Obama’s Pro-Breast Cancer Policies?

Joseph — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 02:22:23 +0000

President Obama recently announced that he plans to change some crappy Bush-era policies allowing doctors and pharmacists to refuse care to female patients who need contraceptives or want to terminate their unwanted pregnancies.

Anti-choice nutjobs are, of course, pissed off. But this time they are taking a new approach. Instead of their normal accusations that The President supports killing babies, they are accusing him of giving women breast cancer. Seriously.

According to Karen Malec, president of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer (and noted wingnut):

Basic medical texts acknowledge that women can help prevent breast cancer by having more [...]

Good Luck Mr. Blackwell

Joseph — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 03:29:03 +0000

The next RNC chairman will be elected tomorrow and I really, really, really hope it’s Ken Blackwell.

According to Ken he deserves to be chairman because “he has more than 4,000 friends on Facebook and owns seven guns.”

Well hot damn, that’s good enough for me.

He also has the endorsement of every religious extremist in the party and a win for Blackwell will almost guarantee years of internal strife for the Republicans as they move further to the right and further away from the average voter.

Best of luck Mr. Blackwell! We’re all rooting for you.

Dick Land’s Sour Grapes

Joseph — Thu, 22 May 2008 16:05:42 +0000

A group of Christian leaders recently put together a document called “An Evangelical Manifesto” in which they condemn Christians on the right (and left) for using faith to push their own personal, political agendas.

People like Phil Burress, Richard Land and James Dobson – the worst offenders of politicizing faith – were not invited to participate in the process.

Funny thing happened today though. The Florida Baptist Witness published an opinion piece written by Land called Why I am not signing the ‘Evangelical Manifesto’ in which he claims:

As I grow more mature in years I am more and [...]

Business Community Supporting Anti-Discrimination Bill

Joseph — Mon, 12 May 2008 20:51:49 +0000

Hearings on Senate Bill 305 start tomorrow.

The goal of the bill is to prevent discriminatory practices on the basis of “sexual orientation”.

Besides the normal cast of characters coming out for and against this bill- we also have, for the first time I can remember, the business community getting involved.

Big Ohio companies like Cardinal Health, Cleveland Clinic and Nationwide Insurance are finally doing the right thing by publicly supporting this legislation…

Unfair practices are bad for business and bad for Ohio’s economy. Top Ohio employers like Nationwide Insurance say that Ohio’s intolerance harms their ability to [...]

Tony Perkins Whines About CNN Compassion Forum

Joseph — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:09:39 +0000

Tony Perkins is pissed because someone decided to host a religious event without inviting him. Boo hoo.

CNN’s “Compassion Forum”, held this past Sunday, allowed both Democratic candidates to answer questions about their faith that, thankfully, didn’t come from Christofascist asshats like Perkins.

As a result, the forum focused on issues that real Christians should care about. Things like poverty, human rights and the worldwide AIDS crisis.

According to Perkins, these are not the issues closest to Christians’ hearts.

Instead, Tony claims that: “our priority as Christians should be as those of the Founding Fathers; protect the sanctity of [...]

Easter Bunny as Antichrist: Proof Through Anagrams

Joseph — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 21:48:46 +0000

With Easter quickly approaching, I was really starting to expect some ‘War on Easter’ articles and posts from the bible-thumping right. It’s pretty pretty quiet though. Until today.

That’s when I came across this article in the Christian-themed Citizen USA newspaper about that dangerous false prophet: The Easter Bunny.

In it the author warns us to keep ‘fanciful characters’ like the Easter Bunny far away from our children because such characters ‘threaten their faith in the true and living God.’

The problem is: kids, like all people, want to believe in stuff. And it’s dangerous to let them [...]

Hate mail sent to a vegan blog

Brian — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 23:50:52 +0000

I wish I was making this up. I’m not. This is a hate email the author of a vegan blog received.

You people are going to ruin your little daughter and make her burn in hell like the two of you. You think you are clever and so does the devil. Only God has the answer for you. God or G. Bush.

Apparently being vegan is against God. Oh, and God and Dubya are indistinguishable.

Wow.

Catholic League’s Bill Donahue… secularist?

Brian — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 21:16:09 +0000

On of the guys who bleats loudest about the “War on Christmas” (other than Bill-O, of course) is Bill Donahue of the Catholic League. He’s now criticizing Huck for injecting too much religion into politics, specifically about his latest television advert.

Donahue, the president of the Catholic League and an ardent defender of Christmas in what he believes is a secular “war” against the holiday, told hosts of the Fox and Friends morning program that the ad had gone too far.

“The whole idea is to give the appearance of a cross,” he said, “and this is just [...]

Pat Robertson Endorses Rudy Guiliani?!

Amber — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 15:13:10 +0000

Will pigs fly next?

Okay, I have to quickly say that I live in Virginia and our Democratic party had a great night last night – we took back control of the state senate, again emphasizing that Virginia is not really a “red” state.

Back to the subject of this post…seriously, Pat Robertson is endorsing Rudy Guiliani? What happened to all his “preaching” against gay marriage, abortion rights, etc.? Looks to me as though the thought of Hillary Clinton as president is making Robertson crazy. I guess he’s looking anywhere for someone who might be able to beat her [...]
