Absolute Religious Insanity

The state of Indiana was forced to pay $1.4 million dollars in legal fees after losing the fight against same sex marraige. Then, came the disastrous Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which cost the state millions in lost revenue from conventions that have abandoned Indianapolis and companies that will either move away or not expand their operations (Angie's List) - this could even cost us a future Super Bowl, and all over religion. Oh, then in order to repair the damage done to Indiana's (Mike's Pence's) image the state has hired a New York PR firm for $750K to promote Indiana.
Folks, we Hoosiers are not all right wing, bible-thumping, homophobic, bigots. Please, comeand wander my Indiana...

I mean, give me a single NON-RELIGIOUS reason to oppose same sex marriage or for that matter to discriminate against another peson because of their sexual orientation?

Memorial Day

I just wish that we could go a whole year from now without losing another servicemember in combat.
We certainly don't need to go back into Iraq to fight a war that the Iraqi Army will not. They had the ISIS outnumbered ten to one and fled. Yes, the cowards and abandoned tanks, artillery, Hun Vees, and no doubt guns and ammunition to ISIS when they fled Ramandi. We need to disengage in Afghansitan totally. They can either stand up and fight the Taliban or make a deal with the Islamists; it isn't our war any more.

No more flag draped caskets for wars that we cannot win...

Jeb Wouldn't Have Authorized Invading Iraq

He said that he would have done that based on the same intelligence that his brother GW had. Well, there is one problem with that; GW etal, cooked the books on the intel and cherry picked what items to use to justify the invasion and worse yet; ignored the advice of others. You must remember how GW and the others (Rumsfeld, Rice, and Cheney) made ever pathetic attempt they could to tie Saddam Hussein to the events of 9/11 - While totally ignoring the fact that fifteen of the hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.
No Bush in 2016 - Fuck us once, fuck us twice; not a third time.......

Aftermath of The RFRA Fiasco In Indiana

Governor Mike Pence, a christian, conservative, Repealican, has his popularity numbers in the sewer and is facing a challenge from Democrat John Gregg who he barely beat in the last general election.
And, he may even face a Republican challenger in a primary a year from now. Pence was once the GOP's rising star until be revealed himself to America as a homophobic bigot by surronding himself (in secret) with other homophobes when he sign the most discrimatory anti gay legislation in the country. The backlash was tremendous and the GOP controlled legislature was forced to issue another bill to try and but a squelch on the outrage. That didn't work worth a shit and now the GOP is blaming it all on Pence but still trying to figure out a way to pander to their far right evangelical christian base and keep from losing seats this next election.
It ain't gonna work...
