The Color Of Crime

Much has been said in the last few days following the Travon Martin case about race and how race relates to crime. I felt it needful to share these statistical charts. These are U.S. Census Bureau statistics from Chicago in 2010, so they are quite recent. The first shows the racial demographics of Chicago. The ones following show assorted crimes and which races are committing them. No further comments are necessary.

Media Misrepresentation Of The Trayvon Martin Case

Amidst all the hype related to the Trayvon Martin case, there is a bit of misrepresentation that needs to be cleared up. The photo of the baby faced African American teen is a four year old photo.

Here are some more accurate representations of the over six foot tall football player who was shot during the course of his assault of Robert Zimmerman, who can be heard screaming for help on the 911 tape shortly before firing the shot that resulted in the death of Martin.

This is being reported as though Zimmerman hunted a baby faced little teenager and shot him in cold blood. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Why Chemical Engineers Don't Write Recipe Books

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

532.35 cm3 gluten

4.9 cm3 NaHCO3

4.9 cm3 refined halite

236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride

177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11

177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11

4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde

Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated
protein

473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao 236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume
meats (sieve size #10)

To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an
overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100 BTU/F-ft2-hr,
add ingredients one, two, and three with constant agitation.

In a second 2-L reactor vessel with a radial flow impeller
operating at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five, six, and
seven until the mixture is homogenous.

To reactor #2, add ingredient eight, followed by three equal
volumes of the homogenous mixture in reactor #1.
Additionally, add ingredient nine and ten slowly, with
constant agitation. Care must be taken at this point in the
reaction to control any temperature rise that may be the
result of an exothermic reaction.

Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the
mixture piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm). Heat in
a 460K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with
Frank & Johnston's first order rate expression (see JACOS,
21, 55), or until golden brown.

Once the reaction is complete, place the sheet on a 25C
heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come to equilibrium.

My take on Ron Paul

If I suddenly have the urge to vote for an islam-appeaser who wants to see Israel wiped off the map, has no problem at all with a nuclear weaponized Iran, and thinks that the United States is an imperial force of evil in the world, I'll just vote for Obama, because at that point, the less-crazy metric points to the guy who DOESN'T think 9/11 was an inside job.
( Just kidding, If it came down to Obama or Paul, I'd vote for Donald Duck as a write in. I would never, ever vote for Obama or Ron Paul)

As I pondered on Ron Paul's foreign policy, I was reminded of this quote by John Stuart Mill. "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse."

The Obama Bus Vs. The Herman Cain Bus



Here is Obama's bus, also known as the Economy Hearse. It was PAID FOR BY YOUR TAX DOLLARS!!!

Despite the American workers needing jobs, and the sad state of the economy, Obama chose to spend our tax dollars on a bus that was MADE IN CANADA.



Below is the Herman Cain Bus. It was PAID FOR BY VOLUNTARY CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS, freely given by those who wish to see him become president.

This Herman Cain Campaign bus was MADE IN AMERICA!

Republicans Want To Take Us Back In Time?





It's funny how Liberals always accuse Conservatives of wanting to take America back to primitive times. What is more primitive than a windmill? I can always get a big laugh out of the hypocrisy coming from the left. If only they would stop to think sometimes.
Oh, yea. If they stopped to think, they wouldn't be Liberals would they?

No Time for Sideshows? Obama Holds First-Ever Transgender Conference







Last Wednesday, Barack Obama offered his long-form Certificate of Live Birth, saying, “We do not have time for this kind of silliness. We’ve got better stuff to do.” He added, “We’re not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers.” Two days later, he gave his idea of a dignified use of presidential time and resources as the Office of Public Engagement (OPE) headed by his closest advisor, Valerie Jarrett, held the first-ever White House conference devoted exclusively to transgender concerns. Among the transgender activists present at the super-secret gathering was the president of an organization that is lobbying the government to pay for sex-change operations, allow open military service and top-secret security clearances for trannies, and develop “transgender-specific needle exchange programs” for those who abuse intravenous drugs. The activists state although this was the first time the federal government invited them to discuss their agenda, it will not be the last; the next steps are already planned. And the Obama administration is already churning out significant regulations catering to cross-dressers – and silencing their critics.

In Public Schools, Easter Eggs are now “Spring Spheres”

I am not a big fan of Easter egg hunts unless you take the time to tell the children what Easter is all about, and why it should be important to us as Christians. However, I am appalled at the way I see Easter eggs, Christmas trees, etc. being removed from every aspect of public life for fear of offending certain segments of society. This article that I found on Floyd Reports really caught my attention.





In a fit of political correctness, a Seattle school now has renamed Easter eggs as “Spring Spheres.” Candy canes sporting the red color of Christ’s blood and the green of the Christian Christmas tress have all but been banned from our schools. As I stood to hear the Palm Sunday sermon in church last week — an account of Our Lord’s Passion and death on the Cross — I grew increasingly angry and hurt. How dare they? How dare they take away our Christmas and Easter holidays?

The world could not fathom the fact that this 75-year-old was allowed to sing Christmas carols in my grade school. Just this week, my daughter called and after two very long phone calls from her in one week, she said at the end, “Mom, I’m afraid.” She and her husband are rearing four boys at home and have another away at the Illinois university I attended.

How dare our Liberal-in-Chief order Georgetown, a putatively Roman Catholic university, to cover its crucifix before he would deign to speak for them? How dare his pastor of 20 years call out from his own pulpit to damn America in the most blasphemous of oaths? How dare Michelle Obama tell a campaign audience she had never been proud of America until Barack was about to be nominated for president?

Just think of how they insulted our veterans, let alone us! Think of our Revolutionary War fighters, American patriots that my English class could not even identify because their public school teachers had never told them about the sacrifices these Yankees made. It is now doubtful those students could tell us anything about our Civil War vets, Korean vets, Vietnam vets, Gulf War Iraq War vets. They won’t know the first thing about the dangers our soldiers are being put in as they work to lend a hand at crippled and compromised Japanese nuclear plants.

What about the top military doctor Terry Lakin languishing in a military brig because he is uncertain about his deployment orders? Just what is going on, America?

After I came home on Palm Sunday, I thought of all of the school children being tossed about in the liberal hell of public schools who are taught to see America as evil, who aren’t being taught our country’s triumphs and greatness. And I say, How dare they? How dare they, these power-driven Democratic liberals who are hellbent on removing the name of God the Father and Jesus Christ from America, and forcing the Ten Commandments out of our halls justice? How dare this man say “America is not a Christian Nation!”

It’s Eastertide, Americans — a time of regeneration and renewal. Will you wake up?

THIEVING CARPENTER



A man with a nagging secret couldn't keep it any longer. In the confessional he admitted that for years he had been stealing building supplies from the lumber yard where he worked.

"How much material did you take?" his priest asked.

"Enough to build my own house, and enough for my son's house, and houses for our two daughters and our cottage at the lake."

"This is very serious," the priest said. "I shall have to think of a far-reaching penance. Have you ever done a retreat?"

"No, Father, I haven't," the man replied, "But if you can get the plans, I can get the lumber."

Because The Tomb Is Empty, My Life Can Be Full...


This is the empty garden tomb in Israel:



And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. -Mark 16:6
