The American Spectator : The Little Sisters of Limousine Liberalism

The American Spectator : The Little Sisters of Limousine Liberalism.

George Neumayr says Follow the Money, with respect to seeking out the reasons why “Sister Obamacare” Carol Keehan, has supported the Obama shell game, moving financial management of birth control / abortion / sterilization finances to insurance companies, which still includes many self insured Catholic institutions. All of the religiously run institutions will still be paying the cost.

Neumayr notes that being a “Sister of Limousine Liberalism” has its rewards, and gives yearly salaries for a number of individuals who are touting Obamacare, and the birth control/ abortion/ sterilization mandate. Keehan herself pulls down close to a million yearly.

The Catholic Health Association hospitals under her purview also stand to recieve plenty of cash under Obamacare if it is left to continue in its destructive path.

Pro-life nurses win major court battle (OneNewsNow.com)

Pro-life nurses win major court battle (OneNewsNow.com).

Twelve nurses of the same surgery unit at University of Medicine and Dentistry Hospital, one of New Jersey’s largest health care facilities, have won their suit, and will not be forced to participate in abortion procedures.

Yet to be determined are the reprisals and scheduling problems which might crop up as  a result of their dissent. U.S. District Judge Jose Linares says that he will retain jurisdiction over the case to monitor and rule on any disputes which might arise as the decision is enforced.

Perhaps the hospital will recognize the public relations problem of coercing participation in abortion, and allow the nurses to practice in peace.

Congratulations to the courageous nurses and the lawyers of the Alliance Defense Fund on their victory.

Christophe Champenois Reportedly Murders Son In Washing Machine

Christophe Champenois Reportedly Murders Son In Washing Machine.

This guy is said to have stuffed his toddler into a washing machine, and turned it on.  The little boy died of head injuries. 

This is just a very late term abortion.  Princeton University  bioethicist, Peter Singer,  has told us  that aborting at the toddler stage of development is OK, calling 3 years of age ethically a grey case.

A commonality is that the deaths occur by brutal methods which are out of sight of the perpetrator (unless ultrasound guided), whether they occur in the washing machine or in the uterus.

Penn State – Further Into the Dumpster

Jerry Sandusky Rumored to Have Been ‘Pimping Out Young Boys to Rich Donors,’ Says Mark Madden – College Football – NESN.com.

Pharmer supposes that all sorts of rumors will be flying, including the one headlined above.

This rumor  is not implausible because the Board of Trustees has seen fit to boot Joe Paterno immediately, as well as the University president Graham Spanier, who had been in place for 16 years.

Student unrest (rioting) has ensued, involving students on each side of the issue of firing Joe Paterno.

Expect much more to come out of this Penn State scandal as the digging continues.

April 2011 article asking why Sandusky retired so early.

DA who did not charge Sandusky after the 1998 incident disappeared in 2005

Remember Michael Mann, Climate Gate, and Research Fraud? Penn State found no trouble with him.

11/13: HS Football player says Sandusky paid a visit to recruit him last spring.

Mississippi voters reject anti-abortion initiative – CNN.com

Mississippi voters reject anti-abortion initiative – CNN.com.

The Personhood Amendment (26) in Mississippi was voted down on Tuesday.

This amendment defined the beginning of life according to what is understood in biology for over 150 years.   Opponents feared that it could have led to laws and regulations to ban hormonal birth control and fertility treatments, since these things often operate with a mechanism to stop embryonic human life. The amendment itself contained no specific language involving bans or restrictions. The CNN article referenced above is incorrect in this regard, as it re-used scare tactics used by abortion supporters to oppose the amendment.

The admission of the ethical problems associated with birth control and certain fertility treatments comes late from promoters, many of whom formerly denied, concealed or obfuscated  the possible effects of embryonic or fetal demise.

University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey Sued for Coercing Nurses to Assist Abortions

The Alliance Defense Fund has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in New Jersey against the University of Medicine and Dentistry on behalf of 12 nurses.  The University has been threatening nurses with loss of their jobs if they refuse to train for and assist in abortions.  This is a due to a recent change in policy and supervision of the nurses.

The suit asks for removal of federal funding for the hospital until it ceases religious discrimination against the nurses whose beliefs forbid participation in killing the unborn.  It asks also for the hospital to return 60 million in federal funding which it received in 2011,  attorney fees  and relief for the nurses as the Court sees fit.

A Copy of the Complaint filed with the United States District Court in NJ can be found HERE.

Pharmer congratulates the 12 Nurses who have distinguished themselves  by courageously taking action against the hospital, and offers prayers for their success.  (Be encouraged.  There is life, and even a job after this kind of  lawsuit.  Been there, done that.)

Michael Nutter, Philly Mayor Plain Speaking to Flash Mobs and Parents

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter Calls Out Youths, Flash Mobs, and Parents | Video | TheBlaze.com.

All 30 min of Mayor Michael Nutter’s speach is available below.
He calls on the kids to get a job, dress to get a job (no more hoodies and pants on the ground), and for parents to supervise the kids, and for fathers to be more than “sperm donors”.

Highlights:
“If you walk into somebody’s office with your hair uncombed and a pick in the back, and your shoes untied, and your pants half down, tattoos up and down your arms and on your neck, and you wonder why somebody won’t hire you? They don’t hire you ’cause you look like you’re crazy!”
“The Immaculate Conception of our Lord Jesus Christ took place a long time ago, and it didn’t happen here in Philadelphia. So every one of these kids has two parents who were around and participating at the time. They need to be around now.”

* technical note: the Immaculate Conception refers to Mary being born without sin, (Catholic doctrine) rather than Jesus being born of a Virgin (a separate and general Christian doctrine).  But the general message of Mayor Nutter is a good one.

Inquiring Minds Ask -What is the World’s biggest Tick Up To

Did George Soros win 10/1 return on S&P’s US credit rating downgrade? | Mail Online.

There is speculation that George Soros,  the world’s biggest tick, made big bucks betting on a downgrade of the U.S. economy.

It wouldn’t be the first time that he pulled such a stunt, and the UK remembers him well for this.    That’s why the  Daily Mail airs such suspicions.

They speak of inside information needed  to have made such a bet, but really no such thing was required.  It’s obvious that the Obama  government can’t stop spending.    The only thing needed, to create disaster and then profit from it, is a lack of personal ethics, and we know Soros fills that bill.

This is News?

Mark Zuckerberg’s new challenge: Eating only what he kills (and yes, we do mean literally…) – Postcards.

The big Facebook developer, Mark Zuckerberg has decided that this year’s challenge is to only eat the meat of creatures he personally kills, and the requirement is causing his meat consumption to decrease.   So far  his kill list is  fish, lobster, chicken, goat and pig.  The idea he conveys is that people should be thankful for what they’re eating instead of ignoring where it came from.

Says Zuckerberg:  “This year, my personal challenge is around being thankful for the food I have to eat. I think many people forget that a living being has to die for you to eat meat, so my goal revolves around not letting myself forget that and being thankful for what I have.”

Looks as though  Zuckerberg is getting  into his right mind.

Pharmacy Owners Prevail in Court Decision on Blagojevich Edict

Illinois Pharmacy Owners have emerged victorious after six years of litigation against  the state of  Illinois edict compelling them to dispense the morning after pill.

This comes shortly after the approval of a new morning after pill, Ella, which is an analog of RU486, mifepristone.

Francis J Manion of the ACLJ, and Mark Rienzi, of Catholic University’s Columbus School of Law  teamed up as counsel to the pharmacy owners.

Deposed Governor Blagojevich’s original order addressing individual pharmacists had previously been overturned.

Judge Belz  noted that the government had made no effort to advance it’s supposed interest in supplying morning after pills to women prior to April 2010, and had specifically targeted pharmacists of conscience and their religious beliefs.

Pharmacists for Life International has stored the original letter from Blagojevich which threatened pharmacists  with loss of their license to practice if they did not dispense the morning after pill and all other  hormonal birth control products and contraceptives upon demand.

The coverage in the Chicago Tribune is very brief, does not mention the newest morning after pill, and does not mention that the original order to the pharmacists was for them to dispense all drugs labeled as “contraceptives” though most are misbranded.  It does mention an expected  (hoped for) appeal to the case.

On the Advance of Civilization

The United States is at a cross roads. Some of our representatives have gotten a hold of this idea. They have correctly recognized that social issues and economic issues of the United States are intertwined, and that the social issues have to be addressed in order for the economic issues to be resolved.

This is the reason:

The Advance of Human Civilization is fueled by the desire to alleviate human suffering and human need.
If the suffering and need are concealed or erased by killing the victims, there will be no advancement.

We can see this already happening in the countries with socialized medicine. They have decided to stop treatment, and/or kill off those who have too many difficulties, or whose existence is not seen as profitable for the society as a whole. You can see what has happened to their capacities for medical and others scientific innovation. Which country still fosters the most scientific advancement, so that the most gifted people of the world flock here in order to accomplish their aims? It is still U.S.

If we decide to kill people because they have unmet needs, we will cease to advance as a civilization. All sorts of innovations will grind to a halt. We will enter a prolonged depression and dark age.

Listen to the likes of Bachmann, Palin, Cain, West, and the ones who came before them. They have a gut understanding of the main point, given above, though they might not be able to express it in as few words.
These people have the charisma to convey a more hopeful future for humanity, and lead others to it.

Punishing the Prosecutor for Bringing Charges Against Planned Parenthood

Pro-Kline report concealed for months | CJOnline.com.

This is a unique article found in a regular newspaper revealing that Phil Kline, the Kansas prosecutor who brought charges against planned parenthood is being punished by accusations of ethics violations, without probable cause.

The document showing the investigation of Kline, and the  finding no probable cause for  ethics  complaints was willfully kept hidden from Kline and the public.

The Ethics Disciplinary hearing will take place anyway, because it is very important to the Kansas State government to punish those who would dare to bring criminal charges against  its benefactors from the abortion industries.

See also at Jill Stanek’s blog,  the basis for charges that would have been brought against George Tiller, for not reporting the sexual abuse of minors who came to his clinic,  had he not been so well protected by Kathleen Sebelius, who is now head of Obama’s Health and Human Services Dept.   Much more is expected to be revealed at the Ethics trial of Phill Kline.

Keep watch of the colorful Kansas corruption, and finally the case against Planned Parenthood going forward  over at Operation Rescue’s site.

Apple Rejects Manhatten Declaration App. A Financial Issue

Baptist Press – ‘Appalling’: Apple again rejects iPhone Christian ‘app’ – News with a Christian Perspective.

Apple has a need to address the encroaching competition from the Droid series of smart phones, hence the projected Feb 23 launch of iPhones with Verizon.

Recently the gay-sex community has pressured Apple into rejecting the Manhattan Declaration app, which it had originally accepted as containing no objectionable content.

Many gays find the Biblical restrictions on sexual activity  to be offensive, and Apple has  complied with their demands.   The Manhattan app has been resubmitted with 47,000 signatories petitioning for its distribution, and rejected a second time.

The Android operating system and Droid Line of phones work just fine, and supports  many thousands  of great apps.   The most significant app producers are using both platforms for their wares.   Android’s platform is open source,  and  more accessible to programmers.

Pharmer operates the original Droid, and more than one Ipod touch, and is fairly familiar with both markets.

If you subscribe to the Christian teachings on the issues of the sanctity of human life and its generation,  you might wish to  let Apple know that you’ll stick with your Droid, unless they cease their  specific suppression of Christian teaching on these issues, while continuing to host opposing viewpoints.

More on the removal of the Manhattan Declaration from Matthew Warner

Desperate Dems Playing Dirty Down on the Pharm

Eagle Country 99.3 FM | Lawrenceburg, IN.

Out here in S.E. Indiana there are quite a few heated campaigns.  Dems, looking forward to a terrible Tuesday, are playing dirty pool.

We have Dems buying advertisement for the libertarian candidate, Greg Knott in an attempt to split votes away from Todd Young, who threatens to grab the seat held by Baron Hill.

Dems are spending large on television ads smearing the Republican challenger to state legislator Bob Bischoff.

Seems that the Dems have suddenly become quite puritanical about fornication, having forgotten about  perverts Clinton, various Kennedy’s, Edwards, Dodd, and Barney Frank of the Virgin Islands.  They insinuate  that a relationship Jud McMillin had with a woman in Dayton is to be  blamed for his resignation from the Dayton Ohio prosecutor’s office way back in 2005.   The problem is with their timeline, as McMillin turned in his resignation on Aug 25, 05 and the lawsuit brought in fall of 2006 by Crystal Stapleton says their fun didn’t start until Sept 11, 05, OR sometime shortly thereafter.

It’s a bummer  that  the chronology of evidence  turns  the Dem’s ad into a blatant lie.  Pharmer had trouble with Bischoff, to whom she gave several votes in prior years,  allowing this ad to run, in addition to refusing a vote to  discontinue state  funds to planned parenthood. By contrast, McMillin,  a political neophyte,  has thrown support to the local crisis pregnancy center, and showed up to emcee their fundraiser.

These days, the Democrats have gotten so whacked, that one has to question the judgment of a politician willing to run under their banner.

So ‘ol Jud gets the vote, with the hope that this unpleasant political experience cools his tool, and he gets some religion.

Jud McMillan Resigns dated 8-25-05

Finished with Rangel and Waters?

Mental meanderings

California Rep. Waters may face fall ethics trial – Yahoo! News.

Maybe it’s OK for the Dems to do this now…….. after these members of congress have outlived their usefulness.

Two prominent members of the Black Caucus, who would probably lose their next elections anyway, are going to be tossed out for long standing ethics violations.

Charles Rangel and Maxine Waters are the scapegoats to expiate all sins of the Democrats prior to the November elections.    The main function under the table will be to somehow silence these two so they don’t turn on the Dems and tell us where all the bodies are buried.

How will Rangel and Waters be kept quiet??

Remember, it is the dems  who designed the new health care plan……

Is Morality Hardwired?

Babies know the difference between good and evil at six months, study reveals | Mail Online.

It’s worth the time to get a detailed look at these studies,  but the conclusions, thus far,  would  make sense to conservatives.

On the other hand,  lefties  would fight the suggestions that babies know right from wrong very early in life and that  under normal circumstances, it is hardwired to some extent.  It would make them feel abnormal, or as though they had a congenital defect.  (And you know what lefties think should be done to kids with untoward fetal diagnoses.)

The researchers  discussed in the  above linked article observed  that babies showed   marked visual and behavioral preference towards helpful or kind characters, and distaste towards badly behaved characters.

ALSO:

Pharmer subscribes to the idea  that programming to search for God is  hardwired into humans also……..
