Barbie’s New Look, Some Call It S&M Barbie

Ya know, some people just have too much time on their hands! They also have too high an opinion of their opinions! And while I’d never want to step on anyone’s first amendment rights, the articles I just read make me have a really dim view of Christians. This too belongs in the realm of the ridiculous!

Too Sexy Barbie?

When I was growing up Barbies were one of the few girl dolls out there. There were a ton of baby dolls, G.I Joes and other boy action figures, but no other girl doll you could really dress up and play house with. However, she had boobs and a body no girl or woman could compete with and we never tried to. We all knew she was unreal, just a doll, but it seems that today SOMEONE is gonna make us listen to their prudish, antiquated opinions no matter what! It was some Christian opinion that got Barbie’s figure trimmed, someone took exception to it and told us all it gave girls an unreal expectation for themselves. Wrong, that was living around MEN! But fine, then you will get my opinion too!

In the two articles I’ve read about this one, they are calling it an S&M Barbie and a bondage Barbie! OMG, do you people have ANYTHING better to do? For myself, I see nothing S&M or bondage related to this doll. It’s a fricking Doll people! If I see anything, it might be a biker chick, but that’s about all. PALEEZE get your minds out of the gutters!

I swear, Christians have so much pompous moral high ground it is a wonder they don’t get their noses stuck on something with it way up there in the air! This stuff is in fashion right now and if you have problems with it you really aught to go stick your head in the sand somewhere. It is thinking that clothing equals sex that has gotten so many young and teen girls raped. It is the males in this society that can’t deal with sex normally and have to take it out on children that are sick and twisted, not some poor doll! You want a moral high ground cause? Teach these young men that women and girls are not their punching bags, that they aren’t there to be abused and coerced into sexual behavior before they are ready.

Honestly, for a sect of people that can sin all they want to Monday through Saturday and get absolved on Sunday you are a bunch of hypocrites. I both listen AND watch how you say one thing but so much more often do the opposite. Christians are the least charitable group of people I’ve ever seen. They do more to break the 10 commandments than they have ever done to follow them but yell at the rest of the world that we are evil sinners! IT IS A DOLL! It neither promotes, nor advocates, promiscuity, nor sexual behavior that is inappropriate in children. Only adults have thoughts like these!

Bondage Barbie? “S&M” doll stirs controversy

Barbie brouhaha: The Black Canary Barbie is raising eyebrows nationwide.

What’s the latest time-wasting nontroversy to hit the Internet? Hint — it has to do with an iconic childhood figure, some fishnets and a bit of “Won’t someone please think of the children?” hysteria.
The Black Canary Barbie — or, as Fox News and Christian Voice are referring to it — S&M Barbie is not without haters.

<Rolls eyes here> Some people simply have too much time on their hands. How come they don’t take the moral high ground when it comes to the abuses of the bush administration, the defilement of our Constitution, and a morally bankrupted Congress? Why take it out on a silly doll? Cuz that is safe? Easier? Get a life!

S&M Barbie lashed by public

BARBIE’S new S&M look has whipped up a storm – with protesters dubbing it “filth”.

The doll’s image is transformed with kinky fishnets, motorcycle jacket, black gloves and boots.

Makers Mattel say Black Canary Barbie, out in September, is based on a DC comic superhero of the same name.

But religious group Christian Voice said: “Barbie has always been on the tarty side and this is taking it too far.

A children’s doll in sexually suggestive clothing is irresponsible – it’s filth.”

You tell me what child is going to be suggestible to sexual advances just because she has a Barbie that looks like this one? Only an adult would think this way. No child would. Certainly not one who was still playing with Barbie dolls anyway.

The Black Canary. Ed Benes, artist

This is a picture of the original Black Canary. As I said, it is more biker babe than S&M. I fail to see a whip attached to the Canary Barbie either. So, Christian Voice, please get your heads out of the gutter. Obviously you need to work on yourselves before you start spouting off about other people or dolls. If it wasn’t for groups like yours, the rest of the world might have missed this Barbie all together. Now, thanks to you, no doubt she will be very popular!

The Wikipedia image about The Black Canary doesn’t show the boots, but everything else about Barbie mimics this drawing to a tee. It is a comic book character. What is wrong with you people? No doubt you are those that believe sex is only to procreate. Well, opinions are like other parts of the body, everyone has one or more…

Black Canary is a fictional character, a DC Comics superheroine. Created by writer Robert Kanigher and artist Carmine Infantino, the character first appeared in Flash Comics #86 (August 1947).

Black Canary is noted for her martial-arts skills and her “Canary Cry” – a high powered, sonic scream with the ability to shatter objects and incapacitate villains. Among the first generation of superheroes, she was a member of the Justice Society of America, the first superhero team to appear in comic books.

In the 1980s, the character’s history was rewritten to make her two entities: Dinah Drake Lance, who took part in Golden Age adventures and married Gotham City detective Larry Lance, and their daughter Dinah Laurel Lance, who has appeared in modern stories.

The combination of the Black Canary’s courage, fighting prowess, and her sex appeal (accentuated by her characteristic fishnet stockings) has resulted in her being referred to as “The Blonde Bombshell.”

You can see the DC Comics version of this same doll HERE:

So, it seems to me a pretty pathetic commentary on the part of this Christian Voice (in the UK) that they have to open their mouths about a cartoon heroine! Give us a break you idiots! With all the issues facing America and the UK today, do you REALLY think this one MIGHT be a tad bit over the top? That it JUST MIGHT BE INFANTILE of you to proclaim such adult nonsense for children? What are you teaching YOUR children that the rest of us have to worry about ours hearing this kind of crap from you??? Here is the Christian Voice in the USA.

I honestly do not understand why the few should decide for the many what is and is not “Good.” And with all the Christians in DC in government, I’m thinking about change, change from Christianity to something else. Maybe, they would actually get something done besides destroy our founding documents, (the Constitution and Amendments), and ignoring the Will of We the People! I haven’t seen any one in Congress that isn’t Christian yet, but those people seem to know exactly how to take the most and give the least.

I have my own definition of filth. Filth is a government that lies to We the People. Filth is an administration that thinks it is OK to spy on We the People without a warrant, violating our 1st and 4th amendment rights. Filth is an administration that tortures people and ignores the Geneva Convention and other treaty documents the United States agreed to that stand against torture. Filth is an administration and a Congress that pass laws against the very people they are supposed to represent! That is MY definition of filth.

And finally, filth as defined by me, is when some Christian advocacy group takes a little girl’s super-hero, one of the few female super-heroes there are, and makes her a product of their sexual fantasies! That is sick, twisted, and WRONG! There aren’t enough heroes for little girls, get your minds out of the gutters and let them enjoy one, The Black Canary.

George Carlin’s Advice On Aging

George Carlin has always been one of my favorite people. He had some amazing views on life, on people, on our funny ways, and never took anything too serious. George Carlin will be deeply missed. If bush was a fraction of the man George Carlin has been, THIS country would be in GREAT shape!

For those of you having problems reading this text, please place your cursor over the text and hold down the control key on your keyboard, (CTRL), and with the wheel of your mouse, roll the wheel towards yourself. This will increase the text size.

I had no idea that George Carlin had reached the age he had. And for all that he did age, he never seemed to. George Carlin was 71 when he left us. For me, he will always be young and vibrant and full of all those things you aren’t supposed to be able to get away with. I loved George Carlin, loved what he portrayed to us, loved how he presented it, and will truly miss being able to see him again.

And while George Carlin may have seemed old to those young people out there, to my generation he will always be, other… He never seemed to age for us even though we all know the years pass.

Here is a bit of George Carlin’s wisdom:

George Carlin on age

George Carlin’s Views on Aging

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids? If you’re less than 10 years old, you’re so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
‘How old are you?’ ‘I’m four and a half!’ You’re never thirty-six and a half. You’re four and a half, going on five! That’s the key

You get into your teens, now they can’t hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.
‘How old are you?’ ‘I’m gonna be 16!’ You could be 13, but hey, you’re gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life .. . You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw himout. There’s no fun now, you’re Just a sour-dumpling. What’s wrong? What’s changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you’re PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it’s all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn’t think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30,

PUSH 40, REACH 50, and MAKE it to 60.

You’ve built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it’s a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80’s and everyday is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn’t end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; ‘I Was JUST 92.’

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. ‘I’m 100 and a half!’
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!

HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay ‘them.’

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. ‘An idle mind is the devil’s workshop.’ And the devil’s name is Alzheimer’s.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud.Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure,grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love,whether it’s family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don’t take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10.Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

George Carlin always knew exactly what the right thing to say was to make the most out of his point. Maybe not the politically correct thing, but the exact right thing. I view anything that is politically correct as being a form of censorship. And I refuse to be censored! They can arrest me, they can shut me down, but so long as one scrap of the Constitution remains I will continue to speak my mind and not worry about being politically correct.

When he died, I had wanted to do a post about him, but there is so much that he has done that it was impossible for me to decide which one I liked best. I loved them all. So, when a friend sent me this in an email, I thought, how perfect can that be? Everyone worries about age and aging!

Rest in peace George. You will be sorely missed.

Big Pharma Targets Children

Not only are statins known to be a scam, but now Big Pharma wants to get kids, yours and mine, on these statins too. Let’s just make the whole country full of medically disabled Americans. We’ll start when they are children, before their bodies have a chance to grow strong, before the muscles mature, before the bones mature, before the brain fully forms, just so we can guarantee that they will be harmed for life and need medical care for the rest of their days. That sounds like the thinking of Big Pharma. Are you going to allow this to happen to your child?

For those of you having problems reading this text, please place your cursor over the text and hold down the control key on your keyboard, (CTRL), and with the wheel of your mouse, roll the wheel towards yourself. This will increase the text size.

Big Pharma is out to empty your pockets, that is all they care about. They don’t care that their drugs don’t work or that some do more harm than good, they just want your money and they are willing to manufacture diseases, lower standards and pressure doctors into getting them what they want, new markets for their drugs. If you listen to them, your child will be harmed long before they are able to grow strong and healthy.

First, you need to understand what Cholesterol is in order to make an informed decision on what to do about it. There are differing points of view, and quite frankly, I’m going to discount most doctors since they don’t do the research and only listen to the pharmaceutical companies, (Big Pharma). Most doctors receive kick-backs from Big Pharma to push their drugs on people. That’s how so many *new diseases* suddenly spring up that didn’t exist when baby-boomers were growing up! HEAVENS! How did they survive?!?!?!

From The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics we get this tidbit:

For decades, enormous human and financial resources have been wasted on the cholesterol campaign, more promising research areas have been neglected, producers and manufacturers of animal food all over the world have suffered economically, and millions of healthy people have been frightened and badgered into eating a tedious and flavorless diet or into taking potentially dangerous drugs for the rest of their lives. As the scientific evidence in support of the cholesterol campaign is non-existent, we consider it important to stop it as soon as possible.

The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics (THINCS) is a steadily growing group of scientists, physicians, other academicians and science writers from various countries. Members of this group represent different views about the causation of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, some of them are in conflict with others, but this is a normal part of science. What we all oppose is that animal fat and high cholesterol play a role. The aim with this website is to inform our colleagues and the public that this idea is not supported by scientific evidence; in fact, for many years a huge number of scientific studies have directly contradicted it.

An excellent layman’s article was written by Annemarie Colbin, C.H.E.S. It takes great pains to explain what HDL, LDL, VLDL, and one more I can’t seem to remember now, are. If you or your child has been recommended for cholesterol lowering drugs, this article is for you! It is so good I won’t be able to cut it down or snip it.

Before I get to the article though, it is also important to note that the *ideal numbers* for cholesterol have been consistently going down since 1983. Just like the fat nannies, the cholesterol nannies want it lower, and lower, and lower, till we are all very sick individuals. Cholesterol is vital to our bodies and its systems. Mess with it at your peril!!!

Have you been told your cholesterol is too high? And has it been recommended that you take one of the cholesterol lowering drugs? Before you let yourself be scared into submission, let me show you a little more about the whole picture.

Since the 1950’s, it has been assumed that cholesterol is the main culprit behind atherosclerosis, the thickening plaque lining the arteries that might presage a heart attack. It was therefore recommended that blood levels of cholesterol be lowered, and the recommended numbers themselves kept going down, According to Lynn Payer, in her book Medicine and Culture, the median total cholesterol range for initiating drug therapy was 340 to 359 mg/dl in 1983, 300 to 319 in 1986, 240 to 259 in 1990, and that same year dietary therapy was instituted at levels of 200 to 219 mg/dl total serum cholesterol.

Later on it was found that cholesterol could be split into different sized particles carrying different densities of lipids (fats) and protein. These were named lipoproteins, and they are compounds that have an exterior coating of protein covering a lipid core, which makes them water soluble. They contain three kind of lipids: cholesterol, phospholipids, and triglycerides, plus proteins. High density lipoprotein (HDL) is smaller in size, and contains about half protein, which makes it more dense. Low density lipoprotein (LDL), somewhat larger, is lower in protein and higher in cholesterol. They became known, respectively, as the “good” and the “bad” cholesterol, because elevated levels of the latter, and low levels of the former, were found to be associated with more atherosclerosis. Later on additional lipoproteins were found. Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) is larger than the LDL, containing more than half triglycerides with very little protein. The chylomicrons are very large compared to the HDL, and are composed of more than 80% triglycerides, with a little cholesterol and phospholipid and maybe 1% protein.

So this is all well and good. We’re supposed to have this or that amount of these in the bloodstream, with this or that proportion, so as to prevent the dreaded heart disease. But what are these particles really about? Where do they come from? What is their function, other than what we’re constantly being told, that they gum up the works?

You know, nature is very smart, and our bodies are super smart. They very carefully orchestrate their 75 – 80 trillion cells to work in very harmonious fashion so as to keep us alive. All the cells talk to each other, and there are always good reason why things are a certain way, in terms of survival of the bodymind. The fats in our bloodstream are there for a perfectly good reason. Let’s take a good look at the roles of cholesterol.

Cholesterol is classified as a lipid, although the dictionary definition is “a fat-soluble steroid alcohol.” There are two sources for cholesterol: endogenous (made by the body itself) and exogenous (consumed and found in foods). It is manufactured by the liver of all warm-blooded animals, and in humans it is a crucial component of several body structures and functions. The human liver manufactures between 800 and 1500 mg of cholesterol daily, so the endogenous contribution to total cholesterol is considerable.

• Cholesterol has many important roles in the body.
  
• One of its functions is to lubricate the blood vessels to prevent damage to their walls by the vigorously rushing bloodstream.
  
• It is a major component of cell membranes, including all the membranes around all the organelles inside the cells, such as the mitochondria. It keeps these membranes with the right amount of both rigidity and flexibility. About 90% of the body’s total cholesterol resides in the cells.
  
• In addition, it helps build hormones (including estrogen, testosterone, and the stress hormone cortisol), bile acids, and Vitamin D.
  
• It affects the bones, because cholesterol in the skin is the precursor for Vitamin D, and without that nutrient the bones cannot obtain the calcium they need.
  
• Stress has been shown to temporarily increase cholesterol, as it makes up the stress hormones. Cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, in his book Heartbreak and Heart Disease, recounts how his cholesterol rose from 180 mg/dl to 240 mg/dl in about 6 hours, after a very stressful cardiac surgery he performed – even though he had not eaten in about 6 hours.

When we eat, the fats in our meal get broken down into fatty acids, and after they pass through the intestinal wall, they are picked up by the chylomicrons, go into the lymphatic system and straight into the blood, bypassing the liver. Why would they do such a thing? Everything else we eat goes to the liver first, but not the fats. The chylomicrons are carried by the blood all around the body, and act like delivery trucks, dropping off lipids at all the cells that require them, to provide energy, insulate against temperature extremes, protect against shock, maintaining the cell membranes, and building various compounds such as hormones. As they drop off their cargo, these particles get smaller and smaller, and after 14 hours only a few bits and pieces remain, which are picked up by the liver and recycled.

Meanwhile, the liver makes cholesterol, triglycerides, and other fatty acids, and packages them with proteins as VLDL, sending these also out as delivery trucks with the materials that the cells need. As the VLDL’s lose triglycerides, they become LDL’s, proportionately higher in cholesterol, which keep on traveling around bringing their content to the heart muscle, the fat stores, the mammary glands, the endocrine glands, and such, which use these lipids to build or repair their membranes, make hormones, or store them for energy and later use. Our smart liver then makes HDL which acts as a cleaning crew, and is sent out to pick up unused cholesterol from the cells back to the liver for cleanup or recycling.

It becomes obvious that cholesterol is an essential substance for proper functioning. The more cholesterol is consumed, the less is made by the liver. Conversely, the less consumed, the more is made. Not only that, the more consumed, the less is absorbed. When people go on a high-protein diet, their cholesterol levels often go down. On the other hand, those who go on a low fat, high carbohydrate diet find their VLDL and triglycerides going up and their HDL going down, the opposite of what they would want according to the common medical wisdom. But the body wisdom is not to be dismissed – this reaction could mean that there is not enough cholesterol for the body’s needs, and so the body is conserving what it has.

So there you have it. A very sane and sensible system. Why would you want to use drugs to mess with it? The recommended blood values for cholesterol keep being lowered by the medical/pharmaceutical establishment. One scientist said that cholesterol-lowering drugs should be put in the water! I cannot imagine anything more foolish. The lowering of cholesterol alone would appear to be an unwise approach, considering that the drugs are known to cause liver toxicity and muscle weakness, peripheral neuropathy and even TGA, or transient global amnesia, a complete loss of memory for a short time.

There is controversy about the dangers of cholesterol. The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics is a coalition of scientists that disagree with the theory that cholesterol causes heart disease. (www.thincs.org) Uffe Ravnskov, a Swedish physician and researcher, in his book The Cholesterol Myths: Exposing the Fallacy that Saturated Fat and Cholesterol Cause Heart Disease, charges that the majority of the review studies that support the cholesterol-heart disease association are seriously biased, that they ignore data that contradict the theory, and that they are written by researchers who get their major funding from pharmaceutical companies.

If “high cholesterol” of any variety is present with other symptoms of ill health, then lifestyle changes are in order to reduce the risk of disease. Specifically, one would do well to
1) increase noticeably the intake of fresh vegetables, salads, fruits, high-fiber whole grains and beans
2) lower or eliminate all kinds of added sugars and refined grain products
3) keep one’s weight within a healthy range
4) have a reasonable amount of regular physical activity every day
5) and attend to one’s emotional health and wellbeing.

All these will contribute to better health and to the reduction of heart disease risk

Still think your kids need those Cholesterol lowering drug therapies? Na, neither do I! Tell the drug industry they can’t have your money. Tell your doctor to do his or her own research on these drugs too. And while you are at it, tell Big Pharma to KYA!

I can imagine they came up with this scam since most adults are now aware of the fact that statins don’t do a darn thing for lowering cholesterol, just like Boneva and other bone medicines don’t do a damn thing for bones, except inflame them and cause major problems. But if Big Pharma can scam some unsuspecting soul out of their hard earned cash, they will do it. They have no soul, only deep pockets!

It would be nice if the FDA would do their jobs and stop these Big Pharma criminals, but they won’t, they are too heavily in the pay of Big Pharma to do anything on the moral high ground. The FDA is flat out broken. They couldn’t tell a good drug from a bad one if their lives depended on it.

It is left up to Americans to learn and stay informed. To not be intimidated by doctors who used to be held in such high esteem in our lives. We need to quit letting them give us drugs that do not work and cost us money in the hopes they know what they are talking about. Doctors have become too dependent on Big Pharma to tell them what works for what, not what cures real disorders.

David Olofson Update 7-11-08

A few days ago I received an email from David Olofson’s father. It was right after they had taken David in to Stand Stone federal prison. I’ve been waiting for an update to some information, namely where we could send donations for David Olofson, but since I haven’t received any to date, I thought I’d better get this posted and will continue to wait and see what happens.

For those of you having problems reading this text, please place your cursor over the text and hold down the control key on your keyboard, (CTRL), and with the wheel of your mouse, roll the wheel towards yourself. This will increase the text size.

OK, it isn’t the AR15, but I like the picture just the same…

Here is the email I received:

July 4

Yesterday was the hardest day of our lives, writing this, right now seems to be the second. We drove David, along with Larry Pratt of GOA, to the Sandstone institution yesterday. Larry’s presence, words of wisdom and comfort were invaluable. We would be faring a lot worse today if it would have not been for him – thank you Larry from the bottom of our hearts. We would ask all of you, if you can, to please support GOA in the defense of David for this unthinkable miscarriage of injustice. This conviction MUST be righted for ALL Americans, for David, and for the 2^nd Amendment of America’s Constitution. With this present ruling, anyone who owns a firearm can be made guilty of owning a machine gun.

We just received a call from David early this AM. He is doing fine, so far. He did admit that he under estimated how badly all the people there are being gouged for everything they must buy. The $200 he took with him will not get him very far. I told him we would see the he gets his allotment of $300 for every mo. Please DO NOT send him any money. We will talk to a few people on how to handle that subject, and if there is something you all can do we will pass that information on. As an example David indicated he is getting a tooth ache and a small bottle, 24 pills, of ibuprofen cost him $7.

The few people he has talked to indicated that they are treated well - to which we replied: follow your new counsel’s advice. And we know his new representation has HIS best interests in mind, as opposed to his prior.

He did ask that we pass on his address for everyone, and please pass it on so everyone who wants to can write him:

David R. Olofson

08632089-K1

Federal Correctional Institute

PO Box 1000

Sandstone, MN 55072

David also indicated that there is no e-mail, so snail mail is the only option.

We hope everyone has a happier 4^th, and please keep David in your prayers.

Dave & Pat Olofson

Yes, this is very short I realize, but there has been nothing else. Nor do I know where else to turn to for news now that David himself is locked up. I’ll be writing him and will post what I can, but realize that snail mail takes time and I’m not exactly next door to him either.

I am in a quandary on certain issues. I do not want to make things harder for David Olofson by filing for Freedom of Information documents concerning what the BATFE withheld from the court, but would LOVE to post it here for the world to see.

I would also love to push the GAO into looking into this situation as well as the several other branches of the government. Not that I think it would do much good, but just to let them know that we are very unhappy about all of this and would love to push for some serious oversight on the part of BATFE.

Then again, I don’t want to interfere with David Olofson’s attorney’s and what they are working on by stirring up a hornet’s nest with my probings. It isn’t that I believe the powers that be would take me seriously for a moment, I don’t, but I do not want to inadvertently do something which would harm David Olofson’s chances either. So for now, and until I hear back from David Olofson himself, I’ll leave this lay as it is.

The Penis Vs. The Vagina, A Low-Down On McCain’s Show-Down

OK, this was too funny, but not in a good way, and I just had to post about it. Now, you all may not have known what an arrogant son-of-a-birch McCain is when it comes to anything Female, but I did. I don’t care what it was, if it had to do with the female reproductive system, he voted it down. That’s the kind of great humanitarian guy he has always been. Should he get elected we would be back in the dark ages in no time with women barefoot and pregnant if he can get away with it.

For those of you having problems reading this text, please place your cursor over the text and hold down the control key on your keyboard, (CTRL), and with the wheel of your mouse, roll the wheel towards yourself. This will increase the text size.

The reporter asked McCain what his opinion was on birth control. Now, how hard can that be to answer? As you will see, for McCain, near impossible! I’ve looked for it in print, but the closest I can get to it is a YouTube and a couple of articles, which is strange, and so will have to write it down here for you and give you the link to t he video. However, the most important part of his response is not on the video. At least I thought it was the most telling…

Reporter: Insurance companies cover Viagra but not birth control and …

McCain: I certainly don’t want to discuss that issue…

Reporter: It was unfair that health insurance companies cover Viagra but not birth control. Do you have an opinion on that?

McCain: (Extremely long pause)…I don’t know enough about it to give you an informed answer.

Check out CNN’s version HERE: The video there is awesome!!!

What isn’t on the video is that McCain went on to say that he believed “that birth control was a personal choice.” Well, umm, excuse me McCain, but isn’t an erection and the medication to enhance/get one also a personal choice? Just because you are old enough to need the stuff and so you benefit from it, didn’t have a THING to do with that, now did it???

When this guy sticks his “foot” in it, it is all the way to the knee! McCain has the WORST record on Women’s issues of any Senator or Congressman out there. He is practically in the cave man days when it comes to reproductive rights for women.

All of this came about due to one of his potential running mates making a speech at a breakfast meeting:

Risky Business

By Dana Milbank

The waiters were still clearing the breakfast dishes yesterday when John McCain’s most prominent adviser raised the subject of erection enhancement.

Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard chief who is now the Republican National Committee’s “Victory Chairman,” was discussing consumer-driven health insurance at a breakfast with reporters when she proposed “a real, live example which I’ve been hearing a lot about from women: There are many health insurance plans that will cover Viagra but won’t cover birth-control medication. Those women would like a choice.” For effect, the woman frequently mentioned as a possible McCain running mate repeated: “Those women would like a choice.”

Somehow I think choice and McCain are going to be the newest oxymoron. Or maybe that will be McCain’s choice? Either way, it doesn’t mean choice for women! Why any woman out there would support McCain is beyond me. But then, I’m not thinking in terms of the Vice Presidency, corporate ladders, mergers or anything else but the facts, and his are abysmal!

The San Francisco Chronicle did a piece on this too, sort of… And I think it is just another example of McCain’s position on birth control. See here:

Fiorina fights critics on campaign trail

~snip~

Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, the nation’s leading abortion and reproductive rights group, told The Chronicle that she sent Fiorina a copy of McCain’s voting record on women’s health issues this week after Fiorina publicly misrepresented McCain’s positions.

Fiorina made the comments - reported by the Washington Post - during a speech about women and health insurance, in which she argued that “many health insurance plans cover Viagra but won’t cover birth-control medication. Those women would like a choice.”

Keenan said a McCain presidency would offer women no such choice. “Obviously, she doesn’t know his record,” she said. “He really did vote against a proposal that would have required insurance companies” to cover prescription contraception in the same way they pay for Viagra.

It wasn’t the first such slipup, Keenan said. Fiorina’s public reassurance to a group of former Hillary Rodham Clinton supporters in Columbus, Ohio, raised hackles after she said the Arizona senator “has never signed on to efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade.”

But McCain has repeatedly underscored his opposition to abortion and has said on the campaign trail that the landmark law that protects a woman’s right to abortion procedures “should be overturned.”

Frankly, when they decide to legislate a man’s penis, THEN AND ONLY THEN, can they CONSIDER overturning Row vs. Wade, and I will still fight them to the death! Men are incapable of controlling that urge. It is well documented. It is one of the reasons I believe that insurance companies will cover Viagra and NOT birth control. (Gotta help those poor guys get it up and keep it up to THEIR fulfillment!) It is still a male dominated society where the desire to control women is an underlaying theme…

So, for the record, here are McCain’s votes for 2005/2006:

:: In 2005, you voted against a proposal that would have required insurance companies to cover prescription contraception in the same way they pay for Viagra. [Clinton/Reid amendment to FY'06 Budget Resolution, S.Con.Res.18, 3/17/05.]

:: And in 2006, you voted against funding teen-pregnancy-prevention programs and ensuring that “abstinence-only” programs are medically accurate. [Lautenberg/Menendez amendment to Child Custody Protection Act, S.403, 7/25/06.

Also, in 2003 McCain voted against another bill for making contraceptives more available to Women:

McCain (R-AZ), Nay

As you can see, this is a pattern for McCain. There is no mistaking, OR FORGETTING, his views on Women’s health care or choices. I’m sure that for as far back as these issues and McCain go you will see the same thing. No wonder he doesn’t want to discuss this issue. It will damn him to every woman alive. Even those who don’t believe in a woman’s right to abortion will still want the right to make that choice in cases of rape, incest, or life/death of the mother.

Simply go to VoteSmart of GovTrac to verify any of these votes. It is amazing the amount of information on those sites. Although VoteSmart gave me incorrect information on Obama the other day which I’m sure was due to not being updated yet… In checking back with them today that information HAS been updated to reflect Obama’s betrayal of the American People!

I can’t lay all the blame for a vote like this at the feet of Senator McCain though. I note that most of the House of Representatives as well as the Senate is made up of men. Doesn’t it figure then that they would vote FOR something which directly benefits them and against something which does not? Oh, I would NEVER call them unfair, biased, jerk-offs who care more for the Corporate dollar than the health care of women, or their lives, even if that is exactly what they are.

Just a few examples though; they have a cure for prostate cancer but not one for breast cancer. Screening for testicular cancer is done while a man lays on his back in comfort. The machine rotates around him, never touching any part of his body, for a thorough scan, while a woman’s breasts are smashed and tortured for a mammogram. All the commercials for adult diapers feature women, not men. Are you telling me there are NO males in this world with bladder problems? I don’t believe you… And that goes for bladder control products also, Women in those ads, not men.

Contraceptives such as condoms, creams, foams, etc. are found on WOMEN’s isles, next to the “monthly” items, not mens… Like that is OUR responsibility and not a mutual one? The number one killer from strokes isn’t men, it is women, (Stroke accounts for more deaths among women than men (11% vs 8.4%)), but is so very often misdiagnosed by doctors because the symptoms are different in women than in men. Most heart attacks in women are missed entirely…

Now, I actually found one report of McCain’s gaff that was pretty complete, all except the priceless part for which he should be immortalized:

Birth Control, Viagra Question Makes McCain Squirm (VIDEO)

The Huffington Post | July 9, 2008 11:48 PM

While John McCain often embodies an anything-goes attitude when talking to reporters, it doesn’t mean some subjects can’t make him sweat–say, birth control.

A female Los Angeles Times reporter inquired today about comments made earlier this week by McCain campaign adviser Carly Fiorina, the former head of Hewlett Packard.

At a breakfast with reporters, Fiorina suggested that individuals-and women in particular-be given more flexibility to determine what their health insurance plans should cover. “There are many health insurance plans that will cover Viagra but won’t cover birth-control medication. Those women would like a choice,” she observed.

When McCain was asked for his position on the issue, he said–with a nervous laugh-”I certainly do not want to discuss that issue.”

The reporter pressed. “But apparently you’ve voted against–”

“I don’t know what I voted,” McCain said.

The reporter explained that McCain voted against a bill in 2003 that would have required health insurance companies to cover prescription birth control. “Is that still your position?” she persisted.

During the awkward exchange, with several lengthy pauses, McCain said he had no immediate knowledge of the vote. “I’ve cast thousands of votes in the Senate,” McCain said, then continued: “I will respond to–it’s a, it’s a…”

“Delicate issue,” the reporter offered, to a relieved laugh from McCain.

“I don’t usually duck an issue, but I’m–I’ll try to get back to you,” he explained.

Ya, right, sure you will McCain. We won’t hold our breaths waiting for it though. We might expire before the election…

There is a video there too. Ah yes, let’s all watch as McCain makes himself look as intelligent as a stupid rock! < smiles sweetly > Is it our fault if the man cannot think on his feet or that his own record comes back to haunt him? You could certainly SEE the wheels turning in McCain’s mind, but no one was home to comprehend them…

Being in the lime-light has a way of bringing up all those skeletons you thought were never going to become an issue. Wonder how his wife feels about this stuff? Course, she doesn’t dare say a word for fear of McNasty’s temper spilling out all over the place. That would never do at this point in the campaign!

So, once again, the brilliant Republican nominee shines out benevolently upon the little people out in la-la-land! Joyous is our world with McCain at the helm! Brilliant linguist that he is, whip-crack intelligence blazing forth in glory! All hail the shining examples of what the Republicans believe is a “fit” candidate! zzzzzzzzzzzz…….

Did Your Senator Betray The Constitution, Their Oath Of Office, And Your 4th Amendment Rights?

This is a visual record of those Senators who not only voted for, but who didn’t vote at all. Those who didn’t vote at all allowed this to become law by virtue of their abdication of responsibility to their Constituents, their Country and OUR Constitution. Forever be they damned and cursed in name and deed for allowing such a bad law to become a part of America. This then is a record of cowards, of liars, of country betrayers, of those who commit treason. Here is the FISA documentation:

Your 1st Amendment rights to Free Speech may be involved in this too. The right to speak freely could, through this new FISA Bill, cause you to be spied upon simply because you use a word or words on a list, a list so vast is boggles the mind!

I’ve taken these names from GovTrac. There is no mistaking who is listed here or the nature of their crime against We the People of the United States of America and the Constitution they swore to uphold. A copy of their voting record as pertains to this bill can be found here:

As quickly as possible, these people should be removed from office and never allowed near Congress again. They should be barred from any contact with members of Congress for the rest of their lives, from any form of contract work that will bring them into contact with Congressional leaders, or the Pentagon. These are criminals and should be treated as such.

As you look at these smiling faces, remember they have betrayed us all!

All information was gathered from GovTrac! A sight I value highly. I hope that you do what you can to get rid of these traitors. There job was to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. They choose to spy on Americans without a warrant and call that OK, violating their oath of office and your 4th Amendment rights and mine. They should be jailed, but the least we should do is throw them out of office.

If you care about your safety, your privacy, your rights to both or either, then these people must be fired, recalled, expelled and let go! They are a disgrace to America!

Pandering To Hispanics, Where Does That Leave The Rest Of Us?

It seems the Candidates don’t think anyone other than Hispanics lives in this country anymore. Why else would both Obama and McCain be demanding amnesty for illegals in this country while the rest of We the People want NO amnesty for illegals? Only a fraction of those in the Hispanic population claim to be speaking for all and the Candidates are sucking it up like the words of God Himself! Whites, blacks, Asian -Americans, Japanese-Americans, Irish Americans, European-Americans, etc. everywhere are being told in an oblique way that we just don’t matter even though we are the majority of voters in America…

For those of you having problems reading this text, please place your cursor over the text and hold down the control key on your keyboard, (CTRL), and with the wheel of your mouse, roll the wheel towards yourself. This will increase the text size.

The weirdest part of all of this is that the groups like La Raza and the Hispanic Caucasus don’t necessarily speak for all Hispanics either. Groups like You Don’t Speak For Me are also Hispanic and definitely NOT on the path FOR amnesty! But since they don’t make the most noise, (or is that pay the most money?), the Candidates seem to think the other groups are all that matter. Something smells really bad here! Wouldn’t it be nice if we were all psychic and could hear what was really going on in these candidate’s minds? Ya, I’ll bet that would be an eye opener!

So why is it that so few can demand so much attention? What makes these candidates pander to such a small group of Latinos, who claim they speak for all, (when they don’t), claim they do so much, and yet when it comes right down to it, there isn’t even ONE piece of legislation these groups can claim credit for having passed that has benefitted the Latino population?

82.5% of the population is against amnesty for illegal aliens. This number includes those Hispanics who are against illegal aliens getting amnesty which are being totally ignored by the candidates. Why do these two candidates then claim it as a mantra for their candidacy? One has to call into question this whole election process and why is it we only have two choices when both are so unsuitable!!! (There are actually more but you never hear of them!)

From Lou Dobbs we got extensive coverage of this issue:

DOBBS: Good evening, everybody.

Senator Obama today made amnesty for illegal aliens one of his top priorities in blatant effort to win Hispanic-American votes. Speaking to one of this country’s most aggressive pro-amnesty socio- ethnocentric groups, Obama declared he will make so-called comprehensive immigration reform a top priority in his first year as president.

It would not surprise me if Obama has just lost the election with this statement. Most Americans whether they be legal immigrants, Hispanic Americans, Afro-Americans, or those considered white, do not want amnesty for those who break our laws and are here illegally, Obama has just slit his own throat with voters by pandering to the few.

Addressing the very same group, Senator McCain insisted we must first secure our borders. McCain did not say how he planned to deal with the 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens already in this country.

McCain is a coward and a liar. He is also hot tempered to boot. Neither candidate is fit for the presidency!

There are 4 more candidates to choose from although the media gives them NO attention. Time for We the People to choose our own candidate! One who WON’T betray us at every turn! Click Here to view the other candidates: Even more have suspended their run for President. Does that mean we can’t vote for them anyway? I don’t recall ever reading where that was against a law. I’ll have to research that one.

Also, Cynthia McKinney is still running. But back to Lou Dobbs…

We have extensive coverage tonight and we begin with Casey Wian in Los Angeles — Casey.

CASEY WIAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Lou, hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens continue to cross our broken borders every year. And today, presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain both vowed to secure the borders, but they differ over when that should happen.

WIAN: Senator John McCain’s position is now clear, even when speaking to the Mexican government as he did last week, or to the League of United Latin American Citizens Tuesday.

SEN. JOHN MCCAIN (R-AZ), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Many Americans with good cause didn’t believe us when we said we would secure our borders, so we failed in our efforts. We must prove to them that we can and will secure our borders first, while respecting the dignity and rights of citizens and legal residents of the United States of America.

Excuse me, did McCain just blame We the People for the failure of Congress to secure the borders? I call bullshit on that! Congress can’t find the Constitution for the Corruption. That is the whole problem with them. It is the only reason they would break the constitutional 4th amendment with the new FISA Bill, allowing illegal wiretapping without a warrant, be unable to secure the borders, be unable to secure our ports, and then blame us for the problems! For SHAME McCain!

WIAN: The keyword is “first,” because McCain and Obama both support some form of legalization plan for the estimated 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens already here. McCain says border security must happen before so-called immigration reform.

Addressing the same group, Obama made no such promise.

SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D-IL), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: We need a president who isn’t going to walk away from something as important as comprehensive reform when it becomes politically unpopular. And I will make it a top priority in my first year as president.

Oh good! Say good bye Obama! It was not nice getting to know you. The only way this man will win now is if the elections are rigged!

WIAN: And Obama says he will crack down on employers of illegal workers. Both candidates emphasize close ties to American Latinos.

OBAMA: That’s why I worked with LULAC and MALDEF before I was in public office as a civil rights lawyer to register Latino voters and ensure that Hispanics had an equal voice in city hall.

MCCAIN: I represent the great state of Arizona where Spanish was spoken before English was and where the character and prosperity of our state owes a great deal to the many Arizonans of Hispanic descent who live there.

I hate to tell McCain but spanish was NOT the first language spoken in Arizona! The Native Americans who lived here didn’t speak spanish to my knowledge and they were here long before the spanish ever came. Get your facts correct McCain, you brown-nosing bullshitter.

WIAN: But many Americans who favor strong border security are suspicious. McCain only recently promised border security first. And Obama, who last year voted to build more border fencing now opposes the idea.

These two candidates will say ANYTHING to get elected. If they are willing to promise you the world, you can bet your ass they are not going to deliver anything later on. They simply can’t keep all the promises they are making. Someone will be disappointed. Guess who that will be???

WIAN: Obama and McCain are scheduled to speak to another pro-amnesty group, the National Council of La Raza, this coming Sunday and Monday here in Southern California — Lou.

DOBBS: Well, that’s quite a tour, seeking to pander to those ethnocentric groups. La Raza, LULAC today. And just last week, pandering again — I mean, you have to give McCain some credit here, saying straightforwardly border security first. But that’s sort of a — he said it before but changed his mind. Where are we in all of this?

Why would the league of Latin American citizens be concerned with the advancing economic conditions, educational attainment, political influence, health and civil rights of the Hispanic population of the United States? Aren’t we all equal here in this country if you are a citizen? Don’t they mean they want MORE than their fair share of the pie? I’m only curious since it is the hispanic community that is the only community which refuses to learn english and so separates themselves from the rest of America. But the separation is not on the part of the rest of America, only on the part of the hispanics.

WIAN: These two candidates are clearly trying to walk a tight rope, not angering those who favor amnesty for illegal aliens, and while still offering some hope of border security for those who view that as priority. It’s clear that McCain has taken a stronger stance, saying border security first. But as you mentioned, he has had a different view in the past, sponsoring legislation that would have given comprehensive immigration reform amnesty at the same time as border security. He now disavows that. A lot of border activists don’t trust him, though — Lou.

DOBBS: Well, and it’s interesting that he used this language, that Americans were skeptical with good cause of their government, promised to secure the borders. Saying with good cause. It’s clear that Senator McCain is acknowledging that the American people were right not to trust their government on this issue. And one would suspect, correct now, not to trust either of these candidates on the issue.

WIAN: There’s a long history on this, Lou. As you know, back in 1986, so-called comprehensive immigration reform plan, they only did half the job and look what happened. An explosion in the number of illegal aliens coming into the United States.

DOBBS: And here’s Senator Obama, talked about as a civil rights lawyer, he worked with Hispanic groups. This man could not have pandered more to this group if he had tried. I just can’t imagine what else he could have said other than the fact that he believes that apparently the Hispanic-American vote will be determinative of the outcome.

Gotten on his knees and given them all blow jobs?

Is he simply discounting the rest of the country’s population?

WIAN: Well, I don’t — I think he’s certainly discounting that portion of the Hispanic-American vote that favors strong border security and does not favor amnesty for illegal aliens. And they are out there, though both candidates don’t seem to acknowledge it.

DOBBS: It’s remarkable, approaching — one would think it’s almost — talk about something that’s sensitive racially and ethnically to approach these groups which represent such a small group of people amongst the Hispanic-American citizenry. LULAC, MALDEF, La Raza.

And they act with such arrogance as if they represent Hispanic- Americans. It is — at the same time for these candidates to be bending over backwards to pander to them. It is a remarkable thing to watch. It makes you wonder how the rest of all of those Americans involved in group and identity politics must feel as these two candidates spend so much time focusing on Latinos in this country. To what end, we’ll have to find out.

Casey, thank you very much. Casey Wian.

When you see candidates work this hard to please a very few, there is something very wrong in the picture. 25% of Americans are of Hispanic origins. Of that, maybe half want amnesty for illegal aliens living in this country now. That’s only 12.5% of the people in this country. So WHY are these candidates practically begging these lobby groups to vote for them? It is disgusting to say the least. How anyone could vote for these two is beyond me. The longer I watch them, the more lies they tell, the worse my feelings about them gets to be. If either of these two men wind up in the White House this country is in serious trouble.

Currently congress has a 9% approval rating and you want to elect one of their own to be President? Are you all mad? They haven’t been running this country very well up to date and you want to give the biggest job in the country over to a man who can’t figure out how to honor the oath he has already taken, that of defending the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and elect him president?

I’d like to point out that Obama didn’t bother to vote to help Americans with their Foreclosure problems:Housing Foreclosure Assistance Programs NV. And before you tell me it is because he is campaigning, let me assure you he is still voting. He voted on a Medicare issue on 6-26 of this year. Full of lies and deceit, the perfect candidate for the corporations! But it seems Obama took the cowards path and decided NOT TO VOTE on the FISA Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 Amendments Act of 2008 HR 6304 NV
issue! No guts to back up his words with actions. You think you can trust him? He says one thing but does another. Think this will change when elected to president?

McCain is no better! He also took the cowards path and decided NOT TO VOTE on the issue of FISA! Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 Amendments Act of 2008 HR 6304 NV.

Two cowards deciding NOT TO VOTE AT ALL on an issue every American was watching! Ya, I want these guys in office! NOT!!!

Senator Boxer, Lieberman, Feinstein, Warner, Fleecing America

Four more Senators are bringing forward two bills designed to fleece Americans out of billions of dollars in the guise of “climate security” scams. I know this is SUCH a huge surprise! None of OUR Senators would EVER do such a nasty thing as scam Americans! Ya, uh huh! These four Hall of Shame Award winners go straight to the head of the class for underhanded, dirty dealing.

What a peachy pair huh? This dastardly quad, (see other two below), needs only 60 votes to pass the following bills S2191 and S3036. First of all, you need to understand that Global Warming is a scam made up to cause fear and used to control the world! In an article I’ve already do
