Skip to comments.Anti-Catholic bigotry [Ecumenical]
Posted on 04/27/2010 9:22:37 AM PDT by mlizzy
Perhaps the term "bigot" is overused these days, particularly by the libertine left when referring to those of us who oppose the homosexual lobby, which in turn promotes the homosexual lifestyle and same-sex "marriage" and denigrates the traditional family unit. (The homosexual lobby often supports the abortion industry as well.)
Yet bigotry does exist and we orthodox Christians bear the brunt of it. Consider: Abortion and homosexual activists frequently exhibit bigotry toward us. Vicious secular humanists such as Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins frequently exhibit bigotry toward us. And then there's the bigotry exhibited by some Protestants toward Catholics such as yours truly. (Yes, I will concede that there are some Catholics who exhibit bigotry toward Protestants i.e. by claiming Protestants have no chance of being saved and by not treating them as our brothers and sisters in Christ but, thankfully, such Catholics are relatively few in number.)
I recently received an e-mail from a fellow I'll call Jim, who was responding to my April 24 column "Homosexuality and the Church Crisis." Based on Jim's initial e-mail to me, printed below, I assumed he was an anti-Catholic gay activist bigot.
'I did not read your article. I did find the title very offensive. That church is NOT only not my church, it is also not the church of most people living in the USA. The only things I know about your church is: 1. They didn't stop murdering Protestants for heresy until a few hundred years ago. 2. They shifted to buggering to [sic] children is [sic] the present day. I do not want to know anymore. I don't [sic] to read anymore. I am tired of bitching, analyzing, and whining in the newspapers. If you want to write about this crap please confine it to the Catholic press and stop bothering the rest us.'I responded:
'I assume you're referring to this column of mine. No one's forcing you to read anything. I don't know you and I didn't e-mail you. If some leftist blog/Web site you happen to read links to and/or comments on my column, well, that's certainly not my doing. My suggestion is quite simple: If my column offends you, don't even read the title. I don't let anti-Catholic bigots dictate the subjects about which I write.'Well, I soon found out that Jim isn't in fact an anti-Catholic gay activist bigot; he's an anti-Catholic Protestant bigot. To wit: In a subsequent e-mail (partially edited, except to show that Jim's e-mail correspondence is sloppily composed), he said:
'It is a fact that the Catholic Church persecuted and, yes, murdered Protestants in the past for high crime of heresy. Now, that was a long time ago, and I and most others don't blame the Catholics of today for the crimes of the past. But, given the history, some of us just do not like the Catholic Church very much. Calling us 'anti-Catholic Bigots' does not help either side. (btw.. Matt, do you call modern Jews, 'anti-Nazi bigots?') It is also a fact the 'us bigots' don't particular like it when the press, any press, refers to Catholic Church as THE church. Gee, does that mean that nice little Baptist church my family has attended for the past 3 generations is not a real church? Well, I guess only on god can answer that one, but according to Matt, it is obviously not THE church.(I shared Jim's initial e-mail with a Catholic friend of mine who also responded to him hence Jim is, at certain points, directing his comments toward my friend as well as me.)
'And Matt, after you sent me the link, I did go back and read your article. Statistics and formulas. Very and impressive and probably all very true. But, this heretic's view is much more simple:
'I have know since the scandals of the early 1980's that the Catholic Church protects the pedophiles in its high and holy priestly ranks. Actually any one read newspapers in the 1980s knew that then. Are there pedophile Catholic priest? Heretics think the answer is yes. Are the pedophile Baptist Ministers? Heretics, including many Baptists, think the answer is yes.
'The ONLY difference that this heretic can see is: The Catholic Church protects the pedophile priests from criminal prosecution! (And has many times moved them new parishes were they can prey on even more children.)
'Gee, let's think about this for minute. It's... say 1985 and there is a man that really likes to have sex with young children. He was gone so far as considering entering profession that will put him in contact with young children. What are his alternatives? School teacher? If busted, he will go prison? Protestant Minister? If busted, he will go to prison? Catholic Priest? If busted, he will be protected from and criminal prosecution and be will be moved to new parish with lots of new children to molest?
'Finally, true confessions: I am a born and raised protestant who is such an anti-Catholic BIGOT that I married a nice Catholic girl about 35 year ago. We are still married (although, I admit the marriage is NOT recognized by your high and holy church. I did not convert) and my wife stayed with the church until about 5 years ago when she realized that her monthly tithe (10% of our income earned primarily by the bigot) was going primarily to pay for the criminal defense of pedophiles and left THE church. I was pleased and proud.
'Thanks to the internet genealogy craze I have an Aunt who was actually able to verify that the family legend is true. I do have a great, great..... grandfather who was beheaded by THE church for the crime of heresy in the 1600's. He was, in fact guilty of two crimes. He was a Quaker and he had stayed on the wrong side of the Atlantic Ocean much too long. After the beheading, his family (my ancestors) migrated to place with a history that Matt may be familiar with. Today we call it Pennsylvania. Actually, I think they called it that back then but that's another story. (NOTE: His last name was Dye, I have never actually counted how may 'great''s go before grandfather, and she has details, I never bothered to get them from her. I must admit, I was surprised that we were once Quakers, all that I had know about were Baptists and an occasional Lutheran)
'I DID get linked to Matt's article though one of those far left wing web sites. It's called Free Republic. You may want to check it out.'
I'd say Jim and his ilk have been spending too much time indulging in anti-Catholic propaganda.
What a shame.
[emphasis; mine]
I must remove the "caucus" protection so the Protestants can speak for themselves. However, I will make it an "ecumenical" thread so that antagonism will not be allowed here.
Okay, thank you for your explanation and for making it an ecumenical thread to prevent antagonism.
Let's not go there because that would surely lead to antagonism. Discuss the issues, not the posters.
Then remove post number four due to its antagonstic nature and broad generalization.
I agree
Again, I take issue by your use of the Kool Aid drinkers label. By implication, at the very least you're calling those who vigorously defend the Church mind-numbed robots, and on the worse end of the spectrum, you're calling the Catholic Church a cult.
Take all the strong disagreement with Catholic doctine and the corruption inside the Church, but don't resort to such inflammatory language.
Plenty of anti-Protestanism, anti-Mormonism, anti-semitism, anti-Roman Catholicism, anti-Anglicanism on FreeRepublic.
All the evil in the world can be attributed to lukewarm Catholics --Pope St. Pius V.Don't know if Kool-Aid was around back then, but he phrased it quite well ... :):)
The Church no longer has carte blanche in its affairs when it comes to criminality. 21st Century society will not allow it. Any "persecution" of perversion and corruption has been brought by the Church upon itself. Were it not for folks OUTSIDE of the Church, as well as the courageous laypeople who were IGNORED by the high hats for DECADES, the Church would do NOTHING to address such perversion and corruption but instead continue to practice the DENIAL that was characteristic of the 1950s-2000s.
There are plenty of adherants to the various Christian denominations here who are of the belief that his or her denomination (and/or members of his or her denomination) are above reproach.
Baptist/Evangelical love of Mike Huckabee
Mormon love of Mitt Romney
RC denial/revision of past events
(For the record, I am a generic Christian of no particular denomination.)
Anti-Judaism is to be expected in "open" religious debate just like anti-Christianity, but ping me to any anti-Semitic posts because that is hate mongering and not allowed at all on Free Republic.
My experience is that there is an equal amount of anti-Catholic/anti-Protestant invective thrown about by each side on FR and it is disappointing. I also note, though, that it's the same handful of culprits involved most times from each side. I really don't understand it as it accomplishes nothing other than somehow make the insulter feel better I guess. Although I disagree strongly with about 20% of Catholic theology, I have no problem focusing on the 80% we do agree about when engaging in religious discussions with Catholics. I am reformed in my theology and don't have any problem in noting that about 75% of Calvin's Institutes is straight Catholic dogma. Yet somehow whenever Calvin is mentioned the discussion inevitably sticks solely to election which takes up about 30 pages of the 1500 pages which constitute the Institutes. Go figure.
So you want to be accepted by everyone? Was Jesus?
It's more than "a certain amount," and sadly, I would not be surprised at all to find out a FReeper composed the original e-mail.
It's very odd that there should be anti-Catholic bigotry on this forum, particularly when you consider that the man who so generously organized it and runs it is a devout Catholic.
As for me, I was a lifelong Protestant, but I always tried to see the good and true in both Catholicism and Protestantism. On Easter, after long study and prayer, I joined the Catholic Church. I am filled with joy, but it's been tempered by the amazing hatred that's been leveled at me by people I thought were my friends. So much for the concept of all of us comprising the Body of Christ! There is definitely anti-Catholic bigotry out there, and in many cases it has little to do with accusations of pedophilia—there's just a belief that we are all idolatrous statue-worshipping pagans who would still like to burn all Protestants at the stake.
"Were it not for folks OUTSIDE of the Church, as well as the courageous laypeople who were IGNORED by the high hats for DECADES, the Church would do NOTHING to address such perversion and corruption but instead continue to practice the DENIAL that was characteristic of the 1950s-2000s."
The horrendous scandal started to vastly improve in the late 70's/early 80's, long before any public pressure was brought to bear.
Thin-skinned posters on open RF threads are the disruptors. They often take statements against their deeply held beliefs very personally. And whereas I can and do intervene to prevent posters from making it personal there is nothing I can do to keep a poster from taking it personally. And some posters are drawn like a moth to the flame.
A frequent example of thin-skin is the posters claim of bigotry and more specifically, anti- bigotry internalized (e.g. anti-Catholic, anti-Protestant, anti-Mormon) rather than conceptualized (e.g. anti-Catholicism, anti-Protestantism, anti-Mormonism.)
The title of this article expresses that very kind of internalizing.
It should also be noted that there is a form of "anti" religious material which is hate mongering because it is intended to engender hatred in the reader usually by fabricating outrageous claims. That type of material (e.g. Chick publications, the false Jesuit Oath, Christian Identity, Islamic Fundamentalism) is not allowed on Free Republic at all.
For example, highlighting historical atrocities does not constitute hate mongering - claiming atrocities without any historical basis would likely be considered hate mongering.
But hate mongering is a high bar and statements which condemn religious beliefs are not automatically hate mongering. It is not at all unusual when one belief spawns from another that both condemn the other in harsh terms, e.g. heretic, anathema, apostate, cult, sect, Satanic. Such terms are often part of the poster's deeply held beliefs and may be used in the poster's holy writings. And such terms do not automatically constitute hate mongering.
So hopefully this discussion will explore the differences between internalizing and conceptualizing - condemnations and hate mongering - and help posters look at themselves whether they should ignore open RF threads altogether and instead post to threads labeled caucus ecumenical prayer or devotional.
Jim R. is Catholic?
These are a few examples of denial outside the Catholic Church.
Ilger, a former second-grade teacher, was convicted in 1988 of molesting four students in his San Luis Obispo classroom. After being released from jail, Ilger and his family moved to Los Angeles, where he took a position with Hope Chapel of the Valley in Canoga Park
"We've lived and learned a painful lesson," the Rev. Jeff Fischer of Hope Chapel said outside court.
Fischer has said he and about 30 church elders knew that Ilger had molested young girls before he was hired, and restricted his church duties.

Turner had been pastor of Anchor Community Church, 38 S. Fairgreen Drive, for seven years when he was arrested last summer
D) Anaheim, CA. Anaheim pastor admitted Monday he fondled two teen-age girls 18 years ago while working as a part-time counselor at a Colorado church a decade before he was assigned to an Orange County church. "I was acting like an irresponsible teen-ager. There's no excuse for what I did," the Rev. Greg Tucker of Anaheim First Church of the Nazarene told The Orange County Register. The church settled lawsuits by two women, who said Tucker, then 22, molested them when they were 16. A Colorado jury sided with the women in a civil trial, ordering Tucker to pay the two $70,000. Tucker said he never told church leaders about the indiscretions before his ordination in Southern California seven years ago. In Colorado, sexual relations with a teen-ager were not considered criminal then, which led the women to sue for civil damages. The former youth pastor is now a senior pastor in a Nazarene Church in Anaheim, CA. The Nazarene General Superintendent's remarks about the case were very telling, i.e. "This happened a long time ago. . .the man has 'grown' since then. . . isn't the Christian faith all about forgiveness. . ."(North County Times, April 17, 2002
NEW PORT RICHEY, FL -- The mother of a 5-year-old girl has filed a lawsuit against the Gospel Outreach Church of New Port Richey,alleging that her daughter was molested because church officials failed to screen the background of a church volunteer
Church Youth Leader Charged In Molestation Of 13 Year Old
Reginald G. Robinson, 24, a resident of Kansas City, was charged by the Jackson County Pro-secutor on Monday, May 20, with one count of statutory rape, three counts of statutory sodomy and one count of child molestation
Pastor Frank Douglas II, pastor of Beth-Judah Ministries was unavailable for comment
This man's history is highly suspect. Quakerism started in England in 1640. Except for a brief period under Queen Mary in the 1550's, England became effectively a Protestant country in 1535.
Heresy was typically punished by being burnt at the stake. Beheading was the punishment in England for treason, if your sentence was commuted from the normal punishment (hanging, drawing, and quartering). (And you probably had to be a nobleman to earn that commutation.) I suppose beheading was the punishment for some other crimes, as well.
IOW, I don't believe his story. Catholics weren't beheading anyone in England for heresy in the 1600s.
Sure will. Most is not in the religion forum.
By the way, the bigot is full of it. If his ancestor was a Quaker, in England no less (name of "Dye"), then he wasn't ever beheaded by a Catholic or even tried as one since Quakerism was started in the 17th century - over a century after Protestants took over England.
He's not only a bigot, but he's either a moron or a liar.
A belated welcome home to the Catholic Church!
Disagreement doesn't have to mean disrespect. I respect my Catholic brothers and sisters despite our disagreements.
I demand the same respect in return. By and large, I get it.
I believe so. Mod? Am I right?
There's plenty of anti-Catholic bigotry. There's plenty of anti-Protestant bigotry. There are bigots in every group of people. One would hope that the whole group is not painted with a single, broad brush.
So, because of all the Catholic bigotry — is the author calling FreeRepublic a leftist site?
Maybe some people need to check their typing fingers and brain linkages! LOL!
FR is FAR from a leftist site! Wowsies!
I think he (the one who wrote Matt the e-mail) was using sarcasm, because Abbott originally said that he can't help it if left sites link to his articles.
I don't belong to any organized religion. I'm a Republican.
Sorry, Mr. Robinson, I was misinformed. I apologize.
No problem.
This is the author's definition of Catholic "anti-Protestant bigotry?" He defines it out of existence!
REAL Catholic anti-Protestant bigotry isn't the Feeneyite kind. It's the sickening, disgusting "we're so much more enlightened and intellectual than you narrow-minded, illiterate Bible-thumpers who are so passe as to believe that only people who believe as you do go to Heaven."
THAT, my friends, is REAL Catholic anti-Protestant bigotry, and far too many Catholic posts on FR are absolutely dripping with it. But since "Catholic anti-Protestant bigotry" is being redefined so as to make Feeneyites and other traditionalists into scapegoats, I imagine no Catholic FReeper will see it that way.
Anti-Catholicism is the one thing that many in the far left and far right share. Whether communist or Calvinist, pulpit or press room no mention of anything Catholic will pass without a crude pedophile remark.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
....Well, I soon found out that Jim isn't in fact an anti-Catholic gay activist bigot; he's an anti-Catholic Protestant bigot....
[Jim's email]"....I DID get linked to Matt's article though one of those far left wing web sites. It's called Free Republic. You may want to check it out."
Only one thread links to the Matt Abbott 4/24 blog on Renew America. It was posted on the same day that Abbott made his blog entry!
Homosexuality and the Church Crisis
The original article that Abbott quotes was written by Brian Clowes. The Clowes article appeared on LifeSiteNews on April 19, and was posted as a thread on April 20 (four days before the Abbott blog). Could this be where "Jim" saw it on FR?
Definitive Paper: Homosexuality at Root of Sex Abuse Crisis
Me: Brought up RC for 30 years then Protestant for 15 years.
I found while being a Protestant that most Protestant complaints about the Catholic Church were not based on Doctrine but on bigotry and hatred and either were not true or half truths.
I have not a problem with people argueing doctrine - although I may not be able to keep up - what I do have concern with is people using stoires like they are Gospel truth. A lie built on half truth is not even quarter true. If you want to argue with Catholics or Protestants find out from them what they actually believe first then argue with that - don't go to your favourite (possibly biased) website to find the answer - actually ask people!
Sorry mlizzy - should have posted to ALL
Billions have agreed; 1.5 billion at this present time.
Can it be made any simpler?
There is one true Church. Check it.
Do you know how many times I've been called a member of a sola scriptura cult or accused of yopios? Catholics are very disrespectful of discent. Oh and I've been called a schismatic a zillion times.
"There are not over a hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church. There are millions, however, who hate what they wrongly believe to be the Catholic Church, which is of course, quite a different thing" --Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.And another great quote:
"All the evil in the world can be attributed to lukewarm Catholics" --Pope St. Pius V.The most profound difference between Catholicism and Protestantism is the belief (or non-belief!) in the "Living" Eucharist, which is the "sum and substance" of the Catholic faith. If a Catholic truly believes Christ's Presence is in the Eucharist, why would they limit reception to just once a week? I think this is in part how the lukewarmness sets in and to what the Pope refers. All saints were "on-fire" for Our Lord, and spoke of *frequent* reception of the Eucharist as a means to obtain this glow. I don't really know how a Sunday-only Catholic stays enthused with the faith. I admire them if they're able to remain pleasant throughout the week, but I start losing my luster not all that long after reception, dealing with day-to-day woes. :):) And a quote that sums up why I left Luther, and converted to Catholicism instead;
"It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do so without the Holy Mass" --St. Padre Pio.

Apple sued over OS X Quick Look preview featureNon-practicing entity WhitServe on Friday filed a complaint against Apple, claiming that the Quick Look function found in a number of OS X iterations infringes on its file viewing patent from 2011.
In its claim, filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, WhitServe alleges that Quick Look violates the company's U.S. Patent No. 7,921,139 for a "System for sequentially opening and displaying files in a directory," which was applied for in 2006 and granted in April of 2011.
Illustration of the '139 patent's file viewer and selector module (420). | Source: USPTO
Apple introduced Quick Look in Mac OS X 10.5 "Leopard," which debuted at the Worldwide Developers Conference in October 2007. The feature allows users to view the contents of a folder or file without opening the specific application that created it, with supported formats including PDF, QuickTime, Pages, Text and others. The function remains active on all current Macs and can be accessed via the spacebar.
The '139 patent offers a similar solution, using software to open and close files in a near-full view mode, an improvement on the thumbnail-based technology of the day. Also noted in the patent's language is a system to browse said files, called the file selector module, which can move through previews in sequential order. Unlike Apple's invention, however, the '139 patent allows users to edit documents and view multiple files at once.
WhitServe claims it licenses the patent's technology to undisclosed companies, and alleges that Apple's infringement is causing irreparable harm "not fully compensable by money damages."
The Connecticut-based LLC is seeking damages and court fees from Apple, as well as a permanent injunction against Quick Look's implementation in OS X.
On Topic: patents
- Apple replaces mechanical keyboard switches with proximity sensors in new invention
- Apple invention uses wrist gestures to control Apple Watch, iPhone
- Future Apple Watches might use heart rate sensor to identify owner
- Apple patents method for embedding light sensors directly onto device displays
- Apple patents 'super resolution' multi-sensor cameras with cube prisms

Analysis of Information Feedback and Selfconfirming Equilibrium
Recent research emphasizes the importance of information feedback in situations of recurrent decisions and strategic interaction, showing how it affects the uncertainty that underlies selfcon?rming equilibrium (e.g., Battigalli et al. [9, 2015], Fudenberg and Kamada [13, 2015]). Here, we discuss in detail several properties of this key feature of recurrent interaction and derive relationships. This allows us to elucidate our notion of Maxmin selfconfi?rming equilibrium, hereby agents are extremely ambiguity averse, and to compare it with the partially-speci?ed-probabilities (PSP) equilibrium of Lehrer [19, 2012]. Symmetric Maxmin selfcon?firming equilibrium in mixed strategies exists under either ?observable payoffs,?or ?separable feedback.?The latter assumption makes this equilibrium concept essentially equivalent to PSP-equilibrium. If observability of payoffs holds as well, then these equilibrium concepts collapse to mixed Nash equilibrium. Keywords: Selfconfi?rming equilibrium, conjectural equilibrium, information feedback, ambiguity aversion, partially speci?ed probabilities. JEL classification: C72, D80.

My name is Philip Michael Eby and I've had the blessing of growing up in a Christian family all my life. I thank God every day for the tremendous blessings He has put in my life. I am so undeserving of any of it! I love the Lord though in the good and the bad. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. I can't quite explain my Christian walk with Christ. But, I can't seem to get away from His tremendous love. He has me in His hand and He keeps drawing me back to Himself. I've wandered so far from my home, but He keeps bringing me back into His presence. I love my Savior!

Visits to social networks from users in the U.K. surpassed those to search engines for the first time in May, according to data from Experian Hitwise.
The online measurement company estimates 11.88 percent of traffic was to sites in its social networking and forums category, which includes social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Meanwhile, traffic to sites in its search engine category accounted for 11.33 percent of visits, with Google receiving 90 percent of that traffic.
According to Hitwise, search engines accounted for over 13 percent of visits in May 2007, representing a drop of almost three percentage points over a three year period. Visits to social networks, however, have grown consistently and significantly from the 7 percent share of traffic they held in 2007.
Within the social networking category, 55 percent of visits were to Facebook, with YouTube accounting for over 16 percent of visits, Hitwise said. Although YouTube does include social networking features and much of its content is user-generated, some suggest it should instead be categorized as a search engine, however. Since YouTube accounts for such a substantial portion of traffic in Hitwise's social networking category, that categorization plays an important part in how the data should be interpreted.

Taylor Swift's Deposition Against Radio DJ Released: 'He Took His Hand and Put It Up My Dress'
Source: PEOPLE.comDate: Sun, 23 Oct 2016 19:00:10 +0000
//players.brightcove.net/416418724/default_default/index.min.js Three years after the alleged incident, Taylor Swift's account of being allegedly groped by a radio DJ during a photo op have been made public. According to court papers obtained by Billboard, the 26-year-old pop singer was left feeling "violated" after a 2013 encounter with DJ David Mueller backstage at her concert. Mueller claims he lost his job at Denver's KYGO station after Swift falsely accused him of touching her inappropriately during meet-and-greet. (According to Billboard, he claims he accidentally touched her.) Swift counter-sued for sexual assault and battery in October 2015. On Friday, a judge decided to prevent a photograph of the alleged assault taking place from being made public, but the judged denied Swift's request to withhold other evidence in the case to be made public, including her deposition from July.

Cain hit by liner, leaves start
San Francisco Giants' Matt Cain hit by liner, leaves start against Pittsburgh Pirates
Right-hander Matt Cain left his start against the Pittsburgh Pirates in the top of the fourth inning Thursday night after getting hit in the pitching arm on a line drive by Pittsburgh's Gaby Sanchez.
The Giants said he suffered a contusion on right forearm and X-rays were negative.
Athletic trainer Dave Groeschner and manager Bruce Bochy hustled out to check on Cain, who walked off the mound to the dugout on his own moments later Thursday night. He allowed three runs and seven hits in 3 1-3 innings, struck out three and didn't walk a batter. Guillermo Moscosco relieved with the Giants trailing 3-1.
Cain, who had been on a nice roll since the All-Star break, threw 64 pitches, 40 strikes.

7 week old boy has hearing aids on for the first time:
Update: a new one: "My wife lost her hearing when she was 2.5 years old doctors told her family she would never be able to talk. She was able to hear for a while with hearing aids. When we first met each other she was still able to hear with the aid of hearing aids. We got married and slowly i noticed her hearing getting worse. We tried new hearing aids and nothing seemed to help. The doctors suggested that we think about the cochlear implant. At the time my son just came into the world so we both decided it would be best to wait. Two years later we said now is a good time to do it. Things had been frustrating but we managed to work through it all. The surgery was not that bad. She was afraid of getting her head shaved more than anything. come to find out they didn't even need to cut any hair. Tell this is the video of the device getting turned on for the first time. The following day she was out side with my son and heard a noise and my son who is 2.5 said birdie tweet tweet. We just want every one to know how well these things work."
God bless Science.
You will cry.

Some thoughts on refugees
Libertarians and liberals are up in arms. Rand Paul – yes, that Rand Paul – a bunch of Republicans, and half the nation's governors have said "NO!" to having Syrian refugees relocate to our country. After last week's Paris attacks, and after at least one of the terrorists likely sneaked into France with a wave of Syrian refugees, some GOP leaders decided that maybe – JUST MAYBE – allowing a bunch of unvetted people into this country isn't such a great idea.
The screeching in response is epic. Dave Bier at the Niskanen Center has published an article giving us six reasons to welcome Syrian refugees after Paris. The first reason is that apparently the Paris terrorists weren't refugees.
Assuming that the user of a fake Syrian passport found near the body of an attacker belonged to the attacker, which isn't clear, it appears that he may have exploited the flow of people into Europe, but he was not a refugee. He did not receive refugee designation from the United Nations or vetting from intelligence agencies. He was never approved for refugee status in any country.
What I emphasized in the quote is precisely the point! There are thousands of refugees flowing into Europe. Vetting them all properly is nearly impossible, and certainly smaller EU nations don't have the resources or assets to do so! Ultimately the problem may not even be legitimate refugees, but those hiding in their midst. This is the problem. No, we haven't had an issue with refugees launching attacks on the United States. That's always been a concern, but we've been lucky. That said, considering Da'esh has already threatened the United States, is it so unreasonable to assess that they could integrate themselves into the ranks of the refugees being allowed into this country?
To become a refugee in the United States, you undergo a multi-stage vetting process and only after receiving U.N. designation by trained officers in the field. The U.S. can vet refugees prior to admission, which means we can weed out terrorists and those most likely to become involved in terrorism, accepting only the most vulnerable. Europe cannot do the same. What happened in Paris is not applicable to the U.S. refugee process.
And guess what, that "multi-stage vetting process" is pretty much worthless if we don't have assets in Syria to run checks on those who want to enter this country. U.S. counterterrorism officials have expressed concerns that they don't have the resources in Syria to vet them effectively. There's a civil war there. You think there are computer systems there that contain background information on those seeking asylum? Are there intelligence officers on the ground to collect intel? Are there U.S. forces on the ground to examine fingerprints and other biometric data? Just what is it that these people think we can do to properly vet them? The Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Nicholas Rasmussen, told the House Homeland Security Committee that this was definitely a concern. An FBI official agreed:
FBI official also questioned whether the U.S. intelligence community – with few assets on the ground in Syria and little insight into the country from elsewhere – can provide authorities with the information they need to properly determine whether any refugee could pose a threat.
"You have to have information to vet," said FBI Assistant Director Michael Steinbach, who heads the bureau's counterterrorism division. "Databases don't [have] the information on those individuals, and that's the concern."
To be sure, this has nothing to do with racism, or a dislike for refugees, or anything else. The first responsibility of a government is to protect its citizens, and anyone who claims that this is not a legitimate national security concern, simply doesn't understand national security!
U.S. refugees don't become terrorists: The history of the U.S. refugee program demonstrates that the lengthy and extensive vetting that all refugees must undergo is an effective deterrent for terrorists. Since 1980, the U.S. has invited in millions of refugees, including hundreds of thousands from the Middle East. Not one has committed an act of terrorism in the U.S. (update for those unwilling to read the source, the Boston bombers were not refugees). Traditional law enforcement and security screening processes have a proven record of handling the threat from terrorist posing as refugees.
Oh, don't they?
In a House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence Chairman hearing, Patrick Mehan in 2012 contradicted that claim.
While the motivation behind creating these special immigrant categories were well-intentioned, the fact remains that in May 2011 two Iraqi nationals who were given refugee status and resettled in the United States were arrested and accused by the FBI of plotting to send weapons and money to al-Qaeda in Iraq. One of the men arrested had openly discussed his prior experience as an insurgent until Iraq and the IED attacks he participated in against U.S. troops. The fingerprints of the other Iraqi refugee who was charged were traced by the FBI to a component of an unexploded IED that was recovered by U.S. forces in northern Iraq.
Not one has committed an act of terrorism, because they were caught, thankfully before it was too late! And even in the case above, we had experts and assets, as well as personnel in Iraq that caught the scumbags who were given refugee status in 2011.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper just this past September warned of the U.S. intelligence community's "huge concern" that Da'esh may attempt to infiltrate Syrian refugees to enter Europe and possibly the United States.
And guess what! One of the Paris terrorists did, apparently infiltrate the flood of Syrian refugees and proceeded to participate in the carnage!
This isn't "fearmongering." This isn't racism. This isn't a hatred for refugees. This isn't demagoguery. These are legitimate national security concerns that need to be addressed if we are to keep our population safe from attacks.
Does it suck for the legitimate refugees seeking asylum in the United States? Surely. I'm sure the vast majority are looking for a new, safer life. I get that. I've been there. That said, however, the U.S. intelligence community and law enforcement had more information on my family when we were coming to the United States in 1980 – FROM THE U.S.S.R. – than they do about any of the people seeking asylum from Syria today, and had information been as scarce about us back then, I would have advocated barring us from entry!
As I said previously, it is quite likely that the vast majority of the refugees seeking entry into the United States today are peaceable people. But how many does it take to launch an attack on a major city and paralyze it like the handful of terrorists did in Paris last week? It was a handful, and as far as we know today, only one came in with the wave of Syrian refugees under a false passport. One. It took a handful of terrorists to intimidate an entire country into a horrified, stunned stupor by attacking one city. A handful hiding in the thousands the current Administration is allowing into this country could wreak a similar havoc.
So don't sit there and try to justify this inexcusable neglect for our national security with pictures of wide-eyed children whose families just want to seek protection within our shores. Even the United Nations admits that the majority of those seeking to come here are military-aged men.
Don't accuse those opposing this neglect of racism and fearmongering. Don't try to play politics with our national security.
The concerns are real. If you can't see that, I can't help you.
I should really post more
I know it's been weeks since I've written anything. I needed a break. I haven't really been in the mood to write. First, there was the snow, which prompted me to sit around in bed all day in my pajamas drinking hot tea and watching Law & Order reruns.
And now… I'm off on temporary duty to Miami.
I know… HARDSHIP! But you'd be surprised how crappy it feels to go from a foot of snow in DC to 85-degree heat with 10000 percent humidity down in southern Florida! So if you have a snarky comment about how you feel oh-so-sorry for me being down here, keep it to yourself, punkin, because all you'll get from me is a one-fingered salute.
As for what I've been up to?
For those of you who don't know, I've been a regular part of the GunBlog Variety Cast along with some awesome folks, including Sean Sorrentino and Erin Palette. I've been doing this for a while now, but I've been an abject FAIL at blogging about it, because I'm lazy. So go over there and listen. Surprisingly enough, I don't bloviate about guns on this one, but rather foreign policy. Erin talks about prepping, Sean and Adam talk about… stuff, and other incredible, talented, and intelligent folks talk about guns and tech. It's fun. You should check it out, if you want to find out what I sound like on the air (shout out to my broadcaster background!).
And no, I don't curse.
So what's been going on?
Well, for one, we kicked Maduro and his band of Venezuelan thugs in the nuts with some sanctions last week. And if you hear them whining that this means the United States is about to launch into some kind of military action against them, you can laugh a little, because they're either ignorant, or just want to raise the level of whining. Fact is that they were sanctioned under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), which authorizes the President to regulate commerce after declaring a "national emergency" in response to any unusual or extraordinary foreign threat. It certainly doesn't authorize any kind of military action.
Specifically, the E.O. targets those determined by the Department of the Treasury, in consultation with the Department of State, to be involved in:
- actions or policies that undermine democratic processes or institutions;
- significant acts of violence or conduct that constitutes a serious abuse or violation of human rights, including against persons involved in antigovernment protests in Venezuela in or since February 2014;
- actions that prohibit, limit, or penalize the exercise of freedom of expression or peaceful assembly; or
- public corruption by senior officials within the Government of Venezuela.
The E.O. also authorizes the Department of the Treasury, in consultation with the Department of State, to target any person determined:
- to be a current or former leader of an entity that has, or whose members have, engaged in any activity described in the E.O. or of an entity whose property and interests in property are blocked or frozen pursuant to the E.O.; or
- to be a current or former official of the Government of Venezuela;
What does this all mean? It means we don't like corrupt thugs who steal money from their own people while undermining their basic rights using the U.S. financial system. So we cut off their access to it.
What else has been going on?
The Justice Department determined there was no basis for continued legal action against Darren Wilson, who last year shot Michael Brown in an action which was determined to be justified. Of course, Holder and the DOJ can't leave well enough alone, so even though the shoot was good, they put out a report citing racism in the Ferguson PD writ large in an obvious attempt to mollify the screeching race hustlers. It is interesting to note that the report cites revenue generation being emphasized in the PD's approach to law enforcement.
Patrol assignments and schedules are geared toward aggressive enforcement of Ferguson's municipal code, with insufficient thought given to whether enforcement strategies promote public safety or unnecessarily undermine community trust and cooperation. Officer evaluations and promotions depend to an inordinate degree on "productivity," meaning the number of citations issued. Partly as a consequence of City and FPD priorities, many officers appear to see some residents, especially those who live in Ferguson's predominantly African-American neighborhoods, less as constituents to be protected than as potential offenders and sources of revenue.
This is a problem that's not just limited to Ferguson. Nothing new and different there, and I've often been appalled at the outrageous fees and penalties imposed on citizens for engaging in a simple mistake or minor traffic violation. So I get it. It sucks.
But in the same breath, the DOJ's report claims that "The harms of Ferguson's police and court practices are borne disproportionately by African Americans, and there is evidence that this is due in part to intentional discrimination on the basis of race."
Lemme ask ya something. If it is obvious that the city's focus is on revenue generation, rather than public safety, and therefore, it views the PREDOMINANTLY AFRICAN-AMERICAN city as a source of revenue generation, wouldn't it stand to reason that in a predominantly black city, the brunt of those revenue generation policies would be… um… black, and that the reason Ferguson's law enforcement practices and policies overwhelmingly impact African-Americans is because THAT'S WHO PREDOMINANTLY LIVES IN THE FRIGGIN' CITY?
But hey, some of us don't go looking for racism under every bed and around every corner.
In response to said report, Ferguson's city manager has resigned and a state judge will be in charge of all Ferguson cases. Every town needs scapegoats, I suppose. That, of course, didn't mollify the stampeding hordes, and just this past weekend, two police officers were shot after working crowd control in Ferguson. Police charged Jeffrey Williams with the shooting. The suspect admits he fired the weapon, but claims he was aiming at someone else in the crowd.
I'm trying to wrap my head at the amount of fucking stupid it takes to make such an admission. Stupid #1) You fire your weapon into a crowd of fucking people. Stupid #2) You admit to doing so, but hey… you weren't aiming at police, and I guess you were expecting to hit your mark dead on. In a crowd. You dimwitted, miserable FAIL of a fucktard. Stupid #2) The only two people you conveniently hit are two cops. How propitious, considering the demonstrations were all about supposed police "racism."
And, of course, Holder has been sniveling about how much acts of violence against law enforcement are not to be tolerated. Never mind he and his DOJ are the ones fomenting said unrest!
OK, enough about that.
There was supposedly a ceasefire agreement reached in Ukraine. Well, it was reached, but if you're thinking that it's somehow been effective, you'd be wrong. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says the ceasefire is "fragile." I think while violence has been reduced some, he's the master of the understatement. If you want a boots on the ground (so to speak) glimpse into what's going on, you should follow U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt on Twitter. The Russians will tell you it's not their fault – that it's the separatists failing to abide by the ceasefire – that they have no control over said militants. Um… yeah… right. If you think that Moscow isn't behind the continuous arming of separatists in the region, I have this bridge…
Yes, I know I should keep up with my blogging, but even I need a break sometimes, so if I'm not around, it's because I'm busy having a life.
Manning Not Guilty of Aiding the Enemy
I guess we don't consider Osama bin Ladin our enemy any longer, since we won the war on terror… or something. But apparently, the hundreds of thousands of reports that whining little shitbag Bradley "Call me Breanna" Manning released being found in bin Ladin's compound doesn't qualify as "aiding the enemy," because a military judge acquitted that piece of crap of that charge.
A military judge on Tuesday found Pfc. Bradley Manning not guilty of "aiding the enemy" for his release of hundreds of thousands of military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks. But she convicted him of multiple counts of violating the Espionage Act, stealing government property and other charges that could result in a maximum sentence of 136 years.
In delivering the mixed verdict, the judge, Col. Denise Lind, pulled back from the government's effort to create a precedent that press freedom specialists had warned could have broad consequences for the future of investigative journalism about national security in the Internet era.
Never mind that the documents Manning released were found in Osama bin Ladin's compound.
Never mind that thanks to Manning and his buddy Assmange, scores of innocent Afghans were threatened by the Taliban and several were kidnapped in retaliation for cooperating with coalition forces.
Never mind that this sniveling, simpering, blubbering douche canoe revealed a list of critical infrastructure – both America's and our allies' – to our enemies.
No…. he's not guilty of aiding the enemy!
Just what is it that will make Manning guilty of aiding the enemy? Does it involve a tonguebath of Ahmadinejad's taint? Does it involve a pair of knee pads and some chapstick as he slurps up every drop of Kim Jong Un's tiny little schlong?
Just what is it that will make Manning's arbitrary and intentional release of sensitive information that wound up in bin Ladin's murderous paws be considered aiding the enemy?
This is not about investigative journalism. Nothing that Manning stole or Assmange released could be considered journalism. They released the names of sources, information about special forces, a list of critical infrastructure entrusted to us by our allies, descriptions of those who cooperated with coalition forces in Afghanistan and a bunch of personal communications between State Department employees that were no one's business but theirs.
Manning didn't do this out of any sense of honor. He did it, because he didn't feel important and thought he'd show the Army just how important he could be. He did it because he was a little drug addicted asshole.
(1:39:03 PM) Manning: i cant believe what im confessing to you😥
(1:40:20 PM) Manning: ive been so isolated so long… i just wanted to be nice, and live a normal life… but events kept forcing me to figure out ways to survive… smart enough to know whats going on, but helpless to do anything… no-one took any notice of me
(1:43:59 PM) Manning: im self medicating like crazy when im not toiling in the supply office (my new location, since im being discharged, im not offically intel anymore)
(02:40:26 PM) Manning: i mean, i was never noticed
(02:41:10 PM) Manning: regularly ignored… except when i had something essential… then it was back to "bring me coffee, then sweep the floor"
(02:42:24 PM) Manning: i never quite understood that
(02:42:44 PM) Manning: felt like i was an abused work horse…
He did it because he is a whining shitwad, who was apparently too good for the military, because they didn't give him the respect to which he felt he was entitled.
Shove the self-important shitstick into a dank cell and let him stay there for a long time.
