Don Imus & Good Ol Rev Al

You know I am pissed that they fired him today. I thought the suspension was message enough. I sincerly hope I am not offending anyone here.

Don Imus - Runs camp for trouble youths and disabled kids. Is primary funder of the Judy Center for Down syndrome and the Tomorrow Children Center for Cancer at the Joseph Stanzari childrens hosptial in NJ. Rude, crude and abnoxious but not a bad guy. Defender and philthropist of handicaped children.

Rev Al
First I am from upstate NY not far from where Rev Al ruined many lives. It was called the Tawana Brawley Case some you might actually have been too young to remember it so here is how it went.

Tawana Brawley was a African American girl who wrote racial slurs across her body through herself into a trash bin and claimed rape so her step father would not beat her for coming in late and having sex. She was about 14 or 15 at the time. Old enough to know better. She then falsely accused a State Prosecutor Steven Pagonas of raping her. She ruined his marriage his family, he lost his job and almost his life from the depression. Rev Al was yelling at how this man should spend the rest of his life in jail, had a special prosecutor appointed by the state all of his usual bull shit (sorry). All the while he knew it was a lie because she admitted it to him earlier on. So rather then take the high road he kept it up and made money off of it. He ruined a city and a town. God forbid you were white and went to motor vehicle you were taking your life into your hands after that.

Well they were "found out" a few years later and they were suied he amitted he lied and has not paid a dime back to the city or to Steven Pagonis for the judgment that he got against him and C Vernon Mason the lawyer for Brawley and Shaprton. He filed bankruptcy and said he could not pay. I am sure he pays a bundle for that doo of his.

No where was good Old Rev Al when those boys down south were wrongly accused by a african american woman, where was he when that prosecutor used that girl and and them to win an election. No where. Where was Good Old Al when IMUS said Mother Threasa a Saint or Bitch. No Where. He claims to want to stop the hate speech but on my block them good ol boys call each other N word all the ding dong day. What about the rappers calling their own women Hoe's. I say clean your house first. Sell your wife's 20K coat take your 1 Million dollar house and get your kids out of the private school you send them too. Make the right the wrong you committed when you ruined a life. And then I will listen.

Why is it OK to fire IMUS for that but when a Christian, Jew, Catholic, Homosexual, mentally disabled person is hurt and made fun of. This Jerk is no where to be found except in the hair salon.

I am sorry I am so angry right now. What IMUS did Was WRONG no doubt but no worse then what he did. I will fight for the ones that help our kids.

Happy Easter - He Has Risen

He has Risen - Truly he has Risen! Happy Easter all. Father Paul had us say that like 20x tonight but I love it. Tomorrow is Easter and we celebrate the rising of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Of Course, the kids love the Easter Bunny too. But I always try to make all of that very low key. Enough for the kids to have fun but to remember that today it is about Jesus and his death and resurrection. Easter does have some secularism to it with the Easter Bunny and egg hunts but the truth is I love it because it is not as commercialized as Christmas. In our society today commercialism comes with the territory so to speak but you don't see people fighting where to put rabbits or crosses.

It is a quite time where Passover goes and comes and Easter goes and comes with out much fan fair other then the bunny in the mall. Even with the cold the days get longer and spring is in the air. A renewing of life and our baptismal vows to God. What a perfect time for him to rise. When everything old is new again and life comes back after a long winter.

So when you see someone on the street do what Father Paul does Say He Has Risen and ask them to say to you Truly He Has Risen.

Peace and God Bless.

Autism

I don't want people to thing I am insensitive to the agony of mom's of kids with Autism I often wonder if I my son is blessed for having Down syndrome instead of Autism. My son can relate and love and hug and do many things children of Autism have a hard time with. I know several mom's of Autistic kids, one is a friend. She has a daughter with Autism and a Son with Down syndrome. She was amazing when I found out about Bryan and I was introduced to her, how can I not admire her faith in God her strength and her courage. It must be far more devastating to think you have a perfectly normal child only find out you don't.

But that being said I am angry that Autism is front and center, that all the celebrities come out for it. HELLO there are a ton of celebrities with siblings with Down syndrome where the hell are they? Someone please tell me. Autism is in the front and the parents are getting support from all the organization's, stores asking you to pay a dollar and support the cause, find the cure.

All of this while our children are systematically targeted for death on a daily basis. Why because you can not find Autism on an amnio? Why are these children worth everyone time and effort and dollars and ours are not? Because they look different. I have seen Autism first hand and yes it is a spectrum disorder it varies widely much like Down syndrome but most are far worse off then our kids. Yet they live because people thought they were normal prior to birth, and not dare I say Mentally Disabled.

So the message to my son is, it is OK to be Mentally Disabled and look normal there we will work to find a cure but if you are born with Almond Shaped eyes and are Mentally Disabled you are not worthy of our tax dollars, or your life.

Well piss on them then. My son is worth just as much as Toni Braxton's son, and others who receive this devastating diagnosis I know better then anybody the upside down, in the pit of your stomach feeling that your child will never be what you dreamed. But yet everyday people tell me he is not, I knew he had Down syndrome before birth I choose life and for that my son will be told in actions of others that he is so not worthy of life because I knew.

I know this sounds angry but I am. I write this with a heavy heart because we have tried to get Down syndrome Awareness on Oprah and she has flatly refused to even address the situation. Maybe a filler we will be in touch. There is a Major book coming out that we wrote 63 mothers. And yet she has ignored it. Sure it is easier to ignore it then to address it and educate people.

In closing I just hope someone in the spotlight opens their eyes to see the Genocide that is being performed on our children with Down syndrome everyday. Not out of being malicious but out of ignorance. And for that I blame the Dr's.

And what I also find ironic is our child with Down syndrome some have Austim. And yet I think they go unoticed too.
