The Virgin Mary spoke with the bride of her Son about a certain bishop for whom the bride was praying devoutly. Here she gives noteworthy instructions and offers a virtuous model according to which true bishops should live and govern themselves and their subjects spiritually and devoutly. Book 4 – Chapter 126 SAINT BRIDGET PATRON SAINT OF EUROPE PART IX That the bishop’s power is not to be sold means that the bishop should not knowingly commit simony nor tolerate it in others if he finds out about it, nor ordain or promote anyone for the sake of money and human favor, nor advance anyone whom he knows to be unworthy and of bad character because the worldly minded petition him to do so. That he should not give up his power to others on account of human friendship means that the bishop should not disguise the sins of the negligent out of false compassion, nor keep quiet out of friendship, nor, for any worldly reason, take on his own back the sins of others when he can, as he ought, correct them. The bishop is God’s sentinel. The blood of the dead is the sentinel’s responsibility, if the sentinel saw the danger and did not cry out or if he fell asleep or did not care. That the bishop should not lose his crown or miter through negligence means that the bishop should not delegate to others what he should and can do himself. Nor should he, for the sake of his own lukewarm ease, transfer to others what he himself is better able to carry out. Nor should the bishop be ignorant of …

Tea Party Protests Shouted At Members Of Congress Abusive, derogatory and even racist behavior directed at House Democrats by Tea Party protesters on Saturday left several lawmakers in shock. Preceding the presidents speech to a gathering of House Democrats, thousands of protesters descended around the Capitol to protest the passage of health care reform. The gathering quickly turned into abusive heckling, as members of Congress passing through Longworth House office building were subjected to epithets and even mild physical abuse. A staffer for Rep. James Clyburn (DS.C.) told reporters that Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) had been spat on by a protestor. Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a hero of the civil rights movement, was called a nier. And Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) was called a faggot, as protestors shouted at him with deliberately lisp-y screams. Frank, approached in the halls after the presidents speech, shrugged off the incident. But Clyburn was downright incredulous, saying he had not witnessed such treatment since he was leading civil rights protests in South Carolina in the 1960s. It was absolutely shocking to me, Clyburn said, in response to a question from the Huffington Post. Last Monday, this past Monday, I stayed home to meet on the campus of Claflin University where fifty years ago as of last Monday I led the first demonstrations in South Carolina, the sit ins And quite frankly I heard some things today I have not heard since that day. I heard people saying …
During his questioning of Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Shalom Bernanke before the House Financial Services Committee, US congressman Alan Grayson (D), representing Florida’s 8th congressional district (Orlando, Ocala, Eustis), burst out laughing at Bernanke’s hubris. (21 July 2009) Grayson’s questioning focused on the Fed’s handouts to FOREIGN central banks in Europe and other countries. These “Central Bank Liquidity Swaps” rose from a total of $24 billion at the end of 2007, to over $553 billion by the end of 2008. Grayson: “So who got the money?” Bernanke: “Financial institutions in Europe and other counries.” Grayson: “Which ones?” Bernanke: “I don’t know.” Gryson: “Half a trillion dollars and you don’t know who got the money?” It gets even better. 3:02 – Grayson: “Well, look at the next page [in Bernanke's written report], the very next page has the US dollar nominal exchange rate, which shows a 20 percent increase in the US dollar nominal exchange rate at exactly the same time that you were handing out half a trillion dollars. You think that’s a coincidence?” Bernanke: “Yes.” Grayson: “hah-hah-hah-hah!” And really, can Ben Bernanke possibly be so ignorant of the history of the institution that he heads not to know what year the Federal Reserve Act was passed (under very shady circumstances) by the US congress? Anyone who is interested in the nefarious origins of the Federal Reserve must read the great book by G. Edward Griffin, “The Creature from Jeckyll Island.” You …
