Montco Dem Activist Allegedly Took Boy’s Photo In Restroom

Montco Dem Activist Allegedly Took Boy’s Photo In Restroom — A Lansdale man has been charged  by Orange County, Fla.,  with one count of felony video voyeurism against a child younger than 16 years of age for taking a photo of a young boy in a restroom stall at Walt Disney World on Aug. 2
The charge was duly reported by NBC10. Certain things, however, were left out that one is confident would otherwise would not have been if things had not been just a tad different — namely his political affiliation.

The accused, Joseph M. Cionzynski, 59, you see, is active with Friends of Lansdale, a left-leaning political action committee that supported the Democratic Party establishment against a couple of of party mavericks, according to RedState.com, which notes that he is also works for the National Labor Relations Board.

Cionzynski allegedly placed his cell phone under the stall and took several photographs of the boy, age 8, who was sitting on the toilet. The boy saw what was occurring and ran from the room crying. He got his mother and the two re-entered the room where the boy was able to identify Cionzynski by his shoes.

Cionzynski voluntarily turned the phone over to a sheriff’s deputy who did not find pictures of the child but did find two pictures of adult genitalia. The phone was seized  and Cionzynski was given a trespass warning but not arrested.  Investigators later found pictures of the boy, however, according to BayNews9.com.

An arrest warrant was issued Aug.15 and Cionzynski was arrested in Montco for extradition.

Wonder where Cionzynski stands on gay marriage? You think he might have supported D. Bruce Hanes for Montgomery County Register of Wills?

Link Of The Day

An example of the mind-blowing historical ignorance of the old media who could not say what the flag of the defunct Soviet Union represented.

And this is why people are clueless about why their lives are getting harder.

Philadelphia Inquirer Still In Decline

The latest Alliance for Audited Media report puts the print circulation of The Philadelphia Inquirer at just 184,827 with its digital circulation at 67,958 and branded editions at 54,048 for a total of circulation of 306,832. This is a drop of 18,458 from last March.

The area the Inquirer covers has a population of 5.77 million. Even including the digital readers that’s not a real good penetration.

In its heyday, the Inky’s print circulation  was over a half million.

Newspaper Exploits Texas Tragedy

Newspaper Exploits Texas Tragedy — The oh-so-liberal, oh-so-compassionate Sacramento Bee, which is the 27th largest newspaper in the nation, has published a cartoon featuring Texas Gov. Rick Perry saying “Business is booming in Texas,” with the next panel depicting the explosion of the West Fertilizer Co. explosion which killed at least 15 and seriously injured scores of others.

Ho ho ho. How incisive. Being ironic about the suffering of others is just so hip.

These people, these Democrats, who influence so many, make any decent person sick.

Here’s a link to the cartoon at Breitbart.com.

Papelbon Guns And Pompous Pretensions Of Sports Writers

Papelbon Guns And Pompous Pretensions Of Sports Writers— Phillies reliever Jonathan Papelbon, who was once a star for the Red Sox, was asked by Boston media people for some comments about safety at sporting events in light of the Boston Marathon attack.

“The Phillies did this thing the other day where we came down
through the bleachers for one opening game, and I don’t feel comfortable
doing that,” he said. “I really, truly don’t. Today’s day and age
has gotten so crazy, everything. You know, all this stuff going on.
Shoot, man, Obama wants to take our guns from us and everything, you’ve got this kind of stuff going on. It’s a little bit insane for me. I
really don’t know how to take it.”

Well, golly did that provide an opportunity for  the pompous pundit wannabees stuck with covering sports a chance to wax wise about a political issue.

“The man clearly did not major in classical philosophy when he was
at Mississippi State, so we probably should not be surprised if there is
anything two-dimensional or self-centered about his processing of the
events of the last 48 hours,” said David Murphy of the Philadelphia Daily News. “He gets paid money (a lot) to pitch (one
inning). This is an example of why we are better off letting him
concentrate on that.”

So Murphy, you major in classical philosophy? How about just an occasional reading of Western political philosophy? You ever come across William Blackstone’s quote: Free men have arms; slaves do not. You ever hear of William Blackstone? Stupid question. Of course not. You are a sports writer.

How about Thomas “No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms” Jefferson?

By the way, at least Papelbon attended college unlike high school drop out Jim Carrey, who has actually made a crusade about the issue rather than merely provide a from-the-heart answer to a question.

Oh, and here is some classical philosophy for you: μολὼν λαβέ

Smerconish Gone From WPHT — Teri Adams of the Independence Hall Tea Party Association tells us that as of yesterday, April 15, WPHT 1210 AM has a new daily lineup that does not feature Michael Smerconish, who has apparently invested the 30 pieces of silver he has earned over the last five years into a podcast.

Chris Stigall runs from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.; the always great Dom Giordano adds another hour and runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and national pundit Dick Morris joins Gary R’nel from 2 to 6 p.m.

Emptiness Of The 4th Estate

As many Americans remain unaware of the horrors created by the “pro choice” movement as unveiled by the Kermit Gosnell trial, and are unlikely to know that the man for whom they voted for president is a staunch supporter of making legal the deeds  committed by Gosnell, many are unaware that 700 special forces veterans have signed a letter demanding a new investigation into the  Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi attack that killed three of their comrades along with diplomat Chris Stevens.

Apparently, they don’t believe  the explanations offered by the Obama administration and reported by the old media a.k.a the “mainstream media” the MSM, the lamestream media.

Washington Post Idiot Journalism

Washington Post Idiot Journalism — The consequence  of bad voting/bad journalism/bad education is happening as a Drudge link to a Washington Post article shows: Cancer clincs are turning away Medicare patients.

The Post is citing sequestration cuts — as expected from a Washington establishment propaganda publication — without mentioning the hundreds of billions Obamacare has siphoned  from Medicare or considering the consequences of the $17 trillion debt that the sequestration attempts to address no matter how feebly. Quick quiz: what happens to the the purchasing power of a dollar when it loses half its value?

Further, the Post fails to consider the looming shortfall of primary care physicians as per another Drudge link to an AARP site that advocates replacing them with nurse practitioners. Hear that cancer patients? Nothing to worry about.

Commentators are raking the Post and the establishment over the coals for their hand-waving insensitivity and their attempt to use the crisis to gain more power.

And this leads us to the comment of the day from a doctor using the handle Joelhassfan4:

This
is disturbing on so many levels, no wonder there are already over 5000
comments and growing exponentially as I write. As a doctor, this is
exhibit A of why Abomination Care, ie PPACA has to be redone at the very
least. Polticians are not clinicians they have no clue how to triage,
and boy, will they be punitive at the drop of a hat!

Frankly, I
have said this at so many sites and no one seems to show any interest
in the perspective, but, I think we are ruled, not represented mind you,
by a growing percentage of antisocial scum. Look up in the Wikepedia
definition of Antisocial Personality Disorder, and apply it just to the
leaders of both parties, and you will see they meet at least 3-4 of the
qualifying descriptors.

Yeah, real leadership, go after people who are terminally ill. What a freadin’ precedent, from the President on down.

Incumbent = incompetent, just move around some letters!!!
