Mental Midgets Protesting Connecticut's Durham Fair

The insane asylum has once again opened its ludicrous mouth and as blathering idiots are wont to do, they are proving themselves one sandwich short of a picnic.  

Each September the town of Durham, Connecticut celebrates The Durham Fair.  Like other fairs there are rides, contests, food, music, more food, animals, tractor pulls and even more food.  

This year, one of the country music bands asked to play on Sunday is the "Confederate Railroad" band.  One of their best hits is "A Bible and a Ticket Home"...

Lyrics:     

Being a normally regular Durham Fair attendee (I did not attend the fair when they decided to exhibit elephants which have zero to do with New England agriculture) I got an email this morning that is circulating around Connecticut trying to get sane people to side with the lobotomy gang in protesting the Durham Fair and this country band because...I'm sure you already guessed it...the word "confederate" is in their band name and its logo shows the historic Confederate States of America's flag- oh the horror!  Hide your eyes!

Here is the email:

This idiot seems to believe that listening to a country band with the word "confederate" in their name and a historic logo might make "our children, you yourself, neighbors and community members" feel unsafe and not welcome.  I am more concerned with this idiot being near children and the horrid influence he/she/they would have on impressionable minds.  

I have to wonder if this person/s has ever attended the Durham Fair, if they had, they would already know that Confederate flags, t-shirts, wallets with Confederate flags on them, key chains, bandanna's and other novelty items have been sold for years at the Durham Fair.

God save us from people so fragile and weak that the word "Confederate" in a Southern country band has them trembling in their boots and crying over people potentially feeling 'unwelcome' at a country fair that has a country band playing music and singing songs about having a Bible and ticket home.  Terrifying stuff! 

Good God what is wrong with you people?  Get OVER YOURSELVES! 

The Confederate States of America (and their flag) in the 1860's is part of our nation's history- deal with it!

This is a country fair...country music will be there.  

If the word "Confederate" has you so concerned DON'T GO.  DON'T LISTEN.  Hide under your lily livered yellow belly liberal beds and don't go to the Durham Fair, the rest of us need the extra parking anyway. 

God save the idiots from their own idiocy and give me the patience I clearly need when dealing with these lunatics.  

On a happier note... most people are not falling for the nonsense and are supporting the Durham Fair's choice in inviting the Confederate Railroad to play...

Good for them!  



In Christ,

Julie @ Connecticut Catholic Corner

2015 Synod- Cardinal against Cardinal fighting heresy in the Church

Thanks to Creative Minority Report for the heads up on this video.

Witnessing this happening...is truly frightening. I pray for our GOOD Cardinals and Bishops and priests to keep the Faith and fight for the Faith.  May our Lord strengthen them and Our Lady protect them.


In Christ,

Say #AllLivesMatter and get black response "hell will be too good for you"

So #IBelieveBlackLivesMatter is/was trending on Twitter.  

My response to this trending hashtag was a reminder that even slave owners on plantations believed "black lives matter" to their $$$... and a reminder that all lives matter, including those inside the womb.

For that I am told "hell will be too good for you". [more on that below]

When I mention #AllLivesMatter is a Catholic teaching...

...I am attacked by a black Catholic woman and told...

...glad to see the Church's teaching about all lives being valuable and worth saving has been taught to this Catholic woman. 

Some people just LIKE being angry for the sake of anger.  How much more this black Catholic woman could be doing for her race if she directed that at one of her true enemies...the abortion industry who doesn't think #BlackLivesMatter.  The abortion industry wants to wipe out black lives! 

Planned Parenthood's entire existence is based on killing and eradicating minority races and the "imperfect" of the world.  

THAT should be something to be angry about.  


In Christ,

Iguana in Connecticut needs help

So this isn't my typical post.  It isn't about anything Catholic.

It's about an iguana that was apparently dumped by its owner or escaped its home and is now living at Hubbard Park in Meriden, Ct. 

I have called just about everyone in the state and even sent emails to local news media about this little guy or gal, but so far no one wants to help catch him/her. 

Even the Humane Society isn't interested!

This iguana has been here for better than three months since my daughter first noticed him back in June.  He/she will not survive the cold weather that will soon be here. 

So on that note, I am reaching out to my readers, especially those here in Connecticut to get the word out.  If you know anyone who can help this iguana - or catch him/her please pass this on.  

According to the City of Meriden, anyone is free to attempt to catch him and take him home.  He is not the property of the park and they will not care for him/her. 

Please pass this on to your friends in Connecticut, share it on Facebook and get the word out. 

Someone out there must be able to help.  

Thank you.

God bless.

In Christ,


Julie @ Connecticut Catholic Corner

I wish Mel Gibson had done it...

...the continuing story of Jesus Christ after he was placed in the tomb. 

The movie is "Risen"...

Whatever you think of Mel Gibson, his "The Passion of the Christ" movie was spectacular...at least in my opinion. I wish Gibson had done this movie and continued the story.  This looks good...but I just don't know if it will hold up to "The Passion of the Christ". 

More about "Risen" here: http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/mark-judge/risen-next-passion-christ 



In Christ,
