Don’t disagree — at least that the NYT would play fast and loose with any language that could be interpreted as undermining conservative principles — but whether the NYT puts their spin on what PF said or mainstream Catholic outlets strain to spin it as nothing new here (which I flatly reject — PF is the equivalent of having Obama in the Vatican), PF, unless he is patently naive or stupid, knew that his comments would be jumped on and presented in precisely this way. Just as the narratives that “Republicans are for the rich” and “Democrats are for the poor” remain unshakable despite the clear, abundant and easily accessible facts to the contrary, so has PF ensured that “the Church must change” will be the tagline for the Church in the public mind. The cover of Newsday today features a large photo of PF’s face over the triumphant cry, “the Church must change”. Try to explain what he “really meant”, try to parse it, try nuance, try to show people why it’s no different from what previous popes have said, etc. Does not matter. PF said what he said, he knew what he was saying, he knew how it would be spun, he intended it. What is most striking to me, as a devout Catholic, is his observation that the Church will collapse if it doesn’t change. Where has he been? The Catholic Church has been collapsing for decades now. And the liberals who have been wielding the sledgehammers causing this collapse believe, like all good liberals (see e.g., the Democrat party, Obama, Pelosi, Bill deBlasio, anyone in government in the state of NY, NJ, MA), that the answer is even bigger doses of the same degeneracy. So, yes, the NYT was twisting his words, but PF knew that they would say exactly what they’ve been saying and everyone would remember precisely what has been drilled into their minds in the last 24 hours: “the Church must change” If PF didn’t know this, the RC Church has bigger problems than the NYT.,

A story in the same vein as yours.

I got to know a retired NYPD cop turned construction contractor, who would share stories of his time on the force, and describe some of the behind-the-scene realities that never got reported. At the height of Mayor Giuliani’s push to clean up Times Square, he was stationed in that area. He said they were blunt and vicious in their dealings with the thugs and savages that needed to be moved out of the area. He said to deal with an animal, you have to act like an animal. He recalled one drug dealer who wouldn’t move out told a cop he had bullets wating for the cop and the cop’s wife. The cops cornered the guy and showed him a handful of bullets. They counted each one, telling the guy, “This one’s for you; this one’s for you wife; this one’s for your mother...” Whatever else they said or did, or however they looked or sounded, the guy was gone the next day. This was one of the tamer stories. And while Times Square has slipped some due to the need to pull cops out of the area for patrols related to terror threats, and Mayor Bloomberg has turned the once great “Crossroads of the World” into the world’s biggest food court, Mayor Giuliani and cops like this did clean up what was a human sewer for many years.
There are a lot of stories like this and the one you tell. (A friend told me his NYPD cop father was told to go not for the skull, but for the collarbone with the nighstick). That’s the only way. Like feral animals, they sense fear and attack, and laugh as they’re released back on the street. But, also like feral animals, they know when they’re up against a force that doesn’t go in for the nonsense, and when they’re going to get their heads cracked, so they move along.

Good luck with that, T. Pole!

And watch your mouth. Your resort to name-calling in the face of criticism tells the posters on here exactly where you fall on the political spectrum. Faced with the truth, a true lib will always resort to ad hominem attacks.

And, given the news that the police have decided these attacks will not be classified as a hate crime, I can only say, Way to go! Looks like you’re all over that “clean up”.

It would take just one man with a shotgun picking them off one by one as in any zombie movie or movie where they’re infected with “the rage”...take your pick. Boom! Splat! Boom! Splat! It would end in a heartbeat. Of course, there would then be the incessant outrage and on-air tears on nightly new programs devoted to white racism violence with no mention at all of what precipitated the response, and then the lawsuits from obnoxious little nudges from “men” named Harvey and Barry.

Absolutely unbelievable.

Where have you gone, Mayor Daley (the real Mayor Daley) and Mayor Rizzo? This type of thing would have ended before it started courtesy of the end of a nightstick of some giant Irish cops. Can anyone believe these men were Democrats given what that party has become?

God help us all.

Oh, and citizens of WI: 1) you get what you vote for, 2) wake up! and 3) get some ballz.

Of course it’s an Islamic crescent moon. Google spends a lot of time on their logo and much thought went into not only the sun-touched cloud and flag, but also its placement: behind the small “g”, completely over the “l”, and with just that much “e”. Showing.

The folks at Google are from the “Tee hee” crowd. Like the child who puts his finger close enough to their sibling’s nose to tickle the tiny hairs but not make contact, while taunting, “I’m not touching you...” the folks at Google pull crap like this and just wait for someone to call them on it, so that they can go on CNN and roll their eyes and flip their wrists and mock, “Oh, get a life people! Duh, like we really sit around thinking up ways to insult our troops. You Republicans really need to get ‘beep’ Oh, tee hee, tee hee... I’m sorry.” And then Matt Lauer or some other MSM drone can wrap it up, self-righteously declaring, “Well, there you have it America, there is hate and paranoia out there, it just ain’t at Google.”

It is the reign of the perpetual adolescent.

Huzzah.

A “rare” religious edict...

August 23, 2010!

Let’s all kiss his ass, and what the hell, go on ahead build that mosque at Ground Zero. No hard feelings.

I will give a crap when I hear one, just one, Muslim, around the world or here in America, condemn what happened on 9-11. Don’t just offer that Islam is a religion of peace, blah, blah, blah. Don’t, through (fake) tears, tell us how Muslims were killed on that “tragic” (another offensive PC euphemism for the murder of that morning that makes my blood boil) day. No, stand up! Look into the camera! And condemn those savages! Agree that they should burn in Hell for what they did to this country. Tell us you get why we are mad. Tell us we have every right to be angry and vengeful. Stand up and tell us you are with us, not them.

But, Nope, has never happened. Never will.

Meanwhile, Christians are supposed to drop to their knees, surrender, denounce Christ, flush their rosaries, burn their Bibles, admit they hate black people, admit to every crime against humanity since the beginning of time, every time it’s discovered that someone who committs crime once attended Sunday school.

America better wake the hell up. This is not a small oppressed sect seeking refuge in the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, landing on cold, barren shores or coming off coffin ships destitue and starving, and thankful for the opportunity to live out their lives in a small corner of the world they carve out for themselves. This is all be design and it goes back for centuries. But most Americans are just so damned ignorant of history. And the pop-culture quizzling elite has got its head so far up its perpetually adolescent and impudent ass that we can fully expect to see a Tribeca Film Festival after party with Mayor Bloomberg, Sean Penn, Katie Couric and Lindsay Lohan at the WTC Mosque, punctuated, of course, with a photo op of all attendees kneeling to pray to Mecca, and quotes from Sean Penn about assasinating Sarah Palin and Lindsay Lohan about how she hates hate.

Thanks for the memories, America.

Believing the Imam is insanity.

Supporting the likes of Obama and Bloomberg as they stand with the Imam and mock Americans opposed to the WTC mosque borders on treason.

Continuing to elect them and their cohorts would be cultural and national suicide.

The Little Boy and The Rattlesnake (a.k.a. The Obama Voter and The Rattlesnake.)

The little boy was walking down a path and he came across a rattlesnake. The rattlesnake was getting old. He asked, “Please little boy, can you take me to the top of the mountain? I hope to see the sunset one last time before I die.” The little boy answered “No Mr. Rattlesnake. If I pick you up, you’ll bite me and I’ll die.” The rattlesnake said, “No, I promise. I won’t bite you. Just please take me up to the mountain.” The little boy thought about it and finally picked up that rattlesnake and took it close to his chest and carried it up to the top of the mountain.
They sat there and watched the sunset together. It was so beautiful. Then after sunset the rattlesnake turned to the little boy and asked, “Can I go home now? I am tired, and I am old.” The little boy picked up the rattlesnake and again took it to his chest and held it tightly and safely. He came all the way down the mountain holding the snake carefully and took it to his home to give him some food and a place to sleep. The next day the rattlesnake turned to the boy and asked, “Please little boy, will you take me back to my home now? It is time for me to leave this world, and I would like to be at my home now.” The little boy felt he had been safe all this time and the snake had kept his word, so he would take it home as asked.

He carefully picked up the snake, took it close to his chest, and carried him back to the woods, to his home to die. Just before he laid the rattlesnake down, the rattlesnake turned and bit him in the chest. The little boy cried out and threw the snake upon the ground. “Mr. Snake, why did you do that? Now I will surely die!” The rattlesnake looked up at him and grinned, “You knew what I was when you picked me up.”

I live in NY. I was downtown on 9-11. My wife and I ran for our lives. How about we put that Mosque right next to the Sears Tower. I’ll make sure to send the folks at the Trib a Get Well card when the damned thing comes crashing down.

Damn these idiots to Hell. May they spend eternity as they spent their time on earth, as self-satisfied elitists trying to pass off cowardice as enlightenment, on their knees, servicing the Muslim savages even as they slice their throats.

Pathetic.

I am still waiting for Ted Koppel’s (or that of any MSM personality) two hour TV special where he reads the name of every single soldier killed in Afghanistan, as he felt morally obligated to do for Iraq under President Bush.

Fat chance!!!

“A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.” ~ Robert Frost

Too many Americans have the attention spans of the latest reality show and The Kardashians are actual celebrities. This vapidness, along with their general historical ignorance, the neurotic need to be seen as “green, hip, and diverse,” and the tyranny of political correctness lead them to believe this is just a case of ignorant, racist, white Americans oppressing a poor, misunderstood, noble minority of people to whom we are indebted for, Well everything. Afterall, everything we worked for, built, invented, possess, etc., we stole. I mean, we never have sent a man to the moon if it weren’t for the Indian tribes, the people who hadn’t figured out THE WHEEL!!! by the time Europeans arrived in North America.

In respect of Islam and Muslims, the past 30 years have been one more battle in a centuries old war between Islam and the West. A savage war, a back-and-forth war, a war for existence, though, of course, only The Crusades are mentioned as examples of brutality and expansion. (The more things change...) This is no small matter of a small oppressed minority coming to our shores to seek refuge. Like the USSR/Russia, the Chinese, and Obama and Co., Islam has surely learned that America will not be defeated by arms. They will be defeated from within via their own greed, their moral degeneration, their militant Godlessness (the foundation of Western civilization a.k.a. Christendom.)and their weepy, soppy, bleeding-heart guilt. They know that America will will hand it all to them on a silver platter if they just cry racist long enough. And it is so pathetic that this is what will do it. Guns and bombs could not do it, Drugs could not do it. Race guilt and affluence guilt along with Godlessness will bring us down, as we all dance around in flip-flops and shorts with dogs in purses and ipods in our ears. But don’t worry, if we’re just nice to these savages as they press the cold steel of their blades and gun barrels to the temples of our children and women, they’ll realize how cool we are and let us continue to party on.

Quite sadly, it is always been about race and will always be about race for too many black Americans, and this will keep forever keep them — both those who think this way and, unfortunately, those who don't, as well — either at the bottom or dependent for their success on the government and some affirmative action type scheme that just breeds resentment, traditionally among ethnic whites, and now among other groups who manage to assimilate through hard work and brains and traditional values: Asians, Indians, and for all the knocks they take in connection with the immigration issue, even Hispanics who are part of the landscape in states like TX, NM, CO, etc.

I have always believed this and I am compelled to make this entry because it was brought home to me so clearly last week as I walked past the corner of Wall Street and Broadway in downtown Manhattan. A middle-aged white man had a table set up with posters and leaflets urging the impeachment of Obama. There were words about Glass-Steagall. There was a picture of Obama with a Hitler mustache. One poster read, Impeach the Idiot. I didn't stop because I was pretty sure this man was the same man I've seen all around town urging action on different issues. The kind with a shopping cart and boom box jiggered a clothes hanger antenna somewhere nearby. However, what did cause me to slow down and take notice was what I came to realize was an argument between this man at his table and a young black man hanging out of the window of his Verizon company truck.

The guy in the truck — with a job with a major employer (something upwards of 20% of the workforce would kill for right now, including yours truly) — was berating this man as a racist, shouting something about how if it was the 50’s or 60’s, he would not have been able to walk in the man's yard. I couldn't make out what the man was saying, but there was NOTHING about his posters that knocked Obama as a black man. It was all about him being stupid and incompetent. Yet racism is all that this young black man saw. And by his appearance, I can tell you that he was probably born in about 1980. Which is not to mention that, No, you would not have been allowed near this man's house, or my family's or anybody’s. It's called private property.

But here is this guy. He's got a job that my father — a second-generation Irish_American (Can you say, NINA)— had for 40+ years, a good job, a job that is a ticket to the middle class, a job that at least says you've got responsibilities, that you have arrived and ALL this guy sees is racism in honest criticism of Obama.

I am an Irish-American. I am a devout Catholic. The Kennedy's can kiss my pasty royal Irish ass. And DO NOT get me started on the Catholic Cuomos, Pelosi, Casey of PA, etc.

As an aside: I was at a wedding in TX, talking to the father of the groom. He was a man's man, a real old-time Texas type. His son was marrying a girl of Mexican descent. He said, “You're going to see more and more of this,” referring of course to the melding of the cultures, Mexican-American assimilation. I couldn't disagree as I am Irish-American from NYC and my wife is Mexican American from South Texas. He added that “blacks had their chance and blew it” referring to their inability or unwillingness to get down off the victim platform, deal with the idiots who are never going to go away no matter how many PC laws are passed, and take their place in this amazing country.

Who believes that in the wake of the next large scale attack that this limp-d*ck opportunist will be seated at the table before the hearing panel and begin his testimony by turning around to the chamber to apologize for the way the government failed them, as he did at the 9-11 hearings?

Fat chance. If anything, following the next attack which will surely be on Sheik Obama’s watch, this clown will list and praise all that the Sheik and the Dims did to protect the American people and explain how it could have been so much worse, i.e., success measured by jobs, er, I mean lives, saved. I have no doubt his sermon to the American people in praise of the Dims, provided he can speak with Obama’s ___ in his mouth, will be peppered with explanations about how it never would have happened if Bush had just reached out.

Thankfully, when the next large attack occurs, no matter what morons like this clown say, Americans might finally throw off the delusion they’ve been living with since 2008, when they began thinking of voting for Obama, push clowns like Dick Clarke out of the way, like the pointless little turd that he and his ilk are, and do what has to be done.

Recommended reading: “Goodbye, Good Men / How LIberals Brought Corruption into the Catholic Church” by Michael S. Rose.

An account of how slithering, slimy, self-loathing and hateful dyke nuns and gay priests, along with their accomplice aggressively secular psychologists have gone about advancing their radical agenda via the vocations selection process.

I have little doubt this has gone on and continues to go on. I am a devout Catholic. Upon moving to a new town I answered the local parishes call for RCIA instructors. I was called in for a meeting. The person conducting the interview was a lay person, a woman. OK. But everything about her screamed bitter, frustrated lesbian, who was angry about not being able to run the whole show. As we discussed the RCIA program, I made clear my orthodox views of the Church on abortion, men-only ordination, gay marriage, etc. She was working so hard to keep the steam to keep from coming out of her nose and ears that I thought her head would explode. She shut right down. The meeting went on for another few minutes as I asked a few polite questions that were met with grunts and scowld. But, needless to say, I did not get a call back.

And don’t get me started on my own parish’s refusal to speak out in the healthcare reform debate or — in the world turned updside down category — on the issue of abortion. Those of us who’ve approached the clergy on pro-life issues have been told to stand down out of respect for those who are pro-abortion. Can anyone imagine attending a NOW meeting where the hysterical harpies are told to tone it down out of respect for the men in the audience? Or the lunatics and zombies at an Obama rally being told they must respect the Republicans who might be in the crowd?

It’s no wonder the Church is in the trouble it is.

As was evidenced in the health care debate, they have no clue as to whom and what they are dealing with. Their faith in statists, secularists, communists, and militant homosexuals is tearing their flesh piece by piece. They treat these elements as Obama treats terror states.

Greece crumbled. Rome faded away. England took itself down. The U.S. is doing the same. If the Church is what it says it is — the truth, the way, God’s kingdom here on earth, built upon Peter the Rock, it should start acting that way.

OhmiGod! You’re right. I stand corrected. They were only shot.

I take back everything I said.

What race were they? I wonder if it even happened at all. Just spent 15 minutes searching the(once-great, now liberal rag)NY Daily News online and could find no mention of this event. Three dead, 100 hurt in Mayor Mike’s Mall and not a word?! Well, I guess that’s one way to avoid dealing with those pesky little things like facts, descriptions of the culprits, etc.

Hello-o-o-o 1970’s! Especially with a out-of-towner, outer-borough-despising, elitist Euro-phile like Mike Bloomberg fooling the all the same idiots who thought Chairman Zero would wave his magic wand and turn NYC into one big bicycle path and Whole Foods Market.

And I am a native New Yorker, a product of the people who built this city, who wonders everyday, “Hey, Snot-nosed Brats, fart-dust socialist poseurs, enviro-fascists and twenty-something, flip-flop, girlfriend’s dog-walking sissies, Where’s My City!”

Oh, Yes, tremendous mettle. I mean, the opposition and criticism he faced from the MSM was withering. The non-stop broadcasting of the protests and arguments of the majority of Americans who opposed his reforms must have caused him to shiver and shake. And the ferocious attacks from the GOP across the aisle — modern-day William Wallace’s (LOL) — not to mention the courage and will of the Catholic Church (I am a devout Catholic and if I heard one more time from the pulpit that “we favor healthcare reform, we just want it to respect life,” I was going to spit. I begged the priests in my church to speak out against this evil and they insisted it would not pass, there was nothing to worry about...well, good, go on believing that these communists are on yours side.)

Right or wrong on the Iraq War, George W. Bush showed true mettle and risked his political capital. Same goes for Ronald Reagan in standing up to the USSR. LBJ ran. Carter was a p*ssy. Clinton had the press on their knees, waiting behind Monica for their turn. For this clown, they’re also in line, but this time they’ve got knees and elbows on the ground and they’re facing away from The One. And I think I see plenty of GOPers there in line, too.

“The people” of this nation have opposed this fraud and charlatan, those with a brain have done so since long before he was ever elected. Problem is there is presently no one to lead them, no one with courage, no one with conviction, no one with vision, strength, or sufficient belief that if they will only articulate the greatness of this nation and its values, ideals, and traditions, they will not only defeat Obama, but send all his Communist, pervert, deviant, ugly, lazy, theiving, elitist rats scampering away with him.

Political mettle my ass. Bart Stupak...oooooo, scary!! When that is your opposition, you don’t need mettle, you just need a few, dope-addled, sexually deviant, perpetual adolescents in the federal government to send a few bucks from the federal trough his way.
