Fenway Erupts to Honor “BOSTON STRONG”

Perhaps we should start by teaching that our freedoms make us exceptional, and instead of being ashamed of our exceptionalism, let us stand proud! May we always remember the way we felt on 9/12/01 and how proud we are today. Today, this day, we are all “BOSTON STRONG!!!”

If True, Why Did The First Lady Visit the Saudi Nat’l Who has been Labelled a “National Security Risk” While She was in Boston

This is being reported in the Saudi media:

Report: Alharbi visited by Michelle Obama in Hospital

Posted by Shoebat Foundation

Okaz, the same prominent Saudi newspaper, that published photos of Abdul Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi Al-Harbi in the hospital after the Boston marathon bombings, is now reporting that the Saudi national was also visited by the first lady of the United States, Michelle Obama during his hospital stay.

Here is a screen shot from the Okaz story:

***********************************************************************************

Then, of course, Secretary Napaolitano “refused” to even answer any questions about the reported Saudi and his deportation.

Her arrogance is stunning.

We Are “Boston Strong”

I have had the opportunity to live in Boston, to walk the Back Bay, Beacon Hill, the Freedom Trail.

Even as the police and FBI target the suspect that remains at large after today’s early-morning shoot out that left his older brother (and co- terrorist) dead, the resolve of the people of New England is one that will not allow these cruel acts of violence to cut away at the freedoms that we so cherish in this great country. The birthplace of our Revolution that led to our Independence, Boston is the heart of the battle of freedom.

So as the families of Ms. Campbell, the young Martin Richard, the BU grad student from China, and now the officer from MIT mourn their losses, Boston and the country mourn with them. But Boston, and the country, will, as we did on 9/11 and the days that followed, remain forever “BOSTON STRONG!!”

Breaking: Explosions near Finish Line of Boston Marathon

In the finish line area of the Boston Marathon, several explosions have occurred within the last hours. There a many injured, and at least three have been confirmed dead. All members of the Boston Police Bomb Squad have been ordered to the finish line area near the famed Copley Square.

Reports are still coming in….

New York City, as a measure of precaution, has put all bridges and landmarks under its high level security procedures.

UPDATE: Massachusetts General Hospital ER is reporting that there have been @ least ten people brought in with missing limbs. 3:58PM

“They are OUR Kids, Not YOUR Kids”…. Ok, Then you Argue about the Homework

Is this a different take o Hillary’s “It Takes A Village”????

High School Teen Believes He Is Bullied Because He is a Convservatives……. By Adults

Via Freedom Works:

I am currently in my freshman year of high school and the incidents are happening more frequently and I believe are more severe.  As you can imagine, the ongoing pressure and bullying has been disturbing to me, my friends and my family.

Just before the 2010 Midterm election, I was on the front page of the local newspaper for my political volunteer work and my teachers noticed. One of my seven teachers made it very clear that she dissaproved of my civic engagement. In a period of two months, my Geography teacher frequently would take me aside after school for a few minutes and tell me how stupid, wrong and misguided I was for being Republican. The harassment with this specific teacher got so bad, I had to switch schools halfway through the year.  At this time I was only 12 years old. To my knowledge, this teacher was not disciplined at all for her actions.

A Simple Message: The Sermon on the Mount

Mt 5:1-12a

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him. He began to teach them, saying:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.”

SCOTUS & DOMA: If They Strike It Down, It will Not Be the Victory Gay Marriage Advocates Are Seeking

From today’s arguments before the Court:

 

Kennedy said the Defense of Marriage Act appears to intrude on the power of states that have chosen to recognize same-sex marriages. When so many federal statutes are affected, “which in our society means that the federal government is intertwined with the citizens’ day-to-day life, you are at real risk of running in conflict with what has always been thought to be the essence of the state police power, which is to regulate marriage, divorce, custody,” Kennedy said.

If the court does strike down part of DOMA, it would represent a victory for gay rights advocates. But it would be something short of the endorsement of gay marriage nationwide that some envisioned when the justices agreed in December to hear the federal case and the challenge to California’s ban on same-sex marriage.

The commentary from the Justices today is different than yesterday’s when discussing Prop 8. From my perspective, gay couples should receive the federal benefits afforded to married couples if they are in a documented committed relationship, i.e., civil unions.

SCOTUS Already Ruled on the Definition of Marriage as One Man & One Woman in Murphy v Ramsey

from the FreeRepublic:

In Murphy v. Ramsey (1885) SCOTUS defined marriage as “the union of one man and one woman…” 3/27/2013 | Laissez-Faire Capitalist

Posted on Wednesday, March 27, 2013 12:37:31 PM by Laissez-faire capitalist

In Murphy v. Ramsey, SCOTUS defined marriage as “The union for life of one man and one woman in the holy estate of matrimony.”

In Maynard v. Hill, SCOTUS spoke of marriage as being between one man and one woman.

Remember, liberals, Stari Decisis….right? Chuck E. Cheese Schumer seems to like to invoke those words whenever it suits him.

Marriage should be redefined, and those that are against redefining it are bigots? Then why are liberals bigotted against consenting ADULT Polygamists? Marriage is about love and equality? Then why don’t liberals love consenting adult polygamists/polygamy and desire equality for them, too? We’re talking about adults here.

Why do liberals act as if they only want to redefine something so far and no further — but it never seems to end up that way?????

Liberals are NEVER done when it comes to changing/redefining things…..
