Its Good To Know I Am Part Of The Democratic Party

Or as it has been recently called. The Party Of Death as us Democrats are now being called. I guess I feel better in that i am not part of the conservative right wing.

some things about Catholics that people need to know


• The Catholic Church led The Crusades, which were some of the bloodiest wars fought in the name of God.

• The Catholic Church engaged in the Spanish Inquisition, which led to the oppression of Jews, non-Catholic Christians and Muslims. Many were tortured, killed and forced to convert to Catholicism.

• The Catholic Church's cowardice acting against Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. Hitler, who himself was raised as a Catholic, killed millions of Jews and non-desirables. While historians debate how bad the church was, it can clearly be criticized for not leading a movement against Hitler and not being sympathetic to the Jewish religion and its treatment in Nazi Germany.

• Most notably, the church's cover-up of countless child molestation cases involving cardinals and Catholic priests. I cannot imagine how these incidents will affect the futures of the children involved.


This is from veraserum.com

Within the paradigm of the Catholic Church there ARE things that people should be punished for. While pedophilia isn’t one of those things, apparently stealing is.

The Archdiocese of Nebraska is suing Sister Barbara Markey and some of her family members in order to recover nearly $900,000 the archdiocese says she stole as director of the archdiocese’s Catholic Family Life Office.

I agree that if Sister Barbara is guilty of stealing (and based on the information that has been released, there isn’t much doubt), she should be punished.

But if the Catholic Church is upset enough about a nun stealing money that they will take her to both criminal and civil court, why don’t they take steps to have their priests punished in criminal court for destroying the lives of THOUSANDS of young boys and men across the country?

Maybe it’s just me, but that seems inconsistent.

What Sister Barbara Markey should have done is taken part of that money she stole and used it to pay for hotel rooms to molest young children. Then the Catholic Church would have given her all the cover and forgiveness she needed.

Shut Up Burke, we all dont see your super conservative views.

So my question to you is. how can us Democrats still be part of the Catholic Church?

Abstinence Education Does Work

As we all know the mandated form of sex education in the US is Abstinence. i for a long time have seen this plan as a plan that fails. And it does. this is purely for entertainment purposes but i saw a booklet in an undisclosed classroom that made me laugh and see the sex education for what it was.

Like i said, it is funny. i will probably post this picture on my news blog as a story on sex education. To find the news blog look on my profile.

I am an idiot

this is to anyone in California i told to vote yes on Prop 8. i thought it was to allow gay marriage. but after further discovery i found out that it was to to ban it. i want to say sorry if anyone had been on the fence and i said to vote yes. crap. there is not way to put this other than to say that i am Pro Gay Marriage because it is equal and everyone needs to be equal. NO ON 8!

This is better than a month ago

people have said many times that you can change your viewpoint on things in a short amount of time. I have two arguments to that.

1. September 11, 2001- before this day people did not see Middle Easterners as a threat that much and did not dislike them. but after the tower attacks people started seeing any one of Middle Eastern heritage as a terrorist.

2. My Political Quiz. I took a political Quiz at the start of September. after a month i took the quiz again. here are the 2 results. the first one scared me quite a bit.

September 1st, 2008

Your PERSONAL issues Score is 80%.
Your ECONOMIC issues Score is 90%.

According to your answers, the political group that agrees with you most is...

LIBERTARIANS support maximum liberty in both personal and

economic matters. They advocate a much smaller government; one

that is limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence.

Libertarians tend to embrace individual responsibility, oppose

government bureaucracy and taxes, promote private charity, tolerate

diverse lifestyles, support the free market, and defend civil liberties.

First Steps

I am happy to announce that i have got an internship at the Kansas City Kansan. these are my first steps to conquering the world of journalism. Perhaps i will get good at this and become an editor. (That would be fun) but only time will tell at this point. of course i will be loyal to all of you readers out there and keep up on my posting as much as i can!

I Finally Got It!

yes to all of you fans out there. i got the twilight book. i guess the next few posts will be about how I think of the book and where i think it is going. i am mainly reading it so see what the excitement is about and because i am going to see the movie with a friend.

Note.

dont ever keep in touch with ex-Fiances. they are insane

its a disaster waiting to happen. as i have learned this weekend. i made the mistake of saying hi. after she said hi she went straight into the interrogation. to put it into picture form it kinda went like this.

creepy right? it wasn't as scary as the conversation.
it was more like stalker on the verge of psychopath. apparently there is an obsession in this woman. or lack there of. so perhaps there is nothing worse than the wrath of a woman scorned.

so in short the conversation lasted for like 1/2 to a full hour and i was stressed to the point of where I needed something STRONG to calm me down.

i am now severing communication with this person and i am the happier for it. there is someone out there for that person but it is not me. (thankfully)

if you want a copy of the conversation leave a comment.

A Poll

My Prediction For Terminator Salvation

so i am sure that all of us has heard of the new Terminator Movie coming out May 22, 2009. very popular series, and probably a new cult following that may match up to the Alien and Predator series. But thankfully there was no crossover movie. the movie takes place after the events of the 2003 movie Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines and SKYNET has destroyed half of the human population. John Connor (Bale) started taking command of the remaining humans with his new wife Kate Connor (Formerly Brewster) (Howard). we see the return of Kyle Reese.

My Prediction? the movie will surpass the sales of the Dark Knight in the weekend Box Office sales, maybe not in the weekly updates but at least the first weekend.
