Play nice!
It kind of reminds me of Charles Jonson hopping on the back of the next passing fad!
Someone here was talking about this. Was it Rodan?
It appears from my previous post I have misplaced the ‘h’ in Mr. Dingdongs last name…forgive me, for I have sinned! Actually, I find it fitting to leave out the ‘h’ and replace the first ‘n’ with a ‘L’ and seek redemption by casting Mr. Johnson in the lead role as ‘Mammy’ on his racist plantation of ‘little green subordinates’…
I was notified that something pissed off Coldwarrior last night. Hope it wasn’t serious.
@ Bunk X:
Must have been major. He doesn’t get upset easily.
@ Lost:
Sent him an email, haven’t heard back.

I had the story here.
@ Bunk X:
Went downstairs to have a look. Apparently somebody erased a post of his. He has offered up his share of the blog and one poster encouraged him. (Didn’t get good vibes off of that one)
CW, don’t go. If you leave, others will leave as well.
Something get into the water supply again?
@ Lost:
That was me. I’m mad at him for censoring me for merely saying I agreed with Christopher Hitchens’ take on the Serbs in 1999. Well, he mentioned it first and I agreed. If he didn’t want it discussed then he shouldn’t have linked to his stories about the Serbs that he wrote for Vanity Fair.
@ mtc:
He’s mad that his comment got deleted, not over any argument.
Good Morning All!
I am somewhat confused here? Who would have the authority to delete one of CW’s posts?
I run a blog or two on the WordPress platform and have had a comment go away. I did some serious digging into the database and found that guess what, sometimes WordPress just Shits The Bed!
Damn Database claimed that the comment never existed!
I do believe that this happenstance falls under the “Shit Happens” category!
I would like to believe that CW stumbled into the same thing!
BTW, my blogs are Self Hosted so not even the Hosting Service could get involved. Sometimes, Shit Just Happens!

@ Bumr50:
At mass yesterday , a priest who is a parctical man
(used to be a commoodities broker) & I guy that I
respect made some interesting comments from the
pulpiy.
He said ‘The government is coming after our tax
exemption” He also said, “we will not comply
with the new contraceptives mandate.”
@ RIX:
That’s encouraging.
It’s good to hear that on the parish level.
Now if only we could get them to speak out against “Catholics United”…
RIX wrote:
They will come after their tax exempt status when they are not down with the party line, not helping Democrats get elected or not allowing Democrats to campaign from the pulpit.
We have seen all three take place many times since 2008 without a peep from the LSM.
Obama shit the bed on this one and pissed off a great deal of upper-mid-west and Northeast blue state Catholics who for the most part vote reliably Democrat, mostly due toi the fact they are strong union supporters. I’m sure father Phleger is just fine with it though.
@ Bumr50:
It is, at the end of the day, an attempt to force the Catholics from the public square as providers of health care services, education, and services to the needy. It is about creating and protecting the Government Monopoly in those areas. If they are permitted to succeed here, they will come after other Christian organization in a similar manner, with the goal of driving them out of the public square. This is, indeed, a war on the Christian Religion, dressed up as a mere health care dispute. This ruling must not be permitted to stand. I suspect, with a majority of the Supreme Court being Catholic, that it will not stand for very long.
@ Bumr50:
What a bunch of liberal flaks & Notre Dame needs
a shake up. The alums are conservative & not happy.
@ Iron Fist:
In order to establish the “Utopian” totalitraian model
of government, religion needs to be destroyed or at
least placed under the thumb of the governmant
@ RIX:
That’s good to hear.
Notre Dame is a very public face of the church, and if they were to publicly denounce the Obama administration it would be a potent PR blow for Team Obama.
RIX wrote:
In a nutshell, liberals are insanely jealous of any power structure that provides the wants and needs to the proletariat. They despise religion and it’s charities, they would rather the proles worship at their feet and sign up for the dole. They despise Walmart because it provides goods at a very affordable price and they would rather have you buying overpriced crap made by some union that pays them off.
The list goes on and on, Rush has addressed this many times, but the bottom line is liberals want to be the end all be all and if you need anything no matter what it is, they want you to have to go through them first.
@ Iron Fist:
I’m a Catholic, but my wife’s parents are Salvation Army officers and my wife works for them as a bookkeeper.
I’ve been telling them since Obama got elected that they are going to have to either capitulate to every whim or be in a fight for survival.
This administration and the Left in general absolutely loathes charitable organizations that help people without enrolling them in the welfare system.
They literally see it as competition.
Charitable non-profits are all on the list, Catholics just happened the first and most public. By using contraception as a wedge issue the administration thinks that they can keep public sentiment on their side.
Last night Madame Moe and I went to see Hitchcock’s “I Confess” last night in the Quebec City movie theater in which it premiered in 1953 – it was mainly shot here also. The plot revolves around a priest who is accused of a murder and who cannot exculpate himself because the real murderer confessed his guilt to him, priests being unable to divulge the content of a confession. Speaking of Catholicism … anyway, Montgomery Clift was great as the priest and Anne Baxter was … hot.

Excellent comparison.

@ AZOlddog:
Any other admin, I would guess. But the “shit happens” surmise is not unlikely, because it most certainly does, regardless of platform.
@ Bumr50:
Notre Dame has a President that honored Obama
with an honorary doctrate shortly after his election.
Due to Obamas stance on abortion & his vote against
the Born Aive Infants Prtection Act.
The Domers that I know are very unhappy with Father
Jenks and are not donating.
I really likle Notre Dame, but they need a shake up.
Bumr50 wrote:
They want Walmart unionized It’s like the holy grail of labor to them. Nevermind the fact that the prices would go up if that happens and consumers will just go someplace else and it would severely damage the company, that matters not one bit.
Back in ’06 when the Dems took the House and Senate this was mission #1. Walmart was forced to shell out millions in payoff money to unions and lawyers to fight off the onslaught of frivolous lawsuits. It was basically a shakedown. Once the Dems and their union handlers got their cash, they backed off but it probably won’t be long before they want to hit that cash-cow up again.
@ RIX:
Locally, Duquesne University is a trainwreck.
I went to their “Recent News” section of website, and much to my chagrin these were among the latest entries:
Those are just news items for the past two weeks.
Not one mention in the student newspaper on anything even related to the mandate, or even Obamacare in general.
@ Bumr50:
It looks like a student could get in a groove and
major in Transgender Studies with a minor in Drowning
Polar Bears.
@ RIX:
Yep, and these Occupy folks wonder why their unemployable.
Breitbart loses his shit @ Occupiers.

Go figure.
@ RIX:
Corner office and stock options?
Hell, most of them aren’t qualified to be WalMart cashiers, degree or not.
They’ve never worked a day in their lives, and have no idea what it means to actually have to show up for work day in and day out.
And they’d never take a job that wouldn’t allow them to spend all day on Facebook.
@ lobo91:
Just wait until the Republican National Convention. This is where we’re gonna see real violence and bloodshed with these pukes. I hope they turn the Dem’s convention into something that would make the ’68 convention look like a church picnic.
I think my adventure today with the Kuwaiti bureaucracy is going to be hard even for them to top for sheer waste of time.
They recently reversed their policy on giving drivers licenses to foreigners, so my company submitted about 100 applications en masse. We’ve been going to various places to jump through their hoops ever since.
Today, I had to report for blood type determination. I was a bit confused, since I’ve neve seen a drivers license anywhere that contained blood type, but I guess they can put whatever they want on it. I had to be at one of our off-post offices at 9:30, so I didn’t bother going to my office this morning. I would have had to leave about an hour after getting there.
So, 9:30 rolls around, and the company rep starts filling out these forms for us. They needed our passport number, civil ID number (a Kuwaiti green card, basically), name, sex, and there was a row of boxes for blood type, which I gave them.
Out of the 20 or so of us in the group, 3 didn’t know their blood type. They loaded us all up onto a bus and drove us to a decrepit-looking Kuwaiti clinic, where we all sat down to wait in the hallway, assuming that they’d call us in one at a time.
The only people they caled in were the 3 who didn’t know their blood type. Those 3 were poked in the finger. The rest of us just had our forms stamped.
Then we got back on the bus and went back to the office, where they told us we were done.
By the time I got to my office, it was lunch time. I wasted 4 hours with this nonsense that could have been completed with an email.

That reminds me, The Walking Dead returns to AMC tonight.

But bthey feel entitled. Their Profs told them
that they are the hpoe of the future.
For no logical reason , they actully beleive it.
Obama is the perfect leader for other lazy, lay abouts.
@ RIX:
Of course they believe it.
They paid $150,000 to hear it.

In loans & now they’re pissed.

And guess who sits on the boards of these loan companies and have stock in them?
@ RIX:
I don’t blame them for being pissed.
But they’re pissed at the wrong people.
Jack Lew, Asst Sec of State is on Fox News Sunday.
He is saying that actuarial studies show that it is
cheaper for insurance companies to provide free
contraceptives, rather than cover maternity.
To the Catholic Bishops that is not the point.
But, I spend some time around actuaries & I never heard of such a study. If that is the case, why didn’t the Insurance
companies make free contraceptives available on their own?
lobo91 wrote:
Yeah, a college education is way to expensive.
Year to year increases always run ahead of the national
rate of inflation.
They shoud be protesting the Dean & tenured profs.
@ RIX:
They are desperately trying to make the issue about end-user cost.
Santorum rightfully pointed out the absurdity of that argument in his CPAC speech.
It’s an already inexpensive category, especially in terms of medicine, but they want to get the “free” meme out there as much as they can to negate the argument over principle.
I guess the theory is to get a populist outcry.
@ RIX:
They should be protesting the Dems in Congress who keep raising the amount students can borrow.
That’s why tuition is so high. If they didn’t enable every 18 year old in America to borrow tens of thousands of dollars based solely on the fact that they got some college to accept them, tuition wouldn’t be that high.
lobo91 wrote:
All true.
@ John Difool:
“Culture of Corruption” Chicago Democrats don’t
know any other way.
@ lobo91:
They are trying to do away with “for-profit” schools as well, so that every student who wishes to attend college will HAVE TO apply for Federal loans.
@ Bumr50:
What they overlook is that these Catholic organizations
are either fully experience rated if they are insured,
or they are self insured.
Either way, they wind up paying for the meds.
It’s an NY sidewalk shell game.

And the joke is on us.

If the Occupy folks were truly legit and knew who the true perps responsible for their misery and malaise were (other than themselves) there wouldn’t be a Dem politician who would be safe out in the streets right now.
Of course Van Jones, Bill Ayres, Anita Dunn, Cass Sunstein, Samantha Power, Soros and others are behind these folks and funding them and I suspect most of them are very aware the true nature of these protests which is a dry run on Billy Boy’s American Bolshevik revolution
@ John Difool:
The OWS, like Acorn, Move On & some of the more
radical unions are the Obama shock troops.
If the OWS yoots were legitimate they would not
be wallowing in filth ,associating with those that
abuse children, assault women and get violent just
because they feel like it.
