The realities of free speech in the work place for the Editrix

The realities are that although Americans are protected by the First Amendment our speech is restricted.

We may not hang a picture of any President in our office except the current one. Thus we may hang a picture of Yogi Bear but not of Abraham Lincoln. The fact that Lincoln remains dead for over 100 years and is on our currency is not considered.

Our speech is regulated to the point that anything that considered by anyone to be offensive is considered grounds for disciplinary action. In reality it is a tool of far left and in an office of 200 plus people four workers made up 90% of the complaints.

Certain actions are offensive and should be met with a suspension. Calling a short Black coworker Gary Coleman or calling an Italian coworker Tony Soprano would get people a suspension.

In the recent election I was careful never to say a single word. Even the cryptic phrase said to a coworker "talk to me on April 15" was deemed offensive by a person who illegally played pro Obama campaign messages at work.

In reality these rules are used by people with a far left agenda to harass their peers and some supervisors to bludgeon their staff. The fact that this seems insane and flies in the face of common sense is just meaningless.

The perils of a free press

I am starting to wonder if the media coverage of the rampage shootings such as VA Tech and Columbine play a significant factor. We learn all about these demented individuals and this does seem to play a part in the crime itself.

We do live in a free society and the media is unrestricted. We get the media we deserve at times
and the lack of critical coverage of Obama outside of Fox is a joke. Our country is in a recession people want to find jobs and there is a real sense that government is out of control.

I am quite amused by commies who parrot the imbecile Noam Chomsky who waxes idiotically about corporate media. Commies create media events that often end in violence like the idiotic Gaza convoys. The notion that this was organized by terrorists and Communists as a media event and that the supplies were not needed is lost.

I am reminded of an event that was rather amusing at the RNC convention in NYC years back.
A woman screamed hysterically at Republicans you killed my brother. The cameras focused on a woman who was out of control. A veteran who was anti war asked the details and it was apparent that this persons brother fell off the aircraft carrier and the aircraft carrier had nothing to do with the Iraq War.

Terrorism is a publicity stunt largely perfected by commies with Red Brigades and Pseudostinians killing people for media coverage. Of course we can't and shouldn't ban coverage of 9-11 type of atrocities. However, maybe we need to rethink article after article on the lives of criminals and terrorists.

Unfortunately, the stories do sell and that is what drives publication. The media is merely guilty in those cases of giving us what we wish to read. They do this with everything except their sacred cow politician Obama and to a lesser extent Hillary.

The First Amendment is a great thing, but it comes with a price. The media wouldn't print those stories if we as a society didn't demand them.

Maybe a larger story should be can you still name the Columbine Killers or remember the details about the VA Tech killer. The fame is fleeting and they ultimately return to irrelevancy.

Communist Double Talk with Terrorism

Our friend Duncy pretends that Communists have nothing to do with terrorism. They make these claims that Code Pinko and Ayers and the Red Army are just anachronisms.

It turns out that the organizer of the flotilla is a terrorist organization linked to Al Queda. It just so happens that commies Bill Ayers, Dorn and Evans are active in the Free Gaza movement. The pattern of law breaking and aiding terrorism continues until the present.

Has anyone asked Obama about the continuing support and fund raising for terrorism by Bill Ayers who has broken laws previously? If we had responsible governance the leaders of Code Pink would at least be answering questions about when did they know they were working with an organization affiliated with Al Queda. Ayers never does seem to be held accountable for his actions.

The reality is that when one is a commie one is never held accountable for their actions or their history in the USA.

Logic of the Duck or Bird Brained Marxist Moronics

Yeagley Is Eeeeeevil because he dares to call Obama a negro and highlight his race. However, the Duck thinks it is perfectly acceptable to label Condi Rice Aunt Jemimah. Of course the Duck feels racial epithets are perfectly fine when said by Commies.

Disgraceful coverage by the Bolshevik NYT

The New York Times of Duranty fame proves once again why it is not to be trusted as a news source. The paper did not mention the presence of foreign communists in the Gaza ship fiasco. The paper did a very poor job of discussing the actual terrorist record of Turkish organizers.

The Israelis do not and should not apologize for defending their country from a terrorist state. There is no starvation in Gaza and when the thugs in Hamas provoke a military response the same Joooo obsessed Communists go into Jooooo derangement mode.

It is time for a different ship to set sail. Americans should gather meat and fresh produce and set sail for Venezuela. The ship should be manned by foreign anticommunists and hand out leaflets about the crimes against humanity of Chavez to recipients. Unlike the folks in Gaza who can readily find high quality meat and produce Venezuelans and Cubans have acute shortages.

Of course Cubans who have tried to rescue their family members by sea have been killed. The usual suspects approve of these abuses and talk about literacy and health care. When encouraged to relocate to Cuba if it is so great the bird brained Duck makes excuses.

Perhaps some intrepid Israelis should take the next boat and deposit it off the coast of Venezuela. The Israelis should then take the passports of the Commies and let Hugo deal with them. Let the people of Venezuela where the economy is in by far and away the worst shape of the region excepting Haiti and explain why the Gazans who lack for nothing need additional aid.

Those who were inclined to be Joooooo obsessed at the drop of a hat will continue to blame Israel
as in this case. One can not reason with Communists. They belong in mental institutions or prisons where they can pretend their paradises exist and the genocides they created are somehow rationalized.

Who loves America

I want to point out that a certain person who is quite clueless is proclaiming that they love America.
In fact this person does not understand what makes America unique.

Most of the readers here love America and one does not even have to be a US citizen to love America. In order to love this nation one must embrace the ideals as expressed in our founding documents. Our nation is one of shared vision an ideals open to all who share this vision.

Now a certain individual has wrapped themselves in the flag while denigrating Black people. Sorry,but Blacks have served with honor in every aspect of American life. This should come as no surprise as they are very much a part of the American family.

There are reasons to oppose Obama. He is more egocentric and arrogant than Bill Clinton and is amazingly less competent. He has spent little time trying to create real jobs for America and ran around promoting lousy ideas. He has gotten a free pass from the media without having any idea
of how to get people back to work.

None of the above has anything to do with race. In fact criticism of Obama on racial grounds goes against the ideas expressed in our founding documents.

The American ethos embodies individual rights and respect for property rights. The Duck is also
unamerican because he is beholden to death cult statism. Theft of private property under the
verbiage of Nationalization and class warfare populism are typical of this malady. Poultry regularly sides with every enemy of America and wants the tax payer to subsidize his obnoxious
views. People like poultry frequently call themselves "citizens of the planet". I would like them to
act upon this and renounce their citizenship.

The Duck also pretends that communist Larazza is fiction. The Duck will pretend that the racist
seditious group has nothing to do with communism while its leaders hail Chavez. Sorry, but the only things communists like Duncy excel at is treason and sedition

One can not be a patriot while castigating fellow citizens on the basis of their race. This person is merely misguided. Communists, seek the destruction of America and want it replaced with statism. They are unamerican and should do all of us a favor and join Hugo permanently.

Ban the ISM and prosecute its leaders

The ISM is a group that aids and abets terrorists. The recent episode at sea is the latest example of
Communist and Anarchists violating US law. Those members of the ISM should face criminal prosecution upon their return home.

The folks in Gaza are not starving and are in better shape than the people of Cuba and Venezuela.
Of course a ship delivering fresh meat and produce with anti Communist messages would be sunk.
Cuba has killed people for trying to help people escape Communism via the sea while the Duck waxes nostalgically about their health care and repeats cliches about literacy. Everyone is free to read exactly what the Communist government says they can read.

A day with the Tranquil Sea

I spent a short day with the Tranquil Sea. We had a short family meal and it was off to work. On the way back I did stop by the Museum of the American Indian. I did pay a years membership dues and proceeded to the book store. I am disappointed that they did not have more on the Abenakis and Oneida. Of course there was wall to wall stuff on the Plains folks. I would like to see more on the Northeastern tribes who seem to get lousy PR.

I am glad that Kenneth Roberts has devoted plenty of space to the Abenakis in the early part of Arundel. For those of you keeping score Northwind was mostly French with some Abenaki as well.

Waiting for the facts

I am going to wait a bit before commenting on the lefties getting shot at sea. In general from past
experience with fake Jenin massacres, doctored film of kids being supposedly shot by them Joooos
and stories of Jooooos stealing organs from Haitians lifted out of the blood libel we should wait for the facts to emerge.

These were not peace protesters singing "we shall overcome". These were hardened communist agitators looking to manipulate the media as usual.

Our own Bad Eagle type of hreoes

As Memorial Day arrives the question arises as to who our personal heroes are. Each and every one of us has a relative or a person to whom they look at as heroic. They do not have to be military
people. It could be someone like the family of Junglemom who has dedicated herself to serving a community and spreading the word of Christ. It can be any Veteran including Warren, Justin, Elmer or Big Bubba. Or it can be a devoted wife like AOW who has faced adversity.

In my own family we have our own giants. None looms larger than my maternal grandmother who was the most brilliant person I have ever met. Life had not been kind to her, but she never complained about losing her family in the Holocaust, said a bad word about her first husband (my grandfather) who was a creep or losing a beloved son three decades before she passed away. She was a loving grandparent and a brilliant business woman.

My paternal grandfather was a gentle man who served in the Polish Cavalry. He was a simpler man whose dedication to his craftsmanship and his family were the center of his life. He was not
political but understood Communism was evil and fought with distinction for the Polish Army in the war against the Bolshevik savages. He had no love for Poland and left at the first opportunity
to emigrate to America. He loved this country and was very proud of his citizenship. He despised
war in general and was not very political. He did strongly support the State of Israel and visited
the Kotel shortly after it was liberated. A picture of his visit wearing tephilin and a talis hung on the wall next to his framed citizenship papers.

These are just two of my own relatives I could have chosen. My pen name is an actual tribute to
my younger brother the Beloved Rav Roov whose nick name is "the Beaker". The pen name is an actual inside joke as my brother complained about my shadow. Thus when I created a pen name I placed myself in his shadow. I am happy being known as the relative of "the Beaker".

Each of us likely has our own Bad Eagle type of heroic relative. As odd as it seems many of you will even become inspirational models for the future generations in someone's life.

The shoes of the Beakerkin

My nephew Drummaster has ironically followed my career path. He is much smarter than I am as I blundered into this career entirely by accident. People with my major tended to work on Wall Street but the market tumbled before I graduated and the jobs were gone. I was supposed to go to law school, but romance changed that path.

Drummaster is starting out with a lot of pluses. He is going into the field with a criminal justice degree. Oddly, I think business is an advantage as one will learn law on the job. The one advantage he had that I did not was a role model as I merely drifted with the winds and settled into being an officer.

Drummaster is quite sharp and posses a more clinical mind. He does not posses the large personality or stage presence of Rav Roov or myself. It remains to be seen if he has the ability to improvise on the fly. However, as he tends to be more clinical and methodical he should do fine.

One of his sisters has also followed my path. I do not expect her to remain there as her abilities
and temperament are a poor match. She does not posses the love of the written word or writing
ability. Unfortunately, she has my lightning rod factor. Hopefully, she will find another career path more suited to her skills.

Officer Drummaster has a good sound to it.

Candidates For The Beakerkin Office Wall

Every three months or so I add a celebrity picture to the wall in my office. Currently, there is a Telly Savalas picture and one of Dennis Weaver. I will place ten candidates on the list and you can vote who will be the next person on the wall

1) John Wayne. I already have a book with his likeness prominently exhibited.
2) Clint Eastwood
3) Jack Klugman
4) Gary Coleman
5) Lee Marvin
6) Derek Jeter
7) Raquel Welch
8) Charlton Heston
9) Eli Walach
10) Deborah Harry

I am leaning to placing up a picture of John Wayne from the Searchers. If I were to place one of Eastwood it would be Dirty Harry.

I cast my vote for Wayne.

The reality of Gays and the law

The United States does provide some avenue of relief for people in abusive relationships known as the VAWA act. The abuse need not be physical and there is some legitimate discussion about what is and is not non physical abuse. A spouse that flaunts adulterous affairs and is not named Clinton qualifies under the law. It is a law with good intentions, but there are serious questions as to where we draw the line over what qualifies.

The problem is that some gays and lesbians often to not live in families that resemble Ozzie and Harriet or even the dysfunctional and borderline criminal Bundy family. The reality is that by not recognizing the reality of these relationships via Civil Union or Marriage we are forcing some people
to stay in violent relationships needlessly. The problem is also worse than one presumes because many times the gay or lesbian applicants are estranged from their families.

I am also not a fan of laws that encourage otherwise honest people to break the law because there is no legal redress. Thus an officer has to endure Will and Grace fakeries from Gays trying to remain in the USA to be with their real loved ones via fake marriages.

I am still pro civil union. Unlike some of my peers I am ready for the day when a change in the law will remedy this situation. We will judge the elements of the Union as we do for other couples
and the process won't be much different.

Officers work with the laws that are on the books.When the laws or policies change we adapt. I
would remind people that criticize the folks in AZ that the policy of benign neglect has not alleviated the problem of illegal aliens. The legal residents of Arizona have a right to enforce existing laws. Perhaps if the administration hired and deployed enough ICE agents and Immigration Judges who enforce the law the furor would die down.

Remember that all laws have consequences and human faces behind them.

RIP Gary Coleman

I was a huge Gary Coleman fan. He was fun and had parts in other TV shows as well. He was in Good Times and Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century. In later years he was down on his luck and did some appearances on TV. He even appeared on the Simpsons twice, Married with Children and the last episode of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

He was always making fun of himself. There was a comedy bit with the Gary Coleman grill. He was also in the Surreal life and ran for Governor. He was more qualified than Ariana Huffington.

In later years his life was filled with trouble. It was a sad end for a man who brought joy and happiness to millions. He was everyone's little brother.

Forgotten Allies by Glatthaar and Martin

This is very valuable and informative reading about the history of the Revolutionary War and the historical contributions of the Oneida people. The book describes how the new Nations forgot their allies and the tribe split up. Some of the tribe moved to Wisconsin and Canada.

The book introduces us to many memorable and brave Oneida. The patriot Thomas Sinivais gave his life for the cause. The mighty Warrior Hon Yerry and his wife Two Kettles together and a son fought with distinction at Oriskany which may have been the most brutal of the entire conflict. Blatcop Toneyentagoyon who broke his arm at Oriskany was one of two Oneidas recognized by Lafayette Fifty years later. The other was Henry Cornelius.

The book is not only the story of mighty warriors. It is the story of the devout Good Peter trying to save his tribe from alcohol. It is the story of the wise leader Grasshopper and the ageless and wise Skenadoah who lived to be 110.

I have read several books and many articles about the battle of Oriskany. This book is the first that deals with the Oneida and other Indians who fought with the patriots. Their history should be told as well as the Stockbridge Indians who fought with the patriots in the Revolutionary War.

The book is a very pleasant reading experience and well worth the time and effort to read.

It is the economy stupid

The job of government is to regulate industry, protect its citizens, build and maintain public works projects and limited social safety nets. Over time the expansion of these safety nets and lavish retirement benefits cripple an economy.

The problem is that the political left talks about defense while ignoring entitlements. The question in this age should be "is this the governments job to..". We need to also review the practices and
training of governmental agencies. We need to redirect and refocus our governmental agencies
with a coherent operating model that has increased accountability and efficiency.

We also have to rethink narcotics and violence. It is apparent that the drug trade plays a large role
in terrorism and creating chaos in places like Mexico, Colombia and Jamaica. It may be time to rethink and redirect our policies.

Islamo Communism Weakens

There are certain odious aspects of life in the Saudi Kingdom that do mimic Communist thugery.
The theocracy does maintain a force of religious police and finks that are similar to famed Cuban
block patrols.

Well apparently some of the local women have had it and one apparently beat the crap out of the religious goon. We talk about Saudi Arabia but in reality they did not react in as brutal manner as had this happened in Cuba.

The Duck could swap out his manifesto for a Koran and repeat 90% of his material. In reality communism has more in common with the corrupt Saudi Thugocracy than a secular democracy.

Who is gay ???

I am kind of perplexed with all of the talk about who is and who is not gay. The truth is that we can not really tell who is gay by vocation or interest.

A friend of mine who sometimes comments here is gay. He served as a proud chaplain in the Army
and has children and lives in Texas. On the other hand I worked in women's fashion in the famed garment center for well over a decade. Unlike my friend Justin I am often found in art museums or in Broadway shows. I prefer Surfer instrumentals, Pink Floyd, British Invasion Music and will listen to a Broadway show tune album on rare occasion. I live in NYC and have lived in Union Square which is very gay and communist. The stereotypes would say I am gay and Justin is not but life isn't stereotypes.

Some of us feel Yeagley may or may not be gay. He says he is some sort of asexual type probably due to a mental defect or two. He did describe a romance in college with a Jewish female that didn't work out. He does have an interest in womens fashion which is unusual. However, I worked with many gay and straight people in the fashion industry. I can probably do Yeagley one better in that I actually designed something that did get sold in Lord and Taylor and that is a real long story.

There is plenty of speculation about the orientation of poultry. This is caused by his constantly outing other people. To be honest I really do not care who is or is not gay. It has less impact on me personally than working next to a vegan. Working next to a vegan who gives me headaches
about my love of KFC and Cuban cuisine is a bummer. Being in a relationship with a vegan is a deal killer for me as I like to bond over a meal. The Tranquil Sea does not eat Beef or Pork but I am able to make do. I explained to the Beloved Sprite that my people do eat Beef and I will eat pork where it is appropriate as in Cuban sandwiches.

Maybe Poultry who uses gay as an epithet is not as evolved as he thinks. I do not see gay as an epithet, it just is not me.

To the clown who thinks I should adopt a tribe and give myself a name. I am a member of an ancient tribe known as the tribe of Judah. I do have a tribal name as well so I am not lacking there. Oddly some communist antisemite claimed that my religious name was an alias. Actually,
it is only used for ceremonies and only my immediate family knows what that name is. Oddly, as I never state what it is I can never be called to perform ceremonies. I use the Spaghetti Western
Technique of the man with no name to avoid ceremonies. When asked I state the name on the birth certificate only. I think only my parents and Rav Roov know what that name is.

TheHayworth flap

What is lost in the discussion of the Hayworth was the context of the discussion. The discussion was about the legality of military action without formal declarations of war. In the case of Hayworth
he is factually wrong but substantively correct. In this case Congress affirmed a state of war after it had been declared by Germany. This is quite different than initiating a declaration of war. The substance of Hayworths point is largely correct. We declared war on Germany only after Hitler declared war on the USA.

I find it odd that the shrill lefties remain silent on yet another Democrat lying about serving in Vietnam. For the record I have never heard of anyone calling service in the reserves a dodge other than lefties talking about Quayle and GW Bush. Serving in the reserves is still honorable and we salute all veterans not named John Kerry.

Big Mistake Freeing Lori Berenson

Lori Berenson should not have been freed by the government of Peru. In fact she should face additional charges for aiding and abetting terrorists. From her interview in 2008 she shows zero remorse and has not come to grips with her crimes.

People on the far left think that they can violate US law and conduct their own foreign policy. Berenson had zero business getting involved in another nations civil war. The Castro regime which is peachy with Berenson has executed Americans for far less than her activities.

Berenson will probably write a book, go on the University Bolshevik lecture scene. If she possessed
any degree she would parlay this into a job for no scholarship.

Thanking The Readers

I want to thank the readers of this blog on the day before my birthday. It was an interesting year, but ultimately things worked out in the end. I have never been happier in my life.

I want to specially thank TMW, AOW and Warren for their patience. AOW was a wonderful host
and my trip came at an interesting time. Her poor students likely had to endure some of the books I brought with me. The restaurant we went to was my idea of a fine one excellent food and accommodation, decent price and killer fried zucchini.

The Tranquil Sea and the Beloved Sprite fill my days with love. I will be celebrating my first fathers day this year. I really did not think I was up to the task of serving in a parental role. The role just comes naturally. Sometimes, I amaze myself with the patience and gentleness that does not seem to be me. The Beloved Sprite is a great kid who never knew her biological father who passed away before she was born. She is more of an arts and crafts type than I. It is amazing how different she is from the nieces or nephews. Drummaster and Cheekseter were very similar
to myself and the Beloved Rav Roov and just glide through books. The rest have to work for what they can get.

Oddly, Son of a Beaker is probably headed abroad to study in a Yeshiva as his passions lie with theology. The kid does have a good heart, but being a pulpit clergyman takes real charisma and a large personality like myself of Rav Roov. He does not seem to have been given one. Having a large personality and stage presence is a blessing and a curse. I am always remembered and people always have an opinion. It is a lot easier to go through life as a vanilla faceless type. My career in government probably would have been easier if I had a smaller personality like Son of a Beaker.

For all of the difficulties we sometimes have moments that make everything worth while. I had a case where I was able to help a woman who had been waiting for 38 years for the right officer.
The job is often very magical. I can not describe another job where you walk in the city and people run and hug you and say Thank you Officer Beakerkin. Most of the time I do not remember them.

So I am off to find the missing Surf Rock CDS that annoy the Vegan. I am looking for a copy of Northwest Passage by Roberts in the used book stores. Even on Amazon hard cover is a chunk of change. I will also try and find a book or two on the Donme or crypto Jews of Turkey at some point. There is much discussion of their role in Jihadist and Joooo obsessed type circles.

Life is goooooooood.
