Contradictions of the current US Administration

It is all over the new that the Federal Government filed suit against the State of Arizona. They state that the controversial Arizona Law is unconstitutional. They also state that they are protecting the rights of the illegal immigrants.

At the same time, the same government dropped the charges against one of the members of the Black Panther group. The charges against him were for intimidating voters on Election Day. This man, Shabazz, in particular was seen in a video agitating the black community by saying something like:

“I HATE CRACKERS” “IF YOU WANT FREEDOM YOU HAVE TO KILL WHITE PEOPLE AND THEIR BABIES”

I do not think that is what Dr. Martin Luther King had in mind.

I have a question: WHY the federal government wants to shut down the State of Arizona for allegedly trying to protect its citizens from the drug cartel and does NOTHING to stop this delinquent from creating chaos among the Citizens?


I don’t understand why people are so damned blind with this administration!

OTRO QUE SE DISPONE A MORIR

OTRO QUE SE DISPONE A MORIR
Carlos Alberto Montaner

Juan Juan Almeida acaba de declararse en huelga de hambre en Cuba hasta que Raúl Castro le permita dejar la Isla por unas semanas para visitar al médico en Bélgica y abrazar a su familia, hoy radicada en el exilio. El padre de Juan Juan era el general Juan Almeida, uno de los pocos negros que acompañó a Fidel Castro en todas sus aventuras revolucionarias. Murió el año pasado y lo enterraron con grandes honores.

Juan Juan, el hijo, está muy enfermo. Sufre un extraño padecimiento de los huesos y las articulaciones que en Cuba no saben cómo atenderle. Los belgas, en cambio, han desarrollado un tratamiento eficaz. Raúl Castro, que conoce a Juan Juan desde que éste era un niño, no quiere dejarlo marchar al extranjero a intentar curarse. Desea verlo morir en la Isla. ¿Por qué? No se sabe exactamente, pero la explicación confidencial que dio un ex embajador cubano es que se trata del criminal capricho de una mujer que odia a Juan Juan. Una mujer por la que Raúl Castro siente una especial predilección.

Uno de los más graves problemas de ese país es que los hermanos Castro son los dueños de la vida y la muerte de todos los cubanos. Fidel decidió que la Dra. Hilda Molina, una eminente neurocirujana, no viajara a Argentina a reunirse con su hijo y su nieto porque su cerebro le pertenecía a la revolución, y allí la tuvo más de una década secuestrada hasta que se cansó y se la regaló al matrimonio de Cristina y Néstor Kirchner.

Raúl actúa de la misma forma. Encarcela, excarcela, deja morir o salva a quien le viene en gana. Allí no hay más ley que su voluntad. No se trata de que Juan Juan Almeida es el hijo de un “héroe” y por eso no puede viajar al extranjero. En Florida viven dos hijas de Fidel. En realidad, no hay un líder revolucionario que no tenga familiares cercanos en el extranjero. Es otra cosa. Así son los esclavistas.

"de donde hay un rio al "carneybijol"

Erase una vez, mejor dicho, tantas veces que ni veas, un trovador “hijoeputa” se mostró apático al sufrimiento de su propia aldea, de tan “hijoeputa” que fue, es y parece que será, le robaron un unicornio azul pa’ jamárselo, mariposas brujas se le aparecen en sus pesadillas, cuando no sueña con serpientes “verde-olivos”, o un enanito sangrón le patea el culo por cobarde oportunista, ya no “merece amor”, su ángel no llega a los finales por desafina’o, se queda como esperando abril, para evadir impuestos… ¡viva el harapo señor! (dice, canta) ¡pero que viva lejos! (piensa, cree)… la bella poesía hace muecas al nacer de sus sesos, y se caga de miedo y pena al salir por su boca ..Su óleo de mujer con sombrero es hoy es un garabato de vieja con pamela sucia, ya no sé ni que habla ni a donde va… ¡oh! quien fuera el batiscafo de su abismo, ese mismo, donde se suicida su conciencia…yo, yo me encojono de manera inocua pero firme, al verlo como si nada, con sus loas a las serpientes “verde-olivos” atragantadas con palomas de todos los colores (sobre todo de blanco, que no es un color pero atraganta igual)…cantando en el “carneybijol” (Carnegie Hall).

Ser libres

Hoy 1ro de junio se cumple un año de la blogacción cubana donde participamos numerosas personas en el 2009, bloggers en su mayoría. Hace 12 meses éste era el texto principal de la blogacción:


Pedimos a todas las personas e instituciones defensoras de los derechos civiles en el mundo que contribuyan a la movilización, y llamamos al gobierno cubano a:

- Liberar a los presos políticos en Cuba
- Levantar las prohibiciones que impiden a los cubanos entrar y salir de su país
- Levantar las prohibiciones de acceso a Internet para los cubanos

...que aún puede quedarse como exigencia sin cambiarle ni una coma.

Como Marga y los demás retomamos el motto SER LIBRES

Thank you American Soldier for risking your life so I can live mine in freedom! GOD BLESS OUR SOLDIERS!

I WANT ALL WARS TO END FOR OUR SAKE! BUT I DO CELEBRATE OUR SOLDIERS AND I AM FOREVER INDEBTED TO THEM! GOD BLESS OUR SOLDIERS!

Remembering Memorial Day
by Mike Krumboltz
May 28, 2010

For many, Memorial Day brings to mind images of parades and picnics, of barbecues and baseball games. What's sometimes forgotten are the reasons for the holiday: The sacrifices made by American soldiers in times of conflict.

As the United States' death toll passes 1,000 in Afghanistan, Memorial Day takes on an especially poignant meaning this year. Here's a brief look at how the holiday got its start, and how people are searching for ways to honor the brave men and women who have lost their lives.

The first holiday
Originally, the holiday was known as "Decoration Day." It was started by a Civil War general named Gen. John Logan, who was the Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. General Logan sought a way to help the country come back together after the horrors and divide of the Civil War.

The holiday was first observed on May 30, 1868, and Gen. Logan chose that date for two very important reasons: First, the day did not mark the anniversary of a Civil War battle, and second "flowers would likely be in bloom all over the United States." Indeed, many took flowers to Arlington National Cemetery, an activity that still occurs every year.

More on Gen. John Logan
General John A. Logan has a tremendous legacy that goes well beyond his efforts to honor fallen soldiers. According to a museum dedicated to his memory, Gen. Logan led an inspired life and enjoyed a tremendous career. At different points, he was a United States congressman, a senator, and a candidate for the vice presidency. He and his running mate, James G. Blane, lost their bid, but "Logan’s popularity with veterans contributed to the narrowness of the defeat."

An official holiday
This may come as a bit of a surprise, but Memorial Day, despite having been around for over 100 years in one form or another, didn't become an official federal holiday until 1971, when Congress passed the National Holiday Act. This created a three-day weekend at the end of May. Prior to this, different states observed the holiday on different days.

The effect on Web search
Web lookups on "memorial day" and "celebrate memorial day" are both up over 500% during the past seven days. Additionally, queries on "memorial day quotes" and "memorial day history" are soaring, as are searches for "memorial day parades" and "memorial day flowers."

Also worth noting — the "national moment of remembrance." This moment takes place at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day and lasts one minute. According to Remember.gov, "the Moment does not replace traditional Memorial Day events; rather it is an act of national unity in which all Americans, alone or with family and friends, honor those who died for our freedom. It will help to reclaim Memorial Day as the sacred and noble holiday it was meant to be. In this shared remembrance, we connect as Americans."

The Huffington Post has a nice collection of 15 quotes for Memorial Day. You can view the list here

ASAFA POWELL AND TEAM NUTRILITE

Asafa Powell has played an important role in raising brand awareness for NUTRILITE, while serving as a world-class testimonial of our products and their benefits. He has been an advocate for our company and shares our common goal to help all customers achieve optimal health. Asafa was the cornerstone for Team Nutrilite and his presence and support much appreciated.

However, while Asafa has been a positive and engaging supporter of the NUTRILITE brand, his endorsement does not currently fit our sponsorship strategic direction going forward.

To that end, Amway Global / NUTRILITE has not renewed its endorsement with Asafa Powell. Our focus for now will be to invest in our existing Track & Field sponsorships, our relationships with Silver Medal winner Jenn Stuczynski and Gold and Bronze Medal winning Sanya Richards and continued focus on our endorsement with soccer star Ronaldinho and sponsorship of A.C. Milan.

We wish Asafa all the best in his quest to regain his title as "World's Fastest Man."
