Segment from the Glen Beck Show explains the old IRS regulation from the Johnson era which impeded political speech in the churches in exchange for maintaining non profit status. This regulation has no teeth, and hundreds of clergymen are set to prove it again this year. Sept. 26 will mark the third annual PULPIT FREEDOM SUNDAY, says David Barton of Wallbuilders.
It would be pleasing to see the U.S. Catholic Bishops challenge this regulation also.
Becket Fund to provide free defense for religious hospitals against government-ordered abortions.
Apparently the members of the ACLU recognize Catholic health care to be of such high quality that they want their abortions done at Catholic hospitals, rather than those hole-in-the-wall Planned Unparenthood clinics.
Their latest push is to pressure the government to force the religious affliliated hospital personnel to vacuum the babies out of their women.
Above is linked an article from the Becket Fund which is offering pro-bono legal help for any health care professionals who are victimized by the ACLU’s push to force participation in this killing.
CNSNews.com – Project 21 Chairman Blasts Sharpton over Glenn Beck Rally.
We know that the Rev. Al Sharpton makes income from stirring up racial discord, and he attempted it again at Beck’s big rally (half million people) in Washington this past weekend.
Mychal Massie, who heads up Project 21, has issued a challenge to Al Sharpton to debate “whether race is more important than equality of all men under the constitution and under God”.
The most significant thing is that
THE LEFTIE ELITISTS, WHO SUPPORT OBAMA,
DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE !!!!!!!
2010 Campaign: Muted Debate on Abortion, Gay Marriage and Stem Cell Research – ABC News.
After a few news cycles over years, and a barrage of commentary on the poorly educated reporters who did not understand primary school level biology, World News Tonight mentioned fertilization processes when discussing the (early) abortion issues. It took huge effort to evoke a glimmer of comprehension about this crux of the abortion controversy.
Now these reporters are fooling themselves into thinking that the conservatives have dropped social issues while taking up economic issues.
Wrong as usual. This time they’ll stay wrong til it’s no longer relevant. This connection is just too complex for the average alphabet network -journalist to understand.
When we take up the issue of Obamacare, we are addressing the abortion, euthanasia and embryonic stem cell issues in a big way. With Obamacare we are faced with health care professionals being coerced to participate in these practices, and massive loss of those workers as a result. Surveys of physicians by Investors Business Daily, and the New England Journal of Medicine have yielded the same result, predicting massive attrition in the event of Obamacare. We are also faced with women being instructed to abort, and being told that their children will not have access to health care if they do not. We are faced with the denial of care for the elderly and disabled in the name of cost containment. The writings and vocalizations of Obama’s health care advisors are clear.
Repealing Obamacare IS THE BIGGEST SOCIAL ISSUE that has grabbed the attention of our conservative movement.

Unlike Obama pointing to himself as the uniter, Beck is pointing to God as the source of salvation for America.
The purpose of this party is to honor Service People and Real Americans.
Kicks right off with Pledge of Allegiance and prayers.

Wired youth forget how to write in China and Japan.
This is the consequence of using pinyin and romaji transliterations of Chinese and Japanese written language on computers and phones, and also in the case of Japanese, using the hirigana syllabary in place of the more complex kanji characters.
Both written languages have been greatly simplified from their original forms, though they are still extremely laborious to memorize.
Cell phones can be both the source of the problem, and the means to look up the forgotten characters. There also exist optical character recognition programs in phone apps which serve as aids in translating Kanji.
Obama Hauls Arizona Before the UN Human Rights Council | Impeach Obama Campaign.
Obama has brought the Arizona copy of the U.S. federal immigration policy before the attention of the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Remember this is the same UN which develops policies to make the kids available for sex, and abort their babies, (as well as culling the disabled from the human herd).
The cultural elite of the UN wouldn’t want those brown people to have too much reproductive success and get uppity, you know.
The big question is what moral authority do the UN freaks have regarding human rights issues?
Mother told to clean own room after caesarean – The Local.
Sweden Care!
Two days after a C section, the third time mom decided it was time to go home.
She was assigned the job of cleaning her room before leaving. During her stay, her husband was assigned the job of caring for her, and the patient reported having to call reminders for all of her meds.
This is attributed to a labor shortage. Most amusing are comments appended to the article from the natives who attribute this to a “conservative government” which is cutting back on spending.
Sen Max Baucus wrote the Obama care bill but couldn’t read it.
“I don’t think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the health care bill. You know why? It’s statutory language,” Baucus said. “We hire experts.”

U.S. court rules against Obama’s stem cell policy | Reuters.
Remember when Obama issued an executive order to fund embryonic stem cell research and overturned Bush’s order encouraging funding to adult stem cell research?
There’s a new court injunction against Obama’s ridiculous executive order, which was for the purpose of cutting off funding for research which has yielded many successes, and transferring money to a wholly unsuccessful (and immoral) avenue.
CastroCare In Crisis: Mounting Strains.
Some fun facts from Cuba…. the hospital patients supply their own syringes, bedsheets, and towels in order to stave off nosocomial infection. Sterile equipment and disinfectants are in short supply in Cuba’s hospitals.
Cervical cancer is the fourth leading cause of death among Cuban woman, and it is largely preventable, but Pap smears are no longer routine for fear of the unhygenic exam practices.
Maternal death, blamed on medical neglect post partum is also on the rise under Castrocare.
Least surprise of all, doctor defections are rampant, with many returning from (training) abroad only to leave health care for jobs which will bring them convertible currency. The Castro answer is to reduce placements in other countries.
and they went on strike??
Learn about some Minnesota nurses who chose not to strike, and resigned from the union (MNA) in order to conscientiously fulfill their obligations to their patients. Below is a news video describing threatening letters and other penalties suffered by these health care professionals who put their patients first.
Her propensity for saying ANYTHING, got her into trouble with political correctness, as she repeated that one word which White people aren’t allowed to utter. Notwithstanding her purpose of bringing out that odd distinction, and bringing the point that if that insult is to be expunged, Black people need to stop saying it too, she was hounded for using the word itself when speaking about it, and decided it’s time for a change of venue.
Pharmer likes Dr. Laura for her candor, and wishes her success in future endeavors which will primarily be online.
The lefties of New York, sensing that even their own people would vote them out, have decided it might be a good idea to move the mosque to another site. Governor Patterson intends to meet with the Muslims with incentives for this change of plans.
What should be of prime interest to the ACLU is that there is a proffering of STATE LAND for building the mosque at a different site, to avoid the controversy of its location as a victory monument at ground zero of the 9-11 attack on the World Trade Center.
Perhaps there will also be some state land offered to the Greek Orthodox for the replacement of the St. Nicholas church???? Hmmmm???
The primary evidence to show the democrat desperation to be reelected is their break with Obama on the Mosque construction at ground zero..
Reid publicly announced his opposition to the leftist + muslim effort to declare victory over America by building a mosque where Islamic terrorists killed over 3000 people at the World trade center. Please note that the above link is to a UK newspaper ;-)
Interestingly the leftists have not yet figured out that a mosque does not represent victory for them, as their social agenda will not but supported there.
Fun facts:
Plans to build a gay bar next to the proposed mosque also exist, and the prospective owner, Greg Gutfeld plans to cater to muslim men.
The ACLU favors the building of the mosque…….
yet it is famous for opposing public displays of Christian beliefs.
The ACLU also opposes the professional position not to purposely kill humans in health care practice. Interestingly Muslims are also gaining media attention for the same pro-life position.
One may peruse massive literature on the ACLU pro-killing position at www.aclu.org oddly catagorized as ”reproductive rights”.
Religious Tolerance of the lefties is very selective.
Headlining at Pharmacists for Life International is a low opinion of the FDA’s decision to spend time on this me-too analog of the abortive drug, mifepristone (RU486), and allow the marketing as a morning after pill.
Below is what Pharmer sent to Rob Stein of the Washington post, at his request. It’s possibly not translatable into language understandable by that newspaper’s readers.
On the sidebar and searchable on this blog is further information on Ulipristal acetate, coming soon to the US, for use in underage girls, (without parental consent) and by women who are ill-informed about the drug and its effects.
Reply to request for statement on the impending approval of Ulipristal:
Ulipristal Acetate, according to its developers, can kill embryos and fetuses, and is marketed in Europe as EllaOne. The low dose 30mg form, has been prioritized for approval by the FDA, which would have served us better by adequately addressing the current, rolling shortages of lifesaving and essential medications.
The embryocidal, ulipristal acetate doses may be accumulated by physicians or patients for medical abortions at home, sidestepping the so-called regulation of mifepristone/misoprostil (the other abortion drug). This will lead to additional life-endangering problems for the targeted adolescent girls and women.
The FDA is expected to continue in its long tradition of relegating females to bottom class health care status.
Reply when asked if pharmacists would refuse to dispense it:
Pharmacists were excused from handling mifepristone/misoprostil, and most were relieved to be sheltered from the ethical and legal liabilities.
The majority would not like providing information and dispensing ulipristal, since it is an analog of mifepristone. Expect attempts to force pharmacists to do so.
If you were to juxtapose the issue of severe drug shortages and the approval of this ‘me-too’, abortifacient in a survey of pharmacists, the majority would express the opinion that the FDA is nearly useless.
Personal note to Rob Stein concerning the FDA’s action:
In my place of employment is a gigantic board listing the shortages and outages of essential medications, such as antibiotics, pain relievers, anaesthetics and drugs for sedation.This problem has been significant for years, and has worsened considerably in the last year, impeding our ability to provide vital care for our patients.
The FDA has placed the approval of this duplicate analog of mifepristone ahead of need to address this severe health care issue. My disrespect for the FDA is profound and beyond the ability to verbalize.
The real news is unpleasant, constantly revising the GDP downward, the debt upward, the unemployment upward. Afghanistan is not going well, and the Vietnam story will be rewound, with US abandoning our allies to be killed by the Taliban.
Formerly, the media used to fill the summer news doldrums with lifestyle and religion/ethics stories. The religion/ethics subject has dropped off to avoid highlighting that Obama lefties have none outside of statism.
So we’re left with only the distraction of lifestyle news. That’s so dead, because nothing shocks anymore. The Sherrod story had to be suddenly killed because it revealed the fraud of Obama and company’s bill to allow payments to 86,000 black farmers (with the census revealing that less than 40,000 actually exist in the U.S.)
It’s Soooo bad that the media had to TIGER that JetBlue flight attendant, Steve Slater. This guy apparently was hit in the head, and was in no mood to deal with the passengers, who noticed a large gash on his forehead but still needed his immediate attention to their needs. He threw a tantrum, exited the plane in grand fashion, then was turned into a major celebrity by the media. According to the Tiger cycle, the media builds a celebrity by ignoring/hiding his faults, then tears him down later by revealing them. It generates material for those too lazy or unwilling to report on more significant matters.
In the bad news milieu of this summer of no recovery, the lamestreamers had to fast forward the Tiger process on Steve Slater.
He doesn’t know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could vote republican. If you’re Hispanic, you’re all supposed to think one way…..and wait for handouts from the Democrats. That’s our Harry Reid… tired of him yet?
Trevor Keezor, a cashier at Home Depot was fired for wearing an “One Nation under God” button. This occurred after wearing it at work for a year, and shortly after he took up reading a bible at lunch break.
By contrast, Home Depot has shown itself to be much more friendly towards the display of accessories showing pro-gay sentiment, and this has inspired the AFA to initiate a boycott of the company.
Just a few examples of Obama Administration morphing into Yes we Can’t mode right after election:
Huge ice storm and freezing people in Kentucky? Sorry, Governor Beshear (who called Obama for help), too busy with the superbowl party.
Floods in Fargo, N Dakota and Nashville, TN regions — a near media blackout and little federal help, not the multi-year whine fest accorded to New Orleans.
The Oil Spill? BP stopped it despite the government hampering of repair, and the states took care of their own shores to the extent the feds would allow it.
Illegal Immigration? No, Obama and big Sis Napolitano say they can’t close the borders, it’s impossible.
Fomer Sen.Ted Steven’s plane goes down in Alaska? The feds could not get to the plane due to severe weather, but reported locals on the scene assisting the survivors. A commercial helicopter had dropped a medical team to the site, while the coast guard and national guard waited for the weather to clear.
Don’t you think the federal response to calamities would have been better with those Alaskans running the show?
There will be, in the next two elections, a test to see if pinching off federal disaster and law enforcement assistance to red states will make them more inclined to vote for democrats in the future.
First watch Rosie ODonnell tell us that marriage is an institution for expressing defiance, spite, or anger. Listen up right Here and think about whether gay marriage is a good idea or just more Jerry-Springer-style entertainment for the rest of us.

One more update of significance… the Portland area (Multnomah County) governmental authorities have been embarrassed into allowing little 7 year old, Julie Murphy have her lemonade stand.
These Republican Senators confirmed Elena Kagan for her solicitor general post in 2009: Tom Coburn (Okla.), Susan Collins (Maine), Judd Gregg (N.H.), Orrin Hatch (Utah), Jon Kyl (Ariz.), Richard Lugar (Ind.) and Olympia Snowe (Maine) casting votes in her favor.
These are the five Republicans who confirmed Kagan’s appointment to the Supreme Court: Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Richard Lugar of Indiana and Judd Gregg of New Hampshire. Please send money for the primary elections of their opponents when the time comes.
Judd Gregg is said to be retiring, and the other four are not yet up for reelection in 2010.
Richard Lugar’s mental decline has rendered him unfit for service as a Republican.
Portland lemonade stand runs into health inspectors, needs $120 license to operate | OregonLive.com.
Very diligent health inspectors in Portland enforced the requirement that temporary restaurants obtain a 120 dollar license to operate, and closed down little Julie Murphy’s lemonade stand.
A REMINDER to aid in keeping this in perspective…… this is the city which only has two vice squad employees and a burgeoning sex slavery industry. Would there be a response from the city of Portland if the little girl was being sold, rather than lemonade?
Perhaps Portland’s health department should have bigger fish to fry……..
