Something light to start off the day! I referenced some of these a few days ago. I’m sorry, but for a Catholic, some of these references are absolutely hilarious.
Before you view the videos, you’ll probably enjoy them if you know the following:
– Recently, the Church updated its responses during mass to more closely match the original Latin. It seems that some people are having a hard time with the changes. This includes using the word “consubstantial,” along with several other phrases said during mass.
– Discerning/discernment: the term used when trying to figure out if religious life is the path to take instead of marriage
– Vocation: can include the vocation of marriage, but many use it to refer to a religious life
– Some people hold hands during the recitation of the “Our Father” during mass. Personally, I don’t care for it, unless it’s my Hubby or family member. Sometimes, other parishioners don’t get it when I don’t extend my hand for theirs. I’ve been tapped rather forcefully on the arm. This posture is not written in the procedures for mass, so it’s not required, and it’s not what I grew up doing.
– Confirmation saint/name: When receiving the sacrament of confirmation, it is a custom to find a saint with traits you admire and want to emulate. During confirmation, you can receive this “saint’s name” to add to your own. (PS: Mine was Cecilia)
– St. Anthony is the patron saint of lost items
First, the girls:
Now, from the guys:
And this one appears to be from a youth retreat – Catholic pick up lines:
I hope you enjoy these as much as I have!
And now, for our Mormon friends:
NOW, we can hash out world events.

Bonecrusher,
The best way to up the omega-3s in eggs is to let the chickens be free range. That way they receive their sustenance from insects and not corn derived feed which is high in omega-6s. Now there are no rules on labeling so pretty much anyone can call their eggs free range. I try to grab some at the farmers market when I can or the folks I purchase my raw milk from. Whole Foods does have an assortment, but they cost a fortune ($4-$6/dz). The ones at Whole Foods still do not have the really deep yellow yolk like you will find at the farmers market. -
Bashar Assad’s BiL and the Syrian Defense Minister came down with a very acute case of high-velocity heavy metal and falling concrete poisoning, leading to sudden deadness syndrome.
The People’s Front of Syria, the Syrian People’s Front, the Syrian Liberation Army, the Liberation Army of Syria, the Syrian People’s Army, the People’s Army of Syria, the People’s Liberation Army of Syria, the Syrian People’s Liberation Army, and several small splinter groups have all claimed responsibility. -

There are very stringent rules on labeling nutritional information. The company is risking their very existence making such a claim ifn itwernt true. I would imagine that they feed the birds insects, prolly crickets because they can be farm raised in large volume, perhaps even worms, in addition to seeds/meal.
I probably should find out how they accomplish the laudable goal.
I eat a lot of eggs (2 doz/week) and it is in my best interest to eat the best ones I can. -

There are very stringent rules on labeling nutritional information.
Au contraire mon ami. That is partially true on the nutritional content front in terms of listing values such as fat, carb, protein, cholesterol, etc. However, Kristen M. at Food Renegade has this to say.
Don’t be fooled by labels, though. It’s nearly impossible to find real eggs in the supermarket, despite packaging labels like “organic,” “free range,” “all natural,” or “cage free.”
Also check out her Decoding Labels series wherein she peels back the meaning of what is written on labels. Even though label laws have gotten more stringent in the past 10 years or so, the manufacturers still have quite a bit of wiggle room to gloss over certain things. She has one up this week on V8 Splash Strawberry Kiwi.

Labels???? Labels you say???? Who worries about labels – not me!! with 2 dozen chickens I got mucho “yard eggs”. When cooler anywhere from 10 to 14 a day and now in this “Texas” sauna 6 to 8 a day. How many ways can one answer “What’s to eat?”

Cowboy, do your home-laid eggs have dark yellow yolks? It sounds like fun to have chickens loose in the yard. -

For the past 17 years I didn’t know they came any other way. Flat will not eat eggs when traveling or away from home lessen I brung them with me. -
Good morning Hamsters. Salvation is hours away on fixing the AC. The blower motor arrived, and we’re on the list for intallation any time after 10:30.
Meanwhile clouds are gathering again, starting out as friendly fluffy white but changing into dense cotton candy or piles of cotton balls, all getting taller and taller and spreading out. Some are already light bluish gray at the bottoms. Looks to be overcast soon, which is welcome in keeping the temps down in the house, but there might be consequences outside where the ground is still rather damp.
Did anyone watch the Cruz-Dewhurst “debate” last night? I did not–have seen enough.
Anyway the forum Greater Fort Bend County Tea Party hosted on July 7th was far more informative and civilized. -
I think I saw chickens running around inside Cbr’s house last time I was there.
Little horses, too. -
Yabbut did he have a sturdy well-made rain gauge in his flowerbed? Inquiring minds want to know.
-
No dang flower beds here, just a garden. No time round here to be foolin with anything non-editable or resource generating. As for rain gauge – hung on them sturdy fence posts in several places making sure of what mother nature delivers so I can watch the hay meadow grow.
-
I have audible rain gauges around my place. If we get any rain that’s all the neighbors talk about. 🙂
-
Cowboy, I am sure you have a proper rain gauge. I’m not even growing any edibles and I have my rain gauge mounted near the top of the fence.
Just giving Shannon some grief.

Texas had another expert, Prof. Daron Shaw, conduct a representative survey of a sample of the voters that DOJ claimed had no ID. He found that 73 percent reported they actually had a Texas driver’s license. The survey also showed that 39 percent had passports and 18 percent had military IDs. Once the voters over age 65 who don’t need an ID to vote were eliminated, the survey revealed that 1.9 percent of whites, 0.96 percent of Hispanics, and 1.23 percent of blacks will have to obtain a free photo ID. Shaw concludes that “there is no statistically significant difference in ID possession rates amongst whites, blacks, and Hispanics” contrary to the false claims made publicly by DOJ (his report also showed that Catalist’s race-matching data is largely flawed – only 68 percent of voters that the Ickes firm claimed are African-American self-identified as black).

#15 TexMo: I sent an inquiry to Kristen, thanks for the link.

I have always had a lot of respect for the guys who are running David Dewhurst’s campaign, but I’m starting to see now why Rick Perry had no chance of getting elected President. The same team running Dewhurst’s campaign ran Perry’s Presidential campaign and has stooped to what I thought would be an impossible low….
So now Dewhurst’s campaign team is accusing Ted Cruz of supporting pedophiles, going so far as to try to tie him to Jerry Sandusky.
Not. Kidding.The scurrilous charge stems from Ted Cruz’s law firm taking on the appeal of a developer in Pennsylvania who had a dispute with an insurance company and had lost in district court. Ted Cruz got the case.
The company was in Pennsylvania and the client was involved in litigation related to a scandal that involved bribing judges to steer juvenile delinquents to the private jail facility his company built. He had previously pleaded guilty to failing to report a felony to the authorities. Cruz had nothing to do with the criminal case or the related civil litigation at all.

James O’Keefe pulls back the curtain just a little more.
James O’Keefe’s new Project Veritas video (see below) is a stunning exposé of union corruption surrounding so-called “shovel ready” jobs. In typically irreverent Project Veritas style, O’Keefe introduces a new company: Earth Supply and Renewal. What do they do? O’Keefe explains:
First, our excavation specialists insert their shovels into the ground and remove the soil. This presents the problem of an existing hole in the earth, creating a dangerous situation that could lead to hazards, including but not limited to tripping, falling, and bodily injuries.
Then there is the renewal process. At Earth Supply, we train professional backfillers to renew the soil in place of the existing hole, restoring the earth to its original condition.
Some folks say we’re just digging ditches and filling them back up again. But it’s about more than that. It’s about jobs.Ifn one were to propose this as a gag, it would never succeed as everyone would cry BPH! Unfortunately the truth about the depths of union corruption is much stranger and more appalling than fiction.
-
I can’t wait to tell my repair contractor that he’s in the earth renewal business.

#28 Shannon: It is obvious that Du-Hurts is willing to lie, to say anything to win this senate seat. If he will lie to win the seat, it does not take much imagination to assume that he will lie about his activities once in the seat, should he be successful.
He has spent millions of his own money to win the seat that pays a couple of hundred thousand/year – why? He is a profit oriented business man, he was very successful in the oil biz (I think it was the oil biz) so why would he work so hard and spend so much of his money on a job that pays so relatively little; unless there was a profit motive that is not so transparent to the public? I do not now nor, since I have been aware of him, trust the man to be anything other than corrupt. Others may have a different opinion, but IMHO he is as crooked as a dogs hind leg. -
Sweetie has a good friend that lives in Indiana. She works the evening shift at a Pillsbury factory (plant?) where they work one hour and break for one hour, the whole 8 hr shift, everyday. I haven’t gotten a definitive reason why they do that but it reeks of union shannonigans, doubling the number of workers needed. Nevertheless, that would be one long shift.
-
I don’t know that the man is corrupt. I just don’t like him. He’s been involved in elective politics for 12 or so years. It’s time for him to go home, ride his cutting horses and pump some of that 200 million into the Texas economy.
Besides, as the ad says, “Every major Texas newspaper has called him a moderate.”
We don’t need to replace a moderate with another moderate. -
Dewhurst the Despicable keeps sinking lower into the primal ooze. It just makes many good folks think twice and thrice about the senatorial election and decide to vote for Ted Cruz next week or the 31st and send a donation to his campaign.
Wonder if DD shares the same glib lie gene that Bill Clinton has. -

Nothing new from the Establishment. They treat conservatives in thier own ranks worse than the do Democrats. -
Those adherents of “The religion of Peace” (prolly at the behest of Iran) just blew up a bus full of Israeli yutes. Lemme see ifn I have this straight, Israel (presumably) knocks off a couple of “scientists” directly involved in the production of nukes which by any reasonable standard of judgement would be used on Israel (therefore making said “scientists” legitimate targets) and in response the goat-raping iranians choose to target a busload of innocent chirrenzes, right? Yeah, I can see the moral equivalency can’t you?

#15 TexMo: I just got this email back from Kristen at the Food Renegade:
Hi Bonecrusher,
I’m not familiar with Christopher eggs. If they’re advertising a specific amount of omega-3s, it’s likely because they feed the hens a specially formulated food to produce those eggs.
/snipWhile the cage free, free range, etc labels can and are usually grievously misleading, stating a specific amount of a particular, highly desired nutritional component, if not true would place the company in grave legal danger.
I could be wrong on this, but I don’t think so. If someone were to test a representative sample (like one of their competitors) and come up with significantly different numbers than what is advertised, it would open them up to a slam dunk false advertising/damage claim. That would be an extremely high risk/low reward play. -
#39 – Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll that phrase “what the president said” was posted more than once and not only via the resident ‘mosquito’

“I can think of at least four violations here: wearing a duty uniform while supposedly off-duty or at an unauthorized location; wearing an official Army uniform to an event that I guarantee the Army is not officially involved with; wearing a non-sanctioned patch on the uniform in place of current unit patch; and attending a My Little Pony convention.”
-
Bonecrusher, I am glad you received a response. My concern is how does the producer of the brand you referenced actually achieve their stated results. I agree that in all likelihood they are not misrepresenting the omega-3 content. When all is said and done, I would much rather have Cbr’s eggs. I would just be concerned about eating frankeneggs.
-
I think they feed the chickens flax to boost the Omega-3 content.
-
The what Catholics say was really funny. I even understood the nuances (most at least) plus Tedtam’s guide helped me too.
On what Mormons say…LOL!!! Here’s some insights.
“SH*Z Mormon Moms Say”:
“Flip” – A common Utah replacement word for the mother of swear words.
“FHE” – Family Home Evening. This is Church counsel to hold once week in the home. It is a night/evening dedicated to the family.
“D.I.” – Deseret Industries. It’s a big corporation in Utah. It was originally founded by the LDs Church after settling in Utah to meet the needs of the people and it is still owned and opperated by the LDS Church for the same ends.
“Sharing time” – This is a portion or “Primary” (the sunday school structure for children 4-12) where entire groups get otgether to pray, sing songs, have a lesson on the gospel, celebrate birthdays, children’s personal achievements, etc. The “Primary” is typically divided into junior primary and senior primary. Women are always in charge of this program.
Nuances:
Food storage – The LDS Church strongly advocates and encourages its members to create and maintain a foood storage for times of need. For practicality, the LDS Church teaches to use and replace wha you use the food storage as time goes on.
Jello – A very popular traditional / stereotypical desert amongs Mormons.
“Is that a Nephi choice or a Laman and Lemuel choice” – In the Book of Mormon Nephi was a good guy. A man of God. Laman and Lemuel were brothers to Nephi and turned wicked.
“When there’s love at…will you guys stop fighting!!!” – “Love at Home” is a very popular Mormon hymn. Note the irony of having to stop the song to break up fighting. I can totally relate.
“I need…” – Stereotypically Mormons are always looking to become better. The stereotypical view applies particularly to LDS women. (People have tried to link this to depression and I say they can go jump in the lake).
“SH*Z Mormon Say”: (LOL again)
“Bless this doughnut to strengthen and nourish my body” – This is really funny. The origin of this is that at youth activities there are refreshments. usually these refreshments are not quite healthy though they are always prayed for and a very common phrase used is that they (the junk food) will strengthen and nourish the bodies of those who will be consuming it. The Irony is pretty clear. Nothing wrong for thanking God for eating though.
“E.F.Y.” – Especially for Youth. The young man says, he “[has] all the E.F.Y songs on [his] IPod”.
“Hey, CTR” – CTR = Choose the right. A very common phrase in mormon culture. CTR rings are very popular as well. “Choose the Right” is also a popular LDS hymn.
“She is totally a five cow woman” – This is a reference to the LDS short film “Johnny Lingo”. He’s a pacific islander (Polynesian) who was the big prized bachelor catch for any young woman on the island. The film presents the culture as young single men trading a cow to the male head of a home in order to ask him for their daughter’s hand in marriage. The more beautiful the girl the more cows the head ofthe house may get. There was a one girl who was called ugly all the time. Even by her father who I believe said he’ll be lucky to get even one cow for his “ugly” daughter. Along came Jonny Lingo with 8 cows. This shocked everyone. After some time, people came to visit Lingo and his “ugly” wife who turned out beautiful. The moral of the film was that outward beauty is not what is to be valued. It is what’s underneath (the soul) which is what Johnny Lingo saw. The young man rated some girl asa “five cow girl”. (LOL!)
Thanks for posting these, Tedtam. I enjoyed them. -

Bold mine:
IRWIN, Penn. — Standing before hundreds of roaring partisans in this sweltering Pittsburgh suburb Tuesday, Mitt Romney delivered a 30-minute speech that sounded, at times, like a greatest hits compilation of his favorite Obama-knocking stump speech lines. The president was, Romney said, “out of ideas,” and “looking for someone to blame,” and a “crony capitalist.”
One thing he was not: “A nice guy.”
In speeches from Des Moines to Dallas, Romney has always been careful to hedge his tough digs at Obama with a civil nod toward the president’s moral character: “He’s a nice guy,” the Republican has often said. “He just has no idea how the private economy works.” But Tuesday’s speech included no such hedge — and one campaign adviser said there’s a reason for that.
“[Romney] has said Obama’s a nice fellow, he’s just in over his head,” the adviser said. “But I think the governor himself believes this latest round of attacks that have impugned his integrity and accused him of being a felon go so far beyond that pale that he’s really disappointed. He believes it’s time to vet the president. He really hasn’t been vetted; McCain didn’t do it.”
Indeed, facing what the candidate and his aides believe to be a series of surprisingly ruthless, unfounded, and unfair attacks from the Obama campaign on Romney’s finances and business record, the Republican’s campaign is now prepared to go eye for an eye in an intense, no-holds-barred act of political reprisal, said two Romney advisers who spoke on condition of anonymity. In the next chapter of Boston’s pushback — which began last week when they began labeling Obama a “liar” — very little will be off-limits, from the president’s youthful drug habit, to his ties to disgraced Chicago politicians.(Clapping loudly for Romney!!!)

I was listening to KSEV on my way home, just arrived a few minutes ago. Dan Patrick says he hasn’t endorsed either candidate for Senator, but he and Baker are obviously carrying his water. I had to turn them off, I couldn’t listen any more. Baker especially got annoying. Well, more annoying.

Dan Patrick supports Dewhurst and has for quite some time. The on-air chat apparently has to be sorta neutral. When Edd Hendee was on in the transition between Sam Malone and Mack, Edd said he supports Ted but would not say more on air, and that he an Dan do not support the same candidate.
Seems to me from what I heard this morning on Mack’s show, 3rd hour, that the slant for Dewhurst was evident by some commenting but not by Mack. He steered neutral. Also think that Dan might be annoyed/embarrassed by the dirty ads Dewhurst has unleashed this week.
Kinda reminds me of what a former neighbor and friend of my folks in Madison, WI had to say: “When you get up to dance with a gorilla, you don’t sit down until the gorilla gets tired.” -

County officials must conduct a final building inspection at the mosque in Murfreesboro, near Nashville, U.S. District Judge Todd J. Campbell said in a temporary restraining order. -
Gorilla dancing is the best quote ever, many Dems concur. 😀
Baseball preempted Michael Berry so I had to listen to Baker-Patrick too, that everyone on KSEV has to be in the Dewhurst camp, or keep quiet, is shameful and against all Dan Patrick ever stood for. Baker is just a tool, I lost what little respect I had for him this election.
I feel bad for the new morning guy, you can tell he wants to get on board. -
#75 Ms Adee, Dan Patrick has not endorsed Dewhurst, but as you say if you listen to him and that IDIOT Baker they’re clearly pulling for Dewhurst. FWIW; sometime last week Dan and 18 other Republicans signed some kind of letter in support of Dewhurst, I’m sure that you’re familiar with it. I’ve been trying to get everyone that I know to vote in the primary, a lot of them are turned off by all the negitave ads, but I try as best as I can to educate them but sadly MOST folks just don’t pay attention. 🙁

When President Barack Obama hauled off and slapped American small-business owners in the mouth the other day, I wanted to dream of my father.
But I didn’t have to close my eyes to see my dad. I could do it with my eyes open.
All I had to do was think of the driveway of our home, and my dad’s car gone before dawn, that old white Chrysler with a push-button transmission. It always started, but there was a hole in the floor and his feet got wet in the rain. So he patched it with concrete mix and kept on driving it to the little supermarket he ran with my Uncle George.
He’d return home long after dark, physically and mentally exhausted, take a plate of food, talk with us for a few minutes, then flop in that big chair in front of the TV. Even before his cigarette was out, he’d begin to snore.
…
If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that? Somebody else made that happen?
Somebody else, Mr. President? Who, exactly? Government?
One of my earliest memories as a boy at the store was that of the government men coming from City Hall. One was tall and beefy. The other was wiry. They wanted steaks.
We didn’t eat red steaks at home or yellow bananas. We took home the brown bananas and the brown steaks because we couldn’t sell them. But the government men liked the big, red steaks, the fat rib-eyes two to a shrink-wrapped package. You could put 20 or so in a shopping bag.
“Thanks, Greek,” they’d say.
That was government.
…
And he offers an American dream much different from my father’s. Open your eyes and you can see it too. He stands there at the front of the mob, in his shirt sleeves, swinging that government hammer, exhorting the crowd to use its votes and take what it wants. -
Being a Senator and a radio station owner/personality has Dan and the people that work for him in a tenuous position.
-
#81 Tim, the Boy just called and is back at home and told me about meeting another one of his heros “Travis Pastrana” he said that the guy was a hoot and spent an hour in the Houston group’s hospitality room.
This was the Boy’s second Tahoe trip and he enjoyed it MUCH more than the last one because he knew soo many more people from Houston and the Corporate (Arizonia) folks, the first time he was only 20. 😀
Did I tell Ya’ Life is Good!!! -

Patrick didn’t sign the letter supporting Dewhurst from all but one of the members of the state senate ?
Really ?

The idea Dan has not endorsed Dewhurst is a joke. -

The fact that Edd Hendee has been so hesitant to return on-air at KSEV has to have serious back-story fade to it.
I suspect Edd doesn’t want to play the way Danny Boy does so he only dances in and out now and again. -
Maybe McCain is right.
Some of us have dismissed Bachmann’s and her cohorts mean-spirited attacks on people and organizations they don’t like as train-wreck theater. As if there is some sort of moral equivalence between ” Huma Abedin is a security risk” and SJL’s hope that NASA will retrieve the flag from Mars. Perhaps these knuckleheads have reached their Fred Fisher moment.“Huma represents what is best about America: the daughter of immigrants, who has risen to the highest levels of our government on the basis of her substantial personal merit and her abiding commitment to the American ideals that she embodies so fully.” McCain said. “I am proud to know Huma, and to call her my friend.”
“In order for evil to flourish, all that is required is for good men to do nothing.”

For the most part, I have considered John McCain to be on the high side of blithering fool for most of his career. I don’t make accomodations for his stupidity because of his heroic sacrifice in military service.
Bachmann might be a little crazy, but the fact Humedin’s mother is actively engaged in the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is absolutely undeniable.
Whether her mother’s beliefs and entanglements with terrorist organizations influences Huma is left to be proved. I don’t know – maybe it does and maybe it doesn’t.
But if you want to come on here and claim the accusations against Abedin’s mother are false, made by Bachmann or others, then you have a large credibility problem, Shammyboy. -

REALLY??? That’s what did it? Just now? That just happened? Dude, you crack me up.

I didn’t know that Jell-O and “parties” were so popular
Ther Jell-O popularity amongs Mormons originated I think in Utah. It probably has a lot to do with it being kid friendly and family oriented. I can easily picture the “Sisters of Zion” sharing Jell-O recipes. As for the youth activities, there’s lots of them. There’s dances, weekly events, and big campouts as well. They are very spiritual and social as well. Oldest Daughter went to her first campout last month. She loved it.

Shammy twists and turns, spins and manipulates the truth, but sometimes he’s just a f**king bald faced liar.
This time…tonight…is one of them. -
I thought Lutherans were the Jello cult 😉

Yes, he is. -
#83 Hambone, Ain’t it the truth! Doesn’t it just make you sick, the sad part is that Obama truly believes this BS! He’s NEVER had to hit a lick at a snake, everything was always just given to him.
Sometimes I think about the time that I sent Daughter off to college and tried to find any kind of $$$ that might be avaiable BUTT she was a blue-eyed blonde and her parents were RICH, or so thought the Gub’ment! Well I, paid her way and in doing so 10% of the $$$ that I sent to A&M went to kids that were on the Gub’ment dole. I didn’t like not having the option of giving JUST anybody MY HARD EARNED $$$. -
I wonder if Jello could have its Omega 3s boosted somehow or other? Well, short of mixing in krill instead of crushed pineapple.

Dang, Dammit “Iron Mary” just stole the magic, “Hunnert form me,……Dayaam she’s QUICK! 😀

He’s a communist. Ain’t hard for me to believe that he believes that BS.

Not to mention unproven. And no, any “proof” involving Frank Gaffney or Walid Shoebat is up there with Jerome Corsi and Alex Jones; unless of course you also subscribe to their allegations that CPAC and Grover Norquist are Muslim Brotherhood plants.
The personal attack on Huma Abedin is unwarranted and provoking quite a backlash. Have you no sense of decency sir? -
Obama truly believes this BS!
I have no doubt he’s all in. The troubling thing for me is 52% of voters believed the Marxist in 2008, in spite all evidence to the contrary. More troubling is 45% STILL believe it!
Anyone with a brain (or balls) bigger than a mustard seed understands that the government is able to build roads, bridges, and schools BECAUSE of small businesses, not for small businesses. -
And while we’re channeling Joseph Welch its a good time to point out that in less than four years Obama has proven that ol’ Joe Mccarthy was undoubtedly correct.

old white Chrysler with a push-button transmission
what was the vintage? We had a 57 Plymouth and a 61 Dodge both with a 318 and the push button tranny’s. Our 66 Chrysler had a regular lever, no buttons.

Just because he’s from Wisconsin doesn’t mean Joe McCarthy was right.

SD – I didn’t write that. It was an article in the Chicago Tribune. There’s link in the blockquote somewhere.

But my grandmother did have an early ’60s Dodge Lancer with a pushbutton tranny and the ubiquitous slant six.

Oh boy! Octopu$$y is on Encrwest.

Heh. Yeah that’ll get caught in the bucket every time 😉

Nice try but it doesn’t work that way.
You don’t get to tell me who I can and cannot use as a source.
Humedin’s mother is neck deep in the Muslim Sisterhood, the female auxiliary of the Muslim Brotherhood, the International Islamic Committee for Woman and Child (IICWC), the Rabita Trust of Pakistan. All organizations supporting terrorist activities in Egypt, Pakistan, Gaza and elsewhere. -
Texpat you may cite anyone you wish, just a heads-up regarding the credibility of your sources.
And so far not a single source except Bachmann’s second letter citing vague references to the Arab News.
So, come clean, I won’t tell anyone.
Do you honestly think Rep. Bachmann, et al; personal attack on Clinton’s aide as a Muslim Brotherhood infiltrator is justified? -
Clinton’s aide
Heh. Yeah. That’s what she is. Clinton’s aide.
-
And no, any “proof” involving Frank Gaffney or Walid Shoebat is up there with Jerome Corsi and Alex Jones
I don’t know about Frank Gaffney but why is Walid Shoebat’s connection between Saleha Mahmoud Abedin and the Muslim Brotherhood conspiratorial? In fact, any vetting of Huma which showed her familiar connections to the Muslim Brotherhood should have disqualified her from seving with the Secretary of State, period. Does John McCain have any ounce of capability in recognizing the potential conflict of interest here? Or, perhaps, he thinks we should make nice with the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Muslim Brotherhood and Weiner
I think Eileen F. Toplansky pieces things together nicely. -
I’m still up working tonight but I was just sent this link to a childhood pic of BHO with attention called to the area where it looks like his mother’s hand touches his side.

McCain is still holding onto the falsehood that the leadership of the Democrat party has the best interest of the country at heart, that they’re just misguided and he, being the “elder statesman”, can reason with treason.

Shamaal’s just trying to keep us honest I suppose.

McCain’s not my favorite guy either, but there comes a time when the character assassination is over the top.
We’ll see if any other folks speak out.“In order for evil to flourish, all that is required is for good men to do nothing.”

“In order for evil to flourish, all that is required is for good men to do nothing.”
Yep I agree. Just look at the Fast and Furious scandal.
Evil Kenevil Holder is flourishing in his role as Comrade General. -
An example of Rep Bachman’s cited “proof” regarding Abdeen’s mother’s association with MB. You can lookup the Al Jazeera link on your own.
The firts 2/3rds of the column establishes the columnists credibility. If Bonecrusher was a muslim kook, this is what he would write. 😉I was reviewing voting record this member Likud immoral in Congress after the eruption of scandal nationality when I found that his other, ie, the representation of Israel in Congress, intersects with the spy Pollard. found that he and members of the Democrats Barney Frank of Massachusetts, and Adolphus Towns of New York, and Bill Baskrl from New Jersey sent a letter to the White House demanding the release of Pollard, because that would have a signed the good of the people of Israel. He was among 39 members of Congress have signed on 18/11/2010 a letter to the White House in the form of a petition to pardon Pollard, claiming he did not harm the interests of America was not an agent for Israel. all of the client to Israel and betray the interests of the United States, but the strangest thing I found for Weiner that his wife since 2010 named Huma Abdeen, and her mother are valid Mahmoud Abdeen, active in the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, including the Muslim, religiously, you can not marry non-Muslim, I can not imagine that Weiner months his conversion to Islam to marry her, I do not know the legality of this marriage , and leave the topic of religious scholars.

Luckily for the Democrats if it was true, he’d be impeached.

That picture of TBO with his mother is Photoshopped?! Shocker!
Yet one more instance of lying just because he can. Why create a picture of you with your mother? Doesn’t he have any without her hand magically changing color?
