Christian Conservatives may have been a better name for this category (or Krazy Kristian Kooks). I realize that the right-wingnuts don’t have to be religious at all, but mostly they are, and if they are crazy right-wingers not related to religion, you’ll find them under the “Crackpots” category.
Famed homophobic bigot and all around sex-obsessed Hillsborough County Commissioner Rhonda Storms has called for a referendum on nudity. I can’t tell if she wants more of it or less, but having seen her ass in a pair of pants…I’m hoping less. In keeping with her past MO, she sprung this on the other Commissioners without warning.
Read moreIt appears that, along with Bill O’Reilly, the Right Wingnut organization, American Family Association is threatening boycotts and complaining because some companies are using “Happy Holidays” in their advertising instead of “Merry Christmas.” If these goof-balls really gave a shit about observing the holiday, the real issue would be forcing these stores to actually close in observance of the holiday so their employees can enjoy one day off each year.
Read moreGet ready for the war of words – this Jewish leader is going to need our support, because he’s right, Hitler DID start with the gays, and the religious right and conservatives in America seem to have taken a page out of the playbook of every effective dictator in the past – slowly use the law to legislate your political opponents, especially minorities, out of existence. You start with their basic human rights, then end up getting rid of them.
Read moreToday, I used the Target, “Contact us” link to send the following message: I am very sorry to learn that Target is electing to allow radical and extreme religious wingnuts ruin your reputation. I am, of course, referring to your recent decision to allow Pharmacists to refuse to dispense legally prescribed medications.

Read moreI previously wrote about the Methodist Church finally taking a stand strongly opposing torture conducted by the U.S. Government, and writing both Bush and Cheney (both claim to be Methodist), and calling on them to end this behavior. But, then the Judicial Council had to issue a series of rulings slamming the door in the face of gay people.
Read moreDid Pat Robertson really say on Sunday that the tornado in Indiana and Kentucky was God’s way of expressing His anger at the actor Warren Beatty and his wife, Annette Bening, for trying to disrput a speech by Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Read moreI might as well get a post about Bush’s Supreme Court Nominee out of the way. In bowing to the religious fanatics on the right, he’s pretty much sealed the fate of our Constitutional rights to be left alone by the government.
Read moreWhat do Democrats stand for? It seems a common refrain, or assumption, that Democrats do not have an overall theme or narrative, and I will certainly agree that the party as a whole does a rather bad job of articulating the message. But it lodged in my brain, and after a half hour of thought I realized that I, at least, know what I stand for. And it’s not complicated.
Read moreA great idea from a good friend of mine.
Read moreWell, this should come as no surprise to anyone. Pat Robertson is now suggesting that the recent rash of natural disasters could be a signal of end times. Its always amazed me that the return of Christ to begin his thousand year reign of love and heavan on earth would be heralded by the death and destruction of millions of innocent individuals.
