Not Polite Dinner Conversation –Some fun with 1 Corinthians!

(yes, the entire blogosphere seems to be doing a post about Huckabee on The Daily show.  It gives me a reason to address specific parts of the bible, so I’m getting my own licks in)   Jon Stewart of The Daily Show did an excellent job at showing how Mike Huckabee is quite a liar or simply … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation –Some fun with 1 Corinthians!

Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Anyone remember Robertson’s claims about God telling him who will be president?

Well, I didn't get one of my prophecies right.  Obama won pretty handily.  However, I hit it on the nose about the claims of TrueChristians about how the end times are a comin!  Franklin Graham, following right in the footsteps of his failed prophet father Billy, has this to say: "I want to warn America: … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Anyone remember Robertson’s claims about God telling him who will be president?

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Excuses Excuses

A sigh of relief on this end.  At least a little reprieve from lunatics who want to have a theocracy.  We can take more steps on keeping the US a beacon of freedom and equality for *all*, not a self-chosen few.  Now, Obama, you've done a lot but you still have more to do. Close … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Excuses Excuses

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billy Graham, political shill

Blog posts about this are a dime a dozen, but I wanted to document that the Harrisburg paper has hopefully the last screed by a scared old man who  wants to play pretend that he and only he knows what his imaginary friend wants.  Billy Graham, anti-semite and self-annointed prophet (he was sure that by … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billy Graham, political shill

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Corbett still desperately looking for voter fraud, recruiting citizens to report on their neighbors

And when you don't think that politicians in Pennsylvania could get any worse, they suprise you again. Now, we have a website, courtsey of Governor Corbett and Secretary Aichele, that encourages you to report your neighbors if you think that they are committing voter fraud. Yes, since Corbett has been shown wrong repeatedly in his support of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Corbett still desperately looking for voter fraud, recruiting citizens to report on their neighbors

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Mistakes” about which day to vote

Recently, there's been a rash of the wrong information being put on voter documents that tell people when to vote.   The date "mistakenly" put on would *always* make people too late to vote.  http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/18/us/arizona-spanish-election-ballot/index.html http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2012/10/democrats_blast_ottawa_county.html Why is there never a time where the wrong date is days ahead of the actually voting day?  If these … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Mistakes” about which day to vote

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Think of the children!” only when convenient

The supporters of "family values" strike again!  The latest hypocrisy here in Pennsylvania is perpetrated by Representatives of *both* parties, sadly enough.  Rep. RoseMarie Swanger(R), Rep. Thomas Caltagirone (D), Rep. Mark Gillen(R), Rep. Keith Gillespie(R), Rep. Adam Harris(R), Rep.Mike Tobash(R), have all decided that women won't get more help from welfare for an additional baby over a certain number *unless* she can prove … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Think of the children!” only when convenient

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s about the social issues and it’s about theocracy

This time it’s about social issues.    Many people say that the election is about the economy.   In my opinion it isn’t.  Not this time.  This time it’s about the social issues and about losing not only 50+ years of progress but a thousand years if radical conservatives get into power.  The radical conservatives, the theocrats … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s about the social issues and it’s about theocracy

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Halloween or when the TrueChristians™ come out of the woodwork

When I was growing up, my favorite holiday was Halloween.  I liked Thanksgiving for the ability to eat as much starch (can you say stuffing, potatoes and homemade noodles all at once?) as I wanted without being scolded and I liked Christmas because I got prezzies, but both were generally miserable otherwise since I don’t … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Halloween or when the TrueChristians™ come out of the woodwork

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – PA Rep. Babette Josephs and the Pledge of Allegiance

Not sure how I missed this story.  State Representative Babette Josephs (D-Philadelphia) was asked to lead the Pledge of Allegiance in the state house.  She refused, saying ""Based on my First Amendment rights and based on the fact that I really think it's a prayer, I don't pray in public." Well, if she's Christian, she has … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – PA Rep. Babette Josephs and the Pledge of Allegiance
