Under the leadership of Mayor DeBlasio, the Big Apple has been working feverishly to reclaim its crown as America's Cesspool from its numerous West Coast competitors. Recently, the mayor's wife hosted a PC contest called She Built NYC to build a monument to the most influential woman in the city's history. However, the Whacko Left on the panel of judges didn't get the results they'd hoped for. The public nominated a nun, Mother Frances X. Cabrini, for the honor.
The panel overturned the public's decision unilaterally and nominated instead an abortionist and two transvestites to receive the reward. A petition to protest the decision, with further details, can be found here, for those interested.
Mother Cabrini was born in the former nation of Lombardi in 1850. In 1889, she came to New York as part of a missionary team. In 1909, she became a US citizen. Prior to her death shortly before Christmas, 1917, she had founded 67 institutions across the East and Midwest; including orphanages and the former Columbus Hospital System. Interestingly, she died while working at orphanage---making Christmas candy for homeless children---of a sudden illness.
In 1946, Pope Pius canonized Mother Cabrini as a saint; making her the first naturalized American citizen so elevated. New York and Chicago both have streets named for her. In 1996, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame and in 1998 the non-profit Cabrini Foundation was incorporated to carry on her humanitarian work.
And yet---the DeBlasio Administration decided---even against the public---that Mother Cabrini didn't deserve a monument, but sex perverts and baby-killers, did. NYC taxpayers are going to cough up $5 million to the 'artistes' putting up these offensive structures.
Meanwhile, the NFL wasn't lagging behind. They too are having a contest for their upcoming Centennial for the Most Influential NFL Figure of the Century. The now ultra-PC magazine Sports Illustrated named among its candidates, "Sarah Thomas, the first female referee; Lyle Alzado, the first player to admit to using PEDs; and Colin Kaepernick, the man who attacked racial injustice by kneeling down," noted Heavy.com. A dyke, a drug addict, and a millionaire Left-Wing activist: hardly anything symbolizes what the NFL has become more than that.
Convicted felons Michael Vick and OJ Simpson are also on the list; along with girl-beater Ray Rice. Most of the others are 'first female' sportscasters and executives, and the big-money boys who helped turn football from a sport into---well, what it is. At least they managed to devote a passing paragraph to Jim Thorpe, the greatest athlete of the 20th Century who singlehandedly organized football into a professional sport.
The fact that Thorpe was an American Indian, we suppose, kept him from being relegated to the Dead White Male class. The real losers in both these contests, though, are the American people---who've been made to look like international chumps once again by our so-called 'Cultural Elites'.
Shoot, they didn't like religion even when it did good to a needy population? What gives? Once again, they bow down to the arts and shallowness. If you don't want kids, don't have sex. Easy and environmentally friendly.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the Sports Illustrated, yes, they nominated some ding-dongs. However, I think the NFL, despite being a de facto religion, is not worth much of anything, especially after reading Dr. Omalu's book Truth Doesn't Have a Side. In it, he compares NFL games to the gladiatorial combat of ancient Rome (physical brutality for laughs). The average NFL career is only three years long. I think the league should disband, and people should pay attention to those in their vicinity rather than on the screen.
