Pope Condom Portrait And Gutless Hypocrites
The New York Times, June 29, ran a story regarding a controversy concerning the acceptance by the non-profit Milwaukee Art Museum of a portrait of Pope Benedict XVI made of condoms.
While the premeditated insult pretending to be art is not yet on display due to gallery renovations, Catholics are understandably upset.
The Times, of course, included an image of the offending artwork.
OK, fine. It’s a story and showing the image helps bring an understanding as to what the fuss is about.
The problem is that with regard to a far more relevant story seven months ago, the Times pointedly chose not to print an image that they thought might offend religious sensibilities, even though it was far more integral to the events being discussed.
Why the double standard?
The answer is obvious. Despite its long boast, the Times bases its editorial decisions entirely on fear and favor.
They are gutless hypocrites and a disgrace to journalism.
Oh yeah, and regarding the character of the “I think I’m smart” set, would the Milwaukee Art Museum accept a portrait of Mohammed ? Even if it wasn’t made of condoms?

Happy Independence Day 2015
A few July 4 facts courtesy of the Delaware County Patriots.
- There were 56 signers to the Declaration of Independence.
- Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Roger Sherman and Robert R. Livingston comprised the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration. Jefferson, regarded as the strongest and most eloquent writer, wrote most of the document.
- John Hancock, President of the Second Continental Congress, was the first signer to the Declaration of Independence. He did so in an entirely blank space making it the largest and most famous signature — hence the term John Hancock, which is still used today as a synonym for signature.
- Benjamin Franklin (age 70), who represented Pennsylvania, was the oldest of the signers. Edward Rutledge (age 26), of South Carolina, was the youngest.
- Two future presidents signed, John Adams (second President) and Thomas Jefferson (third President). Both died on the 50th anniversary of signing the Declaration (July 4, 1826).
- Robert Livingston, who represented New York, was on the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence but was recalled by his state before he could sign it.
- Charles Carroll, who represented Maryland, was the last surviving signer of the Declaration. He died in 1832 at the age of 95.

Wolf Veto Protected Special Interests
State Sen. Scott Wagner (R-28) notes that the budget vetoed, June 30, by Gov. Wolf provided for structural reform to the pension system, which is the primary cost driver for the state government and school districts and contained significant increases to education across the board.
It also did not raise taxes.
So why did Wolf veto it? It disadvantaged the special interests that are his true constituency.
We hope and pray that Wagner and the rest of the legislature stand by their guns and ignore the stones thrown by the old media which also put the special interests first rather than those who want to live their lives without taking from others.

Mondelez Workers Failed By Union
Mondelez, the Illinois food giant that was spun off of Kraft Foods Inc. in 2012 shut its bakery at Roosevelt Boulevard and Byberry Road last week reported today’s (July 1) Philadelphia Inquirer.
So 350 workers union workers are out of work along with the hundreds of drivers who shipped its products under the Nabisco, Standard Brands and Kraft corporate labels.
The suspicion is that the products will now be made at a government-subsidized, largely-automated, multimillion-dollar facility in Monterey, Mexico, where the pay is not $24 per hour and benefits.
Wonder when the union rank and file is going to wake up to the reality that the money automatically deducted from their paychecks is used to lobby for causes that are anything but in their interests.
Wonder when it is is going to dawn on them that the most successful political organizations are those whose officers are paid with dues collected voluntarily and not automatically.
Wonder when it’s going to dawn on them that the power to withhold a contribution is a pretty strong bargaining chip.
