Rally Against Illegal Immigrant Muslims Promise to Kill Christian Daughter

Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugged is co-hosting a rally to defend the rights of teenage apostate from Islam Rifqa Barry TODAY in Columbus OH.

If you can get there at all — GET THERE.

Her father said he’d kill her if she became a Christian. She fled to Florida from her family. The Florida courts returned her to Ohio, despite her family’s inability to produce valid immigration papers.

And the Ohio courts are poised to just hand her over – like common property – to the family that’s promised to kill her for her apostasy.

Where did America go, again?

It may just be me, but if the Juvenile systems of two states have so utterly failed this child — maybe we don’t need the additional costs and complications of a failed Juvenile system anymore???

Unreal.  Get there if you can.  It’s woth the trip just to hear Pamela Geller speak.

The Night I Blew Up The Bexar County Courthouse

(No, not LITERALLY . . . calm down, you Tea Partiers . . . )

So as I hinted yesterday, I had Jury Duty today.  I went down to the Courthouse in San Antonio (which is the Bexar County courthouse, which for some inexplicable reason is called the “JUSTICE CENTER.”  I kept looking over my shoulder for Batman and the rest of the Super-Friends, but I never did see them.)

I last had Jury Duty four years ago.  At that time they called 300 of us, and only empaneled 200, releasing the rest of us by 3:00pm that afternoon.   I had spent the day reading magazines and waiting for  call that never came.  I expected the same today.

No such luck.

They immediately began empaneling jurors for jury selection at 9:00am sharp, and I was selected for a 60-person group to sit on a criminal trial.  They promised us we’d very likely be out of there by 5:00 pm at the latest.

And then they threw a bomb at us.  The defendant was being tried for aggravated sexual assault; which in Texas essentially means rape of a person 13 years old or younger.

And everything went to hell quickly.  The prosecutors began their questioning;  has anyone served on a jury previously, has anyone ever been a witness in a trial previously, does anyone have any member of their family that is in law enforcement . . . standard questions, and people answered them fairly quickly and honestly.

Then the prosecutors asked if anyone had ever had a family member or knew someone who had been a victim of sexual abuse.  You could see the discomfort on their faces as they answered; they hemmed and hawed; they asked to speak with the judge privately.  One lady had to be excused because she became physically ill.  But we al danced very carefully around the 800 pound gorilla in the room.  Nobody admitted they were victims of sexual abuse openly.  No one spoke of the unspoken taboo.

And then they asked me if I had a family member or knew someone who had been a victim of sexual abuse.  And I took a deep breath.

One of my psychology professors at Valparaiso University once told me that Child Abuse would continue for one reason; Children can’t vote. And by the time kids can vote, they’re adults who don’t want to admit they were abused as children.  So the whole thing continues to be hushed up and held in, and nothing ever changes.

And one of my advisers at VU had once told me, “If you keep doing things over and over again that you don’t like, at some point you have to ask yourself why it is you do that.

And all this swam in my head as the Prosecutor asked me if I had a family member or knew someone who had been a victim of sexual abuse.  Why yes, Yes I did, in fact.

So I looked that pretty blonde Prosecutor in the eyes and told her, “I’m Juror number 30, and I was a victim of childhood sexual abuse.  And a very close member of my family was also sexually molested, which is one of the reasons why we moved to Texas from Indiana. And the Prosecutor’s Office in Indiana refused to prosecute the case.”

I must have shocked her.  She blinked hard like a deer in the headlights of an oncoming semi.  Then she did something extraordinary: she started to cry.  A tear actually rolled out of her left eye. She paused, then asked, “Would you be able to be fair in judging the case of the accused?”

And I told her “Dear God, No!  I have no faith in the Judicial System whatsoever.“  And I sat down.

And she pretty much fell down into her chair.

And all hell broke loose, quickly and quietly.  It was all downhill after that.  Suddenly every other juror knew someone or wanted a priate conference with the judge (which I took to mean they were victims themselves, but not quite so foolhardy as I to speak it openly.)  The woman behind me began to weep openly during her questioning, grabbing my hand hard for support.  She had never admitted her abuse to another living soul in 40+ years — but she did in voir dire today.  It was a scene that was repeated over and over again.  A licensed social worker spoke of his experience with abused kids.  Several people had kids in their immediate families who had been abused by someone they trusted.  One lady brought down the house and got us an immediate adjournment for a break after she told of how a vindictive foster child had sent her grandfather to prison for 20 years on a false accusation of childhood sexual abuse — that they later recanted.

And then the judge began to lecture us on a point of the law — over and over again.  One of questions we began to get caught up on was about sentencing — would we be able to consider the full range of punishments should the accused be found guilty, from imprisonment to probation.

Only two people in the courtroom would even consider probation as a punishment.  The rest of us told the judge we did not think Probation would ever be an appropriate punishment for the rape of a 13-year-old. And the judge just could not understand why we would not be open-minded about that.

In the end we got out about 7:30pm (not 5:00 pm) tonight after failing to empanel a jury.  Only 2 jurors were acceptable out of the possible 60 — two out of 60!

Because we refused to consider probation for a rapist of a 13 year old. I’d like to think it had something to do with me making a tiny little stand for an abused kid, too.

But that’s just me; Me and 58 of my new closest friends.

SEIU Boss Molests Kids; *Still* Holds Union Posts Until Convicted *AGAIN*

Gateway Pundit has the scoop on just how corrupt the SEIU has become:

SEIU Leader Sentenced to 25 Years for Child Molestation

A California SEIU boss was sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of child molestation.

Jaime Feliciano represented thousands of SEIU members.
Hummers and Cigarettes reported on this story from News10:

A former union official and California Department of Insurance employee was sentenced Tuesday to 25 years in prison after entering no contest pleas to charges of child molestation, possession of child pornography, and manufacturing child pornography.

Jaime Enrique Feliciano, who served as a chapter president of Service Employees International Union Local 1000, which represents thousands of Sacramento-area state workers, had previous convictions for child molestation and failure to register as a sex offender.

In September 2008, investigators with the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department initiated an investigation into Feliciano following a tip. Deputy District Attorney Lani Biafore said detectives recovered thousands of images of child pornography from Feliciano’s computers, as well as images of him molesting a young girl.

Don’t expect this to get much play from the state-run media.

Geez, no kidding. What absolutely floors me is this guy had ” previous convictions for child molestation and failure to register as a sex offender” and was STILL serving as an elected Union official. How does THAT happen?

And in case the initials “SEIU” are not familiar — those initals belong to the Service Employees International Union — the sister organization to ACORN. Both were founded by Wade Rathke; both share boards of direcdtors; and both share the same headquarters in Louisiana.

Corrupt to the core, both of these organizations.

Teacher Gives Homemade Porn to Students; School Board Thinks That’s Fine With Them !?!?!

Apparently, we’re able to excuse anything our teachers do to our students anymore:

Okay, this was not “an accident.” First, it was not an “accident” that the teacher chose, Chose to make a homemade porn tape of herself having sex. Second, it is also not an “accident” she “chose” to store and keep this pornography on her computer.

These are Choices — not “accidents”.

Thirdly, it is not an “accident” that she neglected to preview the CD before distributing it to her students. That is negligence on her part — not an accident.

Does she deserve to lose her job?  Maybe — maybe not.  Hard to say without actually talking to her.  Has she been sufficiently embarrassed by this?  Probably — but if something like this ever happens again, how stupid will we feel then?  As a nurse, I have seen other nurses fired just for saying the words “damn” or “hell” in a patient’s presence.  No disrespect or profanity is tolerated.

And when i was growing up, nothing like this would have ever been tolerated by a teacher.

Would I want her anywhere near my kids?  Hell no — she’s too damned negligent, and her judgement is questionable, to say the least.

Texas CPS Finds Daycare Kids Locked In 100 degree Shed; Needs 30 Days to Analyze “Facts”

The San Antonio Express News has this story of the continued descent of state of childcare in Texas:

SEALY — State child welfare officials said they found children stashed in a shed at an in-home daycare operation Wednesday in Sealy. The children — locked in the storage shed with gasoline, lawn equipment and insecticides — appear to be unharmed, Sealy police said.

The Child Welfare officials have a funny definition of “unharmed.” If you lock me up in a dark shed in 100 degree temperatures with a can of venting gasoline in the corner, I think the terror alone would leave me less than “unharmed”.

Freddie Patek, 47, and his wife Marietta Patek, 55, who operate the facility, have been charged in the case and are being held at the county jail, said Austin County District Attorney Travis Koehn.

Koehn said that Freddie Patek is charged with tampering with physical evidence because he hid the kids and his wife is charged with six counts of endangering a child.

I thought the kids were “unharmed”– yet we’re charging the wife with endangering a child. Funny. No, no agenda in this article. Nope.

“It’s really, really frightening about what could have happened,” said Gwen Carter, spokeswoman for Texas Child Protective Services. “Anything could have happened.”

Yeah — if your Keystone Cops investigators had stayed for tea, the kids might have been out ther for hours in the heat and fumes.

Officials said a concerned citizen Wednesday alerted the department that too many children were at the facility. When department investigators visited the home, they found children inside a shed, in the backyard and several rooms in the home, Carter said. Carter said that about 14 children — toddlers to preteens — were found at the facility, which is licensed to care for only three children at a time.

Fourteen children — when you’re only licensed for three; scattered all over the house and yard. That rules out the “Playing-hide-and-Seek” Theory.

The children’s parents were called to pick them up and the facility was shut down pending the outcome of an investigation, Carter said. The inquiry could take up to 30 days.

And here is problem number one: Thirty-Freaking-Days??? When they found them caring for ten more children than they are licensed for? And had six of them padlocked in a shed in 100 degree heat??? What kind of incompetent, moronic, imbecilic bureaucrat needs a full freaking month to judge the merits of THAT case?

Carter said Marietta Patek once was registered to run a daycare center at her home that could care for up to 12 children. She closed that operation in 2001. In 2003, she opened what was supposed to be a smaller-scale daycare operation.

And here is problem number two: They have been doing this, with malice aforethought — for the last six years — and have been cited for problems before.

And the Texas CPS has never re-inspected the place since?

I can guarantee you there is a serious “transparency” problem — I’ve been looking for the last week, and can’t find who’s running that operation on the Internet anywhere.

Governor Perry, take note. This is a longstanding problem that is NOT getting any better.

Media Continues To Goad Deadbeat Dad Levi Johnston for Palin Dirt; Johnston Remains Clueless

This is one of the most pitiful, sad excuses for baiting a sitting governor I’ve ever read; and had these little gems:

Larry King: How are you handling all of this attention?

Levi Johnston: We’ve got people camped outside the house and in front of my sister’s school and that kind of thing. It’s pretty crazy.

King: Are you surprised at it?

Johnston: I lived back in a small town. So I mean I never thought that would ever happen to me. And when she [Sarah Palin] finally told, everybody that Bristol was pregnant and stuff, I didn’t think it was going to get this rough.

Yes, Larry, you blithering idiot; an eighteen year old kid from a small town in Alaska finds it bewildering that the media are camped put in front of his home and his sister’s school. Frankly, I find it bewildering, too. Isn’t the damned campaign over? Don’t they have better things to cover, like the collapse of the capitalist system or something?

King: When it began to be sexual and romantic [with Bristol], did the governor know?

Johnston: You know, I’m not sure. That’s a question I can’t really answer. But, you know, I think…

King: What do you think?

Johnston: You know, she says she [didn't] know. But I don’t know. I think she’d probably know, you know?

King: What about her husband? Do you think he knew?

Johnston: I would think so.

Jeez Louise, Larry!  Bait the poor kid, why don’t ya?  What, are the Palins mind-readers or something?  Maybe they actually were trusting Levi and Bristol to do the right thing and abstain, perhaps?

King: Where did sex occur? In their house?

Johnston: You know, Larry, that I’m a gentleman. And I don’t kiss and tell. So I don’t think that really matters.

Larry King, you are a cad, a schmuck, and a cadaverous creepy voyeur.  What else do you want to know — positions?  Spermicides?  If they make noise?

King: You said you practiced safe sex most of the time, right?

Johnston: Right.

King: We know that one time that didn’t happen. Were you surprised at the pregnancy?

Johnston: A little bit, yes. It came as a bit of a shock.

What — you weren’t paying attention during sex education classes — or at the Abstinence Classes at church?  Or both?

King: How did you tell Sarah?

Johnston: She was shocked. I mean she probably didn’t really know what to say. No mother wants to hear that her her daughter is pregnant at 18 years old.

King: So what happened?

Johnston: I don’t know what happened. I think somewhere along the lines, we just weren’t hitting it off anymore and…

King: But they won’t let you see your kid?

Johnston: No. I can go over there and see him. But it’s kind of an uncomfortable thing for me to go over there. You know, I want to be able to take him and do that kind of thing, go do the father thing with him and I can’t.

King: Why can’t you?

Johnston: You know, I’m not sure.

King: An e-mail question from Russell in Wilson, Oklahoma, “Levi, how much child support do you have to pay each month?”

Levi Johnston: I’m not doing any child support right now until we go to court. I have everything my boy needs back home: diapers, toys, everything.

King: Sherry, in December, shortly before Tripp’s birth, you were arrested on drug charges, right? What is the status of that case?

Sherry Johnston: I can’t go there right now. When I have my day in court, then I would love to be able to set the record straight. There’s a lot of misconception out there, but I can’t go any further than that right now.

Let’s see — how shall I count the ways?  You (a) got their little girl pregnant, (b) reneged on your promise to marry her, (c) haven’t finished high school, (d) don’t have a job, and (e) have a mother facing drug charges — which means your home isn’t safe for the baby to visit, let alone live in.

Gee, I don’t know why anyone would be uncomfortable with that — let alone somebody whose mother is the Governor of the state.

NOTE to the teenage girls of the world: I don’t care how much he says he loves you, Doctor Laura was right.  Without a ring and a date, he’s just another hrny teenage boy who will promise the moon and leave you in the wind.

And who told Larry King that Levi couldn’t see his son?  Isn’t anybody at CNN actually doing Journalism anymore?

King: Do you have a lawyer?

Johnston: No.

King: Why not?

Johnston: We’re not in a big fight with the Palins. I still like the family very much. I think we can work things out. I don’t think either one of us want to go to lawyers and try to fight for custody and stuff like this.

King: When was the last time you saw Tripp?

Johnston: A couple weeks ago.

Oh, the judge is going to eat this kid alive during the child support hearings.  No Lawyer — doesn’t visit his child — what a great catch he must have seemed like.

You know, with any luck at all we might be able to get Levi and Bristol on Judge Judy to get this settled.   I’m sure Levi would jump at the chance to be on TV again — he does for every other show — and it would be worth it to watch Judge judy rip him to shreds.

King: She [Bristol] seems to be really ticked. Is there something you did?

Johnston: That might be the case, but I don’t see what it would be.

King: In other words, you have no idea why she’s angry?

Johnston: No. I think it has a lot to do with her and my sister. She [Bristol] doesn’t trust who she hangs out with.

Like the Drug Dealers?  Or not paying child support?  Or not marrying her?  Or not bothering to come visit your son?  Just pick one of them, Levi, you moron.  Larry, you’re no better.

King: Have you spoken to the governor?

Johnston: I haven’t talked to her for quite a while, actually.

King: Well, wouldn’t you want to know what part she’s playing in not letting her daughter see your son?

Johnston: Yes, that would be nice. I mean, my dad talks to Todd a lot. And after we did that first interview with Tyra [Banks], he hasn’t — he hasn’t called, you know. And they just pretty much blew us off. So it’s just getting worse.

Gosh, I wonder why?  Couldn’t be that you’re embarrassing Bristol and her family making an ass of yourself on national TV?

Naaaaaahhhhh, couldn’t be that.

I’m sorry, but these media jackals — yes, jackals — are the worst sort of predator.  Baiting a teenage boy and girl and their druggie mother.  Flying them around the world and paying for their food and lodgings is a powerful motivator for some backwoods Alaska kids.

I’m sorry, but Jesus could do an exclusive interview on Larry King at this point and I wouldn’t watch it.

What would i have liked to have heard Larry King ask Levi Johnston?   Oh, I dunno . . .

• When are you going to marry her?
• Why did you back out of the marriage, you schmuck?
• Was she just another piece of ass to you, or was she the first girl you screwed and lied to?
• Why have you chosen to be a deadbeat dad and not pay for the support of your child?
• When you smoke weed and get high, does your mom sell it to you, or does she give it to you for free?

Somehow, I Know It’s The Hair-Straightening Iron’s Fault

From The Gary IN Post-Tribune:

(And hang on tight; it’s a bumpy ride . . . )

Teen Reports Mom’s Attack

January 14, 2009;By Erin Guerra,Post-Tribune correspondent

A 14-year-old freshman showed up at the school at about 7:30 a.m. Friday claiming her mother had attacked her with a hot hair-straightening iron. As the teen was telling a guidance counselor what happened, with burns on her chest as proof, her mother showed up at the office to take her away, police said.

Mabel Goodall, 34, of Valparaiso, admitted to police that during an argument that morning, she was about to strike the girl for using obscene language when the girl kicked her. A wrestling and shoving match followed, and Goodall grabbed a hair straightener to spank the teen.

She grabbed a hair straightener — to spank her 14 year old daughter – on her CHEST?

The victim, however, told police her mother also threw a lamp at her and, when she missed, began hitting her with it, leaving a bruise. The teen had burns on her back and chest.

Goodall was arrested for battery causing injury and public intoxication, misdemeanors. The 14-year-old and Goodall’s two other children, ages 11 and 13, were placed with their grandmother in Chesterton.

Soon after Goodall’s arrest by Valparaiso police, her sister-in-law called Chesterton police with unrelated information about the woman.

Here’s the part that has me laughing out loud.

The sister-in-law said she received a phone call on Jan. 4 from New York, by a man posing as a police officer wanting to talk with her about Goodall. The woman told police she believes she received the call, and fears she will get others, because Goodall asked a former boyfriend to harass her. The reason: The two women had a disagreement about finances settled on the Judge Jeanine Pirro show, in a taping Dec. 12 in Chicago, and Goodall “looked silly in court.”

Which means we can look forward to seeing Mabel Goodall and her sister, in all their glory, in HD — on the Judge Jeanine Pirro show soon.

Joy.
