Skip to comments.Newt and the Governing Class
Posted on 12/08/2011 12:14:45 PM PST by TBBT
I just returned from the belly of the beast, Washington, D.C. There is not a more parochial or insular city in the country. While there, I had a conversation with two members of what can be described only as the Republican establishment, one in the print media and the other a K Street lobbyist. In short order, the conversation turned to Newt Gingrich and his surge to the top of the ladder.
There is no one more reviled in Washington than Newt. If anyone believes he is part of the establishment, he or she is mistaken. In fact, it would not be a terribly great stretch to say some in the Republican wing of the governing class would prefer to see Obama re-elected than Newt in the Oval Office. However, the vast majority of this class are now in a panic as the preordained choice, Mitt Romney, is truly threatened by the rabble in flyover country constantly looking for anyone but Romney. These people have settled, so it seems, on Gingrich. The increasing volume of commentary of the Beltway insiders and attendant vitriol toward Newt has become a near-hysterical tidal wave rehashing and embellishing Newt's supposed failings and personal "baggage."
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
That's very interesting. Maybe it explains Newt's cozying up to Hillary and Nancy--trying to regain the power he'd lost?
The author has been fooled...and likely a supporter of Mitt or Newt
Newt ain't for Tea Party principles either. He's as establishment as you can get.
Conservatism is dead. If they win, either Romney or Gingrich will also be one term presidents, because they will immediately run away from conservative principles, and will contimue the Obama policies, if at a slower speed - amnesty, more spending, appointment of "moderate" judges, etc. It will mark the end of the Republican perty.
I got your nightmare right here

Newt Gingrich on Bailout: "Reluctantly ... Yes"
As you said: Romney is simply unacceptable.
Newt doesn't thrill me either, but he will side with capitalism or with non-governmental solutions more often than either of the leftists we are choosing him to stop. That is close enough. It's nowhere near the enthusiasm I had for Cain, or for Bachmann, or for DeMint, or for so many others (especially for you-know-who from Alaska), but I'll print up the Newt bumper stickers and put one on my car:
This means that if he were to become POTUS, members of his own party and administration would be leaking stuff to undermine Newt every second of every day. They are about that grade-school petty inside the beltway.
Being reviled doesn't make one "not a D.C. insider." If you're an insider, it just means you're a reviled insider.
Newt is the penultimate typical — even stereotypical — Washington pol. He's not an outsider. Rather, he's an outcast. And that is far different from being a true outsider.
Vote for Obama then. Thanks!
Gingrich is not only flawed, he's a loose cannon. In previous years, I would have never considered him as a choice.
Realistically, there are 3 choices, Gingrich, Romney, or Obama.
Obama is out of the question. He's a communist, and his vision for America is simply evil.
Romney is better than Obama, but would be business as usual. Obamacare would remain intact. Romney would just be so thrilled to be president that he would do whatever he had to to make the government establishment happy.
Gingrich is a wild card. He's pretty smart, though not as smart as he thinks he is. He's more conservative than both Obama and Romney by an order of magnitude. And while Gingrich may have some crazy ideas, and say inappropriate things, I think he'd be a positive force, on balance.
So... I've decided to ignore the trash talk about Gingrich. Ignore his baggage, for Gingrich's baggage is far lighter than Obama's, and the MSM managed to ignore all of Obama's flaws.
That is why, despite the fact that he is a loose cannon at times, Newt is the guy to take on Obama. Bachman maybe.
I applaude your realism. Those who don't share it will be very shocked when Newt makes good on his promise that one of his first acts as President will be to "reach out to Democrats."
Personal opinion here but Obama must not win.
I'd take Biden to Obama because the puppets controlling Obama couldn't control an idiot.
Your opinion is as far from reality as Obama is from being pro-American!
I met Newt as part of a delegation of top conservative grass roots leaders in Connecticut on July 14, 2010.
For two hours we exchanged views and listened to Newt.
He strongly encouraged us to take over the CT GOP!
He offered to help.
He said that the Tea Party is the only hope for restoring America!!
I believe Newt will embrace Tea Party principles and appoint hundreds of Tea Party activists, if he becomes the 45th POTUS!
Google my name to see my impact and input in Connecticut in the past three years.
I know what I say is true!
I was all for Sarah Palin, but then went to Cain.
Many of us have been brainwashed into believing what we see on TV, although we know bettter!
Discarding the yoke of conformity is perhaps the most difficult task we can achieve!!
There is no "perfect candidate".
I prefer to go with the person who most scares the status quo ruling class establishment.
In 1980 that was Ronald Reagan.
In 1992 that was Pat Buchanan.
Gingrich is the first statesman since Reagan, flaws and all.
I am speechless...forget his record...forget his lobbying...
Just listen to a politician on what he says he is going to do and all will be well!!!
Newt Gingrich is 100% progressive establishment...HE HAS EVEN SAID IT.
Get your head out of the sand...time is running out. Dig out the truth and you will see the only two candidates so far that are true conservatives for small government are Bachmann and Santorum.
BTW...I have spoken to Newt personally well, and Cain and many of them...speaking to them personally has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on their actual records.
Newt is an insider..his stand on immigration and global warming show his core.. but the current resident also holds those views and many others that Newt would not agree with.. so pragmatism says Newt is OUR insider and he will get my vote even though I have strong reservations on many points
I don't take Newt at his word on that or on most of what he says. I believe he will "reach out" to the Democrats, but I'm not convinced it will be sincere, particularly if we send him to DC with a strong conservative Congress. I am comfortable trusting him about as much as I would expect his third wife to trust him - and I imagine he will be as loyal to his voters as he was to his first two wives . . . faithful significantly more than half the time. It's sad that this is the best our party can attract to public office, but most conservatives prefer to do something useful and are in private enterprise.
Bull Crap, newt is an insider, but the people up there knows he would sell his own mom down the river for a fast buck. In short, they do not trust his word is better that a bucket of spit.
" These words were not greeted warmly by my two acquaintances, but as it has been often said: the times are a-changin. Those now safely ensconced within the Beltway are being sent a warning. It is not the deep emotional desire to choose Newt Gingrich that has changed the landscape of the nominating process in 2012, but what he represents -- a threat to the establishment."
If I decide to vote for Gingrich, this will be the reason. That also assumes that neither Bachmann nor Santorum have a chance in Hades, which seems like a foregone conclusion at this point.
Fine, believe what you want to believe.
Oh my goodness, I love your bumper sticker! May I borrow it?
I also agreed with every word of your post as though I had written it myself.
"Reaching out" in itself means nothing, it's what you say while doing it.
Obama reaches out to Replublicans regularly, stating "get on board and comply with my wishes or I'll blame you for everything". Thankfully, our House majority has saved us from his Socialist gavel (for the most part). If Newt "reaching out" means pretty much the same and we still have the majority then I am OK with it.
Woo-hoo. Excellent post. We need a "Bull Moose" to stir up Congress and turn things around—not another establishment nominee.
Remember what I wrote in 18 months.
Santorum couldn't get elected dog catcher in Scranton!
An idiot whooped him badly in 2006.
The brilliant architect of the Democrat's comeback, Howard Dean, helped select Dems that appeared more conservative than Republican incumbents that year, enabling them to take back Congress.
Bachmann is a stalking horse for Romney.
If he gets the nomination, she gets a big cookie.
Santorum had won two elections previously in a heavily democratic area where the GOP doesn't win. He beat the Carville gang and yet he got beat a third time but no one expected him to win at all.
Look at Santorum's record. Look at what he did.
It is up to us NOW during the primaries to pick the candidate to oppose Obama.
If you think Romney or Gingrich are an answer to Obama you are not informed - PERIOD. In fact it is because of the progressive right (Bush, et al) that we got Obama. Who do you think will be next after Gingrich or Romney? Obama 2.0 and that person will be 10X's as bad as Obama.
Voting for a progressive is not a WIN for America.
That's the point. We either make our stand now and save our country from the progressives or they win. This is the end game.
Pollster1, yours is a reasonable response. It is basically: "Trust but verify and then verify again, and then verify somemore ..." But, finally, is this not what we should be doing (should have been doing) with every GOP president? So, I say, elect Newt; and then lean on him continuously to do the right thing. Demand that he choose a solid VP running mate. Insist that his cabinet and advisors be sound, level-headed conservatives who plan to return home to their communities and want to be able to look their neighbors in the eye without shame or embarrassment. Work to get real conservatives into the congress at every opportunity, and real conservatives into the state and local governments at every level. Assume that unwatched conservatives sent to Washington or any state capital are like well-intentioned policemen who go to work in Chicago. They need to be watched and supported, in that order, for the temptation to corruption is strong.
His congressional experience gives him the best shot at undoing obamacare, if, in fact, he wants to.
All in all, probably our best choice.
He also would be the beat president at manipulating congress since Johnson (spit).
I like Ron Paul.
He should be appointed as Secretary of Education to dismantle it.
And then in order, reappointed as Secretary of Commerce, HUD, Energy and Interior to do the same job.
If he could accomplish all that in four years, he should get a medal!!
Make that big government and amnesty. I noticed today, that Rush said there was a lot of room for someone to move to the right of newt, bet that makes you middle of the road and lefty types happy.
Newt's style is much more pedantic, as befits a professor. What he most lacks is Church's focus. Newt is all over the place, with opinions about everything, but he is far from being a polymath, more the dilettante. The real question is: does he have Churchill's ability to stay the course on the great issues confronting the country?
Lincoln had that ability. He focused on the war and left the secondary matters to Seward, Chase, and the Republican Congress. One impression I got from Palin--as governor--is that she had that ability. She had strength of will. As president, she might have brought the same focus. But as a genuine outsider, with pedigree or polish, she could never win over the Establishmentarians. Lincoln did, at least enough. We forget how much he owed to Horace Greeley. Greeley not only polished his debates with Douglas --the ones we read today were redacted by Greeley's paper-- but brought him East to give the Cooper's Union speech which was wildly applauded by the elite audience there.
Palin is not capable of finely crafted speeches. Lincoln had a love and a gift for the language that Palin lacks. But, as Elizabeth I, said on a famous occasion, She might have the heart of a woman, but she has the stomach of a king. Does New have the stomach? I don't mean the self-confidence, but the courage to go against elite opinion when it matters. Neither Bush really had that. Reagan did.
The tactical problem with Newt is he just doesn't know when to shut up. The way to run for president is to paint a few 'Big Ideas' in broad strokes and then give out details with an eye-dropper. You just know that Newt is going to P- off ever significant constituency in BOTH parties before this thing is over. If he can survive that and get elected in the face of Obama's billion-dollar warchest, then it would be a miracle.
You can't escape the fact that Newt is pro-amnesty (yes, it's amnesty), pro-TARP, and pro-global warning.
That is as far from Tea Party principles and Constitutional governance as you can get. Are we to hope that as Newt's head spins around on these important issues he will eventually stop in the right direction?
Question: How many of Newt's 10 points in the 1994 Contract With America survived? And who was in charge to make sure they survived?
Um, fightinJAG, "penultimate" means "next-to-last"
From a LIBERTY perspective Ron Paul nails it.
BTW as far as I can tell only Ron Paul and Michelle Bachmann do not participate in the insider trading that goes in DC...
That's a given.
"If he can survive that and get elected in the face of Obamas billion-dollar warchest, then it would be a miracle."
I'm totally pessimistic, mostly because of the electorate coupled with the biased media coverage.
However, I have noticed that Gingrich really, is getting under the skin of the liberals. I suspect part of that is that they fear Gingrich as an opponent. I certain they fear him as a president.
I think Romney would oppose Obama the same way McCain did, and the way the RNC says to approach Obama, that is, no direct assaults, be nice.
Gingrich is our best chance, and if he implodes, or if he just doesn't get the job done, God help us all.
Use it early. Use it often. Feel free to sell it for a profit.
Put another way, Newt will die the death of a thousand sound-bites. Democrats can get away with wonkish behavior and the Media lauds them as the smartest in the room. If a conservative does that... well, let's just say they won't allow it.
To compare Gingrich and Reagan in the same sentence exposes what you don't know.
Gingrich is NOT a conservative. He is a progressive - self admitted progressive. Maybe that is what you mean by the "modern movement" - maybe you are really a progressive and not a true conservative either.
Gingrich had a lot to do with Obamacare, with the medicare reimbursements for the death panels. Newt co-sponsored over 400 bills with Pelosi and was happy to do it. Newt was all cozy over global warming - a true hallmark of the progressive movement.
Newt is BIG GOVERNMENT, BIG SPENDING ALL DAY LONG.
A victory for Romney, Gingrich or Obama in 2012 spells the end of America.
Funny how you had to go back over 30 years to find something good Newt did. Yeah back in 1984 and 1994 I was a huge Gingrich fan and supporter but the cancer that is DC got the better of him.
Look at what he has done since...
Thanks, it's a good one. :-)
The problem with putting a true conservative in is nothing will get done. To get what you want, you would need 60 Republican votes in the Senate to approve anything. At best, we can hope to get the majority in the Senate, but 60 is a little out of reach. A true conservative would also have more trouble winning the general election. You have to look at this more strategically. #1 priority is to replace Obama. To beat Obama, you'll need to win back the Independents. The further you are to the right, the less chance you have. It might align with what you want, but you have to be happy getting some of what you want - most importantly replacing Obama.
However, the vast majority of this class are now in a panic as the preordained choice, Mitt Romney, is truly threatened by the rabble in flyover country constantly looking for anyone but Romney.They're not panicked enough. I want the center-right political classes so panicked that even they turn on Romney.
What would you have done in 1775?
Worked with the Tories or with the Patriots?
Would you have said we can't beat the British it is better to work with the Tories...etc???
Guess what it is 1775 ALL OVER AGAIN!

Some of my best memories are centered around the Woolworth's store. It was a great old building with wooden floors and large bins of treasurers. Upstairs in the back was the office area and it was wonderful to go up there with Mom and be able to look down onto the whole store.
One time, after a visit to the dentist, Mom took me to Woolworth's and let me pick out something special. I still have the little pink jewelry box and I keep many little memory joggers in it.
Do you have special memories from another place or another time that might be saved in postcard format? Go look around. It's amazing! Even if you aren't interested in buying the items you will find many memories to add to your collection.

How can we provide well for the world's people without bankrupting the natural systems that underlie all economic (and human) activities? The key, according to a new report by the Center for a Steady State Economy and based on input from leading economists, lies in shifting our economic systems from those based on the idea of more to those based on that of enough.
Economic growth, while exacting a heavy toll from the environment, is not improving people's lives in high-income nations such as the UK, the report states. Featuring input from economists such as Peter Victor, Tim Jackson and Andrew Simms, Enough is Enough identifies specific, implementable policies for achieving a steady state economy, one that is sufficient to meet people's needs for a high-quality of life, while staying within the scale of what nature can provide.

TUPPER LAKE – A Tupper Lake man was sentenced Monday to six years in prison for possessing child pornography.
James L. Tabolt Jr., 40, was also sentenced to follow his prison time with a 15-year term of federal supervised release. He will also be required to register with the state as a sex offender.
Tabolt pleaded guilty in September to possessing more than 1,300 images of child pornography on a home computer. He was originally charged with both possessing and sharing a sexual performance by a child when he was arrested in March 2011.
In December 2010, a state police investigator detected images of child pornography being made available from an Internet protocol address in the Tupper Lake area, according to a press release from U.S. Attorney Richard S. Hartunian's office. Investigators determined the images came from a computer in Tabolt's residence.
The various law enforcement organizations working on the case got a warrant, seized Tabolt's computer from his Facteau Avenue home and arrested him in March 2011. An examination of the computer recovered more than 1,300 images of child pornography. There were no videos – all the images were still photos downloaded through a file sharing program, Tupper Lake police Sgt. Sean Stradley told the Enterprise this morning.
"I think it was a great joint effort between the New York state police and us," Stradley said. "This was a real positive thing that we were able to make this type of arrest and get somebody like that off the street. I think that it's amazing that people think it happens in bigger towns, but it happens all over."
The case was prosecuted by Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney John G. Duncan.
The joint investigation was conducted by state police, the Tupper Lake Police Department, the Franklin and Clinton County sheriffs' departments, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, the state Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and the Utica Police Department. The joint effort is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from online exploitation and abuse.

Already the warm spring weather is getting to me. Peaking outside at the garden from around the corner to see what's out there, is there anything new to see?
I feel pulled by some mysterious force. Not only to get my hands dirty, but also to capture everything that happens. Even before things begin to bloom I like to envision what will this year look like. Flipping through past spring photos is a chance to see how things looked from the previous year and can be of great help in deciding what needs doing.
There are a few sparse gaps in the garden beds that need some fresh plants, something to merge the fuller areas into one whole planting. I love a densely planted garden space. Weeds are minimal and the tender crumb of the soil stays hydrated, but mostly everything looks lush, content and full of blooms.
Besides looking forward to spring, food is always something I look forward too and being in the kitchen fuels me. Salmon cakes such as these give me a boost when work is full and the "to do" list is long. The early spring chores in the garden are the everyday things that happen, your knees get sore and your back aches, but still my heart is happy knowing that everything will pay off later in the season when the garden can just be enjoyed.
There should be a picnic or two here or a few lazy afternoons there.
It is why I plant and care for this little place knowing that all this care is well worth it and sharing this space with friends is even better. Throw in some nourishing food, some laughter and call it dinner with a view.
For these salmon cakes you can replace the gluten free bread crumbs with Panko breadcrumbs if you are not going gluten free.
Gluten-Free Salmon Cakes [makes 9]
1 pound salmon fillet
1 cup grated zucchini, squeezed of moisture
2 Tablespoons chives, thinly sliced
¼ cup corn meal
1 Tablespoon fresh dill, roughly chopped
1 Tablespoon Lemon Dill Aïoli [from the recipe below]
1 large egg, beaten
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed chilies
½ cup gluten-free bread crumbs
1. Roast salmon with a little olive oil in a 350°F oven for 20-25 minutes or salmon is firm and flakes easily.
2. Cool salmon and flake into large pieces and place in a mixing bowl.
3. Fold in remaining ingredients except bread crumbs with salmon.
4. Using a #20 scoop [approximately ¼ cup], scoop salmon mixture and form into cakes.
5. Coat each side with bread crumbs.
6. In a skillet, heat a little olive oil and cook salmon cakes 2-3 minutes per side over medium heat.
Lemon Dill Aïoli [makes ½ cup]
1 large egg yolk, room temperature
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ -½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon lemon zest
1/3 cup olive oil -or- sunflower oil
1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped
1. Whisk together egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, salt and zest in a bowl.
2. Vigorously whisk in oil in a slow steady stream until emulsified and creamy.
3. Stir in fresh dill.

5 Tax Impacts of Obamacare
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- Now in October we have falling leaves, pumpkins, the baseball playoffs and, oh yes, a slew of new taxes linked to the formal rollout of Obamacare .
The tax portion of the Affordable Care Act has taken a back seat to other, mostly political issues, but it's the central reason the ACA is even alive today.
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 vote, upheld Obamacare due primarily to the individual mandate portion of the ACA. Chief Justice John Roberts ruled the mandate's penalty for not signing up for Obamacare was constitutional because it was deemed a tax, an argument rarely made by proponents when the legislation was being written and debated.
Now the tax issue begins to take center stage with this week's open enrollment phase.
The law phases in new taxes on individuals, employers and insurance companies. To explain those taxes and their impact on Americans, we reached out to Rande Spiegelman, vice president of financial planning at the Schwab Center for Financial Research .
Here's what you need to know about the tax provision of the ACA:
Increased Medicare tax for high earners. An additional 0.9% Medicare tax will be levied on earned income over $200,000 for single filers and over $250,000 for married couples filing jointly. That, according to Spiegelman, means a new marginal Medicare tax of 2.35% on earned income for high earners (the current rate is 1.45%, plus 0.9% for amounts over the threshold).
Surtax on unearned income. The Affordable Care Act will add a 3.8% surtax on net investment income over the modified adjusted gross income threshold of $200,000 for single filers and $250,000 for married filers. Net investment income includes interest, dividends, royalties, rental income, gross income from a trade or business involving passive activities and net gain from disposition of property (other than property held in a trade or business).
Spiegelman says that with the new surtax, long-term capital gains and qualified dividends are taxed at a top rate of 23.8%, while nonqualified dividends, interest and rental income are taxed at a top ordinary rate of 43.4%. "This does not include the 'stealth tax' related to the phase-out of personal exemptions and itemized deductions for high earners, or the marginal rate 'marriage penalty' that's set to come back for tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2012," he says.
Modified threshold for claiming medical expense deductions. Obamacare increases the adjusted gross income threshold for claiming an itemized deduction for medical expenses from 7.5% to 10%. The 7.5% threshold will continue to apply through 2016 to individuals 65 and older and their spouses, Spiegelman explains.

Skip to comments.Long Live The Pig!
Posted on 05/29/2013 5:01:34 PM PDT by Starman417
Domesticated swine and Western Civilization go back a long way together. The domestic pig was being raised in Europe by about 1500 BC. Rome improved pig breeding and spread them throughout their empire. The early Christians increasingly abandoned the Jewish ban on the eating of pork by about 50 AD and its been the celebrated other white meat ever since.
Pigs and the discovery of the New World went hand in hand. Christopher Columbus took eight pigs on his voyage to Cuba in 1493 at Queen Isabellas insistence. Hernando de Soto brought Americas first thirteen pigs to Tampa Bay, Fla., in 1539. Cortés introduced hogs to New Mexico in 1600 while Sir Walter Raleigh brought sows to the Jamestown colony in 1607.
Frankly, the West and pigs go together like, well, bacon and eggs. Who hasnt enjoyed the cultural icons that are the three little pigs, delighted in playing this little piggie went to market with a toes of a small child, or stashed a few dollars away in their piggie bank? And who can forget such beloved childhood characters as Wilbur from Charlottes Web, Babe the movie star (thatll do pig), Miss Piggy, or Piglet from Winnie the Pooh?
Lets be honest, even the most finicky among us has to admit that a side order of bacon at IHOP isnt such a bad idea either.
But, alas, not all share our love for all things pork, bacon, and pig-related.
Piglets removed from agricultural exhibit because Muslim kids were stoning them to death

Baby Bacon.
They Sleep and Rout in Sh!t! That is a filthy animal.
I don't want to eat anything that doesn't have enough sense to disregard its own Feces!!!
I guess cows and chickens are out for you then. No fish either, they poop in the water.
In "The Odyssey" only 3 or 4 people remained loyal to Odysseus. One of them was the Swineherd.
A few months ago, I noticed someone had hit and killed a huge wild hog just down the road from me. I bet it tore the vehicle up. I mean this hog was huge.
Besides Leviticus 11:7, JPS: "And the swine, because it has a split hoof, and is cloven-footed, but cheweth not the cud, it is unkosher for you."
I'm not Jewish, so the Kosher laws don't apply to me. Besides, a life without bacon would not be worth living.
Cats look down on humans.
Dogs look up to humans.
Pigs consider humans equal.
I was reading an interview of my Dad's cousin - a WWII vet. In talking about food he said the rations were edible. But as a newbie in Europe he couldn't figure out why he could score so many extra rations with pork.
Until a few weeks in and going along roads with dead Germans in the ditches, and the pigs feasting. (He started giving up his pork rations as well!)
I don't understand why Goy would consume an animal that eats purposely eats its own feces.
And you know what else they do in the water, don't you?
Although in a situation like WW2 and if you were Jewish, I am sure in a combat environment you had to suck it up a few times because if I recall correctly C-Rats were Bacon, Pork Loaf, More Pork Loaf, Sausages, and Pork Loaf.
Eat onions.
More bacon for ue.
HEY!!! I see you eyeing my pork chop.
Bacon, bacon, bacon
A Sewer Rat may taste like a Pumpkin Pie, But I will never know because I wouldn't eat the filthy Bastard!
A Sewer Rat may taste like a Pumpkin Pie, But I will never know because I wouldn't eat the filthy Bastard!
You need to mind your own business.
Well the Chinese bought our biggest hog farms along with Springfield today.
They will control the prices and quantity we get to keep after they feed their people!
God bless America!
Home of the "hog trough" buffet.
I should have added that is 12 major brand names!
I don't understand why Jews murder their alive unborn. But the two are not in the same ballpark because murdering your own posterity is alot worse than a BLT.
do you eat chicken? chickens are cannibals
OK try tomatoes
yay you. what is your bp, weight, and height? what meds are you on? and if you don't like pork don't eat it? i haven't put you down or told you what you should or shouldn't do. so lighten up.
More sewer rat for us. HEY! I see you eying my polecat drummies.
KC Kitten seems a little judgemental
Can pigs be "bastards"? Either the Kitty is confused or guilty of anthropomorphism.
I remember the wild hogs coming into a campground in Hillsborough county many years ago. 1970's?
I think they headed for the river late at night and were ferocious looking...
Just Watch....
Last I recall our Supposedly "Christian" Nation has 65+ Million Aborted Babies since the 70's
I don't understand what being Jewish has to do with anything, other than some unfortunate implications.
I think KC Kitty is Swinophopbic. Bacon!
So you think you can obfuscate your smarmy way out of this one? Bwahahahaha ... you're the one who claimed to be Jewish and raled against eating pigs. I merely pointed out a practice of Jewish Israelis that murderers way too many alive unborn Jewish children. That in no way exhonerates Americans killing more than a million a year, but I was referring to the JEWISH state where the 'rites of Molech' are still practiced.
I won't click your link.
And BTW, those little pigs are cute as all getout! But then most babies of the mammalian variety are cute.
Has no one Seen Pulp Fiction!!?
More links. No thanks.
I watched the 4th season of "Arrested development" on net flix with my boys this weekend. Ever two minutes I had to stop and ask - I see you laughing but do you get the reference? No. It's from a sitcom from the 1980s. The actor used to say that in that show. Oh.
The poor kids got like 1 out of 50 references. I have no idea why they thought it was funny.
Well if it makes you feel any better, Pulp Fiction came out when I was like 6 and I still get it's references. :)
Oh yea, that REALLY make me feel better. (I was like 40 when it came out).

SALT LAKE CITY — A mother upset about "indecent" T-shirts on display at a Utah mall found a quick if not especially convenient way to remove them: She bought every last one.
Judy Cox and her 18-year-old son were shopping Saturday at the University Mall in Orem, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City, when she saw the shirts in the window of a PacSun store.
The shirts featured pictures of scantily dressed models in provocative poses.
Cox said she complained about the window display to a store manager and was told the T-shirts couldn't be taken down without approval from the corporate office. She then bought all 19 T-shirts in stock, for a total of $567. She said she plans to return them later, toward the end of the chain store's 60-day return period.
The shirts cost about $28 each on the website for PacSun, which sells beach clothes for teenagers and young adults.
"These shirts clearly cross a boundary that is continually being pushed on our children in images on the Internet, television and when our families shop in the mall," Cox said.
PacSun CEO Gary Schoenfeld said in an emailed statement the company takes pride in the clothes and products it sells, which are inspired by music, art, fashion and action sports.
"While customer feedback is important to us, we remain committed to the selection of brands and apparel available in our stores," Schoenfeld said.
Orem is a city of about 90,000 in ultraconservative Utah County that uses the motto "Family City USA."
Most residents belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which frowns on pornography and encourages its youth to dress and act modestly.
Cox said she wants her actions to make clear that these types of images are not acceptable for public display.
"I hope my efforts will inspire others to speak up within their communities," Cox said. "You don't have to purchase $600 worth of T-shirts, but you can express your concerns to businesses and corporations who promote the display of pornography to children."
PacSun has 600 stores across the United States, the company's website shows.

Description of Anthozoa
The Anthozoa is that group of coelenterates (Cnidaria) that contains the sea anemones and corals. Typically they are attached to a substrate, have a columnar body with an opening at the top, and arms radiate around the opening. The name means flower animals, a reference to the floral appearance of their perennial polyp stage. Food, mostly small plankton but some species can catch fish, is captured by nematocysts on the arm, and pushed through the opening to be digested inside the body. Unlike other cnidarians, anthozoans do not have a medusa stage in their development. Instead, they release sperm and eggs that form a planula, which attaches to some substrate on which the cnidarian grows. Some anthozoans can also reproduce asexually through budding. The gastrovascular cavity that the mouth opens into is subdivided by a number of radiating partitions, or mesenteries. The gonads are also located within the cavity walls. Some species harbour photosynthetic dinoflagellates or zooxanthellae, in a symbiotic relationship; the reef building corals known as hermatypic corals rely on this symbiotic relationship particularly. The zooxanthellae benefit by having access to nitrogenous waste and carbon dioxide produced by the host or , and the cnidarian gains products of photosynthesis and an increased to deposit calcium carbonate. The association created coral reef systems, entirely new and rich ecosystems, the evolution of which reveals the property of emergence - the result is not simply a sum of the parts. Anemones and certain species of coral live in isolation, however most corals form colonies of genetically identical polyps; these polyps closely resemble anemonies in structure, although are generally considerably smaller. Stony coral live in all parts of the underwater world, but corals with symbionts occur in shallow waters around tropical islands and coasts. They provide a rich source of food and provide physical protection for shores. Corals are threatened by increasing acidification of the oceans.

Hot on the heels of their Innova release In C Remixed, Grand Valley State University New Music Ensemble has made a new recording of Terry Riley's In C. A 2009 live date at Le Poisson Rouge, it features composer/producer/laptop musician Dennis DeSantis alongside the ensemble in a 65-minute rendition of the piece.
This version is different from the material on the Innova disc. It takes some of DeSantis' remixing and electronica talents that were briefly on display there and blows them up to a full, intensely interactive, electro-tinged In C for 2010.
The release is available digitally via Ghostly International. Previously known as a quirk pop/electronica outfit, this is the label's first foray into concert music. One hopes that its the first of many!
They've been kind enough to allow us to share a five-minute selection of the performance here.

Dough Temperature.....while in refrig overnight and just prior to baking
February 13, 2005, 09:45:02 AM »
I have seen much guidance on water temp that leads to a final dough temp of 80-85f. Two questions:
1. What is the optimal refrigeration temperature for the 24 proofing?
2. What temperature is optimal just prior to baking ?
(I am trying to figure out how long it must sit at room temperature prior to baking but with different refrigerators and varying weather and temperature a discrete temperature that the dough should reach would be helpful.

Two excellent questions.
As to your first question, professional pizza operators use coolers that operate at around 35-40 degrees F. That's about 10 degrees lower than I can get out of my home refrigerator, but there are some home refrigerators that can get down to around 40 degrees or so. Some members of our forum have devised different ways of getting the dough to cool down faster. Canadave uses a metal container for the dough, which cools down faster than plastic or wood because heat conducts away faster from metal than other materials. Giovanni puts his dough in the freezer for a period of time. For a dough ball for a 16-inch pizza, I myself have tried Giovanni's approach and have been able to get away with around 30-40 minutes in the freezer without having the dough start to freeze. Most of the time I just put the dough in the refrigerator in a plastic bag and let it go at that.
As for your second question, the technical answer is that the time that it will take for the dough to reach the desired temperature for shaping, etc., depends on the temperature of the dough when it comes out of the refrigerator and the temperature of the room in which the dough is to sit before shaping. Newton's Law of Cooling, which also applies in reverse to heating, says that the temperature of an object changes at a rate proportional to its temperature and the temperature of its surrounding environment. To calculate that rate of change you need a starting temperature and some other data points that, with a scientific calculator and understanding how to use differential equations, you can actually calculate how long it will take for the object (such as a dough ball) to reach a particular temperature. Tom Lehmann says that the dough should be above 50 degrees F to shape without running the risk of bubbling. Since your dough is likely to be at a higher temperature coming out of the refrigerator (if your refrigerator is anything like mine) than a dough coming out of a professional cooler, it will take your dough less time to get above 50 degrees F than where a cooler is used.
I personally shoot for a temperature of between 55-60 degrees F. Obviously, the time to reach that temperature will be shorter in summer than in winter. But one way to do a rough calculation is to see how fast the temperature rises in a fixed period, such as a five minute period, and use that figure to extrapolate out to the desired temperature. The process is exponential rather than linear, but it will be close enough for your purposes over a 1-2 hour total time period. So, for example, if the temperature of the dough coming out of the refrigerator is at 50 degrees F and you are shooting for 55 degrees F, and the temperature rises 1 degree within the first 5 minutes, it will take roughly 50 minutes for the dough to reach 60 degrees F. I chose the numbers for this example for simplicity of the math, but, in actuality, at this time of year, where cooler room temperatures prevail, the rate or increase is much slower, more like 0.5-0.6 degrees F over a 5 minute period. To get a more accurate figure you will have to learn how to implement the math of Newton's Law of Cooling. Most bakers simply learn through experience in making doughs at different room temperatures throughout the year.
FYI, the optimal finished dough temperature used to be 85-90 degrees F. But, as cooler technology improved and coolers became more efficient, the optimal finished dough temperature was dropped to 80-85 degrees F. So, unlike Newton's Law of Cooling, it is not a natural law.

Thanks Peter. I took some measurements today with my digital probe thermometer. My garage refigerator is 34 degrees and my kitchen is 42. The pies I made last night were from 24 hour proofing in the garage. The batch I made last weekend spend the 24 hours in the kitchen refirgerator. I felt that the batch last week that was proofed 24 hours in the kitchen was superior in yeast development crust with better flavor and bubbles. Up to this point I pulled the dough from the refrigerator 2 hours prior to baking and now I will work towards targeting the 50 degree plus point.
Another point/observation. The kitchen refigerator would naturally be opened much more in the course of 24 hours than the garage that was probably not opened at all.
Next time I will take measurements and report the results.

A point to keep in mind is that when someone like Tom Lehmann talks about a 24-hour retardation, 1 1/2-2 hours warmup before shaping, and 2-3 hours useful life thereafter, it is all in the context of having a cooler that can get down to 35-40 degrees F (he is, after all, talking about professional pizza operators, not home pizza makers). If you can get those temperatures in your refrigerator, whether the one in your garage or your kitchen, those numbers apply and should serve you well. However, if you can't get such temperatures, i.e., your refrigerator is warmer than a professional operator's cooler, then it is quite possible that you don't need numbers as high as those mentioned above since you are starting from a higher dough temperature. Maybe an 18-hour retardation period is enough, and maybe you don't need almost 2 hours of warmup, etc.
FYI, today I made a pizza dough and I took the temperature of the dough at 10-minute intervals after I brought it out of the refrigerator. The temperature of the dough was around 43.6 degrees F and room temperature was around 70 degrees F. I let the dough relax for a few minutes to adjust to its new environment, and then took its temperature at the 10-minute intervals. I decided that I would shoot for around 56 degrees F. I saw that the temperature rose about 1.3 degrees F in the first measured interval and extrapolated that, at that rate of temperature increase, it would take about 1 1/2 hours or so to get to the 56 degrees F benchmark. The final number was quite close, being off by about 5 minutes. So, it appears that that simple approach works reasonably well for our purposes. In some respects, this simple approach is better than some of the calculated results since you are dealing with a known quantity--a mass of dough of given weight--and the real-time changes in temperature. In our approach, it doesn't matter what the dough weight is so long as you take a few measurements and extrapolate from there.
I'm not advocating that everyone sit over a ball of dough and take repeated measurements. It is perhaps good enough to just take the dough's temperature once in a while (or just stick the stem of the thermometer into the dough) and when it reaches the targeted temperature, you are good to go. (I don't have one, but I understand that there are digital thermometers that can be preset to a particular temperature and emit a signal when the targeted temperature is hit.)
Your observation about the impact of opening the refrigerator door often and its effect on dough temperature is a valid one. That is one of the reasons why many professional pizza makers, like those who specialize in retarded NY style doughs, make their dough at night, when the workers aren't going in and out of the coolers all the time.
Keep us posted.

When you get an overwhelming craving for lasagna but don't have the time or energy to put together a casserole – do the next best thing and reach for your soup pot!
Sausage Lasagna Soup holds all the traditional flavors dear to my heart with hunks of sausage, zig-zaggy noodles, ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese swimming in an Italian-seasoned tomato broth. An immensely satisfying, deconstructed lasagna without all the work.
Piping hot soup is ladled over top of a scoop of ricotta placed in a bowl alongside chewy, broken-up lasagna noodles. I keep the noodles separate to prevent them from soaking up all the lovely broth you just put your tender loving care into making.
On top goes a generous sprinkling of Mozzarella cheese at which point you have a choice to make. Eat as is or place under the broiler so the top gets molten, bubbly and golden brown. That's the best. For the sake of taste testing I ate it both ways. I found them equally good although the broiler gives it an extra special touch that mimics baked lasagna.
Sausage Lasagna Soup holds all the traditional flavors of baked lasagna with hunks of sausage, zig-zaggy noodles, ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan cheese swimming in an Italian-seasoned tomato broth.
- Add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of a large soup or stock pot and heat on medium; add sausage and brown on all sides. Remove sausage to a large cutting board and allow to cool.
- Drain off the sausage grease and add a few tablespoons of oil over medium-low heat, add onion and green pepper; season with salt and pepper and saute until onion is translucent, stirring often. Add garlic, saute 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Add tomato paste, all the dried spices, parsley a teaspoon of sea salt and a 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, stir into onions and cook 3-4 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and chicken broth. Slice the sausage into 1/2-inch thick pieces and add back to pot. Simmer 35 minutes, tasting halfway through and seasoning as needed.
- Cook the pasta to al dente according to package directions. Drain and toss with some of the broth from the soup to keep them from sticking. To serve, add about 1/4 cup Ricotta cheese to the middle of a bowl, spoon pasta around it then ladle soup over top. Sprinkle with about 1/4 cup mozzarella and serve with Parmesan for sprinkling over top. To make these extra special use oven safe bowls and sprinkle the tops completely with mozzarella. Set the bowls on a baking sheet and place under broiler until tops are bubbly and golden brown, checking every 30 seconds until they are ready.

EPIC was created as a place for industry-based ethnographic practitioners to come together and take part in a conversation. Each year clear conversational themes have emerged, but these themes have never been tracked. Up to now, only those that have attended are close to the conversations. This year we have attempted to capture the meta-conversations: to extend EPIC2011 to a broader audience of those who were unable to attend; and to push the EPIC community forward by documenting our evolving conversation and understandings of ourselves. We have attempted to highlight themes of how our shared thinking manifested within the four days we spent together in Boulder Sept 18-21. And we hope this piques interests so readers dive further into the papers, podcasts and keynote videos. Read the full PDF for more details.
We now have podcasts of selected (i.e. most of the) talks at EPIC this year, including the keynotes. Podcasts are embedded in the page for each paper, and in paper session views. Or you can just go to the podcasts page and listen to everything. The podcasts often include questions that people asked, so it's a good recap of what happened. So if you're trying to convince co-workers to come to EPIC next year (you are, aren't you?), send them here.
Thanks to Sapient and our podcast editor, Thomas Wingo.

I am fond of Kombucha, if that counts!
Also of alcohol, a little too fond so I try to stay away from it
Sam. wrote:All I really drink on a daily basis is water and tea. I do drink a few homemade green smoothies each week. Since I never cook leafy greens (collards, kale, turnip greens, spinach, etc.) with my meals it's an easy way of getting all of their nutrition without the flavor that lots of people dislike.
I buy pre-washed and cut leafy greens from the grocery store and throw the bags straight in the freezer - this way they keep for a long time. To make a smoothie, I throw a few handfuls of whatever greens I have into my Vita-Mix blender, then top it off with a few handfuls of frozen fruit (pineapple, berries, grapes, bananas..) and some water or juice to blend it up. These smoothies are still sweet, but a little more toned down than fruit smoothies. I've gotten so used to them that regular fruit smoothies taste overly sweet to me. I think it's delicious and it makes me feel great knowing I'm getting not only a few servings of healthy fruit, but also plenty of super healthy leafy greens that I wouldn't otherwise eat!

From Sea to Summit - Page 2
Big Sur Basics
Big Sur encompasses over 90 miles of California coastline between Carmel and San Simeon. Reaching inland from the ocean for about 20 miles, it also includes the Santa Lucia Mountains, which rise over a vertical mile from the sea and contain hundreds of singletrack miles. "In Big Sur, rugged terrain and a feeling of isolation dominate," says Brian Rowlett, an adventure runner and a resident of Carmel Valley, which lies east of Carmel. "On a long run, you kind of disappear. You may know exactly where you are, but as far as the rest of the world is concerned, you're gone. If you don't come back, no one will stumble upon you. Not soon, anyway."
Highway One runs the north-to-south distance of Big Sur (and beyond) and serves as the region's singular access point, adding to the sensation of seclusion. The road itself is an engineer's miracle, roller coastering over ocean bluffs, meandering around yellow sand beaches and clinging precariously to sea cliffs.
Here and there are smatterings of private land containing eating establishments, inns and campgrounds serving Big Sur's tourists. Most of the real estate, though, is entrusted to either the California Department of Parks and Recreation or U.S. Forest Service. So extensive and remote is Big Sur that it also enshrines two wilderness areas.
Called by the Wild
Over and over, I skid into the gravel of the road's scenic pullouts. We stare without words into a cyan ocean. We gawk at the historic Bixby Bridge, a Depression-era public works project that provides automobile access to Big Sur, and the technicolor canyon it still spans. We sit on a bluff and watch sea otters twirl and toss kelp like children swinging Wii remotes. We peer over a cliff just in time to see a swell pummel it in a spin cycle of whitewater.
When we can't stand it anymore, we peel off our traveling clothes, lace up our running shoes and turn our toes up the Vicente Flat Trail. It climbs hard and fast at a barely runnable grade, and I am working to keep up with Bryon. He's a two-time, top-10 Leadville 100 finisher with powerful thighs the size of railroad ties, but he is using them to put only a moderate hurt on me today.
Following the trail's sea-view switchbacks, we run through waist high grasses and the orange glow of afternoon sun refracts through salty air. The guidebook warned us of rampant poison oak on Big Sur's trails and immediately we recognize its three-leaf warning. We prance around the poisonous plants while watching pelicans circle the ocean. A thousand feet up, Bryon says, "Can't hear the crashing waves up here," just as a group of gulls makes squawking swoops in the wind.

Privacy must be protected
We are reminded frequently that the federal government can be the enemy of our freedoms.
One of those freedoms is the right to privacy. Revelations of domestic spying by the National Security Agency, including snooping among millions of email messages and telephone records, have made many Americans wonder how secure we are in that right.
NSA officials, President Barack Obama and some members of Congress assure us we have nothing to fear. Americans with no connections to foreign terrorists are not targets of the spying, they say.
But late last month, the NSA had to admit that is not true. Some Americans have been targets of spying by NSA operatives – for all the wrong reasons.
There have been situations in which NSA resources were used for operatives' personal reasons, it was revealed. One agency analyst was caught using the government's spying equipment to track a former spouse.
NSA official John DeLong said the agency takes such abuse "very seriously." Offenders are disciplined, the NSA says.
But no one has said how and when the rogue operatives were disciplined. Were they fired, as would happen in the private sector? Or were they merely admonished and told not to do it again?
And when were they disciplined? Immediately upon discovery of their misdeeds? Or, again more likely, only after the episodes became public knowledge?
While NSA officials may not want to reveal the rogue employees' names – even though they should – they should at least provide information on the disciplinary process.
Otherwise, there is no reason to believe others in the NSA will not decide they can abuse our right to privacy without worrying about punishment.

About the Author: Major General (Ret) Scott Grationcurrently serves as the President's Special Envoy to Sudan. (August 21, 2009)
Earlier, I wrote about the unique opportunity we have to work together to achieve real progress in Sudan. I am currently on a trip to Sudan, Ethiopia, and Egypt to take next steps in the process of implementing the CPA and advancing peace in Darfur. I am writing to you now from Khartoum, where I just arrived after spending the first several days of my trip in Southern Sudan. We're happy to report that we have already made significant progress. Yesterday, I served as witness to the initialing of an important bilateral agreement between the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) and the National Congress Party (NCP).
After several months of ongoing discussions mediated by the United States in Washington and in Sudan, the two parties have reached agreement on ten of the remaining twelve issues standing in the way of full implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). Points of agreement include:
• Abyei: The parties agree to immediately implement the Abyei Tribunal decision and to demarcate the Abyei boundary as determined by the Tribunal decision.
• Border Demarcation: The parties agree to demarcate the North-South boundary line by 30 September 2009, in accordance with CPA provisions and timelines.
• Security: The Government of National Unity (GoNU) will avail resources for Joint Integrated Units (JIUs) as called for in the CPA.
• Wealth Sharing: The parties will ask the GoNU to request the International Monetary Fund to review the implementation of the two banking systems under one central bank, as called for in the CPA, The GoNU will transfer the full share of oil revenue to the Government of Southern Sudan (GoSS) in a timely manner as authorized in the CPA.
• Blue Nile and Southern Kordofan: The parties agree that there is a role for both the national government and the state governments in the popular consultations to be held in these states.
• Elections: The parties commit to conducting free and credible elections in April 2010, the date agreed on by the National Election Commission.
• Democratic Transformation: The parties agree to identify laws that are potentially inconsistent with the CPA for review by the parties by 15 September 2009.
• Making Unity Attractive: The parties agree to begin the national reconciliation process as called for in the CPA and Presidential Decree and Directives issued on 27 December 2007.
• National Competencies: The GoNU and GoSS and the states will operate within their areas of competency, as outlined in the CPA, and affect any agreements made by the Political-Executive Committee.
• Darfur: The parties agree that the conflict in Darfur is a political problem and of national concern, and both are committed to redoubling efforts within the GoNU to resolve the conflict.
The two outstanding issues that remain unresolved are the census and the referendum. We will return to Sudan for additional discussions on these points in September. These are difficult issues, and we look forward to seeking your advice and support upon my return from this visit.
On Friday, I will travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to meet with key Darfuri armed movements to build cohesion and unification in support of the Doha peace process. We are very optimistic about the opportunity to achieve real progress, and I am eager to update you on what we are able to achieve there.
Thank you for your continued interest and dedication, Scott

GoKnow Darfur......
Isn't it a little naive to be shaking hands on Darfur/Sudan...so soon after the horrendous genocide, refugee diaspora, and displacement of a region? Cohesion and unification are products only reached after the perpetrators are brought to justice, and the victims have been made whole. Are we risking complicity in the greater crime of self-delusion?
Anna A. in Washington, DC writes:
While the points of agreement reached in the bilateral negotiations all seem to be positive steps toward the goal of implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), the fact that they come so late in the life of the six-year interim period is a cause for concern. Given that the South has not yet received the benefit of important promises made in the CPA, including security measures such as Joint Integrated Units and the much-needed oil wealth that was to be shared between North and South, it now stands at a serious disadvantage with the referendum just 14 months away. It is also hard to imagine how the parties have waited four and a half years to assess national laws for conformity with CPA obligations. It's the fourth quarter here, and the clock is ticking.

Lowcountry Smothered Pork Chops
- 4 center-cut pork chops, 1-inch thick
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Ground cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, spread on a plate
- 2 medium green bell peppers, stemmed, cored, and membranes removed, cut into strips
- 2 yellow onions, trimmed, cut lengthwise
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 to 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
Trim the excess fat from the chops and season well with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Lightly roll the chops in flour, shake off the excess, and slip them into the pan. Brown well, about 3 minutes per side, and remove them to a plate.
Add the bell peppers and onions, to the skillet, and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about half a minute longer. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet. Add chops to pan and place vegetables on top of pork chops. Pour in the broth and sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce. Cover pan with foil and allow to simmer for 45 minutes or until chops are tender.

Clear vision?
By DEANN NELSON
Did you know that a grand scale, national experiment – that's the whole country – is being performed on your children without your parental consent?
Your children are serving as guinea pigs for this unproven, untested Common Core State Standards Initiative. Yes, you read that right. Not one of them – that's President Obama, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, every member of the New York state Board of Regents, and the Commissioner of Education – knows if the Common Core works; it never has been tried before. They say: Children will thrive; ALL will be ready for college or a career; Our country's economy will be "vibrant." Yet, everything we have learned about Common Core says these are lies. The truth: this initiative dumbs down education for your children.
Common Core State Standards Initiative is an indoctrination program. Its creators, President Obama, and Secretary Duncan think children should focus upon social justice and oppression issues worldwide.
Our government and the not-for-profit organizations pushing this new-old philosophy want children when they are young and malleable in order to mold and shape their minds. Isn't this the technique used by 1930s Germany and the Soviets?
Learning has a new thrust: Change beliefs, feelings, values, and behaviors. Reject the past, Create new values, patterns, attitudes, and beliefs. Focus on emotions. Reconstruct the student's habits. Students are to be governed by their habits, not by their intelligence. This transformation – its rightful name is Social Engineering – is hiding, invisible, in our schools through Common Core. What's missing from this new learning? Oh, yes, academics, knowledge, content, Truths, analytical thinking, logic reasoning.
The Board of Regents and the Commissioner of Education are pushing Common Core on school districts, which, in turn, are pushing it on children and parents.
Tragically, many superintendents, teachers, and school board members do not have a clue as to the mind-altering destructive agenda of Common Core. Unfortunately, those school board members who are beginning to educate themselves about Common Core are wringing their hands, saying, "What can we do, our superintendent is pushing Common Core?"
School boards, heed the words of Chief Justice John Roberts: "The states are separate and independent sovereigns. Some times they have to act like it." Fire your superintendent if he or she tries to push Common Core in your district!
Take back local control of your district by the legal authority granted to school boards through the New York State Constitution and Education Law, Article 35, Section 1709, Sections 3 and 5.
Have your school district attorney take legal action on behalf of your district. Make Chautauqua County the model for ridding our schools of Common Core. Encourage other counties to come on board.
Our very liberty is threatened. Are we to be weak and allow our freedoms to be desecrated and taken from us by federal and state edicts?
Our government was created to be the servant of the people. Instead, it has become the people's master, with the individual existing to serve the purposes of government. Isn't that called totalitarianism? What will future generations say about us if we don't stand up and fight for our schools? Shame on us if we are apathetic!
Write or e-mail Assemblyman Al Graf, NY Assembly Education Committee: 991 Main St., Suite 202, Holbrook, NY 11741 or email@example.com. He, along with Assemblyman Andy Goodell, is working to repeal Common Core. Sign Graf's petition at: www.fixnyschools.com.
