Join The #Cookiecott

The Girl Scouts are NOT the helpful organization that they were several decades ago.  At that time they began espousing and promoting feminist and progressive causes, going so far as to officially approve of child-slaughter.  Recently they held Wendy Davis and Kathleen Sebelius as honorable for their "accomplishments".  Read this flyer from cookiecott.com to learn more of the poison that they pour into the mind of young girls in their charge.  (Note: The flyer won't open if you're using the Chrome browser; use Explorer or Firefox instead.)

Soon little Girl Scouts will be selling their cookies outside of grocery stores, etc.  While it will be difficult to pass them by, realize that the bulk of the proceeds will go the national office so that they can promote more brain rot with which to corrupt their minds and morals.  I never appreciated that these sales occurred during Lent, but I digress.

Many pro-life groups are calling for a boycott of the Girl Scouts, owing to the danger that they now pose for young girls.  Please see http://cookiecott.com/ for more details.  In tweets and reposts, use hashtag #cookiecott.

Abortionists Brigham And Riley Face More Consequences For Botching Abortions In Maryland - Why Not Carhart?

Abortionists Nicola Riley and Steven Chase Brigham face more legal woes in different states as those authorities take into considerations the botched abortion in Elkton MD and the scores of jars containing fetal remains.  Good for these other states.

One might wonder why, after his third certified chop-job on mothers in Germantown MD, how Leroy Carhart manages to keep his head above water.  Answer?  Friends in high places!  Boys and girls, can we say "Kathleen Sebelius"?  Thanks again to Operation Rescue, we have evidence.   Go down the page to the April 2008 dinner, with the dinner attendees.  You'll see both Sebelius and Carhart.  Could this be why Sharfstein seems to reluctant to zero in on Carhart?  It's a question worth asking, I daresay.

What's The Big Deal? It Happens Every Day!

Yesterday in Miami, Kathleen So-bileous was shilling for Obamacare and wound up with eggs on her face in the wake of another website crash.  Delight in the spectacle for yourselves, understanding that it's just a microcosm of not only the disaster known as Obamacare, but the entire fiasco that is the Obama presidency.

Kathleen Sebelius - "Third Graders May As Well Drop Out"

What is with these pro-abortion katholyc politicians?  Truly they are Obama's Minions Most Mindless.  Kathleen Sebelius (you know, the Tiller-Carhart fan who turned her back on that 10-year old girl a few weeks ago) is telling the country that children who don't get pre-kindergarten education "may as well drop out by third grade".  She let loose with that stinker while shilling for the Messiah Most Miserable's proposed $75 billion effort to increase pre-kindergarten education.

According to the Messiah Most Miserable, just when would this "education" ideally start?  At birth - that's right!  Birth!  That last link comes right from the White House (third paragraph).  So does the brainwashing education begin before or after the umbilical cord is cut?  May we safely assume that those who fall prey to Gosnellian scissors are among those who "may as well drop out" anyway?

May I humbly offer some modest suggestions to improve education in these United States?

• Abolish the Department of Education; that would greatly aid in eradicating the poison of humanism from curricula.
• Remove the National Education Association and all local chapters from schools.
• Fire all teachers and officials who wax ballistic over the mere talk of guns, and who inflict real bullying on children for biting pastries into gun-shapes.
• Throw Common Core into the trash where it belongs.
• Teach real language skills: reading, grammar, spelling, composition - and in English
• The above list is by no means exhaustive.

Of course, if you can home-school, please do so.  Kathleen Sebelius, who has spent much of her early career running interference for various abortionists and baby-killers has absolutely no credibility whatsoever to suggest that parents surrender their children to the brainwashing machinations of an increasingly fascist government.

So Much For Freedom Of Choice

Intelligent people always knew that the buzz-phrase "freedom of choice" was a mockery, something in which the pro-abortion crowd never believed.  Now they are dropping their pretenses.

Princeton "bioethicist" Peter Singer declared his latest schlock: "Women's reproductive rights may one day have to be sacrificed for the environment".  And where was he when he made this none-too-surprising statement?  Why, he was at that Women Deliver Conference last week, along with Melinda Gates, Kathleen Sebelius and Leroy Carhart.  What a charming bunch of folks.

(By the way - Women Deliver, Inc has 501c3 status.  I wonder if Lois Lerner made them jump through hoops and turn over their donor lists, website passwords, etc?  But I digress!)

Read that LifeSite News article; Singer's arrogance is actually quite typical of progressives.  Don't you just get a thrill when he says regarding women's rights, "there can be imaginable circumstances in which you may be justified in overriding them."  Wanna bet that Carhart and other abortionists in attendance were contemplating how they might "assist" in such "overriding"?

He's concerned - very concerned - about "greenhouse gases".  One immediate step he and all the other attendees could take would be to shut their mouths and stop emitting their own noxious gases.  But that won't happen.

I link to a previous post regarding the anti-life underpinnings of environmentalism.  These underpinnings were made starkly evident last week.  Please read and pass on.

Addendum: For a nice synopsis on real ecology in the service of humankind, see what Pope Francis says about the saving of babies as being the most important aspect of preserving environment.

State Of Maryland Starts Carhart Investigation

This past Saturday we learned that three Maryland abortuaries had their licenses suspended by the State of Maryland after long-overdue inspections revealed sub-standard conditions in all three.  Moreover, it was discovered that yet another woman died in the Baltimore mill; no doubt a contributing factor in her death was the non-functional defibrillator in that office.

Today Operation Rescue announced that the Maryland Board of Physicians has started a preliminary investigation into Leroy Carhart's Germantown practice.  The Board made this known in a letter that they sent to Operation Rescue; it can be viewed at the link above.  According to this letter, this sort of investigation can take up to six months to complete.

Through it all Carhart will be free to murder babies as usual.  One wonders why his mill isn't shut while the other three are (and I am grateful that they are closed).  In addition to his demonstrated disregard for Jennifer Morbelli, his license application contained key inaccuracies and he is already under investigation for illegal dumping of biohazards.  But perhaps this seeming disparity of treatments is not so mysterious when "connections" are considered.

Again we can thank Operation Rescue for some insight here.  Three years ago they publicized news - and photos - of a dinner that Kathleen Sebelius (then governor of Kansas) hosted for (the now deceased) George Tiller at the Governor's mansion.  Go to their account for the details - and photos.  Notice that Leroy Carhart was in attendance (he's behind Tiller here).  So there is reason to believe that there is at least an alliance if not working relationship there.  Now Sebelius is HHS Secretary and Carhart is under "investigation" in Maryland.  In Maryland's State House is another pro-abortion governor: one who has eyes set on the White House.  If that is the case, O'Malley will need lots and lots of money to campaign - and these abortionists have demonstrated willingness to "scratch backs of those who scratch theirs".  Might Sebelius have a hand here?  Why not?  They all seem to be one big happy network - much like a bunch of snakes tangled up together.  While it's just a theory, I think it quite plausible.

Carhart Instructed Patients To Avoid ER

Operation Rescue reports that in 2007, then Kansas governor Kathleen Sebelius hosted a party for George Tiller and several of his associates - including Leroy Carhart.  A photo of Carhart and Sebelius together can be seen on OR's web page.  Because of Sebelius's conduct during the investigation of Christin Gilbert's death, there is reasonable cause for concern that Sebelius might use her influential position to hinder any real investigation into the death of Jennifer Morbelli in Germantown.

Jill Stanek and others report that the Maryland AG's Environmental Crimes Unit is (finally) taking seriously the illegal dumping done by the Carhart cartel.  I myself wrote about that last July.  On Jill's blog are pictures of patient instructions that are distributed by his office.  In the middle of the first blue piece of paper you'll note that the patient who is experiencing distress is directed "not to go to the ER" but to call the staff.  Well, if someone's bleeding to death (as was Jennifer), what was "the staff" to do?  Remember - Carhart does not have hospital privileges in Maryland.  Now why, oh why, do you think that Carhart wanted no one to go to the ER?  Let me spell it out for the self-deluded who are reading this:  it's because he didn't want his bumbling incompetence to come to the attention of medical authorities.

It's reasonable to suppose that the Morbellis were given these instructions.  Did they try to comply with them?  If so, they wasted valuable time.  Perhaps Jennifer would have survived had she immediately sought competent medical treatment.

HHS Religious Exemptions - Abysmal Jokes

Yesterday the Messiah Most Miserable decided to fling a few crumbs our way in regards to the onerous HHS mandates that forces each and every taxpayer to pay for contraceptives - that is, chemicals that murder tiny unborn children.  Well, not really!  (Hint - When these "announcements" are released on Fridays, caveat emptor!).

The crumbs, in all their dubious 80-page glory, can be found here.  You will notice one thing immediately on page 8 of the pdf; only churches, "integrated auxiliaries" and "exclusively religious activities of any religious order" are the recipients of the largess of Dear Leader.  That would mean that any religious order that does not engage exclusively in religious activities would be subject to the mandate; thus Catholic hospitals and religious orders with any kind of outreach are bound.  All other business entities, regardless of the beliefs of their owners, MUST fund the availability of drugs that kill preborn children.

This gesture on the part of Obama is simply that - a meaningless gesture, an empty ruse.  No wonder he waited until Friday to announce this tripe.  Most Catholic and conservative blogs see through this silly set of smoke and mirrors: Catholic World Report, American Life League, Catholic Vote,  EWTN, Susan B. Anthony List.

Of course the progressive infiltration weighed in, as well.  Read the Catholics United we read that "more women will have access to the health care that they need".   The author makes no bones about his support for contraceptives, placing himself at odds with Church teaching.  However, what else can be expected from Catholics United, whose director, James Salt, once worked with Sebelius' campaign office in Kansas?  Michael Sean Winters of the Not-So-Catholic Reporter gushes over this latest Obama slop as well.  He starts off his piece by stating that he's not a lawyer.  He forgot to add that the bishop of the diocese in which NCR operates has made plain that NCR is not qualified to call itself "Catholic".

Most baffling, though, is the reaction of the USCCB.  Perhaps "baffling" is a poor choice of words as they have always seemed eager to try to find ways to appease the tyrants of Washington; "disappointing" is actually a better word for this situation.  Basically they said nothing, citing a need for "study".  Really?  Let's assume that everything was just wonderful with these new regs in giving churches and church-related organizations carte-blanche exemptions.  Would that make the HHS mandate morally acceptable to the USCCB?  What about the small, for-profit businesses?  Would the USCCB be ok with them being forced to pay for baby-murder?  The statement by the Susan B. Anthony List was excellent and one that should be echoed by the USCCB.  Key segments are: "religious and moral freedom is not up for negotiation", "there must be no religious test by the government", "only complete repeal is acceptable".  This is not rocket science requiring copious amounts of study.  These exemptions are a sham, and the Catholic bishops of this country must grow backbones and call out this charade for what it is.

Campaigning For The Messiah Most Miserable

Are these two occurrences signs of desperation among the Messiah's Minions Most Mindless?

Many have heard by now that Secretary of HHS Kathleen Sebelius was found to be in violation of the Hatch Act by campaigning for Obama.  During a talk she gave in her official capacity, she deviated from the script to throw in pitches for Obama and a local Democratic candidate. This was the opinion of the Office of Special Council.  Of course she said that she had to "seek clarification" from lawyers - as if that shouldn't have been as plain as day to someone who's been in public office for many years now.

Well, there's now a "copycat" stunt in the news.  At Brevard Community College in Cocoa Florida, a professor, Sharon Sweet, has been put on administrative leave after requiring her students to sign a pledge promising support of Obama and the Democratic ticket.  In addition to the obviously unethical aspects of her deeds, she may be found to be in violation of Florida statute that is similar to the Hatch Act.

So they have to break laws and twist arms to get votes?  Is this desperation, the tactics of despots - or both?

Video Of DC's Rally This Past Friday

Below is video from the Stand Up For Religious Freedom rally last Friday in DC, within view of the Capitol. All the speakers are to be thanked for their time, but Father Proporsky, the first speaker, fell into a bit of a booby trap at the 4:00 mark.  He extolled a poster of Norman Rockwell's entitled "Freedom To Worship".  It's true that in the 1940s there was no thought of relegating First Amendment religious rights to "worship" only, but there most certainly is an insidious effort along those lines now.

At around the 30:00 mark, listen very closely to the former POW.  He makes the point that those who propose a "new world order" must crush religion, for such a government cannot brook a higher moral/social order than itself.  I've never supported such a cockamaney notion and have long said that the United Nations should be abolished with all haste and without ceremony.

I also point out Trent Frank's comments at the 45:00 mark.  He's quite correct in saying that if Obama wins in November, then all hell (I mean that literally) will break loose.  That means we get behind the GOP nominee - now!

The clip will now follow this jump break.

Georgetown Digging In Its Heels - In The Sludge

Yesterday Georgetown President Fr John DeGioia defended the decision to have HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius deliver one of the commencement addresses.  He said "the secretary's presence on our campus should not be viewed as an endorsement of her views."  Oh, really?  Would he be so glib if the speaker were affiliated with, say, a white supremist group?

By the way - the Washington Post published the text of her address; read it.  Clearly she tooted her own horn - policies, views and all.  What else did they really expect?  Nothing, really.  Father DeGioia's nose might have grown just a tad.

I couldn't help but notice that Georgetown's name is missing from the list of Catholic plaintiffs in the twelve lawsuits filed earlier this week. That's no surprise.

Yesterday, 43 Catholic organizations around the country, including the Archdiocese of Washington, joined in the filing of 12 lawsuits against the Obama administration.  They are doing so because the HHS contraception mandate is an egregious assault upon our First Amendment rights to live by the tenets of our faith in not paying for contraceptives and abortifacients in the health plans we sponsor.  As this statement of the Archdiocese of Washington put it, "It is not about whether people have access to certain services; it is about whether the government may force religious institutions and individuals to facilitate and fund services which violate their religious beliefs."  Harvard Law School professor Mary Ann Glendon has this to say on the matter.

The suit names as defendants (with their respective departments):

• HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius (subject of our Georgetown protest last week)
• Labor Secretary Hilda Solis (another pro-abortion "katholyc")
• Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (aka Turbo Tax Timmy)

Several days ago, I announced on this blog the Stand for Religious Freedom Rally on June 8th.  These are occurring all over the country.  Check out www.standupforreligiousfreedom.com for a location near you and be there if at all possible. 

Truth Was Spoken To Georgetown University On May 18, 2012

Banner Displayed by American TFP

Concerned Catholics and other pro-life Christians went to Georgetown University Friday morning (May 18) to protest the self-defilement committed by Georgetown in allowing Kathleen Sebelius to address their graduates.  Her latest slap in the face to the babies occurred in the form of the HHS mandate that she engineered and that Obama is attempting to cram down our throats.  Even if she hadn't committed that atrocity, her chequered record as governor of Kansas should have been enough to disqualify her as any role model for Catholic youth.  To refresh memories, she was an accomplice to Kansas' late-term abortionist, the late George Tiller.  Just google their two names together and you will see an eyeful.

I'd like to recommend for your reading another first-hand account by Charles, a college student home on summer break who joined us.  See http://modernletters.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/1415/

I've a number of photos and videos to show (all taken by me).  I'll place them after the jump break so..

Picket Sebelius Appearance At Georgetown!

Let me preface this by pointing out that the Archdiocese of Washington, in an editorial in last week's Catholic Standard, has expressed displeasure with Georgetown's decision to honor "katholyc" Kathleen Sebelius this coming Friday.  While I commend them for taking this step, I urge them to act decisively on this matter.  I believe that the Cardinal can remove from Georgetown the right to call itself "Catholic".  Time and time again, Georgetown has thumbed its nose at the Magisterium; it's time to call a spade a spade.

At 10:00am this Friday May 18th, we will be meeting at the entrance to Leavy Center (on Reservoir Road at 38th St) to advise attendees of the travesty that Sebelius's appearance is.  Come join us to offer some authentic Catholic witness to the graduates and their guests.

An Interview With Bishop Morlino

On Thursday I touched a bit on Bishop Morlino of Madison Wisconsin.  He made the news because of his defense of his traditionalist parish priests against subterfuge by liberal/dissident parishioners.  In that post I linked to an earlier post showing how he took exception to the USCCB support of the public union workers against Governor Walker.

I applaud Bishop Morlino for not being afraid to go "against the wind" (of hot air) emanating from the dark halls of the USCCB.  He has done so again in defending Rep Paul Ryan from specious charges of "going against Church teaching" lobbed at him from the USCCB.  (By the way - here's an interesting article entitled "Are Catholics Required to Support a Continually Expanding Welfare State?")

In this brief episode of an EWTN program, Bishop Morlino is interviewed on the topic of Paul Ryan, as well as the topic of Sebelius's scheduled appearance at Georgetown this coming Friday.  Click here if you cannot see embedded video.

Georgetown's Pathetic Attempt At Damage Control

It looks like Georgetown University is trying the old "soft-shoe tap-dance" around its debacle.  They have earned thousands of well-deserved rebukes for its plans to foist upon its graduates one of the most traitorous "katholycs" of this century - HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.  They tried to accomplish that by editing slightly the announcement of So-bilious' appearance.  (Note: to all you fastidious types who object my modified spelling of her name, consider both her draconian mandate AND the fact that she ran legal interference for George Tiller aka "Tiller the Killer" as governor of Kansas).

A note to the Georgetown administration.  As complaints increase and donations decrease, understand that you can stave off disasters on many fronts simply by rescinding your invitation to So-bilious.  If this atrocity is allowed to occur, there will be protests.  Please do the right thing, find your Catholic consciences and spines, remember that you are sons of St Ignatius Loyola (not Robert Drinan) and keep Kathleen So-bilious from besmirching Georgetown University.  Once Georgetown was a fine institution of Catholic higher learning.  Decisions of the past several years have caused a precipitous decline in Georgetown. Please reverse that trend and don't plunge Georgetown further down the toilet on May 18th.

Kathleen Sebelius To Give Georgetown Commencement Address

Put her name next to the little magnifying glass at the top left and see how many times I reported on her many atrocities.  The latest one, of course, is the HHS mandate that crams down the throats of all decent people the onus of paying for contraceptives and abortifacients in health-coverage plans.  She has been rightly chided by bishops and laity alike.

Therefore I can only assume that Georgetown University is deliberately thumbing its nose at the Magisterium by extending an invitation to her to speak at the commencement of one of Georgetown's schools on Friday May 18th.  The disgrace will occur at 11:00am at the Leavey Center Ballroom.

The Cardinal Newman Society has a link by which you may send a petition to protest this inappropriate invitation.  You may sign it if you wish - or contact the Georgetown administration yourselves to protest.

Will we have to picket???

Sebelius: Thanks To Obamacare, Law Student Can Mooch Off Working People

That's the real translation of this piece from CNS News.  Last Thursday, at a conference sponsored by Al Sharpton, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius sang the praises of Obamacare and the mandates that are threatening the First Amendment rights of all (although the Catholic Church is in the administration's cross-hairs). She told the tale of Ashley, a 25-year-old law student who aspires to working on "social justice" for her career.  Sebelius bloviated, "she can go ahead and pursue that dream now because she no longer has to worry about getting health coverage."

Awwww!  Isn't that special??  She doesn't have to get a job to pay her own way and support herself!  She can now siphon off her parents and the rest of us who do have to work and pay our own ways - and apparently hers too, as she "pursues her dream"!   Doesn't that just warm your innards??

This young woman's dream happens to be "social justice".  Well, if what Sebelius says about her is true, she already has warped ideas about "social justice".  What she's pursing is socialism, with the blessings of Sebelius and the Messiah Most Miserable.

The Real Villainess Behind The HHS Mandate??

Notice the feminine form of the noun "villain" in the header.  A blogger by the name of Ron Conte sets forth the hypothesis that the real driving force behind the HHS mandates that seek to compel religious employers to violate their own consciences may be Kathleen Sebelius rather than Barack Obama.  You may read it for yourselves on his blog.

I certainly think it's a plausible theory.  Without proof, it remains a theory.  Moreover, ultimate responsibility still rests with the Messiah Most Miserable, since he would have had the authority to stop the mandate in its tracks.  So he at least allowed it to go through for his own reasons.

The Winners Of The 2011 Moloch Awards Are....

First, what are the Moloch Awards?  They are awards given to deserving (?) individuals by the American Life League who have plumbed the depths of serving the demagogues of abortion.  Moloch was a false deity worshipped by ancient peoples.  They did so by sacrificing newborns to it.  We have way too many people today serving in blind obedience to the murderous idol.

Now the American Life League has announced the "winners" of the awards in various categories.  I need not "reinvent the wheel", as it were.  On the ALL page can be found all the "winners".  No doubt there were some tough decisions to be made, as any number of scoundrels could have taken these awards, but there's always next year, I suppose!
