NEW YORK TIMES NEW LOW

When Muslims took offense at a satirical cartoon convention and tried to shoot it up the New York Times would not publish the cartoon that triggered the attack.  They wanted to be "sensitive."  But they did publish the cartoons of the Pope covered with condoms.  I guess they thought that was "funny."  Is it any wonder they can't sell papers?....Medicineman!

SUPREME JUSTIS????

Today SCOTUS handed the Executive branch another victory in its effort to manipulate the US Constitution.  Instead of the three branches of our Federal Government doing the job handed to them by the Founders SCOTUS has chosen to join hands with Executive against Legislative.
Yesterday they said that Legislative did not really mean what they said in the ACA so they changed it.  Today SCOTUS decided that those states with laws that stated "Marriage is between Man and Woman" actually meant to include gays and lesbians as well.  What else can we look for?????medicineman

The Court Did It Again!

Today the USSP, Supreme Court of this United States in all their Wisdom? took it upon themselves to decide that Congress really did not mean what the ACA said.  According to the lawyers on the BIG bench the U.S. Congress really meant the subsidies to pay your premiums be available for EVERYONE, whether or not it was a State Exchange.  I guess it's just too hard for this lowly citizen to understand how judges think??????Medicineman.

Fathers Day

To all you fathers in the reading public, listen up!  Your children will do their best this coming weekend to make you feel like the most important person in their life.  And you just might be!  

You contribute so much more to your child's well-being than you may think.  And often it is just those silent and hidden examples of life.  Your child will grow up following you around and imitating everything you do; from expressions to manners to language, etc.  If you do not think that is a good idea then you better do something about it!

We live in a time when life has become "selective" to the point that we terminate some million pregnancies every year, leaving all those fathers without a son or daughter to love him and look up to him at this time of the year, and that is tragic.

Children need a father figure in their life.  The son needs Dad to teach him how to be a man and the daughter needs Dad to demonstrate how a real man behaves, giving her the ability to make good choices.  Therefore, you are so important!

To all you young men still thinking about your life ahead and your choice of a mate, remember that any man can be a father, but it takes dedication and hard work to be a Dad!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY......Medicineman

D-DAY---REMEMBERED!

THE WEATHER WAS SO BAD ON JUNE 4, 1944 THEY COULD NOT GO.  THE THOUSANDS OF TROOPS HAD BEEN LOADED ON THE SHIPS READY TO GO AND STANDING BY IN THE ENGLISH CHANNEL WHEN THE ORDER CAME TO WAIT.  ASSAULT TROOPS AND THEIR GEAR WERE CRAMMED INTO EVERY SPACE AND MANY WERE EXPERIENCING SEA-SICKNESS.  THEY LEFT THE NEXT NIGHT IN CALMER WATERS BUT THAT CHANGED WHEN THEY APPROACHED NORMANDY  EARLY THE NEXT MORNING.  THEY LANDED IN ROUGH SEAS AND PAID THE PRICE.  IT WAS JUNE 6,1944.
EACH MEMBER OF THE INVASION FORCE RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING LETTER FROM:            SUPREME HEADQUARTERS ALLIED EXPEDITIONARY FORCE
YOU ARE ABOUT TO EMBARK UPON THE GREAT CRUSADE, TOWARD WHICH YOU HAVE STRIVEN THESE MANY MONTHS.  THE EYES OF THE WORLD  ARE UPON YOU.  THE HOPES AND PRAYERS OF LIBERTY-LOVING PEOPLE EVERYWHERE MARCH WITH YOU.  IN COMPANY WITH OUR BRAVE ALLIES AND BROTHERS-IN-ARMS ON OTHER FRONTS, YOU WILL BRING ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE GERMAN WAR MACHINE, THE ELIMINATION OF THE NAZI TYRANNY OVER THE OPPRESSED PEOPLE OF EUROPE, AND THE SECURITY OF OURSELVES IN A FREE WORLD.
YOUR TASK WILL NOT BE AN EASY ONE.  YOUR ENEMY IS WELL TRAINED, WELL EQUIPPED AND BATTLE HARDENED.  HE WILL FIGHT SAVAGELY.
BUT THIS IS THE YEAR 1944!  MUCH HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE NAZI TRIUMPHS OF 1940-41.  THE UNITED NATIONS HAVE INFLICTED UPON THE GERMANS GREAT DEFEATS, IN OPEN BATTLE, M,AN-TO-MAN.  OUR AIR OFFENSIVE HAS SERIOUSLY REDUCED THEIR STRENGTH IN THE AIR AND AND THEIR CAPACITY TO WAGE WAR ON THE GROUND.  OUR HOME FRONTS HAVE GIVEN US AN OVERWHELMING SUPERIORITY IN WEAPONS AND MUNITIONS OF WAR, AND PLACED AT OUR DISPOSAL GREAT RESERVES OF TRAINED FIGHTING MEN,  THE TIDE HAS TURNED!  THE FREE MEN OF THE WORLD ARE MARCHING TOGETHER TO VICTORY!
I HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE IN YOUR COURAGE, DEVOTION TO DUTY AND SKILL IN BATTLE.  WE WILL ACCEPT NOTHING LESS THEN FULL VICTORY!
GOOD LUCK!  AND LET US ALL BESEECH THE BLESSING OF ALMIGHTY GOD UPON THIS GREAT AND NOBLE UNDERTAKING.  SIGNED: DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER

I WONDER IF????

Recently the country has been exposed to a number of events that give me pause.  For instance:  When a Christian Baker explains that he does not bake wedding cakes for two men who want to get "married" he is called that awful name "Homophobic" and hauled into court.  Then  when a Christian Florist refuses a couple of the same sex when they ask for flowers for their "wedding" there is such an uproar along with court costs and fines and ridicule, etc.  Both cases because of their religious beliefs.  But, of course, with a new word like Homophobic" everyone wants to use it. 
What I wonder is what would happen if those same couples had approached a Muslim Baker and Florist?  But I think I know why they don't!.....Medicineman
