Mein Kamph at Sacred Heart. I believe ISIS over the Obama Administration any day because unlike this White House ISIS has kept its promises. 

A simple youtube search at what is happening in Europe since the governments of Germany, EU and France have colluded with the AP, Reuters, and Facebook to manage the flow of information regarding the effects of Muslim migration into Germany. Will tell you in graphic even horrific detail of the ill effects of this migration on the daily life of the people of Europe and the real physical peril the citizens of Europe face in the excersize of their daily lives.  do not believe them! In the pursuit of the primary function of government The Government of Germany has failed, again, The Government of France has Failed, again The People of United Kingdom and Italy are forcing their governments to reevaluate their failing policies. The People of the US should try to follow the example of The UK and not Germany. A  trip to Constantinople, yes I said it should remind you of the existential costs of getting this wrong.In addition the FBI, INS, NSA, EU, and the UN have all admitted that they cannot adequately  vet the Syrian refugees. Again I believe (or until two weeks  ago) take the word of the FBI over that of the White House and certainly Mrs.Clinton who wants to double the numbers.

Just because people want to live here does not give them the right to live here. The United States is under no legal nor moral obligation to accept immigrants of any variety. Yet we accept more immigrants than the rest of the world by far, nearly one million a year the next is Germany at 449,000  and that is not counting HB-1 visas and  illegals! Mr. Trump is on record as even wanting to increase the amount of legal immigration! So much for "Do not oppress a foreigner; you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners, because you were foreigners in Egypt." Your Accusation is false in fact, premise, and conclusion.  

As for the Mexican Rapist trop He did not call Mexicans rapist again in lieu of doing a little work to get it right you repeated a lie. What he actually said was  " The government of Mexico does not send us their best people, They send us their worse people amongst them are ....rapist. gang bangers ....not their doctors and lawyers" Again, there are hundreds if not thousands of you fellow citizens who would be alive today if the folks in power would only enforce existing law! this is a far cry from calling all Mexican rapists, it is an indictment of our government for not enforcing laws on the books, not the Mexican government or people. His words taken out of context then repeated as fact by his political opponents, the same people who brought us "Hands up don't shoot" see their fruits and you will know them. In charity I   refrain from calling it a outright liar but you should really check you facts before you bear false witness against your neighbor which Im sure is one of the "pomps" which you reject.

You hold that the Syrian Family your parish sponsors are good hard working people , oops not hard working "trying to get work, and learn English and secure long term medical help for their son" well in jumping the line they have deprived another worthy potential immigrant who waited on line, has been vetted, has learned English and does not have long term health issues from a spot in the US. By your own words what we have imported is not someone who adds to this country's wealth but who provides another competitor to someone who is already here for that job, displaced someone who is already here from that English class and yes I'm sorry may end up diverting long term medical care resources from someone who is already here.  - We have an obligation to our own people

 You cannot be the good Samaritan if you have exhausted you own resources. In addition, you are not utilizing your own resources who is supporting this family, You? Your parish? Or the taxpaying citizens  of the US, and state of Connecticut. It is so easy to be a SJW with other peoples money! Does  this family your parish is sponsoring live in East Haddon (median income $91,000.00) Fairfield(ME $107,000), Greenwich(ME $168,000.00), Westport (ME $153,500)?  Or do they live in Bridgeport (ME $39,800.00), or Waterbury($41,000.00),  or New Haven ($38,500.00). The effects both immediate and longterm of wide spread (not just Islamic)  immigration are in the  affected communities like  Dearborn not Gross Point,  Hartford not Fairfield,  St. Albans (Queens not New Hampshire ) not the Upper West Side or even BedSty.  You advocate policies without any consideration for its affect on your brothers and sisters in Christ who  are facing many of the same challenges as these refugees in an economy which under the self-righteous  left has rewarded itself with bonuses  and rising assets while leaving its citizens to go without wage increases for almost a generation. "And His False Promises"? 

You Accuse Mr Trump of Misogyny    That is 2nd of the Virtue signaling accusations trilogy 

but you do not site any proof only so lets add some history The Trump Organization and women 

Despite the freewheeling dare I say fireballing accusations of Misogyny  The Trump organization is know throughout the industry as being cutting edge in its promotion of women and minority executives. The raison d'être of TTO was his father's opposition to Donald's gender blind, ethnic blind hiring and promotion practices. a simple goggle search would have provided articles from the ever so Trump supporting press like

You say that you support Free Speech but like most progressives you only support free speech if it agrees with you. Your analogy of the post says it all People are allowed their opinion as long as it agrees with yours.  Other wise they are not just in disagreement , or even wrong but evil and poisonous, even toxic . I don't know where you studied American History but you should sue to for malpractice and get your fathers money back. Our Lord calls us to be the leaven in our societies - you have taken the road of fast acting yeast! You stated that you disagree with HRC but  where is your outrage  toward Catholic Universities which   provide her  space to spread error heresy and schism which is real hate speech. 

HRC wants to Church to change its doctrine to accommodate abortion ,and Contraception 

http://www.lifenews.com/2015/04/27/hillary-clinton-force-christians-to-change-their-religious-views-to-support-abortion/

Yet this advocate of Genocide lets not mince words abortion is genocide over 70 percent of the  abortuaries  are in Black, Hispanic or Asian neighborhoods. In the United States more Black children die of Abortion than all other causes combined (CDC) if abortion was disease it would be an epidemic. (I assume you march for life) To allow the happy recipient of the Margret Sanger award to speak on a Catholic campus is an outrage bordering on blasphemy  as Sec of State she and Her Boss tied foreign Aid to Abortion legislation, This administration send DNC experts t to assist in the election of  anti clerical, anti-Catholic anti- Life President of The Philippines. This White House  is talking with EU to craft sanctions on Poland for defending Life! Yet you do not have seem to have problem with her "Hate Speech"  I suppose you would have no problem with her Mass attending Protestant Running Mate? The very Idea that a Self described Catholic can hold a position of "I am Personally opposed to Abortion but would not dream of imposing my view on you " Since Our Lord asks us to be the leaven in our societies what baptismal vow is he violating. If this election were held in 1818 you would have no problem with "I find owning slaves personally repugnant but would not dream of interfering with your rights to control your property"

For a Catholic to not vote for Donald Trump when there are possibly three seats on SCOTUS is at the very least a sin of omission To let her off the hook as you do is to be a
 co-conspirator in the murder of the least of us.

I would like to end this on a loving  advice from an older fellow Catholic;  your Catholic education is woefully lacking perhaps you should also sue whoever thought you Catechism for heresy and malpractice. But I am so angry that you dare,  dare take your progressive left  false sanctimony and cover it with  sacerdotal cloak. 

To use a Social Justice term I am so offended 

Grow UP Learn your Faith stop being such Hypocrite !

Quomodo sedit sola civitas

Peccatum peccavit Hierusalem propterea instabilis facta est omnes qui glorificabant eam spreverunt illam quia viderunt ignominiam eius ipsa autem gemens et conversa retrorsum. *

We began talking about the growing irrelevance of never-Trumpers and about how the Bush’s are in danger of becoming a dynasty known for not keeping its word i.e. "no new taxes" or “I will support the candidate of the party"... etc, How Romney has become a joke,  How Bill Kristol and The National Review are headed down the same road of inconsequence as the NYT in our daily lives. But then we looked up from our drinks and saw the news.

I was on my second martini as the chat was percolating with thoughts on the growing irrelevance of those in the never-Trump camp when we were suddenly riveted by images of June 3rd on the television above the bar.

Grown men, not youths surrounding young people and women, isolating one young woman from the crown the pelting her with food and screaming sexual expletives while she cowered and tried to keep calm. Swarthy men with bandanas, many covering their faces, with bandanas or with the flags of their country shouting anti-American slogans - threatening American citizens with further violence in many cases actually physically abusing them! While all of this is going on the government of the USA while capable of intervening to protect its citizens, once again under a Democratic administration fails to summon the political will, or perhaps this narrative plays into a long term domestic political strategy?

The gangs threaten and perpetrate violence on  American citizens while wearing American jeans, and their very living is supported by the very American taxpayer (to the tune of Billions if not hundreds of billions of dollars) of American taxpayer money. Talk about biting the hands that feed you! Many of the usual media suspects refer to rabble as "protesters",  they recall foreign formerly third world lands' anti-American riots. But this was not Bashir's Syria, nor the Ayatollah's Iran, not Libya or even London, or Caracas ( although it was Latin America) It was San Jose, California USA!! Image American citizens attacked, violently by foreigners in our own land and what do we hear crickets!

This was not some foreign shore (well it's Jerry Brown's Democratic Republic of  California so how American it is now is a matter of some debate) but San Jose June 3rd, 2016! and the lame street press along with the Administration, and the democratic party establishment (along with some members of the GOP Establishment whose silence is as defeating as the pro-Trump cheers) have assured no condemnation of the violence? How many times has Donald Trump been asked to renounce David Duke? What was all of that hullabaloo regarding the reporter whose name I can't recall getting pushed so that she almost fell? No here they blame Donald Trump the Candidate daring to challenge the Establishment Orthodoxy on management America's decline, on the innate racism of the American people, and their concomitant laziness. The worse was not just the blaming of the candidate exercising his 1st amendment right to speak but blaming the people who dare exercise their 1st amendment right of free assembly. To hear a candidate speak prior to their exercising right to vote! These American citizens were not just harangued by the mob but physically assaulted the mob went wild (or wilding remember the 80's) as if they were possessed  (see Ann Coulter's Book Mugged)

Where was the outrage from the Lamestream Media?

The time and place I thought was not some far off shore or even a time long ago but Birmingham, Selma, Atlanta, Chicago, LA the litany even Berlin - the litany of civil rights battles when and where peaceful people   exercising their constitutionally protected rights were assaulted by a mob and the police did nothing or in some cases aided and abetted the assault . What kind of Police Officer or any kind of peace officer could stand aside while his fellow citizens were attacked by gangs and do nothing? What kind of grown men (armed BTW and sworn "to Serve and Protect") can stand aside and do nothing while young people are assaulted be a rabble and do nothing?  What kind of American can offshore and watch defenseless people being attacked with rock, bottles, and stones a young girl cowering in a building corner in front of a door were grown on the other side and do nothing? If you want to know what side you would be on in Kristallnacht, or the March on Selma, or the Attack of the Civil Rights protesters in Birmingham SJPD you have your answers, sorry but "the defense of the following order" has already been tried. The SJPD is now on par with Birmingham PD circa 1963 and the Mayor Sam Liccardo (D) surprise! is the Bull Conner (D) of June 3, 2016

Like Selma, Birmingham , Chicago,  Baltimore, we are talking about places where Democratic rule, in some cases for a generation and the rule has bought thriving communities to their knees in poverty, low expectation, and corruption while the political elite scream peace and justice,  the citizen is deprived of the fundamental American Freedom - opportunity - the hope for change (pun intended) Have any of you heard from the Justice Department BTW ? I guess now is the time to respect "States Rights" Does Civil rights extend to all citizens of this Republic or is just to those on the Upper West Side, Hollywood, DC political/ Media class. Do Civil rights mean everyone or does it just mean Those who agree with the prevailing establishment?

Yes, I dare compare them to the CRM of the '60s Just as I compare pro-life movement to abolitionist of the 19th century.  I submit to you the CRM has been Hijacked by the left which is neither Civil nor right they accuse tradition of forcing of "your way of life" yet use the administrative power of the State to impose their evolution of the greater population all without votes. They equate the right to infanticide as health, (how healthy is it for the baby?). Recall the 1990's when to stop citizens from praying and protesting in front of abortuaries many states invoked RICO laws to break the back of pro-life groups and individuals. Is anyone using these laws to even investigate the conspiratorial nature of the organized left to DT supporters? Or should we simply move on?

Move to what? An America where Freedom of Religion will become Freedom of Worship? An American Where the Freedom of Assembly is only for the rabble? An America where Free speech is only for the politically approved - especially on campus? An American where freedom of the Press is only for outlets owned by large corporations and the news is what a left-leaning logarithm tells you it is? An American where the judicial system is hijacked by the political system and therefore no one believes he can get a fair trial without pouring a libation to the executive? Now let's think the Left has called DT a Nazi (or at best a neo-Nazi) and compare legitimate campaign stops to Nazi Rallies really. Where are his brown shirts We have seen the violence perpetrated by the left but not by DT supports (most of whom have jobs) , we have witnessed the Goeppelesque newspeak from the Establishment media? We have the popular embracing of corrupt anti-freedom, the anti-working class leftist candidate who is so sure of here machine that it has not provided access to its' own fawning propaganda machine (mainstream press) for 120 days and has lied about it! After the 1st amendment, what is on the agenda the 2nd, 14th? certainly the 9th and 10th

Can we stop it - I don't know is it too late I don't know the importation of 30 million new voters, the obfuscation of voting rules, the outright cheating, and the lack of support for the citizens in favor of foreigners on the part of what should be the opposition makes me a little pessimistic  But we must try if only for our children - we owe it to our ancestors and to our country . Or maybe we are just being punished.
