Obama's proletarian struggle
Individual conscience and service or a proletarian struggle?
personal conscience of each individual
For Obama it is the collective force that individuals can exert through mass action such as the Occupy Wall Street movement. Not the individual but the collectivity of individuals subsumed to some greater goal that causes important change according to Obama. Life is a proletarian struggle.
For Romney, “the call of service is one of the fundamental elements of our national character. It has motivated every great movement of conscience that this hopeful, fair-minded country of ours has ever seen.”
Recently, Gov. Romney told graduates of Liberty College that “the great drama is always personal, individual, unfolding in one’s own life… and that Men and women of every faith — and good people with none at all — sincerely strive to do right and lead a purpose-driven life.”
Life is politics says Obama. Obama tells college graduates at Banard College that the road ahead is a fairly grim proletarian struggle and that they need to be ready to occupy everything. Mass political action is the way to make significant change says Obama.
The contrasting world views of Romney and Obama as to how change occurs through individual actions could not be starker.
What say you as to why individuals matter?

new "Adopt-a-Jihadist" program
Read her latest article below which quotes a satirical, imaginary letter to a Canadian group that sees no threat to freedom posed by radical Islam. The letter by British Freedom suggests that the Canadian group try out a new “Adopt-a-Jihadist” program. It’s doubtful that the politically correct or Santa Cruz progressives will get the humor.

Laina Farhat-Holzman: Fear and loathing or analysis and perspective?
-
Posted: Santa Cruz Sentinel, 04/28/2012
“There are two ways to analyze the violent eruption of global terrorist attacks that have marked the past three decades: analyze the nature of the threat and the culture supporting it, or blame it all on the evils of Western colonialism and American militarism. (more…)

Cairo woman whipped for texting bad word
Woman who swore at girl friend via text message gets 50 lashes under Shara law in Cairo, Egypt.
The two Saudi women, aged 33 and 31 years, had decided to go out with their children for a weekend night but differed on where to go.
“An argument ensued and the two women decided to split … one of them later sent a text to her friend’s mobile phone swearing at her,” the Arabic language quotidian Kabar reported.
“The other woman went to court and showed the judge the message … although that woman said she was joking, the court ordered her lashed 50 times.

outdated govt regulations killed Titanic passengers
Those out dated government regulations must be updated for a world in which 60% of all women work outside the home.
And now is the time for women to raise a roar as Republicans control the House where all bills involving money must start.
“Flex time” is a good government regulation to fix in place. “Flex time” allows the worker to work the same number of hours packed into fewer days.
Senate Democrats blocked “flex time” back in the 1990′s. Now it’s time for Ann Romney and husband Mitt to make the case for “flex time”
The Titanic sank because the owner said follow the law as to how many life boats to equip it with. And the outdated Board of Trade law required only enough boats for half the number of people aboard. (more…)

baby chick
Can you arise this Easter & Passover season to new life? Yes.
How can you know? Faith is a gift but PET scans can show you it is so.
Persons who were severely abused early have brains that ‘fire up’ a certain way. Often people who experience severe abuse in utero and early childhood get diagnosed with a variety of disorders including PTSD, ADHD and Depression.
Trauma gets etched into the brain and how it functions. But its not a forever thing and you can change your brain, how it functions and its actual anatomy.
With appropriate cognitive and behavioral therapy — and time — people’s brains learn fresh pathways and literally change how they ‘fire’ And as the brain’s function changes so changes the actual anatomy of your brain.
The brain is a very complex organ and its complexity does not end with its structural and chemical composition.
The brain is a dynamic organ and is in a constant state of change, governed by life’s experiences.
Every time we learn something new, form a memory, experience stress or disease, the biochemical structure of our brain changes at the neuronal level and this affects information flow. (more…)

![FACES OF 300x226 Firenze Sage: Cartoons [of Prophet Mohammed] are bad, very 7 years bad ...](http://freedomok.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/FACES-OF-300x226.jpg "FACES-OF")
7 years prison for 2 Tunesians for a nude cartoon of Prophet Mohammed
A cartoon, depicting the Prophet Mohammed nude, was posted on a Facebook page by two Tunesian youth from Mahdia. Both youth have been sentenced to seven years in prison for violation of morality.
Since the Islamist Ennaha party took charge in Tunesia trials for violation of morality have increased considerably.
The case has fuelled allegations that Tunesia’s new Islamist leaders are gagging free speech.
The two men had posted depictions of the prophet naked on the social networking site, the justice ministry said, inflaming sensitivities in a country where Muslim values have taken on a bigger role since a revolution last year.
A justice ministry spokesman said, “They were sentenced … to seven years in prison for violation of morality, and disturbing public order.

![KORAN MARRIAGE Firenze Sage: Divorce mall style [for Egyptian men based on the Koran]](http://freedomok.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/KORAN-MARRIAGE.jpg "KORAN-MARRIAGE")
no equality in Koran marriage
Is this what the Koran permits Egyptian men to do with their wife or wives?
How can an Egyptian Muslim marriage — or any marriage — be terminated in divorce based on this flimsy evidence?
Facts: An Egyptian man supposedly saw a telephone number written down and given to his wife. So the man immediately shouts out divorce over a loud speaker. His wife at the time is at the mall with their several kids. This is what came over the internet:
“A Saudi husband in Cairo, Egypt used a loudspeaker to divorce his wife at a busy shopping mall. The husband saw [supposedly] his wife take a note from a man.
“When he left that shop, he saw a man giving his wife a note bearing his phone number. She [supposedly] accepted the paper and put it inside her bag,” The newspaper did not mention where the mall is located.
“The husband then used the mall’s loudspeaker to shout divorce words against his wife. His wife at the time was with her three children.”

bacon
force pork?
Conservatives can do things that support getting rid of ObamaCare, Obama’s regulations and Obama’s policies. One way: Read the opposition’s arguments and comment back via blogs and email. This is a comment back on ‘Broccoli and bad faith’ written by Paul Krugman, with New York Times.
Replace broccoli with pork and see what happens to Krugman’s weak argument.
Dear Mr. Krugman: Do you know that …..
1) Americans overwhelmingly dislike 2 to 1 ObamaCare. It was not popular before and overall it is still unpopular.
2) If the Supreme Court throws ObamaCare out entirely, then Congress gets a fresh slate to make health care reform with bipartisan support. Not one Republican voted for ObamaCare. Any change of such massive proportions requires bipartisan support and public input through hearings. Thus, a fresh start is the best way to go.
3) Americans want health care reform that respects individual freedom of religion per the Bill of Rights. Obama recently Jan 20, 2012 told the Catholic bishops there was no waiver for any church organizations. Under Obama-Care, all organizations must provide for free a wide variety of contraceptive choices including abortion, sterilization and birth control pills. Many organizations are affronted at this lack of respect for individual conscience and by the one size fits all approach taken by Obama and his Health Secretary Sebelius. (more…)

threat of Christianity
Inclusion of words “The threat of Christianity” is a boo-boo says Malaysian officials.
Malaysian state religious and education officials have changed the title of a seminar which included the words “the threat of Christianity” following outrage by non-Muslims in the Muslim dominant country [28.3 million Muslims to 9.2 million Christians].
How dare you call Christianity a threat says non-Muslims. The religious Police raided a Methodist church event last August fearing Muslims were being converted to Christianity.
Co-organisers from the state religious department say the seminar’s content [directed towards school teachers] will remain the same but part of the title “threat of Christianity” will be removed.
“The seminar is part of the right of Muslims to defend the faith of its practitioners from any action which may lead to apostasy. It is our responsibility,” an official said.

homemade dolsot
hommade dolmas
Your church provide homemade food to less fortunate and hungry? Homemade food not OK says federal and some city governments. What’s happening in New York: No more home cooked food for the homeless of New York.
The Bloomberg administration is now taking the term “food police” to new depths. Bloomberg now blocks food donations to all government-run facilities that serve the city’s homeless.
In conjunction with a mayoral task force and the Health Department, the Department of Homeless Services recently started enforcing new nutritional rules for food served at city shelters. Since DHS can’t assess the nutritional content of donated food, shelters have to turn away good Samaritans.
For over a decade, Glenn Richter and his wife, Lenore, have led a team of food-delivery volunteers from Ohab Zedek, the Upper West Side Orthodox congregation. Shelters must turn away synagogue goodies like gefilte fish and pastries, thanks to Bloomberg.
They’ve brought freshly cooked, nutrient-rich surplus foods from synagogue events to homeless facilities in the neighborhood. (Disclosure: I know the food is so tasty because I’ve eaten it — I’m an OZ member.) The practice of donating such surplus food to homeless shelters is common among houses of worship in the city.
