This Is Democracy-Courtesy Of WI Union Thugs

Andrew Breitbart

UPDATE: The Right Scoop uploaded Andrew Breitbart’s speech, and called them on all the unions’ tactics to try to get away with money, from Trumka all the way to the Wisconsin Capitol.

Saw this video from a person that was “on the other side of the aisle” as he recorded with his cell phone the tone of civility, peace and sheer American classic patriotism with decent hand gestures and moving protest signs-oh, those signs…you gotta see this for yourself.

As Governor Palin was speaking, they were shaking penny jars (this from an attendee that is a member of HotAir) and this lasted the whole event. “Democracy and freedom for me, not for you.” If Andrew Breitbart told them right then to “go to hell” I don’t blame him one bit for it.

Watch and see for yourself what happened. The media will not report this; it’s gonna be one of those “sweep under the rug” tidbits because after all, they are all for class, civility, hope and change.

Google Pitches In To Find Missing Persons

English: Please spread this information to all those that may be affected. Read below:

Español: For favor, dispersen esta información a través de toda Latinoamérica para buscar personas a través de Google.

The Japan earthquake version of the tool currently lists about 5,500 records, but the number is rising quickly as news about the catastrophe spreads around the world. Although the tool can be useful for finding information about a friend or a loved one, Google warns users that it doesn’t review or verify the accuracy of the data. Furthermore, all data entered will be available to the public, as well as viewable and usable by everyone.

Google’s Crisis Center also shows a map of the earthquake, the latest related news and lists link to warning centers, disaster bulletin boards, and train and blackout information.

The Google Crisis Center is available here, but it also shows up on top of searches for “Japan earthquake” and similar phrases. During these times of disaster, it’s good to see Google taking swift action and leveraging its vastly popular search engine to help people cope and find information.

More Coverage Of Japan And The West Coast

The blogosphere and Twitter are supplying information and incredibly disastrous images. HillBuzz, The Anchoress, Ace have been covering since last night. Michelle Malkin is also covering this ongoing disaster, while at the same time providing the latest information on Michelle’s cousin, Marizela.

I am having a weather problem where I live, where it snows for days-we get a break and snow melts-now this region is dumped in snow, with gusts of wind. Needless to say,  pray a lot, and pray hard.

Wanna Strike? You’re Fired, Along With Your License

Puerto Rico‘s Secretary of Education fired all the top brass of the Teachers’ Federation. Unprecedented!

 

Secretario de Educación, Jesús Rivera Sánchez

 

They won’t be able to teach. Education Secretary, Jesús Rivera Sánchez, canceled teachers‘ certifications to the Executive Committee of the Teachers’ Federation.  (Primera Hora / Archivo / David Villafañe)

 

NOTE: This is a rough English translation to the original news article in Spanish, which can be read here.

 

In an act without precedent, the eleven members of the Executive Committee of the Federation of teachers were decertified as teachers, and may not exercise their profession in public or private schools.

 

Education Secretary Jesús Rivera Sánchez dismissed ten teachers’ career positions on Friday and cancelled (voided) their certifications as teachers permanently, so they will be unlicensed to teach. In the letter of dismissal against them, their offenses of abandonment of service, participated in a teachers’ strike on August of 2010 – a strike in which about 30,000 teachers were absent from their work – and recommended a vote of strike by enrollment in an Assembly of delegates.

 

“This is not an isolated incident, it also comes with the deprivation of the right to have all our members pay dues to the Teachers Federation,” said the leader of the guild, Rafael Feliciano, in a press conference together with the other 10 teachers that were fired. Feliciano indicated that they will continue to remain in their trade union posts, even if they don’t get paid with salaries and continue the administrative procedure before the appellate commission of the public service, without discarding to go to court. “They will not intimidate us. We are going to fight and are going to win,” said their leader, Rafael Feliciano. He added that this action has the goal to frighten other teachers so that they won’t fight against the current administration’s plans to privatize schools and eliminate the teachers’ retirement system.

 

“The members of the executive committee knew we were going to be exposed to all these evil things and their repressive brutality on the part of the Education Secretary, since these disciplinary hearings are nothing but a firing squad,” said Feliciano at the press conference, located at the headquarters of the Employees’ Union of Water and Sewerage’s Authority Systems in Hato Rey, where yesterday the same federation would have an assembly of delegates.

In the afternoon’s meeting, Feliciano said that they will discuss any other attempts to stop more firings, including the possibility of a workers’ strike of 24 to 48 hours and a boycott to the Puerto Rican tests of Academic Advantage that students must take on the first week of April.

Feliciano dismissed complaints coming from a group of teachers from “The Commission of Teachers of the Communist Party,” which announced yesterday that they planned to disaffiliate themselves from the Federation. “The Magisterial repudiates attitudes and anti-democratic actions of the de facto leader of the Federation”, said Félix Arroyo  which is their speaker, in another press conference.

Julian Assange Talks Again-Against FOX News And Governor Palin

Julian Assange is at it again.  Cornered, first he walked off an interview with ABC, and now he’s going after Palin and Huckabee-just because they work on FOX?  I ponder this, because both work at the same network and he hasn’t singled out anybody else (yet) on the media.

Thou shall not mention his name; if you do, you will be accused of McCarthyism or something. The quotes on bold are from the article, my responses below.

Julian Assange has accused Fox personalities Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin, among others, of committing terrorism through their calls to hunt down and kill the WikiLeaks founder.

In an interview with MSNBC’s Cenk Uygur, Assange referred to the politicians-turned-Fox-personalities as “shock jocks” who should be charged for inciting violence against him and his organization.

He also referred to Huckabee as “just another idiot trying to make a name for himself.”

Pot calling kettle? As much as I hate to, I have to defend Mike Huckabee. A Christian Republican that is defending his country against one person that is determined to destroy it-by their own terms of what freedom means-cannot go unnoticed. An immature and childish response towards Huckabee coming from Assange demonstrates that he believes in his own wicked mind how much of a despot he is to other countrymen.

Asked what he thought of the accusation — made by Vice President Joe Biden and others — that he is a “high-tech terrorist,” Assange said his organization’s actions didn’t meet the definition of terrorism — but those of Fox personalities and other TV pundits did.

I have to laugh this one out because Shep Smith is included and he must be in some serious denial. Maybe it will take time for it to sink it. Just sayin’!

“We see constant threats from people, the Republican Senate trying to make a name for themselves, people like Sarah Palin to shock jocks on Fox and, unfortunately, some members also of the Democratic Party, calling for my assassination, calling for the illegal kidnapping of my staff,” Assange said.

Read that quote again. YES-he said UNFORTUNATELY some members also of the Democratic Party. What does he mean by this? Are the top eschelon Democrats involved, and are covering their butts? Are the Democrats destroying the country from within, and not Muslims in the country with domestic terrorism? Tin foil hats are in order. Because really, he didn’t say UNFORTUNATELY some members also of the Republican Party. Case closed.

Of Huckabee’s call to have Assange executed, and Palin’s demand that he be hunted down like al Qaeda, Assange said: “If we are to have a civil society, you cannot have senior people making calls on national TV to go around the judiciary and illegally murder people. That is incitement to commit murder. That is an offense.”

Attention liberals: What hundreds of thousands of Americans believe is true; Sarah Palin is a senior leader. He is NOT attacking Palin: He is raising the bar! If Assange supports Al Qaeda terrorism attacks to this country is another story that would not deviate much from this one. Now I have this question: How do you go around the judiciary on national TV? The media loves to mention Governor Palin, accuse her of something she didn’t do, judge her on the spot and calling for an execution…that’s a correct statement.  If you have any questions, simply Google it.

He added: “When people call for illegal, deliberate assassination and kidnapping of others, they should be held to account. They should be charged for incitement to commit murder.”

Sorry Mr. Assange, that does not work in this country. It may work for some, but it gets us nowhere. See, we are a free republic. We are still a capitalist country, not a socialistic nor a communist country. Therefore, we can’t charge people and throw them in prison based on loose accusations like that. Why? Because we have something called “the rule of law.”

“Some of those journalists have fallen for that, and why? Because they are worried that they are going to be next,” he continued. “But I have a message to them — they are gonna be next. … So us journalists and publishers and writers, we all have to stick together to resist this sort of reinterpretation of the First Amendment.”

I will write this: That’s why there are bloggers out there, spreading information based on our First Amendment, which is being trampled right now, along with in other parts of the world where there is limited freedom of speech. The journalists have fallen to report on a balanced way because they have allowed their inner feelings perculate through their articles, or fear to be laid off from their jobs.  That is not freedom of speech.

What journalists, publishers and writers have to do to stick together? Gain their reputation back. How? Going back to the principles of the First Amendment by reading about it. Then, tell it like it is to the audience without repercussions from their bosses. If they get upset or fire a journalist, more ears will perk up and identify those who challenge and dare to bring up both sides of the story.

Since Liberals Love Hearts, Here’s A Recipe

USELESS FACT: Cow has four stomachs.

I thought it was appropriate to share a recipe for heart (this is for COW), and usually with whole chicken and turkey, we get a heart, and I love to use it and other parts that come with the chicken, for stuffing with ground beef and raisins.

I took a pic of the heart on my hand before cooking; I am still debating if it would look proper with the recipe…not that I care. One cow heart is approx. 1.5 lbs to 2 lbs.  I have another heart in  my freezer (we bought 1/3 of an organic cow, pre-cut) and it’s really from this family who make sure their cows are healthy, without any artificial foods ingested. 

I added the image above for those who don’t know where their cuts come from.
