Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – on this Fourth of July

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has a good post for the Fourth of July, our national holiday here in the US. "On this date in 1776, Thomas Jefferson's "Declaration of Independence" was adopted, after a vote approving it on July 2. Its secular purpose was to "dissolve the political bands," and it inaugurated the anti-biblical … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – on this Fourth of July →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: where we find “religious freedom” meaning no more than fear and bigotry again

Today, our not so very religious but very ignorant president of the US has signed an executive order allowing religious organizations to get more politically active.  I think it is disgusting for all of the pandering by the GOP and the receiption of such pandering by TrueChristians but honestly, it’s a great thing for those … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: where we find “religious freedom” meaning no more than fear and bigotry again →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – They can’t even get egg rolling right

(as an aside, look like I was wrong about North Korea being the first tail to wag the dog in my last post, see postscript). In this atmosphere where the clown Trump and his circus are threatening the world with destruction thanks to their incompetence, one wouldn’t think that a story about the annual White … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – They can’t even get egg rolling right →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – No, many conservatives really are this ignorant

I haven't had a Pennsylvania politician post for a while.  But oh this one deserves it in spades.  Scott Wagner, a Republican (what else?) state representative from the district to the south of me, has said the following about climate change: I haven't been in a science class in a long time, but the earth … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – No, many conservatives really are this ignorant →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Why climate change is a state/church issue

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has an excellent news release on this.  I am a member and I recommend that you be one too. Trump has appointed an active climate change denialist, religionist Scott Pruitt, to head the EPA. The New York Times documents in an article boldly titled "Denialists in Charge" how federal posts are now filled … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Why climate change is a state/church issue →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Not today

This is what happens when you don’t punch Nazis.   Rather than putting up the usual pictures of pits full of starved, shot and tortured people. I thought this was more fitting. The people who were murdered in concentration camps were being harvested. This is what those who support America First wanted to allow to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Not today →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – wannabee theocrats marching in DC today

Today there is a “march for life” in Washington, DC. There are a lot of women there, who insist that they are feminists. There may be some men who also would claim this, since being a feminist isn’t limited by sex. They all declare that they are “for life”, aka against abortion and birth control. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – wannabee theocrats marching in DC today →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “alternative facts” and that tie…

It is no surprise that Trump is having a tantrum over the fact that it was noted that the audience for his inauguration was quite a bit smaller than other inaugurations. He was so taken aback that the truth was told that he dishonored men and women who have died in service to this country … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “alternative facts” and that tie… →
