PAX Centurion - March / April 2013

Page 14 • PAX CENTURION • March/April 2013 617-989-BPPA (2772) The Pax lives, the cop-hating Phoenix dies… and good riddance! A s many of you are now aware, the Boston Phoenix , the premier choice of literary material for those seeking dates from “Exotic Asian Escorts” (how racist and sexist!), erotic phone calls from pathetic losers at $3.95 per minute, ( I do them for free!) or bedding material for the homeless, is now out of business. Apparently, their advertising revenue was inadequate to satisfy their bloated staff and salaries, even though they appeared to have a bounty of pretentious-yuppie restaurant ads and assorted goods and services geared to to the liberal elite and fraudulent pho- nies who comprise the “1%” that the Phoenix pretended to abhor. Normally, being a union member, I would lament the loss of anyone’s job. But in this case, I can’t help but gloat, and I readily admit it. Cutting right to the chase, the editorialists and writers for the Phoenix , since its inception in 1970, have displayed nothing but contempt for police officers, and deserve nothing but contempt in return. No matter the issue, no matter the incident, the Phoenix always aligned itself against the po- lice officer and on the side of those who trashed law enforcement and decent, civil society. They supported violent anti-military protesters (our veteran officers from the 1970’s will attest to the treatment they received from the alleged “peaceful people with flowers in their hair”), and earned their money from depraved, sexist, racist filth in their advertis- ing which degraded the women they allegedly supported, and they most recently supported the “Occupiers”: those marvelous “1%’s” who destroyed public property, conducted illegal protest marches during the height of rush hour to the dismay of actual working people, and cost millions of dollars in police overtime. (Ahhh, for that, we thank you…) One of their writers, Chris Faraone, made the BPPA and Boston Police Officers his particular target. Chris never once con- tacted the Pax to see if there might be another side to his already- biased opinion; he simply wrote whatever he decided was the truth, the facts be damned. His mission was obviously and solely to trash police officers. Therefore, he shall be given no quarter in this publication. We readily admit that the Pax Centurion is 100% biased in favor of police officers, and make no bones about it. Mr. Faraone, and his like-minded comrades-in arms at the Boston Globe, however, still pretend that they are real journalists, arbiters of the truth and deciders of fact. I do not know whether Mr. Fara- one is one of those radical-chic, anti-authoritarian journalists who “occupies” his parent’s basement or his friend’s attic in his quest to “fight the power, man.” Or perhaps he is one of those frauds who pretend to be the “champions of the working man” while retiring to his rooftop condo in Cambridge or his villa in New- ton. But I do know that neither he nor his friends in the “Occupy” movement represent the “99%”. They are, in fact, the “1%’ers”, those who cause nothing but trouble for the actual working class. I am in possession of two marvelous photos of one of the alleged By James Carnell, Pax Editor “Occupiers”. In one of the photos, Little Miss Muffet is marching down the street, screaming about injustice and police brutality. In the next photo, she is seen in an equestrian contest jumping over barricades at some privileged, swank club in a wealthy suburb. Such utter, complete and total hypocrisy… Mr. Faraone and his Phoenix phonies were fond of accusing everyone else of racism and sexism in order to cow the opposition into meek silence, and unfortunately, they were often successful. Ironically, they made their living off of racist, sexist, filth adver- tising which denigrated women from minority cultures (“Asian cuties”, “Latin-American Hotties”, etc.). Mr. Faraone referred to yours truly in his December 14 th Phoenix screed ( “Still battling the BPPA”) as a “Caucasian Asshole.” (Ahm…Mr. Faraone… I am not, nor have I have ever identified myself as a “Caucasian”… I know not what that term represents… It sounds like a bad pair of shoes (George Carlin’s line, I know) … the Caucasus Mountains, according to my geographical sources, lie between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea on the ill-defined border between Europe and Asia. Neither I nor my ances- tors have ever visited the region, nor do we wish to, for a variety of sanitary reasons. (It would be so much more appreciated if you would refer to me as a “ pendejo celtico” , as that would more appropriately capture the magnanimity of my ancestral origins.) I wonder, however, if Mr. Faraone would have so cavalierly used a similarly racist term if he knew I was black or Hispanic or Asian? Think so? Neither do I…. See, that’s the thing with phony liberals like Chris. They accuse everyone else of what they’re guilty of. They claim to want “toler- ance,” but they are actually the most intolerant people you’ll ever meet. And even as the Phoenix railed about “injustice and support for the working man,” guess what… owner Stephen Mindich (wife of former Judge Maria Lopez, need I say more?...) accord- ing to published reports – he laid off all his employees without even severance pay! What a hypocrite! Oh, sure, they loved to join in a conga-line dance with those who perceive themselves to be oppressed, the self-professed members of victim-nation, the downtrodden, the tired, the poor, the huddled masses yearning to be free, the wretched refuse of our teeming shores ( Hey… wait a minute… I might have the beginnings of a good poem here, screw you Emile Lazarus, I thought of it first…) . When it comes right down to it, the Phoenix was all about $$$ MONEY $$$! And I thought you people were opposed to capitalism? Good riddance, Boston Phoenix. The Pax lives, and you die. That is because your bottom line, as the “1%’s”, despite how much you deny it, is always about money, while the Pax will continue to be printed by and for our members whether we sell an ad or not. Let me know if you need a job, Chris. Not that I’ll get you one, but just let me know. I always like a good laugh…. See, that’s the thing with phony liberals like Chris. They accuse everyone else of what they’re guilty of. They claim to want “tolerance,” but they are actually the most intolerant people you’ll ever meet.
