An Incredible Article By Bill Moyers About Today's Holy War In America
I can’t say enough about this article, and its call to true Christians to reject the regligious zealots, and turn America away from becoming a theocracy.

How To Call The Police
George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things. He phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?” and he said “no”.
Read moreThree Duke Students Get Into New Orleans and Rescue Some People, While Gov't Says It Couldn't Get In
A trio of Duke University sophomores say they drove to New Orleans late last week, posed as journalists to slip inside the hurricane-soaked city twice, and evacuated seven people who weren’t receiving help from authorities.
Read moreKatrina Victims To Blame for Their Problems…Of Course
Here is a report of your Federal Government’s response to Hurricane Katina and the flooding of New Orleans on Wednesday — two days into the crisis. No one in charge. How scary is that? The biggest disaster on our shores in a century, and our government’s leaders were AWOL. Our President’s deer-in-the-headlights reaction to the 9/11 attacks was no fluke. For all his tough talk, the man simply does not know what to do when things go really, really wrong.

If you keep up with some of the comments left on my blog, you will find that “Sadam Hussein” has been leaving comments on the blog (at least its who he claims to be). I guess they’re giving him computer access from his cell. He’s wondering why I haven’t been posting much lately.
Read moreQueers Blamed for New Orleans Destruction
Well, I guess it was just a matter of time before gay people were blamed by the wingnuts for the destruction of New Orleans by Katrina. “Repent America” now has an article on their website blaming it all on the fact that New Orleans welcomed sin. An organization of Christian fundamentalists, Repent America claims the destruction brought on by Hurricane Katrina is God’s judgment against New Orleans for holding festivals like the Southern Decadence party.

Cindy Sheehan was on Bill Maher’s show last night. When Maher asked her jokingly that if she didn’t get satisfaction from George Bush, would she go over his head to Cheney or Rumsfeld, she replied:

The chief wingnut himself, Pat Robertson, is now calling on the U.S. Government to assasinate the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.
Read moreGary Bauer's Doublespeak on Right to Life
In a Washington Post Op/Ed piece, Gary Bauer, president of American Values and chairman of Campaign for Working Families, has gone after Republican Senata Majority Leader Bill Frist over Frist’s change of heart to support federal funding for stem cell research. In typical wingnut fashion, Bauer basis his attack on the right wing’s “pro-life” belief. However, it appears to me that the right wing is interested only in protecting “unborn” life, and could give a good goddamned about the rest of us who are already living and breathing.
Read more30 Years for Beating Three Year Old to Death
You will recall I posted about this story previously. A man apparently decided that his three year old son might be turning out gay, so he decided, just as suggested by Jame Dobson in a recent parenting newsletter, that he could cure his son by “rough housing” with him.
Read moreHomophobic Pastor Bears False Witness (Just a little)
“Lesbianism is about to take over our community. I’m talking about young girls. My son in high school last year tried to go to the prom. He said, ‘Dad, I ain’t got nobody to take to the prom because all the girls in my class are gay.” Guess what? This man of the cloth is breaking Commandment #9: “Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness.”
