Hi, everybody, so much to report on! I saw many of you at our recent FDC and wanna start by commenting on the reports from the 3 deans of our FL dental schools. I found UF & NSU to be programs that are stable and advancing in very positive directions. I also found LECOM to be the biggest snow job and papering over I've ever heard from any program. There was so much wrong with the things, Dr. Gotlieb told us it made me and every other colleague I asked feel that they had some "splaining to do", something the format did not allow time for. So, in the interest of brevity, I'm attaching a piece I sent TFDA and want them to publish in the next issue, especially since most FDA members don't get this blog.

Now to the SCOTUStution. This week the SCOTUS decided that 9 unelected, lifetime nominees have the power to supplant our Constitution, alter language in any law they deem "ambiguous" and negate the majority votes of any state they consider too backward, along with the rights of said states to determine their destiny. I realize it's not their job to protect us from bad legislation or ignorant voters. But Obamacare was passed by one party, pulling every stunt and chicanery possible. Chief Justice Roberts has turned out to be an unapologetic tyrant who's seen fit to save this highly unpopular law twice, something unprecedented in our nation's history. Thank you G.W. Bush, you moron! For those who might be cheering this abuse of power and accusing me of sour grapes, remember this. A future GOP Pres. can load the SC with true conservatives, not stealth progressives like Roberts and Kennedy. It may not be too long before Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg either croaks or becomes incoherent and Brier could be in ALF Pampers faster than you can say "screw we the people". Then that court can be just as activist and go after things like Roe Vs. Wade or other liberal darlings of law. If and when that happens, the Left will be shrieking in protest and turn out their mostly unemployed voter base to clog our streets and mob shopping centers. As for the gay "marriage" decision, this issue is not about what it claims. If a same sex couple wants to redefine an institution that exists between 1 man & 1 woman, to feel like they're receiving equal status, so be it. Even traditional marriage, by its true definition, has taken a real beating in our increasingly self serving, irresponsible culture of nano second attention span and zero commitment. So, what's my problem with this movement? It's the fact they don't really believe in inclusion or tolerance. When the LGBT Gestapo or their sycophant news media show up to a Muslim bakery, tailor, caterer, photographer, florist, wedding planner or reception hall and do the same ambush interview they did to the Christian pizzeria in IN, I'll give them credibility. When a CEO or other executive can say they believe marriage to be the union of 1 man + 1 woman and isn't fired, I'll declare the LGBT movement to have the same tolerance they lecture us about 24/7. But the far Left is never content to debate or have a real discussion on facts or merits. They cry tolerance but offer none to those who disagree with their views. Imagine if we ran our HOD that way? I realize all of us (myself included) have gay friends, colleagues, pts. and relatives, most of whom do not support militance. Speaking for myself, I've always felt I can have these types of discussions with any of them without it getting extreme, threatening or vindictive. I hope that never changes.
So, what am I referring to by Rama Lama...? It's the so called "holy month" of Ramadan. This period is so sacred and dear to its followers that they've been reminded by their clerics to make sure they kill as many infidels as possible during Rama Lama Ding Dong. No doubt this will earn them a seat closer to Allah and maybe even younger, hotter virgins to defile in paradise. The bonus points coupon clippers wasted little time, they've already pulled off attacks at a Tunisian beach resort, Kuwaiti mosque and French oil facility.

I'm sorry to sound like I'm blaming the victims, but why the hell would any European vacation in the Middle East, are they insane?! The mosque attack is yet another example of the "religion of peace", so peaceful they blow each other up in a manner not unlike Baptists blowing up a Catholic mass. Both of these mass atrocities were the work of Obama's famous J.V., aka ISIS. But he doesn't care and won't say much, let alone do much. Obama's made it clear his plan is to run out the clock and let the next Pres. deal with this, as well as all the other piles of dung he's created. The USA cannot be the world's police, to be fair, and nations like Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia & Jordan are gonna have to form a coalition and exterminate this vermin, or forever live in fear. It remains to be seen if they can overcome their own dysfunction, corruption and cowardice in the face of a truly vicious enemy. The third incident may be smaller in body count but a clear shot at American oil interests abroad and a reminder no European should hire Muslim employees. Let's end with Dixie.
The mindless barbarism of Dylann Roof was nothing but what we'd expect from racist, ignorant, hate-filled white trash. I only hope he gets a swift execution, he certainly deserves it and SC will comply. Our govt. loves to talk about gun laws, gun control and background checks, none of which apply here. But they've only prosecuted 44 of 48,000 people who illegally tried to buy a gun. Talk is cheap but action is absent!

If the govt. really wants to deter some of these cases where stupid parents arm dangerous kids, they need to pass (and ENFORCE) laws that incarcerate any parent who buys a firearm for a child that would otherwise be denied that purchase. This kid had a drug arrest, the Sandy Hook shooter was a nutjob on psych meds. At least his mother paid for her sins the hard way. The Dixie angle here is that the GOP, in its usual display of spinelessness, fell all over itself to remove the Confederate flag from any public place and even any merchandise. I guess that flag was not a symbol of racism and hatred until the other day? I wonder how many low info Americans even know it was the Democrat Southerners who owned slaves, started the KKK and put Jim Crow "laws" into use across the former confederate states? The SC Confederate flag was placed there by then Gov. (later Sen.) Hollings, (D) SC in 1962. The Russell Sen. Bldg. many of us visit when we travel to the Washington Leadership Conference was named for the racist, anti-civil rights Sen. Richard Russell (D) GA. Bill Clinton's 'god' & mentor, Sen. J. Wm. Fulbright (D) AR, was also part of this group of old crackers who supported segregation and opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which gave Blacks many rights previously denied to them. You'll never see or hear this on the liberal media, and the cowardly GOP says nothing, even allowing themselves to be blamed for this church murder. This is the same GOP that has bent over at every opportunity and done all they can to snatch defeat from the jaws of the landslide victory we gave them last Nov. As things stand right now, they could easily lose back the Sen. and WH in 2016.
I'll end with some hypocrisy exposure. If the Dixie Flag has inspired so much hatred and violence, that it warrants complete removal, what about the Islamic crescent and mosques? Both have inspired and radicalized or even facilitated the planning and execution of countless acts of terror worldwide, resulting in 1000s of deaths, tortures and mutilations. So, when will politicians and the media call for removing all Muslim symbols and places?
