NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Posted on January 27, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

We offer observations on the human condition from a 21 year old mind trapped in an 81 year old body.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Sign: “Fertility Pharmacist On Duty.” I assume that means he impregnates on demand.

It is doubtful if Newt Gingrich ever uttered a sentence without the expression, “I have experience in changing America.” The problem is –in which ways?

Some have a “dainty appearance.” Me, I’m a slob.

Some wonder, “why” and some wonder, “why not.”

If at first you don’t succeed, chances are you never will.

We see what we need to see.

Few in the modern corporation love it.

Fifteen degrees and she wears a mini-skirt. I assume she has either a warm body or heart.

I am not a quantifier of life.

Young children have special relations to their dolls.

I have never worn a tee shirt with the name of a college. I just graduate from them.

I rarely scratch my head in public.

Pope Blasts Gay Marriage

Posted on January 12, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Pope Benedict XVI is a man of peace and carries within his heart much love for humanity. There is also no question issues dealing with gays and lesbians remain controversial and regardless of what he says, some portion of the Catholic community will be offended. There are thousands of gay and lesbian Catholics who are proud of their church and seek to be members of it, but there are also Catholics who do not want them inside the doors of their religion. In his annual State of the World address, the Pope came out swinging against gays and lesbians.

He insisted gay marriage would undermine the concept of family, “threaten human dignity and the future of humankind itself.” From his perspective, marriage between a man and a woman constitute “the fundamental cell of every society.” Reality is that gay and lesbian marriages are here to stay. Reality is such marriages are accepted by a majority of young Catholics in most countries of the world. At some point, this decent man has to accept reality.

Gay KKK Members Bother Catholics

Posted on January 9, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

We live in an era in which those whose hearts are filled with hate and anger feel perfectly OK blasting opponents with wild charges of hate and anger. Over seventy years ago, the KKK was fairly strong in many parts of America and they not only hated black skinned people, but had enough hate for Catholics, Jews, and immigrants. A gay parade was planned in Chicago, and its route would pass by a Catholic church while members were at prayer. Chicago Cardinal Francis George condemned the parade as similar in tone to those old time KKK anti-Catholic rallies.

Exactly how a group of people walking in the street interrupt those at prayer inside a building somehow escapes my understanding of reality. The good Cardinal apologized for hurting the feelings of anyone.

If you want to make Fox News this evening , just attack someone as a Nazi, Socialist, Communist, devil-worshipper, or whatever.

P.S. Sorry Cardinal, but some of those gay folk marching in the street are Catholics!

Santa Claus Enters Republican Primary!

Posted on December 31, 2011 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Mr. Kris Kringle registered in the state of Minnesota as a Republican and immediately threw his snow ball into the Republican race to secure the nomination for president. Kris was accompanied by his wife, Kate Kringle who told the media although Michele Bachmann may have 24 foster children, she has 45 elf children and all are gainfully working so Newt Gingrich can not accuse them of being lazy young people. Unofficial reports indicate a Short People PAC has been formed to place ads in the media urging short folk to vote for Santa.

Santa made clear that he was a 1000% American boy, born in the cold state of Maine and now residing in an igloo in Minnesota. He promised, if elected, to create over 5,000,000 jobs since there is tremendous need for toys to sell to children and adults. Kris also wanted conservatives to know he will conserve all existing holidays and will celebrate Christmas in the White House. However, he also assured Muslims, Jews, atheists and all other religions that distribution of toys will continue for children of all backgrounds.

Santa promised to end pollution by ending use of cars and replacing them with sleds. He also made clear that he opposes abortion of deer or bear babies although it is OK to shoot their parents. Kris ensured one and all that Jesus has a place in his heart and he will continue to honor the Christ child as the son of God.

As far as foreign policy goes, Santa made clear he had traveled throughout the world, unlike other Republican candidates and knew every language on this planet. So, if you finally want an intelligent person in the White House, vote for the man who will make certain the White House is white covered.

PERFECT IOWA REPUBLICAN PITCH

Posted on December 29, 2011 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Ladies and gentlemen, and, fellow Christians if I may without having agents of the Federal government arrest me for publicly praising the words and deeds of our Savior, Jesus Christ, today we face a struggle between the forces of the Devil and the forces of Christianity. I want everyone to know that not only was I baptized as a Catholic, but I also was baptized as a Baptist and a Lutheran and a born again Christian. Unlike our Muslim president, I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe that life begins from the moment a male injects a female with his fluid, even if it is in the condom. In fact, we need a Constitutional amendment that declares anything in a condom is life itself.

I oppose abortion even if my wife, my sister, my daughter was raped by one of those evil Muslims. I believe we must fire a few million government workers in order to take the first step in creating jobs. We must end all taxes on those who earn over a million dollars a year in order to assist job creators to create more jobs. I believe we must end taxes on those who work and allow those who work to keep all they earn from the work they do. Ending taxation is the first step on the road to prosperity and jobs.

Oh, I know some will wonder how we can pay for police or firemen. Simple, if you use their services then you pay for their services. If you want your child educated, don’t pay school taxes, educate the child and end secular tyranny from preventing our children to learn about Jesus Christ. Once job creators are creating new jobs in oil then we can simply charge a slight fee for extracting oil from federal lands and that will take care of funding the federal government.

Before I conclude, let me assure my Jewish friends, that while we are a Christian nation, we will protect Israel. You should have the right to educate Jewish children in Jewish schools. And, as for those who are Mormon, my question is: why are you?

So, give a prayer for Jesus, give a prayer urging our armed forces to kill a Muslim for Christ and let’s get America great again!

Boko Haram Human Murderers

Posted on December 26, 2011 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

One might think a group named Boko Haram referred to something that was animal in nature rather than a group of people who adhered to human feelings and beliefs. It is a Muslim radical sect which intends to kill the innocent in order to impose its beliefs on the innocent. As thousands celebrated Christmas mass in Nigerian churches, Boko Haram unleashed terror attacks. In one church bombs killed at least 25 people at prayer while in another church in Jos, dozens were injured by bombs.

A spokesperson for Boko Haram proudly took responsibility for the murders. It is always so pleasant to listen to those who believe in God announcing they are killing in the name of God. The vast majority of Muslims do not adhere to this interpretation of their religion, but those who do would gladly go to someplace up on high in order to prove that religion is all about murdering the innocent.

We should note that Jesus Christ is also an important figure in the Muslim religion, but I assume Boko Haram followers do not know that fact about their religion.

Genocide Wars Rage In Turkey And France

Posted on December 26, 2011 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Erdogan is not going to end the genocide war against France until: (a) France admits it committed genocide during its colonial rule in Algeria, (b) France admits there was no genocide against Armenians in Turkey in 1915, or (c) we all agree that genocide never took place anywhere in the world and millions of humans were killed by Martian invaders. According to Erdogan, “what the French did in Algeria during its colonization was genocide.” He claimed that 15% of Algerians were massacred between 1945-1962. Erdogan also pointed out that President Sarkozy’s father served in the French Legion during this time period and thus was part of the genocide.

There are two issues emanating from his statement. One argues there was genocide in Algeria and the other argues there was no genocide in Turkey against Armenians. I get confused. What does genocide in Algeria have to do with genocide in Turkey? Is Mr. Erdogan attempting to prove that if you commit genocide it means you are not allowed to discuss our genocide? When will Turkey admit it killed over a million Armenians and in order to demonstrate moral and ethical health as a nation? The US Congress apologized to Japanese Americans for their internment. Germany has apologized for the Holocaust. Just admit the truth and everyone who engaged in genocide can finally cleanse their souls.

Mama Grizzly Bear Hibernating!

Posted on December 23, 2011 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Have you ever wondered what has happened to the mom from Alaska who appeared in our lives with words of wisdom and promises of salvation? Months have passed without any outburst from the frozen tundra of Alaska. We are left with a group of born-again Bible quoting God loving candidates who in between blasting one another as incompetent insist God is on their side. How can that be? Mama Sarah Palin speaks to God and she knows that God is a Protestant. So, how can God be a Catholic which Newt claims is the case?

Sarah has only updated her Facebook three times the past month. She no longer goes around speaking for a few hundred thousand dollars. Her attempts to sell one more version of the life and times of the Palin family are greeted with yawns by the media. Roger Ailes of Fox News still has not forgotten she announced that she would not run for president on a talk show rather than on Fox News. We offer an explanation:

1. She figures to allow the current group of idiots to speak in hope, the Republican party will now recognize after Rick and Herman, she is an intellectual giant.

2. There is trouble at home with hubby?

3. She no longer can listen to the sound of her own voice?

4. Stay tuned, I heard a cash register make a noise and it is a certainty Sarah will soon appear to reach in for a few more bucks.

WWII Lingers On In France

Posted on December 17, 2011 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

For some reason the people of France simply can not let go of what happened in their nation during World War II when they were defeated and occupied by the German army. Life under an occupation produces confusion and ambiguity regarding how individuals conduct relation with the occupiers. After France was liberated from German rule in 1944, Charles de Gualle, head of the provisional government, confiscated the Renault company on grounds it had collaborated with the enemy and its president eventually died in jail.

Grandchildren of Louis Renault are suing the French government on grounds Renault was the only major business leader who was subject to confiscation although they argue others also collaborated. The key word is, “collaborate.” No doubt, most collaborated in one way or another, but there is also a line one should not cross. Historians agree Renault provided Germany motors, vehicles and technology. The issue is whether this was done willingly or under duress. Unfortunately, this question will probably never be completely answered.
