Sshhh! Illegal Dinner Parties Afoot!!!

I hope and pray that this is a joke.  Given Michael Bloomberg's control-freak nature, this is in the foreseeable future even if it's a joke now!  Imagine!  The scandal of it all!  People eating and socializing in each others' homes without the Nanny State to supervise what free citizens may put into their mouths!  Why, there might be trans-fats!  Or salt!  Or even (heaven forbid!) a 16-ounce soda!

See here for what I hope is a spoof.

The Other School Assault This Past Friday

While I was listening to news updates about the Newtown situation, I would hear every now and then some mention of a similar incident in China on the same day - but not much else.  So I googled it.

There was indeed an attack in the Henan province of China, according to BBC News.  A knife-wielding man slashed 22 children and 1 elderly woman.  Two of the kids were wounded seriously.  The attacker was overpowered by security guards.  The guards were apparently there due to previous attacks that did claim the lives of 20 children.

Fortunately in Henan there were no fatalities yesterday and that's why no one saw fit to delve more closely in that manner.  However, I believe there's an additional reason why the lamebrain-mainstream media chose to ignore those attacks.  The Chinese assailant did not use any guns in his vicious crimes.  Nor were guns used in the previous Chinese situations that did prove fatal to some children.  And yes, apparently China has "large knife registration", but that didn't stop what happened Friday.

Fifty years ago, the US didn't have nearly the number of gun control laws on the books as it does now.  Yet we never heard of such occurrences.  Of course at that time we knew better than to allow our babies to be murdered in their own mothers' wombs.  Abortion happened, but not nearly at the rate that it happens now and society condemned - not condoned - it.

Already we hear kvetching and ballyhooing for more "gun control", as if that really addresses the root of the problem.  The usual whiners and howlers include:

• NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg - (the guy who banned 16-oz sodas from NYC)
• NY Gov Andrew Cuomo
• Piers Morgan
• NY Rep Jerrold Nadler (Hey!  At least he's being honest!)

And lest you think that these libs are leading by example, think again.  Barbara Boxer and Chuck Shumer have concealed-carry permits.  Why don't they think that we citizens, we the Great Unwashed, have the right to self defense?

All the above-named progressives have something else in common - they promote abortion: that is, the murder of babies.  So of course they won't function on the actual criminal, but merely the criminal's choice of tools.  If they subjected the criminal to scrutiny, they must also subject to the same scrutiny those who assist the criminal in his/her murders.  Could it be that they unconsciously realize that they themselves are complicit in murder?

In my post yesterday, I related the remarks made by Mother Teresa during the 1994 National Prayer Breakfast.  During the lighting of the Vatican Christmas tree, the Holy Father repeated her thoughts when he warned that abortion and "gay marriage" are real threats to peace.  Unless we, as a nation, wake up and repent, these acts of violence will increase.

Bloomberg Financing Gay Marriage Push In Maryland

The gay lifestyle proponents are tapping into some big cash in their push to play "pretend" with marriage.  We were successful in petitioning the measure to ballot.  It is Question 6 - we urge a vote "against".

O'Malley put out a cash call.  New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is kicking in $250,000 towards promotion of a sinful lifestyle.  I take this occasion to suggest donations to Maryland Marriage Alliance.

Mayor Bloomberg's War On Mothers - New Front

Mayor Bloomberg of New York is taking Nanny State to the next level.  He is trying to foist breast-feeding (as opposed to bottle-feeding) on NYC mothers via his "Latch On NYC Initiative".  It's "voluntary" for hospitals now, but probably won't be so "voluntary" in the future.  So far 27 of the city's 40 hospitals have glommed onto the nonsense.

Now moms won't be denied formula, but they'll have to ask for it - and it won't be given to them without having the reason for the dispensing medically documented (I hope the infants' hunger is a medically valid reason for these Formula Police).  What will also be dispensed to the recalcitrant mother - with every bottle - is a lecture from a hospital staff person on the evils of bottles and the goodness of breasts!  Boys and girls, can we all say "brow-beating"?

Of course they're doing this "for the children", you see?  Never mind that this crap is coming from a typical pro-abortion politician who is totally in favor of a baby being brutally murdered before birth.  But should that child be so fortunate as to make it out of his/her mother's womb in one piece, then Bloomberg will take that hapless child into his clutches.

Not only does Nanny Bloomy tell Mom and Dad that they can't eat trans-fats or drink Big Gulps, he tells the poor little tyke how he/she must eat!  Is it really the role of a city mayor to tell moms how to feed their children?  When it comes to murdering the children, it's "between a woman and her doctor".  But with anything else, the Nanny State interjects its big bazzoo!  Did you ever think you'd see the day when Similac and Emfamil would be treated like morphine?

NYC residents, don't you think it's time to retire Bloomberg?  Why, oh why, do you put up with this nonsense?  For us Maryland folks, we'd better keep our eyes on our own legislative fools - that goes double for the ones who prowl the Montgomery County offices in Rockville.

NYC Bomber - Some Very "Inconvenient Truths"

Pakistani-born Faisal Shahzad tried to detonate a car bomb in Times Square last weekend.

Before he was identified, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg opined that this bomber was a lone wolf with a "political agenda" who probably "doesn't like the health care".  This is no joke.  Watch for yourselves.

Shahzad has admitted to receiving bomb-training in Pakistan, in one of the Taliban strongholds of that country.  Even Eric Holder is calling this a "terrorist plot".  Yes, they are admitting this now!

He was arrested at JFK airport.  He was on a plane headed for Dubai when it was ordered to return to the terminal from the runway.  Now understand this; he was allowed to board the plane despite being on a "no-fly" list.  Why was he not stopped at the gate?  Were the intrepid security people too busy confiscating Grandma's crochet needles?

Ann Coulter has an excellent piece on this situation.  I'd advise that you read it - particularly the end where she raises excellent questions about naturalization.  I'd advise the USCCB to read it and reconsider their ill-advised mad dash to embrace just about everyone who sets eyes on this country.  Of course, I'm not holding my breath.  Guys like Shahzad are just whom the USCCB progressives and their ACORN buddies want in this country to cripple it.
