Dan Cathy - "I built it myself" - Coded Hate Message - Chick-fil-a

Bottom line - gay bashing is still fairly legal in places and any pronouncement from Dan Cathy and his wonderful Family is code.

Dan Cathy would probably like to refuse service to African Americans as well but that would bring his holier than thou house of cards, chicken shacks down on him like a tower of babel.

Dan Cathy takes encouragement from the far right, the Baptists, Mormons and RC hierarchy in his direct and coded hate message on humanity.

Bottom line - the new global secular culture is many times more moral, humane than the old guard represented by "I Built It Myself" Dan Cathy types and friends.

Barclays Employees Give Romney Campaign $207,500

Libor cheats at Barclays London have given old Mitt money for his campaign.

Is that legal to takes bribes from foreigners?

They won't want favors regarding fixing worldwide loan Libor rates? Will they?

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/breaking-news/romney-causes-stir-in-britain/story-e6freuz9-1226436272277

The meetings come a day after the Daily Telegraph newspaper published a story quoting an unidentified Romney campaign adviser saying the Republican believes the US relationship with Britain is special because of shared "Anglo-Saxon heritage" and the White House doesn't appreciate that shared history.

Romney quickly distanced himself from any such view.

"I don't agree with whoever that adviser might be," Romney told NBC News, "but do agree that we have a very common bond between ourselves and Great Britain."

Later Thursday, Romney planned to hold a high-dollar fundraiser. One of the hosts, former Barclays CEO Bob Diamond, withdrew from the event after he resigned in the wake of a rate-rigging scandal involving British banks.

Diamond had already sent a check for $US2500 ($A2430). So have 82 others who listed their employer as Barclays or Barclays Capital on US Federal Election Commission records.

Romney Trashes London Olympics - He Could Have Staged Them Better

Romney meets in London with somebody supposed to be important. 

Mitt Willard Romney put his silver foot in his mouth again when he compared his 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics with the behemoth British effort for a "full English" style Summer Olympics. 


Put away your earmuffs Mitt. There ain't no snow in London today. 


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-18995166

US presidential candidate Mitt Romney has predicted a "very successful" Olympics, hours after talking of "disconcerting" signs in London.

He backtracked while meeting PM David Cameron, after telling US TV Britain may not be ready to stage the Games.

He said all Games saw "small" mistakes and he had seen "great progress" in the UK. But his remarks were later seized on by London Mayor Boris Johnson.

The Republican contender will take on Barack Obama in November's election.

In the contest for the Republican nomination, Mr Romney made much of the fact that he delivered a successful Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in 2002, when he was chief executive of the event.

Speaking to reporters outside 10 Downing Street, he said he had been impressed by the enthusiasm of "millions of people across Great Britain" who had turned out for the torch relay.

Mr Romney said he "applauded the work of the organising committee in bringing the Olympic experience right into the heart of London".

Hours later, London Mayor Boris Johnson played on Mr Romney's earlier comments while revving up a crowd of thousands of people in London's Hyde Park.

Calling London "the greatest city on earth," Mr Johnson told the crowd: "I hear there's a guy called Mitt Romney who wants to know whether we're ready. Are we ready?"

Censorship at the London Olympics

Is this 2012 or 1936?

Rich man oligarch rules in place in London for one of their own – Willard Romney.

PAC pulls ad offline at Olympics’ request

An ad from the pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA has been pulled off YouTube at the request of the International Olympic Committee on copyright violation grounds, and the group has voluntarily taken the ad offline and will not be running it on television. 

The ad used footage of Mitt Romney from the 2002 Salt Lake City Games’ opening ceremony to suggest that the former Massachusetts governor loves sending jobs and money to other countries. 

Priorities USA is not protesting the decision, because the United States Olympic Committee is asking that Games footage not be used in any political ads.

Paisley Bishop Tartaglia states that - Gayness causes Pancreatic Disease

Cardinal Ray Burke sponsored protégé bishop Philip Tartaglia of Paisley Scotland, soon to be Archbishop of Glasgow (poor bloody funking Glasgow), has jumped into the medicine science realm and questioned why nobody has questioned why British MP David Cairns died suddenly at age 44.  It was not the disease of Acute Pancreatitis but his Gayness?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2178762/Archbishop-Philip-Tartaglia-suggests-MP-David-Cairns-died-44-gay.html

Anger as archbishop suggests MP who died from organ failure at age 44 perished 'because he was GAY'

One of Britain’s most senior Roman Catholics has sparked fury by suggesting an MP and former minister died because he was gay.

The new Archbishop of Glasgow, Philip Tartaglia, said society had kept ‘very quiet’ about the death of Labour MP and former Scotland Office minister David Cairns.

Mr Cairns, a former Catholic priest himself, died in May last year at the age of 44 from acute pancreatitis.

But Bishop Tartaglia questioned why his body ‘just shut down’.

(Bishop Tartaglia’s office refused to offer the bishop’s opinion on other world events like the pending outcome of the Galileo Trial in Rome.)

In the Loop with Archbishops Dolan, Chaput and Ross Douthat of the New York Times (wink, nod)

Archbishop Charles Chaput (left) evangelizing the faith.

The best of the best New York’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan has quoted the best of the best wordsmith Archbishop Charles Chaput of Philadelphia declaring Philly to now be “Mission Territory” after decades of crime and coverup under the Cardinals Krol, Bevilacqua and Rigali crime regimes.

Timmy, in typical alpha male mode for the USCCB has volunteered the Archdiocese of New York as “Mission Territory” as well and is likely petitioning the Congress at this very moment for tens of thousands guest worker visas for Catholic missionaries from South America, Africa and South Asia to swarm over North America and save it and or offer it up to the oligarchs on a silver platter for a good price or place at the table in the new world order of things.

There was a time when Rome used to send the best of the best of Europe to missionary territories in the New World and up against the dominant Protestant Christian Culture of the young United States.

What have you done to my (Philly) church?

Bishop (Saint) John Neumann, a Sudetenland German, as fourth bishop of Philadelphia missionary territory laid the foundation vision that built the largest, superior Catholic education system in the United States, perhaps the world, that stood for almost a hundred years until the Krol, Bevilacqua, Rigali regimes started to strip the wealth of the Philly church, shipping cash over to Solidarity in Poland for General Wojtyla to oppose the Russkies etc. along side CIA allies and Ronald Reagan (bow your head).

These problems kill a Christian love of poverty and zeal. They choke off a real life of faith. They create the shadows that hide institutional and personal sins. And they encourage a paralysis that can burrow itself into every heart and every layer of the Church, right down to individual Catholics in the pews. The result is that Philadelphia, like so much of the Church in the rest of our country, is now really mission territory–again; for the second time...  

First, religious freedom is a cornerstone of the American experience. This is so obvious that once upon a time, nobody needed to say it. But times have changed. So it’s worth recalling that Madison, Adams, Washington, Hamilton, Franklin, Jefferson–in fact, nearly all the American founders–saw religious faith as vital to the life of a free people. Liberty and happiness grow organically out of virtue. And virtue needs grounding in religious faith... 

We’re becoming a nation where, as Ross Douthat describes it, “a growing number [of us] are inventing [our] own versions of what Christianity means, abandoning the nuances of traditional theology in favor of religions that stroke [our] egos and indulge, or even celebrate, [our] own worst impulses.” And it’s happening at a time when the Church is compromised by her own leaders and people from within, and pushed to the margins or attacked by critics without...

Bain Capital – Phony Crony Capital – Putting Lipstick on a Pig

What is coming to light in the political spotlight of Mitt Romney’s quest for the White House is the manner in which his company sought capital and made money, profits by sacking existing companies and their assets, pension funds, repackaged the company’s spreadsheet image, sold the companies for huge returns on junk bond capital and turned around and did the same thing on the next victim company acquisition of Bain Capital.

One of the causes of the stock market crash of October 1987 was a market floating on inflated junk bond capital raised by Michael Milken at Drexel Burham Lambert and similar imitators.

http://articles.boston.com/2012-06-24/business/32383267_1_junk-bonds-bain-capital-refinances-debt

The market bubble that burst in 1987 was a bubble that fueled the Savings and Loan bubble that burst shortly thereafter. This invented high risk money fueled speculative building in office buildings, shopping malls, golf courses and housing all over the west. Because of the junk bond model pretty much invented by Milken at Drexel Burnham and used in speculative investments funded in loans by banks, savings and loans, guaranteed by the federal government, the S & L debacle got dumped on the American taxpayer during the Bush 41 regime.  700 to 800 billion back then, now about a trillion and a half of the present national debt with over twenty years interest added on.

The only big fish punished back then was Charles Keating, heavily into the newly deregulated S & L industry, separated from regular commercial banking in that their base was savings used almost exclusively in financing housing real estate and not necessarily commercial building, office buildings, malls and apartment complexes that fed on easy junk bond funding once deregulation went into effect.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Keating

Bain used Drexel Burnham junk bond capital to fund its early vulture capitalism projects.

Michael Milken and Charles Keating were eventually tried and jailed for fraud among other things like conspiracy cooking the books and breaking existing laws.  They are now out of jail and back in business. Keating in real estate in Arizona and Milken is a philanthropist giving away some on the money he made from fraud and is now a key player in the next financial racket bubble to burst – EMOs – Education Management Organizations into education for profit, charter schools etc. feasting on the public dime.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Milken

Romney did not break any laws that we know of at Bain.  Indeed, the government swallowed up the losses caused by the Savings and Loan Fraud.  If Bush 41’s admin had prosecuted more smaller fish than just Keating instead of sweeping it all under the rug, maybe the housing bubble burst in the 2008 financial meltdown under Bush 43 might not have been allowed to happen if deregulation of the American banking industry had learned any serious lessons from the Bush 41 Savings and Loan Junk Bond meltdown.

Sadly, so much of what happened in 2008 with the banks was not illegal as stated by Obama.

Things like junk bonds in their time and derivatives and hedge funds today are little understood let alone regulated by realistic laws to protect the public.

Mitt Romney and Bain Capital did not break any laws that we know of.  But taking, looting pension funds from employees, taking other benefits away like healthcare  and outsourcing old jobs to China and India is the way American business operates these days.  Not very Christian by my definition of such.  But Mitt has a Mormon bible besides the Judeo Christian bible by which to live his life.

No doubt the 21 trillion dollars worldwide hiding out in offshore tax havens is part of the reason Mitt refuses to reveal his recent tax returns, that and the 10% of his income donated to his church and their related hate projects ongoing as holy on Temple Square, Salt Lake City.

Putting lipstick on a pig like with Bain Capital operating methods or Mitt’s “humanity” is a metaphor Jesus would understand and be amused by.

Paterno Statue Taken Down at Penn State

Enough said on the matter.

Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie Favors Obsolete Gay Hate Law – Queensland Australia

Apparently Australia has its own version of a “Stand your Ground” right to murder law. In Oz, all you have to claim is that a supposedly gay person grabbed or propositioned you to justify beating that person to death.  The “gay-panic” defense claims that the mere exposure to gayness causes temporary insanity that lead to justified homoside.

I smell the stench on this one of Cardinal Pell’s foul black robes regarding Jarrod Bleijie’s pussying out, backing down on ridding Queensland of this gay hate law.

http://www.frasercoastchronicle.com.au/story/2012/07/20/killer-walks-free-after-just-4-years/

Maryborough priest Paul Kelly, who was one of the first on the scene when Mr Ruks died, was so affected by the man's death that he launched an online petition to remove the defence, that has since gathered signatures from all over the world.

In January this year, in what was hailed as "a victory for common sense", the former state government decided the Criminal Code would be altered to ensure that unwanted sexual advances could not be used to claim provocation, unless in exceptional circumstances.

Following the election, new Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie said he had requested a brief from the department on the issue and would consider the recommendations made by the former Labor government.

But the Attorney-General announced this week that he would not be making the planned changes to the code, and the defence would still be available in violent crimes.

Fr Kelly and Ms Kujala have criticised the decision, saying it was out of touch with the community's expectations.

"This is not a matter of gay rights, it's a matter of human rights," Ms Kujala said.

Michele Bachmann – Batshit to Apeshit Crazy in One Easy Step

What ever happened to “God told me to run for President.”?

Now I guess God has told her to strap on a dildo and pretend to be Joe McCarthy?

She wants to investigate the less than white skinned assistant to Secretary Clinton for being what she is - of Middle Eastern descent. How do you spell racist?

We won’t go into her husband’s Store Front sex shop “therapy” racket.

This is pure crazy.  Lock her up in Bedlam.  Learn how to behave or is this just typical acceptable GOP congressional behavior?

But how do you spell Straight Jacket?

Michele Bachmann links Clinton aide to extremists.Has she gone too far?

For instance, Bachmann's former campaign manager, Edward Rollins, said in a Fox News opinion piece that his onetime boss is being extreme and dishonest. 

“Having worked for Congressman Bachmann’s campaign for president, I am fully aware that she sometimes has difficulty with her facts, but this is downright vicious and reaches the late Senator Joe McCarthy level,” wrote Mr. Rollins on Thursday.

Ross Douthat’s Poison Pen on Religion – New York Times - “All the news that’s fit” to be bought

If you can define the parameters of an argument, you will likely win the argument.

There is a poison in American Religion. It is politics.

It started in the eighties when one third of a modern day version of an Anti-Christ in the form of Ronald Reagan, an actor, was helped into his cushy CEO crony job with the aid of southern bigots aka as “born again” Christians in the form of Jerry Falwell Incorporated. 

The television evangelists labeled their Edsel version of religion televangelism.  There were no warning labels on the make it up as you go along programming and or snake oil product and the resulting wealth brought out the vote for a washed up black and white film “B” Hollywood Actor in 1980. Every marketing success spawns repeat and imitation.

There is a poison in American Religion.  It goes beyond the Bush “Black Purse” ongoing bribe given to churches to dole out soup but not condoms to the poor.

There used to be a fairly decent Religion section the British Newspaper The Guardian. It disappeared one night that coincided with the visit of King Benedict the German of the Vatican 108 acre based money laundering empire.

In fact, I don’t recall The New York Times ever being big on religion or where religion would be booked except in the leisure section is in fact it ever existed.

I guess no doubt the editorial staff heard about all the Religious Politics or is it Political Religion that has poisoned the modern and or virtual American Town Square. FOX NEWS moronity sells papers so to speak and attracts sponsors.

On to the scene of the past few years is the Harvard educated Conservative Ross Douthat to explain modern religion to a seemingly godless liberal New York Times readership. No truth to the rumor that the NYT needed an emergency midnight loan to survive one day back when and the Knights of Columbus, the Roman Catholic Church’s “Black Banker” came through in a pinch, and Ross now has a bought desk, boutique stall, at the grand old lady of news as a concession or condition of that emergency Vatican backed loan?

Anyway, I keep seeing wanna be memes popping up from time to time based on the NYT Vatican Desk in the form of  "TC" theologically correct Ross Douthat articles on a truly global news site that has room even for a token puissant or is it pissant opinion pundit like Douthat.

Memes flow through the blogosphere. There are whole chucks of Catholic and or right wing “Born Agains” or the new flavor of the month title is “evangelicals” blogs that repeat, reverberate and praise the Douthat Vatican echo chamber.

There was quite a stir about the dangerous “Pantheism” theology threat of the Movie Avatar that Ross probably got nominated for a Pulitzer on.  Straight off the secret? GOP/RCC daily talking points sheet. Wink. Nod.

In a way, Douthat is the Ivy League version of the Beer and Sauerkraut Bill Donohue at the Catholic League directed toward the Church Militants, “igorant enlightment” for the lower classes on the right and wrong American Catholic PC political opinion and positions of the hour, day and month these days.  It is not like the Catholics ever read the NT.

Which brings me to the latest politically labeled religion piece by Ross trying to piss on Mainstream American Protestantism.

Can Liberal Christianity Be Saved?

I have read many blogs in response of this piece of political trash masquerading as religion.

Give it a read and form your own individual opinion while you still have that option in a "free" America.

When did any Christianity become “Liberal” or “Conservative”?

Those are political terms!

And once this form of "Boutique Journalism" courtesy of the RNC and Ross Douthat interjects terms like liberal or conservative into the opinion page of the Beard NYT, then the parameters of the argument are already set. The argument is won by the controlling out of touch corrupt 1% elites trying to use one more ploy to prostitute religion into a political matrix of the 2012 election.

Christianity is neither liberal or conservative. It just is.

And for those of you that need a visitor’s guide to Christianity, take the Douthat tour and drink in his religion and in the end wake up in bed with dross of the soul.

Your soul.

Sausage Fest - Penn State Board of Trustees

Sausage fest BTW is an urban street term by where a bunch of males get together to do whatever and their number far exceeds any number of possible females present. Kinda like a motorcycle club.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_State_University

There are 32 members of the Penn State Board of Trustees. With the Governor and State Cabinet members automatic appointees along with the Governor crony appointees, that makes 11 out of 32 or one third of the Board of Trustees beholding to Tom Corbett, the Republican Governor.  No wonder he can be an absentee member at most meetings.  His buddies have got his back.  ( All guys by the way, no females, sausage fest?…)

Then you have about one third of the Trustees appointed by the Alumni.  ( 9 seats – 3 females )

Then the agribusiness people get 6 votes.  Penn State was the original Farming College of the State of Pennsylvania before MasterCard and Visa took over.  ( 6 seats – 1 female )

And the last 6 seats are for business and industry – CEOs/Wall Street – ( 6 seats – 2 females )

That makes 6 females out of 32 or 19% of the Board of Trustees.

But not to worry about the guys outnumbering the chicks. The University sets aside $10,000 out of student activities fees for the one Saturday in November “Cunt Fest” that actually has females trying to address legitimate female issues on a largely outnumbered in the Board Room atmosphere at Penn State.

In a preliminary response to NCAA inquiries, the Board has already set aside $2.6 million dollars of taxpayer's money as a penalty of sorts for the whole Sandusky/Paterno Sausage Fest S.N.A.F.U. situation over at the Athletic Department.  The money is earmarked for Pennsylvania groups dealing with female rape and child abuse issues.

As for the daily and weekend Keg Fest that makes Penn State the drunkest University in the nation, Playboy’s top ten list of Party Colleges does not list Penn State because the top ten list has to do with amateur level and not “professional” industrial strength institutions on the matter of alcohol consumption. Whatever.

All in all a very large isolated dysfunctional secretive male dominated organization funded mostly on the taxpayer’s dime and setting the standards of excellence regarding child rape and criminal cover up etc. in house.

Just a normal slice of 21^st Century Corrupt Crony Corporate American Pie.

Have a nice day.

What is the Carbon Footprint of the extended Romney Family?

What is the carbon footprint on Planet Earth of the extended Romney rabbit hutch, hutches?

I think it a fair question. What is the footprint of empty nesters Mitt and Ann?

What is the carbon footprint of his Trust Fund Sons and their spouses? (His Trust Fund grand kids?) :

Tagg (Taggert)  and Jenn (Jennifer)

Matt (Matthew) and Laur (Laurie)

Josh (Joshua) and Jenn II (Jennifer)

Ben (Benjamin) and Ande (Andelynn)

Craig (Craig) and Mare (Mary)

What is the carbon footprint of Mitt (Willard) and Ann (Ann)’s twelve to fifteen grandkids? I lost track, don’t want to waste my time in researching their name tags, and for the sake of politics, they should remain out of any direct political spotlight? The grown sons and spouses are a different matter.

What is the carbon footprint of Mitt (Willard)’s - how many are there - car elevators? In how many mansions?

His automobiles?


His private jets?

His horses?

His illegal grooms, gardeners, housekeepers and nannies?

The family seems to gravitate between Boston and San Diego, two sons each, and one in Salt Lake City. What is the carbon footprint of a Romney Family Thanksgiving get together? Holy Cow! Etc. 

I know it is not right to ask these non-PC questions about wealth. The new philosophy, civic, Robber Baron American market economy religion says to respect without question what any MAN can steal and keep for his daily bread, even it is a trillion loaves of bread. I perhaps disagree with that on many levels. 

I don’t have the answer to the carbon footprint thing. In a way I never thought about it much until I saw a family portrait of Mitt’s extended brood, combined with his money and I suddenly think that the planet may really be in danger of tipping over into some future cosmic abyss considering the possible scale of electricity and carbon fuel consumption in America with the Romneys as typical example. I could be wrong.

Somebody tell me I am wrong and tell me that the Romney/Bain fortune is being used to Green the world and the future of mankind. How perhaps idealistic of me and how perhaps none of my business?

What is the destructive power of money, robber barons compared to the people who have lost their lives, dignity and purpose in life for the sake of Bain Profits?

What does it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his Bain Dividend?

But it all balances itself out in the third world. Right?

What Romney and his dynasty use up in earth’s resources, those same resources can be denied to starving or better yet never to be born children on the other side of the planet?


It all balances itself out. Right?
