I just laughed so hard that I banged my leg against the table next to me and knocked my Mizrahi hamsa ornament off it. I can’t decide if this is creepy, slightly ironic, or the universe’s way of telling me I’m being a Nazi.

I just think the graphic in the corner of that screen shot would more accurately read, “Fecal Point”.

Oh hey, remember last year when that North Carolina pastor suggested putting all the gays and lesbians behind an electrical fence until they die off? There’s your irony.

  8. A North Carolina bill would require a two-year waiting period for a divorce with required counseling and makes no exception for cases of domestic violence or abuse

    abaldwin360:

    A national domestic violence expert says a proposal to require a two-year waiting period for a divorce in North Carolina would put women in even more danger of abuse.

    Kim Gandy leads the National Network to End Domestic Violence. She spoke at a news conference for the left-leaning group NC Women United, which held its biannual advocacy day Tuesday. 

    Gandy singled out Senate Bill 518, the “Healthy Marriages Act,” filed by Sen. Austin Allran, R-Catawba. 

    The bill would require a two-year waiting period for a divorce, with required counseling on conflict resolution and communication skills. Additional counseling would be required if there are children involved in the relationship.

    The proposal makes no exception for cases of domestic violence or abuse.

  9. Fox's Megyn Kelly wants to know why gay activists are so intolerant, so she asks an expert, the head of the anti-gay hate group the Family Research Council

    Seems fair and balanced to me.

    Hmmmm … I wonder why gay activists are intolerant of people who want to deny rights to them.

    I swear Fox News is bizzaro land.

  10. "I find it really ironic how people are really panicked about how to explain gay marriage to their children… and these are typically religious people. They don’t seem to have a problem explaining hell or Jesus’ horrific death on a cross. So if you can explain crucifixion to a small child, I think you can probably explain two people loving each other."

  11. Archbishop: Support marriage equality? No Eucharist for you!

    goodreasonnews:

    Catholic Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron of Detroit said on Sunday that Catholics who support gay marriage yet take the sacrament of Communion are contradicting themselves, echoing recent calls from a religious scholar for supporters of gay marriage to withdraw from taking the Eucharist.

    According to the Detroit Free Press, Archbishop Vigneron said that Catholics who support gay marriage “deny the revelation Christ entrusted to the church.”

    Oh, it’s just another example of the Catholic Church bullying its members into submission to conformity. “Agree with oppression and marginalization or else you’re not allowed to partake in the thing that we taught you an all-powerful god insists you partake in!”

  13. How Ben Carson Got Burned By The Fox News Flame

    abaldwin360:

    (Media Matters) - When political novices fly too close to the Fox News flame, they risk getting burned. Just ask Dr. Ben Carson.

    After profiting from a Fox News public relations blitz for much of the past two months, during which he logged at least twenty appearances on the network, the famous neurosurgeon, who has been toasted inside right-wing circles as a possible GOP savior, has suddenly been forced to defend his “trainwreck” interview where helikened  marriage equality supporters to people advocating pedophilia and bestiality. 

    […]

     not only did Carson badly stumble with his shocking comments about marriage equality, but as we’ve seen from this predictable model, he’s also been turned into a professional victim by the right-wing media, whose practitioners like nothing better than ignoring substantive debates in order to complain about alleged biases in the press coverage. (All the while being careful not to actually repeat or explain what Carson’s scandalous remarks were, of course.)

    Cue Rush Limbaugh:

    -“We are in the midst of mob rule now. In this case led by the trolls at Media Matters and aided and abetted by the so-called mainstream media.”

    -“Amidst all this talk of equality, Ben Carson is not allowed to voice his opinion.”

    And from excitable Breitbart editor John Nolte:

    Any one notice a pattern here? I’ll give you a hint, when is the only time the right-wing talking heads seem to care about racism or sexism?

    I also love how these guys like to act like they are being victimized whenever there’s backlash against something hateful or bigoted they’ve said.

    No one stopped him from voicing his opinion, he voiced it, and a lot of people thought it was a shitty opinion. That’s the way the grown up world works.
