Valentine

VALENTINE: SAINT OF HEARTS
St. Patrick drove the snakes away
St. Francis loved the birds
St. Christopher guided travelers
St.Paul had all the words
St. George slew the dragon
but St. Valentine stands apart
while his fellow saints were all
for souls
St. Val. was for the heart.

After Shafia

2012-02-13T01:38:00Z

The Shafia verdict should have implications far beyond the deserved condemnations of the very concept of “honour” killings. Beyond even the condemnation of the terrible subjugation of women that is at the heart of that retrograde and oxymoronic phrase and the corpus of thought that gave it birth. And beyond any satisfaction people may have about the verdict. It should lead us straight to the heart of the matter: the absolute rejection of accomodation to any status for any religious law in Canada’s legal jurisdictions and the urgent need to reaffirm this nation’s dedication to the sovereignty of the individual over any collective.

Barack’s Smug Assault on Freedom of Religion Isn’t Just Anti-American—It’s Unforgivable

2012-02-12T21:46:28Z

Could history’s greatest Republic be suffering total amnesia over the Founder’s conviction that religion is a sacrosanct zone outside of governmental authority? You’d think so, given the Obama administration’s decision to force Believers to provide birth control against conviction.

The Democrat’s sinister cabal, in typical Marxist fashion, clumsily politicizes yet another area of American freedom. We observe, again, the inevitable, serious-as-a-heart-attack, yet trite socialist power-grab.

‘Agenders’ and Right Wing Conspirators

2012-02-12T21:44:58Z

A recent article in the Atlantic Monthly, “Is the UN Using Bike Paths to Achieve World Domination?” by Andrew Cohen, drew my intense attention. It was not because I particularly cared for the author’s writings. It was his vitriolic description of people who oppose ICLEI and the United Nations-driven “sustainability initiatives” regarding land use in the United States as “right wing conspiracy theories,” promoted by “Agenders.”

Samuel L. Jackson Drops the Act: Admits He Only Voted for Obama because of Race

Hey, Jackson, is it Samuel L. or Jesse? Actually, it’s more likely that the actor was channeling Jeremiah Wright.

Hope against hope: Obama and the Pope

2012-02-12T16:45:32Z

(This review was first published 4 years ago in Chronwatch. Because Chronwatch is now defunct, it is no longer available online. Given recent events, I thought you might like to see an updated version- RKE.)

It so happens that in the last election cycle two books were circulating that had hope as their theme. One was a thick book, “The Audacity of Hope,” by then presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama. The other was a thin book, “Saved in Hope,” by Pope Benedict XVI. The two books couldn’t be more different.

2012-02-12T15:20:58Z

A trial has been underway for a week in an upstate New York vote fraud case that has brought to light criminal actions committed by Democrats in city government in Troy, New York, that seems to go back decades. Some of the first witnesses are also claiming that they were paid by Democrat officials to commit vote fraud.

Playing the Percentages

2012-02-12T15:06:42Z

After occupying the headlines for far too long, Occupy Wall Street was dispersed by a combination of inclement weather, mayoral irritation and having served their purpose. Occupy Oakland will go on doing what it can to depress the economy of an already economically depressed city by attacking its ports. The other Occupations are being moved along back to the Starbucks that spawned them.

Pasta Salads…and the Fence

Good morning once again. We hope all are well, AND warm! Dad-gum, it slipped around and dropped to 34 here last night, and supposed to be a little cooler tonight.

CBS Proudly Accepts AIM’s Award, Despite Controversy

2012-02-12T14:04:51Z

As reported in a recent posting, Accuracy in Media presented its annual Reed Irvine Media Awards for Investigative and Grassroots Journalism amidst a trumped up controversy reported in The Washington Post, Politico and Big Journalism. Awards were presented to Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News for her investigative reporting on Operation Fast and Furious as well as Solyndra and other “green energy” projects in which the Obama administration has invested Americans’ taxpayer dollars; and Dana Loesch, Editor-in-chief of Andrew Breitbart’s Big Journalism, for her tireless work as a grassroots journalist.

The pro-Democratic Party media watchdog, Media Matters, led the effort to browbeat Attkisson and CBS into backing out of accepting the award. They claim her reporting was shoddy and that CBS shouldn’t allow her to accept an award from a partisan group, as they call Accuracy in Media. Yet as AIM’s Cliff Kincaid recently exposed, the head of Media Matters, David Brock, has created a so-called Democratic “Super PAC” specifically devoted to electing Democrats and defeating Republicans.

Occupiers or Tea Partiers?

2012-02-12T12:08:59Z

To listen click here

Imagine how the media would react were the Tea Parties to behave as the Occupiers have. Take a few minutes to view some of this video (2:09), or this video (2:08). Occupiers demand to “occupy” whatever they wish as a First Amendment right, but they will not allow Tea Party people (:52- explicit) to exercise their First Amendment rights.
