Stop the Bullying: The One-sided Affair

by

crossing fingers 2I’m not going to mince words.  I’m tired of the radical agenda driven peoples, claiming special consideration for gay teens, while then claiming they are fighting “bullying” of teens.  No, you aren’t.  You are fighting the bullying of specific groups — not bullying itself.

That’s wrong!

That’s as wrong as the act of bullying.

Let’s have some real discussion here…

Gay teens are bullied?  Only gay teens?  Yeah, right!

If the supposed grown-ups would fight the act of bullying — then it would be a fight to stop bullying of all.  That would include gays. However, when only gays are the protected group of kids — it not only leaves out the other bullied kids, it adds to those who are. It is, after all, a protection at the expense of others.  What part of this picture can’t these activists see or comprehend?  Or, is it that it doesn’t matter to them?  Is it that it doesn’t fit their true agenda of promotion?

It doesn’t matter if gay teens have been bullied for a hundred years — so have the nerds and others — that doesn’t make this wrongness any righter.

A woman said to me that it is a matter of “respect”.  Yeah, and people should be taught to be respectful just because they should be respectful.  There should be no need to isolate the gays into some special group that everyone must respect, while not demanding the same respect for all others be returned.

I tried to make the point to one person, that teens, who do not believe in open sexuality, should not be forced to “embrace” open homosexuality.  They shouldn’t be forced to take part in things such as “Gay Pride Day”, or, if they are, that they are then the ones being bullied.  And we don’t get this because?

Oh, it doesn’t fit the true agenda?

From what I have seen of Gay Pride parades, it is a show of perversion — and a demand of that “in your face” perversion being accepted or else — not individuals attempting to show they are like everyone else.  Nope!  It’s shock and hostility at it’s best.

It appears that teens are being taught they have a “right” to be rude and lewd in public.  It appears they are being taught that if someone is offended by the public rude and lewd behavior, that person is an intolerant enemy to be punished.  After all, how dare someone think “certain behavior” is inappropriate in public no matter who is involved in the performance?

A man once told me that all he and his activist friends wanted was to be treated equally.  Fine, then accept the consequences equally for the “behavior” that is not acceptable in a public setting.  Stop doing the “in your face, I dare you to say or do anything” actions, while then crying intolerance because someone was offended.  Stop demanding special treatment, especially at the expense of others.

Not everyone likes my hair color or the way I wear it.  Are they intolerant?  Shouldn’t they be forced to love it?  Shouldn’t we have a Carrie’s Hair Day at school each year?  That will force everyone to be more tolerant of my hair, won’t it?  Ridiculous?  Well, so is a day celebrating homosexuality.

It’s one thing to teach teens they are special and to be there for them during those rough years, but quite another to indoctrinate them into the world of hostility and victimhood, and suggesting they now have rights they don’t afford others.  They have the right to be intolerant while demanding tolerance.  They have a right to behave in public as though they walked out of an XXX rated movie, while in a “G” public setting.  That’s wrong!  That’s simply wrong!

If I saw a teen (or anyone) being bullied, I would step-in (or call for help) to stop it.  I wouldn’t even be thinking “why” the bullying was taking place.  That’s because I see bullying as wrong regardless of the victim of it.  Not so for some of those I speak of.  These so-called righteous activists, seem to think it’s quite okay to bully the Christian teens because they don’t want to take part in something they feel is offensive — a Sex Day at school — while supposedly crying out against bullying.

I don’t see these activists, I speak of, doing the kids any favors at all.  They aren’t teaching kids self-respect and how to be respectful to others.  They are teaching hate, hostility, victim-hood, lewdness, rudeness, self-centeredness, blindness,deafness, intolerance, disrespect for self and a life centered around “sex”, rather than centered around self and all that the person can be.  Sex first — all else later, if ever.

Yes, let’s stop the bullying, some activists say, as though the ONLY victims are, or have ever been, gay teens.  Yes, let’s stop the bullying for ALL, unless they happen to be Christian teens (for example), who don’t want to take part in a celebration of sexuality (that has no business being in the school experience anyway).  Now, in that case, it is quite okay to bully them, call them names and demand they give up their beliefs or else.  Yep, that’s different. It’s also why this is a one-sided affair.  An affair that has little to do with an attempt to stop bullying because bullying is wrong in and of itself, but rather — stop the bullying of a select group ONLY, even if it is at the expense of other teens.

Yes, these activists worry so much about the “bullying of teens” and how it so negatively impacts them.  Well, if they are gay teens that is.  Christian teens being bullied and vilified is, in this one-sided affair, quite a different story.  So, I guess this alleged “anti-bullying” movement isn’t really about “anti-bullying” after all, is it?

When the Information was Wrong: The Inaccurate Public Conviction of George Zimmerman

George Zimmerman's Great-Grandfather

George Zimmerman’s Great-Grandfather

On February 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida, life ended for one young man and life forever changed for many more. There is no turning back. There are no second chances. A young man is dead and another young man faces the results of decisions they both made that day.

While we can’t take back how things played out with the Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman encounter or anything that led up to those final moments of life-death changing events, we do have a responsibility of calling the media, our president, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Black Panthers and a few others to account for their irresponsible responses, reporting and race baiting behavior thereafter.

Turns out that, Zimmerman, the “white Hispanic”, is not only nearly as Black in heritage as our president, if not completely so — he was raised under the influence of a half-black grandmother, rather than, a white grandma as Obama was.

Well, who would have thought such to be a possibility while listening to the original reports of it all?

It appears the president and Al & buddies didn’t.

Amazing how some major players of race-baiting have all run from the story, or so it seems.

The media being so irresponsible as to unjustly inflame, is beyond belief.

It used to be that the media sought out the truth and facts, but in the Martin-Zimmerman case, didn’t we see video that supposedly suggested that Zimmerman was not injured, when in fact he was?

Haven’t we often heard that Zimmerman “disobeyed” the dispatcher, when, in fact, the tape has the dispatcher saying something to the effect, “We don’t need you to do that.” and Zimmerman calmly responding, “Okay.” Yes, haven’t we heard that conversation followed by lack of heavy breathing… meaning that Zimmerman was neither running after ,nor walking swiftly, after anyone.? Yet, that bit of misinformation suggesting that Zimmerman disobeyed the dispatcher continues to follow the story. Why?

I can only suppose the “why’s”!

Without there being racism and racial profiling, this may have merely been a tragic story that was nothing more than a misunderstanding between two people. A story that might have been reported briefly and stuffed into the history files of all the other sad things that have happened to people more often than we would like to think. That’s what it could have been. But none of those possibilities mattered as Al Sharpton, the president and all those others jumped in and made a bad situation even worse.

Let’s not forget NBC’s edited version of the 911 tape that makes it appear that Zimmerman is saying that he is suspicious of Martin, because the teenager is black. The tape was edited. That ISN’T how the conversation went. Yet, people are still relying upon that bogus version and holding George Zimmerman guilty because of it.

How does NBC plan on remedying the wrongful results that rest with their wrongful actions?

Once a lie or bad information is out there, it is out there. Some will consider the original information to be gospel and refuse to consider any thought word or deed that counters the holy words of the first to speak and report. Of course, how hard do those reporters, agencies or officials try to correct their original misinformation and even outright lies? Do they repeat their misdeeds and misreporting every few minutes such as they repeat the sensationalized story headlines they create?

Wrestling the Bull: Nothing to See Here & Nothing to Worry About

Wrestling the bullOh bull, Big Brothers & Sisters, Aunts & Uncles & even watching Cousins, too!  Nothing to see and nothing to worry about?  Yeah right.  I’m sure you would never fib to us, the American citizens.  Naw!… you’d never do that.  You’d also never target the Tea Party, Conservatives, Christian and Jewish organizations either.  Ooops, I guess the sheep is out of the bag on that one with the IRS.  Gives us a great deal of reason to trust you — NOT!

I can just hear it.

Yes, we lied to you the other 50,000 times, but we aren’t lying to you now.  This time, we are telling the truth.  And that is supposed to give confidence — why?

I think the politicians and other government people have been drinking some funny water.  Their rationalizing ability seems a bit dizzy and doesn’t stand up too well in the real world of common sense.

Nothing to see here and nothing to worry about?  Some would beg to differ!  Obviously, no matter how many times the propaganda spins, it’s becoming quite plain that there’s plenty that needs to be seen and a great deal to worry about!

The Golden One Now Tarnished

by

It doesn’t matter what happens from here on out — the Golden One is now tarnished.  The glitter and shine has diminished and only some still claim it exists.  It doesn’t even matter how large that sum is — it’s nothing such as it was.  The once blind followers are falling away like leaves in a fall blizzard and few, if any, are lined up to take their place.  It’s simply over in spite of the promises.

Yes, once upon a time, there was a promise of all that is wondrous.  Life would be good for all.  All the wrongs would be righted.  All that was lacking would be provided.  It would simply be a wondrous world such as none had ever seen before.  And then it was done.  The fairy tale was over.

illusionThe truthful had tried to warn, but their words were turned into weapons against them, as the blind believers mocked and cursed with such righteousness and disdain.  But then it happened.

For all the promises and all the words — it wasn’t a wondrous world after all.

Life wasn’t good for all.

All the wrongs weren’t righted.  Instead, more wrongs were made.

All that was lacking wasn’t provided.  Instead, there was more lacking created and more fear of what tomorrow would bring.

It wasn’t even a world such as none had ever seen before.  It was simply a world most listeners of the promise had never seen or experienced or believed could ever be for them.  Now it was.

Reality suddenly became reality.

The wondrous golden shine of all the promises and all the words suddenly was no longer there.  The once Golden One, who blinded people with charm and the brilliant shine of all those promise made — could not weather the blistering truth that refused to be drowned.  The blistering truth that swirled and whipped and slashed against the illusions, leaving nothing more than a tarnished existence no longer inviting, but instead to be feared.

Oh yes, he had been the Golden One prepared to shower all with his wondrous promises of golden and bright days to come.  Then reality shone on him and his and he could no longer hide the truth, as the illusion burst and the dark void of his heart embraced the population in shocking revelation.  Yes, the truth was realized.  Adolph Hitler then stood naked for all to see, though not before hope died and change brought agonizing terror.  Not before the death camps reeked of rotting flesh and dying souls.  No, not before his reign brought disaster and hideous cruelty to the people who had once idolized the Golden One with his wondrous promises and spell-binding, but empty words.

The Golden One is now forever tarnished.

President Transparency’s Spokesman: No Comment on Secret White House Email Accounts

By: Guy Benson | Jun 04, 2013 @Townhall.com

Since President Obama’s EPA administrator, HHS Secretary, and nominee for Labor Secretary have all been exposed for using pseudonymous email accounts as an end-run around transparency efforts, have any officials inside the White House employed the same trick?  Sorry, the spokesman for the “most transparent administration in history” won’t comment on that:

Claim: Jesse Ramirez Case Unlike Terri Schiavo’s

by

Originally posted Wednesday, July 4, 2007 on Dakota Voice

I was reading ABC News’, “Pulling the Plug: Ethicists Debate Ramirez Case“,  by Dan Childs, ABC News Medical Unit (June 28, 2007) and found it interesting how the defense is still up. No case is ever like Terri Schiavo’s. There is always an alleged difference, with similarities downplayed or outright denied. Might that be because people are starting to realize that an innocent woman was wrongly starved and dehydrated to death, like Jesse Ramirez almost was?

We do have it right in our face that the law does not have true safeguards in place. Had the Ramirez family not stepped in, Jesse Ramirez would most likely not be with us today, let alone sitting up in his bed and interacting with people. It doesn’t even matter if Rebecca Ramirez was basing her decision upon incomplete information the doctors provided. It shouldn’t be that easy to make a mistake. After all, this type of mistake is beyond serious — not an Oops! It is forever and someone is dead!

There are several issues at hand.

Childs writes, “The injuries Ramirez sustained in his accident were traumatic in nature, meaning that the shock of impact likely ripped apart some of the fragile connections in his brain, leading to his coma. “These injuries, on occasion, can heal to a certain extent, allowing the patient to recover functionality. This is far different from the damage caused by anoxia, in which a lack of oxygen to the brain causes irreparable brain damage. Those who suffer this type of damage, including Schiavo, have a much slimmer chance of ever regaining consciousness. ”

Even if it is true that Terri Schiavo had a slimmer chance in comparison to that of Ramirez, do we truly know the degree? How can we know to what degree she could have recovered if she had been afforded the therapy that so many “think” she had? How do we know to what degree Terri was affected by the isolation and lack of stimulation? (The latter alone proven to be detrimental on the well-being of humans.) We simply can’t know. Nor do we know just how conscious and alert Terri actually was in spite of all this, since tests were denied and anyone who might suggest she was not PVS was then closed out with attempts being made to discredit their opinion.

Similar is that Terri and Jesse are human beings. Each had a spouse that made the decision to place them in a hospice. Each were ordered to be starved and dehydrated to death by the spouse. Each had family and friends that said they were responsive.

The difference is that Jesse had Judge Katz and Terri had Judge Greer.

In Terri Schiavo’s case, the majority of people were not aware of all the facts nor the possibility that a conscious human being could be starved and dehydrated to death by a spouse, guardian, court, hospital or simply anyone. Even if one does not want to believe that Terri was conscious, Andrea Clark  from Texas cannot be forgotten. She was indeed conscious, but the doctor and hospital felt it was within their rights to deem her futile and pull the plug. Perhaps if her case had been first, Terri would have had a chance.

The media frequently reported that Terri was brain dead, so that is what the majority of people believed, though it was absolutely not true.

The media frequently reported that Terri was on life support as though machines were keeping a dead body alive. She was merely on a feeding tube.

In Terri’s case, the truth often didn’t matter. Whatever the media reported must be the gospel. As a result, the Schindlers were often made to look like religious fanatics that wanted to keep their daughter’s body alive at all costs. They couldn’t possibly be seeing any response because brain death makes that impossible. So, they were either lying or misreading so-called “reflexes”. But… what might the majority of people thought, had they known the truth?

Childs’ article says, “”This guy was not hopeless and in a persistent vegetative state by any means,” says Dr. Steven Miles, professor of internal medicine and bioethics at the University of Minnesota Center for Bioethics.”

Would we have known that if the family hadn’t intervened and Judge Katz hadn’t agreed with them?

If Terri Schiavo’s care decisions had been taken out of Michael Schiavo’s hands, might we have likewise discovered she was not in a persistent vegetative state?

Also in the article was, “This is by no means a miracle of any kind,” Miles says. “Traumatic comas are notorious for late wake-ups.”

I agree! With the medical and legal trends as they are, the miracle was that Jesse was allowed a chance to live and recover.

Jesse Ramirez’s family didn’t agree with his wife’s decision and sought to have his feeding tube replaced. Judge Katz granted the request, appointed a guardian and set up a hearing. This saved Jesse’s life! Too bad Katz wasn’t also the Schiavo judge. Perhaps the outcome would have been much different. Nevertheless, when did it become acceptable to starve and dehydrate people to death? How can anyone suggest that is a humane thing to do only to non-criminal humans? There is no logic.

The Schiavo and Ramirez cases are very similar in that they show us just how careless we have become with the lives of those who have been injured or fall ill.

The Terri Schiavo case was a wake up call!

Though the snooze button appears to have been hit, with people still under false beliefs that molded their opinions, the Ramirez case is a loud and clear alarm going off! A man with a chance to recover was nearly murdered by a society and its trend to be too ready to give up and pull the plug on others. What does that say about us as a society?

Maybe it is time to do some serious soul searching, while we still have souls to search!

The Jesse Ramirez Miracle

News reports state that on May 30th, Jesse Ramirez and his wife Rebecca were traveling in their SUV, in the midst of an argument, when he lost control of the SUV and had a rollover crash. Both occupants were ejected from the vehicle. Jesse, 36, reportedly suffered critical injuries, which include a broken neck and head injuries, while Rebecca, 33, suffered only minor injuries.

It appears that around a week after the accident, Jesse underwent surgery, only to be transferred to a hospice the following day with orders to have his feeding tube removed. Who made the decision to transfer him and end his life? Rebecca Ramirez, the woman with whom he was having marital problems even as they crashed.

AZcentral.com’s “To keep him alive or let him die?”  by Rich Dubek and Kevin Kennedy, 12 News (June. 13, 2007 11:37 PM) reports, “Last Thursday, Jesse underwent surgery. On Friday, Rebecca Ramirez moved him to a hospice facility and made the decision to pull his feeding tube. She refuses to talk to 12 News but Jesse’s mother Theresa says “he deserves a chance to live, and she (Rebecca) won’t listen.” )

Jesse’s family turned to the courts for an emergency order to reinsert the feeding tube. As a result, Judge Paul Katz became involved in the case ordering the reinsertion of the feeding tube, resuscitation if necessary, and appointed a guardian to gather information for a June 26th hearing. Judge Katz’s actions are quite impressive after watching Judge George Greer a few years ago in Florida giving orders to kill first and ask questions later or not at all.

USAToday.com had an amazing story. “Injured man’s awakening called ‘miracle’”

By Dennis Wagner, USA TODAY

PHOENIX — Eighteen days after his wife instructed doctors to disconnect food and water tubes, a Chandler, Ariz. man is sitting up in his hospice bed, giving the thumbs-up sign and communicating with visitors.”

Sitting up in his hospice bed and communicating with visitors?

The news was reported by Judge Katz at the June 26th hearing and confirmed by Judith Morse, the appointed guardian.

The article also says, “Jesse Ramirez Jr.’s awakening, which friends called “a miracle,” occurred after his sister, parents and other relatives went to court and obtained an emergency order for feeding and hydration tubes to be reinserted, reversing a directive given by his wife, Rebecca Ramirez.”

In light of the medical and legal trend we have witnessed in recent years, I don’t think the miracle is with Jesse Ramirez Jr.”s awakening, but rather, with him having the chance to awaken! Without the opportunity provided by Judge Katz, an injured man would have been wrongfully terminated several days ago! It’s a fact that needs to be faced and addressed!

Judge Katz, through his legal decisions, prevented a wrongful termination from taking place in the Ramirez case. Can we count on someone like Katz to be there to prevent the next wrongful termination being played out? One can only hope.

A Chance of Having a Chance: The Jesse Ramirez Case

It’s happening again! A spouse attempting to have a spouse starved and dehydrated to death. This time it is in Arizona.

News reports state that on May 30th, Jesse Ramirez and his wife Rebecca were in the mist of an argument, when he lost control of the SUV they were driving in, which resulted in a roll over crash. Both were ejected from the vehicle. Jesse, 36, reportedly suffered critical injuries, which include a broken neck and head injuries, while Rebecca, 33, suffered only minor injuries.

AZcentral.com’s “To keep him alive or let him die?”  by Rich Dubek and Kevin Kennedy, 12 News (June. 13, 2007 11:37 PM) reports, “Last Thursday, Jesse underwent surgery. On Friday, Rebecca Ramirez moved him to a hospice facility and made the decision to pull his feeding tube. She refuses to talk to 12 News but Jesse’s mother Theresa says “he deserves a chance to live, and she (Rebecca) won’t listen.”

Dubek and Kennedy further reported, “An attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, a group which supports pro-life causes, is representing the family. They say while Rebecca Ramirez has certain rights as a spouse, they question whether she is the right person to decide Jesse’s fate considering their marital problems. Attorneys also say Rebecca does not have written power of attorney to remove Jesse’s feeding tube. ”

I would have to agree with the attorney and family.

According to News5’s “Judge Orders Life Support For Patient”  (POSTED: 6:17 am PDT June 15, 2007 & UPDATED: 4:00 pm PDT June 15, 2007), “Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Paul Katz ruled Thursday that the feeding should continue and Jesse Ramirez be given resuscitation if necessary.”

The report continues, “Katz ordered that an independent attorney charged with being Jesse Ramirez’s advocate investigate the matter and come up with recommendations for resolving it.”

“Katz also scheduled a June 26 hearing on the matter.”

Also included in the report by News5, “Ramirez, 33, has said she does not want her husband to live if he could not care for himself.”

Why? Is she worried that she will be required, as his wife, to care for him? Nevertheless, she was reported as saying “she does not want”, rather than “Jesse not wanting”. Her wanting could be totally irrelevant to the case. After all, it is “his wanting about himself” that is what is important here and in every other case.

Luckily, Jesse Ramirez is in Arizona, rather than Florida with George Felos as his wife’s attorney and Judge George Greer presiding over the case, or in Texas with the futile care law. At least in Arizona, under the jurisdiction of Judge Katz, it appears he has a chance of having a chance. A chance to survive and heal, if that is his possibility! When did that become too much to ask?

The Illusion: Gary & Sara Harvey Supporters Will Fade Away

by

Vintage Balance ScaleIt would seem that some misguided individuals think that Gary & Sara Harvey supporters will simply fade away in time.  Perhaps some will.  However, it is an illusion and delusion to suppose we all will.  Some of us don’t like bullies and we don’t like injustice so much so that we don’t let go of the stench trail once we get hold of it.  And, believe me, the stench trail in the Harvey case is over-powering.

Who was it that approached the judge with a request to starve & dehydrate Gary to death?  It certainly wasn’t Sara, Gary’s wife.

Who is it that has ordered Gary Harvey into a world of isolation nearly void of any true stimulation?  Certainly not Sara Harvey.

Who is it that is in charge of medical decisions and care as Gary suffers from infection after infection?  Certainly not Sara, the wife who loves him.

Who is it that has benefited financially throughout the guardianship event?  Definitely not Sara Harvey.

Amazing how those who hold the reins and make the decisions, financially benefit (or cause others to receive financial benefit), continue to try to make Sara Harvey the bad person in this reign of terror.  Amazing indeed!

I don’t know who some of these people involved in Gary & Sara’s case think they are, but all-powerful and untouchable they are not.  It may not be today… it may not be tomorrow… but one day… all this cruelty and injustice will become known for what it is and the results of their actions will embrace them in a reward well deserved in the world of Karma and God’s Justice.  The illusions gone — the truth will strip naked the deceit and deceitful for all to see!

The stench is heavy.  The truth is powerful.  It’s time for Justice to take center stage!  And, rather than fade away, many of us intend to be in the audience!

Gary HarveyTragically, Gary Harvey of Horsehead, NY fell down the basement stairs in January of 2006 and received a traumatic head injury. Since that time, he has either been in a nursing home or in the hospital and is under the guardianship of the county. Ironically, the county, who claims to be looking out for their ward’s best interest, was involved in a so-called ethics committee decision that Gary Harvey should be starved and dehydrated to death. The judge over-ruled the call for execution of an innocent man, though a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) remains in effect. Sara Harvey, Gary’s wife, is desperately fighting to get him home. One can only wonder how much he knows of what is going on around him. The following could be what he is thinking as he lays alone in that room, so isolated from the world he knew and the wife and friends he so loves.
