US President Barack Obama says Israel’s call for drawing red line over Iran’s nuclear energy program is just “noise” he tries to ignore -“When it comes to our national security decisions, any pressure that I feel is simply to do what’s right for the American people. And I am going to block out any noise that’s out there,” & here's Iran's Merle Haggard - AHMADINEJAD: “I have spoken about this topic at length, previously. We generally speaking do not take very seriously the issue of the Zionists and the possible dangers emanating from them.Of course they would love to find a way for their own salvation by making a lot of noise and to raise stakes in order to save themselves. But I do not believe they will succeed. Iran is also a very well recognized country and her defensive powers are very clear.” Same speech writers? President Obama and the United Nations are pretty much on the same page. . .and that ain't good.
The nasty and evil but clownish Ahadinijad posing as a world leader demands, "Who is it who determines what the U.S. government must do? Is it the Zionists...? The U.S. government must make such vital decisions under the influence of Zionists?" Netanyahu's insistence, he said, "should be seen as a great insult and taken as such by the people of the United States. Who are these Zionists to dictate to the U.S.?"
The United Nations is nothing more than a forum for Anti-Semitic clowns and tin-pot dictators, it seems to me. The United States of America took oppression and hate by the scruff of the neck in two world wars, only to have American naivete and idealism made a mockery by the people on the edges of humanity. The League of Nations was a land grab scam that gave birth to the Bavarian paper hanger and Viennese pan-handler with penchant for spewing hate and the United Nations evolved into a haven for criminals and genocidal maniacs thanks to likes of timid and self-conscious Americans who were embarrassed by truth telling heroes like Daniel Parick Moynihan, Jeanne Kirkpatrick and John Bolton. Every year, America gets its pants pulled down by the very thugs and louses that two world wars, a Korean "police action." many Mid-East crises and a Cuban Missile Crisis could not quiet, let alone reform. Fidel Castro, the Jung Ils, Nasser, Yasser Arafat, Hugo Chavez, Robert Mugabe and the prize thug Ahmadinejad enjoy the Big Apple and micturate on their hosts. In 2008, Columbia University laid out the red carpet for this Jew-hating creep. He was given another forum from which to spew his venom all the while our home -grown ninnies, nodders and hand-wringers preached about our traditions of fair play. Shortly, after this very same scruffy mope who can't seem to make razors work properly, nor fully understand the intricacies of knotting a tie, opened fire on his own people and slaughtered dissent, while our newly minted Nobel Prize President voted present. Israel is Old Testament rooted and blossomed in the sand and rock equivalent of America's Appalachia after millions of Jews were slaughtered by the Ahmadinejad's Teutonic spiritual pappy. The Jews turned land called Palestine by the British into a green and lush land of productive and happy God fearing people. The long time occupants, like the most aboriginal Scots-Irish mountain-holler dweller maintained feuds, wallowed in filth and never gave progress a second thought. Instead, the Lost Children of Hamas, blanketed themselves in Wahabist Marxism victimhood. When everyone says you are oppressed, you are, by God, oppressed and ready for a feudin'! Clever chaps got Fulbright free education and learned to activist from the likes of Edward Said, a brilliantly evil literary sorcerer. Israelis, he argued, were no different than Nazis. Really. Huge difference, there, Eddie. Edward Said makes sense to minds already convinced that science demands t.he deaths of unwanted children, the elderly, the challenged and the undesirable. . The same mind-set that equates Israel to the Third Reich is convinced that abortion is health care. It is only a short cha-cha to dance from parsing one's reasons for murdering an unborn a child to wholesale genocide. Hitler loved Margaret Sanger and danced a hearty jig to her tune. Jews survived the anti-Semitic slaughter only to be tormented by the Clement Attlee -Harold Macmillan British interested only in preserving the Suez and British Petroleum, who trained the Jordanians and Palestinians of Arab Legion to kill Jews, when necessary. The United Nations, before it was hijacked by its current lunatics, recognized Israel and the Arab World again tried to kill the Jooooos. - 1948 every nation but the Arab States (39-13) voted to recognize Israel. Israel fought the Arab world for its very existence (that means avoid complete annihilation at the hands of these deeply religious folks) and again in 1956, 1966, 1972 wars as well as endless terror strikes, hijackings murders and bombardments - all with the aid of fashionable Marxist International Solidarity. Today, I do not expect President Obama to take the thugs to task, nor do I expect him mention the world-wide idiots who deny the Holocaust, preach the destruction of Israel, pray to some god for the extermination of the Jews and expect to be petted and feted. No, President Obama did not earn his Nobel Prize by being like Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Roosevelt( Teddy & Franklin), Truman, JFK, nor in any way shape or form like Moynihan or Bolton. President Obama will be exactly like his model Woodrow Wilson and come away from the UN speech and history with gallons of pee in his Florsheim's. http://www.algemeiner.com/2012/09/23/both-president-obama-and-ahmadinejad-liken-israeli-concerns-over-nuclear-iran-to-noise/ http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/09/24/breakfast_with_ahmadinejad
"In fact, whether we Americans face up to it or not, we're all redistributionists now . . ." Clarence Page of the Chicago Tribune A real Spartacus moment there Clarence! You know, when Kirk Douglas stands up to take his lumps from Sir Larry at the end of movie and Tony Curtis springs vertical with " I'm Spartacus!" Then, John Ireland and then all the other extras, "I'm Spartacus!" We are ALL Redistributionists! Yes, yes, yes! I'm IN! Forward! I am Willard! I am Jesse! Those are the two scamps who pinched hundreds of Benjamins from Campaign Forward - Obama 2012. Clarence is a scamp his own bad self! Clarence Page was recently under the 'hot lights' of Tribune editorial board over wetting his beak in an ethically challenged cash snatch from a terrorist bundling group:
Page’s crime? A breach of editorial policy. He failed to get advanced approval for a $peaking gig, and the group he $poke for, MEK, makes the Tribune nervous. MEK is an organization of Iranian exiles opposed to the current government and is currently on the State Department’s list of international terrorist groups.WBEZ July 3, 2012
WBEZ - a government funded news organ of record for everything Progressive parsed a bully narrative for Clarence. He was doing only what any red-blooded American 1%er should do -grab some dough! Clarence Page is getting checks from The Chicago Tribune, syndication deals, Bruce Dold approved speaking gigs and of course Public Television not only brought to you in part with grants from Exon Mobile, the Joyce, MacArthur and assorted boarded and looted foundations, but also tax payer dollars. Redistribution of wealth! Clarence gets mine. Yet, I get none of his. Redistribution of wealth is a nice way of saying 'its okay, take someone else's money.' Without going back to the roots of socialism in 1827 England sparked by Malthus and later Jeremy Bentham,Utilitarians, Philosophical Radicals, Marx and Engels, Hegel, Dewey, and all them folks, Redistribution is the key to votes and it costs money. Irony is best served up with white cheddar cheese popcorn, or reading the morning's edition of the Sunday Tribune. Not only is there a serving Clarence Page's work for the Obama Campaign in the opinion section, but also a news item that graphically presents redistribution of wealth.
Bail was set at $100,000 and $75,000 today for two men charged with depositing two checks stolen from President Barack Obama's campaign headquarters into bank accounts they fraudulently opened. A judge Saturday set bail at $100,000 for Jessie Adams, who allegedly instructed Willard Elam and another unnamed man who remains at large to open up bank accounts at separate TCF bank branches in the south suburbs. Adams is charged with one count of organizing a financial criminal enterprise.
Bail for Willard Elam, who is charged with continuing a financial crime enterprise, was set at $75,000 Cook County prosecutors said Elam and the unnamed man were accompanied by Adams and pretended to be business owners of actual companies that work with Obama's presidential campaign.
They opened up the accounts on Sept. 12 and Sept. 13 at TCF Bank locations in two different grocery stores and presented fake documents to open the bank accounts before depositing the checks, one valued at $24,857 and the other at $23,839, prosecutors said.
A comptroller with Obama's reelection campaign caught on to the scheme when two companies complained they had not been paid. It was not immediately clear how the three men obtained the checks, prosecutors said.
Adams, 36, of the 1100 block of Spencer Road in Joliet, works for a general contracting company, and Elam, 48, of the 15500 block of South Drexel Avenue in Dolton, is a laborer, authorities said.
Police said Adams allegedly recruited Elam for the alleged crime.
Allow me to point out the number of uses of said (3)by the Tribune scribe as a paragraphic close - well, said is the word well-said. Allegedly, of course.
It appears that the vetting process in the Obama Campaign takes a page from the mind of Clarence Page - It appears that our two cuffed and processed miscreant Marxists passed themselves off as business men. They do have that Romneyesque quality of corporate person-hood, don't you think? Real country club ( no, not Malt Liqour, you racist!) types, who wear straw boaters and white linen sack suits with collarless white cotton shirts as they croquet their way over the backs of workers. Yep, Clarence says "If Romney really wants to give those low-income voters away, I'm sure Obama would be delighted to take them." Now, these two 'pretended to be businesses men'' which begs the question - " Have Willard and Jesse paid taxes in recent years and are they in fact numbered among the 47% disdained by Romney and therefore embraced by Obama? Hmmmm? Were Willard and Jesse merely going home? Finding the pantry stuffed and heaping board over-flowing with bounty to be taken by all within the warmth of the Obama 2012 hearth? Home, Lads! Home. If Clarence Page can find it within his heart to forgive himself for snatching a fee, but failing to cash it before Bruce Dold found out about it, I am quite sure that WBEZ can and will find a narrative to parse the motives and the actions of Willard and Jesse, the Obama 2012 Marx Brothers. Redistribution - it's what's keeping you from dinner! http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-two-suburban-men-charged-with-stealing-checks-from-obama-campaign-20120922,0,7185084.story
Native Americans are believed to have been provoked following a spontaneous demonstration against the incessant playing of "Garryowen*" by colonialist forces of occupation and some level of physical violence took place near the Little Bighorn River. (developing)
Department of the Interior and Indian Affairs Secretary Hillary R. Clinton - " The playing of an offensive and in fact racist cavalry tune has no place for the sympathies of this Administration."
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney - "Recent events in the Dakota Territory have absolutely nothing to do with . . . nothing to do with U.S. policy.”
June 26, 1876 Obama White House Press Room
Jay Carney -" It seems that Gen. Custer, in complete violation of U.S. Policy and glory hungry opponent of the enlightened and inclusive policies of President Ulysses S. Obama and a few of his troopers perished following an otherwise peaceful celebration of diversity by the combined communities of Sioux, Cheyenne, Blackfoot, and Arapaho people called in response to unfair housing and mortgage practices in Black Hills by private business interests."
June 27, 1876 Obama White House Rose Garden
President Ulysses S. "Sam" Obama - " It is with deep regret that a musical number adopted by renegade members of our armed forces as a provocative and racist psychological warfare tool caused the deaths of those troops. Make no mistake and let me be perfectly clear. I have made this a priority and I will focus on this matter with gas lamp clarity that no stone will go unturned or unnoticed until more is made of this matter. Thank you and God Bless America."
July 4, 1876 Obama White House Press Room
Jay Carney - " While we regret the deaths of Gen. Custer and a handful of others, let's not forget that . . ."
Jake Tapper -" Jay, the tribes were armed with repeating Henry and brand-new Winchester rifles, while defense cuts made by this Administration afforded only Spencer breech-loading . . ."
Jay Carney - "Jake, is there a question in there?"
( press pool laughter)
Jake Tapper - " Was this a planned attack by the tribes."
Jay Carney - " That is absurd, Jake. You know better than that. The President and Secretary Clinton have told the nation and the world that the repeated playing of Garryowen - an Irish tune adopted by colonialist Britain to provoke the communities of occupied Imperial India by the way - sparked spontaneous demonstrations and Ghost Dances only to be interrupted by the massive and intrusive presence of a few score members of the renegade batallion of the 7th Cavalry."
Jake Tapper -" So this was a massacre?"
Jay Carney -"Absolutely not! This was a spontaneous reaction to the repeated and offensive playing ofr Garryowen - that's all for today.
July 14, 1876 Obama White House Press Room
Jake Tapper - " Reports from Generals Crook and Terry in the Dakota Territory confirm that General Custer . . ."
Jay Carney - " Jake, he was Lt. Col. and the title General is an honorific."
Jake Tapper - " Custer was breveted . . ."
Jay Carney - " That was Lincolns Administration, Jake. President Obama gave him the rank of Lt. Col. and not General."
Jake Tapper - " I stand corrected. The reports indicate that repeating rifles used by the Native American Coalitions overwhelmed the troopers under Custer . . .because they were armed only with obsolete breech-loading Spencers resulting in their deaths. Moreso, Generals Terry and Crook report that every soldier was mutilated. Was this a massacre."
Jay Carney - " That is a gross over-statement, Jake, and I find that accusation misleading and frankly offensive. Custer was not mutilated. As to your question, brief as it was, Yes. It is self-evident that a massacre took place, as the President has said all along. No more Questions."
"Garryowen" is an old Irish quick-step that can be traced back to the early 1860's. In 1867, "Garryowen" was adopted by the 7th Cavalry Regiment as the official Air (tune) of the Regiment, and the historical nickname given to the 7th Cavalry Regiment and Troopers. It became the Official tune of the 1st Cavalry Division in 1981. "Garryowen" has become undoubtedly the most famous of all the regimental marches in the Army.
1st Cavalry Division Patch
The geographical area that provided the inspiration and the name of one of the most popular, rollicking folk songs of Ireland, is situated near the City of Limerick and located a half mile southeast of King John's Castle, on the upward slope of a hill at the end of Garryowen Road in Limerick County. Local traditions and folk lore have preserved the historical significance of the area and the origin of its name "Garryowen", a compound English word composed of two Irish words, Garrai (the Irish word for Garden) and Eoin (the Irish word for the name John, referencing King John's Castle - a local landmark at the bottom of the hill). The name Eoin, pronounced a "O-in" or "Oh-en", was later phonically transformed to "Owen" in the English language, thus allowing the two separate Irish words "Garrai" and "Eoin" to be translated into the single compound English word, written without the capital "O", as Garryowen.
The terrain features of the Garryowen provided a broad, commanding view of the richly cultivated surrounding countryside, the old town of Limerick and the valley of the Shannon River which gently washed the battered, fortified towers of King John's castle which was constructed in the late 1180's to control traffic along the river. The surrounding plot of ground soon became a favorite holiday resort with loyal patrons of citizens from near-by Limerick because the atmosphere and local accommodations were somewhat similar to those offered to the London mechanic by the Battersea tea-gardens.
A review of Irish literature reveals that Garryowen "became a general rendezvous for those who sought simple pleasure and amusement. The elderly drank together under the shade of trees and the young played ball, goal, or other athletic activities on the green; while a few lingered in the near-by hedge-rows with their fair acquaintances. Garryowen was soon to become as famous for scenes of strife as it was for mirth and humor; and broken arms, legs and heads became a staple article of manufacture in the neighborhood."
"These new diversions were encouraged by a number of young people having a greater supply of animal spirits than wisdom to control themselves. The young gentlemen being fond of wit, amused themselves by having parties at night to wring the heads off all the geese, and tearing knockers off the doors in the neighborhood. They sometimes suffered their genius to soar as high as the breaking of a street lamp, and even resorting to the physical violence of a watchman. But, this type of joking was found a little too serious to be repeated very frequently, for few achievements of so daring a violence were documented in the records. They were obliged to content themselves with less ambitious distinction of destroying door knockers and store-locks, annoying the peace of the neighborhood, with long continued assaults on the front doors, terrifying the quiet onlookers with every species of insult and provocation, and indulging their fratricidal propensities against all the geese in Garryowen."
"The fame of the 'Garryowen Boys' soon spread far and wide. Their deeds were celebrated by some inglorious minstrel of the day in that melody which has, since, resounded over the world; and even symbolically competed for national popularity with 'St. Patrick's Day'. A string of verses were appended to the tune which soon enjoyed equal notoriety. The name of Garryowen was as well known as that of the city of Limerick, itself, and Garryowen soon became almost a synonym for Ireland."

"Garryowen" is known to have been used by Irish regiments as a drinking song. As the story goes, one of the Irish "melting pot" Troopers of the 7th Cavalry, under the influence of "spirits", was singing the song. By chance Custer heard the melody, liked the cadence, and soon began to hum the tune to himself. The tune has a lively beat, that accentuates the cadence of marching horses, and for that reason was adopted as the regimental song soon after Custer arrived at Fort Riley, Kansas to take over command of the 7th Cavalry Regiment. It was the last song played for Custer's men as they left General Terry's column at the Powder River and rode into history.
During First Team ceremonies the song is not sung; however, it is customary for the song to be played at the conclusion of the activities and the guests stand and clap.
"Garryowen" was also the Regimental March of another famous fighting unit, The Royal Irish Regiment, that was organized in 1684 from the Irish Pikemen and Musketeers by the Earl of Granard to fight for Kink William. This regiment has seen service in all parts of the world. For their outstanding valor at the Battle of Namur, they received the title of "The Royal Regiment of Foot of Ireland". In addition, in recognition of its deeds on this occasion, King William conferred the right of displaying the badge of the Harp and Crown, and that of the Lion of Nassau, with the explanatory legend.
The Royal Irish showed noble courage and performed gallant service throughout the Crimean War. On their colors are inscribed "Egypt"; "China"; "Blenheim"; "Ramillies"; "Oudenarde"; "Malpaquet"; "Pegu"; "Savastopol"; "New Zealand"; "Afghanistan, 1879-80"; "Egypt, 1882"; "Tel-el-Kebir"; "Nile, 1884-85"'; "South Africa, 1900-02"; "Flanders, 1914"; and "Gallipoli, 1915." The Royal Irish Regiment was disbanded in 1922 on the formation of the Irish Free State.
One can only wonder how many of the former members of the Royal Irish Regiment emigrated to the United States and enlisted as Troopers of US Cavalry units. Could this have been how Custer heard this song?
Part of the mystery may be solved. The history of the 69th New York Infantry which reflects the history and progress of the Irish in America. From unwelcome immigrants escaping famine and persecution, they were assimilated and integrated into the society of America. Its ranks were filled with heroes, priests, poets, politicians, laborers, lawyers, in short a cross section of Ireland's greatest export - her sons.
69th Infantry Distinctive Unit Insignia
The "Fighting Sixty-ninth" had its origins in early 1851, when the Irish citizens of New York City formed a militia regiment known locally as the Second Regiment of Irish Volunteers. Unanimously, the group selected "Garryowen" as their official regimental marching song. On 12 October 1851, the Regiment was officially accepted as part of the New York Militia and designated as the Sixty-Ninth Regiment. In 1858, the Regiment would have its first call to duty. Their many subsequent calls to duty included the Civil War, Spanish American War, the Mexican War, World War I, World War II and most recently Operation Iraqi Freedom II where it was attached to the 1st Cavalry Division as part of the 39th Separate Infantry Brigade. Today it is officially known as the 1st Battalion, 69th Infantry (Mechanized) and is part of the 42nd Infantry Division.
The Lyrics of the song are as follows:
"Garryowen"
[Verse 1]
Let Bacchus's sons be not dismayed, but join with me each jovial blade, come booze and sing and lend your aid, to help me with the chorus:
"Chorus"
Instead of spa we'll drink down ale and pay the reckoning on the nail, for debt no man shall go to jail; from Garry Owen in glory
[Verse 2]
We are the boys who take delight in smashing Limerick lamps at night, and through the street like sportsters fight, tearing all before us. (Chorus)
[Verse 3]
We'll break windows, we'll break doors, the watch knock down by threes and fours, then let the doctors work their cures, and tinker up our bruises. (Chorus)
[Verse 4]
We'll beat the bailiffs out of fun, we'll make the mayor and sheriffs run, we are the boys no man dare dun, if he regards a whole skin. (Chorus)
[Verse 5]
Our hearts so stout have got us fame, for soon 'tis known from whence we came, where're we go they dread the name, of Garry Owen in glory. (Chorus)
In 1905, there was a special set of lyrics written for the Troopers of the 7th Cavalry Regiment:
[Verse 1]
We are the pride of the Army and a regiment of great renown, Our Name's on the pages of History, from sixty-six on down. If you think we stop or falter while into the fray we're going just watch the steps with our head erect, while our band plays Garryowen. (Chorus)
"Chorus"
In the Fighting Seventh's the place for me, Its the cream of the Cavalry; No other regiment ever can claim Its pride, honor, glory and undying fame.
[Verse 2]
We know fear when stern duty calls us far away from home, Our country's flag shall safely o'er us wave, No matter where we roam. "Tis the gallant 7th Cavalry it matters not where we are going" Such you'll surely say as we march away; and our band plays Garryowen. (Chorus)
[Verse 3]
The hurrah for our brave commanders! Who led us into the fight. We'll do or die in our country's cause, and battle for the right. And when the war is o'er, and to our home we're goin just watch your step, with our heads erect, when our band plays Garryowen. (Chorus)

You won' this item in any of the Chicago Newspapers - Sneedless to say.
The Men of Leo High School congratulate 'our guy' Francis Cardinal George on the anniversary of 22 years as a Roman Catholic bishop.
Yesterday, September 21, 2012 marked twenty-two years of episcopal service by Chicago's own Francis Cardinal George. Born on April 7, 1930, the future Archbishop of Chicago (May 7, 1997) and Leo Man ( May 11, 2012), is the son of Francis J. and Mary R. (nee McCarthy) George and a graduate of St. Paschal's Grammar School on Chicago's northwest side.
Cardinal George is a priest's priest - ordained in 1963. Yesterday, on the anniversary of his consecration as Bishop of Yakima, WA, the Missionary Oblate of Mary Immaculate, who never allowed disease or disappointment to hold him back from serving Christ and His Church, Cardinal George counseled a high school freshman from Leo High School who was having a bit of difficulty.
We arrived at the Archbishops Residence, built in 1885 by Archbishop Patrick Feehan, who was instrumental in the rebuilding of Chicago after the Great Fire. Sister Theodosia greeted us and quietly informed me that the day was the Cardinal's twenty second anniversary as bishop. He was seeing us. Well, not me; I 'm the driver.
Cardinal George welcomed the two of us as he emerged from a morning meeting with Jimmy Lago, Chancellor of the Archdiocese.
The young Leo Man and The Shepherd of 2.5 million Catholics in Cook and Lake Counties - roughly 1,500 square miles of Catholics went into conference.
I was not party to the conversation, but I heard gales of laughter sweep through the closed door and most it coming from the Cardinal's voice.
At one point, the phone in the hall rang. Sister Theodosia, the residency wrangler and boss of the Episcopal home, knocked on the door, opened it gently and informed the Cardinal that there was a very important phone call. I could see the two conversationalists one in a Roman collar and sweater and the other in a Leo Football jacket and heard the guy in the stiff collar say, " Thank you, Sister! I am in a very important meeting at the moment. Ask the gentleman to call back in another half hour."
It was a half hour and change.
The young man emerged from the long and uninterrupted conversation animated and assured that an understanding father has his back.
Catholics may hold the key to the 2012 Presidential and General Elections. Swing States are the focus of everyone who thinks that he, or she has a thumb on the national pulse. The choices at the Top of each ticket pits President Obama is a Christian Non-sectarian against Mitt Romney,a Mormon. Both Paul Ryan and Joe Biden are Roman Catholics vying for Vice President. Ryan and Biden reflect two distinct varieties of American Catholic - Paul Ryan is Anti-Abortion and traditional in his observation of Catholic moral teaching; Joe Biden is perfectly all right with abortion and the Planned Parenthood imprimatur on birth control.
I think that Catholics will decide this election.
Me? I was all set to vote in 2009. I can not, did not and will not vote for Barack Obama for President.
Catholics went wild for Senator Barack H. Obama in 2008 thanks to the very warm reception he received from Catholic academics and Catholic Democrats like Kathleen Sebelius, Joe Biden, Richie Daley, Dick Durbin, Pat Quinn and the rank and file in cities like Chicago, Pittsburgh, Youngstown, and Minneapolis. Democrat used to be a euphemism for urban Catholic. Catholics in the GOP were suspected of being Planned Parenthood shills. The GOP was very Progressive years before the Democratic Party and then wised up.
My lack of enthusiasm for Barack Obama stems from my belief in his total lack of experience for the job of President, his long association with some of the daffier elements of the Democratic Party Nationally and locally and my personal contact with the man.
All politics is personal. I take the weather personally.
More so, I take umbrage when someone is insulting my faith, or people I respect all the while demanding that there is something intrinsically wrong with my beliefs, historical knowledge, reading ability, racial sensitivity and fashion sensibilities.
When I am wrong, I like to have bill-boards painted attesting to my latest sins and omissions.
I think that casting a vote against Obama in 2008 was a good thing and will not consign me to eternal damnation ( I have plenty more to account for in other departments), nor do I believe that encouraging at least my coreligionists to vote vigorously against a man and a world view at odds with my Church.
President Obama and his regime do not tolerate Catholics. He is abortion's son. He is a public service labor bully and no friend of real labor - which built the American Middle Class along with American business. President Obama Part II will make even more vigorous war on Catholics if he manages to snatch the election.
Aside from that, President Obama is an affable gent more than qualified to occupy elected office somewhere in Illinois. However, if he loses this one,God willing, there is no way he will return to the land of Lincoln.

WASHINGTON — A gun-trafficking investigation on the Southwest border that went awry was a "significant danger to public safety," according to an independent government report that recommended that the Department of Justice consider disciplining 14 officials, from field agents in Arizona to top managers in Washington. Less than an hour after those findings were announced, two of the officials — Kenneth E. Melson, the former acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and Deputy Assistant Atty. Gen. Jason M. Weinstein — announced they were stepping down. Others cited included Assistant Atty. Gen. Lanny Breuer, who runs the Justice Department criminal division, and Gary Grindler, who was the No.2 Justice official during Operation Fast and Furious. . . .The 18-month investigation also concluded that Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. had no knowledge of the problems surrounding Fast and Furious before the slaying of a U.S. Border Patrol agent brought them to light.

after the ceremonial resignation former acting-head Melson avoided the questions never asked anyway by the Media - they weren't asking nothing but why take chances. Melson decided to to take it on the Arthur Duffy -fast and furious!
This Shish Ke Bob is brought to you by Eric Holder - the same guy who made sure Patrick Fitzgerald asked no more questions of Jesse Jackson, Jr,, keeps Tony Rezko locked away, brings suit against the people of Texas, Arizona, Alabama and Amish dairy farmers, raid the Gibson guitar folks, runs guns to Mexican cartels,empties Gitmo of Al Queda Freedom Fighters, as best he can, and is getting ready to spring the Old Blind Sheik. He and the Old Blind Sheik are two peas in a pod and work the same side of the street in a Progressive manner.
Man, Holder is the creepiest!
I don't care if Mitt Romney backs up my sump pump, lights a box of new born kittens on fire*, French kisses John Madden, sniffs Schwinn seats, loots a Poor Clare's Convent, or pees in my sink full of dishes. I will vote for Mitt Romeny and I am a Democrat - a Catholc Democrat.
This current crowd of creeps need to get out of government.
Karen, you know what's coming and from whom -tic-tock;tic-tock . . .
The voucher bill failed because Republican legislators — and the weak-willed GOP leadership — caved to state teachers unions that fund Republican campaigns and viewed vouchers as a threat. But charter schools are ascendant. John Kass Chicago Tribune

I was thumbing, as is my habit and pleasure, my well-worn Penguin Classic volume of Cicero's De Senctute, having devoured the requisite episodes of Rawhide, Wagon Train and Have Gun Will Travel featured on the magnificently programed Encore Western Channel, available through ATT Universe plan for that Saturday morning. I was about to jot notes on this salient passage by Tully which are touchstones of counsel for semi-retired roues and cads like myself. Age and attention to virtue are twin goads. The body's mechanical/ chemical ignition systems wane and the knowledge that eternity's candle is leading the manly will more than appeals of sirens and nymphs to that goatishness which dominated so many decades and charmed pretty eyes do make for changes. Thus,
The third charge against old age is that it LACKS SENSUAL PLEASURES. What a splendid service does old age render, if it takes from us the greatest blot of youth! Listen, my dear young friends, to a speech of Archytas of Tarentum, among the greatest and most illustrious of men, which was put into my hands when as a young man I was at Tarentum with Q. Maximus. “No more deadly curse than sensual pleasure has been inflicted on mankind by nature, to gratify which our wanton appetites are roused beyond all prudence or restraint. It is a fruitful source of treasons, revolutions, secret communications with the enemy. In fact, there is no crime, no evil deed, to which the appetite for sensual pleasures does not impel us. Fornications and adulteries, and every abomination of that kind, are brought about by the enticements of pleasure and by them alone. Intellect is the best gift of nature or God
That virtuous notion considered and the fact that television commercial marketing featuring my contemporary males riding around in vintatge pick-up trucks and pouring AquaFina into over-heated radiators, or doing hot-licks on a Fender Stratocaster with the old garage band gang, talking about Low T, or E-D or complete Johnson meltdown, do the falling leaves of autumn and memories of dalliances past spark the re-play button of loves lost and pleasures found. Having noted antique Cicero's valorization of Low T and failure to launch being occasion for reflection on higher things, my reveries were jolted akimbo by the intrusive ring of my land-line phone and it was not a Quinnipiac Poll, AmVets, or Window Replacement telemarketers. It was the purringly husky voice of a gorgeous ex-girlfriend who called 'out-of-the-blue' to see if I was still around.
We lost track of time, chatting about the wild, romantic times we used to enjoy together.
I couldn't believe it when she asked if I'd be interested in meeting up and rekindling a little of that "old magic."
"Wow!" I was flabbergasted.
"I don't know if I could keep pace with you now," I said, "I'm a bit older and a bit greyer and balder than when you last saw me. Plus I don't really have the energy I used to have."
She just giggled and said she was sure I would "rise to the challenge."
"Yeah," I said. "Just so long as you don't mind a waistline that's a few inches wider these days! The ravages of Dunlap's Disease. Not to mention my total lack of muscle tone . . . everything is sagging, my teeth are a bit yellowed and I'm developing jowls like a Great Dane!"
She laughed and told me to stop being so silly.
She teased me saying that tubby, gray haired, older men were cute, and she was sure I would still be a great lover.
Anyway, she giggled and said, "I've put on a few pounds myself!"
" Sorry, Chubs, not interested!" I hung up the phone, placed my volume of De Senctute back under the pile of books and checked the ice box for that last piece of Key Lime pie! OOOOOOooooo Lawman with John Russell as Marshall Dan Troop starts at 1 PM!
“I am tired of billionaires telling us what we need to do for our children as if they love our children more than we do,” Lewis continued, as the crowd the union estimated at 25,000 waved signs and cheered. “I want them to turn off the air conditioning at 125 S. Clark, and work like we work. I want them to turn off the air conditioning on the fifth floor of City Hall and let them work like we work.” Chicago Sun Times
Karen Lewis, Leo High School has been standing in solidarity with you on the air-conditioning issue since 1926. No air-conditioning, no way, no how! I knew that when I signed a contract with Bob Foster in 1995. He didn't have no air-conditioning himself. Our building was constructed beginning in 1921 when air-conditioning was limited to Swift and Armour meat storage houses and box-cars in Canaryville's Stockyards. Some things will just not configure, or evolve as John Dewey pretends. I wish we had a few billionaires concerned for our kids, like CPS. We have a handful of millionaires pumping in hard dollars, to be sure, but mostly old or aging white guys who managed to safe a few dollars extra, or young black guys making their way in the world thanks to their Leo High School Catholic education. Thanks be to God. Karen Lewis excoriated Bruce Rauner, a philanthropic capitalist, who wants the best education for Chicago public school children in last Friday's Pre-Wisconsin Style Occupy Union Park Rally column meant to gin-up rage against the machine.
Millionaire capitalist Bruce Rauner, ranked No. 90 on Chicago Magazine's "100 Most Powerful Chicagoans," and who donated enough money to the Noble Network of Charter Schools to get his name on one, published a scathing opinion aimed at Chicago Public Schools teachers in Wednesday's Tribune. The amount of anger and venom Rauner spits out at our hardworking CPS teachers is beyond reprehensible. Chicago Tribune op-ed Sept 14, 2012
Donated money to a school? Let's kick him in the nuts! As a Director of Development, I was appalled by a beneficiary of private largess taking a donor to the canvass at all, much less while in the process of squeezing more money from the CPS public coffers emptied with glee by Ms. Lewis et al since 2001. I could only imagine my life expectancy in the Leo Community were I to call Andy O'Spud Class of 1940 and beef that his recent contribution of $ 200,000 for financial aid assistance was shabby. My pelt would be drying on the portals of Leo, before I hung up the phone. Not Karen Lewis. She continued in this manner on Saturday with the above pasted quote from the Sun Times at the Hey,Hey, Ho, Ho-fest in Union Park on Ashland Ave. before an estimated 2,500 ( or 10% of the Chicago Membership of CTU). Karen Lewis, I believe in my craven, mean-spirited, child-hating heart of hearts, is merely the gut-wind for the ISO doctrinaire VP of CTU -Jesse Sharkey. Jesse Sharkey is the CTU leader the media has been told to lay-off. He is much like the daffy Andy Thayer, or odious Kevin Clark who merges Hamas Propaganda Boosterism with Anti-Catholic domestic terrorism in the name of Gay Rights. Jesse is leader of International Socialist Organization( ISO) and Kevin Clark is a national leader of Hamas affiliated International Solidarity Movement (ISM). The teachers strike, it seems to me, is more about creating havoc than righting work-place wrongs. The media has beating the phrase Elephant in the Room, into a pliable metal of metaphor meant to maintain this havoc. Who is the elephant? Rahm??? Penny Pritzker??? Bruce Rahm???? What is the Elephant and how much do he cost?
In an earlier news conference, a grim Lewis ticked off a long list of concerns that her members mentioned about the contract. She said "the big elephant in the room" is CPS' plans to close upwards of what she said could be 200 schools. Teachers are "extraordinarily concerned about that," she told reporters. "It undergirds everything they talked about" in the House of Delegates meeting.
Yes, CPS could be looking at closing and consolidating schools. The real elephant in the room: CPS is exhausting its reserve funds this year and faces an estimated $1 billion budget deficit next year with a massive pension payment hike.
Close schools and Karen Lewis will lose membership and numbers is what Jesse Sharkey is all about.
Numbers keep the havoc going! Numbers of dollars, schools closed, or not closed, air-conditioners, kids in a class, days off, test scores and enemies to be vilified. You gotta keep the hate going.
There is great jazz tune by Oscar Brown Junior about a child's incessant demands for something over there - in this case a stuffed elephant.
This sums up the continuing strike by Chicago Public School Teachers and no one in the media will ever point to the real Elephant in the Room - the buss-ciut Brooks Brothers Commie in the Red Duds standing behing Karen Lewis and tellling here what to say and do.
Dat Elephant over dere?
The time will march days will go And little baby's going to grow I gotta tell her what she needs to know I'll help her along and she'll be strong
And she'll know right from wrong As life's parade goes marching by She's gonna need to know some reasons why I don't have all the answers but I'll try to do what I can We'll make a plan
You give the kid your best and hope she’ll pass the test And finally send her out into the world somewhere And though she's grown up I bet I never will forget Mummy, can I have that big elephant over there?
Dad always said that I couldn't find my butt with both hands. I can. Allow me to add this imperative -“Defend the unborn against abortion even if they persecute you, calumniate you, set traps for you, take you to court or kill you." - Pope Francis to celebrate Pro-life Mass, Vatican
"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets in the way of what other people think. You are proud of yourself and your accomplishments and you enjoy letting people know that."
A peach of a guy with all the sweetness one could expect from a life well-spent and in good company: short on brains but a terrific dancer!
