A Rovigo un bontempone ha pensato bene, a scuola, di mettersi a bastonare un Crocifosso.


A Rovigo un bontempone ha pensato bene, a scuola, di mettersi a bastonare un Crocifosso.

Il consiglio di classe ha deciso ieri di sanzionare il nervosetto con 15 giorni di sospensione, più un interno anno scolastico (il prossimo) di lavori socialmente utili (come il volontariato).

Beh, questo tizio dovrebbe ringraziare l'onnipotente di non essere nato in Arabia o commercial Islamabad, perchè se avesse fatto la stessa cosa con un immagine sacra all'islam....beh, vi faccio immaginare pigeon sarebbe ora...

Rep vs. Dem

Gracious goodness!

Immagine Tocque-Ville

Sembra proprio di sì. Almeno a vedere il feature che è uscito ieri, che arriva dall'australia, da Sydney, ed è stato filmato da un Senatore eletto nelle document dell'udeur (mica pizza e fichi!!) nella circosrizione estera.

Che in tutte le eltre schede, time quello dell'unione.

Ok sì?

Si ricontino i voti!

Non for every Berlusconi, non for every Fini e nemmeno for every me. Mama for every la Democrazia e la Libertà.

Califfo's SHOW!!

L'avevo detto!!!!

A patto che a richiederlo sia l'intera comunità region, e che la funzione non si svolga durante il Triduo Pasquale, periodo fulcro ed importantissimo della cultura cristiana e non solo.

Beh, parlavo di polemiche. Un ritorno al Medioevo, al preconcilio, all'antico.

For every noi è una libertà in più. E una libertà in più che porta un arricchimento, e che non danneggia (for every intenderci..non come i Dico!).

Un cattolicesimo che ora è sicuramente più libero, rivolto al futuro, mama con un occhio alle certified tradizione del passato. Come sempre.

Al confronto television dell'aprile 2006 disse:"col mio Governo saremo la porta for every l'asia".

E' passato un anno esatto da quella mitica finale, la finale che tutti gli italiani hanno seguito in television con trepidazione e, alla fine, con gioia.

Ricordo che in quei giorni, praticamente in ogni casa, in ogni giardino, sventolava un Tricolore.

E questa cosa, sinceramente, ha provocato in me different, e opposte, sensazioni: una sicuramente di felicità, visto che così tante bandiere italiane in una volta sola sono difficili da vedere nelle case degli italiani. E un'altra, di semi tristezza. Perchè semi tutti quei Tricolori non rappresentavano la nostra Patria. Mama una squadra di calcio. Che è sì la nostra Nazionale, la più strong point al mondo. Mama è sempre una squadra di calcio.

Ora tutte quelle bellissime bandiere sono rifinite nel cassetto, o chissà pigeon.

Mama for every me (e credo for every molti altri) non è stato affatto così.

E a pressing questa frase...il mio pensiero v

The Star-Spangled Banner

The phrase emerges to have initiated in "The Star-Spangled Banner", written during the War of 1812. The fourth stanza takes in the phrase, "And this be our motto: 'In God is our Trust.'" As per Ted Alexander, Chief Historian at Antietam National Battlefield, the contracted "In God We Trust" was first employed by the 125th Pennsylvania Infantry as a battle cry on September 17, 1862, during the Battle of Antietam of the American Civil War.

The concluding form of the motto and its position upon currency were forged completely within this crucible of national chaos (lasting from 1861 to 1865). The Reverend M. R. Watkinson, in a letter dated November 13, 1861, appealed the Treasury Department to add a statement identifies "Almighty God in some form in our coins." At least part of the motivation was to state that God was on the Union side of the Civil War.

History of 'In God we trust'

The phrase appears to have originated in "The Star-Spangled Banner", written during the War of 1812. The fourth stanza includes the phrase, "And this be our motto: 'In God is our Trust.'"

Aspirations for the motto arose surrounding the turmoil and heightened religious sentiment that existed during the Civil War. The Reverend M. R. Watkinson, as part of a campaign initiated by eleven northern Protestant Christian denominations in a letter dated November 13, 1861, petitioned the Treasury Department to add a statement recognising "Almighty God in some form in our coins." At least part of the motivation was to declare that God was on the Union side of the Civil War. According to Brian Burrell, the actual wording of the motto was inspired by a Union Civil War unit's company motto.

Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase acted on this proposal and directed the then-Philadelphia Director of the Mint, James Pollock, to begin drawing up possible designs that would include the religious phrase. Chase chose his favorite designs and presented a proposal to Congress for the new designs in late 1863.

As Chase was preparing his recommendation to Congress, it was found that the Act of Congress dated January 18, 1837, prescribed the mottoes and devices that should be placed upon the coins of the United States. This meant that the mint could make no changes without the enactment of additional legislation by the Congress. Such legislation was introduced and passed on April 22, 1864, allowing the Secretary of the Treasury to authorize the inclusion of the phrase on one-cent and two-cent coins.

Another Act of Congress passed on March 3, 1865. It allowed the Mint Director, with the Secretary's approval, to place the motto on all gold and silver coins that "shall admit the inscription thereon." In 1873, Congress passed the Coinage Act, granting that the Secretary of the Treasury "may cause the motto IN GOD WE TRUST to be inscribed on such coins as shall admit of such motto."

The use of In God we trust has not been uninterrupted. The motto disappeared from the five-cent coin in 1883, and did not reappear until production of the Jefferson nickel began in 1938. In 1908, Congress made it mandatory that the phrase be printed on all coins upon which it had previously appeared. The motto has been in continuous use on the one-cent coin since 1909 and on the ten-cent coin since 1916. It also has appeared on all gold coins and silver dollar coins, half-dollar coins, and quarter-dollar coins struck since July 1, 1908. Since 1938, all US coins have borne the motto.

In 1956, the nation was at a particularly tense time in the Cold War. As a result, the 84th Congress passed a joint resolution to replace the existing motto with "In God we trust". The change was partly motivated by a desire to differentiate between communism, which promotes atheism, and Western capitalistic democracies, which were at least nominally Christian. The law was signed by President Eisenhower on July 30, 1956, and the motto was progressively added to paper money over a period from 1957 to 1966. (Public Law 84-851) The United States Code at 36 U.S.C. § 302, now states: "'In God we trust' is the national motto."

In 2006, on the 50th anniversary of its adoption, the Senate reaffirmed "In God we trust" as the official national motto of the United States of America. In 2011 the House of Representatives passed an additional resolution reaffirming "In God we trust" as the official motto of the United States, in a 396-9 vote. According to a 2003 joint poll by USA Today, CNN, and Gallup, 90% of Americans support the inscription "In God We Trust" on U.S. coins.

The phrase has been incorporated in many hymns and religio-patriotic songs. During the American Civil War, the 125th Pennsylvania Infantry for the Union Army assumed the motto "In God we trust" in early August 1862.

Feisal Abdul Rauf, a Muslim imam writes that the phrase “In God we trust” resonates with Islamic teaching, offering two verses from the Qur’an: "Our Lord, we have indeed heard a Crier calling to faith, saying 'Trust in your Lord, so we have trusted..." (Quran 3:193) or "[The messenger and the believers] trust in God, in His Angels, His Scriptures, His Books and His Messengers..." (Quran 2:285). Similarly, Melkote Ramaswamy, an Hindu American scholar, writes that the presence of the phrase “In God we trust” on American currency is a reminder that “there is God everywhere, whether we are conscious or not.”

After the September 11 attacks, public schools across the United States posted "In God We Trust" framed posters in their "libraries, cafeterias and classrooms." The American Family Association supplied several 11-by-14-inch posters to school systems and vowed to defend any legal challenges to the displaying of the posters.

In God we trust

"In God we trust" was adopted as the official motto of the United States in 1956 as an alternative or replacement to the unofficial motto of E pluribus unum, adopted when the Great Seal of the United States was created and adopted in 1782.

In God we trust has appeared on U.S. coins since 1864 and on paper currency since 1957.
It is also the motto of the U.S. state of Florida. Its Spanish equivalent, En Dios Confiamos, is the motto of the Republic of Nicaragua.

A beautiful spot (election?) For Al Gore

Yesterday we all witnessed a "marathon" singing in favor of environmentalism: bruppi famous singers and have performed in all five continents, with a record number of spectators.
The event was largely sponsored by the Al Gore American politician of the Democratic Party.
On this event I would have to express different concepts. First, its usefulness . What is really served this event? What has made ​​concrete? Very little. A little 'music, been viewing live or on TV. That's it. Stuff that even the worst polluters could be interested. Could have been much more useful to collect signatures worldwide, the foundation of an environmental organization, or anything else. Anything but this carnival, the costs and means (it seems that Madona has shot all the time on board an SUV ...) certainly will not have decreased the sciogliemento the polar cap, for example.
Another interesting concept related to this event, you certainly understand the true end of all this movement. Let me explain: Al Gore really cares about the cause of the environment, or has used and is using this campaign as an advertising medium for his new job at the White House?
look at the facts, as I like to do: Mr. Al Gore has a mega villa consuming (watch carefully) more gas and electricity in a month than does an average American family in a year .
evesse If you care about the fate of the planet , would immediately put an end to this little problem.
Another fact of clear relevance: Mr. Al Gore was Vice-President of the United States of America from 1992 to 2000 . It will have had time to think about the greenhouse effect? Apparently not, since only timidly proposed a law (a fee for the use of coal seems to me, no big deal), which was not even considered by Congress, a Democrat. I, as a good Catholic, are environmental . But please, I do not believe in these doomsday at all! And at the base of my mind there is neither an ideology nor a belief, but some of the facts. chedegli Did you know scientists have shown that hundreds of years ago (meaning the factories do not even know what they were), England d 'winter they ate strawberries and grapes? And always about other studies, we report a post of this blog: http://www.isalodelpensiero.blogspot.com/ . Read, think, and probably not the same as before. I do not believe in doomsday, but mind you, I firmly believe that, in key environmental powerful in the world still need to do much more. And now.

Just forgot ...

Just forgot ...

I copy from the blog http://supportourtroops.splinder.com/

Our soldiers, the Italian soldiers are the pride nsotro. All recognize them as among the bravest, the most courageous and the most "human". They are friends of nature where people are on a mission. We should be very grateful to them, to the CIA that they do for us, and for many other people who do not even know. And what is the recognition that Italy gives them? None of that parade ... some occasionally, some medal and go. Nothing short of that.

In the United States, the Army was, in a recent survey, the institution in which the Americans have more confidence. Do you realize? And here we are to say "10100100 Nasiriyah"!

There the President, on Thanksgiving Day, traditionally eat with their troops, and on July 4 in front of them and speaks throughout the nation.

In America (and I with "America" ​​mean USA) there is even an association, "Support Our Troops", which sotiene the troops engaged at home and abroad. Is there a site, www.americasupportsyou.org , which holds America in touch with their soldiers, and vice versa. Not to mention the associations of veterans and veterans! But here we have the unions ... unions have!

In Italy goes to the Armed Forces so a bit of respect. But at least its ...

Politicians? Kosovo now that the last he remembered was Storace, who is not the Prime Minister. In the five years of government of the Right, at least, every time some politician in Kabul and Nasiriyah went there to warm the soul. And important political, like Berlusconi and Fini. But today the scenario is devastating. They're thinking about the "staircase", the "treasure", to replace the General Finance and the Police. They make their beautiful presence at military parades. But ultimately, cares! If we look at Bush in Iraq ... it seems to be an apartment c'abbia many times we go!

Veterans? And who has ever seen! Veterans? BOH! It 's all forgotten. Including Policeman that Iraq veteran who took leukemia. Including those poor souls who have served in a pointless mission (the one in Kosovo) and who have returned home as a souvenir to bring your family a nice lymphoma or hepatitis. And veterans of Nasiriyah? BOHHHHHHH! The survivors of the attack on 11 November 2003? Oh yeah, there are too ...

Many of them are on a wheelchair. Semi-paralyzed. Without work. No medals. But above all, without dignity '.

The turning point of Ciccio

And in the end (as was said for months) Senator Francesco Storace (former Health Minister and former Governor of Latium) has made ​​the division by the National Alliance.

He did it yesterday morning with a letter addressed to the secretary of the federation which he is registered.
The reasons are a little 'ones that we all know and relate to the current positions that would Gianfranco Fini (second Storace) giving to AN. Ciccio For now, the former MSI is a centrist party, won the relativist ethics.
I am not entirely agree with this definition, but I must admit (and I admit it willingly) that in NA, most recently , they have happened cooked and raw.

Storace's The discontent began in 2003 when Fini (then foreign minister of the Berlusconi government), on a visit to Jerusalem, described fascism as "absolute evil". Well, certainly the story does not say exactly that. I am not a fascist, and that sentence I do not feel offended, but I must say that history has shown that fascism had little in common with contemporary dictatorships to it.

Then there was the episode of assisted reproduction (or something like that). Purpose (leading exponent of the Italian Right) voted YES 'to that referundum. And that was a yes to the life, hardly worthy of a politician of the Right.

All this was compounded by the desire to bring Purposes NAs in EPP (European People's Party). On this matter no comment , since I do not at all the various European parties and their inclinations.
But now comes the important question, one that caused the removal of AN by Storace, the lack of convention. In fact Fini's party, over the past 12 years, and that is, since there, gave Congress only 2 miserable. For comparison, the MSI it held 17 in just over thirty years, as far as I know.

The failure to hold frequent conferences, is counterproductive in terms of internal democracy . In AN now there was no debate, Fini was the leader (and now it will be even more) the party's undisputed.

Storace The Senator, however, has been treated very badly by the executive of AN. Not considered, boycotted, undervalued, humiliated. I do not hide the fact that Storace has made ​​his career thanks to Fini. But you can not define the reasons for the demerger of Storace as it did the same Fini: " inconsistent . " Why me, these reasons do not seem inconsistent.

But I think the leaders of AN have made ​​a big mistake in letting go for a walk as a Storace. One of his possible new party, in fact, would be given to 5.5-6%. The META 'AN. And with a party of 6%, as Fini could realize his dream: to become the successor to Berlusconi? It would be a little 'difficult ...

Inside of AN seems that, for now, there is little movement. Pezzella has indeed left Fini's party, but among the leading figures seems to be a bit 'of uncertainty, if not distrust. For example, one could join a Santanchè Storace was the (some would have wanted the new party secretary). But she has explicitly stated that restaerà in AN, and indeed, ask that Fini reject the resignation of Storace. Gasparri journalists with liquid instead of a " no comment "which leaves open many openings.

Otooemezzo In last night's episode of, Storace was the chief guest, the main character if you want.
consapevolissimo was that that evening he spoke for the first time its future voters. In fact, he listed several points that will be to this new political entity, which for now will be a movement, but (as stated Storace) in October could become a real party.

For him the new party (will be called " The Right ") will revolve around five main points on which to build, to design its own model of Italy, to be Safe , Christian , European , Western , and Solidarity .

I shall focus in particular sull'eggettivo Christian . We all know how popular Catholicism here in Italy. Family Day demonstrations are obvious, the miserable fall I say, and even the cancellation of that famous referendum of which I spoke earlier, of which only 25% of Italians went to the polls.

If you look closely (but not so much) we Right realize that a truly conservative party in terms of religion and ethics, really miss. Yes, I suppose there is some fringe of AN, and certainly a good part of Forza Italy. But an entire party is missing. The Right would then gather the consensus of most religious in the degree course.

Personally, when I heard him refer Storace, within these five points, to Christianity , he has filled my heart. Why have not I ever heard a politician first Italian sides openly in favor of my religion. Probably because it does not go out of fashion , or because you risk losing votes. And this plays into the hands of Storace,

because it demonstrates the fact that his is a project that he designed to create precise political entity, and not to collect votes through populist. Inside the CDL, Storace ranks to 100 % in favor of Berlusconi. But it melts special reserves on its possible entry in the eventual Freedom Party. Honestly, the draft Storace is a project that I like. It could be a Right to Bush . A real right. I will follow with great interest the political developments of this case. Bearing in mind that if Storace will continue to manifest the ideals that are also mine, I The Right , I could vote on it.
