Posted on 05/16/13 at 01:33 pm in response to Bachmann, Tea Party rally against IRS disclosures

But, just exactly where were all these "patriots" when other groups were being treated this way and worse by the Bush/Cheney administration after September 11, 2013 or when the IRS was scrutinizing a collection of liberal groups and individuals under "conservative" presidents?

We either have a constitutional democracy or we don't. If some of our "conservative" friends believe the rules can be freely abused without any problem in the case of people they don't like, while believing...

Posted on 05/16/13 at 07:16 pm in response to Meet the Alaskans poised to become 'America's first climate refugees'

That the people affected first and most by global climate change will be those LEAST responsible for it and possessing the fewest resources to combat it.

Of course the climate change deniers, and the scientifically moronic, ignoramus Tea Party, "conservative" Republican fossil fuel shills will do their very best to make sure we ignore all those who are being affected, and provide NO help for them because doing so would go against the lies they're trying so hard to sell us.

That "business climate" rankings, especially those from "conservative" sources,...

represent POLITICAL HACKERY at its worst.

There is simply NO connection between the claims of such reports and on-the-ground reality.

I'm convinced that the ideal "conservative" business climate would be where businesses have,...

Will come as the result of global climate change whose effect, though already on the way, have yet to hit the fan as the proverbial excremental aphorism describes.

But if you're interested in figures regarding how many children will die because we move toward alternative energy, I'm sure the Center for the American Experiment will be more than happy to supply you with those figures,...

Posted on 05/15/13 at 07:53 am in response to Dayton signs marriage-equality law on Capitol steps

For all of those of us who trust that God has created our GLBT brothers and sisters the way God intended them to be, this is a no brainer. Indeed, their joy at the legalization of same-gender marriage is OUR joy!

But there are those who, like the "prodigal son's" brother, refuse to share in the joy of those who are being welcomed home into society.

For those who have been raised to believe that God is so sick and twisted as to create an entire group of people who, if they...

Posted on 05/14/13 at 01:27 pm in response to Same-sex marriage: And today it'll be law

The problem Mr. Westrom, et al, have with gender neutral language is based on the way gender stereotypes were pounded into their hearts and minds by the people who raised them.

The more someone has had to ignore the way God made them in order to shoehorn themselves into what their families, communities, clergy, etc., thought of as "normal,"...

Posted on 05/14/13 at 01:30 pm in response to Same-sex marriage: And today it'll be law

To oppose polygamy as opposed to monogamy (regardless of gender).

It is, however, interesting to note that the Hebrew Testament of the Bible contains a rather large and glaring amount of polygamy.

As we see with other notable examples,...

do not make the best evaluators or American society, economics, education, or birth certificates.

As has already been said, the GRAD test did NOT accomplish the purposes for which it was designed.

The math portion, which had not yet been fully implemented could probably not have been passed by the vast majority of adults in the state except those working daily in science and technology fields,...

and even some of them,...

Posted on 05/10/13 at 09:54 am in response to Reports detail Minnesota's historic gay-marriage vote

That when the national civil rights bills were passed, they (in the terms used by NOM) classified the vast majority of people in the southern states as "bigots," too.

Somehow, that did not stand in the way of the REAL issue involved: JUSTICE for those who had been previously been denied just treatment by their fellow human beings.

Over the years that followed, some of those people have come to see their black brothers and sisters as fellow human beings, some of them have not....
