POSITRACTION: To oppose the HHS mandate

http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=16772

Virginia official: going to jail may be strategy against HHS mandate
CWN - January 11, 2013

*** begin quote ***

Ken Cuccinelli, a pro-life Catholic who serves as Virginia’s attorney general, has told a radio show host that going to jail may be an effective strategy to oppose the HHS mandate.

“Abraham Lincoln has many good quotes, but one of them is ‘The best way to get rid of a bad law is to enforce it vigorously,’” said Cuccinelli, a gubernatorial candidate. Going to jail would “provide an example of what tyranny means when it's played to its logical conclusion.”

*** end quote ***

[JR: Well, we are going to find out who has "huevos muchos grande"! Think of the Civil Rights leaders of the 60's and what they endured to insist on their human rights. Will "Catholics" be found wanting? Will others of "good will" join, if for no other reason than to preserve their First Amendment rights? Will Holy Mother Church finally discipline CINO politicians? Will this be the battle that turns us away from the "Secular Progressive" view of the world and return us to the great American experiment? Or is this the end! What brings people to the streets? I don't know. ]

This is the fourth year the students have teamed up with VITA. The volunteers will be at the Refuge House in the Fordham Bedford section of the Bronx, and also work with University Neighborhood Housing Program, Fordham Bedford Community Services and Ariva Inc.

The VITA program is available for Families and individuals with incomes of $50,000 or less.

ENDNOTE: Can't stop madmen with diktats

http://channel-surfing.blogspot.com/2013/01/now-mass-shootings-are-news-medias-fault.html

Now mass shootings are the news media's fault? »

This video is making the rounds on Facebook and Twitter and purports to be a four-minute solution to gun violence. Simple, right? It's the media's fault: News organizations spend too much time coveri...

"The fantasy ends real quick when bullets start coming in his direction."

# - # - # 

No, but you can't stop madmen with diktats. I like the like "put these bastards down".

And the sad reality of life, only you can protect yourself.

“Victim disarmament is the view that it is somehow better to see a woman raped in an alley and strangled with her own pantyhose, than see her with a gun in her hand.” — T.D. Melrose

Or little children dead in a "gun free zone".

By the end of March, I should have my concealed carry permit. I'm backing up words with actions. What about you?

I especially thought it was funny when there was an attempt to get the journalists who outed the NY gun owners to put sings in front of their houses that these were "Gun free zones". Probably every gun owner should put one in front of their house. Nah, I guess that would be "entrapment". But a measure worth considering! Clean up the gene pool.

And, yes, I'm pro-life and anti-aggression, but I'm a porcupine! Not a patsy.
