I've Decided to Become an Ultra-Conservative

I have decided to become an ultra-conservative.  I am going to start my own ultra-conservative movement.  It is going to be so-o-o-o-o-o conservative I am going to name it the GREEN Tea Party.  One of the first proposals I am going to submit to lawmakers will outline the steps one must follow to obtain a prescription for those medications that treat and improve Erectile Dysfunction. 

I am going to ask that these requirements be mandatory and rigorously enforced.  You see, I just don't like my tax money going to pay for the outrageous antics/sex life of all those promiscuous male sluts out there.  After all, many of our conservative Tea Party have set the bar high enough to say that sex is for procreation only.

To that end, here is what I will be submitting:

1.  Males asking for a prescription for the treatment of the nefarious condition known as ED will have to present a signed, notarized statement from their urologist attesting to the fact that they do suffer from ED.   A signed, notarized statement from the wife  saying she is aware of the condition and it is interfering with her right to bear a child will be kept on file in the urologist's office and the pharmacy.  A notarized copy of a marriage license and two forms of government issued, picture IDs for both husband and wife will be kept at the urologist's office,  the OB/GYN's office and the pharmacy at all times, and made available for DEA inspection on demand.

2.  In order for the urologist to ascertain the existence of ED, and to be consistent to laws re: women's health care presently in force in several states and impending in others, the patient is required to undergo a trans-penile cystoscopy as well as a trans-rectal ultrasound of the prostate to make sure there is no underlying cause for the ED. These will be performed without anesthesia or conscious sedation as a means of ascertaining that the man really needs/wants the prescription.  If the man feels these procedures are too invasive, he can just relax and close his eyes while they are being performed.

3.  In agreement with present Arizona law, and pending legislation in other states, if the above tests, along with a complete physical examination, reveal that sexual activity and parenthood would result in a health risk for the man, the urologist is under no obligation to inform his patient of the possible consequences.  The urologist may inform the wife, who will have the sole responsibility to inform her husband.  This is in order not to worry the husband's pretty little head about these things.

4.  The patient will  need to present a handwritten, notarized statement from the wife, along with a certificate from her OB/GYN, that she is within the child-bearing years. As part of the wife's documentation there must be proof there is no physical reason she cannot have a child, such a primary infertility; secondary infertility due to past surgical procedures; or premature menopause.  We don't consider her health risks, as they are of no concern.

5.  Each time the patient needs a refill on his medication he will have to present documentation that the medical condition is ongoing and his wife has not conceived in the previous month.  His wife will have to present herself also to the pharmacy, so that the pharmacist can ascertain visually that she is not pregnant.

6.  All prescriptions for ED will become null and void in any one of the following events.

   

     A.  Any of the above required documentation is found to be fraudulent.

     B.  The wife becomes pregnant.

     C.  Either partner decides to remain celibate so as not to risk pregnancy.

     D.  Either partner becomes physically or mentally unable to achieve pregnancy.

     E.  The man is found in a compromising situation with another woman.

     F.  There is a divorce or legal separation.  I don't want to pay for some old  wannabe stud 

           running around trying to prove he still has what it takes.

   

Of course, since it is not the taxpayer's job to feed, clothe, house, or educate, children other than their own, insurance companies and businesses may choose not to provide coverage for treatment of ED.  No Government funding may be used to treat ED.

And that is Miss PittyPat's truth (rant) for the day.

On This Election, Hate Mail, and Separation of Church and State

This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. FDR in his first Inauguration Address, March 4, 1933 here

I get email all the time which has no purpose except to try and turn me against the present administration. The people who make these things up try to use fear to accomplish this. They say that the President is not a Christian, or that he is a Socialist, and now that we need to pray so we can elect a Christian President and legislators and return to our Christian roots. This one came from my brother. Here’s a quote: “This is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced, and from the looks of the polls, the Christians aren't voting Christian values.”

This is my answer:

Dear Brother, our laws are not based on the Bible, they are based in English common law and the Hammurabi Code. The Declaration of Independence clearly states that one of the reasons for the rebellion against the King was “For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule in these colonies: here

In the Declaration of Independence there is no mention of the God of Christianity, only the Creator, Divine Providence, and the Supreme Being. here Neither is the God of Christianity mentioned in the Constitution. We have freedom of religion for very good reasons. The men who wrote these awesome documents grew remembering a time when not belonging to the right church meant you could not hold office, own property, or live free and without persecution. They wanted no part of establishing a theocracy, or supporting any religious body.

Many of our Founding Fathers did not consider themselves Christians; they considered themselves Deists. In the United States, Enlightenment philosophy (which itself was heavily inspired by deist ideals) played a major role in creating the principle of religious freedom, expressed in Thomas Jefferson's letters, and the principle of religious freedom expressed in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.   American Founding Fathers, or Framers of the Constitution, who were especially noted for being influenced by such philosophy include Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin. Their political speeches show distinct deistic influence.

Other notable Founding Fathers may have been more directly deist. These include James Madison, possibly Alexander Hamilton, Ethan Allen and Thomas Paine (who published The Age of Reason, a treatise that helped to popularize deism throughout the USA and Europe). here

Thomas Jefferson cut all mention of miracles out of his Bible. While he was President he rarely attended church and he was never a communicant of any church. He stated many times in his letters and other papers that he believed in Nature’s God. 

James Madison wrote, in 1785, A Memorial and Remonstrance Against Religious Assessments to the Virginia Legislature in response to a bill that was to be voted on called “A Bill establishing a provision for Teachers of the Christian Religion” because the bill would have made it mandatory for all citizens of Virginia pay for the upkeep of those teachers. I quote, “Who does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in exclusion of all other Religions, may establish with the same ease any particular sect of Christians, in exclusion of all other Sects? That the same authority which can force a citizen to contribute three pence only of his property for the support of any one establishment, may force him to conform to any other establishment in all cases whatsoever? here

We are not just a Christian nation; we are a nation of people of every religious belief found on this Earth. In praying for a 'nation based on Christianity' you are asking for a return of the Spanish Inquisition, Hitler's persecution of the Jews, the Conquistadors burning of all Aztec, Mayan, and Incan writings and the murder of these people when they resisted becoming Catholics. If you want only Christian's in office you are no better than they were, or than the Islamic radicals who don't allow any religion in their country other than Islam, and then only THEIR particular branch of Islam. 

This election is NOT about religion in any way. NOT ONE person is in danger of losing his right to worship as he pleases. It is about getting a black man with a funny name out of the oval office. If you don't think so, ask yourself which white President has been asked to produce his birth Certificate, has done so TWICE, and it still wasn't good enough, even though he was born in Hawaii to a citizen of the US.

I am praying for someone who is as honest as a President can be; who loves the United States and all its citizens; who wants to represent all citizens, not just the rich. I am praying for a President who truly believes that ALL Americans should have a dry, clean, safe place to live; believes that NO American citizen goes to bed hungry; that NO American child is denied an education; believes that ALL Americans, each and every one of them, should receive the best medical care available; that EVERY American is entitled to make a living wage, not a subsistence wage; and who believes that EVERY American should pay taxes according to his ability, even if that means the rich have endure a 3% tax increase on anything more than $1 MILLION. If he meets those criteria, that's enough. It doesn't matter if he is Mormon, Catholic, Jewish, or Buddhist, or even Islamic.

Remember, Jesus said to give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God that which is God's. Sounds like separation of Church and State to me.

I am praying that God will change the mindset I see in the United States and elsewhere. I am praying for peace in this world. I am praying that people will stop the violence against their fellow man. I am praying for people who respect their fellow man, regardless of his religious preference, his sexual orientation, or the color of his skin. I want to believe this mindset change is what the Mayan calendar predicts for December 2012.

Machiavelli wrote The Prince in 1513 as a treatise on government to Lorenzo de Medici. In it he states that the easiest way to take over the government of a country and take its wealth is to give the citizens something to fear, then promise to prevent it from happening. He states the danger you present to the people does not have to be real, just believable. He says you should throw in a war if possible. If you do these things the citizens will flock to your support, will willingly give you their money, and will give up their rights to freedom.

If you think this doesn't hold true after 600 years, think again. Because we were gullible enough to believe a President, we got involved in two illegal wars in the Middle East. The fear? Weapons of mass destruction, which didn't exist. What else did we do? We allowed that same President to spent untold trillions on these wars. We allowed him to take away almost all our rights under The Bill of Rights.

Eisenhower sent the first "Advisers" to Viet Nam in 1950. The richest Americans were being taxed at 91% of all income over $400K. The corporate tax rate was 47%, with a 30% penalty tax on excess profits. We were afraid of 'the Reds'' BTW, This was one of the booming times in our history, with inflation at 1.3% on average and unemployment at less than 3%.

Under Reagan we were afraid of the Communists, to the point we turned out backs while opium, heroin and cocaine were being exchanged for weapons in Central America. We trained Nicaraguan rebels in warfare techniques, which they took home and used against anyone who did not join the revolution. These rebels were Communists and have regained control of Nicaragua in recent elections

Under Bush I, we were afraid of Iran, and under Bush II as it was a previously stated. These wars, in my opinion were fought to gain factor with the Saudi government so that they would allow US Military bases in Saudi Arabia. Nineteen of the terrorists who attacked us in 2000 were Saudi Arabians.

Pray for the United States, it needs it. But it is not this President whom we need to fear. We need to be afraid of our willingness to give up our rights under the Constitution. We need to be afraid of the people who want to take these freedoms away from us. We need to be afraid of lawmakers who only care about corporations and the wealthiest people in our country.

I am a Christian. I was raised into a family of Christians who would not allow anything to interfere in attending church except a severe illness or death. Not even vacation. We had devotions every morning at 6:45. I say the Apostles Creed and the Catholic Declaration of Faith, The Nicene Creed, without qualms.

I also believe in the First Amendment where it says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

And that is Miss Pitty Pat's rant for today!

Meet my Stalker - Update

Stephen P. Signorelli, my cyber stalker and a self-professed pedophile (here) just couldn't restrain himself.  He just could not stay away from the underage girls in La Ceiba. 

Recently two independent sources contacted me with information that Mr. Signorelli has been fired from his job as a teacher at St. Teresa's Bilingual Bilingual School, a prestigious private school in La Ceiba, Honduras..  It would appear that he picked the wrong little girl to become interested in, because she told her mother about the manifestations of that interest.  The mother filed a complaint with school officials, accusing him of inappropriate emails, Facebook comments and behavior toward her minor child.

How stupid can he be to molest a student he was teaching.  For that matter, how stupid can can he be to molest a student at the school in which he was working?  Most animals do not defecate in the areas where they eat.

Mr. Signorelli has an annoying habit of projecting what is going on his life onto others, which makes me wonder if he was the one undergoing extensive questioning by the Honduran authorities (here).  Is this a  self-description (here)?  Could he be the one who is packing up his things because he was given 30 days to leave the country (here)?  Or, maybe it was Mr. Signorelli's house that was vandalized (here).  Who knows?  I certainly don't.

I do know that the Honduran grapevine is so efficient that if he is not being deported he is most likely  unemployable in Honduras in the private system or by a reputable NGO.  I wonder if the same will hold true in the United States, if he is being deported?  If he is being deported, then the American Embassy is aware of the situation.  In view of the recent scandals at  Penn State and other schools, surely they will not allow him to leave Honduras without somehow flagging him for law enforcement.  Given his history, they might even consider flagging him for Interpol.
