The Sisters of Mercy of Silver Spring, Maryland, have released a 2014 midterm election guide that urges voters to favor candidates who support amnesty, climate change, gun control, and Pentagon budget cuts. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/10/08/Catholic-Nuns-Release-2014-Election-Guide-Urging-Voters-To-Support-Amnesty-Gun-Control-Climate-Change
This isn't a revelation to me, the fact that Nuns are on the planet Pluto when it comes to issues facing the American people. It's been my distinct pleasure to relate, personally, to a sister of the Church exactly how I felt. "Sister", I said, "You're trying tell everyone else how to live and you've never had to buy a loaf of bread in your life".

Do Not Call Me--Ever
Twice in the last six months I've called what's supposed to be a 'do not call' list. You are aware of these come on calls because you, like me, receive anywhere from ten to fifteen phone messages on a daily basis from taped recorded voices wanting to sell me things I don't need. If they aren't taped recorded then they're folks from the Philippines telling me my Microsoft server needs to be updated. Why they do this is beyond me because I can't understand a word they're saying because I can hear a hundred other voices in the background.
This age of instant information amazes me as to the type of calls I receive. When I was in my forties and fifties requests centered around vacations spots in the Bahamas and river cruises around the world. Now, virtually every phone message deals with old age health products and home security systems. One call I haven't heard deals with erectile dysfunction. I'd listen to that one.
So, what to do. Obviously, the 'do not call list' doesn't work. My suspicion is whoever runs it is in cahoots with the people who bug me. This makes sense doesn't it?
My next question is, who would buy from these clowns except the elderly with Alzheimer's? I hope the taped messages are monitored to see how long it is before they hear 'click'. I recently read there's a scam whereby as soon as you pick up your phone you are automatically charged $20. There are, I suspect, some folks in this country who don't have caller ID on there phones but it's always a pain to get up, run to the phone, then look to see who's bugging you. My suggestion is if you don't know the area code don't answer. Another giveaway is when your caller ID reads, 'anonymous' or 1-800.
In my house we subscribe to Time-Warner. Did you know you can call the company and ask them to place the in call number on your TV screen and it costs nothing? This is about the only thing Time-Warner does for free aside from providing rotten service.
I'll give it a go again today, getting on the computer and once again sending in a request to the 'do not call' folks knowing it'll be a waste of time. It isn't the first and last time I'll be buffaloed. I'm used this treatment. It's a part of life.

Feminists Say This Is A Sexual Attack
Feminists in France are demanding that an iconic statue based on the famous VJ-day photo is torn down because it ‘portrays a sexual assault’.
The sculpture, which honours a photograph of a kiss in Times Square that captured New York’s celebration as the Second World War ended, is currently on display outside the Caen Memorial Museum near Pegasus Bridge in Normandy.
It has been given to the museum on a one-year loan by the Sculpture Foundation in California to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2783251/French-feminists-fury-demand-Normandy-statue-based-famous-VJ-day-photo-torn-portrays-sexual-assault.html
Truer Words Were Never Spoke
Bill 'Bubba' Clinton is spending valuable time in Arkansas. He's campaigning for Dems around the state, especially for Sen. Mark Pryor. The incumbent senator is in big trouble, down by 4 points with a month to go, when it comes to his re-election chances. When a Dem is in a tightly contested race The Philanderer is the first person called upon help out. I picked up on Clinton's speech of yesterday as Pryor stood next to him. Clinton said, "Vote with your heart when you vote for Pryor". Isn't that how this nation got in trouble in the first place? I have a novel approach to this voting thing: How about voting with your brain.

Virginia: As Bad As California, Illinois And New York
CNSNews.com) -- Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring says that state health inspectors are not required to report the statutory rape of girls aged 13 to15 if abortion clinic paperwork does not indicate the abuser was a parent or caretaker.
According to Virginia law, anyone who "carnally knows, without the use of force, a child thirteen years of age or older but under fifteen years of age, such person shall be guilty of a Class 4 felony” punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
But Herring says that the fact of a minor girl’s pregnancy alone, “without additional information or evidence, is not sufficient to create a reason to suspect that the child is an ‘abused or neglected child’” under Virginia’s mandatory reporter statute, which requires certain professionals to report suspected child abuse. http://cnsnews.com/news/article/zoey-dimauro/virginia-ag-abortion-clinic-inspectors-don-t-have-report-statutory-rape

This Is Scary: English, Spanish, Somalian, Oh My
Little occurrences that happen to me during the day are sources of irritation. For instance, when I go to the drive-in part of the bank to secure some cash and after I insert my debit card this is what I see:
Press for English, Spanish, Somalia.
For the longest period I was ambivalent about the Spanish sign. When the bank inserted Somalia I swore out loud, "WTF"!
I shouldn't be surprised since Columbus, Ohio and the surrounding burbs contain the largest number of these folks after Minneapolis. I suspect we then have the second number of anti-American Muslims in the that group, also. Luckily, the great percentage of these immigrants live in the southwest part of the city commonly referred to as Little Kentucky. I.e. There's really no reason to go there.
In reading Breitbart this morning there was a story about the numbers of non-English speaking people in America. Why, it's almost like we natives are foreigners in our own country. At least Native American Indians had the decency to adopt our language(at the point of a gun).
"An all-time high of nearly 62 million U.S. residents – or about one in five people – now speak a language other than English while at home, a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found". http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2014/10/05/Report-62-Million-People-In-U-S-Now-Speak-Language-Other-Than-English-At-Home
