Ptown Patriot: A Lesbian Conservatve Blog in the Heart of Gaytopia

Posted on May 2, 2012 by

Any gay woman leaning to the Right and living in the heart of Provincetown, Massachusetts has to certainly be made of sterner stuff.  For Ptown, the queer playground of the Eastern seaboard and the Mecca of LGBT progressive group think, is anything but hospitable to gay men and women who dare to devise political dreams not officially approved by the Democrat Party.

Meet the Ptown Patriot.  What a treat to discover yet another conservative sister.  Here’s an introduction from the Ptown Patriot’s About page:

I am an American first.  I believe in freedom and liberty and a traditional view of the Constitution. I believe in individual rights versus the collective.  I love my country and do not apologize for it, nor do I revise history to fit a global worldview. I think my country is exceptional in culture, in sports, and in our compassion for others.

I am a 9-11 first responder, but I was patriotic on 9-10. I believe that we are in a long fight against Islamic radical extremists. I believed that in 1993 during the first WTC attack.  I believe in a strong national defense and that includes legal immigration, not a welfare state which continues to open the doors for more recipients.

I believe in a small government, less taxes, capitalism and a free market economy, that is the answer to health care reform—I live under Romneycare.

I became pro-life after years of contemplation, personal reasons and a trip to the Museum of American History when I was in DC for the 9-12 march.  There I saw a life-like model of the fetus in different stages.  I felt overwhelmed with grief and knew after years of straddling the fence that I was on the side of life.

And lastly I am gay.  I am happily married to my spouse.  We have been together for 25 years.  I do not hate myself or hate the gay lifestyle which is often attributed to gays that leave the conga line.  I believe in the privatization of marriage meaning that the states should not issue “licenses” and therefore consenting adults can marry.

We have individual rights given to us by God.  Marriage is an institution.  I want to equal the benefits of Social Security so my spouse can receive “what I paid into” the system in case of my death.  And I want to stop paying taxes for her health benefits.  That’s it!   Ptown Patriot

Stop by and say, Hi!

We Are Everywhere!

Murder Six People, Get 5 1/2 Years in Prison

Posted on May 1, 2012 by

The career category of mass murderer is very much an equal opportunity profession and if you’re a female member of a Muslim hit squad from the killing fields of Bosnia, you can certainly be sure to get that extra special consideration for all your faults and failings.  After all, what’s a little old-fashioned genocide when compared to the gender oppression of so many wacky women.

Rasema Handanovic took part in the execution-style slayings of six Croatian villagers in the Spring of 1993.  And after helping to do her bit in the forward thinking craft of jingoistic ethnic cleansing, Ms. Rasema was rewarded with a free pass into the good old USA, gaining coveted American citizenship despite her unchecked, unverified redacted resume.

But the American dream came to an ignominious end for this madam, at least temporarily, when in December 2011 the powers that be finally figured out the true past of this Handanovic dame and extradited her murdering butt back to her homeland to stand trial.

Handanovic pleaded guilty last week and agreed to testify against other former members of her unit under a plea bargaining agreement which saw her get a lighter sentence.  She was a member of the Zulfikar special unit, which was under the direct control of the Muslim-led Bosnian army headquarters.  She was sentenced to five-and-a-half years in jail.  UK Telegraph

Sentenced to 5 1/2 years in prison for mass murder.  Well, that’s just the right amount of time to work toward a bachelor’s degree while incarcerated at public expense.  Perhaps she could major in multicultural studies and then write a book on being a single Muslim mom on the radical run from the West’s war against women.  I’m sure it would be a New York Times bestseller.   And gee, they could use this photo of her on the book jacket—she had sort of a Bernadine Dohrn thing going on back then.  Yep, there is definitely a bestseller in the making here.

The court had heard how she was a member of the Bosnian army’s feared special unit, the Zulfikar, which killed with impunity during the conflict.

Handanovic had shot a woman and an elderly couple dead. She was also accused of joining a firing-squad execution of unarmed Croatian soldiers and civilians on the same day.

A total of 18 Croat civilians and four prisoners of war, were killed during the attack on April 16 1993.   Daily Mail

Britain: Worst Social Mobility in Western World

Posted on May 1, 2012 by

Can anyone be surprised at the latest study showing that the nanny nation known as the United Kingdom has the worst upward mobility prospects for its citizens than any other Western country?  And of course, the obvious solution to this cultural conundrum from a socialist progressive mindset must be more more more governmental intervention into the dead-end lives of the British working classes.

As the matronly ministers of this sceptered isle of done-and-gone glories of a pissed on past get set to somehow salvage the lumpenproletariat of their failed socialist state, one hard-working British Betty over at the Daily Mail points out the obvious bump in England’s road to prosperity.  Actually, the commenter’s name is Linda.

I’m 50 and the youngest in a working class family of 4 and we are from a former mining area.  I think the difference when we were young was we had parents who, despite not being financially well off, wanted us to better ourselves by whatever means we could. They had witnessed the poverty of the 20s and 30s, were young adults serving during the war and were then grateful for the NHS and the welfare state as a safety net for difficult times – NOT as a lifestyle option.  I’d say we’ve all done reasonably well through our efforts and hard work.  I put myself through night school in my late 20s to get a business qualification, then I took a full-time degree, graduating when I was 35.  At 45 I started a business which is now doing well and giving me a tidy living.  Unfortunately, all I see in my area are too many people who can’t be bothered to get up in the mornings to do a days work and who have no sense of purpose to pass on to their kids.  This is the problem.   Daily Mail

The welfare state as a lifestyle option.  Well, there’s an old but wise axiom of a bygone era that many folks were wont to quote: You get what you pay for.  Cultivate dependent drones, you get dependent drones.  So why would anyone be shocked at a very predictable outcome?

Cut off the welfare checks and see just how fast these little buggers get big time motivated.  Perhaps then the UK wouldn’t have to import workers by the droves from Eastern Europe to fill all those vacant retail, hospitality, restaurant, and catering jobs.  How head-shakingly hilarious that the taxes paid by these imported foreign workers help support the homegrown lazy losers on the dole.  Cut off the checks—that’s the kind of boot up the backside desperately needed for the British working classes.

The Redneck Bashes the Bully Queen: A Jim Goad Gut Punch

Posted on May 1, 2012 by

Jim Goad, author of the Redneck Manifesto and Shit Magnet, has written the penultimate response to Dan Savage’s anti-Christian hate rant and to the gay grievance groupies that Savage represents.  Goad is well-known for his smack-in-the-face writing style, spitting out his hard-bitten cultural blasphemies with a deliberate disregard for the politically correct puritanism of the liberal status quo.

In Tiptoeing Through a Minefield of Pansy Asses written for Taki’s Magazine, Mr. Goad goes for the gay jugular, taking on the disreputable Dan Savage and his whole anti-bullying campaign.

Thirty years after graduating from high school, Dan Savage is STILL acting like a fag and stewing over what was apparently some tremendous emotional scarring.

Instead of “It Gets Better,” how about “Get Over It!” or even “Get Over Yourself!” or maybe “Didn’t You Graduate From High School a Long Time Ago?”

Frankly, I think you’re all acting like a bunch of fags.  And I use the word “fags” strictly to denote a weakness of character. It has nothing to do with the procreative organs our blessed Lord bestowed upon you to your apparent ingratitude.  If you prefer I use the term “pussies” or “babies” or “whiners” or “sissies,” well, I respect your preferences, but for now I’m still going to call you a bunch of fags.

Some of you appear to have an identity founded on persecution and manage to feel persecuted even if no one shows the slightest interest in persecuting you. At some point I start wondering, “Are you not being bashed enough?  Is this why you’ve resorted to getting in people’s faces and rubbing their noses in shit—on the outside chance that you’ll anger one of them enough to bash you?  Do you feel incomplete without at least one bashing a decade?”   Taki’s Magazine

Jim Goad skewers liberals and conservatives alike but I enjoy his raunchy working-class perspective and his powerful writing style.  I’ve read his Manifesto, the full title of which is The Redneck Manifesto: How Hillbillies, Hicks, and White Trash Became America’s Scapegoats.  First published in 1997, this book was ahead of its time in challenging the Left’s use of race hustling to further their political agenda.

And Taki’s Magazine provides cultural commentary from a very irreverent libertarian point of view.  You may not always agree with the opinions expressed, but I think you’ll admire their moxy.

The Death of Right and Wrong: Tammy Bruce on Target

Posted on April 30, 2012 by

If you’re looking for an easy to read but solid summary of the Left’s cultural shenanigans and the devastating effects of its war on America’s psyche, then I would wholeheartedly recommend Tammy Bruce’s scathing polemic, The Death of Right and Wrong: Exposing the Left’s Assault on our Culture and Values.   As the snotty review of her book by Publishers’ Weekly back in 2003 correctly states, Ms. Bruce rips into the progressive gurus and their phony catechism of moral chaos.

Bruce argues that multiculturalism, identity politics and “relativism” have turned American society into a “moral vacuum” incapable of distinguishing right from wrong, a reflection of the “malignant narcissism” of an all-powerful “Left Elite.”    Amazon.com

And many thanks to Arty for giving me the unintentional nudge to finally get Tammy’s book read and mentally registered. Here are three little nuggets from the Death of Right and Wrong to ponder:

  • The Left has had to restrict individual freedom of thought and deed in order to destroy the concept of judgment and undermine notions of right and wrong.

  • The disintegration of our culture, and the conditioning of people into accepting it in silence, begins with legitimizing the depraved.

  • When your victimhood is your empowerment, recovery is the enemy, and working on individual change becomes counterproductive, even dangerous to your identity.

Jokes, Insults, and No Sense of Humor—Welcome to the White House Correspondents Dinner

Posted on April 29, 2012 by

Jimmy Kimmel did a standup comedy schtick at the 2012 White House Correspondents Dinner for an exceedingly Left-leaning audience of media, Hollywood, and progressive politicians.  Although there were some familiar faces on hand to represent real life as we know it, like Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey, the bulk of the monied mugs paying homage to themselves were the usual supercilious suspects.

And even though Kimmel laced his comic commentary with plenty of shots at personalities on both sides of the political divide, the only man boob stupid enough to make a public stink about the jab elbowed in his direction was the ever-pompous, self-important Keith Olbermann.

It was interesting to note the tension in the room when Kimmel took aim at some of the sacred cows of the Left.  I can’t wait to see what the 2013 dinner will be all about when President Romney is sitting there in the seat of honor.

Kimmel hosts the late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC.

Gay Anti-Bullying Speaker Curses and Mocks Teenage Christians

Posted on April 28, 2012 by

It was supposed to be a national journalism conference for high school students from around the country but it turned out to be an anti-Christian propaganda tirade spewed forth by none other than Dan Savage, the queer anti-bullying guru who portrays himself as the savior of all those disaffected and abused gay youth out there supposedly hunkered down in America’s school systems.

Savage, who sells himself as the Pied Piper of gay youth activism, runs a non-profit called It Gets Better, an ongoing anti-bullying project backed by big money and supported by big names in business and politics.  Mr. Savage also writes a sex advice column in an online rag called The Stranger.  In his latest advice to the sexually confused and culturally repressed, Dan Dick Head waxes poetic on the liberating lustfulness of random sexual hookups and how such encounters just might lead to a lasting relationship if handled with a bit of post-coital courtesy.

Now, sometimes people hook up with strangers precisely because they wanna have sex with someone they don’t know and don’t expect to see again. And that’s not always a bad idea: Having sex with someone who you don’t expect to see again can be very liberating.

A girl who can’t let herself go with a guy she’s dating…will grind the dick off a hookup…Say a straight boy has always wanted a girl to put him in her panties and peg his ass. What if she freaks out and dumps him?

Treat your hookups like people you might actually see again—like human beings with human feelings, not just human holes and/or poles—and you might actually see them again.  The Stranger

Apparently, Mr. Savage’s idea of IT getting better for America’s gay youth seems to have everything to do with the number and types of sexual encounters to be had in our very modern world of happy horny HIV hedonism.

Ok, so much for the introduction to the maggot mindset of Dan Savage, role model extraordinaire.  Now, back to his speech at the National High School Journalism Conference…

Savage was supposed to give a talk to the students on the evils of bullying but instead he spent his time trashing Christianity while mocking and name-calling the 100 or so high school kids who had the guts to stand up and walk out on this disgustingly disingenuous jerk-off.

Rick Tuttle, the journalism advisor for Sutter Union High School in California, was among several thousand people in the audience. He said they thought the speech was one thing – but it turned into something else.

“I thought this would be about anti-bullying,” Tuttle told Fox news. “It turned into a pointed attack on Christian beliefs.”

Tuttle said a number of his students were offended by Savage’s remarks – and some decided to leave the auditorium.

“It became hostile,” he said. “It felt hostile as we were sitting in the audience – especially towards Christians who espouse beliefs that he was literally taking on.”

Tuttle said the speech was laced with vulgarities and “sexual innuendo not appropriate for this age group.” At one point, he said Savage told the teenagers about how good his partner looked in a speedo.

As the teenagers were walking out, Tuttle said that Savage heckled them and called them “pansy asses.” Fox News

And what did the National Scholastic Press Association and the Journalism Education Association, co-sponsors of the conference, have to say about Mr. Savage’s remarks and behavior?

“We appreciate the level of thoughtfulness and deliberation regarding Dan Savage’s keynote address,” the NSPA wrote. “some audience members who felt hurt by his words and tone decided to leave in the middle of his speech, and to this, we want to make our point very clear: While as a journalist it’s important to be able to listen to speech that offends you, these students and advisers had simply reached their tolerance level for what they were willing to hear.”

Reached their tolerance level.  In other words, the students who walked out on the anti-Christian rants of Dan Savage were the ones with the problem, for it surely couldn’t have been the great gay hero and his offensive and inappropriate remarks to an auditorium full of under-aged school kids.  The teenaged students with their Christian beliefs were the real bullies here and the adult crotch-focused homo at the head of the class was their victim.

You know, instead of simply walking out of the auditorium, perhaps the students should have taken a page from the Left’s handbook on how to box the ears of your enemies and shouted down this hedonism hustler right off of his self-important podium.

Maybe it’s time for us to take off our very bourgeois boxing gloves and put aside our proper political Marquess of Queensberry rules and begin to selectively adopt some of those more aggressive Saul Alinsky tactics.  It’s time to get righteously angry, people.  It’s time to get tough.

Elizabeth Warren: Native American?

Posted on April 28, 2012 by

Is This Woman Native American?

Harvard University Thinks So

A funny thing happened to Elizabeth Warren on her way to snagging a prestigious professorship at Harvard Law School in the mid 1990s.  Magically, this white-on-white middle class lady, who is currently a Democrat candidate for Senator in the state of Massachusetts, suddenly trans-raced into a very statistically suitable Native American minority.  And faster than the academic elite could say hocus-Pocahonis, Ms. Warren found herself ensconced in that coveted Ivy League crimson while Harvard fulfilled their ill-gotten quota.

And that demographic sleight of hand, faithful readers, resulted in what is snidely referred to in the HR Diversity racket as a big time TwoFer—Harvard got to work the diversity dodge by claiming they hired not only a female but a Non-White one at that.  Two boxes checked on the federally forced Affirmative Action form.

On numerous occasions, Warren has claimed that both her maternal grandparents had Cherokee and Delaware Indian ancestry in their gene pool.  But a genealogist at the New England Historical and Genealogical Society sourced Warren’s ancestry on her mother’s side back to her great grandparents and found no trace at all of Native American heritage.  So could Lizzie Legal Eagle possibly be speaking with a family forked tongue here?

Warren’s claim put the candidate in an awkward position as campaign aides last night scrambled but failed to produce documents proving her family lineage. Aides said the tales of Warren’s Cherokee and Delaware tribe ancestors have been passed down through family lore.

The Ivy League law school prominently touted Warren’s Native American background, however, in an effort to bolster their diversity hiring record in the ’90s as the school came under heavy fire for a faculty that was then predominantly white and male.

“Of 71 current Law School professors and assistant professors, 11 are women, five are black, one is Native American, and one is Hispanic.

Sarah Marston, the current spokeswoman at Harvard Law School, said the school has had a change of heart when it comes to discussing Warren’s heritage.

“The Law School’s current policy is to refrain from publicly commenting about the race or ethnicity of individual faculty members,” Marston said in a statement.   Boston Herald

It seems the liberal Left is having a hard time of late in working that racial razzle-dazzle to their political advantage. Tsk, tsk.  Such outrageous minority misrepresentation by a progressively pretentious law school and an academically mobile matron.  Little Lizzie Light Skin is looking less and less senatorial with each passing day.

Donations Pour in for George Zimmerman’s Defense

Posted on April 26, 2012 by

The Hispanic man who has been conveniently labeled by the Democrat media as a WHITE Hispanic, is getting some monetary support from the ordinary Joe and Jane.  Over $200,000 has been donated to George Zimmerman, the man who has been charged with 2nd degree murder for the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

As the race pimps and their media whores continue in their efforts to canonize Mr. Martin while demonizing Mr. Zimmerman, many people who make up the viewing public have had the audacity to actually think for themselves and are actively showing their contempt for the Democrat TV and newspaper elite by donating to the defense of a man caught up in the middle of a media manufactured race-baiting firestorm.

Farewell Intercourse: Egyptian Men and Sex with Dead Wives

Posted on April 26, 2012 by

Ah yes, that liberating Non-Western wave of Middle East renewal so naively referred to as the Arab Spring is now giving birth to Islam’s quaint version of a rip-roaring sexual revolution.  If a new piece of legislation introduced into the Islamic-dominated Egyptian parliament gets passed, husbands living in the laughing-stock land of the Pharaohs will soon be able to have one last goodbye f**k with the corpses of their deceased wives for up to 6 hours after death.  Well, what the heck.  Muslim women certainly get no respect when they’re alive so why not continue to use and abuse them after they’re dead and gone?

Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives – for up to six hours after their death.  The controversial new law is part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament.

It will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14 and the ridding of women’s rights of getting education and employment.   Daily Mail

The only saving grace in this mind-boggling bit of Islamic necrophilia is that many educated Egyptian men and women are simply outraged by the sheer barbaric backwardness of it all.  But the educated classes, those looking to the West for a glimpse of a better future, are not in the driver’s seat here.  Unfortunately for the Egyptian people, their communal bus has shifted full throttle into reverse gear and is headed straight back to that very scary era known as the Middle Ages.

Mitt Romney’s Victory Speech: The Gauntlet is Thrown!

Posted on April 25, 2012 by

Mitt is looking and sounding great.  His victory speech last night in New Hampshire was a powerful preview of just how he’s going to wipe the floor with that Hope & Change flim-flam man. The Democrat media decided not to broadcast Mitt’s speech last night, but they can’t shut out the Mitt Man’s mega message indefinitely—the shift in political momentum is now almost palpable.  We’re gona win this thing!

Janine Turner to Conservative Women: Speak Up, Girlfriends

Posted on April 25, 2012 by

For way too long, conservative women have been giving their liberal counterparts the silent treatment.  How often have we kept our mouths tightly shut in social settings when a political topic is raised for discussion?  How often have we allowed the Lefty viewpoints of our self-righteous liberal friends and associates to go unchallenged?  Too damn often.

Well, Janine Turner, aka Maggie O’Connell of Northern Exposure fame, who will now be providing regular conservative commentary over at PJ Media, has developed the GIRLFRIENDS acronym to help our more timid Republican sisters speak up during those liberal-dominated conversations.

As the Democrat women ramble on about the inequality and wickedness of America — taking no heed that anyone else at the table could possibly disagree with them — the conservative women remain silent. They do not enter the fray because they know the risks. They know that the Democrats, not able to defend their wiles with wisdom, will attack the Republican women’s character. They know that Democrats cannot have a reasonable conversation.

It is now crucial for conservatives to roll up their sleeves and to join the debate. Isolating into the haven of friends who are of the same mind at home, in church, and even on talk radio is no longer an option. Preaching to the choir will not win our country back in 2012.   PJ Media

It’s all about visibility, ladies.  Whether straight or gay, it’s time for all good conservative women to come to the aid of our country.  It’s time to belt up and dig deep and find the personal courage to open our mouths and speak truth to the contemptible diarrhetic cliches pouring forth from the posteriors of liberal apologists.

And Romney Rolls On

Posted on April 24, 2012 by

A clean sweep!  Mitt Romney takes Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware, and the state of New York in the Republican primaries tonight.

Back in New Hampshire when this long drawn out primary process really got under way, the future President of the United States had this to say to us Obama-weary Americans:

Everywhere I go, Americans are tired of being tired, and many of those who are fortunate enough to have a job are working harder for less.  To all of you, I have a simple message: Hold on a little longer.  A better American begins tonight.

Marion Barry: Filipino Nurses Got to Go

Posted on April 24, 2012 by

You just can’t keep a gold ole racist Black man down, especially when he’s propped up by a condescending culture of white progressive panderers. Apparently, Mister Marion Barry of Washington DC, murder capitol of the Western world, isn’t very quick on the political uptake when it comes to learning from previous big-mouthed blunders.  Or perhaps this backward bonehead just instinctively knows that in this divisive back-to-the-future Obama wasteland of ours, bigoted Black men are an important swatch of the Left-wing political patchwork.

In addressing the board members of the University of the District of Columbia, a basically Black public university, Barry castigated these educators for not churning out Black graduates to take all those ‘lucrative’ nursing jobs now being filled by ‘foreign’ Filipino women.

It’s so bad, that if you go to the hospital now, you find a number of immigrants who are nurses, particularly from the Philippines.  And no offense, but let’s grow our own teachers, let’s grow our own nurses — and so that we don’t have to be scrounging around in our community clinics and other kinds of places — having to hire people from somewhere else.   Washington Examiner

Mister Marion better hope he never needs to see the inside of one of those Filipino-infested hospitals, for I’m sure some of those foreign nursing ladies would be real keen to insert a few interesting items into some very intimate places.

Mia Love Wins Utah Primary

Posted on April 24, 2012 by

Conservative Republican Mia Love walked away with the primary win in Utah’s 4th District.  She will now face Democrat Jim Matheson in the Fall.  If Love wins in November, she will become the first Black member of Congress from Utah and the first Black Female Republican to take a seat in Congress.  Go, Mia!

The big headline from this weekend’s Utah Republican convention may have been that Senator Orrin Hatch was forced into a GOP primary against challenger Dan Liljenquist. But perhaps the more surprising development was little known Saratoga Springs mayor Mia Love’s overwhelming victory at the convention in her bid to defeat Utah’s only Democratic member of Congress, Jim Matheson.

Love’s parents immigrated from Haiti to New York City, where she was born. Love eventually moved to Utah, where she is married and has three children. Love was elected mayor of Saratoga Springs in 2010.   Weekly Standard

New York Times Faces the Occupy Mentality

Posted on April 23, 2012 by

Get ready to wet your pants from peals of well-earned laughter.  For over at the New York Times, the progressive bubble of self-importance and pompous entitlement is just about to burst.  The Newspaper Guild, the union representing all those fine upstanding men and women who write and edit the pile of propaganda poop served up each day for the Democrat elite, is in a long drawn out battle with the owners of the Old Lefty Lady over its cushy and unsustainable pension plan.  These people are totally out to lunch (on someone else’s dime, of course).

Occupy the New York Times!

Nobody in the video talks about the changes in the news business that threatens to drive the Times into a deep dive. Nobody talks about the prospect of future significant staff cuts if costs can’t be contained. None of them discuss the incongruity between their own naive sense of entitlement and what is going on in the cities, companies and countries they cover.

They just want the money.   American Interest

Liberal Nuns: Moving Beyond Jesus

Posted on April 22, 2012 by

When a major Catholic conference of American women religious features a keynote speaker who touts the marvelous mental miracle of moving beyond Jesus, wouldn’t you say it was high time for such holier-than-thou harridans to hit the road?  If an American nun can no longer support the essential theological element of the spiritual faith that is supposed to sustain her, then it seems pretty darn clear to me that this twisted sister has ceased to be a true believing Christian let alone a Catholic one.  Golly gee, Sister dear, if your political penchant for social justice is so strong as to push you to give your nunnery nod to abortion, gay marriage, and sterilization, in direct opposition to the very entity for which you claim allegiance, then maybe it’s time to say good-bye to all the Roman righteousness and seek your pious persona elsewhere.  And perhaps in its own apostolic convoluted way, that’s exactly what the Vatican is now telling these American prodigal daughters in Christ.

After a two-year investigation into the doctrinal vagaries of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), the largest association of women religious leaders in the United States, the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith has ordered the LCWR to reform its statutes, practices, and affiliations.  And to make sure the good sisters get back onto the orthodox straight and narrow, the Vatican has appointed Archbishop Peter Sartain of Seattle to oversee the review and revision of the LCWR’s doctrinal mission.

Sartain is to be given authority over the group in five areas, including:

  • Revising LCWR statutes

  • Reviewing LCWR plans and programs

  • Creating new programs for the organization

  • Reviewing and offering guidance on the application of liturgical texts

  • Reviewing LCWR’s affiliations with other organizations, citing specifically NETWORK and the Resource Center for Religious Institutes

You may recall, that the LCWR, along with the NETWORK (yet another liberal distaff setup using Jesus for their social justice agenda), and the Catholic Health Association, eagerly supported ObamaCare, including the federal funding of abortion and sterilization.  Needless to say, the US Catholic bishops were beyond furious.  Hence, the subsequent assessment by a Church hierarchy that finally found the guts to challenge this institutionalized socialist sisterhood.

So, is it lights out for the very liberal LCWR?  Well reportedly, the ladies have been ‘stunned’ by the announced outcome of the Vatican’s assessment and are now determining their next maneuver.  But whatever political ploy they may come up with, there is another more powerful punch hitting the LCWR with the full force of demographic certainty, and that, put simply, is the aging population of its rank and file.

The LCWR is a divinity dinosaur, an aging white-haired matriarchal mammoth lumbering along in the chaotic wake of Vatican II.  The trendy modernization of the 1960s that so attracted the baby boomer bunch with its liberation theology and fierce feminism is driving away new novitiates by the droves.  The average age of nuns living on the liberal side of the canonical aisle is in the 60s and 70s.

But the LCWR isn’t the only national organization of women religious in the United States.  The Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious (CMSWR) was founded in the early 1990s by nuns who were dismayed at the rot of radical feminism spreading through America’s religious orders.  The member organizations of the CMSWR are traditional groups of women religious.  They not only follow more faithfully the teachings of the Catholic Church but they also stress the wearing of religious garb and the importance of shared communal living for their Sisters, two crucial aspects of the religious life that the nuns of the LCWR have tossed aside.  Although a much smaller conclave than the LCWR, the CMSWR is on the grow.  With the average age nationwide for their Sisters standing at 35, their member orders have been very successful at attracting young, dedicated novitiates.

For the most part, these are grim days for Catholic nuns. Convents are closing, nuns are aging and there are relatively few new recruits.  But something startling is happening in Nashville, Tenn.  The Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia are seeing a boom in new young sisters: Twenty-seven joined this year and 90 entered over the past five years.

The average of new entrants here is 23.  And overall, the average age of the Nashville Dominicans is 36 — four decades younger than the average nun nationwide.

Unlike many older sisters in previous generations, who wear street clothes and live alone, the Nashville Dominicans wear traditional habits and adhere to a strict life of prayer, teaching and silence.

Van Acker, who’s 23, says her generation is hungry for absolute truth and tradition — ideals they found in the messages of Pope John Paul II.

“Our generation is thirsting for orthodoxy,” she says. “And I know it because I’ve seen it in university settings. I’ve seen how young people love John Paul II not only because he was a nice-looking old man and he gave great hugs or something — but because what he spoke and wrote was the truth and it spoke to their hearts.”   NPR

Thirsting for orthodoxy.  Yes, the traditional habit is indeed the new radical.  And the old has just become the revolutionary.

NOW Starts ‘Enough Rush’ Campaign

Posted on April 22, 2012 by

The National Organization for Womyn is desperately in need of money.  Even as their membership continues to shrivel unto divisive Democrat dust, and even as their political and social influence continues to fade into that jaded sunset of a previous generation’s glory days, the NOW crowd is desperately seeking a lot of cash and credit.  Yes, the gilded groupies of Bill Clinton’s Crotch Chronicles are groveling for some big time booty.

The Enough Rush Campaign is the latest effort by these aging Carrie Nation know-it-alls to fill their depleted coffers with the ever readies.  Using the silly Sandra Fluke faux pas as the rally round the flag outcry for their trumped-up war against women, NOW hopes to raise their ailing entity from the smoldering ashes of their very own over-heated hypocrisy.

Or as I tried to say over at the Huffington Post where apparently my non-guarded and guileful comments are no longer eagerly awaited:

The National Organization for Left-wing Democrat women.  An outfit that thinks it speaks for all woman-kind across our country.  Because after all, we’re not individuals anymore, but merely useful identity groups full of members who must think the same thoughts and hold the same opinions. The Borg Progressive Collective.

Wake up.  Limbaugh is here to stay.

This message has been brought to you by a proud non-conformist member of the lesbian community.

We will NOT be assimilated!

The Democrat Giggle Girls are a bit late on the uptake with this past tense marketing maneuver.  The Limbaugh kerfuffle lasted all of a nanosecond in the life cycle of manufactured news.   A day late and a dollar short, as my good-hearted, mostly stay-at-home Mom used to say.

Earth Day: May the Farce Be With You

Posted on April 21, 2012 by

As the oh so holy hordes of sanctimonious save-the-planet true believers gather together to celebrate the sacramental fecundity of our blessed Gaia’s wondrous womb, let us shift our starry-eyed progressive gaze just a little to the Left of Eden where the flesh and blood daughters of Mother Earth’s labor face the forcibly aborted fruits of their maternal behavior.

Save the Planet, Exterminate the People!

And just a little reminder: The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) has been a decades long supporter of China’s brutal one-child policy.  In fact, the Chinese enforcer agency that drags women off to face forced abortions and sterilizations is a proud member of IPPF.

Support Women’s Rights Without Frontiers.

Chug-a-Lugging Coca-Cola Kills Woman

Posted on April 21, 2012 by

A 30-year old woman in New Zealand died of a heart attack brought on by her incessant craving for Coke.  It seems that Natasha Harris drank two quarts of Coca-Cola daily, and that, along with her smoking habit and minimalist diet, did her in.  At the inquest investigating this bizarre death, the coroner had this to say:

Dr Dan Mornin testified at an inquest on Thursday that Harris probably suffered from hypokalemia, or low potassium, which he thinks was caused by her excessive consumption of Coke and overall poor nutrition.  Symptoms of hypokalemia can include abnormal heart rhythms.  Mornin said toxic levels of caffeine, a stimulant found in cola, also may have contributed to her death.  Guardian

How sad that many of us in this modern age of pointless stimulation find ourselves addicted to substances and behaviors that can take such a damaging toll on our physical health and psychic well-being.  And caffeine is such an insidious seducer.  I’ve generally kicked that bad old coffee habit but it took several rounds of crippling withdrawal migraines before I saw the light and slowly weened myself away from that tantalizing temptress.  But there are times, yes oh yes, there are times, when I positively yearn for a steaming cup of full-bodied java from WaWa.  WaWa is a convenience store chain in our area and darned if they don’t brew the absolute best cup of down-home diner coffee you’ll ever drink.  Forget all those sissy and overpriced Starbuck’s concoctions.  WaWa is the real thing.  Gee, I’m starting to sound like a Coke commercial.

Oh well, let me drag myself into the kitchen and boil up some water and pour out a mug of good-for-me green tea.  Yeah, that will certainly hit the spot.  Oh, WaWa, I do miss you.  Heck, there’s one only a short drive away….it would only be just one cup of coffee….surely I can weather the downside effects of just one cup….just one cup….

Green Jobs: It’s A-Happening, Man!

Posted on April 20, 2012 by

Get out your resumes, boys and girls, and get ready to turn on and tune in to the psychedelic Green Jobs Fantasy Fare.  It’s A-Happening, man!  Unemployed?  Not to worry.  Green Jobs will magically modify that sinking gut, no-pay-day dilemma.  Got to earn your keep but can’t stand the capitalist creeps?  Well, be of good cheer my socialist buddies, for the government Green gimmick will pay big bucks all siphoned from the toil of tax-paying foils.

A Green Jobs Primer

To be a liberal is to believe in political unicorns of one stripe or another.

Teacher Mad She Can’t Retire at 47

Posted on April 19, 2012 by

The Michigan Education Associate (MEA) is fighting a new state senate bill that would require public employees to pay at least 5% of their compensation to their retirement fund.  And of course that looming mandate has the public school teachers in the state of Michigan angrily up in arms.

The MEA and its members are so embedded in their entitlement bubble that it hasn’t dawned on these public school bloodsuckers that placing the sorry saga of teacher Terri List on their website decrying the fact that now she won’t be able to retire at the age of 47 just might be pathetically bad PR for their profession.  You see, under the new Michigan state senate bill, healthcare benefits won’t be made available to state retirees until the age of 60.  So the dilettante day dreams of poor deprived Terry List, who thought she would be laying on a beach somewhere with a comfortable taxpayer-provided pension and fully paid healthcare coverage whiling away her pre-menopausal middle age, have all gone up in smoke.  Oh, the injustice of it all!

Here’s a great response to this unbelievably arrogant mindset of the public employee parasite provided by Tim Bos over at Michigan Capitol Confidential:

Public education in America has been a closed and rigged system for decades, and we’re witnessing the resulting cries of victimhood and claims of attacks targeted solely on teachers.

Tenure? Where else is that used as an effective labor relations concept? Guaranteed retirement income for life without contributing a penny towards it? Step-pay increases because you continue going to school?  Annual salaries for working 9 months a year while getting the best 3 months of the year off? Totally free health insurance with benefits that are head and shoulders above anything else available in the state, which BTW, was provided by a company owned by the MEA and almost always prevented sharing of claims history to enable a competitive quote from other carriers.  That’s fair?

And in exchange for that, we received a terribly inadequate education for our children that was heavily laced with socialist indoctrination and inept educators at arbitrarily inflated costs. Get that woman away from our kids.  She’s a menace.
