I'm dealing with only 90% of my colon and 5 feet of intestine left while trying to maintain a cheery face/attitude on a everyday basis. Which, I've decided, on most days, I do. At the beginning of my new life I did not realize how grateful I would become for the opportunity to continue living and will see what the Creator has in store for me. * *BTW: shitz* - Just another way of saying crap, (noun), and is used to express anger or frustration or confusion or excitement etc... Take your pick
I know completely out of context and adds fuel to the fire... Or so say the democrats.. You should see what those democrats from New Mexico voted against...sickening grisham
When is America going to get serious about the problem of white kids getting suspended from school for nothing? By now you’ve heard the story of Ahmed Mohamed, crowned by the Daily Beast “The Muslim Hero America Has Been Waiting For” after the 14-year-old brought to school a beeping, strange-looking homemade concealed device that turned out to be a clock. School officials, thinking, as 95% of Americans would, that it kinda looked like a bomb, hauled him out of class. Police put him in handcuffs and, even after the confusion passed, the boy was suspended from school. That earned Mohamed a planned trip to the White House, a message of support from Hillary Clinton, an offer to stop by Facebook to meet Mark Zuckerberg and an invitation to be an intern at Twitter. The police overreacted. Yet the device did look like something Ethan Hunt would lob out of a helicopter at the last minute in “Mission: Impossible.” As National Review’s Charles Cooke pointed out on Twitter, the scary-looking tangle of wires “looks a lot more like a bomb than a pop tart looks like a gun.” Josh Welch, a white Maryland kid with ADHD who was 7 years old when he was kicked out of school for chewing a Pop-Tart into the shape of a pistol and pretending to shoot other students with it, must be puzzled. Where’s his White House invitation? Where’s his chance to start networking at Facebook? His parents were forced to hire a lawyer and spent a year and a half just trying to get the suspension erased from the kid’s record. They were repeatedly refused. “I stand with Ahmed, too. But I also stand with Alex Stone,” noted Reason writer Robby Soave. Alex Stone, a 16-year-old white kid from Summerville, SC, wrote a short story in which he imagined using a gun to kill a dinosaur. For this his locker was searched and he was arrested, handcuffed, charged with “disorderly conduct” and suspended from school for three days. Obviously the White House and Mark Zuckerberg couldn’t be bothered to comment, but you’d think that, at the very least, Stephen King would have sent out a tweet expressing outrage that imagination was being punished. Nada. In Dyer County, Tenn., Kendra Turner says she was suspended for saying, “Bless you” after a student sneezed, and that her teacher told her that she would have no “godly speaking in class.” Modal TriggerThe homemade clock that Ahmed Mohamed brought to schoolPhoto: APA school administrator said, “This was not a religious issue at all, but more of an issue the teacher felt was a distraction in her class.” Uh-huh. School leadership offered no explanation for the photos posted by students that showed “bless you” on a list of expressions banned in the classroom. Turner is still waiting for her call from President Obama. Are white kids being punished en masse for dopey quasi-infractions because of their race? Of course not. That’s ridiculous. But it’s equally absurd to suggest that you have to be Muslim, or brown-skinned, or live in Texas, to be subjected to overenthusiastic use of school discipline and police force. “It never would have happened to a white kid”? It happens to white kids all. The. Time. The main difference between the Ahmed Mohamed case and the others is that the mainstream media and the leftist point of view it presents just can’t let go of Ahmed. Ahmed is too useful to their narrative to be a one-day story. That Bristol Palin said on Facebook that President Obama didn’t need to get involved in the situation proved irresistible for the media, which loves to depict America as a bitter standoff between red-state hicks on the one hand and sophisticated members of the cool bicoastal techno-media club on the other. Let’s just savor for a moment that the musings of the daughter of an unemployed former governor constitute national news. This year the brother of a sitting president made derogatory comments about the leader of the free world and the reaction from the media was crickets. Malik Obama gets the courtesy of being ignored because he has also said some crazy things. Now imagine Bristol Palin making loony statements. Would the media decline to cover them? For 14 years and two weeks now, the left has been desperate to find some evidence, any evidence, that Muslims in general are facing deep-seated discrimination because a few Muslims attacked us on 9/11. That American Muslims have instead mostly been treated with respect and courtesy ought to be a point of pride, but at no point will the left ever say, “Isn’t it great that we’re such a pluralistic and tolerant country?” The left-led push to turn a man who was, as of 2004, an obscure state senator with no particular accomplishments, into the president four years later, was centrally and crucially about race. Everyone else was being subjected to a bait-and-switch. Instead of being credited with enlightenment for being the only white-majority country ever to elect a black leader, now we’re told that everything is about racism.
I feel so bad that I have fallen away from updating this blog on a regular basis .... If I promise to keep it up that might be just a little bit of lie.
Live a real exiting life - - as evidenced by the lack of posts. My biggest drama and excitement? My INR shot up to 4.8 with no rational reason... everyone seems (except me) to be a little bit panicked...
No sniveling here BUT if it ain't my luck. I've known for a while I had a lump in my left boob but it was no big deal Until it started to hurt. How I found out there was pain is when my little doggie jumped up to sit on my lap and he leaned against my chest and I felt the pain. Goofy pain instead of being warm it felt cold. Did nothing about it since I knew I had an upcoming primary care visit.
Well yesterday was the visit and I told the doc about the lump. He did his touchy feely thing and said yep, there's a lump. Things then got serious.
Anyway on Friday I am going to the radiology center (same one my wife goes to) and going to have a sonogram done with the possibility of a needle biopsy.
Told my wife last night if it is cancer I am going to enlist whatever/whoever lawyers who work on behalf veteran's and hire them and go after the VA. I've know about the cover up regarding agent orange since the VA released the documents in 2010. I was station at Korat RTAFB in Thailand where agent orange was sprayed in the bomb dump while I was stationed there.
I did not want the hassle, and believe me it would be dealing with the VA, of dealing with it since I have real good insurance etc etc after spending 33.5 years with the Air Force. But I swear by all that is holy I will go bankrupt in going after the VA.
My birthday is coming up on the 24th. I need nothing and I want nothing. Gonna have a quiet day - which, by the way, would be a normal day anyway.
Maybe play a little HALO - - smile
BUT I am going to sound mean spirited now.
My daughter's birthday is the 23rd. Cool.... But so is my real brothers. I have no wish to say happy b'day to him at all. It has been 4 years 8 months since I came out of the hospital after having the heart attack and my intestines removed.
In all that time he has never asked me once how I was doing, NOT ONE FUCKING TIME. I get it, I have nothing he needs and since our sister has died, nothing even close to something resembling a relationship. In the beginning I called him twice to just talk but nothing out of him since. I understand he lives in Ohio - I mean that is so far away and all but c'mon not even a Facebook message or a text, or a tweet. Jesus have mercy on me.
I'm sorry I just can't be a good enough christian to let it slide.
Oh well. So much for being a nice guy.............
I get it also that the above sounds clipped when you read it but I just don't feel like making it smoother..
Seems like I have lost some postings. Can't imagine where they went. No, honestly, I know I did not delete them they are just gone. I know I posted the March weight statistics for sure. This will be my post for this AM. Be back later
My bowel movements have drastically changed since I have had all my teeth pulled out. I started to eat (kinda/sorta) protein shakes using the GNC Pro Performance® Mass XXX™ - Vanilla Milkshake protein mix. Damn, this stuff is good. I never would have EVER EVER EVER thought I would say something like that.
Simple shake consisting of 2 Banana's, teaspoon of peanut butter, 2-3 scoops of GNC, 1 cup whole milk, and whatever type of frozen berries we have on hand (although the cherries are best!), plus cup of ice or 10 ice cubes. Oh but they taste so good.........
Anyway, I am having a NORMAL (Oprah/Dr Oz) movement in the AM and who woulda thunk that.
Maybe one an hour later or so and then I am just like normal people. Been like this for a month or so and you can see it is reflected in my weight stats.
Weather is starting to warm up nicely and my body is responding well to the warmth. Still playing Halo - for the second time. Damn I can't believe I'm doing it. Oh well now (should) need to look for another FPS game. Not even going to use this forum to vent as I start to remember my sister. Data for March
Weight is 157.5 2nd day in a row woke up and was in NO, I repeat NO pain. The healing on my right thigh in the groin area has finally scabbed over. Scabs have formed that are not being pulled off of the scar. It is nice to walk around and have no pain. Saw primary care doc yesterday. Since 'MY CHART" is goofed up (long story but will leave it at that). Nurse and the doc got stuck on the tests outlined in my chart that were directed at the diabetes portion. Told them they were not reading/understanding what occurred on 10 July 2010. Hey when ya go from 203 lbs to a 122 lbs one of the problems I had went a away. No longer take Metformin, no longer have to check my sugar. et etc. Damned if they didn't believe me and did the glucose test on me. Result was a 4.7. They drooled all over that. Being a little bit of an ass I said "I told you so". Gonna be snow showers tonight .... sucks.
I can't believe that I have just plain forgotten about this blog. Would I say that is because it has overshadowed by events? Would I say the self-pity portion of my soul caused me to forget? After all, this is supposed to be where I whine and cry tand try o relieve myself of the emotional baggage I carry around. (if, indeed, I have such baggage) At this point I really care. PLUS it has been snowing here and I KNOW I HAVE Seasonal Affected Disorder. God How I hate snow or rather the COLD..... Poor me.... Lets see: July had all teeth pulled and have store bought teeth created. Bottoms fit and work great but the top dentures suck. Really, seriously, honest. When I talk they whistle. Anyway have to go back to the dentist. They are aware of of but the holiday got in the way plus the operation in December. Yeah, in the middle of December, I went in for an operation that should have lasted at the most an hour 1and a half to unblock my femoral artery in the right leg, but lasted 5 1/2 hours. Damn.... They put a stent in my left leg but tore my right leg apart. Have an 8 inch scar and been fighting the infection around the stitches. Talked with the doc about it but so far been able to deal with it via a topical anti-bacterial cream. I think today might be the last time I use the cream and leave the would open to the air to help heal it. Gonna put a couple of pics that do not do justice to how back and blue my whole leg became.
Not putting in the same amount of information as before but still charting. Have exceeded the original goal but am not actually trying to be over 160. Not quite sure on how to proceed. I know the weight gain is because I am, increasingly, having normal bowel movements. Way less diarrhea.
I really believe my intestines have now grown in diameter (girth) and am now able (starting) to absorb more nutrients. Which is a good thing.
Did something this month and will see how well it turns out. Have requested and have a new Primary Care Doctor. Without going into a lot of detail, I lost trust. We will see how the new doc is.
Weighed 158.2. Starting to become a porker. Separated every shirt I own into 3 categories: Winter, Summer, and in-between. Cleaned and ironed EVERY winter shirt I own. Mowed and weed-whacked all the yards. Washed & dried, every dish we own. Not 1 dirty dish or utensil in the house but wait: Still going to have cook dinner. Simple hamburger helper but more dirty dishes. That crap is never ending. Love my made up protein shakes like this one from yesterday: 1 banana (normally 2) 1/2 cup Vitamin D milk (normally 1 cup) 4 oz Mott's applesauce 2 tablespoons honey, 1 cup mixed berries (also have and use Blueberry, Strawberry, Peaches, Cherries, and Blackberries) 2 (normally 3) scoops GNC Mass XXX vanilla 1 cup (10) ice cubes Even published it on Instagram.... Now going to watch a movie: Mortal Instruments: Blood something or another
Last weight chart was in June. I'll get around to posting later. Had all my teeth pulled and ended up being a good thing which I will explain sometime later.
Here is an internet how to that does not. Six monthsd and no change in the stump. Finally busted my ass digging it out..
I get a B-12 shot this week, been a month since the last one AND I have to admit that for some reason this B-12 shot hit me like a ton of bricks. I cannot believe the energy I have had this time around. And being it is the tail end of the month and I still feel relatively good is just amazing. My case of the blues/depression/despondency is gone and has not come back. Just amazing. Am going to mention it to the nurse Thursday. Gonna ask her if they have been giving me placebo shots before.
Also. We have had a 10.5 inch iron skillet sitting outside for a couple of years. The wife used to use it for cooking bacon on the grill but when I fell down and played dead she stopped using it. So just been laying around in the elements. Well, let me tell you... I found a recipe to rejuvenate the cast iron online and used it and it worked perfectly. Basic ingredients were/are oven cleaner, water, white vinegar. So if you run across a cast iron skillet rejuvenator damn sure give it a try. Just be careful handling the skillet I looked away and ended up burning my thumb. Had a small inkling on hell thats for sure. As a matter of fact here it is:
All that is needed for the reconditioning
process are a few inexpensive, readily available items:
Heavy-duty Oven Cleaner (I used Easy-Off)*
Gloves
Garbage Bags
White Distilled Vinegar
Steel Wool (#0000) or a scratch pad Since some commenters have
had some concerns about the oven cleaner, I wanted to give a little more
information about the chemicals. Oven
cleaner contains lye, which IS a caustic agent, typically sodium hydroxide or
potassium hydroxide. The lye residue is washed off of the skillet, neutralized
with an acid soak (vinegar), then washed again and coated with seasoning. Lye is
used in many everyday items such as soap; it also shows up in food preparation,
from olive curing, to lutefisk (eww), to making authentic pretzels. It's also
used for biodiesel! Lye is very hygroscopic, meaning it
will pull moisture out of the air. This is why, when being used on grimy cast
iron, the aerosol foam ends up becoming a brown liquid. It's dissolving when it
contacts the air, which results in VERY little if any of the lye being absorbed
into the metal. Even groups such as the Griswold & Cast Iron Cookware
Association RECOMMEND the oven cleaner method for reconditioning cast iron. Some people advise using high heat or
a self-cleaning oven cycle (which uses high heat) to clean cast iron. I shy
away from this method mainly because the majority of my cast iron collection is
antique. High heat CAN and WILL warp or even crack fragile cast iron. Plus, my
oven doesn't have a self-cleaning cycle. I also can't simply throw my cast iron
in a fire, being that I live in the suburbs, and setting yard fires is strongly
frowned upon here!
NOTE: This method is for 'plain' cast iron ONLY. It is NOT
for enameled cast iron such as Le Creuset. Do NOT try this with enameled cast
iron.
Coat the cast iron piece (top and bottom)
with the oven cleaner, making sure to wear gloves. Oven cleaner is basically
aerosolized lye foam and is very caustic. It WILL burn your skin. Place the
coated piece in a garbage bag and seal tightly to prevent the oven cleaner from
drying out.
This is where patience comes in. You will
need to wait several days for the oven cleaner to loosen and remove the old
seasoning. I usually check after 2 days, then wipe off the cleaner and apply a
fresh coat and check again after 3 days.
Griswold
skillet after a 2-day soak in oven cleaner.
For especially grimy pieces, letting the
pieces soak for about a week is usually sufficient. Once the old seasoning has
been removed, the skillet will be restored to it's original cast. The iron will
be a silvery-gray color. There may still be surface rust present, which has to
be removed before the skillet can be seasoned.
Remove the lye and old seasoning by wiping
off the grime with a paper towel and then washing the skillet with hot water.
Next, the lye needs to be neutralized,
and any surface rust will need to be softened to make it easier to remove. Soak
the cleaned skillet in a 2:1 solution of hot water and white distilled vinegar
for 30-60 minutes. This should soften any surface rust enough that it can be
easily scrubbed away with steel wool. Wash the skillet with soap and hot water
and dry it thoroughly.
At this point, the skillet has been cleaned
down to the bare metal and must be seasoned immediately to prevent rusting.
To season, place the cleaned, dry skillet
upside-down in a 250-degree oven for 15 minutes. Increase the temperature to
500 degrees and let the skillet heat up for 45 minutes. At this point, the
skillet will be EXTREMELY hot, so be careful removing it from the oven. Turn
off the oven.
Season the skillet with a coating of lard. (I don't but they did ) I
render my own lard for cooking and baking, but use inexpensive store bought lard
for seasoning. Some people also use shortening (Crisco) or olive oil. Rub the
lard all over the entire skillet with paper towels; the hot skillet will absorb
the oil and begin to turn brown. (THIS IS WHERE I BURNT MY THUMB. I had a pot holder wrapped around the skillet handle, I turned my attention to getting some Criscoe out of the can and the pot holder opened slightly so that when I went to clamp down on the handle my thumb hit the 500 degree cast iron.) The oil will likely smoke as well; this is
normal. Using clean paper towels, rub off the excess oil so that the skillet
just appears wet. With seasoning, like painting, your aim should be for
multiple thin layers rather than a single thick layer.
Return the
oiled skillet to the oven (upside-down to prevent pooling) and let the skillet
cool while the oven cools. Wipe any excess oil off every 10-15 minutes to
prevent any pooling or buildup. Every 30 minutes or so, repeat seasoning with a
fresh application of lard or oil, remembering to wipe off the excess oil. After
one hour, open the oven door slightly to help cool the oven faster. At this point, the skillet should be
completely reconditioned, seasoned and ready. Here is my pan all cleaned up and ready to use. I, seriously, cannot tell you in how bad a shape it was in. Really terrible caked crap and rust.
Well, the person we hired to do the flooring has finished. My insides still hurt and now have bloody stools. Dang it. B-12 shot kicked in and have way more energy and am finally doing all those chores I just couldn't get myself to do before. Feels good to not be so emotionally drained and fatigued. Need to really watch out for the warning signs. Went to run the weed whacker and found a fairly significent wet spot in the side (west) yard. Dug down and found a 1 inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe (feeds the sprinkler system) had a crack in it. Able to shut water off to the house, run to Home Depot, grab a slip joint and fix it. Ahhhhh, so nice to have the energy. PS: Even though it almost killed me to put down the flooring in the computer room I believe I did just as good a job as the pro. Actually better when it came to the smaller details. Smile
Well not quite sure if the B-12 shot is kicking in or not but I am still tired. Emotionally doing better, still a tab bummed out (shades of the 70s...grin). Run the weed whacker right before lunch and I cannot believe how weak I am. Arms were just quivering when I was finished. Will mow the yards tomorrow and then plant some grass seed. In a couple of days will relay the story of my CPAP supplies and the provider..... Will be kinda interesting.
Went to the doc and received my monthly B-12 shot. I hope the lack of B-12 is what has been causing me to be so melancholy, or despondent, or just plain screwed up. Let's hope. Still have not been able to fill the prescription for Codeine Sulphate. Seems like no one has any in stock and I am beginning to pay the price for it. Bought moulding for the thresholds for the bedrooms and the master bedrooms sliding glass doors. Hope the contractor calls, he is supposed to start on the 3rd bedroom saturday morning. Getting rid of the carpet and putting wood flooring down seemed like a good idea at the time but doing the computer room damn near killed me. Twisted my insides pretty good (bad) sick for a week or so. Some stress related to the guy doing the work. Did something not real bright but hope it works out. Initially we bought the flooring and I was going to install it. Was not very hard but the twisting and getting up and down so much hurt my insides so we decided to have some one else do the two other rooms. Came to find out that it is a racket by Home Depot and Lowes to just gouge the crap out of you. They charge X amount to put the flooring down, want the carpet removed? pay more, want the tack strips removed, pay more. You get the idea. Ended up talking with the flooring section employee at Home Depot and he suggested I talk to someone at the contractor desk. So I did and she (the boss of that area) gave me the name of a guy to call. His name was Nelson. I called him, he came to the house, looked at everything, left and called me the next day with a quote which I agreed to. We talked for a while on the phone, phone got staticky at one point so not sure of words but he did say we would talk again and he would start Saturday morning. Yeah, none of the smart questions were asked. One really good thing was that he would take payment when the job was finished. No upfront $. We will see what happens.
Here it is Tuesday, and after having a nice weekend, am back to feeling like crap. Went to bed at 9 PM or so and woke up at 4:30 AM. Tried to forced my self to go back to sleep but just laid in bed. Stupid CPAP mask makes noise on the exhale and I can't ignore it. Finally up at 5:45 but still tired. Now laying on the couch with the doggie, decided to do this, and will go back to the couch when done here. Talked with the wife about how I have been feeling and tried to figure out the why of it. Could it be a chemical imbalance in my system? It has been a week or better since I have run out of Codeine Sulphate and can't get the prescription filled because of the lack of drugs. In other words no one has them in stock and it is going to take at least another week to get any in. So am I in withdrawal? Maybe not so dumb a question but now am having diarrhea. My internals hurt and moving around but I kinda figured that was gonna happen when I ran out of the codeine.
At least one thing is sure of, no matter how low I get I am not going to have a 137 page manifesto...

I am fairly good at hiding it but...
Am as depressed as one could get without getting to the point of suicide. Don't even cry for the right reasons anymore. Mr. male macho man has been reduced to a whiny old broken down thing and you know what compounds the issue and really flummoxes me?
Out of the support group (on facebook) I am probably 85% better, physically, than the others with SBS. I don't have anywhere near the physical problems as described, so why am I like this?
On a different note and maybe the reason for some of the above. Bought wood flooring (laminate) to put down in the 3 bedrooms. I did one room that has the roll top desk, futon, bookcases, TV, etc (computer room) and it damn near killed me. I must have twisted my insides because I hurt really bad. Then I had to buy salt for the water softener and could not get any help in getting it to the CX-7 and that hurt pretty good.
Soooooooooo, had to hire someone to do the master bedroom and the spare bedroom. Been stressing out over that so much my stomach has also been hurting. Why - how come -wtf is wrong with me and stressing over this. Because I can't do what I could just less than 4 years ago?
No friends since SBS, no family around, totally alone except for my wife and I think if it would not be for her I don't know where I would be emotionally. She is a rock for sure and that is one reason why I love her.
'Nough. I'll get through this suck ass period but it is hell right now.
I has been a while and I have not been tracking my weight progress like I did before.Anyway, figured what the heck might as well add my weight info. Been awhile and it is sorta bothering me that I am putting weight on.
Forgot that I should be doing something with this. Maybe keeping up with this will make me less depressed. And I will be damned if I'm gonna whine to a doctor.
Been awhile. Damn near forgot this thing was still alive.
Went of vacation, saw my grand kids and daughter and soon to be (I guess) my ex son-in-law. But who in the hell knows. Damn sure my daughter doesn't.
Hope they work it out. If not dat is how it is.
chemical therapy needed - strange shit going on fer sure
Came back home and ended up in the hospital. While on vacation did not take some of my medications properly and suffered, what we thought might have been a stroke but was not, an electrolyte imbalance. My magnesium levels dropped low enough to cause erratic heart beat. Long story short. Pumped me full of magnesium and came home the next day. Now making sure I take the magnesium every day both oral liquid and nightly pill. No more hospital stays if I can help it.
Wife has jury duty so went with her on the first day for moral support. Surprised they have never got a hold of me. They get ya through DMV and voting records. She has not registered to vote so.........
North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem filed a legal opinion last week confirming that the state does not recognize out-of-state same-sex marriages, allowing a man married to another man to come to North Dakota and marry a woman without divorcing his husband.
While many wildly speculated that the legalization of same-sex marriage could lead to polygamy, they probably never thought it would be like this. Presented with a legal hypothetical, Attorney General Stenehjem answered three questions: whether someone in a same-sex marriage in another state can also receive a marriage license to someone of the opposite sex in North Dakota, whether they can file legal documents as "Single" when they possess a same-sex marriage license in another state, and whether this would open the individual up for prosecution under another state's bigamy laws. The Attorney General's response can be read in full PDF form here.
The answer to all these questions, essentially, is that a person can legally possess two marriage licenses in North Dakota, because a same-sex marriage license is not recognized. The Attorney General did not comment on whether such a situation would lead to a bigamy charge in another state, suggesting it was "inappropriate" to comment on laws outside of North Dakota.
North Dakota's constitution prohibits same-sex marriage since the state voted to amend it in 2004, and the state has an additional statute prohibiting same-sex unions from valid recognition. Marriages performed outside of the state are also recognized in North Dakota only when they do not violate the laws of North Dakota, which would already invalidate same-sex marriages, but the statute goes further to explicitly cite the illegitimacy of same-sex marriages in that state.
In addition to state laws permitting this activity, the Attorney General cites one of the few provisions in the Defense of Marriage Act still standing after this summer's Supreme Court decision: no state can be made to respect a same-sex marriage license from another state.
North Dakota's strict laws against same-sex unions had previously led to tax issues, as well, with the state requesting that anyone holding a same-sex marriage license in another state file their taxes as a single person, essentially eliminating the tax benefits that come with a marriage. Without even looking at the moral implications of forcing a couple with a legal marriage license to declare themselves single, this clearly looks like a recipe for tax code disaster. This opinion in particular, which allows a heterosexual union even when there previously exists a homosexual one, creates a situation in which three individuals are bound and three individuals are filing as married to each other. Because of the Constitution's Full Faith and Credit Clause, the heterosexual union from North Dakota would have to be recognized in some form in the state that provided the same-sex marriage license--whether recognized as a criminal, bigamous act or as a legal license that yields tax credits.
The opinion also creates the most explicit conflict between states on gay marriage yet. It pits North Dakota against states like New York, Massachusetts, and Hawaii that now have to choose between violating the Full Faith and Credit Clause, and upholding a marriage license they issued or acknowledging North Dakota's intransigence and violating the state's standards on gay rights. The legal opinion's uncanny timing also pairs it in headlines with the easing of polygamy laws in Utah, and provides a stark contrast between what self-proclaimed polygamists want from their government and what the individual wishing to marry twice in this case does.
The "Sister Wives" family that won the Utah suit only have one marriage license among them, and do not wish to receive any more. The man in the North Dakota case wants two marriage licenses, and the right to proclaim himself single on legal documents until he receives his second. The latter creates the bigger problem, because the parties in the case want further government involvement in their lives--not to get the government out of their lives--and this forces state governments to turn on each other.
The good news for all involved is that a case in which a man wants to marry a woman after having married a man is a genuinely unusual one, reading almost as a thought experiment designed to challenge law students on how to apply the Constitution's Full Faith and Credit and Comity Clauses. But there is at least one case--that which inspired this legal opinion, and will provide much to talk about in upcoming months, when the individuals that inspired the opinion will likely receive their marriage license.
Surely everyone knows this Jewish based hate organization by now. A simple nativity scene display was so offensive that they complained to the Air Force in Washington.
What is really funny is that the spokesperson for the MRFF is non other than the atheist named Paul Loebe. He is the Military Director for the American Atheists organization. As the spokesperson for the foundation, he stated the Nativity scene was in violation of the Constitution. “It was very sectarian in nature and a direct violation of the US Constitution as well as a blatant violation of Air Force Instruction 1-1 Section 2.11,” Loebe said in a statement. Wonder if "ENDA" covers this potential pedophile also.
A spokesperson for the Air Force, stated Air Force officials want a holiday display that reflects more than a single group, so the Nativity scene was taken down and officials are trying to determine the proper placement and arrangement of a new display.
Loebe thanked the Air Force for taking the Nativity scene down quickly. Yet, no doubt, he tries to tell himself and whatever godless family he has that his doing "good" for this country.
“Within 2 hours and 15 minutes of initially being contacted by MRFF, the nativity scene had been promptly removed,” Loebe’s statement read. “MRFF wants to congratulate the Air Force on acting so swiftly to reverse this egregious violation and hopes that in the future they will ensure that no such violations continue to occur.”
If there is a hell, I hope they rot in it. What was this country founded upon again? Not ignorant savages like these Jew and athiest. Can you believe it an athiest and a jew working hand in hand ! ! ! I hope, and it is not nice, that something evil befalls them and they have to pay a price beyond belief.
And even though I am ashamed of myself for saying the above I still think these people are no different the the Westboro Baptist church pukes.....
