The dangerous politics of Leftists regarding illegal immigrants and infectious diseases

Fascism When We Do ItFrom FoxNews.com:

Medical staff warned: Keep your mouths shut about illegal immigrants or face arrest

by Todd Starnes

A government-contracted security force threatened to arrest doctors and nurses if they divulged any information about the contagion threat at a refugee camp housing illegal alien children at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, sources say.

In spite of the threat, several former camp workers broke their confidentiality agreements and shared exclusive details with me about the dangerous conditions at the camp. They said taxpayers deserve to know about the contagious diseases and the risks the children pose to Americans. I have agreed to not to disclose their identities because they fear retaliation and prosecution.

And isn’t that wonderful?  Leftists via the Obama Administration — which crowed about so-called “transparency” — now continue to ensure the Obama Administration is the most opaque, isolated, disingenuous and foundationally untruthful and obfuscated in the history of the United States.

In other words, to health care workers: STFU about the reality of what is occurring in illegal alien refugee camps.  The truth about the infectious diseases carried by many of these illegals must be kept under wraps.  The truth cannot get out.

Or we’ll arrest you for revealing that uncomfortable truth.

My sources say Americans should be very concerned about the secrecy of the government camps.

That would likewise be applied to every aspect of the Obama Administration.  The most opaque in the history of this nation — and moreso than Jimmy Carter.

But wait until you read this:

The sources said workers were guarded by a security force from the Baptist Family & Children’s Services, which the Department of Health and Human Services hired to run the Lackland Camp.

The sources say security forces called themselves the “Brown Shirts.”

“It was a very submissive atmosphere,” the counselor said. “Once you stepped onto the grounds, you abided by their laws – the Brown Shirt laws.”

An illegal immigrant camp “guarded” by a private security force from the BFCS, whom DHS hired to “secure” the Lackland AFB camp?  When there were USAF forces available but upon request, in the form of APs — the Air Police?

This is completely nonsensical.

Since when does the Obama Administration have anything to do with the BFCS — a religious group — and, since when does the Obama Administration place its faith in private security firms — firms that it has historically excoriated under Bush?

With that, since when does the BFCS possess an actual “security force”?

This completely stinks to high heaven and beyond.

She said the workers were stripped of their cellphones and other communication devices. Anyone caught with a phone was immediately fired.

“Everyone was paranoid,” she said. “The children had more rights than the workers.”

As it is with a fascist empire.  As it is under the Obama Administration.

Brown shirts.  See above.

She said children in the camp had measles, scabies, chicken pox and strep throat as well as mental and emotional issues.

“It was not a good atmosphere in terms of health,” she said. “I would be talking to children and lice would just be climbing down their hair.”

A former nurse at the camp told me she was horrified by what she saw.

“We have so many kids coming in that there was no way to control all of the sickness – all this stuff coming into the country,” she said. “We were very concerned at one point about strep going around the base.”

Both the counselor and the nurse said their superiors tried to cover up the extent of the illnesses.

“When they found out the kids had scabies, the charge nurse was adamant – ‘Don’t mention that. Don’t say scabies,’” the nurse recounted. “But everybody knew they had scabies. Some of the workers were very concerned about touching things and picking things up. They asked if they should be concerned, but they were told don’t worry about it.”

The nurse said the lice issue was epidemic – but everything was kept “hush-hush.”

“You could see the bugs crawling through their hair,” she said. “After we would rinse out their hair, the sink would be loaded with black bugs.”

The nurse told me she became especially alarmed because their files indicated the children had been transported to Lackland on domestic charter buses and airplanes.

“That’s what alerted me,” she said. “Oh, my God. They’re flying these kids around. Nobody knows that these children have scabies and lice. To tell you the truth, there’s no way to control it.”

“There’s no way to control it.”

Thank you, Mr Obama, Michelle Obama, Leftists, Progressives, Demorats.

The politics of God

My Christ NecklaceI asked before, back in my January 2010 post:

Where do you hold God?  Church or heart?

My answer back then was clearly: in my heart.

This issue has arisen again recently because of a narrow ruling that Hugh Hewitt revealed indicating a crescendo of criticism involving religion.  His very important Washington Examiner article is here.  He writes about anti-Semitism and the Presbyterian Church of the USA.

Where, once again, man show the rude side of the politics of God.

So that made me think again: where do I come down with regard to the politics of God involving man?

As I wrote in my January 2010 post:

I very rarely speak or write about my religion or my beliefs. I’m of the opinion that my relationship with God primarily involves myself and my Lord. Individually, I’m not a “joiner” per se; my life doesn’t quite revolve around the approval of other humans and it never has. I tend to be a loner by nature and my friends — well, I’m not quite sure that I really have even one very close external friend at this point in my life. I have many acquaintances; that is true. I’d have to say my wife is my best close friend, amongst other roles.

I don’t believe in man, but I believe in God.  I don’t need the trappings of a church to hold God close.  I don’t require the approval of many people in a group to try to be a better man.  And I see, day after day, the fallibility of man and the supremacy of God.  I don’t hold the bible as the ultimate word of God because the bible is rife with the base motivations of man, to include greed, envy, pride, power, and the politics of a few thousand years ago.  The bible was vetted by the Council of Nicea and, as with any gathering of men, there were the political ramifications of what got into the bible and what was excluded.  And that does not even factor in the sometimes very poor historical memory of man himself, tales handed down through the ages by those not of first-hand view.

So, to see these frequently incredibly petty views of man merely emphasizes my view of man and God: I’ll take God any day.  Sunni vs Shiite, Catholic vs Protestant, it’s all immaterial and pointless to me with one exception: it emphasizes my belief in holding God close to my vest.  My God isn’t “better” than your God until and unless you want to kill me or convert me.  Because organized religion has taught me one thing: it is corruptive and confuses the essential core values and meaning of worshiping God.  Man, being fallible, gets caught up in the trappings of man himself and forgets the overarching picture.

Which is why I don’t believe in organized religion and why man still fights man over the make, means and manner in which he holds homage to God.

If you enjoy going to church and the concomitant internal struggles you see perhaps in your own religion or perhaps in your very own house of worship, then blessings upon you.  In my opinion, however, life is too short for me to worry about the pettiness of man and the politics of God in some building.

People may not care for this post but, again, I don’t write for you.  I write for me.  You read me or you don’t.  But should you wish to share your opinion, please do so.

Bottom line: I don’t believe in man.  I believe in God.

Monday’s second SCOTUS ruling in re Union membership:

On the heels of the Monday SCOTUS ruling involving Hobby Lobby et al:

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that some corporations can hold religious objections that allow them to opt out of the new health law requirement that they cover contraceptives for women.

Leftists, Progressives and Demorats all began their unanimous bleat about a so-called “war on women.”

4.2.7It is, instead, a War on the American Taxpayer.  In terms of making the American Taxpayer responsible for funding contraception for women who still have any number of free venues available to them for contraceptive solutions, to include Planned Parenthood and various clinics open in each and every college and university across the land.

The argument was predicated upon religion, yes.  But I submit it was also foundationally (if not more so) predicated upon the mandatory payment, by businesses, of contraception for women.  Not just for religious-based businesses but for all businesses.  And: WHY should ANY business be forced to pay for contraception for any employee?

Male or female, Viagra or pill or diaphragm or condom, no business should be forced by government to pay for those contraceptive items.  According to four justices, however, you cannot even opt out.  Do they not understand that the federal government is not solving the nation’s problems?

That said, there was a second SCOTUS ruling that occurred on Monday, less revealed.

Harris v. Quinn, 5-4.

From the AP.org:

Court: Public union can’t make nonmembers pay fees

by Sam Hananel

WASHINGTON (AP)

The Supreme Court dealt a blow to public sector unions Monday, ruling that thousands of home health care workers in Illinois cannot be required to pay fees that help cover a union’s costs of collective bargaining.

In a 5-4 split along ideological lines, the justices said the practice violates the First Amendment rights of nonmembers who disagree with the positions that unions take.

This sounds like a negative SEIU ruling, as affecting Fornicalia.

The ruling is a setback for labor unions that have bolstered their ranks and their bank accounts in Illinois and other states by signing up hundreds of thousands of in-home care workers. It could lead to an exodus of members who will have little incentive to pay dues if nonmembers don’t have to share the burden of union costs.

As in: what becomes the benefit in joining a so-called “union,” in terms of my bottom-line paycheck?

Writing for the court, Justice Samuel Alito said home care workers “are different from full-fledged public employees” because they work primarily for their disabled or elderly customers and do not have most of the rights and benefits of state employees. The ruling does not affect private sector workers.

P.S.

If one more liberal Justice is appointed in this country, we will lose our social and political and personal freedoms in this country.  And then woe, shall we be.

ObamaKare cracks: SCOTUS rules about forced contraception coverage

SCOTUS 2014From the Associated Press:

Justices: Can’t make employers cover contraception

by Mark Sherman

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Monday that some corporations can hold religious objections that allow them to opt out of the new health law requirement that they cover contraceptives for women.

The justices’ 5-4 decision is the first time that the high court has ruled that profit-seeking businesses can hold religious views under federal law. And it means the Obama administration must search for a different way of providing free contraception to women who are covered under objecting companies’ health insurance plans.

As I’ve said before to women: you can have all the contraception you can stuff down your gullets and other locales.  I just don’t want to be forced to pay for it.

And with some religious-based businesses, that is now the law of the land.

Though, of course, the Obaka Regime continues to abhor the Rule of Law.
