Projection: Swiss vote to ban new minarets

“Forced marriages and other things like cemeteries separating the pure and impure — we don’t have that in Switzerland, and we do not want to introduce it” said Ulrich Schlueer, co-president of the Initiative Committee to ban minarets.

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jSvKwQU-w3j6Gp8PWHRzV2hnh54QD9C97FPG1

Good for the Swiss !! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091127/ap_on_re_eu/eu_switzerland_minaret_ban

People’s Party lawmaker Walter Wobmann said minarets are part of Muslims’ strategy to make Switzerland Islamic. He said he feared Shariah law, which would create “parallel societies” where honor killings, forced marriages and even stoning are practiced.

Deb, the Alinsky stuff is intolerable … to dehumanise people to achieve ones goal of “helping people ” is insane , in that it is the absolute lie and pretense for grabbing power. it makes a mockery of any real progress toward humanity while pretending to know better “for people” that what they choose for themselves .
“The American Radical will fight privilege and power whether it be inherited or acquired by any small group, whether it be political or financial or organized creed.
“He curses a caste system which he recognizes despite all patriotic denials.
“He will fight conservatives whether they are business or labor leaders.
“He will fight any concentration of power hostile to a broad, popular democracy, whether he finds it in financial circles or in politics.
“The Radical recognizes that constant dissension and conflict is and has been the fire under the boiler of democracy. He firmly believes in that brave saying of a brave people, “Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!”
“The Radical may resort to the sword but when he does he is not filled with hatred against those individuals whom he attacks. He hates these individuals not as persons but as symbols representing ideas or interests which he believes to be inimical to the welfare of the people.
“That is the reason why Radicals, although frequently embarking upon revolutions, have rarely resorted to personal terrorism.”

Any basic course in logic can and will easily refute the principles here … you cannot dehumanise some people to bring equality to all …Alinsky is a moron …. how can anyone promote this for educators ?

Maybe they arent promoting Alinsky as much as educating the masses, especially since, in many instances, the term is thrown around like so much confetti.

The same arguement is used against schools that include educating students about homosexuality.

Swannie , Alinsky was a hate filled and I believe very sad person. This type gravitates to politcal extremism . Sometimes they do something worse. Like a virus they sneak into legitimate reform movements and ruin them. Hate will ruin any program it takes over.

considering 80% of teachers are female, i hardly see how women are left out, and i dont know what your schools are teaching wherever you are but last i heard it will take years of women being in office for them to find their place in history books.

So, Dances with Pumas hates chuch bells ringing and Obama love the prayer calls for islams LOLOLOL what a world, what a world

The Swiss minaret ban is not about religion.

It’s about preserving a free culture that won’t tolerate the repression of women or the insistence that Muslims follow Sharia instead of Swiss law.

Maybe a sign of the times representing the awakening of civilized societies?

to equate the Call to Prayer 5x a day (one of the most beautiful sounds in the world to obama, but a sound that would have me running for the hills) with church bells that simply toll the goddamned time is ridiculous. In fact right now the bells outside my window are ringing 12 times. Not menacing at all.
———————
xtian bells simple tolling the hour, or calling followers to sunday mass, may not be menacing to anyone dulled to commonality of internalized oppression, but, for some of us it’s a constant reminder of the shaft / ribbing of Eve, Lilith, Mary Magdalene, the burning of generations of witches, the co-opting of Paganism, the consistent subservient postitioning of women in the church, and the continuation of the denial of women’s rites and reproductive rights.

The church may not feel as menacing now because the bells are beautious and turn everything to pastel, but there were times when the church represented blood and death and everything they pretend to be against.
The media may have softened and become part of daily life but the political positions remain the same.

PS Added for clarity:

By the way, i never said the call to prayer 5 times a day were beautiful, i was merely saying it’s a crazy world, but again once more
a misinterpretation, just like i said happens on blogs and posting sometimes.

…”They seem to be heading into the territory of classifying Islam itself, the religion, as a hateful system of thought incompatible with democracy.”

If this is where they’re headed, I agree with the Swiss. IMO, ‘Islam’ really is NOT a religion (certainly not one teaching peace, love, kindness), but is rather a fascist, dogmatic cult, the core of which is teaching hatred and destruction by any means necessary of any non-Islamic belief system or way of life.

Murphy

Islam is not compatiable with democracy.
What one thing is it that Islam preaches that is compatiable with democracy?

Whoa ..so good to see you on the blog Pers.

While the Islamic call to prayer may sound as if it is the most beautiful sound on earth, it is not until you realize that those gathered are praying for what no other “religion” prays for,they pray that the word of the prophet Muhammad is carried out, that being the death of all the unbelievers, the infidel, and that Islamic law will rule the world, and anyone who tells you differently has not read the Habith, the spoken words of Muhammad.

I commend the Swiss who have said our laws are not compatible with Sharia law. We do not stone and behead women because they disobey a “religious law”
And I am doing the happy dance that it is womens voices that are leading the choir.
And I commend France who has said Sharia law is not compatible with their laws, we do not cover our women from head to toe..

Now if we could get our own POTUS to say Islams contributions to the world SUCK.

I am choking with disgust that the NEA is pushing these deceptive communication skills to teachers, and hence, to children. I am furious. Luckily I’m a member of AFT which I think is less militant/radical than the NeverEarnAnuff union.

Another reason to keep up the pressure opposing Obamacare: The Senate bill contains what looks like a VAT tax. Newsmax article excerpt:

“The Senate bill’s “fee” on medical devices operates much like a VAT, and could end up being the model for future adoption of an unprecedented VAT on all goods and services in the United States.

Deep into the 2,074-page bill, on page 2,020, is “SEC. 9009,” the “Imposition of Annual Fee on Medical Device Manufacturers and Importers.” It orders that “Each covered entity engaged in the business of manufacturing or importing medical devices shall pay to the [Treasury] Secretary not later than the annual payment date of each calendar year beginning after 2009 a fee in an amount determined under subsection (b).”

The amount of tax would be based on “gross receipts from medical device sales.” Treasury bureaucrats would have the formidable power of “identification of medical devices” and the new tax would be retroactive, applying to “any medical device sales after December 31, 2008.”"

That means the tax would apply to any medical device sales during 2009, presumably including such devices as artificial joints and prosthetics.

Islam is not compatible with democracy. Democracy defined is “A political system in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens who can elect people to represent them.” Majority Rules! Democracy is a philosophy which Islam’s have never exercised in their total existence and never will.

Islam will never be a democracy and I believe every democratic country in the world, SHOULD BAN MUSLIMS from Immigrating to their countries.

Muslims should live and die in their own 17th century countries where it is an evil and cursed world.

Have been checking out All the overseas reporting on the Climate Change Hoax…concerning emails released.
Even though Our media is NOT reporting on this.. like “O”… the cover up….but it looks like we have been HAD????

Good read over at No Quarter on this..New Zealand and Canada releasing more emails and lots of scientist have some explaining to do..at least to their people!!

But this is what caught my eye….

“New Zealand would pay about $30 million a year for at least three years into a US $10 billion global fund for developing countries to adopt low carbon-emitting policies, Prime Minister John Key indicated in Trinidad last night.”

“Britain’s share, if the fund were adopted, would be US $800 million and the United States even more.”

$10 BILLION…YES..$10 BILLION..US DOLLARS..WTF…IT IS ABOUT MONEY….REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH..TO 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES AND THE ONE WORLD ORDER!!

WE HAVE REALLLLY BEEN HAD..and we will become one of the NEW 3rd world countries!!

Have a good night…have read enough..nightmares coming!

Regarding minarets and church bells. Well, one of the only good things about religions in general is the beauty of their buildings. Usually that is to the benefit of all.

However, I applaud the Swiss banning of the minaret. Any oppressive and intimidating structures or symbols of dominance should be banned, and I hope that becomes the norm here …including the hideous oversized Mormon temples. I had to drive by the ghastly Mormon fortress in Maryland outside DC. It’s an abomination on the landscape, and in typical cult fashion, they allowed outsiders in once, at the “opening” and then gutted and burned and refitted everything in the temple that was “defiled” by nonbelievers. You have to see this scar inflicted on the land to believe it…it’s like something out of a evil empire in a scifi novel. These mega-structures need to be outlawed.

Our skylines and airwaves should be protected. And, as much as I might like the sound of bells I’ve been wondering why in hell the church down the street gets to determine when I wake up every blasted Sunday morning? Can I mount a musical device on the roof of my house and blare it whenever I determine the entire neighborhood needs to hear it? No? Then they can stfu on Sunday mornings.

My opinion of the sequel is exactly the same: We screwed up, we got in a war, now we have to win it.

Maybe not a popular position, but I DO want the US to be strong and to be safe. The Taliban/Al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan need to be diffused and kept in check OVER THERE.
I’m thankful for our military, though they need to keep a better eye on the enemies within, too.

now we have to win it.
—————-
and how will we know that we’ve “won”?

Thing is, al qaeda is a hydra… no central location, no bureaucratic hierarchy, etc., much like the anti-nuke US affinity groups of the ’80s. We’re not fighting the government of afghanistan… the president is one of our US oil boys.
This war is unwinnable in standard terms of “winning”.

#83 Dances
“This war is unwinnable in standard terms of “winning”.”
Agreed. This is not a standard war, but I believe these people are definately at war with us so we have to fight back.

#85
Problem remains: How does one identify “these people”?
The US hasn’t (can’t) declare war either because war is state vs state and the dumbya bush / dumber obama “wars” don’t fit the definition of war.

Michael Moore Asks If Obama Has Drunk The Bush Kool Aid

Posted on November 30, 2009

This is going to leave a mark. Of course, Obama listens to no one but Obama and his political advisers, clueless all (found during a venture into the fever swamps of the DU)

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Dear President Obama,

Do you really want to be the new “war president”? If you go to West Point tomorrow night (Tuesday, 8pm) and announce that you are increasing, rather than withdrawing, the troops in Afghanistan, you are the new war president. Pure and simple. And with that you will do the worst possible thing you could do — destroy the hopes and dreams so many millions have placed in you. With just one speech tomorrow night you will turn a multitude of young people who were the backbone of your campaign into disillusioned cynics. You will teach them what they’ve always heard is true — that all politicians are alike. I simply can’t believe you’re about to do what they say you are going to do. Please say it isn’t so.

We can contain the al queda with other countries help, they will take over if we leave so we are caught in a war of invisible dangerous hating people that are extremist to the fullest meaning of the word.
Iran is funding them so you know it’s gonna get nasty indeed it will
keep any kind of peaceful negotiations almost an impossibility. None of us like it, but they brought it to us I dont know but it’s pretty apparent the answers are deep down in the crevices of the minds of evil men to me.

I simply can’t believe you’re about to do what they say you are going to do. Please say it isn’t so.

Obama Shatters Spending Record for First-Year Presidents

“President Obama has shattered the budget record for first-year presidents — spending nearly double what his predecessor did when he came into office and far exceeding the first-year tabs for any other U.S. president in history.”

Oh, I wanted to tell you. I went away to a special cabin–amazing experience. BUT, I also did something else…I touched, held and shot guns for the first time! lol (I’ve *always* been very afraid of guns.) I went to a range and I shot 13 different kinds of guns, including a S & W Magnum .357, a Mossberg 500 12 gauge shotgun (pistol grip) and…an AK-47! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvrG4T2K4sE

Also, I was *perfect* shooting far away targets w/ Ruger .22 (rifle).

Anyway, I *DID* actually think of you PUMAS when I was there! I thought of murphy’s post called “Get a Gun”–I think it was called, and so that helped build courage. I had a shaky hand at first from the nerves but I got through it. Empowering, scary, and exciting experience. See ya’ll later. Feel good.

“The Swiss have failed to give a clear signal for diversity, freedom of religion and human rights” said Omar Al-Rawi, Integration representative of the Islamic Denomination in Austria

Interesting that Omar would use the words diversity, freedom of religion and human rights while referencing Islam.

Omar baby…where is the diversity in Islam? There is Islam and there is the unclean Infidels.
Freedom of religion, where are the churches in Islamic countries? Would Omar allow me to preach Christianity in Iran? Crap my ass would be in jail and I would be stoned before Omar could give his title. “Integration Representative”? WTF

Human rights, this spoken from a man whose religious cult beliefs are women have NO rights because they are not human.

Give me a break Omar, you’re a freak and a hypocrite.

The Coalition formed to fight the decision of President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder to try the 9/11 co-conspirators in New York City’s federal court, effectively giving war criminals the same rights as American citizens while endangering the safety of all New Yorkers.
Two weeks ago, we sent a letter signed by 300 family members of 9/11 victims to the President, Attorney General and Defense Secretary Robert Gates asking them to reverse course. The letter has now been signed by over 120,000 Americans and is posted below.

Well back to my list for packing ……….

obama speech tomorrow night…

I’d like to see him go on TV Tuesday night and say, “My fellow Americans, I was wrong. Our war in Afghanistan has nothing to do with national security anymore and we can’t afford it, and I’m not sending one more kid into harm’s way to fight there. As of tonight, I’m ordering a complete withdrawal.” But the odds of that happening are slimmer than a licorice rope. Obama couldn’t take the heat.

Former four-star Barry McCaffrey, the military-industrial ghoul who was the worst of the retired military media analysts who helped sell the Iraq war to the American public, is, incredibly, back on the air with NBC. He’s pushing the “no exit strategy, no timeline in Afghanistan” line. McCaffrey has ties to DynCorp International, a company that has a five-year contract to support bases in Afghanistan.

A swell fellow, that McCaffrey is, but he’s really just a symptom of a larger American disease. Our wars, even though they’re destroying our economy, are making a lot of people rich. The cash caisson, the gravy ship, and the wild blue budget continue to grow. War is our only export, and counterinsurgency is the perfect tool of the Long War mafia, because counterinsurgency wars are unwinnable.

FL Barbara,

#178 – Even his MSM supporters are starting to get tired of the “Blame it on Bush” meme…

Cape Hatteras,

#184 – Who’s to say they didn’t? Look at how much the MSM is covering them. Nice little distraction while the HC debate starts and BO gets ready to talk about Afghanistan. The party crashers are getting as much coverage.

CJK: I don’t think PUMA is dead at all. We are the only ones who have stayed together. Some have left but you know they are lurking. Everyone else splintered off because of whatever reason. Ego, Israel, Palin, tea parties – whatever. But we’re still here fighting. If you want to organize and make a difference you have to find common ground on basic issues. What happened to Taggles? Really, WTF happened? We can’t be that petty that we have to pick up our toys and leave. Hell, I miss the radio shows.

Puma-sf, I miss the radio shows, too. And I adored taggles. She got caught up in an eddy, to continue the RIVER analogies. And I, for one, would welcome her back. She was no different from our HP. Passionate, outspoken.
omg, the passion! I think that is a PUMA trait we all share.

In the end she tried something separate and got shafted. I would like to hear her end of how it went wrong…even if…dang…lost my train of thought but no matter. Let me put it this way. Cinie is an original and will never give up. Taggles is yet another PUMA who tried it her way…and walked away when it was necessary.

Passion may lead to missteps… so what. We have bigger fish to fry.

PUMA SF 192

Hi, Puma SF, how are you? The link above shows some results on Riverdaughter’s survey and four comments. The survey results are in line with your comment.

Personally, Murphy is my leader! Murph, you’re brilliant and passionate, and I love ya, but I confess that my loyalty may be primarily because we are fellow Aquarians!

One of the comments refers to three women leaders in the PUMA movement, one of whom I do not remember hearing about. Maybe I don’t know her blog name. Anyway, Murphy is not mentioned!

I agree with you, PUMA SF. Other than this blog, I have usually read Riverdaughter and other Conflucians, but that group does not have the same focus and drive as we do, IMHO.

“One more thing: I think PUMA is dead.”

WTF?

” I’m not dead yet !? I want to go for a walk ! I feel Happy ! I feel Happy !”

War propaganda – how Obama media plays with the numbers
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2009/12/01/more-war-headlines/

Why would Riverdaughter thank obama for obstacles placed in front of Puma when she herself is pronouncing Puma dead? I would expect a self-congratulatory statement from her. From the very beginning RD stated the confluence wasn’t Puma. Too bad she seems to have internalized the obotic meme.
Taggles has always been hot tempered and erratic, it’s her way or the highway and I’ll never forgive her for the way she treated Murphy and disinvited her to participate of the shidderwhines; madB is either warm and friendly or cutthroat, depending on her personal goals… in the end, madB did to taggles what taggles did to Murphy… karmic returns. The shidders were the manifestation of all they criticized obama for…

Bottom line? With friends like these… who needs obots?

Cinie… up front. What you see is what you get, imo. Agree or not with her pov, I’d chose one Cinie over a hundred of teh others who, much like dogs, jump up and lick your face while they’re peeing on your leg.

I feel the same way about OPs vs the rest of pumas.

Good morning! Sorry I have been MIA for a couple of days. It took a while to get Roxie to realize she is home again. She was very traumatized. Would wake up every 10 minutes looking startled until she realized I was right next to her. She could not be farther away from me than a paws touch. She is doing much better now. The vets office called and apologized to me saying I did not owe the boarding fees, so that’s good news.
I have been so worried about Roxie that I forgot my continuing ed is due for my license renewal so I have to do 40 hours this week to get it done. I will be mostly lurking until then
WTF is this about PUMA is dead? Go fuck yourself and the horse you rode in on.
Too many egos over there, like the saying goes too many chiefs, not enough indians

I am happy just being Security Czar
ciao for now
Roxie sends big sloppy thank you kisses to all of you for your love!

I see dead people???

A good PUMA read

Subduing Women’s Sexuality
– by Hege Storhaug FrontPage Magazine

” In Islam, sexuality is seen to have three main positive aspects: the human sexual drive ensures reproduction; it produces intellectual energy; and the sexual act itself provides the man with a foretaste of what he will experience in paradise – the eternal orgasm.  On earth, however, man’s most important task is devotion to Allah. Therefore, love between man and wife is viewed as an enemy of Muslim society.  Marital love can disturb the husband’s attachment to Allah. ”

http://frontpagemag.com/2009/11/30/subduing-women%E2%80%99s-sexuality-by-hege-storhaug/

Michelina

Me thinks they need to work on that “intellectual energy” part.

So basically Muslim men who are on a suicide mission are doing so to get to heavan for a “eternal orgasm”
So maybe women should just be lousy in bed and the terrorists wouldn’t be in such a hurry to get to paradise.

Lousy in bed will save lifes.Men do what they do to have an “eternal orgasm”

See, I have always said women hold the power.LOL

All this pain and suffering so HE can have an “eternal orgasm”

You got to hand it to Muhammad sitting there trying to figure out How do I get men to kill others and kill themselves too ?

Ohhhhh I know Sex, promise them an eternal orgasm!!

Freaks

On another topic, I think we should adopt the ‘Running while female’ and “Support Majority Candidates” labels to suppport women candidates. (A take on the “Driving while Black”) Maybe we could reach people (especially women) that realize that there is something sinister about how women candidates are treated. I fiddled with bumperstickers (cause I didn’t want to bother poor Dances yet again), but failed. Just a thought from the treadmill.

Got to go take care of Lilly, she is not feeling well she soooooo wants to go to Florida.
BBL

We gave up the Democratic label because it was co-opted by Obots, we aren’t feminists because Limbaugh calls us femi-nazis, we can’t be liberals because repubs made the term ‘tax and spend liberal” and now we are supposed to stop being PUMAs because blog stalkers say PUMAs are ra cists and old. Maybe if we stopped cutting and running, we could figure out what is important to us and we could actually accomplish our goals. Oh, wait that is what we do here, duh!!!
————————
Exactly!!!
cut and run aren’t the people I ever want to team up with.
We’ll never know who our team members are if they allow others to define them. The shame of it is they will never know who they are. Pathetic.

ZEE ,
GONG ! Wrong .
Nice try though .

(man ,tt, that was a good one ! lol)

Still love ya Zee and thanks for the bacon site !

Here’s a calendar of Martha Coakley events.

http://www.marthacoakley.com/events

The hits just keep on coming. The stories are piling up against Obama this week.

Peggy Noonan – He Can’t take another bow (OUCH!):
http://online.wsj.com/article/declarations.html

He added that rather than bowing to emperors—Mr. Obama “seems to do this stuff spontaneously and inexplicably”—he should begin to bow to “the voices of experience” in Washington.

When longtime political observers start calling for wise men, a president is in trouble.

It also raises a distressing question: Who are the wise men and women now? Who are the Robert Lovetts, Chip Bohlens and Robert Strausses who can came in to help a president in trouble right his ship? America seems short of wise men, or short on those who are universally agreed to be wise. I suppose Vietnam was the end of that, but establishments exist for a reason, and it is hard for a great nation to function without the presence of a group of “the oldest and wisest” who can not only give sound advice but help engineer how that advice will be reported and received.

I guess Obama is just not that into Michael Moore and his begging him to not send troops to Afghanistan.
The WH confirms Obama will send 30,000 troops to Afghanistan.

Correct me if I am wrong but won’t that be considered a “Surge” ???

If it weren’t so damn sad it would be funny.

How many times will Obama blame Bush in tonights speech?

Honora

I love the idea of the “Running while Female” campaign as a way to bring awareness to the sexism and misogyny directed to female candidates.
Brilliant.

((((((((PUMAS))))))))
Good morning all lovely, wonderful PUMAS everywhere! We’re still here.

PUMA Lives! PUMA Lives! PUMA Lives!

Here’s my two cents’ worth for a bumper sticker:
‘Running With Females’ (sort of like running with scissors! )
Also, I like honora’s ‘Running While Female,’ which gave me the idea for ‘Running With Females.’

Also, FLBarbara, I like your ban all marriage idea. It’s never really any good for women anyhow. It benefits men primarily, at women’s expense (perhaps not necessarily in a material sense, but in soooooo many other ways).

Also, Zee, your comment upthread countering the RD ‘PUMA is dead’ meme rang true for me: “Let her continue to turn her soap box over to a male clown who LOVES Mormons and whines his ass off about his numerous ex-wives. PUMA is not up to her to bury.” I had enormous respect for RD until she allowed the male clown’s ego to spew all over her blog and every commenter, propelled by his pernicious, surreptitious woman-hatred. Also, running the gauntlet of the nauseatingly obligatory ‘PC’ crap over there was a waste of precious energy that’s better spent speaking the truth and helping take action here at Murphy’s.

A troop surge can only magnify the crime against Afghanistan

If Barack Obama heralds an escalation of the war, he will betray his own message of hope and deepen my people’s pain

Malalai Joya

After months of waiting, President Obama is about to announce the new US strategy for Afghanistan. His speech may be long awaited, but few are expecting any surprise: it seems clear he will herald a major escalation of the war. In doing so he will be making something worse than a mistake. It is a continuation of a war crime against the suffering people of my country.

I have said before that by installing warlords and drug traffickers in power in Kabul, the US and Nato have pushed us from the frying pan to the fire. Now Obama is pouring fuel on these flames, and this week’s announcement of upwards of 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan will have tragic consequences.

Already this year we have seen the impact of an increase in troops occupying Afghanistan: more violence, and more civilian deaths. My people, the poor of Afghanistan who have known only war and the domination of fundamentalism, are today squashed between two enemies: the US/Nato occupation forces on one hand and warlords and the Taliban on the other.

While we want the withdrawal of one enemy, we don’t believe it is a matter of choosing between two evils. There is an alternative: the democratic-minded parties and intellectuals are our hope for the future of Afghanistan.

It will not be easy, but if we have a little bit of peace we will be better able to fight our own internal enemies – Afghans know what to do with our destiny. We are not a backward people, and we are capable of fighting for democracy, human and women’s rights in Afghanistan. In fact the only way these values will be achieved is if we struggle for them and win them ourselves.

After eight years of war, the situation is as bad as ever for ordinary Afghans, and women in particular. The reality is that only the drug traffickers and warlords have been helped under this corrupt and illegitimate Karzai government. Karzai’s promises of reform are laughable. His own vice-president is the notorious warlord Fahim, whom Brad Adams of Human Rights Watch describes as “one of the most notorious warlords in the country, with the blood of many Afghans on his hands”.

Transparency International reports that this regime is the second most corrupt in the world. The UN Development Programme reports Afghanistan is second last – 181st out of 182 countries – in terms of human development. That is why we no longer want this kind of “help” from the west.

TNA has an excellent post today re BO’s sexist, misogynistic, homophobic buddies Rick Warren and Larry Summers. BO’s hypocrisy and lies re women and gays come home to roost.

http://thenewagenda.net/2009/12/01/obamas-misogynistic-associations-come-back-to-bite-him/

i dont think thats RD was is what she was trying to do .
& i agree puma is far from dead & never will be

#241 article link

“The only thing Warren is interested in is marriage itself: the sacred union between a man and his helpmate (and notice who is the subject of that formulation and who is relegated to an adjectival subservience). In conservative Christian ideology, human marriage replicates the bond between Christ and his church, with the husband in the role of Christ (of course) and the wife playing the part of devoted church”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I dont know this author, but i dont know what log they have been lying under, because baby doll, i sure never thought my husband was Jesus! Good lord. It’s funny to me, it really is, how some people think they can interpret a concept. Now, maybe there are some really radical women out there who actually believe that crap, but they are from old time religious and probably ignorant ones at that. Anyway, I promise you this one thing. I was never a Rick Warren fan to start off with. What really bothered me about his book The Purpose Driven Life, was not what was in it, before i tried to read it, my sister gave it to me. Was that i was working parttime at a school, and i saw women teachers walking around with that book, not realizing their churches were actually having workshops on it, that’s how my sister ended up with it. I asked my sister at that time, dont you think it’s strange to act like this book deserves workshops? I mean afterall, you have one of the best sellers, the Bible, to try to interpret the rest of your life? Dont ya?
Bottom line. Our country doesnt need to worry about the divorce rates. We have plenty of them. This country doesnt have to worry about female abuse, we get notice daily in the news. It’s rampant. That’s why this whole Rhiana story will wake some young women up. Thank God!
Soooooo, no matter what Rick Warren, or the Pope, or any religious leader says, women have become informed, now it’s time
for all WOMEN to step up their game and just say, OH HELL NO< NO MORE

On the go but I love the running while female

Political Candiate + Sexism = Woman

Speaking of BO’s apparently limitless hypocrisy, there’s an interesting post at WomenState today about BO’s auntie from Kenya. (She actually calls GWB her ‘No. 1 man,’ not her nephew!) Also, check out the video at top left, ‘Puttin’ on the Glitz.’ While much of America is unemployed, poor, hungry, standing in line for commodities, BO and MO wasted in excess of a half million dollars on their recent state dinner, much of which apparently went into an elaborate, one-of-a-kind, hand-made gown for MO. Sadly, even such an extravagant gown does not mask nor minimize awkward, lumbering gait and perpetually dour, hateful expression.

Check out the photo of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul at the article link in #248. Could these minarets be more blatantly phallic in symbolism?! They remind me of some sort of grotesque nuclear missiles!
FLBarbara, these minarets must be some imam’s architectural notion of reminding Islamic males about that ‘eternal orgasm’ Muhammed promised them.

I wish Italy success with its minaret construction ban.

CJK

Yep very phallic and of course they serve as directions to the way to the “eternal Orgasm” LOL

This is interesting from the article.

“The Northern League have frequently made headlines for their views on Islam and immigration, most notably during the Danish cartoon row in 2006, when Mr Calederoli wore a T-shirt emblazoned with one of the anti-Islamic images.  They have also allowed pigs to graze over sites where mosques were earmarked in order to make them unholy, while recently, the Northern League was accused of racism after it emerged that a local scheme to rid a town of illegal immigrants had been nicknamed ‘White Christmas’.

Grazing pigs and renaming towns with a chrisitian reference who knew?

I will rename Ft Lauderdale Jingle Bells.

is that a minaret in your pocket or are ya just glad to see me?

Awesome article. Tnx.

Dominique Sharpton daughter of Al Sharpton and her mom were arrested in NY after Dominique veered out of her lane passed a police car ran a red light and forced another car out of her way
.
When stopped by police she and mom in a profanity laden rant told the officer that “he, police officer, was driving too slow and she was late and in a hurry to get to a play”
Her lawyer says “she was “just excercising her right to free speech

The interview is very revealing re the sexism/misogyny of Turkish Islam. Ates (a Turkish Muslim who emigrated to Germany with her family when she was 6) was shot by a Turkish Islamic man as she sat in a Berlin women’s shelter trying to counsel/help a 15-year-old abused Turkish Muslim girl. The man fatally shot the girl. Despite her experience, Ates seems to remain courageous and idealistic in her efforts to change her faith from the inside. Her latest book is “Islam Needs a Sexual Revolution.” While we in the west may believe that goes without saying, her perspective and persistence are interesting. She apparently believes the West must not give in to unreformed or fundamentalist Islam.

Yeah, I know! I had to try, tho. I spent Halloween with an old friend who went Obot…every day I have to steel myself not to send her links to how horrible Zero is. I decided to move forward with such completely “wrong” friends even if they’re not ready to cop to how wrong they are, and as long as they’re quiet on the subject, I will be, too. Let them utter one single word, like my cousin did, on something like whether I “really” voted for Palin (morons still equate the VP slot with Obama’s top spot and have no clue they’re actually elevating Palin) and I let them have it full blast, including links and stories they somehow missed.

Am I crazy?? No! Never!

Well, maybe once in a full moon…

Interesting tidbit on Zerobama’s illegal aunt in Boston. It seems Bush placed a temporary order to prevent her arrest and deportation during the 2008 election. Whether that’s because the elite wanted to control the narrative in order to install their chosen one…or because the elite always help out one of their own behind the scenes…it still points to different rules for them, and that’s as anti-American as you can get. The article is worth reading in full, to see how Zero has stowed his aunt under the bus for now…

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091201/ap_on_re_us/us_obama_aunt;_ylt=AsfwU_DsRpqAooKIteroUZ9H2ocA;_ylu=X3oDMTE1Yjc4Zmc4BHBvcwMyBHNlYwN5bi1jaGFubmVsBHNsawNhcGV4Y2×1c2l2ZW8-

Onyango reserved special words of kindness for former President George W. Bush for a directive he put in place days before the election requiring federal agents get high-level approval to arrest fugitive immigrants, which directly affected Onyango. The directive made clear that U.S. officials worried about possible election implications of arresting Onyango.

She said she wants to thank Bush in person for the order, which gave her a measure of peace but was lifted weeks later.

“I loved President Bush,” Onyango said while moving toward a framed photo of Bush and his wife standing with Barack and Michelle Obama at the White House on inauguration day. “He is my No. 1 man in my life because he helped me when I really needed that help.”

madB went off on taggles on the blog… I think madB misread taggles but… whatever, just as taggles went off on Murphy with personal attacks and basically banned Murphy from their fascist blog… even though Murphy was her usual self… rational, insightful, brilliant, and gracious.

and I don’t mean “f” as in feminist

Dances: Thanks for reminding me about the ban. Where’s Murphy? I need to give her a hug.

Dances…I didn’t go often enough to keep up, but I did remember that madB went off her rocker and started censoring posts, so I guess I just wrongly concluded taggles got fed up with that. Yeah, I remember they weren’t interested in listening and actual exchange. But their lowest point was when they piled on “Daddy’s Darlin” and defended this guy for making awful jokes about child molestation! And blamed it on her supposedly having an “obvious” porn handle. There’s a movie with the title Daddy’s Darlings, which is a family film, and every time I see it listed on tv I think of how inexcusably disgusting they were…but by that time it was down to madB and a couple others.

Cool, BCL, thanks.

Zee
Daddy’s Darlin was also a great Puma…
met her in Denver where she worked her ass off.

Well, I hope she sees that her nym was also the title of a family film, so it’s not true that it automatically brings “porn” to mind. Depends on the mind, I guess.

Remember how Zero’s campaign was funded by the little contributions? Hahaha. Yeah, right.

http://www.southernstudies.org/2009/12/the-campaign-cash-behind-the-afghanistan-escalation.html

Anti-war groups are already planning protests against the escalation…Some are calling the president’s plan to ratchet up the war a betrayal of the Democratic base….But while the president may be showing disloyalty to his political base, he’s remaining faithful to the defense industry interests that so generously funded his campaign.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics’ OpenSecrets.org database, the top recipient of defense industry money in the 2008 election cycle was Barack Obama, whose haul of $1,029,997 far surpassed Republican contender Sen. John McCain’s $696,948.

You can deposit one for her right now and drop another when she’s around. OPs can be a phalanx (type this very carefully) and place Murphy in the middle to buffer her from all the crap she, and her family, have taken from obots, faux BFFs, and others who just don’t seem to understand the principle of human decency and doing that which is simply right. I’m not that crazy about Murphy myself but I do have a sense of fairness… as we all do… otherwise we wouldn’t be here in the first place.

A good friend from Houston sent this to me and it is so true:
There comes a point in your life when you realize
Who matters,
Who never did,

And who always will.
So, don’t worry about the people from your past, there’s a reason why they didn’t make it to your future.

Sad so Sad.

Obama is a blow hard — I did this, I did that — look at my I am a hero.

He just said some cadets have served in Afghanistan – bullshit – being a cadet means you’re in school getting an education. LOSER.

Simo..
why do we do this to ourselves?

prp — yep — me me me — what I have done —

He talks about the economy then has a HUGE state dinner — date night – spends all that jet fuel flying around sightseeing

He SUCKS

I think I will get a teleprompter for christmas. I will put all my work speeches on a teleprompter going forward.

I have the sound on mute too. BO had better hurry up and finish. The Cadets look like they are falling asleep.

Hillary looks beautiful!

Sarah Palin has sold a million copies of her book, ‘Going Rogue: An American Life,’ in two weeks. Other books that’ve sold as well include Bill Clinton’s ‘My Life,’ Hillary’s ‘Living History,’ and of course, the Fraud’s ‘The Audacity of Hope’ by the ‘guy in his neighborhood,’ Bill Ayers.
