"The religious right movement has struggled for decades to play a leading role in choosing the Republican Party’s presidential nominee, but this year, social conservatives declared early on, would finally be their year. And yet, after doing everything right and carefully following their specific strategy, the GOP ended up going with a thrice-married adulterous casino … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the legion of doom, Trump has Michele Bachman as part of his spiritual team

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – now just where does it say “you shalt not do your job” in the bible
So... we have an entire bunch of clerks in Tennessee that have resigned their jobs rather than even have a chance of granting a marriage license to someone they don't like, that being folks who want to marry whom they want, and not whom the clerks want them to marry. It's great that other people … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – now just where does it say “you shalt not do your job” in the bible
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – marriage and a lovely example of TrueChristian hysteria
Whoo-hoo, marriage for all! I hope that everyone who chooses to get married is as happy as my husband and I. Rather than reviewing the SCOTUS decisions since others have done a better job than me, I found a typical opinion piece by one of the horrified TrueChristians, or as he puts it “orthodox Christians” … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – marriage and a lovely example of TrueChristian hysteria
A Gay Dad Sounds Off on the Terror Threatening to Be Unleashed on California Families
A Gay Dad Sounds Off on the Terror Threatening to Be Unleashed on California Families. Unsurprisingly, there are still more attempts to legitimize the actions of conservative theists. The Westboro Baptists aren't the only ones that bear watching and confronting by pointing out their actions and showing them for what they are.
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Schadenfreude, tasty, tasty schadenfreude
Considering the name I’ve taken for this blog, it’s no surprise that I enjoy watching people suffer by their reaping the results of their willfully ignorant choices and claims. I like to watch people who insist that they are so pious that no one can question their actions fail in their claims of divine perfection … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Schadenfreude, tasty, tasty schadenfreude
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Did you miss the social anarchy? Cal Thomas and the usual deceit by Christian conservatives
Seems like we have a wealth of less than true comments here in the news from conservative Christians. Here in the US, the Supreme Court has essentially abdicated its responsibility and has left a series of lower court decisions to stand when it comes to the legality of same sex marriage. They have let the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Did you miss the social anarchy? Cal Thomas and the usual deceit by Christian conservatives
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – on the anonymous ad about the same sex marriage decision in the Harrisburg Patriot News
To get myself in the mood for ridiculing bigots, I’m watching Blazing Saddles and The Constitution USA with Peter Sagal as I write this post. On June 22, 2014, there appeared an anonymous advertisement on page A16 of the Harrisburg Patriot News (Harrisburg, PA). It was ostensibly about how “wrong” Judge Jones III was when … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – on the anonymous ad about the same sex marriage decision in the Harrisburg Patriot News
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pennsylvania’s anti-equal marriage rights law struck down; let the whining commence
Finally, a break from work and a chance to kibbitz on the interwebs. Here in the US, we are celebrating Memorial Day, a day to remember those who have fallen in combat during our various wars. It’s also a time for celebrating the summer, even though it isn’t officially summer yet. Everyone wants to grill … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pennsylvania’s anti-equal marriage rights law struck down; let the whining commence
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 2, The lie of “think of the children” Pennsylvania style
Part 1 here. A rather pathetic example of one of those Christians who want to pretend their personal beliefs should be made law is a recent op-ed “Defend marriage, for the kids' sake” (yep, he went there) It was written by Brian McGinley of the Pennsylvania Family Institute, another one of those organizations that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 2, The lie of “think of the children” Pennsylvania style
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Bravo for Pennsylvania AG Kane, Part 1
“We are surprised that the attorney general, contrary to her constitutional duty under the Commonwealth Attorneys Act, has decided not to defend a Pennsylvania statute lawfully enacted by the General Assembly, merely because of her personal beliefs.” – James Schultz, Pennsylvania general counsel It’s so cute when the irony escapes people like Mr. Schultz, Gov. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Bravo for Pennsylvania AG Kane, Part 1
