ENDNOTE: Abortion, a conspiracy to kill off blacks?

Posted on March 27, 2010 by | Comments Off

Abortion is Devastating the African American Community, Is Anyone Noticing?
by Deal Hudson
March 1, 2010

*** begin quote ***

According to the Centers for Disease Control, African American women have 40 percent of the nation’s abortions, but make up only 13 percent of the population. That black children are being aborted at such a high rate has not been a subject of discussion among the Democrats in the Congress and the White House, who insist on leaving the door open for abortion funding in the health care bill.

But a recent article in the New York Times suggests that the disproportionate price being paid in the African American community for the pro-abortion advocacy of Planned Parenthood is beginning to be noticed.

According to the piece, Georgia Right to Life changed its tactics last year by having minority outreach coordinator Catherine Davis visit black churches throughout the state, “delivering the message that abortion is the primary tool in a decades-old conspiracy to kill off blacks.”

Pro-life activists have long known that Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, explicitly recommended the “eugenics value” of abortion as a means of suppressing minority populations. But now the story of the nefarious roots of the abortion movement are gaining traction among the African Americans that Davis met with.

*** and ***

The film’s trailer opens with chilling quotes from American eugenicists like Sanger. Her attitude toward the “inferior” black race is startling for a woman born in Corning, New York, to a devout Catholic family of eleven children.

*** end quote ***

[JR: As I get older, I get sadder. “Gun Control”, aka “Victim Disarmament”, was a racist measure to keep the Klan safe from self-defense. “Public Education” is a scam to keep minorities, and the public, stupid while enabling the elite. “Social Security” is a Ponzi scheme to transfer wealth from poor minority men to rich white women. And, “Pro-choice” abortion is “eugenics” that would make the Nazis proud. And, we, as Americans, with supposedly a Judeo-Christian tradition, tolerate it. It the old days at least there was a King to focus the anger. Now days, it’s “the system”. Argh!]

JBLOGGER: “c/o Tidewaters, Jasper Rob” [MC????] will wed “c/o Tidewaters, Jasper Maura” [MC????]

The Bride and Groom
March 26, 2010 in Stupid Future Groom

201003262016.jpg

*** begin quote ***

Groom – Rob

As I mentioned before, both I and the fiance are graduates of Manhattan College. This wedding is going to be infested with ManCol grads. That, and people from Florida.

I used to be a newspaper reporter and now I work in public relations, meaning I’ve never had an actual soul. I enjoy blankly staring off into the distance and delusions of mass grandeur. I first met the fiance in passing during my freshman year of college, but it was our senior year when we first started dating.

Bride – Maura

And finally, our last profile is of the bride, Maura. We were going to profile the ring barer an flower girl, but how interesting can a 10-year-old really be?

Maura is a teacher and a far better wedding planner than I. She has a masters degree and wants to get a doctorate, which I think is just showing off at this point.

She has put up with all of my nonsense up until this point, and for that she deserves an accommodation. I guess when you teach a group of little kids all day, dealing with one full size idiot at home is not that hard.

#-#-#

“c/o Tidewaters, Jasper Maura” [MC????]

“c/o Tidewaters, Jasper Rob” [MC????]

and from the prior blog post “c/o Tidewaters, Jasper Kerry” [MC????]

[JR: Wedding in less than four months -- June - July? OK, readers, let's id these "culprits". :-) No stone is left unturned! Also, no prize for the first correct answer, but it's the Jasper Jottings equivalent of a scavenger hunt.]

MFOUND: The last book I actually read

Posted on March 26, 2010 by | Comments Off

JO307: “J.D. Salinger dies at 91, but has Holden Caulfield died with him?”

Erin Chack

*** begin quote ***

“Catcher in the Rye was probably the last book I actually read,” said Sean Colello, a 21-year-old mathematics major at Manhattan College. “I loved it. Holden was the only literary character I actually could identify with because he wasn’t some big hero, he was just a lost and confused kid like everyone is at that age.”

*** end quote ***

#-#-#

[JR: Hmmm, all those great books at MC. How about identifying with Robinson Crusoe? In today's economy, it's a metaphor. Even us injineers learned about those. But, it may not be OUR MC; there's hope. I'm sure the other MCs have great books too.]

JEMAIL: McEneney, Mike (MC1953) reports … … new lights

Posted on March 26, 2010 by | Comments Off

Dear John,

   I just want to report that while I have not gotten new glasses, I did get a better light thanks to my God Son, Ed’s son Eddie.

   Maybe this will help.

   Mike

McEneney, Mike (MC1953)

[JR: No, this is not a new level of detail of reporting in Jasper Jottings. Mike's been missing the 6's and 8's in his class year reports. So I'm sure we will all now say a silent prayer of thanks for Eddie's timely intervention.]

[JR: I thought this was funny. And, I needed to share a laff. Someone's status recently said: "Life. It goes on." Very true. Very true. So let's go on.]
