Transfiguration of Our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ

August 5, 2007 AD

Pre-Festive Day of the Transfiguration

Transfiguration

Matthew 17:14-20 - And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and kneeling before him said, "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly; for often he falls into the fire, and often into the water. And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him." And Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me." And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured instantly. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?" He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. But this kind never comes out except by prayer and fasting." (RSV)

Origen - When someone has total faith, such that he no longer disbelieves in anything found in holy Scripture and has faith like that of Abraham, who so believed in God to such a degree that his faith was reckoned to him as righteousness, then he has all faith like a grain of a mustard seed. Then such a man will say to this mountain – I mean in this case the deaf and dumb spirit in him who is said to be epileptic – “Move from here to another place.” It will move.

Dormition Fast began on August 1st and continues until the Feast of the Dormition of the Mother of God on August 15th.

August Feasts:

  • August 6 - Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord, God, and Savior, Jesus Christ
  • August 15 - Feast of the Dormition (Falling-Asleep) of the Mother of God

The Icon is of the Transfiguration of our Lord.

Kos Kommies imitate themselves, shut down opposition voice of military man

'Ya know how it goes: once a commie always a stinking commie, and wanna be leftie kook blog leader, Markos M Zuniga, showed again that even when NOT in power, the crazies on the left will shut down all voices that are contrary to their PC world [recall, the term PC, politically correct, was a mainstream euphemism in communist China during Mao's 'cultural revolution', gang of 4 sans Peking duck].


Nut case lefty kommie Kos, MM Zuniga, par favor dos en Espanol

Here's the story on the shenanigans at his Kos Kommie Party in Chicago on Sat Aug 4th [figure he'd have it in IL where fellow pharmacist-purger Guv "Slobodan" Blagojevich rules with his iron fist [well, maybe, a plastic fist]

A moderator at a conference of "progressive" bloggers attended by leading Democratic presidential candidates engaged in an unusual confrontation with a man in military uniform, refusing to let him speak and demanding he identify himself.


'Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!'

The panel, "The Military and Progressives," took place today at the YearlyKos in Chicago, an annual event run by influential blogger Markos Moulitsas of the DailyKos.

The confrontation was captured on video posted by blogger Ian Schwartz, beginning at about the 40-minute mark.

Ezra Klein of the American Prospect, who witnessed the incident called it an "odd close" to the panel, reporting that at the end "a young man in uniform stood up to argue that the surge was working, and cutting down on Iraqi casualties."

"The moderator largely freaked out," Klein wrote. "When other members of the panel tried to answer his question, he demanded they 'stand down.'"

The moderator, Klein said, "demanded the questioner give his name, the name of his commander and the name of his unit. And then he closed the panel, no answer offered or allowed, and stalked off the stage."

Panelist Wesley Clark, the former NATO commander and 2004 Democratic presidential candidate, "took the mic and tried to explain what had just occurred," Klein said.

Klein said "the argument appears to be that you're not allowed to participate in politics while wearing a uniform, or at least that you shouldn't, and that the questioner was engaging in a sort of moral blackmail, not to mention a violation of the rules, by doing so."

He concluded: "Knowing fairly little about the army, I can't speak to any of that. But it was an uncomfortable few moments, and seemed fairly contrary to the spirit of the panel to roar down the member of the military who tried to speak with a contrary voice."

Democratic presidential candidates expected to attend the conference are former Sens. John Edwards and Mike Gravel; Sens. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Chris Dodd; and Rep. Dennis Kucinich. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid also are expected.

Guv "Slobodan" Blagojevich ticks off even the Abortoholic Dems



Dude, this wacky left wing Serb just really has no idea how to wins friends and influence people! First, he becomes the Diktator of the Land of Lincoln in April 2005 by issuing his "I-hate-pharmacists-who-think-or-have-a-consience" diktat. Immediately he finds hisself and the state of IL, already taxing its citizens beyond redemption, defending FOUR lawsuits from various pharmacists who will not be tread upon by a despot with a moral umbilical tied to the bloodthirsty commie mass murderer back in stari kraj, Slobodan Milosevich.

Now, he wants to torque off all the reps in the Assembly by constantly calling it into session, as is his right in the IL constitution, most notably twice on Saturday July 7th. Seems his arch-nemesis for the month is a non-pharmacist, GOP house speaker Michael Madigan, who is running against crazy Slobo for governor this fall.
Should be a hoot!

Seems Guv Slobo wants $5 billion more spent in give-away candy including getting much wampum from gambling casinos he wants built. Madigan proposes a much lower spending spree of $1 Bill....oh, well, what's afew Billion more, right tovarish?


Guess the Guv says it all when he wears my fave T-shirt of hisself!
Maybe he should just stick to hating pharmacists who can think for themselves and who still have a Conscience. It would save him from having his crony on the board of pharmacy from Walgreen's sending his goons out in the night to fire pharmacists who won't swear allegiance to helping kill their preborn clientele.

Freedom of Choice for Pharmacist Rights of Conscience

The chicks at NARAL are at it again, using

pro-lifer blogs
for fund raising letters

Golly, gee whiz! How come those NAGs don't finish the thought and come out once and
for all and support FREEDOM of CHOICE for ALL PHARMACISTS to Rights of
Conscience? Are they now anti-choice?

Jill Stanek's blog
kind of said it all. Lord knows, the left hates success and using Wal Mart as their
punching bag is a lefty no brainer.


So what's the hub-a-bub, Bub? Wal Mart already stocks
the abortifacient Plan B at ALL its store now, recently caving in to the abortoholics
at NARAL and their fellow travelers.
Ah, those wascals at Wal Mart allowed a Springfield, OH pharmacist to exercize his rights of
conscience and not dispense Plan B recently. And that to a 23 year old female
'living in sin" with a 37 year old guy in need of a razor. The pharmacist explained--
politely even though you wouldn't know it from the drive-by media reports--
that he believed in the sanctity of life and could not knowingly dispense a
known abortifacient.

That some pharmacists can think for themselves, they are not automaton robots
just filling anything and everything, escapes the cranial power of these folks
who want freedom of 'choice' for everyone BUT the highly trained pharmacist,
who goes through a strict curriculum of a minimal 6 or 7 years of college,
has to now have an entry-level doctorate to practice, and who has the ongoing
burden of continuing education of 15-20 hrs per year of UNpaid time.

Coupled with the current severe shortage of overworked pharmacists in the US, the smart money knows
the chains cannot afford to chase more good pharmacists to another line of work.
They, the several state boards of pharmacy and the willing accomplices in the
'trade' associations--more interested in pharma funding than member services
and protection--had better start reading the writing on the wall: pharmacists with
high morals and ethics make MUCH better employees than those with no conscience,
or who are willing to skip good clinical care of their patients. That is good for patient
safety and care, and--ultimately--good for business.

Here's the NARAL pitch for money and taking away pharmacist 'choice'.

And here's another great opinion on the matter
