Newsday's Lane Filler's Toxic Religious Bigotry

Newsday's Lane Filler's Toxic Religious Bigotry

Lane Filler has been a member of the Newsday editorial board since 2010, during which time he has never been too shy to express his controversial views on what’s wrong with America and his remedies for curing those flaws.

In defending Robin William’s September suicide, Filler wrote recently that, “If we believe mature adults [but not young people] are the best judges of how they ought to live, aren’t they also the experts on whether they ought to live? We could stop judging so harshly the act of suicide. We could listen to the cries of pain and, perhaps, even believe them.” 

Last July, he attacked our country for our mean-spirited policies of restricting the mass invasion by uncounted, unaccompanied children across America’s southern border, asking, “What is the purpose of America? And what is the meaning of life?”
Aside from his apparent ignorance regarding America’s “purpose” and the tangential relevance of life’s meaning, Filler revealed an abject disregard for both our national territorial integrity and our essential national character in those two articles, themes he carried to another extreme in “Why Conservatives Can’t Balk at Same-sex Marriage.”

Written from his jaded point of view as a confirmed liberal-leftist, the latter piece exposed Filler as an anti-Christian zealot who can’t seem to distinguish between long-established conservative dogma and irrationality.

For example, he wrote that, “If you care that consenting adults can get married, regardless of their genders or colors or sexual proclivities, you’re not really a conservative. You use the term to describe yourself because you think some people will favor it, like when people on dating sites call themselves ‘adventurous’ and that ”Real adventurers meet new lovers at zip-lining conventions, or even prayer marathons, not online in chat rooms. And real conservatives don’t care what consenting adults do with their money or lungs or genitals if it does not intrude on the liberty of others.”

Perhaps to arrogantly emphasize his bigotry, Filler felt compelled to add, ”But worse than the ‘conservatives’ who think your freedom ends when you want to do something they find icky are the ones who would truly pervert the Constitution to fight what they see as perversion.”

Now, as a non-adventurist Christian conservative, I can’t take issue with Filler’s inalienable right to spout blatant misrepresentations and distortions though I won’t defend to the death his authority to so spout them. 

However, considering the facts he hails from a Jewish heritage background and is a liberal-leftist to boot, . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=39313.)

America Can't Trust Thomas Frieden's CDC

America Can't Trust Thomas Friedan's CDC

Among my favorite Ronald Reagan quotations are, “Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first” and “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”  

Without suggesting that someone is a whore or a governmental waste of protoplasm, both observations are all too applicable to the former Commissioner of ultra-liberal Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Thomas R. Frieden.

Since 2009, MD-MPH Friedan has been the Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Administrator of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), federal public agencies of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services responsible for controlling health threats from infectious diseases, responding to emergencies, and battling the leading causes of suffering and death in our nation and around the world, according to the CDC website.
 
The ATSDR website says it “serves the public by using the best science, taking responsive public health actions, and providing trusted health information to prevent harmful exposures and diseases related to toxic substances.”

The chief problems with Friedan, the CDC, and the ATSDR are that all have failed miserably in controling much if any of the suffering and  fatalities related to the deadly Ebola virus now on the precipice of rampaging across America.

It seems some things–such as base politics, political correctness, and gross ambition–take precedence over duty, honor, and competence for some people.  In fact, for all his cheerleading and bluster on the Ebola issue, . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=39276.)

What Can We Do?

What Can We Do?

The Ebola virus is about to ravage the planet like no other disease has done in many decades.  The Obama administration has been in the process of destroying everything good America has stood for over the past two centuries.  Our nation is more divided into cynical special interests than it has been since the inauguration of the Civil Rights Movement.  Al-Qaida is “looking to do it [attack America] very, very soon.” Up to a half of American schoolkids speak a language other than English at home.  Crime is as rampant as the economy is moribund in our land.  Weapons of mass and personal protection are being banned with mindless vengeance.

And, our First Lady is pissed that kids nationwide have told the Flotus to stick her child obesity guidelines where school lunches don’t shine.

While all those issues represent threats to America’s future, perhaps our greatest danger rests in the fact we are on the verge of deciding whether to continue on with demonstrably government ineptitude and disastrous policies or to hit a re-set and reverse our various national courses, dangerous chiefly because much of the so-called “24-hour news cycle” is lost, consumed with such matters as where crocodiles gather for lunch on the Zambezi and who last discovered she has been a life-long lesbian.

Readers will debate the truth of real news depending on their social and political perspectives, what’s not open to disagreement is the reality that the United States and the world we once dominated are not the same as they were a mere quarter century back. 

Regretably, many Americans and much of the world are perfectly content with the new sea changes which are at variance with what they prefer to acccept as truth.

By all un-emotional standards, America is rapidly deteriorating into the depths of a cowardly, intimidated new world beset by craven politicians. . .

Dutch Like Killing You Softly

Dutch Like Killing You Softly

When the hip soul group The Fugees recorded “Killing Me Softly” two decades ago, they could not have envisioned how the Netherlands’ government would have effectively adopted their song’s theme as their national euthanasia anthem in 2014. 

Its lyrics fit perfectly with its policy of assisting both its terminally-ill and not-so-terminally sick citizens to comfortably shuffle off this mortal coil as if they were bothersome stray cats and often whether they wanted to be shuffled or not.

“Killing Me Softly” is actually a love song and starts with, “And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes” before launching into the gist of its romantic sentiment with, “Strumming my pain with his fingers, . . . killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song, telling my whole life with his words.”

According to Britain’s Daily Mail, Dutch politicians, while still keeping euthanasia, aka “assisted dying,” as comfortable as possible, have now begun including “severe psychiatric problems” and dementia as reasons sufficient to dispatch people to the Great Beyond while notably not incorporating the insidious use of “terminal sedation” in their death tallies. . . .

Ronaldus Magnus' Past Words Nailed America's Future

Ronaldus Magnus' Past Words Nailed America's Future

 

Love him or hate him, America’s 40th president Ronald Wilson Reagan possessed an uncanny ability to unite a people in disarray at the same time he was capable of capturing the essence of the most dangerous threats to our nation’s future prosperity and very existence.

To be sure, those and Reagan’s other major achievements didn’t come easily since his many foes in the Democrat Party and their mainstream media marshaled all their considerable forces to ridicule and defeat him so that they could continue to foster the same policies that had driven America to the brink of economic, moral, and social collapse by 1980.

That scenario and its consequences are being replicated today mainly because we failed to really listen to and understand his common sense warnings.

For example, long before America’s streets devolved into violent cesspools, long before our national defenses became farcical excuses national security, long before our health systems care deteriorated into pale imitations of what health care used to be, long before our public schools and colleges turned into institutions of political-correctness, and even long before President Barack Hussein Obama began to rapidly accelerate our decline, Ronald Reagan foretold what lay ahead for us as a nation and as a unified people.
And, again, few people cared enough to pay attention.
Breitbart.com has listed some but far from all of the more significant views Reagan held and predicted about America: . . .  (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=39229.)

Radical Muslim Murderers Get Entertaining!

Radical Muslim Murderers Get Entertaining!

It’s rare that the scourge of Planet Earth ever engages in public displays of humor but occasionally, if accidentally, radical Muslim fruitcakes do sometimes practice policies that can best be classified as farcical rather than in their more customary acts of domestic and international terrorism.

Westerners are much more familiar with Islamic lunatics bombing and wreaking havoc on their own defenseless people as well as innocents in other nations they regard as Great or Lesser Satans and miscellaneous enemies they have warred against for centuries than in entertaining anyone.

Muslims typically just kill their foes in a variety of horrendous ways such as when they brutally behead American and British journalists.

They also drag women like 25 year old Coptic Christian Mary Sameh George from her car in Cairo for the crime of hanging a cross from her rearview mirror and further punished her by beating her, slitting her throat, and stabbing her to death while she was trying to deliver medicine to a sick, elderly woman.

However, none of that is meant to suggest Allah is not a just god, nor a god devoid of a decent sense of humor.

According to the People’sCube.com, one of Islam’s most recent exhibitions of such jocularity followed up last year’s International Woman’s Day story concerning Indonesia’s prohibitions on female flatulence in Indonesia.  

Local Indonesian female flatulence expert, Fartima Passagasiya, discussed how that government prohibition has benefited women and minorities over the course of the last year.

And, who can deny that’s funny?

As noted by Ms. Fartima, . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=39215.)

Ebola--Obama's Deadly Politically-Correct Disease

Ebola--Obama's Deadly Politically-Correct Disease

Over a month ago, I published two articles in this space on the subject of the Ebola virus, the first titled, “Ebola–Obama’s Latest Gift to America” and the second a few weeks later titled, “Ebola Spreading Uncontrollably.”

I intended the first piece as a sarcastic indictment of President Barack Hussein Obama and his administration’s ineptitude in dealing with a potential pandemic and concluded by writing, “The poor guy may just stay home in our White House, watch CNN, pray to Allah, and gleefully watch the body count.”

In the second I noted that, “To suggest the Ebola virus could very well and not in the distant future, reach and infect perhaps millions in America may be unnecessarily alarmist but such a suggestion could also reflect a reasonable doubt that Ebola researchers and physicians completely grasp its dangers or, for that matter, whether information as to its proliferation would even be publicized to suppress panic.”
Unfortunately but predictably, both articles are proving to have been all too prophetic and, though the causes are complex, their validity can be attributed mostly to the president’s obsession with political correctness and the attendant P.C. corollaries of self-defensive insecurities that supplement them. 

How else do we explain Obama’s repeatedly denigrating the critical interests of the nation he supposedly represents in service to foreign people and countries who present major threats and dangers to America but by an innate fear of offending them? 

Now that Brtain’s Daily Mail has dared to front-page the news that most people already expected, namely that Anthony Banbury, the Secretary General’s Special  Representative, has admitted a “nightmare” prospect that the Ebola virus could  easily become airborne instead of only being spread by bodily fluids as heretofore thought, compounded by officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention refusal to divulge any details on precise steps being adopted to contain the disease, suspicions are increasing that panic has set in. 

None of that news will influence President Obama’s P.C. approach toward controlling its spread but it all can mean that the simple act of breathing may soon become sufficient to communicate the most dangerous epidemic seen on our planet in many years.

As a fundamentally Christian country, . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=39192.)
