What the Boss Likes – the October 18 No Kings rally

Just thought I'd share some pictures. the Crowd, which got larger during the two hours the rally was for. It was between 3500-4000 people. The Pennsylvania Capitol is a very pretty building. I wanted to go in an inflateable suit, a la the Portland frog, but that didn't get to me in time. So here's … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – the October 18 No Kings rally

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yep, the maga failures are indeed weird, hypocrites, and idiots

Here in PA, the orange rapist was speaking. Thanks to Pennlive, there are all sorts of pictures to show just how pathetic trump supporters are.it seems that someone has quite the daddy, or "uncle", issues: This ignorant woman has the index card on her ear, decorated with the typical lies of these failures. Curious how … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yep, the maga failures are indeed weird, hypocrites, and idiots

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Well, we got the truth on what some Chrisitans really want -A theocracy and a war.

This morning I read The Friendly Atheist’s (aka Hemat Mehta) post on Patheos: “WA Lawmaker Attends Fundraiser for Liberty, a Proposed 51st State for Christians”   Of course these idiots think that they can just take other people’s land, up in the northwest US and that the US Constitution will allow this.   That won’t happen. Now, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Well, we got the truth on what some Chrisitans really want -A theocracy and a war.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cause and Effect – exhorting violence leads to violence

Well, this has been quite a week here in the US. We have had a conservative sending bombs to famous liberals from his van plastered with all of the hate that Trump has spouted, and then we have had a conservative shooting up a synagogue here in Pennsylvania. I went to college in Pittsburgh for … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cause and Effect – exhorting violence leads to violence

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – screw your courage to the sticking place!

The goats won, barely.   And it is a reason to be angry.  However, it is also reason to be resolved, because it won’t last long.   In six months, half of those who voted for Trump will have buyer’s remorse; indeed Trump will have it himself when he realizes that being president isn’t being dictator. He … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – screw your courage to the sticking place!

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – insisting on apologies for telling the truth

There’s an op-ed by Christine Flowers, a conservative Catholic with a problem. She isn’t happy that her religion is presented in a less than favorable light by some emails that are supposedly from the Clinton campaign, released by Wikileaks. She demands that Ms. Clinton apologize for what one of her staffers said. Let’s see how … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – insisting on apologies for telling the truth

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and one more instance of Christians telling just a little lie, Franklin Graham

Franklin Graham,  the son of Billy Graham, famous American Christian evangelist, was in Harrisburg today.   It was part of his tour insisting that one needs to pray for America.  He didn't endorse a candidate, but it's not hard to know who he wants to win, mostly because he has said it himself despites the claims … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – and one more instance of Christians telling just a little lie, Franklin Graham

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – beating back the theocrats again, Pennsylvania

Here, in my lovely home state of Pennsylvania, the PA House of Representatives has been sued by some residents for not allowing a secular e.g. non-theist based invocation before the body. The suit, brought by Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, American Atheists, and members of various local groups here in PA, is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – beating back the theocrats again, Pennsylvania

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Here we go again in PA, TrueChristians hiding behind nationalism

In their ritual of showing off how virtuous they are, some PA representatives are trying to again force their version of their religion on others in HB 1640, aka "National Motto Display Act".  The sponsoring representative is Chris Dush (such a name, miserable to grow up with and certainly appropriate now).   The rest of the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Here we go again in PA, TrueChristians hiding behind nationalism

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yep, one more abuse scandal – here in PA

Unsurprisingly, we have yet ONE MORE investigation that shows that the Roman Catholic Church has aided and abetted the rape and abuse of children. This is now in the diocese about an hour’s drive from the state capitol Harrisburg. There are many excuses given for the church, that it isn’t at fault. The church has … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – yep, one more abuse scandal – here in PA
