Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – AU blog post “Texas Theocrat Says Voting For Trump Is OK Because God Has ‘A Different Standard’”

Amazing the excuses that some Christians will use. "David Barton, the Religious Right’s favorite phony historian, is trying to sell his base on voting for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. But where most of Barton’s allies have resorted to pumping up Trump by dumping on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, Barton acknowledges Trump’s flaws – … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – AU blog post “Texas Theocrat Says Voting For Trump Is OK Because God Has ‘A Different Standard’” →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – American “values” and Trump’s usual idiocy

"We should only admit in this country those who share our values and respect our people.  Trump added, "The time is overdue to develop a new screening test." (all quotes from this site). And he has no idea what this screening test would be.   How does one tell if someone is simply lying?   I'm guessing … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – American “values” and Trump’s usual idiocy →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – be nice

a rather awesome video (not safe for work for language) that has been around but we just encountered it and thought it needed to be spread a little further.  Always good to have a metal message about freedom and human rights especially when the US is flirting with such stupidity as we are now.   … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – be nice →

What the Boss Likes – Reason Rally 2016

We are back from the Reason Rally 2016 which was June 4th.    The weather wasn't looking to promising as we drove down from Harrisburg, low clouds and drizzle, and I was dreading another repeat of 2012.  But once we got there the sky lifted with high clouds, and later in the day, the sun peaked out. … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Reason Rally 2016 →

Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Reason Rally, and thanks, Ray, for showing that your god doesn’t exist

(welcome folks who have followed the link from John Branyan's post.  May I direct you to his comment about his audience?) We're going to the Reason Rally in DC this year.   I'm hoping for much nicer weather than last time, where it was quite wet.   No ark needed though.  It looks to be a good … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Reason Rally, and thanks, Ray, for showing that your god doesn’t exist →

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 – breaking an oath

It seems that the Republicans in the Senate only want to pay attention to the US Constitution when convenient for them.  To refuse to accept a nominee from the US President just because they don't like it is very unconstitutional.  They are refusing do to the job they swore to do.  It's pretty damn amusing when they do … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – breaking an oath →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: an excellent essay on why a new atheist has come to the correct conclusion, written by a TrueChristian

A Christian that I have had a chance to cross swords with, Lyle Duell, has written one of the best essays on why a new atheist has made the right decision.  This is, of course, rather inadvertently on his part, or at least I suspect so.  Once upon a time, one could comment on Mr. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: an excellent essay on why a new atheist has come to the correct conclusion, written by a TrueChristian →

Not So Polite Conversation – when deities have a hard time of it

The Christian god has had a rough couple of weeks in here in the US. Its hand picked candidates who were told that they would win the presidency have dropped out, leaving more handpicked ones behind. Santorum, Huckabee, Fiorina, etc were such fantastic examples of lying Christians, I’m sorry to see them leave. And, then, … Continue reading Not So Polite Conversation – when deities have a hard time of it →
