“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

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Free speech here in PA restricted because God will be offended. Yep, Metcalfe is at it again.
Well, there are more amazing attempt to make Pennsylvania a theocracy. Thanks to a friend of mine bringing this to my attention, we now can report on Christians wanting to block free speech because their god will feel bad. Not much of a god if us puny humans can bother a supposedly omniscient, omnipotent and … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Free speech here in PA restricted because God will be offended. Yep, Metcalfe is at it again.
Not Polite Dinner Conversation – On the front of forcing personal religion onto others, we have a couple of stories in the news
A political figure has cracked down on alcohol consumption and the media. A political figure has decided that he and he alone will determine if a woman can have an abortion paid for by Medicaid, a man who has no medical education at all and who will be deciding based on his personal opinion. More … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – On the front of forcing personal religion onto others, we have a couple of stories in the news
Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Pulpit Freedom Sunday is back and I’m glad!
This coming Sunday is “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” where some Christians have decreed a day where they can speak their minds about various issues from the pulpit and thus from a position of authority. And indeed, I am glad that they have made it so easy to watch just how Christians don’t agree on much of … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Pulpit Freedom Sunday is back and I’m glad!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Prayers have failed: Bachmann is out and our own local wannabee theocrat, plus the Pope
Seeing Michele Bachmann deliberately lying on TV makes me feel all warm and cozy inside. Few things should do more to show how religion doesn't make a person a decent, humane, human being, and it sure doesn’t keep them from breaking every rule in their very own religion. Like so many politicians who get caught … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Prayers have failed: Bachmann is out and our own local wannabee theocrat, plus the Pope
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – More intentional lies from TrueChristians who are also state legislators here in Pennsylvania, also known as “nothing is new”
Being the excellent examples of how religion makes no one a better person, we now have Pennsylvania legislators introducing yet another useless House Resolution full of intentional lies in their continued attempts to play pretend that their version of Christianity is the state religion of the United States. This resolution is HR 306 and unsurprisingly, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – More intentional lies from TrueChristians who are also state legislators here in Pennsylvania, also known as “nothing is new”
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s spring and the PA legislator lies are in bloom!
It’s that time of year again, when trees are blooming and legislators give a sop to their constituents, trying to make believe that their version of Christianity is the state religion of Pennsylvania and the US. Last year it was the nonsense about the “Year of the Bible”, which I posted about here, and here, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – It’s spring and the PA legislator lies are in bloom!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Mr. Roberts, what do *you* think the SCOTUS is for?
Why does it seem that Chief Justice Roberts has no idea how US government works? It seems a sudden fit of ignorance brought on by fear. During the Supreme Court hearings recently about gay marriage, we get this choice quote from Chief Justice Roberts: “If he has made a determination that executing the law (DOMA) … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Mr. Roberts, what do *you* think the SCOTUS is for?
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Agenda 21 and the Americans who think the UN is coming to take their women…or something…
(while we’re waiting for Mr. Rogers to show how wrong I am, I thought I'd return to a more political bent) In my line of work, I’ve come upon the “UN is evil, with black helicopters” crowd. People in central PA (and all over the US), are *sure* that the UN is going to take … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Agenda 21 and the Americans who think the UN is coming to take their women…or something…
