How Did This Little Tidbit So Easily Slip Under the Radar?

Right after taking office, on January 24th, 2014 Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe appointed Dr. Marissa Levine as interim Health Commissioner.

Nobody pays attention to such appointments, for the most part, but it turns out that “Marissa” used to be known as “Mark” because she used to be a dude.

Richmond Times Dispatch slipped that into the third paragraph of that announcement.

Gov. Terry McAuliffe has tapped Dr. Marissa Levine as interim health commissioner.

Levine, who has been serving as a deputy commissioner, will lead the Virginia Department of Health, a vast agency with reach across the state.

Before taking a job with the state, she served as Henrico County’s health director and was known as Dr. Mark Levine. She declined to comment on her appointment and its significance.

I know that the Democrat party is a collection of freaks, malcontents and shake down artists.  But I’m surprised that everyone, including myself, completely didn’t know about this.  And the media successfully buried it.

Do Virginians know that their Health Commissioner is a transgender?  I don’t believe they do.  I sure didn’t until someone pointed it out to me today.

Mark-Marissa’s first move as Health Commissioner was to strip away the commonsense safety restrictions that the General Assembly and the former Governor put in place to make the abortion industry.comply with minimal cleanliness and other safety standards, commonplace amongst dentistry and other clinics.

Virginia is officially being run by those who should be mental patients.

I simply didn’t know about this.  Did you?

 

Mark Warner Realizes That His Votes Are Destroying Virginia and Goes to the Old Playbook—Enron

Virginia Senator Mark Warner is the biggest phony in politics and that’s saying something.  He always casts himself as a commonsense pro-business centrist but consistently votes ultraliberal, including voting for Obamacare.  Warner votes with Obama 97% of the time.

That fact is catching up to him so he has to pull out the old Enron lobbyist charge against his Republican opponent, Ed Gillespie.

The Enron debacle was a bad thing, but it didn’t exact the kind of damage on ordinary people as Mark Warner’s votes have.  The perpetrators of the Enron fraud were convicted of crimes and have been punished.  I am aware of no criminal accusations against Gillespie.  However, the perpetrators of Obamacare, a bill pushed through with threats and bribes, have yet to be held to account for the harm they have inflicted on ordinary Americans.  Let’s hope that changes on Nov. 4th.  Mark Warner needs to pay for his duplicity.

Really, Marky?  You can’t run on your own record so you have to go straight to the character assassination?

Of course you do.  I would expect nothing less from a disingenuous, far left politician like yourself.

 

American Mengele – Death, Outrage, and Kermit Gosnell

The mass shootings at Columbine High School and Sandy Hook Elementary School drove liberals, the media, and the anti-gun, anti-2nd Amendment brigade into an all out frenzy to ban any and all weapons for the sake of the safety of the children. It’s always for the children isn’t it?

So where are those same liberals, media, and anti-2nd Amendment brigade when it comes to the thousands of murders committed by our own Joseph Mengele? What about THOSE children? Let’s not mince words here, many of these children were born alive, healthy, and viable and Gosnell or a member of his untrained staff jammed a pair of surgical scissors into the back of their neck and severed their spinal cord.

You don’t have to take my word for it, all the sickening details can be found in the Philadelphia District Attorney’s report to the Grand Jury. Page 99 of the report begins the details the intentional killing of viable babies substantiated with testimony from clinic employees who were directly involved with the slaughter. Be warned, the report and photos are graphic and disturbing beyond belief. Not much disturbs me anymore; this report nearly made me vomit and did bring me to tears.

Despite numerous allegations of wrong-doing, the Pennsylvania Department of Health failed repeatedly to respond or investigate any charges made post 1993; Gosnell was free to butcher women and infants without fear of reprisal. Why did the state refuse to investigate these charges? Why despite reports of wrong doing did the state regulators not only not respond to reports, why didn’t they even perform inspections of any kind on Gosnell’s clinic after the inspection in 1993?
Philly.com reported:

Gosnell’s clinic was reinspected in 1989, 1992, and 1993. Each time, deficiencies were found, including no nurses overseeing the recovery room, missing lab work, no obstetrician-gynecologist on staff, and out-of-date medication. Yet each time, state evaluators reapproved the clinic without requiring or verifying corrective actions.

In early 2002, in response to an inquiry by a lawyer suing Gosnell for malpractice in the death of a patient, a state Health Department official said the agency had received no complaints against the doctor. In fact, it had received four complaints.

In 2007, the Delaware County Medical Examiner’s Office autopsied a stillborn baby, delivered by Gosnell at 30 weeks. The coroner alerted the state Health Department’s top attorney about the potential violation of the abortion control law. It bans abortions after 24 weeks unless the woman’s life is at risk, among other conditions. Instead of investigating, the agency’s attorney said, neither the Health Department nor the medical licensing board had any authority over the matter.

State health officials did not investigate even after learning of the November 2009 death of Karnamaya Mongar, who developed a fatal heart arrhythmia after being overdosed on anesthetics at Gosnell’s clinic, according to the jury’s report.

The Department of State’s Board of Medicine, which licenses medical professionals, also turned blind eyes, the report says. For example, it took no action nine years ago when a former Gosnell employee reported the illegal practice that years later led to Mongar’s death: Unlicensed, barely trained workers were anesthetizing patients before he arrived at the clinic.

Board attorneys also “disregarded notices that numerous patients . . . were hospitalized . . . with fetal remains still inside; and with perforated uteruses, cervixes, and bowels.”

Kirsten Powers, resident liberal at Fox News has even questioned the lefts’ absolute silence on Gosnell’s house of horrors, but Kirsten shouldn’t be surprised – they care about the children only when the children are convenient for their narrative. Murdering well over fifty thousand predominately black and brown babies passes muster because abortion is legal and all abortion including late-term abortions are perfectly acceptable according to President Barack Hussein Obama and his followers. Remember, he would never want one of his daughters “punished with a baby”. Interesting choice of words from a literal bastard, but I digress.

The children murdered by Gosnell and his staff were not merely zygotes without form, these were fully formed INFANTS – babies that could have just as easily been swaddled in pink or blue blankets and sent home with a full life ahead of them.

I admit that I have, in the past, been a pro-choice advocate, and even though I have been pro-life for several years, I still held the belief that abortion was acceptable in certain cases. The grand jury report and the photos changed that. Whether inside or outside of the womb, it is murder. If you still feel it is acceptable, you didn’t read the report and you refused to look at the pictures.

Please visit http://www.3801Lancaster.com for a short documentary film about Gosnell’s atrocities as well as additional information regarding the case. Also visit http://www.maafa.21.com where you can view the film detailing the truth behind Margaret Sanger’s vision for black genocide in America via Planned Parenthood. Isn’t it ironic that the very demographic intended to be eradicated by genocide is the very demographic that most strongly supports the very organization put into place to bring about their demise?

I submit that the simultaneous viewing of Maafa21 followed immediately by 3801 Lancaster and a full review of the grand jury report will move any pro-life/pro-abortion fence-sitter fully into the pro-life camp and if it doesn’t, well, as we all have witnessed too many times, those without souls do dwell among us.

 

Mark Steyn on Flukemania

The always insightful and hilarious Mark Steyn finally weighs in on the charade surrounding the 30 year old child, Sandra Fluke’s perfectly sensible demand that we pay for her contraception and that a Catholic institution should be forced to violate its religious principles in order to accommodate her. That president Obama and the Democrats gleefully used this useful idiot to advance their big government desires granting the plebes protection for their sexual romps while stealing liberty with the other hand is not really surprising.

Bread and Circus. And Condoms.

Fantastic artwork from iMaksim. Click on the image to embiggen it.

All of us are born with the unalienable right to life, liberty, and a lifetime supply of premium ribbed silky-smooth ultrasensitive spermicidal lubricant condoms. No taxation without rubberization, as the Minutemen said. The shot heard round the world, and all that.

He’ll be filling in for Rush on Monday, so if you don’t want to go read the whole thing, I’m sure a portion of it will be covered then.

Aside from the sheer ridiculousness of the phoney congressional hearing, and aside from the moral implications, and aside from a government imposing tyrannical dictates on the people, the issue Steyn focuses on is whether this debtor nation can afford to do what Obama and the Democrats want to do.

Should we borrow money from China to pay for Sandra Fluke’s rampant promiscuity?

 

A Plea for Government Provided Birth Control

It is a lovely evening here in central Virginia.  The temperature is mild and a gentle breeze is blowing. The first signs of Spring are appearing. 

There is a full moon rising and shimmering over the small pond in the back yard.  The peepers are peeping and the Canadian geese are making a ruckus as they engage in their spring time biological imperative.  By mid-spring we’ll be flush with goslings and by mid-summer we’ll be over run with geese, crapping all over the lawn and arguing amongst themselves at all hours of the night, making a general nuisance of themselves.

Mr. Obama, I think these geese are Catholic, so if you could see to it that they are force fed birth control I’d be mighty grateful. 

 

 

Attention Mitt and Rick: This is how it’s done

I saw this exchange between Newt and David Gregory on “Meet the Press” this morning and this is how the Republicans need to handle the biased left wing media if they are to win in November.

What is it they say a picture is worth?

Stay classy, Margaret Doyle. Stay classy.

 

Republican Debate: Newt Offers Best Response of the Night

We all knew that the left would hammer on the issue of contraception and abortion in last night’s debate going into it, and the crowd reacted with disdain when the topic came up, but Newt Gingrich simply put the head butt on John King, the CNN moderator, with his response. He also delivered a body blow to the President. It was last night’s Ultimate Fight Club moment.

Who is the extremist in this race? Well played, Mr. Gingrich. Well played, indeed.

 

Komen caves to shrieking baby killers. Saddleburr screwed.

Regrettably, the glowing post I did in support of the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s decision to stop funding Planned Parenthood was premature, as they have just reversed their decision.

Unfortunately, I donated fifty bucks after my blog post and now I can’t seem to get through to them on the telephone to demand a refund.  I’m not giving up.

 

Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer fund breaks ties with Planned Parenthood…

… and the proabortionists have gone ballistic, unleashing their hate machine on the charitable organization.  Here’s a segment of an email from Daily KOS, for example.

Yesterday, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, the nation’s largest charity dedicated to stopping breast cancer, announced it was pulling all funding for breast cancer prevention, screenings and education at Planned Parenthood health centers. In so doing, Susan G. Komen for the Cure joined with anti-choice crusaders like Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Cliff Stearns (R-FL) who are trying to shut down Planned Parenthood entirely.

Cancer screening and prevention comprises 17 percent of Planned Parenthood’s services. For many low-income women, Planned Parenthood is their only source of health care. By going along with anti-choice extremists who are determined to put Planned Parenthood out of business, Susan G. Komen for the Cure is essentially saying it doesn’t matter if low-income women get breast cancer.

Send an email to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, telling them that this is disgusting and unacceptable. The public outrage over their decision must be as big as possible in order to make sure no other major charities follow suit.

I left the link to Komen in the quote so that you can write them and congratulate them for doing the right thing.  Hitting their Donate button wouldn’t hurt either.

UPDATE!!!  Like a dumbass I didn’t click the link to contact SGK and assumed, like an idiot, that my message would go to SGK, but it looks like it goes to the murderous, eugenist bastards at the Daily KOmmuniSt, willful abetters to the smug SOBs responsible for the murder of millions.  Here’s the real link to their site  I apologize for my blog sloppiness.  But anybody who gave DailyKommie an eyeful, like I did, can rest assured that somebody saw it, even if it wasn’t SGK.
