Christopher Dorner - A Lesson In Narcissism

Christopher Dorner killed three people in Los Angeles: 

Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence were killed by Dorner

I read the first few paragraphs of Dorner's manifesto, and while I was somewhat touched by the hardships of a young black man growing up in a racist world where he belongs to the "less than 1%", I was not swayed in Dorner's favor.

Christopher Dorner is the 'N' word, but not the one he mentions having heard in a van ride with his fellow officers. Dorner is a Narcissist.

I know the attitude quite well, as a matter of fact. It's an utter lack of humility, an attitude that you are more important than the millions of others around you. It leads people to lose their jobs, it creates a lack of contentment, as the person is always thinking he (or she) is being wronged somehow, the Narcissist always mouthing off reasons as to why things are not right, and they are not to blame.

The fact is, this "folk hero" as the media is reporting he is being called, shot and killed an Interracial couple while they sat in their car. 

Don't forget that.

Michael Crain was one of Dorner's victims

Christopher Dorner has an excuse for everything. In my opinion, having a job requires a level of humility that enables you to "turn the other cheek", a lesson that Dorner failed all the way back in grammar school, and continued to fail throughout his life.

The fact that on the day his principal struck him, and told him to turn the other cheek, that Christopher Dorner took that as his calling card to stand up to all injustice, is a sign that this is a man not fit to live among humans. In fact, he is a terrorist, in every sense of the word. Terrorizing Los Angeles, and terrorizing the media with an abundance of haunting, yet necessary coverage.

Becoming Our Own Moral Compass: Ushering In A New Pope

Pope Benedict XVI has resigned. And so with the passing of another Pope, in life or death, we see the hands of time tick on, and we are left with the coming of a new Pope in his place.

With the passing of this Pope, however, let us not forget ourselves, let us not forget the sins of the Priests committed under the outgoing and former leadership. Let us not forget that the Priesthood is something of a protective force for child molestation.

None of this is directed in anger, or fear, but in the sound realm of: this is what happened. This is the institution.

Michael Baker Child - Priest of Roman Catholic Church

When we see new leadership assumed in the office, let us acknowledge and pay deep tribute to this Holy position, but let us not forget our own moral and civil obligations to each other. We are not bound by the rules of a very elderly leadership (Benedict XVI became a priest in 1951). If the Pope wants to resign because of "very advanced age" then we all ought to know that he, too, is a mortal.

The sad and scary reality is that all of us are best suited to act as our own moral compass. We know that when we see a child murdering other children, it is wrong. The answer is not to blame anyone, but rather to prevent that from happening again. Literally from the moment that we learn of such an occurrence, we all must spread love to those in our society who need it the most.

We must start taking action to prevent our own bodies from spiraling into a state of disrepair. We must eat health, and exercise, or we must embrace the atrophy of the body and spirit that comes with complacency.

The Pope is a great beacon of all that is Holy on this Earth. However, we must recognize that we are left to solve the daily mysteries about how and why we are here. The answer is mysterious, by it's very nature, therefore we must accept that not everything else is mysterious. It's right in front of your nose.

Google your problems away. We must begin solving problems instead of inflaming them.

Eric Cantor Was Really Cool on Meet The Press

I'm not to familiar with Eric Cantor  for whatever reason, however, the last few interviews, and most importantly, Sunday's Meet The Press interview with David Gregory, he seems like the most reasonable Republican, and obviously intelligent.

He's the ideal Republican.

He's reasonable, he focused on the areas in which he could reason with the President, such as aiding the many immigrants who are already in the midst. Additionally, he suggested getting aid to the poor "without jobs and with jobs".

Instead of preaching the usual Republican, "Dey Took Er Jobs!" Eric Cantor, seemed rather composed and intelligent as he spoke of The Future of the GOP...

I wonder if Cantor will consider running ever. He's got a pretty amazing Souther Drawl, too.

But...

He opposes public funding of embryonic stem cell research. He once called it a distraction from the economy.

He opposes gay marriage.

Do I need anything else? Go to this site. Eric Cantor has an OBSCENE voting record.

He's got an amazing jaw line, I admit. He's a Southern Stallion. But he's... well, wrong on a lot of issues.

VAWA WTF?

There are 8 Republican senators halting the VAWA legislation because of the inclusion of LGBT citizens. Essentially the eight, which includes Tea Party darling and derelict, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky.

Here's the list:

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), 
Senator Michael Lee (R-UT),
Senator Tim Scott (R-SC),
Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), 
Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE), 
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY),
Senator Pat Roberts (R-KS),  
Senator James Risch (R-ID)

On domestic violence, "This is an economics issue," said Laura Flanders, a journalist for GriTV it is the number one reason women do not finish college."

What about protecting potential victims against violence don't you appreciate, Senators? If spending is the issue, then I'd like to see your figures, and then I'll show you the value of a human being. I doubt you're numbers will exceed mine.

The obstruction of the Republican Party is no longer regular checks and balances, it's impeding upon the progress and well being of people all over the world.

We are the beacon of hope, I thought I heard someone say. What kind of hope can you find in Senators that vote against the best interest of all people.

As a gay man, I'm disgusted and hurt by this. I hope everyone reaches out to someone around them,

Sign this petition to tell the Senators you support the Violence Against Women Act. It's not just violence against women. It's violence against you.

The Global Union

Laura Flanders spoke about the need for the president to assert and ameliorate it's place in the "global union" this morning on MSNBC.

A global union would require for civilians in this country to give up their prejudices and to start thinking about the Global Unit, for the sake of the individual. Right wing ideology states that the individual is responsible for his self, well what if humans just naturally care better for others?

What in your past has shown you that selfish is a come hither quality? I understand the need for self-preservation, even further, self-sufficiency, but what about when that's just not an option?

Human interaction is part of the fiber of life. It is with each other, that we succeed. When a pop star makes it big, it is only because of fans who purchase the star's offerings. When a journalist succeed, it is only because of citizens who read the journalist's writing. Without the readers, what differentiates the writer from the lunatic? I would make the same analogy for politicians, but I don't think very much differentiates the lunatic from many of our elected officials (I'm looking at you Michelle Bachmann, Mitch McConnell)

(R) Governor Tom Corbett - Pennsylvania

Also discussed on MHP was Tom Corbett, the Pennsylvania Governor who refused medicaid support on behalf of 4.2 million people.

Pay attention public officials: Public Office is not there to soothe your ego. (I'm looking at you John McCain. I'm looking at you Republican senators)

You are elected into public office for the people, by the people and when you stop serving the people who put you where you are, for it takes all kinds, make no mistake, to elect anyone anywhere. If you think you're above your fellow man, it will not go unnoticed.

John Boehner, I'm looking at you and I'm saying, if you do not learn a little bit about policy and theory you have absolutely no business being where you are. It's a shame. It's a shame. It's a damn shame.
