"Hail to thee, blithe Spirit! Bird thou never wert, That from Heaven, or near it, Pourest thy full heart In profuse strains of unpremeditated art."
Sharia law NOT, says T. More Law Center.
The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) announced today that the City of Dearborn, its Mayor, John B. OReilly, its Chief of Police, Ronald Haddad, 17 City police officers, and two executives of the American Arab Chamber of Commerce were named as defendants in a ninety-six page federal civil rights lawsuit filed in the Federal District Court in Detroit this morning.
Thou shalt not rule Christian preaching out of order.
I like these people and what they are aiming at, but even if you don’t, you have to admit they are self-propelled:
Thank you to the hundreds of Tea Party Patriots from Chicago and across the state of Illinois who traveled to Madison on Saturday to defend the taxpayers and parents of Wisconsin. We organized car pools, drove our friends and neighbors and paid our own way to get to the rally. We weren’t bused in by Organizing for America, SEIU, or the Democrat National Committee. This is a critical battle in the fight between freedom and big government and it will be repeated in state after state across the country,
they said in an email to supporters. No OFA or DNC support, take note of that. And I hardly think the RNC is in on it either. The latter is largely looking over its shoulder at these people, or running to keep up, which is how it’s supposed to be.
Religious leaders offering sanctuary for Wisconsin Democrats
Leaders include Catholic, Jewish and Protestant faiths
Not kidding. It’s three AP paragraphs out of Madison, tantalizing uninformative. But do you remember when “sanctuary” meant beyond the altar rail for Catholics and the body of the church for Protestants?
Now it’s three hots and a flop for the wretched refuse of the teeming shore of the lake called Michigan and points west.
Wait, BizTimes.com for Milwaukee and SE Wis. has Rev. Jason Coulter, pastor of Ravenswood United Church of Christ in Chicago, and Rabbi Bruce Elder of Congregation Hafaka in Glencoe, Ill. as two of the plucky clergymen.
Wow! Just discovered a major change in the replacement mass scheduled for December that no one has mentioned so far. It’s in “The Introductory Rites,” first thing:
1. When the people are gathered, the Priest approaches the altar with the ministers while the Entrance Chant is sung.
When he has arrived at the altar, after making a profound bow with the ministers, the Priest venerates the altar with a kiss and, if appropriate, incenses the cross and the altar. Then, with the ministers, he goes to the chair.
When the Entrance Chant is concluded, the Priest and the faithful, standing, sign themselves with the Sign of the Cross, while the Priest, facing the people, says:
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.1
The people reply:
Amen.
It’s a stunner, right? What? you don’t see the big change? Look closer. Read it again. Now get it? No? Come on, do I have to explain everything?
THERE’S NO “GOOD MORNING”!
WI Republican state senator to Dem, whom he knows as a colleague:
Hopper [the Republican] says he reminded Taylor [the Dem] that Republicans were out of power not too long ago, when Democrats controlled the state Assembly, Senate and governor’s office. “There were bills I was adamantly opposed to,” Hopper says, “and we didn’t run away.”
How you argue against that point, I dunno. The crux of it:
At the heart of all this, Republicans and Democrats are realizing there might be a gap between them that is bigger than they realized. To Republicans, the budget fight has involved the widespread shirking of responsibilities: teachers walking out on students, legislators running away from their offices, even doctors abandoning medical standards to make excuses for perfectly healthy teacher/protesters. To Democrats, the fight has touched a core issue; anything is justified to preserve union benefits.
Or, as Saul Alinsky said, “If the end doesn’t justify the means, what the hell does?” It’s making social concerns trump personal morality.
These docs teach at U of WI Med Schl? Egad!
Its sad, but what puzzles me [Publius at Big Govt dot
com] most is how in the world three of the four physicians I can identify from these videos and other media reports are faculty members of UWs Family Medicine department, and one is a senior resident in that same department. Its a good training program, committed to providing sorely-needed primary care doctors to the state of Wisconsin. It teaches professionalism, and its faculty are supposed to model integrity. What were they thinking?Theyve managed to belittle a public trust between physicians, employers and patients. A doctors sick note is a serious document. It represents an employers desire to verify through a respected, independent, medically qualified third party the fact of an illness and the true need for convalescence. In the videos now circulating online, we witness multiple members of a noted family medicine department trash one of the well-recognized rights and privileges of their profession, with little forethought as to the consequences.
They dumb doctors’ notes down. Who will ever believe them? (It’s like what has happened to leftism-infected [sick?] media, a squandering of credibility.)
WI-Dem Sen Erpenbach, envisioning or threatening heavy day of protesting if Repubs go ahead with “key” non-spending legislation without Dems, who apparently are not needed for non-spending legislation:
I think tomorrow could . . . be a long, tough day in Madison.
Long and tough not for Sen. E., we presume, unless he’s willing to evacuate IL.
A blog dedicated to exposing a liberal priest-advisor to bishops! What next?
