Hospital Discharges Dead Man Because He Was "Uncooperative" and "Refusing To Talk Or Move"

Posted by Brian

And you thought stuff like this only happens in Monty Python movies!



Mom Says Security Put Dead Son in a Taxi
By IULIA FILIP 

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (CN) - Hospital security guards sent an "uncooperative" patient who was "refusing to talk or move" home in a taxi, though he was dying or already dead, the man's mother claims in court.
The late A'Darrin Washington's mother, Deborah Washington, sued AlliedBarton Security Services, in Cumberland County Superior Court.
A'Darrin Washington died on Nov. 22, 2011 during his discharge from nonparty Cumberland County Hospital, according to the complaint.
Washington, who suffered from recurrent pneumonia associated with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, had been a patient of the hospital for 10 years, the lawsuit states.

Judicial Activism: NC Judge Rules "Choose Life" Plate Unconstitutional

Posted by Brian

Proposed NC "Choose Life" License Plate
Oh the horror!
America is losing the culture war.
Do you believe in family values?  Bigot!  Do you believe in Judeo-Christian values?  Racist bigot!  Are you patriotic?  Redneck cracker!  Do you support the Constitution?  Right-wing, tea-bagging, redneck cracker!!
The Courts, stacked with activist judges, no longer look to the Constitution for their rulings.  They rule based on their own personal beliefs, or on judicial decisions from some "enlightened" court in Europe. Our Constitution is so outdated.
They circumvent the will and the votes of our citizens, overturning measures and propositions passed with large majorities. They are routinely ignoring our Constitution, or twisting themselves into pretzels to looking for concocted "emanations and penumbras" hiding within the words of the Framers, and which only they have the intellect with which to decipher them for we unwashed masses.
So it is with a judge in North Carolina who has ruled that it is unconstitutional for the state to make and sell license plates with the words "Choose Life"( Shown above) on them.   His reasoning?  There isn't a plate which supports "Pro-Choice" members of the community. Well, if that is all that is stopping them, I propose a license plate designed around the illustration below.
There! All fixed!

My proposal for the NC "Pro-Choice" License plate

RALEIGH, N.C. – A federal judge has ruled it is unconstitutional for North Carolina to issue pro-life license plates unless the state offers similar plates supporting abortion rights.

U.S. District Court Judge James C. Fox ruled on Friday that North Carolina cannot produce or distribute the “Choose Life” plate.

NC Teacher Suspended For Criticizing Obama On Facebook

Posted by Brian
Is this the new Amerika? A country where criticism of our leaders has now become something which can jeopardize your job.  I'm not talking about the military here, where good order and discipline are paramount.  Were talking a private citizen having the right, under the Constitution, to speak out against their elected officials.  It doesn't get any more American than that.
That this teacher even apologized pisses me off.  Apologize for what? Speaking her mind?  What the administration and school district have done by putting this teacher on a leave of absence has a chilling effect on others who would dare to speak out against those they disagree with.
This is the modern day left, who though they call themselves progressive, are really regressive. They lecture us as conservatives as living in the past because we would return to Constitutional principles.  In, fact it is they who are living in the past.  They seek to return to the days of Marx, Lenin, Mao, Hitler, and other despots throughout history, where criticizing the "king" got you imprisoned, or worse.
Sharon Aceta should not have apologized, although I understand she did so because of the fear of losing her job.  No, the school, the district, and the intolerant boobs who were "offended" by her Facebook post should apologize to her.
We still live in America, and unless or until this country has undergone it's final "fundamental" transformation, I will continue to speak out, and defend others who do, as well.



Teacher put on leave after Facebook post about Obama
Posted on: 7:02 pm, November 10, 2012, by Joe Borlik, updated on: 07:03pm, November 10, 2012

ROCK HILL, S.C. — A South Carolina middle school teacher was put on leave after officials say she posted an offensive statement about President Barack Obama on her personal Facebook page.

WSOC reported that Sharon Aceta, who teaches eighth-grade math at Rawlinson Road Middle School in Rock Hill, apologized after making the post on her personal Facebook page.

Her post read: “Congrats Obama. As one of my students sang down the hallway, ‘We get to keep our food stamps’ …which I pay for because they can’t budget their money… and really, neither can you.”

NC TEACHER SCREAMS AT STUDENT: IT’S CRIMINAL TO CRITICIZE OBAMA

H/T Breitbart

And the indoctrination of our youth in public schools continues.  The teacher in this video is not an educator, but a paid propagandist for Barack Obama.  She yells at and bullies the student for asking a question of whether Obama bullied a female student when he was in high school, which Obama wrote about in his book, "Dreams of My Father".  This was during a "discussion" of Mitt Romney allegedly bullying a student when he was in high school.  The teacher is obviously not interested in an honest debate, as she begins screaming at the student and cutting him off as he tries to rebut.  She obviously got her debating skills from watching Jerry Springer, or one of the other trash talk shows.

At one point she tells the student that "as a teacher, I am not supposed to allow you to disrespect the President of the United States", which "rule" I am sure she adhered to when George Bush was President. When the student says "when Bush was President, everybody talked shit about him", she states, "Because he was shitty"!

She also goes on to tell the student that "people were arrested for saying derogatory things about Bush". WHAT!?  She cites no evidence, but just spews out her propaganda as fact.

Unfortunately, this type of facist behavior in our public school system happens far too often.  This woman should not be teaching children, or anybody for that matter.  She has neither the temperament, nor the intellectual capacity to be an educator.  Her style is bullying and intimidation of her students, while her "class" is agenda-driven and is nothing but liberal propaganda and lies.




Teacher yells at student because of a question he asked about Obama!

by BEN SHAPIRO

A YouTube video uploaded on Monday afternoon apparently shows a schoolteacher from the Rowan-Salisbury school district in North Carolina informing a student that failing to be respectful of President Obama is a criminal offense. Breitbart News has uncovered that the student is a high school junior, and that the teacher is apparently one Tanya Dixon-Neely.

Obama Says Trips To Battleground States Not 'Campaign Stops", Charges Taxpayers

Posted by Brian

Obama Giving Speech To Univ. Of Iowa students. Does this look like "official business" or a campaign speech?

RNC chief accuses Obama of campaigning on taxpayer's dime 

By Amie Parnes - 04/25/12 05:35 PM ET

The Republican National Committee is asking the Government Accountability Office to examine President Obama's "misuse" of government funds to benefit his reelection campaign.  

In an official complaint filed with the GAO, a watchdog agency, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus accuses Obama of "passing off campaign travel as official events," using taxpayer money to fund his reelection efforts.

"Given the recent excesses, waste and abuse uncovered in the General Services Administration, the GAO should be particularly sensitive to misuse of taxpayer dollars," Preibus wrote in a letter to Comptroller General Gene L. Dodaro.  

Priebus said "the most recent example" of abuse took place this week as Obama traveled to North Carolina, Colorado and Iowa, three battleground states to promote student loan legislation. The RNC chairman points out that Obama delivered speeches to "cheering crowds of college students" which resembled campaign events.

Obama Injects Politics As He Picks NCAA Brackets

Posted by Brian
Nothing that this President does is without political calculation. First off, I'd like to commend the POTUS on his ability to study so thoroughly the March Madness basketball brackets. While the economy continues to be anemic, the American people struggle to make mortgages, or to be able to afford gas for their vehicles, and put food on the table, Obama has learned how to multi-task and fit March Madness into his schedule. Bravo Mr. President!
Equally impressive is that, like past presidents, he has added another annual tradition for the occupant of the Oval Office. Truman began the Thanksgiving tradition of pardoning a turkey. Rutherford B. Hayes began the Easter Egg Roll in 1878. Obama has added annual Hawaii vacations and March Madness picks to the traditions calendar.
His choice of UNC to win it all is, in my opinion, a not-very-well concealed attempt to pander to North Carolinians, who not coincidentally, will be hosting the Democrat Convention this year.  He doesn't want the image of pissed off N. Carolinians aired during this Democrat's signature event.  His approval ratings in the Tar Heel state remain low, with 51% disapproving of his handling of the economy. Snubbing the state in his picks wouldn't have looked good, and UNC is a natural pick.  He can get away with not picking Duke after Coach K. said that "the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets" back in 2009.
This man-child doesn't roll out of bed without checking poll numbers.  You can bet his NCAA picks were just as politicized as every other move he makes.

Obama picks North Carolina to win NCAA championship

President Barack Obama is relying on North Carolina to take home the trophy for the best team in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

After two consecutive years of choosing the wrong team, Obama correctly chose the Tar Heels back in 2009 when the team went on to win the championship game against Michigan State, winning 89-72.

NC Preschooler Told Home Lunch Not Healthy, Eats 3 Chicken Nuggets

Posted by Brian
How much freedom are we willing to voluntarily cede to the State? How much control are we willing to let the State have over our children? We already know that they are poisoning their minds with state-sponsored propaganda, masquerading as education. Now it seems that they have decided that they know better than parents what our children should eat, even going to the extreme of having some sort of food nazi inspecting home lunches to make sure that they are "nutritious" - at least as the government has determined. This would all be part of Marie Antoinette's, I mean Michelle Obama's, healthy lunches campaign. You know, they one where they put salad bars in all the schools? The one where they expect 5 year olds to choke down their carrots, broccoli, and lettuce. Really? What friggin' fantasy land are these people living in? What's going to happen is what happened with the girl in the story below: they're going to get the "healthy" food put on their tray, eat the chicken nuggets or the pizza slice, and throw the rest of it into the trash. The reason given is that that there are more children who are obese.  That is only part of the problem.  Children aren't allowed to play anymore.  You don't see dodgeball and kickball during recess anymore. We've sissified recess. Kids aren't burning calories. But don't expect to see schools allow kids to play a game of "smear the queer" anytime in the future. No, we have boys out playing hopscotch.
This story is very instructive of the reasons why public school (which is one of those great ideas from the  Communist Manifesto) is such a slippery slope. Because it is government funded, they get to make the rules (all government programs have strings attached). They get to determine the curriculum. They get to determine what your children eat. That is, unless you organize with other parents in your community to fight back.  Go to school board meetings en masse to make your voices heard. Get local media involved.  Distribute petitions.
We are losing more and more liberty everyday.  The question is: how much more are you willing to lose before you start fighting back?

NC Nanny State: Preschooler’s lunch not “nutritious” enough

RAEFORD — A preschooler at West Hoke Elementary School ate three chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because a state employee told her the lunch her mother packed was not nutritious.  
The girl’s turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the interpretation of the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes in her More at Four classroom that day.  
The Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department of Health and Human Services requires all lunches served in pre-kindergarten programs — including in-home day care centers — to meet USDA guidelines. That means lunches must consist of one serving of meat, one serving of milk, one serving of grain, and two servings of fruit or vegetables, even if the lunches are brought from home. 
When home-packed lunches do not include all of the required items, child care providers must supplement them with the missing ones.  
The girl’s mother — who said she wishes to remain anonymous to protect her daughter from retaliation — said she received a note from the school stating that students who did not bring a “healthy lunch” would be offered the missing portions, which could result in a fee from the cafeteria, in her case $ 1.25. 
 “I don’t feel that I should pay for a cafeteria lunch when I provide lunch for her from home,” the mother wrote in a complaint to her state representative, Republican G.L. Pridgen of Robeson County.
