Just some various thoughts about religion, politics, etc. None were showing promise as a blog post on their own, but I found them interesting enough to gather together. ........... No idea what is going on with the Republican party or its candidates. Trump seems to be doing his best to get attention but to have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a selection of thoughts from the recent news

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pennsylvania legislator at it again – Arizona redux
First, I’m happy that Arizona got rid of the legislation that would have legalized discrimination. Of course, that doesn’t prevent more people from trying the same thing. If you’ve been reading this blog, we often have our state legislators doing something ridiculous when trying to get their versions of their religions into the law. Gordon … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pennsylvania legislator at it again – Arizona redux
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Republicans fall flat on face again, assure women that they only want up in vagina, not to give them fair insurance
Wow, Mike Huckabee is a twit, not that you didn’t know this already. One more Republican who has said that somehow Democrats think women are weak and have uncontrollable libidos and *that’s* why Democrats think they have to provide women birth control coverage in health insurance. Huck has said that Democrats supposedly say “they [women] … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Republicans fall flat on face again, assure women that they only want up in vagina, not to give them fair insurance
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a return from the past, and more TrueChristian nonsense about women, slavery, and predestination plus an announcement
I'm back from vacation. And what do I find? A great comment to do a blog post on. One of the TrueChristians from the past has decided to return to the blog. Ostensibly to see if I was behaving myself. You know, us women can’t be trusted. 🙂 Of course Woody was around in February … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a return from the past, and more TrueChristian nonsense about women, slavery, and predestination plus an announcement
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – When it’s right to stand up, even if no one stood up before
There is much ado in the media and the interwebs lately about saying “This goes no further.” where one challenges the status quo and demands a change and where one gets resistance by those who say “there’s no real problem”. I’m involved, tangentially or directly, in several aspects of this declaration that essentially says “no … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – When it’s right to stand up, even if no one stood up before
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 So Polite Dinner Conversation – a take on a couple of religious columns from the newspaper
Today we have two great columns from The God Squad (can you be a squad if you are only one guy?) and Billy Graham. The arguments are so poor in both that only together do they provide enough fodder for one post. Since I know I have quite a few Christians following my blog, I … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a take on a couple of religious columns from the newspaper
Not Polite Dinner Conversation –Some fun with 1 Corinthians!
(yes, the entire blogosphere seems to be doing a post about Huckabee on The Daily show. It gives me a reason to address specific parts of the bible, so I’m getting my own licks in) Jon Stewart of The Daily Show did an excellent job at showing how Mike Huckabee is quite a liar or simply … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation –Some fun with 1 Corinthians!
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billy Graham, political shill
Blog posts about this are a dime a dozen, but I wanted to document that the Harrisburg paper has hopefully the last screed by a scared old man who wants to play pretend that he and only he knows what his imaginary friend wants. Billy Graham, anti-semite and self-annointed prophet (he was sure that by … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Billy Graham, political shill
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Think of the children!” only when convenient
The supporters of "family values" strike again! The latest hypocrisy here in Pennsylvania is perpetrated by Representatives of *both* parties, sadly enough. Rep. RoseMarie Swanger(R), Rep. Thomas Caltagirone (D), Rep. Mark Gillen(R), Rep. Keith Gillespie(R), Rep. Adam Harris(R), Rep.Mike Tobash(R), have all decided that women won't get more help from welfare for an additional baby over a certain number *unless* she can prove … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “Think of the children!” only when convenient
