WOMAN CUTS BABY OUT OF HIS MOTHER'S WOMB, TRIES TO PASS IT OFF AS HER OWN

33-year-old Annette Morales-Rodriguez from Wisconsin couldn't have kids, but her boyfriend wanted a son badly. She felt like she had to do whatever it took to get him a baby boy so he wouldn't he leave her.

Rodriguez stalked and hunted for a woman who was far enough in her pregnancy to deliver immediately. She spent two weeks constantly driving by this non-profit organization that provides health care services to Hispanics. That's where she found 23-year-old Maritza Ramirez-Cruz.

Somehow, Rodriguez was able to get Cruz into her car by offering her a ride home. During that ride, Rodriguez told Cruz that she needed to stop by her house to change shoes. When they got there, Rodriguez invited her in to use the bathroom. When Cruz came out of the bathroom, Rodriguez hit Cruz in the head with a baseball bat and strangled her until she passed out. She then used an Exacto knife to cut the baby out of her stomach and hid the body in the basement.

Afterwards, Rodriguez rubbed the blood on her thighs so it looked like she had just given birth. She then called 911 and told the operator that she had just given birth and that the child wasn't responding. EMTs declared that the baby was dead.

The medical examiner's report said that the child had been removed from someone's womb by force, and that the mother's uterus and ovaries were still attached to the baby.

Rodriguez was taken in for a medical evaluation to see if she had recently given birth. At the hospital, Rodriguez - get this - went to the bathroom and scraped the inside of her vagina until she bled. Doctors determined that Rodriguez didn't recently give birth even though she tried to make it look as though she had.

Rodriguez confessed to the murder after hearing the examiner's report and said she saw a Cesarean being performed on the Discovery Channel, and tried to do the same.

Rodriguez was charged with murder and is being held without bond.

NOT SPARING THE ROD: PASTOR, BROTHER AND SEVERAL CHURCH MEMBERS CHARGED WITH CHILD ABUSE

The 8-year-old who got pepper-sprayed by the cops for "losing it" at school deserves a spanking. The 6-year-old who brought a gun to school deserves a spanking. Millions of "terrible toddlers" who fall out in the mall or grocery store because they can't get what they want also need a spanking. But what do you think about spanking a 2-month-old baby for crying? While I think spanking an infant for crying is over the top, pastor Philip B. Caminiti at the Aleitheia Bible Church in Wisconsin thinks it's okay.

The Dane County Sheriff's office said the pastor and seven members have been charged with using wooden rods to spank infants as young as 2 months old for "being emotional, grumpy or crying". Wooden rods? Are you serious? They claimed to be following the bible when it said "spare the rod, spoil the child" when they used rods 12-18 inches long as as wide as a quarter to hit the children with.

According to church members, pastor Caminiti would instruct parents on how to use rods to spank children's buttocks. He stated he "likes the immediacy of spanking" and "pain is a good way to teach children." The complaint also states Philip said: "If you spank early and it is done right, then kids will be happy and obedient." Punishments would often occur during worship services when children would start crying or fail to sit still. Merry Hahn, a former church member told authorities, "Phil was very strict about children being quiet during church," the complaint states. The parent "was told to hold the baby tight and say, 'No' very loudly close to the ear. If the baby did not quiet down, the parent removed the child to a bedroom, which was usually close enough to the living room where you could hear the dowel hitting the baby." Here's the story:

The head pastor of a Black Earth church and his brother have been charged with a total of 12 counts of child abuse, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday in Dane County Circuit Court. Philip Caminiti, 53, head pastor and elder at Aleitheia Bible Church, and his brother, John Caminiti, 45, also of Black Earth, allegedly hit the backsides of children with rods and dowels. The alleged victims are children in the Caminitis' family and other children whose families are part of the church. "If you spank early and it is done right, then kids will be happy and obedient," Philip Caminiti told investigators. He also admitted to instructing parents within the church - which holds services and meetings at his and another member's home - to hit their children on the bare buttocks with a rod because there's a large amount of flesh there.
He told investigators he likes the immediacy of spanking and the Bible says a rod should be used.
Philip Caminiti faces up to 6 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine, or both, for each of the eight counts, which range from June 2006 to November 2010. John Caminiti told investigators in November he uses a rod or dowel on his two youngest children at home or at church and the scriptures make it clear his behavior is allowed. He said he does not allow his family to communicate with people outside his religious beliefs and has punished his wife and son by shunning, or confining them to their rooms to have no contact with other family members, until they corrected their disobedience. For each of his four counts of party of a crime of mental harm to a child, he faces up to 12½ years in prison and up to a $25,000 fine, or both. The penalties for each of his four counts of intentional child abuse are the same as his brother's.
It's amazing to me how people process information. I've always wondered how after a church service or city-council meeting, so many people can have different takes on what was just said.  Recently when there was a threat to shut down the government, I couldn't believe how many people said it was because the government didn't want women to have free health services anymore.

As far as this situation goes, I don't know if this is the case of a pastor with a problem processing information from the bible, or a case of another psycho with a license to preach.  

UNIONS AND PENSIONS WILL BE A THING OF THE PAST (part one)

It's no secret that I don't like labor unions, and in case you missed it, I had the chance to hit a striking union member with my car. So when Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker proposed a bill that would reduce the bargaining power of labor unions. I was slightly pleased. You can make this a partisan issue if you want, but this is damn-near common sense. There's just no use for unions anymore.

There are laws in place now that protect employees on many levels. I don't have to tell you that a company can't deny employment to a handicapped person on paper. A company can't not hire a person because of the color of their skin on paper. A company can't discriminate against you because of your religion or sexual preference. We have the unions to thank for that. The only thing unions are any good for nowadays is wage negotiation, and the Governor was spot-on for recognizing that.

Since the Governor's decision, protests have sprouted all over the country. It's nice to see people exercising their right to free assembly, but it shows how superficial Americans are. People around the world are protesting for their freedom and here we are over here crying over money. These are the very same slackers that do the bare minimum to keep their jobs. They take days off and get fake doctor notices like we can't see them on television.

I used to work for a company delivering windows and doors in the 90's. This was a non-union job that paid every Friday. We we're judged on our merit and our work spoke for us. There was no annual wage increase or cost of living increases. And I did just fine, getting 2 raises a year for the 4 years I was there. When I got my first government job, it was union.  We got paid every two weeks, we paid dues every pay period, but it seemed like there were too many ways for people to get paid without working. And I know I should have been supervisor sooner.  There were people working in the same records room for 20 years with no desire to move up. We got our annual raises, but I was doing things veterans needed authorization to do. That's when I realized that the unions protected slackers. They're not forced to churn out max production, and as long as they don't physically hurt someone, they had a job. Hell, even if they did, all they had to do was cry EAP.

From the government's point of view, if you're not producing you need to find another job. I'm not trying to pay you more than you're worth, I'm not trying to pay you after I fire you, I shouldn't feel forced to supply your medical insurance (especially if my business isn't a medical insurance provider) and I shouldn't feel forced to pay you after you retire. And I've always wondered about pensions and such. How dare we think we should get paid to do nothing.  People don't want taxes to be raised, but they don't want their pensions to be taxed either.  All around us, stuff is falling apart.  I wonder if the protesters remember that we're in a recession?  Soon, the dollar is going to be worth as much as a band-aid that won't stick anymore.  They need to act like it and be happy that they have a job.  This social revolution is far from over, and I predict an infusion of socialism as time goes on.  At least until the one-world government is established.
