POSITRACTION: White House's "No Comment" should activate moral outrage

White House: No Comment on Gosnell “Beheading” Babies in Abortions
by Steven Ertelt | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 4/15/13 1:59 PM

*** begin quote ***

White House spokesman Jay Carney today said President Barack Obama has no comment on the murder trial involving late-term abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell.

*** end quote ***

Yeah, I know, what's positive about this.

It's rubbing the killing of babies under the rubric of "choice" in all the Sheeple's noses.

I've read the stories and it takes a pretty hard heart not to cry.

I think back what my now-departed wife and I would have given to have any of those children entrusted to our care.

I find this a POSITIVE story, because until we look EVIL right in the eye, call it for what it is, and get enraged, then we can turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to it.

I hope every Jasper, regardless of their position on the issue, reads every story.

It motivates me to action. I hope it will you.

Remarks by
Thomas J. Curry
Comptroller of the Currency
Manhattan College
Bronx, New York
April 30, 2013

Thank you.

It is a pleasure to return to my alma mater — and to be delivering the lecture instead of being lectured to.

That takes nothing away from Manhattan College’s very fine faculty, and particularly from the Christian Brothers I was fortunate to have as professors.

I hope to prove that I absorbed one of the life lessons they taught me – never to use two words when one will do – by keeping my remarks brief.

I can begin by stating the obvious: not many young people have their hearts set on becoming bank regulators. I certainly didn’t. But things have a way of working out when you have a classic liberal arts education at your back. It can take you anywhere you want to go — even if you are not sure exactly where that is.

My relationship with Manhattan was shaped by history — and not just the history I studied as a major in the department. My family’s history, which made Manhattan my only choice for college, goes back 79 years.

My late father, my uncle, and three of my brothers are Jaspers, and my niece Clare O’Connell graduates this year 75 years after her grandfather. All of us drew enormous benefit from the Lasallian tradition, with its emphasis on social justice and ethical conduct.

John C. "Jack" Madden
Obituary


Waterford - John "Jack" C. Madden, 88, of Waterford, formerly of New London, died Saturday, April 27, 2013, at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital in New London.

He was born in New York, N.Y. on Oct. 17, 1924, the son of the late Christopher and Kathleen (Quain) Madden. He served in the U.S. Army Air Corps from 1943-1946 in the European campaign, attaining the rank of sergeant. He received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Manhattan College, class of 1950. His college education was supported by the GI Bill, which Jack felt was a great benefit to returning servicemen. Employed by General Dynamics since 1950, he enjoyed a 39 year career at Electric Boat in Groton, where he was an administrator of the Trident System Management at the time of his retirement in 1989.

Mr. Madden married Eileen (O'Dwyer) Madden on Sept. 28, 1957, at St. Vincent Ferrer Church in Brooklyn, N.Y. She survives him. He was a communicant of St. Joseph Church in New London, and a past president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. Together, Eileen and Jack were strong supporters of Irish dancing and culture in the area.

Jack also enjoyed coaching basketball locally. He coached at St. Mary and St. Joseph schools in New London, and then the St. Joseph CYO High School teams during the 70s and 80s. Jack led several teams to the New England CYO Championships, culminating in a championship win in 1982.

Besides his wife, Jack is survived by a son, Sean and wife, Stacey Madden, and their sons, Jack and Patrick of New London; and four daughters and sons-in-law, Maureen and Joseph Peters of East Lyme and their sons, Brendan, Kevin and Liam, Kathleen and James Depew of Denver, Pa. and their children, Claire, Andrew and Elizabeth, Teresa and Lou Harrington of Gales Ferry and their son, Sean, Eileen and Dean Armstrong of Wilton and their daughters, Hannah and Kathryn. Jack is also survived by his sister, Kathleen and her husband, John Crilly, of Whitehouse Station, N.J. and their children, Mary, John and Joe. He also leaves five cherished sisters-in-law, Bee Maher, Angela Doheny and Sr. Teresa O'Dwyer of Ireland and Maureen McCarthy and Sr. Kathleen O'Dwyer of the United States; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Jack loved Irish culture, Irish history and the Irish people. He and Eileen spent many happy times in Ireland traveling extensively, enjoying a story and a pint with his many Irish relatives. Jack was a strong supporter of Catholic education.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to St. Joseph School, 25 Squire St., New London.

The funeral will assemble at 12:15 p.m. Saturday, at the Thomas L. Neilan & Sons Funeral Home, 12 Ocean Ave., New London, and proceed to a Mass of Christian Burial to be celebrated in St. Joseph Church at 1 p.m. Interment will follow in St. Mary Cemetery with military honors. Calling hours are from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday.

Condolence messages may be left on Jack's memorial page at www.neilanfuneralhome.com

Beamon Hopes For Comeback

Written by Joe Scotchie Thursday, 02 May 2013 00:00

*** begin quote ***

Another great year for Roslyn High School basketball squads has ended. Meanwhile, George Beamon, the player who led Roslyn to a championship year in 2009, suffered his share of disappointments as he entered a promising senior year at Manhattan College. Beamon led the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) in scoring in 2009 and going into his final year was considered a possible NBA draft selection. However, a knee injury sidelined Beamon, bringing the year to an abrupt close. Still, the Roslyn point guard is determined to continue his basketball career. Once the injury was confirmed, Beamon announced that he would seek a medical hardship and return for the 2013-14 season.

[JR: I knew several Holocaust / Shoah survivors growing up in the Irish - Jewish - Italian - Puerto Rican - and every other minority you can name neighborhood of Inwood. The stories they told changed me with what I learned (i.e., to really kill lots of people you just have to control the forces of Government and it helps it the people are defenseless). No secret that I admire Jasper Dowd for relentlessly pursing an issue that everyone would rather ignore. BY not restoring the property to its rightful heirs, the thieves -- and that what they are -- are continuing the genocide. I hope any Jaspers in the Dayton area will come out and support him. And, with a big showing focus the moral spotlight on this theft.]

ENDNOTE: Dunkin Donuts as a vital to catching the Boston Bombers?

Yeah, the lockdown has significant implications. The donut part is just funny!


security theater, martial law, and a tale that trumps every cop-and-donut joke you've ever heard
Popehat

*** begin quote ***

First, just in case it's not utterly obvious, I'm glad that the two murderous cowards who attacked civilians in Boston recently are off the streets. One dead

*** and ***

But the Boston police didn't shut down an entire city. They shut down an entire city except for the donut shops.

boston.com "Law enforcement asked Dunkin' Donuts to keep restaurants open in locked-down communities to provide… food to police… including in Watertown, the focus of the search for the bombing suspect."

*** end quote ***

Now, I'm sorry, as a little L libertarian, I object to the "lockdown", but I find irony and humor in Dunkin Donuts as a vital neighborhood service.

Surely this makes you laff and cry in the same instant?
