Why the U.N. sucks, example #188
Teaching five-year-olds about “self-pleasure”? Really? You sick F*&^%ers!
You might find the following story shocking. But considering that the UN has been caught raping children they’re recommending teaching kindergarteners about masturbation and sex.
And considering who we have in the Oval Office and in Congress, I wouldn’t be too surprised to see them give the proposal a shot.
The United Nations is recommending that children as young as five receive mandatory sexual education that would teach even pre-kindergarteners about masturbation and topics like gender violence.
The U.N.’s Economic, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) released a 98-page report in June offering a universal lesson plan for kids ranging in age from 5-18, an”informed approach to effective sex, relationships” and HIV education that they say is essential for “all young people.”
The U.N. insists the program is “age appropriate,” but critics say it’s exposing kids to sex far too early, and offers up abstract ideas — like “transphobia” — they might not even understand.
“At that age they should be learning about … the proper name of certain parts of their bodies,” said Michelle Turner, president of Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum, “certainly not about masturbation.”
I would add more comments, but sometimes there ae no words!
Those Damned White People!
How’s this for race pimping? A memo arguing that Atlanta Blacks should unite to assure the next mayor is not White is making news!
A memo arguing that African-Americans should unite behind a single black candidate in the race for mayor of Atlanta is about to become a prime topic of debate.
The material, which we include below, is said to be distributed by Aaron Turpeau, a long-time City Hall figure, on behalf of something called the Black Leadership Forum.
Turpeau argues that Council President Lisa Borders is the only candidate who can prevent the election of Councilwoman Mary Norwood as the first white mayor since Atlanta Mayor Sam Massell.
I wonder if the MSM will jump all over this as proof that racism is still alive in America? Naw, it does not fit their agenda. I also wonder how soon the NAACP will announce a boycott of Atlanta? HMMMM, I also pose the question of when Janeane Garofalo will weigh in on the mental illnesses of those involved, who are “hatin on theWhite man”!
Kidnapped California Girl Who Surfaced 18 Years Later Kept As Sex Slave – Fox News
A convicted sex offender and his wife have been arrested in the 1991 kidnapping of an 11-year-old girl – who, authorities tell FOX 40 News, had been kept as a sex slave.
The unnamed authorities also told the TV station that the victim, Jaycee Lee Dugard, bore several children for the sex offender, Phillip Garrido, 58, and they said Garrido and his wife, Nancy, 54, held Dugard in a shed or other structure in the backyard.
Police in Concord, Calif., say they’re “very confident” that a woman who recently came into the police station there identifying herself as Dugard is the girl, who was abducted 18 years ago from a school bus stop.
“We’re 99 percent sure it’s her,” said Lt. Les Lovell of the El Dorado Sheriff’s Department. He said DNA tests were being conducted. The woman is in good health, but it was not immediately clear when she came in to the station.
The Garridos were arrested Wednesday based on a kidnapping and conspiracy investigation, police said. Phillip Garrido also is being held on possible charges of rape by force, lewd and lascivious acts with a minor and sexual penetration, said Jimmie Lee, a spokesman for the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Department.
Phillip Garrido has a past conviction for rape by force or fear, according to the Megan’s Law database.
Dugard, a blond, bony-tailed 11-year-old, was taken from the school bus stop minutes after she left her South Lake Tahoe home in 1991.
Lovell said Concord police did an investigation after the woman surfaced, and he received a call Wednesday from investigators who tentatively identified her as Dugard.
“Her family has been contacted and they are in the process of arranging” a meeting, said Lovell, who was a detective assigned to help investigate the kidnapping in 1991. “We are very confident at this point in time that it is her.”
‘Cruel And Neglectful’ Care Of One Million National Health Service Patients Exposed – Telegraph UK
In the last six years, the Patients Association claims hundreds of thousands have suffered from poor standards of nursing, often with ‘neglectful, demeaning, painful and sometimes downright cruel’ treatment.
The charity has disclosed a horrifying catalogue of elderly people left in pain, in soiled bed clothes, denied adequate food and drink, and suffering from repeatedly cancelled operations, missed diagnoses and dismissive staff.
The Patients Association said the dossier proves that while the scale of the scandal at Mid-Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust – where up to 1,200 people died through failings in urgent care – was a one off, there are repeated examples they have uncovered of the same appalling standards throughout the NHS.
While the criticisms cover all aspects of hospital care, the treatment and attitude of nurses stands out as a repeated theme across almost all of the cases.
They have called on Government and the Care Quality Commission to conduct an urgent review of standards of basic hospital care and to enforce stricter supervision and regulation.
Claire Rayner, President of the Patients Association and a former nurse, said:“For far too long now, the Patients Association has been receiving calls on our helpline from people wanting to talk about the dreadful, neglectful, demeaning, painful and sometimes downright cruel treatment their elderly relatives had experienced at the hands of NHS nurses.
“I am sickened by what has happened to some part of my profession of which I was so proud.”
Ted Kennedy’s Legacy Not As Heroic As Some Might Think – Howie Carr
I never voted for Ted Kennedy, not once, and neither did maybe a quarter to one-third of the Massachusetts electorate, although you’d never know that from the echo chamber of the mainstream media since his death in Hyannisport late Tuesday night.
While offering condolences to the Kennedy family at this sad moment, it is important to note that his life was not as simple, nor heroic, as is now being portrayed. On the cable channels yesterday, his fellow Senate graybeards, of both parties, were lamenting the passing of what was invariably described as Ted Kennedy’s “collegial” Senate – where voices were seldom raised, and partisan bickering ended when the gavel came down to end the session.
All of which would have come as a surprise to Robert Bork, the Supreme Court nominee of whom the collegial Ted said in 1986:
“Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters …”
So much for collegiality. Of course, Kennedy is now endlessly lauded for his support of “women’s rights,” i.e. abortion. But into the 1970s, before the Roman Catholic Church’s influence began to wane, Kennedy was a traditional pro-life New England Democrat.
Here was his take on abortion in 1971: “Wanted or unwanted, I believe that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized – the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grow old.”
There’s a story, perhaps apocryphal, that in his first Senate campaign in 1962, Kennedy was shaking hands at a factory-gate during a shift change. A haggard worker began berating him about how he’d never worked a day in his life. According to the legend, at that point another salt-of-the-earth blue-collar type leaned in and told Kennedy, “Never worked a day in your life, kid? You ain’t missed a thing.”
But in fact he had. Yesterday the tributes kept mentioning his commitment to the “working class.” He fought for, as President Obama said on Martha’s Vineyard of all places, “an America that is more equal and more just.”
But more equal and more just for some people than for others. When it came to the white ethnic working class from which his father came, Kennedy just plain didn’t get it. Whether it was court-ordered busing in Boston in the 1970s, or the affirmative action policies that stymied the careers of so many of his family’s traditional voters, Kennedy never grasped the depth of the blue-collar frustration as he veered left. And what infuriated them even more was that so many of them had grown up in homes where on one side of the mantel was a faded photo of the martyred JFK, and on the other the pope, with a dried-up palm frond given out at Mass on Palm Sunday between them.
Chappaquiddick, of course, never went away. But sometimes Kennedy could seem oblivious even to that ultimate blemish on his career. In 1974, when President Ford pardoned Richard Nixon for his Watergate crimes, Kennedy issued this thundering statement:
“Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law? Or is there one system for the average citizen and another for the high and mighty?”
On issue after issue he was wrong – the nuclear freeze, the Reagan tax cuts, the Immigration Reform Act of 1965, which he assured his Senate colleagues would not lead to a “flood” of immigrants into America’s cities. With a Tele-Promp-Ter, he could be articulate, but when he wasn’t using his glasses to read a prepared statement, he was often an oratorical mess. In 2005, at the National Press Club, he referred to the current president as “Osama bin La-uh, Osama Obama, uh Obama.”
And yet he was always protected by most of the media, who shared his views on just about everything. In 1962, at the behest of President Kennedy, the Boston Globe played the story of his expulsion from Harvard below the fold on the front page. To the very end the Globe did its best to shield him – last week the struggling Times-owned broadsheet broke the story of his deathbed attempt to change the Massachusetts law on Senate succession, without mentioning that he himself had lobbied in 2004 to enact the law he was now denouncing as undemocratic. Only then, he was for stripping the governor of his right to fill a Senate vacancy, because, you see, that governor was a Republican.
The Globe reported that Kennedy was extremely concerned that the people of Massachusetts would have no representation in the Senate for five months until the special election. The fact that he had already missed 97 percent of the Senate roll-call votes in 2009 was not noted until the next day – in a different newspaper.
The hagiography will continue throughout the weekend. We all agree that Ted Kennedy should rest in peace. But let’s not forget that there was more, much more, to his “legacy” than is being reported on MSNBC.
UH OH! Manufactured Outrage!
The Left is REALLY STRETCHING IT! They do not do sarcasm I guess! They DO love lying to make the ideological opponents look like nuts! Of course, they generally fail miserably, thus making asses out of themselves!
Thus they, led by this douche bag are today’s Daley Douchebags!
Beer blogging!
Not here, I rarely drink anymore, although I do enjoy a good beer or two once a week or so. Pat though, is beer blogging!
Differing takes on Kennedy’s passing
Michelle Malkin and Stacy McCain are the two bloggers I admire the most. Not surprisngly, their takes on how the right should react to the death of Ted Kennedy represent most of my feelings about blogging about the senator’s passing.
Yes, I agree with Michelle that now is not the time to share our disdain for Teddy. Even though, as Michelle notes, the Dems are pimping his death already I see her reasoning, and understand it. However, I also see McCain’s view too.
I especially like McCain’s tribute to a certain drowning victim and his disagreement with Michelle.
Drunken Commie-loving traitor, R.I.P. And I hereby declare this Mary Jo Kopechne Memorial Day.
OUCH!
Jimmie at Sundries Shack, has a very good post on this day. Like Jimmie I do truly feel sympathy for Kennedy’s family
I do wish his family the best. I know there are people who genuinely love him and will miss him sorely and they have my most sincere condolences. It hurts badly losing someone you love and I pray their pain eases soon.
So, I suppose for me, it boils down to this. I do not believe in gloating over a death of an ideological opponent, no matter how much you disagreed with them. As is often said good people CAN disagree. But what if the recently deceased is not a person to be admired? What if they were a despicable human being, and in your view a traitor, and a person who worked to destroy the Constitution?
Certainly, showing sensitivity to their family is the right thing to do. To the person though? I guess that is where I am stuck at.
Democrats already pimping Kennedy’s death?
Well, that is what they are doing isnt it? Attaching Kennedy’s name to ObamaCare. Lance sure thinks so, and I have to agree with him, even though it will surely swell his already large head. But, I must risk that because Lance’s observation, is funny, insightful, hard-hitting, and oh yeah, classy!! You know, this guy really ought to be on TV!
Wow, Democrats must really have hated Sen. Kennedy, wanting to chain his name to a bill that’s going to fail so spectacularly.
Bet you thought I was going to say “a bill that’s going to sink like an Oldsmobile in a river,” didn’t you? I’ll bet you did. But I didn’t. That’s because I have too much class.
Amen!
More Truth Deficit Disorder from the Left!
So, let us follow along here. In Denver, a Democratic Party HQ is trashed, and a DEMOCRATIC activist is arrested and charged.-
One of two people suspected of shattering 11 windows Tuesday morning at the state Democratic Party headquarters has an arrest record and a history of helping a Democratic political candidate, public records show.
The perpetrator apparently sought to make it look like the “other side” did it.
The young vandal who smashed windows at the DNC headquarters in Denver on Tuesday worked for a democratic politician, was paid by a SEIU-related front group, and was arrested at the RNC convention last year in St. Paul. $11,000 in damage at the DNC headquarters.
A poster protesting health care reform was plastered on the window during the attack!Maurice Schwenkler and his accomplice caused
The Democrats out there certainly jumped at the chance to blame Conservatives didn’t they? Lance Burri has the goods
Nevertheless, if all you were reading was Think Progress, you’d never know the perp was a liberal. They’re still blaming “the other side” for the damage, quoting the state chair:
Party Chairwoman Pat Waak attributed the violence to the intensity surrounding the health care debate, saying, “Clearly there’s been an effort on the other side to stir up hate. I think this is the consequence of it.”
Be sure to read the comments at the Think Progress link. Unbelievable! They are STILL blaming the evil Republicans, even though the evidence disproves that! Again, please observe how the facts do not dent the skulls of Leftists!
Obama Administration Gives “Stimulus” Checks To 1,700 Prisoners
These are the same idiots who want to run our health care system.
Lies, Damned Lies, And Howard Dean
Rep. Jim Moran and Howard Dean held a town hall meeting Tuesday night in Reston, Virginia, and lied through their teeth about Obamacare.
Leftist Trashes Democrat Headquarters To Make Republicans Look Bad
A suspect in a vandalism at the Colorado Democratic headquarters was once a paid campaign worker for a Democratic candidate for the Legislature, according to public records.
Maurice Schwenkler, 24, was arrested in Denver Tuesday on a charge of criminal mischief after windows were smashed at Democratic offices. Many of the windows displayed posters supporting health care reform, and party officials had called it political vandalism.
But the Denver Post reported Wednesday that Schwenkler was paid $500 in November 2008 to walk door to door in support of Democrat Mollie Cullom, a candidate for the state House from Centennial.
Republican David Balmer, who beat Cullom, said he suspects the vandalism might have been intended to make the Republican Party look bad.
“This sounds like the type of Democratic tactic from the left fringe trying to make Republicans look mean-spirited,” Balmer said. “In this case, it blew up in their face.”
Campaign records show Schwenkler was among dozens of canvassers paid by a political committee called the Colorado Citizens’ Coalition.
The Democratic Party estimates the damage at $10,000. A second suspect was still at large.
Coming Soon To A Pregnant Woman Near You
Bed shortage forces 4,000 mothers to give birth in lifts, offices and hospital toilets – Daily Mail
Thousands of women are having to give birth outside maternity wards because of a lack of midwives and hospital beds.
The lives of mothers and babies are being put at risk as births in locations ranging from lifts to toilets – even a caravan – went up 15 per cent last year to almost 4,000.
Health chiefs admit a lack of maternity beds is partly to blame for the crisis, with hundreds of women in labour being turned away from hospitals because they are full.
Latest figures show that over the past two years there were at least:
* 63 births in ambulances and 608 in transit to hospitals;
* 117 births in A&E departments, four in minor injury units and two in medical assessment areas;
* 115 births on other hospital wards and 36 in other unspecified areas including corridors;
* 399 in parts of maternity units other than labour beds, including postnatal and antenatal wards and reception areas.
Additionally, overstretched maternity units shut their doors to any more women in labour on 553 occasions last year.
Babies were born in offices, lifts, toilets and a caravan, according to the Freedom of Information data for 2007 and 2008 from 117 out of 147 trusts which provide maternity services.
One woman gave birth in a lift while being transferred to a labour ward from A&E while another gave birth in a corridor, said East Cheshire NHS Trust.
Sen. Edward Kennedy dies
Michelle has some good thoughts. I agree with her.
The U.S. Senator from Massachusetts succumbed to brain cancer at the age of 77 tonight. Put aside your ideological differences for an appropriate moment and mark this passing with solemnity.
There is a time and place for political analysis and criticism. Not now.
Yes, there will be a nauseating excess of MSM hagiographies and lionizations — and crass calls to pass the health care takeover to memorialize his death.
That’s no excuse to demonstrate the same lack of restraint in the other direction. Not now.
Amen. Condolences to his family.
ObamaCare is unconstitutional
Video via Gateway Pundit
The Left pushing so very hard for something that goes completely agaist the vision of the founders of America is, sadly par for the course, as the Beck video at the link attests!
Neanderthals!
Did Maxine Waters just call us Neanderthals?
Hey, we just keep regressing! First it was mobsters, then “un-American,” then Astroturfers, then fascists, then terrorists, then brownshirts, then racists, then assassins, and now Neanderthals.
Two years ago the type of dissent being displayed right now by opponents of ObamaCare would be viewed as “patriotic” had it been directed at George W. Bush over any number of issues. My, how times change.
Just for the record, I am NO caveman! This guy, who is bogging about my girlfriend might be though!
One sick SOB!
Teh Resistance Blog has the story
Warren Hern loves performing abortions and gets a thrill when “sensations of dismemberment flow through the forceps like an electric current.” He thinks human beings are cancer on the planet. He thinks pro-lifers are terrorists. And he was Keith Olbermann’s Best Person in the World.
Hern described an abortion he performed on a woman in her 17th week:
I inserted my forceps into the uterus and applied them to the head of the fetus, which was still alive, since fetal injection is not done at that stage of pregnancy. I closed the forceps, crushing the skull of the fetus, and withdrew the forceps. The fetus, now dead, slid out more or less intact.
This same guy talks about human beings being “a malignant lesion,” in one breath, and claiming he wants to provide abortion “in a humane and dignified way.” How can one treat a “malignant lesion” humanely and with dignity?
Like I said SICK! And, sadly, there are a significant number of pro-choicers that AGREE with him! More and more of them freely admit what abortion does. Instead of rejecting abortion for killing a child, they REVEL in it! Again, SICK!
