Children Who Are Spanked Have Lower IQs
In THIS STORY by Jeanna Bryner she says:
"All parents want smart children," said study researcher Murray Straus of the University of New Hampshire. "This research shows that avoiding spanking and correcting misbehavior in other ways can help that happen."
One might ask, however, whether children who are spanked tend to come from backgrounds in which education opportunities are less or inherited intelligence lower.
OK, this lady needs to stay at home and make samiches. I mean, first of all, how many parents are scared to death to hit their child these days anyway! Verbal beatings are just as bad as physical beatings, yet there's no mention of that.
Anyhow, if you're anywhere near my age you experienced beatings like there's no tomorrow. Today, if a kid calls his Mother a biotch, Jonathan, you stop that now, shame on you. Back in the 1960's, WHACK! Bet you never called your Mother a biotch again! Oh, how stupid of us. See Mom, it's all your fault.
What was crime like back in the 1960's versus today? I guess if you live a pampered life you're sure to have a much higher IQ. See what happens when you give a voice to a bunch of liberals.
All I can tell you is, the Eastern Shore must have had a TON of registered voters who had the crap beat out of them because they sure did vote for a bunch of winners as their elected officials.

GOVERNOR MARTIN O’MALLEY HOSTS ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION WITH NATION’S ‘DRUG CZAR’
ANNAPOLIS, MD (September 25, 2009) – Governor Martin O’Malley today hosted a roundtable discussion with the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Gil Kerlikowske, traditionally known as the nation’s “Drug Czar,” along with House Speaker Michael Busch, members of law enforcement, youth, and community leader stakeholders to discuss the current drug control strategy and its effectiveness at every level of government, including what can be done to improve it. The roundtable is part of a six city tour by Kerlikowske around the nation to assess the drug control program and ways to make it more effective for the American people.
“One of the most solemn obligations we have as public servants is to protect and enhance the safety and security of the people we serve, and with federal partners like the Office of National Drug Control Policy, we’re making real progress,” said Governor O’Malley. “It’s my honor to welcome Director Kerlikowske to Annapolis as we speak frankly with those on the front lines of our efforts to combat the harmful impact of drugs on our families and neighborhoods.”
“My 37 years of law enforcement, including nine as Seattle Police Chief, tell me that substance abuse is an issue of public health and safety, as well as one of law enforcement,” said Office of National Drug Control Policy Director Gil Kerlikowske. “This meeting with Governor O’Malley and representatives from the public health and safety communities in Maryland is a positive sign that we are building partnerships needed to develop sound policy that will ultimately reduce drug abuse in Maryland and across the nation.”
Today’s meeting marks the eighth roundtable in the Director’s “listening tour” as he solicits advice and discusses state and local anti-drug programs with treatment providers, law enforcement officials, local elected officials, doctors, researchers and social workers. Other roundtables have been held in Seattle, Washington; El Paso, Texas; Denver, Colorado; New Orleans, Louisiana; Fort Wayne, Indiana; St. Louis, Missouri, and Carbondale, Illinois. These efforts are part of the fact-finding that will help inform the drafting of the Obama Administration’s National Drug Control Strategy, scheduled to be issued in early 2010.
“Governor O’Malley has brought his public safety experience as a big city mayor to state government,” said Speaker Busch. “In Annapolis, because of cooperation at the federal, state and local levels, we have been able to cut violent crime 35 percent. Drug treatment and public safety are inextricably linked and we hope to continue this progress, with our partners in the federal government.”
As Mayor of Baltimore, Governor O’Malley successfully sought a substantial increase of drug treatment funding as part of his commitment to establishing Baltimore as the safest big city in the nation. By the time Governor O’Malley left the City to serve as Governor, the City had received an over 100 percent increase in funding for drug treatment, leading to a drop in drug induced deaths in the City of 32 percent in four years.
As Governor, O’Malley signed an Executive Order that establishes the Maryland Drug and Alcohol Abuse Council, tasked with the identification, development and recommendation of comprehensive systemic improvements in the organization and delivery of drug and alcohol abuse prevention, intervention and treatment services in Maryland.
Governor O’Malley has set an ambitious goal to expand access to substance abuse services in Maryland by 25 percent by 2012. Even during this severe national economic recession, Maryland has committed 11 percent more in funding for drug treatment than four years ago, including an expansion of primary adult care to include substance abuse treatment, expanding buprenorphine treatment for heroine addiction, and expanding utilization of pharmacotherapy including mobile treatment.
Maryland currently has 40 operational drug courts serving approximately 5,000 people and last year, there were over 6,100 methadone treatment slots available in the State. Under the O’Malley-Brown Administration, the State has also increased treatment capacity inside state prisons by nearly 300 percent.
“One of the most solemn obligations we have as public servants is to protect and enhance the safety and security of the people we serve, and with federal partners like the Office of National Drug Control Policy, we’re making real progress,” said Governor O’Malley. “It’s my honor to welcome Director Kerlikowske to Annapolis as we speak frankly with those on the front lines of our efforts to combat the harmful impact of drugs on our families and neighborhoods.”

No Tax Increase Said Somerset Commissioners, Yet Property Taxes See Increase
The County Commissioners of Somerset County this year were teetering on whether or not to reduce the property tax rate. This was coming on the heels of a .10 property tax increase by the city of Princess Anne. Area citizens decided not to take a chance and rallied outside of the County Commissioners meeting. The Commissioners promptly, without discussion, voted for the .02 reduction in the property tax rate.
During the public comments exchange we had a verbal promise by the Commissioners that they would be seeking constant yield for Somerset. Constant yield is the concept that the tax rate adjusts with assessments such that the total amount of money received to the County (or whatever level of govt.) stays the same. If property assessments go up, the tax rate should decrease. As assessments decrease, tax rates should go up.
Unfortunately the State of Maryland controls the assessment rates. There lies the problem of local and county municipalities having the opportunity to take advantage of tax payers as they don’t adjust the tax rate. They claim they are not raising taxes. It’s a back door tax and elected officials are wrong for using a smokescreen.
This is nothing more than the typical tax and spend by local “big government”. With the status of the economy, both nationally and locally, people cannot afford these increased loads on their backs. Tax payers have bills upon bills to pay and are many are trying just to get by.
Remedying the situation requires all taxpayers watch carefully what your local elected officials do and to let the State know that property assessments need to be fair. It does not help anyone when the State gives out unfair assessments to increase revenue. Appealing your assessment is a process that most often results in little or no change to your assessed property value.
Americans for Prosperity Maryland applauds the Somerset Commissioners for helping to stop the bleeding and pledging their support to work towards a fair constant yield rate. Our local chapter in Somerset looks forward to working with the Commissioners to improve Somerset County.

Barack As Christ: Obama Worship Song Adapted From “Jesus Loves The Little Children”
A shocking caveat to the Obama worship video now doing the rounds on the TV news talk shows, first reported by Prison Planet nearly a month ago, is the fact that the lyrics to the song that children of a New Jersey school are forced to sing are clearly adapted from a religious hymn called “Jesus Loves The Little Children,” which is one of the first songs that small children learn in church.
The idea of kids being forced to worship Obama in schools across America is no longer just a chilling example of Maoist style political brainwashing – children are literally being trained to religiously worship Obama via adapted versions of Christian hymns!

Remember What I Said Months Ago About Ghost Towns?
All it takes is a simple drive from here to Annapolis and opening your eyes and you cannot miss the multiple Boat and Auto Dealerships closing their doors as a reality check to America.
All I want you to think about is ALL of the tax revenue these dealerships brought into each community. Now, that being said, while they continue to disappear, where do YOU think all that lost money is going to come from to keep these municipalities afloat?
That's right, it's going to come out of YOUR pocket! So when you have someone as greedy as Barrie Tilghman, Mike Dunn, Gary Comegys, Lynn Cathcart, Shanie Shields and others, THINK very hard the next time you want to watch your community grow. "Growth pays for Growth" is a crock of crap! When "Growth" ends, YOU pay for Growth.
IF any of these big box stores close, Car Dealerships, you name it, once they, (the City, County & State) get used to all that tax money and it disappears, where do they turn to keep up the services? YOU, that's where.
Come to Delmar, DE. where life is so much better! Maryland is like throwing good money after bad money!

Obama, no longer a pain in your grass.
Salisbury Zoo Bear Gets Dental Work After 6 Years Of Being In Pain
Several years ago when my Wife worked at the Salisbury Zoo she was confronted with the new Spectacle Bear having a tooth issue. She consulted with Dr. Tragle about the problem and ultimately made contact with a Dentist in Ocean City who was willing to do the root canal at no cost to the City/Zoo.
They started making final arrangements and then all hell broke loose at the Zoo and ultimately my Wife and Dr. Tragle left and the painful problem rested in the hands of former Zoo Director Jim Rapp.
Now, several years later, the Zoo finally flew in some specialists to do exactly what my Wife had arranged to be done for FREE to the Taxpayers and paid a pretty penny to have this work done. The financial impact from Rapp continues to plague the City as Joel Hamelton, (new Zoo Director) tries to clean up the mess.
One can only imagine just how much pain this Bear experienced for so many years. I'm sure Ron Alessi would scream, but we don't have the facility to do the work. Excuse me Ron but spending $3,000,000.00 on a facility to do a root canal or other surgeries is inexcusable. The ONLY reason the Zoo wants this facility is because the AZA is demanding they do so or they lose their accreditation. BIG DEAL! Besides, I was there when they did the surgery on the Jag years ago. Make shift, yes. Successful, absolutely.
Yeah, you may not want to see a human lying there on a table outdoors getting a root canal done but they had other options, like bringing it to the current animal services building. However, the photo op wouldn't have been the same or the sky is falling impact wouldn't have been so dramatic.
In the mean time, one can only wonder just how many thousands of dollars were spent doing this procedure. If Rapp hadn't had it out so bad for my Wife and Dr. Tragle, how many thousands of dollars would the City have saved? Well, at least, (after 6 years) the Bear is finally out of pain. Isn't it just wonderful how well these people treat the animals at the Zoo! Think about it. Would YOU have left your pet in such pain for so many years?

Democrats Jarred By Drop In Fundraising
WASHINGTON - Democratic political committees have seen a decline in their fundraising fortunes this year, a result of complacency among their rank-and-file donors and a de facto boycott by many of their wealthiest givers, who have been put off by the party's harsh rhetoric about big business.
The trend is a marked reversal from recent history, in which Democrats have erased the GOP's long-standing fundraising advantage. In the first six months of 2009, Democratic campaign committees' receipts have dropped compared with the same period two years earlier.
The vast majority of those declines were accounted for by the absence of large donors who, strategists say, have shut their checkbooks in part because Democrats have heightened their attacks on the conduct of major financial firms and set their sights on rewriting the laws that regulate their behavior.

We can pick up items if there is anything available...If people have toys suiteable they would like to donate we can pick them up also. We can always use wrapping paper, bags and tape. The person to call is Mr. Ayres (Santa) and his phone number is 410 251-7127. Any help would be appreciated. The organization is a 501C3. This man does wonderful work and we try to help him.

Border
Administration Will Cut Border Patrol Deployed on U.S-Mexico Border
Even though the Border Patrol now reports that almost 1,300 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border is not under effective control, and the Department of Justice says that vast stretches of the border are “easily breached,” and the Government Accountability Office has revealed that three persons “linked to terrorism” and 530 aliens from “special interest countries” were intercepted at Border Patrol checkpoints last year, the administration is nonetheless now planning to decrease the number of Border Patrol agents deployed on the U.S.-Mexico border.
A Department of Homeland Security annual performance review updated by the Obama administration on May 7 said the Border Patrol “plans to move several hundred Agents from the Southwest Border to the Northern Border to meet the FY 2010 staffing requirements, with only a small increase in new agents for the Southwest Border in the same year.”
