Elementary School Bans Valentine’s Day Cards And Candy Over “Cultural Equality Issues”
by Tammy on February 14, 2013Oh yeah, and because of federal candy regulations. Not. Kidding. Via Todd Starnes at Fox News. Boys and girls at a Massachusetts elementary school have been banned from bringing Valentine’s Day candy or cards over cultural equality issues and federal guidelines regulating candy. Parents of students at Salemwood Elementary School in Malden, Mass, received a letter informing them of the policy – that impacts not just Valentine’s Day – but all holidays. “We have many different nationalities, cultures and languages spoken,” Principal Carol Keenan told Fox News. “Because of that we don’t honor specific holidays.” Keenan said she did not want some students feeling left out. “This is done with all good intentions – to have all students be accepted,...

High School Hockey Teams Told to Dump National Anthem
by Tammy on November 12, 2012Typical. It never ends, so we must never quit. Via Todd Starnes. Nearly 200 high school hockey teams in Pennsylvania have been advised to eliminate the national anthem because it takes too much time to perform and costs too much money. “We are recommending the national anthem not be played or sung or whatever it is,” Ed Sam, commissioner of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Hockey League told Fox News. “It has absolutely nothing to do with patriotism at all. That’s the furthest thing from the truth.” Schools were notified of the directive in an email from the PIHL. He said teams are only allotted a certain amount of time to play matches. Sam also said it had to do with economics....

State Dept Reverses, Will Keep “Mother, Father” on Passports
by Tammy on January 9, 2011Good. The political correctness of LibProgs stopped (a bit) but only made possible by the conservative midterm victory. Passport change will be inclusive In a bid to forestall a backlash from congressional conservatives, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has ordered the State Department to amend a bureaucratic change that would have eliminated the titles “mother” and “father” in favor of the gender-neutral term “parent” in passport applications and other documents. The State Department said Saturday that Clinton had instructed the department to retain “mother” and “father” in passport applications as well as in a form known as a “Consular Report of Birth Abroad” that U.S. embassies use to document the birth of a child to expatriate Americans. It said...

Juan Williams Rips NPR
by Pat_S on January 6, 2011A post by Pat The Left will probably consider Juan Williams’ remarks today on Fox as evidence that he does need a psychiatrist. He was asked about the resignation of Ellen Weiss, the NPR executive who fired Williams over voicing his concerns seeing Muslims on airplanes. It [NPR] has become very ingrown if not incestuous in terms of their perspective. She had executioner’s knife for anybody who didn’t abide by her way of thinking. I think she represented an ingrown culture in that institution that’s not open to not only different ways of thinking, but angry at the fact that Ii would even talk or be on Fox, angry at the fact that people have different perspectives and a conservative...

Saudi Fatwas–Not What You Say But Your Right to Say It
by Pat_S on August 26, 2010A post by Pat You can’t be any ordinary cleric to issue fatwas in Saudi Arabia. Sheik Youssef al-Ahmed issued a fatwa against women working as cashiers and got in trouble for it. Well, not precisely for the fatwa itself. He’s in trouble for not having proper authorization to issue it. Saudi royalty decreed only senior clerics can make fatwas in an effort to clamp down on “any topic involving strange or obsolete views”. That can’t be because senior clerics are so much wiser or enlightened. A couple of years ago a senior cleric wanted Saudi women to have only one eye visible. Saudi women must cover one eye

Commissar Pelosi Wants Investigation Into Mosque Opposition Funding
by Pat_S on August 18, 2010A post by Pat This is not your founding fathers’ America. The Democrats believe in Constitutional rights only when it’s convenient for their agenda. The President lectures Americans about the freedom of religion to build a mosque while the Speaker of the House steps all over the Constitution to harass opponents of the construction. Why? She thinks the opposition may be politically based. Nancy Pelosi, house speaker, wants investigation into Ground Zero mosque opposition funding Audio here “Everybody respects the right of people in our country to express their religious beliefs on their property.” “There is no question there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some. I join those who have called for looking into...

Post-Mortem: The Duke Rape Case

Muslim Poison Attempt at Fort Jackson?
by Tammy on February 18, 2010Apparently there is enough evidence for the Army to be “investigating” an alleged attempt by (maybe possibly) Muslim soldiers to poison the food supply of their fellow soldiers, but not enough evidence to say there is, uh, any evidence. Kinda like how John Brennan noted after the Christmas Day bomber attempt that there have been no terrorist attacks on US soil. Interesting how an adviser to the president somehow forgot about the murder of Private Long by an Islamist and, of course, the mass murder horror at Ft. Hood. Army Investigates Alleged Attempt by Soldiers to Poison Food at Fort Jackson The U.S. Army is investigating allegations that soldiers were attempting to poison the food supply at Fort Jackson in...

When Religion is a Punch Line
by Pat_S on February 4, 2010A post by Pat Don’t have a dispute with a religious person (shhh! Muslim) if you’re standing in a line in Britain. Shamso Miah punched another bank customer twice when they argued over who was next in line. Miah wound up in court but the judge, Tony Blair’s wife, decided to suspend his prison sentence. “You are a religious man and you know this is not acceptable behaviour.” Miah went to the bank directly from a mosque. An atheist group filed suit. I guess they would like to punch people once in awhile too. Complaint after Cherie Booth spares religious man jail Shamso Miah, 25, of Redbridge, east London, broke a man’s jaw following a row in a bank queue....

The Budget From Skull Cave
by Pat_S on January 30, 2010A post by Pat Skull Cave was The Phantom’s base Unlike many fictional costumed heroes, the Phantom does not have supernatural powers of any kind, but relies on his strength, intellect and reputation of being an immortal ghost to defeat his opponents. He is protected at home in large part by the Bandar pygmies, or “Poison-People”, whose fearsome reputation is enough to keep the uninvited out of his jungle. PC disclaimer: The cartoon character The Phantom just popped into my head when I read the following article. PC conditioning immediately kicked in cautioning me not to connect Obama to The Phantom. Even though The Phantom is an heroic figure, he lived in a jungle. In Africa. That’s problematic nowadays. The...

Urkel: It’s Everyone’s Fault But His
by Tammy on January 5, 2010Pwoor wittle Barewee, no one doing their job but him! I guess when he can’t Blame Bush he’ll blame everyone else. Security Review Reveals Failure to ‘Connect the Dots’ President Obama demanded answers, Tuesday, on why a suspected terrorists was allowed onboard a flight bound for the U.S., despite previous warning signs that he was planning an attack. After meeting with his security team, Obama said the intelligence community “failed to connect the dots” leading up to the Christmas day terror plot. The administration has since increased security, but the president plans to hold those behind the mistakes accountable. “I will not tolerate it,” he said. Dumb Bastard.

The Middle View on Climate Change
by Pat_S on December 10, 2009A post by Pat You may have seen this video before. It’s been around for awhile, but this is a good time to watch once again. Bob Carter, noted critic of climate change alarmism, says we must acknowledge that human activity has an effect on local climates, in some cases warming, in others, cooling. The case for global effects is greatly overstated by the alarmists. CO2 is a minor green house gas and will affect warming, but doubling CO2 from pre-industrial times will result in only a one degree warming. Most of that effect has already occurred. It is a waste of money to impose draconian limits on emissions and causes unnecessary harm to economies. Scientists are so intimidated against...

Hate Studies — Orwellian New Academic Field
by Pat_S on November 18, 2009A post by Pat The smart people are going to study and define hate then teach the kids how to be agents for social change. What could go wrong? Political Correctness was an amusing loony left notion in the beginning, giving male names to hurricanes, spelling “woman” “womin”, quirky things like that. It got seriously irritating when we had to drop Christmas for The Winter Festival, but PC kept rolling along. It continued getting worse over the years while we all learned to self-censor our thoughts and actions to the point of getting 13 people killed at Fort Hood. Sane people think it’s finally time to pull back from PC. The radicals think it’s time to kick it up a...

Shocked In Shockoe Bottom
by Pat_S on September 30, 2009A post by Pat Angry activists gathered outside a Richmond, Virginia strip club decrying abomination! and sounding alarm over the deteriorating standards in America. Prudish church ladies? No. It was the NAACP. The self-described libertarian owner of Club Velvet, Mr. Samuel J.T. Moore III, had unfurled an Obama as The Joker banner outside his building. “This country is going to hell in a handbag,“ Moore said, “and the current administration is making things irreversibly worse.“ Mr. Moore is not the ideal champion of liberty. Moore’s club is awaiting a state Alcoholic Beverage Control hearing on alleged violations. Earlier this year Moore was convicted of three misdemeanor charges related to having sex with a minor and another woman at his apartment...
