Government Schools for Thee, But Not For Me
Posted by Lew Rockwell at January 5, 2009 11:13 AM

*** begin quote ***

Obama, a fanatical supporter of urban public schools like DC’s, is sending his own girls to the power elite’s Sidwell Friends School, where – you will be relieved to know – there are no Quaker (that is, Christian) teachings on war and peace. It’s Quaker in the same sense as the mass murderer Richard Nixon. (Thanks to Craig)

Double standard!

Abortion: The Unspoken Jihad
By Matt Spivey

*** begin quote ***

In Arabic, the word “jihad” means “inner struggle,” and for those involved in one particular battle, there is no simple answer and varying perspectives cause, in many cases, violent reactions and repercussions. That word has come to signify the murder of innocence and the demolition of security in a time of worldwide uncertainty. The death toll keeps rising as years keep passing, and fighting in this war guarantees earning the label of “radical,” “extremist,” or “fanatic.” Yet those who do keep fighting are actually trying to save lives. With the 36th year of Roe v. Wade passing today, the war rages on.   

*** and ***

Are conservatives really extremists or fanatics by believing all children should be respected in life and raised in love? Maybe some like Sarah Palin are genuine leaders who will guide not only those closest to them, but all Americans, to do what is right, even when it is difficult. January 22 is a dark day for those who believe in God’s gift of life, but maybe the jihad against the unborn can be prevented if facts are made clear, derogatory words are attributed to rightful perpetrators, and we all take more personal responsibility. I don’t think that’s too extreme.

*** end quote ***

Glad you ignored your then Mother-In-Law’s advice. Even though as a teenager, we’d all like to strangle him. ROFL. I’m sure he’ll make some girl very happy.]

[JR: It's hard to imagine the damage we have done to ourselves by killing all these future potentialities. Perhaps the person who was to cure cancer was killed. Invent something important like the 'pocket fisherman"? Perhaps the person who was to bring peace to the Middle East? Paint the next Mona Lisa? Perhaps the person who was to discover who knows what? A tragic waste. All for convenience for sex "without consequences", but there always are. A sad anniversary! A non-birthday. Dona Nobis Pacem!]

Manhattan College Honors John V. Magliano ’66, Chairman Of Syska Hennessy Group, Inc., At Annual De La Salle Medal Dinner

De La Salle Medal Dinner raises more than $1 million for Manhattan College.

*** begin quote ***

RIVERDALE, N.Y. – Manhattan College presented John Magliano ’66, chairman of Syska Hennesssy Group, Inc., with the De La Salle Medal at the College’s annual fundraising dinner on Wednesday, Jan. 21, at The Waldorf-Astoria in New York City.

The College raised more than $1 million. Proceeds from the $750-per-plate fundraiser are applied to academic and cocurricular programs, scholarships assistance and library resources.

Magliano, a licensed professional engineer in 12 states, joined Syska Hennessy Group, one of the country’s leading consulting, engineering, technology and construction firms, in 1970, after graduated from the College with a degree in electrical engineering and served a four-year tour of duty in the U.S. Air Force.

“The Christian Brothers and my professors taught me not only the academic disciplines for my career, but also the foundation for integrity and growth,” said Magliano upon accepting the De La Salle Medal. “When (Manhattan College President) Brother Thomas Scanlan asked me to be tonight’s honoree, I realized this would be a wonderful opportunity to showcase the accomplishments of Manhattan’s engineers.”

Richard Anderson, president of the New York Building Congress, Tom Farrell ’83, senior managing director of Tishman Speyer, and Richard Tomasetti ’63, founding principal of Thornton Tomasetti, Inc., served as dinner co-chairmen.
