Down Syndrome & Prenatal Testing


I want to thank this blog for the chance to be a guest blogger! I regularly blog over at Got Down Syndrome and was invited over here to do a guest blog post.

My wonderful little brother is 6 ½ years old and he happens to have Down Syndrome (DS). Because of him, I keep up to date with the latest happenings in everything that involves DS.

One recent development is a new, non-invasive prenatal test for detecting Down Syndrome. This test developed by Sequenom is called MaterniT21. This test is a blood test (blood test for the mother) which is used to detect the baby’s DNA in the mother’s blood. The accuracy of this new test is 98.6%-99.1%. 

I have no problem with a company developing a prenatal test for Down syndrome, if the sole purpose is to better the lives of the unborn child with Down Syndrome. But, unfortunately, research shows that 92% of women who are given a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome choose to abort their baby with DS. 

This is largely due to the fact that most professionals – obstetricians, gynecologists, geneticists, counselors, etc – do not give accurate information about Down Syndrome. As with our family, when we were told that my brother had Down Syndrome (after he was born), we were given very outdated information about DS. And we were told all these things that he would not do or would do at a very late time. 

That wasn’t the truth. That wasn’t reality. 

So why do most professionals do this? There is an overwhelming amount of information on the internet, in families, from Down Syndrome associations, etc that shows what people with Down Syndrome can do. And what families can do to help their children with Down Syndrome. 

It’s very sad to me that so many people would choose abortion when they find out their child has Down Syndrome, instead of trying to find out what they could do to help their child. Thankfully there are some families who choose to keep their baby with Down Syndrome when they are given the prenatal diagnosis, but they are the exception. And that’s not the way it should be. It should be the norm for people to keep their babies with Down Syndrome.

There is so much you can do to help children with Down Syndrome. When we were given such a grim, dark diagnosis, we decided to set out and find out all we could to help my brother. It took a lot of time and research, but our research has paid off. God has blessed my brother tremendously and he is doing very well. He exceeded and completely bypassed all the dark predictions we were told when he was born. One thing we were able to find out about was targeted nutritional intervention for Down Syndrome. That helped my brother tremendously and it changed his life

Because of this passion of wanting to see less babies with Down Syndrome aborted and more families be given accurate information, we put together a 600 page book compiled with information from all sorts of doctors, therapists, professionals, families, etc to show what you can do. The book is rightly named, Down Syndrome: What You CAN Do. You can view a 15 page preview, as well as order the book at http://stores.lulu.com/gotdownsyndrome

I want to thank this blog for the chance to share some of our story, in the hopes that more awareness about Down Syndrome will be raised. After all, October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month!

SlutWalk Tampa

SlutWalk Tampa? What'chu talkin bout Willis?



The girl in the video above is Teagan Laurel Alexander. Teagan is smart, strong and brave. And I salute her. I had never heard of SlutWalk before I saw this video. I guess I have been living under a rock or something. SlutWalk is this big international thing that takes place in cities around the world. In Canada ,across America , in London and in India.




The SlutWalk protests are to say that the kinds of cloths they women wear, are not the cause or justification for rape. But don't we know this already? Unless you are an idiot , scumbag or just evil you already know this. This is just fact and not a big debate issue .

I have nothing but love and support for Teagan and others taking part in the SlutWalk protests. But I am not sure what you are fighting for. The right to wear whatever you want to wear? You already have that right. The right to not live in fear? If you do not want to live in fear you have to put fear into the rapist. And I do not think SlutWalk is going to do that.

In every war there is a turning point. A point where people can look back and say, this was it, this is where things started to change. Maybe I am wrong about this. But 20 years from now, I do not think people will look back and say SlutWalk was a big turning point.

Please don't hate me. I just don't think SlutWalk will have a permanent long lasting impact. Do you know what does have a permanent long lasting impact? Death, there is nothing more permanent than death. These SlutWalk protests like hundreds of other protests will come and go. And will be forgotten about a few months later. But the fact that if you rape someone you might be killed. People will not forget that.

I think in America we have more people in prison than any other nation. The fact is that a lot of people don't care about going to jail. Some spend their whole life in and out of prison. Many times when someone gets raped or a child gets molested. It turns out that the person has done this before.

It should be mandatory life in prison or the death penalty for rapists and child molesters.

In the military , you can get the death penalty for rape. But no one in the military has been given the death penalty for rape in over 40 years I think. Six states used to have the death penalty for the rape of a child. But in 2008 in a 5-4 Ruling the Supreme Court said this was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court also said some other stuff that was total BS.

After a review of the "history of the death penalty for this and other non homicide crimes, current state statutes and new enactments ... we conclude there is a national consensus against capital punishment for the crime of child rape," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote.

I think the Supreme Court got this one wrong. I think most people would support an amendment to the constitution, to give the death penalty for rape.

SlutWalk Denver speaker is journalist Pamela White

Sarah Palin is Defying Gravity




This is the best Sarah Palin fan video I have seen so far. I think the video was made by Katie DiFrancesco

Katie Difrancesco's profile on Team Sarah



I just saw this video today but it was made back in Nov. Defying Gravity is the perfect song for Sarah Palin. I used a different version of the song in my article called Sarah Palin is a Genius.


Since we are on the subject of videos. I have a YouTube channel where I showcase great music videos. No political stuff just music videos.

Woman Cuts her Kids' Throats: Harold Camping Rapture Prediction

Because of Harold Camping's Rapture / Judgement Day Prediction. Last Friday 47 year old Lyn Benedetto tried to kill herself and her two daughters. She told her daughters to lie on a bed and proceeded to take a knife to their throats and the herself. A family friend found theme in time and called 911. All there are alive. The kids are OK and the mother is in jail. In a statement to police the mother said,the Tribulation was going to occur and she wanted to prevent her kids from suffering through it.

This was the second Rapture / Judgement Day Prediction that Harold Camping has made. Years ago he said the world would end in 1994. Harold Camping is supposed to make a statement Monday or Tuesday.






IN RELATED NEWS

Julianne McCrery, 42, was arrested for killing her son. At this point there is speculation that she killed her son because of Harold Camping's Rapture Prediction.  I have to point out that it is only speculation at this time, I do think think there has been any official statements released yet. McCrery had a youtube channel with videos of her son. As of  now it is still online, but it might be taken offline later. Here is the link

Sunday Night Anti-Obama Protest: Israel Will not Commit Suicide

Israel did not just say no to Obama they said HELL NO



Sunday Night Anti-Obama Protest: Israel Will not Commit Suicide

by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

The “My Israel” movement is staging a rally opposite the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv Sunday evening under the banner “Israel will not commit suicide,” referring to the 1949-67 “Auschwitz borders” that U.S. President Barack Obama wants to impose on Israel.

Demonstrators will wear nooses around their necks to symbolize their opposition to shrinking Israel to what Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said are ”indefensible borders" for the sake of creating a Palestinian Authority country in its place.

The protest also is the first ‘Facebook protest” in which people can participate online.

'My Israel' official Ayelet Shaked told Israel National News, “Prime Minister Netanyahu presented clear opposition to Obama’s borders but needs support from the people. We want to strengthen him and show him that the people are behind him.”

She also said that no one has adequately explained to President Obama that the idea of five million foreign Arabs flooding Israel, as demanded by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, has unified all of Israel against the proposal.

“The unprecedented demand by President Obama to grant a country to Hamas, one of the supporters of Bin Laden at the same time Obama ordered him to be killed, is equivalent to asking Israel to commit suicide,” Shaked said.

“Millions of foreign Arabs would be placed in Kfar Saba [in the northern metropolitan Tel Aviv region]. Along with surrendering areas near Ben Gurion Airport, missiles would fall on the entire central region."

She declared that Obama’s proposal should not be presented to any country and "certainly not to a friend like Israel.”

Shaked concluded, “There are those who support concessions and there are those who do not, but Israelis have absolutely made it known that no one is prepared to commit suicide.”

Sarah Palin Is A Genius





Let's talk about the G.O.P  , Genius of Palin.

Twitter Account = zero dollars
Facebook Account = zero dollars
Being the most powerful person in politics while chilling at her home in Alaska = priceless 
Sarah Palin may have already won the Republican Presidential race for 2012. She might have won the race by not being in it. Waiting as long as possible to join the race is a genius move. She could show up at the last minute and win the big game without breaking a sweat. Why waste time and money when you could just sit on the sidelines and watch your opponents self destruct.

No need for Sarah Palin to go up against Newt Gingrich.  Newt Gingrich has been in self destruct mode for the past week. Having to apologize to Paul Ryan and other stuff. Newt Gingrich is his own worst enemy. And now with this stuff coming out about Arnold Schwarzenegger and Mildred Patricia Baena. It's going to put a bigger spotlight on the fact that Newt Gingrich cheated on his first and second wife. Newt Gingrich makes John Edwards look like a good guy.

The only person who does not know it's over for Mitt Romney is Mitt Romney. The speech he gave on Romney Care was a self destruct moment. If you take that and add his flip flops on abortion. You can put a fork in Mitt Romney because he is done. But Mitt Romney is very rich and delusional. So he might stay in the race for as long as he can.

Herman Cain the pizza guy. Can he deliver for you in 30 minutes or less? I don't know because he has never won an election in his life. He has lost an election before in his home state of Georgia, but have never won an election. So I think it is a little odd for some to think the first election Herman Cain will win is a presidential election. Herman Cain supporters say he is a great business man. Wall Street is full of great business men who would sell their own mother for a buck. There is a lot of buzz about Herman Cain. People like the way he talks. The guy has been a talk show host for the past couple of years. Of course he is good at talking about stuff. Obama won an election because he was good at talking about stuff, you see how well that worked out. Cain has some big names like Erick Erickson and Neal Boortz supporting him. These are all anti Sarah Palin people. Most people have not even heard of Herman Cain before. To think that a nobody could build up enough support to defeat Obama is insane.

For the past couple of months the so called political experts have been saying Sarah Palin needs to get in the race now. Saying that she needs to be at CPAC or this debate or that debate. Saying that she needs time to build up support and raise money. They are all wrong. The only thing Sarah Palin has to do is show up and ask for the republican nomination. Yes she got it like that.

So what does Sarah Palin bring to the table. Everything and I do mean everything.

Jewish Voters: When it comes to Jewish voters no one is comes even close to Sarah Palin. United States relations with Israel are the worst they have every been. Sarah Palin is the only one who can fix things.

Catholic Voters: Catholic pro life groups were more involved in the last presidential election than ever before. Even some Catholic priest were speaking out against Obama. I see Sarah Palin as the clear choice for them.

Evangelical Christian Voters: I don't see Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich coming even close to Sarah Palin. Evangelical Christian voters are sort of big on the 10 commandments. Newt Gingrich broke number 7 twice.

Latino Voters: By her self Sarah Palin does better with Latino voter that most republicans. With help from people like Marco Rubio and others she could pick up at lot of Latino voters. Something no one else in the republican presidential race can do.

Female Voters: In case you haven't noticed Sarah Palin is a woman.

Gay and Lesbian Conservative Voters: While so many others were boycotting CPAC because of GOProud. Sarah Palin stood up for their right to be there.


The Godfather Equation: Herman Cain might be the Godfather of pizza. But Sarah Palin is the Godfather of politics. Many have won elections because they got the Sarah Palin seal of approval.

The Sarah Palin Network: Everyone else has to run around from talk show to talk show and beg for air time, but not Sarah Palin. She can post statement on Facebook or video online. And within minutes every news outlet on earth is replaying it and talking about it. Yes she got it like that.

Sarah Palin's Alaska:  The show was a genius idea. You can only tell so much about a person from a speech or interview. Seeing her mom, dad, brother and seeing how much the people of Alaska love her. The woman who named her son Palin, this all made me like her even more.  And if she runs I am sure a lot of people will be buying the dvd to take a look at it.

According to the Art of war
Every battle is won or lost before it is ever fought.- quote by Sun Tzu

In his article  called A Conservative's Case for Sarah Palin's Genius this is what Tony Lee said about Sarah Palin.

I think liberals and those in the mainstream media fear her. Sure, they openly say she has no chance of beating President Obama - if she even runs, that is; but, inside, they must fear that she could very well beat President Obama in a one-on-one match-up.

Friday the 13th Killing Spree

On Friday the 13th many shows got canceled.

NBC kills, The Event,Law & Order: Los Angeles, Outsourced.
ABC kills ,Brothers & Sisters, V, No Ordinary Family, Detroit 1-8-7, Off the Map,Mr. Sunshine.

A few days ago Fox canceled,Lie To Me,The Chicago Code,Human Target,Traffic Light, and Breaking In.

OK lets start with Fox. The Chicago Code and Breaking In, will hurt to see these 2 shows go. There is one report that says Fox might be changing it mind about Breaking In, and might bring it back. I hope so. The Chicago Code was an excellent drama ,Jennifer Beals and the rest of the cast were great. I hope another network picks it up. It was time for Lie To Me to go. The show did not have any real direction. But I love Kelli Williams, well watch anything she is end. In a perfect world another network would pick up The Chicago Code and add Kelli Williams to the cast. Not sure what to say about Human Target, maybe it was time for the show to go. Most of the new shows coming to Fox sound like they are going to suck. Exit Strategy sounds like it might be good. After she was such a big hit on 24 as Renee Walker. I thought we would be seeing Annie Wersching in her own show on Fox. Still waiting for that to happen. Annie Wersching was in the pilot for Partners, but ABC said Friday that it would not pick up the show.

OK now ABC. Season 1 and 2 of V was just awful.  The season final of V was good. Everyone happy about the death of Tyler. I do not think there has ever been so much joy in the death of a person on a show. It looked like the show was going in a new direction. But I guess it was too little too late. No Ordinary Family, happy that it is gone. Never saw Brothers & Sisters, but everyone says it was a good show. I never saw Detroit 1-8-7, Off the Map,Mr. Sunshine.


OK now NBC. Was so much in love with The Event when it first started , but not so much now. It just moved along too slowly not enough information. Chase was always good. Hate to see it go. NBC should have gave Chase a second season. I don't watch any of the other shows on NBC.

Assassination of Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin


Sarah Palin should receive immediate Secret Service Protection if she runs for President.

       Jesse Jackson got early Secret Service protection when he ran for President. Obama asked for and got early Secret Service protection  in the last election. They should do the same for Sarah Palin.  Do I think there is a great risk to her life? Yes I do. I used to worry about it a little. But now I worry about it a lot.  Top people in the Democratic Party and the media  were quick to call Palin a racist during the last election.  And that planted the seeds of hate into the minds of a lot of people.  Then again after the shooting in Tucson, they said Palin was responsible. And the threats to Palin went though the roof. Sarah Palin had to increase protection for her and her family.  The people who tried to blame Sarah Palin for the shootings in Tucson were idiots.  Some of them were idiots.  I think some were intentionally trying to provoke violence against Sarah Palin.



''But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech."-Dr.Martin Luther King

       In May Sarah Palin was supposed to speak at an event by the Sharon K. Pacheco Foundation. But the Foundation canceled the event due to safety concerns. In a press release they said "Due to an onslaught of personal attacks against Gov. Palin and others associated with her appearance, it is with deep sadness and disappointment that, in the best interest of all, we cancel the event for safety concerns,".

           Just like Dr. King, Sarah Palin just wants to do God's will. This is not the Promised Land that Dr. King spoke of. This is not the Dream he had. The treatment of Sarah Palin is a dishonor to the Legacy  of Dr. King.

  There is no question or debate about it. Sarah Palin should get early Secret Service protection if she runs. And even if she does not run. The government need to do more to investigate these threats.


Dr.Martin Luther King's “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech-

And they were telling me, now it doesn't matter now. It really doesn't matter what happens now. I left Atlanta this morning, and as we got started on the plane, there were six of us, the pilot said over the public address system, "We are sorry for the delay, but we have Dr. Martin Luther King on the plane. And to be sure that all of the bags were checked, and to be sure that nothing would be wrong with the plane, we had to check out everything carefully. And we've had the plane protected and guarded all night."

And then I got to Memphis. And some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers?

Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.
