Racism Is A Religion Of Hate Wrapped In A Bubble Of Fear

Racism is a religion and or dogma of hate wrapped in a bubble of fear.

Aside From Attacking Surrogate (?) Gay Sir Elton John, Trump Supports Anointed GOP Hastert Heir Jim Jordan As Next Speaker In Montana Rant/Rally

What did Speaker Dennis Hastert do anyway to be eligible for a post 2018 election Trump Presidential Pardon?

Grabbed a few underage boys genitals in the shower? - Hey, balls, pussy, what difference does it matter when Jim Jordan had already been anointed / ordained to succeed Paul Ryan in the Putin Approved S.O.T.U.S.H.O.R. job posting on the Trump/Kremlin team? 

Extremely Focused Trump Now Comparing Himself to Elton John

The #MeToo jab wasn’t even the only time on Thursday that Trump downplayed sexual abuse, of which he has been widely accused. When asked to comment on allegations that Sen. Jim Jordan (R-OH) ignored widespread abuse while he was a member of the Ohio State wrestling program, Trump dismissed the accusations. “I don’t believe them at all,” Trump said. “I believe him. Jim Jordan is one of the most outstanding people I’ve met since I’ve been in Washington. I believe him 100 percent. No question in my mind. I believe Jim Jordan 100 percent. He’s an outstanding man.”

Though he attacked war veterans, Native Americans, rape victims and Sir Elton John, Trump made a point on Thursday to praise authoritarian leaders like Kim (who Trump says would never have met with Obama), Chinese President Xi (“You have to admire him”) and, of course, Vladimir Putin. “You know what? Putin is fine,” the president said. “He’s fine. We’re all fine. We’re people.”

Bill Donohue / Catholic League – Wet Dreams for Actor Tom Selleck No More?

I have been trying for the sake of my own physical and mental health from commenting on anything related to religion lately. My good.  But this I think is more a grown man’s attraction for another man and closeted (suppressed) in the name of superstition and or religion (RC religion to be exact). Not quite legitimate religion I think.

While traveling down low so to speak to try and find how tortured souls, closeted homophobes like Bill Donohue at the Catholic League Mimeograph machine website might be commenting (not thinking) on the recent headlines of kind words for gays from the pope and his crew or tortured souls, closeted homophobe bishops I ran into Bill’s disgust at an actor Tom Selleck.

In another article BTW at the CL site is an article about how “Confused” both the Pope and the Media are about leaked unfinished kind words for “gays” at the current “Synod of Bishops” in Rome…

Well I confess to a certain prejudice. I stopped watching anything the actor Tom Selleck was in long ago once I found out he was a big contributor and card carrying member of the GOP. Mediocre actors need mediocre audiences?

I had to look up what Blue Bloods is as a TV show. See commercials. But don’t want to have to waste any of the precious time I have left on earth in watching a grade “B” Hollywood actor actor like Selleck on a TV Cop Soap Opera show. The grade “B” Hollywood actor Ronald Reagan comes to mind when I think of Selleck and guess what. 

That is the name of the fictional character that Bill Donohue has been getting off on in the past five seasons of “Blue Bloods” of a family of Irish Catholic Cops doing their stuff in New York City with get this, overseen by dad, Commissioner “Frank Reagan” (Tom Selleck) – a load of pre-cum on that fictional name and load of brute power as chief of Police. AHH! Release! (Oh Bill).

Well anyway, Chief Frank Reagan says something nice about da “gays” on his TV show and Bill Donohue wants CBS to cancel the show. Great wet dream if you can pull it off Bill. Have a nice bigoted life.

Masturbation Foreplay (in words):

http://www.catholicleague.org/blue-bloods-committing-suicide/

We’ve (the royal we? Bill and little Willy?) been impressed with the underlying positive message of “Blue Bloods” over the years, as well as its welcome treatment of Catholicism. But after last Friday’s show, we’re now wondering whether CBS is turning on its audience. We’ve been bombarded with complaints following the last episode.

Police Commissioner Reagan cannot defend the Church’s teachings on homosexuality, so when Catholicism is branded an “anti-gay faith,” he replies, “Well, I do believe the Church is a little behind the times on this.” Indeed, he goes so far as to say, “I do believe the Church is backwards on this. And of all the stands to hold onto. In the midst of the scandals of the past decade.” Viewers also meet a conflicted Cardinal Brennan, and a proud lesbian, Sister Mary.

The Bible is “anti-gay.” That is the logical conclusion that unfolds in this episode. The show also misrepresents the sexual abuse scandal: almost all the molesting priests were practicing homosexuals. Moreover, the scandal ended in the mid-1980s, thus showing how far behind the times the show’s writers are. As for the wavering cardinal and the wayward nun—it is what we would expect from writers who have decided to pivot….

The End of Michael Grimm’s Career in the House of Representatives ? Homophobia or Mere Lack of Social Skills ???

Scotto and Grimm - Man and Super (GOP) Man?
Bully in the House?

The logical next job for Michael Grimm will be at the corrupt Port Authority of New York and New Jersey at one of those infamous many no-show $200K a year jobs, bones, rewards for doing the dirty for the power brokers around the Port of New York and New Jersey.

I see that recently, they put a limit on business that would go into Mariner Harbor’s Port Ivory facility in Staten Island, Grimm’s home base. 

I am sure there is one of those angry Letters to the Editor kind of things posted on Grimm’s website to the Port Authority, letters of feigned outrage that so many possible jobs there will be defaulted over to the Soprano state other end of NYC area shipping in Newark.

If you live in Staten Island, and want to get into Manhattan proper of NYC via Brooklyn, it is $13 dollar toll on the Verrazano, a piece of crap bridge built by Donald Trump’s father, on the cheap, no walkway for pedestrians etc., just a throughway from Jersey to Brooklyn/Manhattan/Long Island.

If you want to shop in Jersey at Sam’s Club or get a better price on gasoline or liquor from Staten Island, it is $13 toll on the three ancient ready to fall down bridges that connect Staten Island to New Jersey. (Like what do they do with $13 round trip tolls like build new bridges or build Port Authority owned billion dollar office towers in downtown NYC?)

There are of course “resident” discounts on the bridge for regular Staten Island commuters with E-Z Pass, the electronic thing in your car window that automatically deducts from you credit card every time you cross a bridge or go through a tunnel.

With all the traffic on bridges, the business of shipping in the Port, Michael Grimm is not on any transportation committee but his expertise from being a so-called FBI undercover agent on Wall Street is financials. I wonder how may nickel and dime "Penny Stock" brokers Grimm's undercover work brought to "Justice"? No big bankers or brokers for sure. Too big to prosecute.

His joint bill, Grimm/Lautenberg in the House/Senate proposed legislation to have the Federal Government monitor and approve Toll Increases in NYC, it was a dead in the water bill from day one, filler for the congressional newsletter. Look at what I say I am (not) doing for the people of my district. Yeah right. Etc.

Which leaves us with a Representative’s overcharge of Testosterone on a NY1 News Reporter in a Capitol office building with a fancy show balcony that is usually used for photo ops by the media with various members of the Congress.

The NY1 news station is channel One on the Time Warner Cable package, one of several available to customers in the NYC market.  It is almost a non-news show with what is mostly repeated from mainstream items and the usual local clips, pictures of schools, school children from Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island every couple of hours to appear relevant in an academic sense. 

You do not get breaking lead news from NY1. So in a sense Reporter Michael Scotto I doubt makes 50K a year in a faux cable news business.

So it would seem unusual for Michael Scotto to bait Michael Grimm with a question about a long standing on hold “ethics” matter, on automatic hold in the Republican controlled House. Wink. Nod.

And Michael Grimm has a good ole boy cowboy reputation in the GOP. The kinda a guy still locked in eternal High School manhood and not knowing jack shit about love, sex or lady parts etc.

Mike no doubt was with a mixed group including Democrats when he peed in the Galilee Sea in Israel on some paid for by taxpayer fact finding jucket etc. and rumored to be skinnydipping with the boys, "real men" of the GOP and Dem parties. LOL

http://thisculturalchristian.blogspot.com/2012/08/staten-island-gop-skinnydipping-sausage_4570.html

Which makes me think that Michael Scotto, the cable reporter was possibly getting a pound of flesh out of a probably love hate relationship of media sound bites where on more than one occasional no doubt Testosterone Mike let Michael Scotto know his place in the feeding chain of life in that it is no secret that Scotto is openly gay. Whatever.

http://gawker.com/were-michael-grimm-s-threats-against-a-gay-reporter-hom-1511852464

It is well known among people who know and work with him that Scotto is gay. “Within the station community it’s pretty well known,” one colleague told Gawker. The 35-year-old political reporter didn’t ask Grimm about anything pertaining to sexuality, so it’s unclear, based only on the video, why Grimm issued a series of insults aimed at questioning Scotto’s masculinity—a common weapon of homophobes seeking to torment and marginalize gay men.

And the point here was to torment Scotto. “You’re not man enough,” Grimm seethes. “You’re not man enough.” And embarrass him, too. You can’t see it in the video, but his colleagues and other reporters were watching the entire thing from a few feet away.

We don’t know whether Grimm was aware of Scotto’s sexuality, and his office didn’t acknowledge our repeated attempts to contact the congressman. The men know each well enough, though. “He and Congressman Grimm have worked together professionally for a while,” NY1’s Washington bureau chief Jennifer Babich told Gawker. “But this is the first time [Grimm has] said anything like this.” (Babich added that the men “have had several interviews” together.) At the very least, they were known quantities to each other.

Queen of White Trailer Trash Sarah Palin - Regina Vagina - Defends Phil Robertson's Duck DynASStee Sh*t Remarks On the Good Negroes of His Youth

"See. Main Street Wasilla. Not a single Negro. It's safe to visit. I swear."

Sarah Palin, Regina Vagina, Queen of the **nts, Defends Phil Robertson's Right to Remember the friendly Darkies of his Youth. 

Duck Shit coming our of Phil's mouth?

He also made comments regarding race and growing up in Louisiana before the civil rights era."I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash. We're going across the field. ... They're singing and happy. I never heard one of them, one black person, say, 'I tell you what: These doggone white people' -- not a word!" 

Pre-entitlement, pre-welfare, you say: Were they happy? They were godly; they were happy; no one was singing the blues," GQ quotes Robertson as saying.

Pastor Rafael Cruz – Hatred of Women / Fear of VAGINA – Misogyny – Like Father Ralph; Like Son Ted Cruz?

The latest rant from Ted Cruz’s father if he is Ted Cruz’s father would appear to be an attack on liberals for using politically correct words or phrases to confuse the mail order preacher certificate pastor dad.

That when liberals use pro-choice – it is wrong – the opposite of pro-life should be pro-murder??? Or so the undocumented alien from Cuba says to his Negro Hating, Vagina Hating, Gay Hating audiences mostly in redneck red states.

Abortion is Religious Right Right Code for the feared word and world of VAGINA.  A fear and or hatred of women and or their body parts as legislated and probed of late by state level TEA PARTY Probers. 

Considering that his first wife, now deceased, was a professor of linguistics, he obviously never learned anything about the use and flow of language when she probably wrote his college papers for him, when he lived with her. His first daughter too is passed away.

When one sees the Rafael Cruz (Dysfunctional) Family on stage, you only usually see Ted.

No Women. No surviving Daughter. No Step Daughters. No ex-wife - No Ted’s Mom.  

RELIGIOUS SAUSAGE FEST and the travelling Cruz gypsy grifter side show collecting all those tens of millions for political graft PAC money laundering.

Religion. Homophobia. Misogyny. Coded Hate. Fear of Life. Fear of Woman. Fear of Sound Government. Rafael Cruz. Ted Cruz. 

Yuck!

Devil's Dictionary (Revised) - Ambrose Bierce - Definition of Homophobia

Homophobia:

Hiding in a corner with your sexual fears masked in cock sure male (un)certainty – fear of what is sex, what is it all about, how do I use it, and with whom do I use it(?). The fear is not the Homo part but rather the “with whom” part regarding human sexuality.

GOP Vice President Slot to be Vetted by Opus Dei ?

Benedict's Consigliere (Opus Dei)

Considering how fast the far right closeted homophobes got rid of a competent right wing soldier, open gay guy Richard Grenell, off of Romney’s staff, one has to wonder who really is running the Bishop’s GOP Presidential bid/campaign, which faction, which church, which group agenda???

Beth Meyers, Bishop Romney’s nominal vetter for the GOP Vice Presidential position is out there officially. 

One has to wonder if a token female or temporary “honorary white Mormon male” on the Bishop’s staff is going to make any real decisions regarding the VP slot. Rhetorical question. Whose approval does she have to seek into order to give Mitt the "final list" of VP fodder?

There is an article in the press about the pope setting the Opus Dei dogs loose to sniff out and find leaks in the Vatican, especially the ones exposing financial corruption with crony contracts on the Vatican’s dime. They certainly are not sniffing out the sex crimes end of the Vatican business etc. Everybody seems to have a dirty little secret to hide in the Vatican on that playing field.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/apr/26/pope-opus-dei-vatican-leaks?newsfeed=true

So the whistleblower so to speak Archbishop Carlo Vigano gets demoted to Papal Nunzio to the United States. What does that say to you?  Who is the Pope’s real man in Washington D.C. with Vigano at the head of the Nuncio’s Palace in Washington?  One has to wonder in an election year, who is in charge? Who will get the carbon copy of Bishop Romney’s list of Catholic Vice Presidential candidates from Beth Meyers?  

Can Bishop Rmoney just appoint any VP or does he need final approval from Opus Dei, sacred arm of the pope?

One has to wonder how all this Mormon Catholic USCCB protocol has to be worked out in the politics of this years election? One even has to wonder if there is a secret Vatican Concordat back in 2010 between the Vatican and the Mormon Church’s State of Deseret, once recognized by Pius IX because of its pro-slavery policy during the American Civil War etc. 

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/belief/2010/feb/26/mormon-catholic-eugene-george

Just comes to mind who Bishop Romney could appoint as VP running mate, they are Chris “loud mouth” Christie, Marco “soft spoken” Rubio, Bobby “Hindu” Jindal, Rick "I'm not a homo" Santorum and pops over the hill, Newt “I’m Brilliant” Gingrich.

Am I leaving out any other catholics on the Romney VP ticket list?

Father Bill Breslin and his Cafeteria Dogma

Reading Father Bill Breslin’s Blog, regarding his disposal of children he does not like out of his Sacred Heart of Jesus School in Boulder Colorado, says something to me.

The Heart of the Matter

If a child of gay parents comes to our school, and we teach that gay marriage is against the will of God, then the child will think that we are saying their parents are bad. We don't want to put any child in that tough position - nor do we want to put the parents, or the teachers, at odds with the teachings of the Catholic Church. Why would good parents want their children to learn something they don't believe in? It doesn't make sense. There are so many schools in Boulder that see the meaning of sexuality in an entirely different way than the Catholic Church does. Why not send their child there?

I am reminded of the words of Saint Paul – Romans 13:1-7 – and obeying civil law.

1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.
3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.
4For he is God's servant to do you good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword for nothing. He is God's servant, an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of conscience.
6This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God's servants, who give their full time to governing.
7Give everyone what you owe him: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. (NIV)

I see that Colorado shot down Domestic Partnership by a very slim margin in 2006.

You may not be breaking the law yet in Colorado Father Breslin with your institutional Homophobia. When Colorado does legalize Domestic Partnership and or Gay Marriage, you will have to obey the law as the Apostle Paul compels and does not suggest, or you will have to close your teaching institution if you continue to discriminate.

You all talk about cafeteria Catholics choosing what to believe. I think it matches the Cafeteria Dogmas of clergy these days who will fight tooth and nail to prevent abortion and then shrug their shoulders with total indifference once a child is born.

Something missing in that equation I think. Namely true Humanity aka Christianity.

How Goes Maine So Goes The Nation ?

The political saying above was about Presidential Elections that saw the State of Maine voting for the winner 90% of the time in the past century. Maine in the past seemed to be right in the middle but on the fine winning edge of how to judge the mood and course of the nation.

Gay marriage has come to Maine. There is obviously something going on out there in the world. Being the flaming liberal that I am, I believe in equal rights and opportunities for everyone. The liberal in me is also still a little bit homophobic. That is what I was taught in the American Culture that I grew up in. The American Culture I will die in someday in the future will have Gay Marriage almost everywhere. Theory is one thing. The facts staring at you in the face is quite a different thing. It will take some getting used to (for me at least).

I have known and socialized with Gay people in the past. Having lived on and off in NYC for close to a quarter century, it is impossible not to know any gay people. Live and let live has always been the common attitude for the most part. Hate crimes can happen just as easily here in NYC as they do in Wyoming. Social mores can change. Human nature remains the same.

This is where the paradigm shift happens in our Global Culture. This is where there are no real roadmaps. What was described in the Bible as a no-no is now getting mainstream secular attention. Without a Constitutional amendment supporting rights to gay marriage I would guesstimate this status will be a permanent civil function of a dozen to half the fifty states in the next decade. Once the novelty, fear and bias wears off, perhaps all or almost all states will recognize this as a legal status.

Isn’t it odd how so much of what the common culture now wants comes from the culture itself and not from tradition and not from sacred texts anymore? The secular state has arrived even with all the right wing evangelists screaming and kicking and spouting ancient words every step of the way.

What I first thought of as a Global Town Square and as perhaps a variation of the old concept of the “global village” is nothing quite as I imagined it to be – today.

We all not in a physical town square anymore. We are in a virtual town square and it is the same in Iowa as it is in New York City. We cling to our homes, our worlds and we wrap ourselves in a bubble with cell phones, iPods, earphones, laptops and centered around the virtual Yellow Pages, Webster’s Dictionary and Sears Catalogue of the new age – the Internet. We reinforce our own view of the world instead of the other way around as it has been for centuries.

My need to be spiritual depends on me. I do not trust the moral authority of the Christian or Catholic Church that I have seen reshape itself into its own financial and survival mode self interests and at the expense I think of the people who once sat in the pews of churches. Even the intimacy of being in a small church or chapel to pray or meditate is dwarfed by Mega churches designed more for rock concerts than spirituality that I feel comfortable with.

Part of my reason for writing this blog has been to keep an ongoing interest and observation of the day to day lives of people in the domestic end of my street and all the way to the national culture generated from Hollywood, NYC or Wash. D.C.. The view I see today is a remarkable but twisted view through a prism.

What I see through that prism I sometimes do not grasp easily or understand but stand by in cautious curiosity and feel that no matter what I see or feel does not matter much. The world and the culture is evolving all around us. I only hope that the end results or the discernible results down the road somehow match what is now, has been and will hopefully remain a human culture.

The future has arrived! (and we all remain pilgrims in search of something)
