"I would like a church which is poor and working for the poor."

YES!!!!

And, just for paulie, here's VDARE's Peter Brimelow at last year's CPAC. paulie has cited VDARE as source in previous postings as well as VDARE members like Robert Stacy McCain. VDARE gets its name from Virginia Dare, the first white child born in the Americas.

And for those not familiar with VDARE:

Brimelow operates on the line between the mainstream conservative movement and an openly racist fringe. His book “Alien Nation,” for instance, advanced the thesis that “Race is destiny in American politics,” and that policies altering the American complexion are both wrong and against what voters desire. His website, VDare, regularly hosts more openly racist work, like Kevin MacDonald’s claim that “Jewish activity collectively, throughout history, is best understood as an elaborate and highly successful group competitive strategy directed against neighboring peoples and host societies.”

Just a reminder of who paulie is and where he comes from.

"Grand jury investigating Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), people familiar with probe say"

Democrats really have little regard for women and their unique needs in the workplace. This was a particularly slimy tactic by Democrat politicians.

London rail excavation unearths suspected 'plague pit'

Archaeologists working alongside builders on a new London rail link have turned up a grisly find that harks back seven centuries, to a time when Black Death stalked the medieval city.

A shaft sunk for the underpinnings of the new Crossrail link in Farringdon revealed 13 skeletons, lined up neatly in two rows, the company said Friday.Suspicions are that the dig has revealed a "plague pit" -- one of many mass graves used to dispose of the bodies of those who succumbed to the Black Death, or bubonic plague, in the 14th century.

Since then, the bones have lain undisturbed just 2.5 meters (8 feet) below the surface in one of the few areas of the central London neighborhood not to have been developed over the years. Historical records talk of a "no man's land" established in 1348 in the Farringdon area, where some 50,000 plague victims were buried, according to a contemporary historian. Up to now the area has never been found.

Good news for London's historical society - bad news for the contractors building the Crossrail link.  First they find that kind buried in a parking lot and now this.

Obama's chickens are coming home to roost.

CIA Plan Shows Mistake of Iraq Withdrawal

"On one level this is an implicit acknowledgement from President Obama that his decision to pull all U.S. troops out of Iraq at the end of 2011 was a mistake: Contrary to his overoptimistic claims, Iraq was not, and still is not, ready to take over its entire defense."

Now Obama is counting on the CIA to cover his rear. 

 The plot thickens.

Ryan: ‘When Government Does Too Much, It Doesn’t Do Anything Well’

“This has been a really big week. We got white smoke from the Vatican and a budget from the Senate,” he joked. “But when you read it, you’ll find that the Vatican is not the only one blowing smoke this week.”

The Innocent and the Death Penalty

Eighteen people have been proven innocent and exonerated by DNA testing in the United States after serving time on death row. They were convicted in 11 states and served a combined 229 years in prison – including 202 years on death row – for crimes they didn't commit.

 Rep. Kris Crawford, a Republican from Florence and also an emergency room doctor, supports the expansion but expects the Republican caucus to vote as a bloc against the Medicaid expansion.

“The politics are going to overwhelm the policy. It is good politics to oppose the black guy in the White House right now, especially for the Republican Party,” Crawford said.

Odd headline. Liberals and the Muslim Brotherhood seem to be on the same page on the place of women.
