Pete is an angry Catholic currently…

Our Third-world, Affirmative action president, a Somali pirate in a suit, that I have prayed for many times, thinks he knows better than the 2000 year old Church founded by Jesus Christ. If it mattered, calling these jerks in Congress would probably be illegal, but please flood the phones with calls and emails and paper letters. I have never been more outraged at the govt in my life (peacefully outraged- righteously indignant-don’t worry-all legal and lawful and with smile). Please pick up the phone and call- the # toward the bottom. I leave you with two quick quotes by Statesmen. STATESMEN – NOT these fricking politicians!

“Only one reform is worth attempting, reform of conscience” - Russell Kirk 1952

“Whenever man tries to ignore sin, some avenging angel intervenes, progress material and spiritual collapses and the reality of evil is reimpressed…” – Nathaniel Hawthorne

NOTE: And as you read through this column and its respective links – don’t whine to me that you are not Catholic, or I’ll cram the words of Pastor Niemöller down your throat. (Ed.)

First they came for the communists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak out because I was Protestant.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me. – Pastor Martin Niemöller

On January 20, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reaffirmed a rule that virtually all private health care plans must cover sterilization, abortifacients, and contraception. The rule is set to take effect August 1, 2012. Non-profit religious employers that do not now provide such coverage, and are not exempt under the rule’s extremely narrow definition of religious employer, will be given one year—until August 1, 2013 to comply.

The powers in Washington and their progressive cohorts won’t leave us taxpayers alone until they have complete control of our lives and our wallets. They continually propose new taxes, including newfangled taxes on the wealthy, tanning salon taxes (already imposed on us), VAT Taxes, “Cadillac” health plan taxes, medical device taxes, carbon taxes, and on and on. Now they want to branch out yet again into the vast world beyond with United Nations taxes, something they’ve wanted for years.

The inside story of how U.S. agents paid firearm dealer Mike Detty to send weapons into Mexico ­and why it all went wrong.

One weekend in February 2006, a young man approached Mike Detty and asked about buying some AR-15s. Detty, the proprietor of Mad Dawg Global Marketing in Tucson, Ariz., is a federally licensed firearm dealer who sells the high-capacity, military-style rifles at gun shows or from the living room of his Spanish colonial-style home on the outskirts of town. AR-15s are semiautomatic, meaning that they fire one bullet for each pull of the trigger; they typically accommodate 30 rounds of .223 ammunition. This buyer said he’d pay cash for six of the rifles. Then he asked Detty when he could buy more. Detty said he’d have 20 new ones in stock the following week. The customer said he’d take them all.

“Something wasn’t right,” Detty says. “This kid is like 20 years old. Where’s the money coming from? Where are the guns going?”

Jimmy Carter was not just defeated by Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election. Carter, the president who could easily be confused with his own floppy sweater, was first knocked down by Smilin’ Ted Kennedy, who was entitled to be president because he was a Kennedy. (Don’t ask, this is how Democrats think.) Kennedy ran against Carter because the other Democrats were less prone to suicide than they are today. They still lost big.

Obama started the fight three years ago, in the minds of feminists, by tarring Hillary and Bill as “racists.”

As Liaison Officer for the Southern Oregon Militia, I thought I’d seen everything a corrupt police department could dish out, but this one really takes the cake and illustrates just how bad it is to live here in, “paradise”.

This 18 year-old young man named Michael Filippi Jr. was driving his motorcycle down the street when he passed a Medford motorcycle cop going the other direction. In Oregon there is a requirement for motorcycles to be driven with headlights on, and the motorcycle had a broken headlight, so young Filippi looked in his rear view mirror and saw the cop activate his lights — still going the other direction. Michael didn’t want to get a fix-it ticket, plus he was driving without a motorcycle endorsement on his license and he had no insurance, so he made a right turn at the next intersection, then turned left into a parking lot that backed up to his father’s back yard. Michael got off the bike, parked it and hopped over the fence, where he left his helmet and backpack on the backyard trampoline. That was NOT eluding a police officer, either on the vehicle or on foot. There was no pursuit, and Michael Filippi Jr. was around the corner before the motorcycle cop even turned around to look for him. For all Michael Jr. knew, the cop put on his lights going the other way to stop someone else or answer an emergency call.

The American Left has been railing about Justice Clarence Thomas. His wife, Ginni Thomas, is a Tea Party supporter, and the CEO of LibertyCentral.org – a 501(c)(4) that focuses on the value of liberty with “insistence on limited government.”

The Left believes that Justice Thomas would be unable to render an impartial decision on Obamacare, the Constitutionality of which will be determined by the Supreme Court when they hear oral arguments in March of 2012. The Left argues that because of Ginni Thomas’s work that Justice Thomas will be skewed in his decision making, and are demanding that he recuse himself.

Jeremiah Wright’s longtime congregant Barack Obama wants to tell you what God desires for America. At a recent speech in Washington, the president proclaimed that “God wants to see us help ourselves by putting people back to work.” Obama’s rather tired revelation however is worth considering for several reasons.

First, Obama’s White House spokesman Jay Carney seems to have squirmed a bit when trying to unpack the president’s somewhat confusing proclamation. When challenged by reporters about the propriety of bringing God into the current political fray Carney responded by saying:

I believe that the phrase from the Bible is ‘the Lord helps those who help themselves.

The trouble with Carney’s response is that it is simply wrong. The phrase is not biblical in origin, and more importantly, the president said nothing about people who “help themselves.” The president in other words wants the federal government to expand in size, scope, and power in order to put certain constituencies back to work.

Everyone should be protesting against this pipeline – Let them build refineries close to the source and truck the oil to the places that need it. We do NOT need an oil pipeline running from Canada right thru the heartland of America to the Texas Gulf Coast. A leak or terrorist attack would ruin land for a long time – not to mention the water which is growing more scare daily. The refineries in Texas are all OLD and need a great deal of repair so WHY send more product to these old monsters???? Build new refineries in Canada – close to the source of the crude. Since it is China who really wants this and is the mover behind the wells and the pipeline – let them build a pipeline across Canada to the Canadian West Coast and ship it to China from there. No need to ruin America in their games.

This is all part of the infamous Prick Perry Trans Texas Corridor plans that have been beaten back but aren’t buried… they are simply changing costumes. – Granny
