Many people associate Fascism with the Right. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Although in some countries Fascists have been on the political Right, that is exception and not the rule. Historically fascists tend be Centrists/Moderates. Mussolini’s Fascist movement in Italy called itself the 3rd Way. They were neither Capitalists, like on the Right, or Marxists, like on the left. NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg is the ideological successor of Il Duce. He claims to be a Centrist and believes government can force people to do how he pleases.
Bloomberg’s latest Fascist crusade is breast feedings. He wants to do away with baby formula and force babies to breast feed.
The nanny state is going after moms.
Mayor Bloomberg is pushing hospitals to hide their baby formula behind locked doors so more new mothers will breast-feed.
Starting Sept. 3, the city will keep tabs on the number of bottles that participating hospitals stock and use — the most restrictive pro-breast-milk program in the nation.
Under the city Health Department’s voluntary Latch On NYC initiative, 27 of the city’s 40 hospitals have also agreed to give up swag bags sporting formula-company logos, toss out formula-branded tchotchkes like lanyards and mugs, and document a medical reason for every bottle that a newborn receives.

Bloomberg officially creeps me out. There is something of the deviant/pervert about this guy. He’s an ailimentary voyeur.
In other news Peter Jackson officially announces that he will shoot The Hobbit as a trilogy.
It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made. Recently Fran, Phil and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie — and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the story was coming together, in particular, the strength of the characters and the cast who have brought them to life. All of which gave rise to a simple question: do we take this chance to tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as the filmmakers, and as fans, was an unreserved ‘yes.’
We know how much of the story of Bilbo Baggins, the Wizard Gandalf, the Dwarves of Erebor, the rise of the Necromancer, and the Battle of Dol Guldur will remain untold if we do not take this chance. The richness of the story of The Hobbit, as well as some of the related material in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, allows us to tell the full story of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the part he played in the sometimes dangerous, but at all times exciting, history of Middle-earth.
So, without further ado and on behalf of New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Wingnut Films, and the entire cast and crew of “The Hobbit” films, I’d like to announce that two films will become three.
It has been an unexpected journey indeed, and in the words of Professor Tolkien himself, “a tale that grew in the telling.”

repost:
The Marxist/Communist connection to the homosexual movement goes back to its roots in 19th-century pseudoscience. It was back in the 19th century, during the era of Fabian socialism—back when “gay” was the catchall term for the entire demimonde of homosexuals, prostitutes, theater people, and “bohemian” artists—that the idea of homosexuals as a “third sex” was first posited. There were a number of terms floated back then: homosexuals referred to themselves as “Uranians” or “urnings” (yes, that referred to “Uranus” as a Greek mythological reference); there were suggestions that homosexuals were “undersexed” (i.e., did not achieve “escape velocity” to be attracted to the opposite sex) or “oversexed” (i.e., were so sexually overpowered that they were attracted to both men and women). All of this non-scientific mishmash just got folded into the idea that because homosexuals were “different” science had to find a “cause”—and, therefore, a “cure.” There is absolutely no genuine science at the bottom of “gay identity”—it is bullshit all the way down.
By the end of WWI, there was a strong homosexual-rights movement in Germany, associated with the Communist Party. Magnus Hirschfeld, who ran a sex clinic in Berlin, was a Communist. The first homosexual-rights groups in the US, following WWII, were also Communist-founded—and, of course, the gay-liberation movement which sprang up after Stonewall, for which the older groups were too staid, was founded by Maoists and members of the New Left. The post-Stonewall groups were quite open about their desire to destroy marriage, family, and religion—and, just as many of the gay-rights movements today make common cause with the Islamists in their opposition to Israel, the early gay-liberation groups were vocally pro-Cuba, despite the fact that Fidel Castro routinely imprisoned and murdered homosexuals.

The black civil rights movement was genuinely about civil rights—for blacks were in fact routinely denied civil rights. Yes, there was Communist involvement in the Civil Rights Movement at least from the ’30s on, but the movement under King was actually looking for civil rights redress, and it obtained that with the passage of the Voting Rights Act. From that time, however, the Marxists, Islamists and separatists took over, and transformed the movement from a civil rights movement to a “human rights” movement looking for “gimmes.” King, by the time he was murdered, was running after the movement he had formerly led to prevent himself from being sidelined.
The gay-rights movement was never truly a civil rights movement; it was always about “human rights.” There were injustices visited upon the homosexually-inclined; there used to be laws against serving drinks to homosexuals or permitting them to dance together, and in some states the sodomy-law penalties were horrific—up to twenty years’ imprisonment. But homosexuals were never denied the right to vote, as blacks were; there was movement afoot to repeal sodomy laws as far back as 1961 under the Model Penal Code and, with the voiding of the remaining sodomy laws by the Supreme Court a few years ago, there is really no “civil rights” issue that exists for the gay-rights movement. It has been about “human rights”—that is to say, special privileges—for well over 40 years.

Is marriage a divine process for species procreation?
Why do gay people feel the need to get married?
@ darkwords:
I went from being a defender of same-sex marriage back in my early days at Yertle’s place to a staunch opponent of it, as I clarified the distinction between the “human rights” sought by the gay-rights movement and the civil rights which are the basis of our Constitutional liberties.
There were a number of things that had bothered me about the gay-rights movement as far back as the late ’70s, when it interjected “human rights” into the political discussion during the Dade County rights-law controversy. It became increasingly obvious that the gay-rights movement was a foe of free speech, as it had backed “hate crime” laws, “speech codes,” had decried “hate speech” in order to ensure that honest discussion of issues would be impossible, had falsely equated speech (“-baiting”) with physical violence (“-bashing”), and had routinely characterized difference with its political goals of the moment as “hate” rather than disagreement or opposition.
Realization that the “gay” political identity was founded in 19th-century pseudoscience, and that the gay-rights movement was thoroughly based in communist political organizing, also contributed to this change of mind, as did the vicious attacks which the movement levied on anyone who dared to oppose it.

We read your blog post with interest and want to address some inaccuracies. The initiative does not require hospitals to “hide” or “lock up” formula, nor does it restrict access to it for those who want it. Parents who want formula will not have to convince a nurse to sign it out by giving a medical reason. Parents can and always will be able to simply ask for formula and receive it – no medical necessity required, no written consent. For 3 years, New York State Law has required that mothers be provided accurate information on the benefits of breastfeeding. The City initiative does not require that mothers asking for formula receive a lecture.
The piece erroneously dismisses the positive health impacts of breast feeding for which there is there is overwhelming evidence — supported by national and international health organizations. For mothers, breastfeeding reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancers. For babies, breastfeeding reduces the risk of ear, respiratory and gastrointestinal infections, as well as asthma.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has just published new guidance to pediatricians in Feb 2012, reaffirming its support for breastfeeding: http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/129/3/e827.full.pdf+html
Ultimately, our goal is to support a mother in whatever decision she makes when it comes to nursing her baby and this initiative specifically is designed to support a mother who decides that she wants to breast-feed by asking participating hospital staff to respect her and refrain from automatically supplementing her baby with formula (unless it becomes medically necessary or the mother changes her mind).
Bottom line: It does not restrict the mother’s nursing options in any way – nor does it restrict access to formula for those who want it.
