Called the "Everything But Marriage Act" Washington Governor Christine Gregoire signed a state law giving gay couples the same civil and legal rights as heterosexual couples in yet another case concerning the horror of fairness.

Within seconds a group of REPUBLICAN bigots from Protect Marriage Washington called for a referendum to do what THESE KIND OF PEOPLE have always done, try to deny the legal, civil and human rights of people UNLIKE themselves.

What is most worthy of note here is not that Ducks are Gay, but the ad this group of lying Republican bigots shoved out in response.

You know... Why don't progressives dress up as Republican Nitwits (all you need is a drab suit, a red tie, some flag pins and an ugly babe in a mu-mu) and take undercover cameras into groups like Protect Marriage Washington to get video of just how horrible and stupid THESE KIND OF PEOPLE are?

Well I suppose it's because we already knows what KIND OF PEOPLE THEY ARE and there's just  nothing to be done about it.

Once a Catholic myself I often find myself defending the faith over that of our so uniquely American dim bulb evangelical preachers. Though on reflection I have to own up to that error whenever I look over that list of the worst of our Wingnut Mob from Right-wing Hell: Antonin "Benito" Scalia, Clarence "Slappy" Thomas, Alan "Nutcake" Keyes!, William "Fatty Fatty Boom-Boom" Bennett, Bill "Asshole" O'Reilly, Sean "Dimbulb" Hannity, Pat and Bay "As White as it Gets" Buchanann, B1 Bob "Drunk and Disorderly" Dornan! and guess who just went to the Vatican to expedite his conversion to the one true faith?

I suppose a bit of Phillys Schlafly history is in order for the younguns. Phyllis Schlafly became famous in the early 1970's as the leader in the fight against Feminism and the Constitutional Amendment to give women equal rights under the law. Schlafly would have none of it and her cry of STOP THE ERA! was heard round the world! Much like the MLK speech though her dream was a nation of barefoot women doing what they are told to do by their betters. Schlafly is indeed the person most responsible for the ERA never being ratified.

Schlafly began the Eagle Forum in 1972 which pushed a far right-wing agenda of religious intolerance, creationism, and her life long fight against people of color, which goes under the code name "multiculturalism". Schlafly and her organizations have been most active in matters of education, seeking not only to dismantle the Department of Education, advocating forced Christian prayer in school, putting creationism in public school science classes, taking Christian children out of public schools and into home schooling, tax funded vouchers for students to go to fundamentalist religious schools also to destroy the very concept of public education. All in all, the Schlafly's are not much different that the Taliban.

I remember doing an article about her in the early 1990's when she came out against  Geography of all things! She wanted it banned from public schools because it taught our American children about lesser places, which had lesser religions and lesser people. She is THAT KIND of a person.

Her son Andrew Schlafly founded Conservapedia in 2006. Though he has a large screw going through this head, it did not evolve there, much to the pain of Mother Phyllis, he was born with it.

When one first comes across Conservapedia one may think they have fallen into the ONION. Or perhaps a Monty Python sketch, but no, it is the real thing. It seems to be mostly about denying evolution, but it does follow in the shitprints of Fox News in that it is entirely beyond the pale of biased, unbalanced, silly, incredible, dishonest right-wing propaganda sold as the only credible source of THE TRUTH in America today! Conservapedia, the Silliest Damn thing on the Net. 

Conservapedia:About
Conservapedia is a clean and concise resource for those seeking the truth. We do not allow liberal bias to deceive and distort here. Founded initially in November 2006 as a way to educate advanced, college-bound homeschoolers, this resource has grown into a marvelous source of information for students, adults and teachers alike.

As you can tell, not only is it mostly about forcing religion on children (evolution and climate change are liberal lies) but doing so in an unbiased and balanced manner!

You can get a better idea of the nature of this Beast by these two definitions:

A conservative adheres to principles of limited government, personal responsibility and moral values, agreeing with George Washington's Farewell Address that "religion and morality are indispensable supports" to political prosperity.[

A liberal (also leftist) is someone who rejects logical and biblical standards, often for self-centered reasons. There are no coherent liberal standards; often a liberal is merely someone who craves attention, and who uses many words to say nothing. Liberalism began as a movement for individual liberties, but today is increasingly statist, and in Europe even socialistic.

So there you go! The silliest damn website in the world, Conservapedia. Facebook | Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

You have to watch this one just to see Stephen's Rapture Hat (with a handle). I bet one could actually make money selling them to the disgusting, repellent, repugnant, sleaseballs and scumbags who pray everyone in the world dies horribly so they can rapture their sorry asses into nitwit Heaven. It's the nature of the Beast.

As if the Bible wasn't right-wing enough! Anyone read the Old Testicles lately? MY GOD!

But there is very good cause for Republicans to rewrite just about everything Jesus ever said in the New Testament. Ignoring it as they have for so long is wearing thin, they need a full rewrite. I suggest a team of writers led by Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin and of course Glenn Beck to get some of that Missouri Christ and mandatory long underwear into it. Kicks' Religion Web Page

Or I could help them if they want!

There was his moment of anger.

"I shall take 10% on all transactions in this temple! Or the whip!"

On being a good Christian...

"Rich men shall ride on camels while the poor shall have needles in their eyes."

"If one strikes you on the check, turn on them without mercy."

"Do unto others before they do unto you."

"Only through Free markets shall you gain the Kingdom of Heaven."

The Sermon on the Mount, known as the C-Attitutes?

"Blessed are the assholes for they shall own the Earth."

"Wretched are the peacemakers who shall be done in."

"The poor shall inherit hunger, pain and disease."

The last supper...

"Take this wine and this bread as my blood and as my body. In doing so found a religion in my named based upon cannibalism and tomorrow's execution."

And of course those famous last words...

"Father, never forgive these bastards for they know exactly what they do!

It's true! The Conservative Bible Project is in the process of revamping the new testament first, claiming to "correct errors in conveying biblical meaning." The entire book is full of liberal bias according to the group led by son of *Phylis Schlafly's son Andrew. There is not enough fire and brimstone for their liking either.

*Phylis Schlafly is known as a vocal and leading opponent of the Equal Rights Amendment. In my opinion, the smell of fire and brimstone accompanies her wherever she goes. She very nearly kept the ERA from passing - preaching that women belonged in the home, though she rarely was with her campaigning and numerous lectures and conservative organizations.

Down here in Dumbutt our Texas State Board of Education has hired some "experts" to help rewrite our history and social studies text books which we and many other states will be using for the next 10 years. Two of the six "experts" are constructionist Evangelical Ministers who believe there is  no separation of church and state and we should live under a system of Biblical Law rather than the Constitution. Really!

At the top of their list is removing things they don't like from history. Most loudly trying to rid history of uppity Mexicans, African Americans and unions. And then add more Columbus, Pilgrims and Puritans who founded this Christian Nation on Christian values!

I totally agree with the that part of it!

More Columbus! Big long chapters on how Columbus brought the Spanish Inquisition to the new world - which had been recently installed by Ferdinand and Isabella in 1486. His plans to enslave what he considered the less than human Indians to mine gold and carry it to his ships. An to then profit from selling Indians to European slave markets. I could help by writing a few dozen chapters on that.

More about the Pilgrims and the Puritans! New England controlled wholly by protestant Biblical law. Where heretics being punished with torture and execution for not going to church, and hanging witches in Salem. I want to see 25 chapters just on that alone!

And as the history courses progress through the year, chapters on Sister Aimee McPherson, Father Caughlin, Jim Jones, Jim and Tammy Bakker and not to forget Jimmy Swaggart choking the Bishop in sleazy motel rooms with $20 ho's. A long fun chapter on that one please.

Gosh, I buy like a pallet of Peeps after Easter to put in our doggie treat drawer. I had no idea I was serving communion to my less than thin Jewish Golden Retriever. I suppose I should be serving him wine with that. Facebook | Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

If only Cartman and the kids of Southpark could have been there to tell Mike Schwartz chief of staff to Sen Tom Coburn of OK a few things about why and the other ten to twelve year olds he spoke of, why they use some of their favorite words, and that it has nothing to do with their growing sexual identity. They could also dash his hopes as to why viewing the traditional illicit pictorial material of males will not turn them into that portion of the population which seems to preoccupy a great deal of his time and attention, perhaps he'd have received a dose of reality from a cartoon! I think you will agree he is fairly well obsessed with those among us 'of a different sexual persuasion' to quote Ms Prejean loosely. He assured the right thinking and rapt audience that they have nothing to fear at the Value Voters Summit, and they seem quite relieved that all of science and medicine is incorrect on this one as well. Science has long held this issue to be nature rather than nurture, but he knows better! Of course he had the perfect audience, most being of the Fundie persuasion who feel church and state should be one, if it's their church and their beliefs, which is exactly what Schwartz was preachin' and what seems to fly at the Value Voters Summit.

Washington Independent reporter David Weigel joins Rachel to describe the goings on at this bizarre event, or what he was able to record and snap before he and other reporters were escorted out at the request of the winner of the ironic "Courage in Journalism Award," Bill O'Reilly. Perhaps it will make him feel just a little better about the awards Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are racking up, and the long standing feud between O'Reilly Al Franken over a slight exaggeration by O'Reilly as to how many prizes he'd won. You won't want to miss the thinly veiled ugly side of Roy Blount brought to you in joke form. Facebook | Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |
