And guess who had a part in the article

I am traveling (and am currently in) the aforementioned state where a lot of controversy is happening.

I honestly had a bit of fun listening to the radio today though. You know who makes Rush Limbaugh seem downright compassionate and well meaning? AFA Radio. I realize it sounds like I'm kidding, but some of the stuff I heard on that station? Well, I know now what a radio station that is ran by the 50's era Klu Klux Klan would sound like.

Highlights?

-Todd Starnes using the terms "Vicious" to describe those for LGBT rights. I kept hearing strong words to describe those on the left, this will be a running theme
-Todd Starnes also used the strawman argument bitching about how companies and LGBT rights groups do not go after countries in the middle east for their treatment of homosexuals, yet target CHRISTIANS.
-"LGBT RIGHTS MACHINE, AND THEIR FRIENDS ON THE SECULAR LEFT. THEY HAVE A LOT OF MONEY, A LOT OF SUPPORT FROM "BIG BUSINESS"."-Afternoon guy.
-"IT ONLY SERVES TO PROTECT PEOPLE TO PROTECT THEIR CHRISTIAN CONVICTIONS"-Afernoon guy (Tim Wildman (sp?) I guess is his name)
- "They make it sound like we're discriminating against gay people, and they can deny them service"-Afternoon guy
-"The law is designed to protect the christian from being forced to bake a cake for a gay couple. The SECULAR media is framing this wrong"-Afternoon guy
-"This is about PUNISHING the christian about taking part in something immoral"-Afternoon guy
-"I know Mike Pence. He's a solid human being"-Afternoon guy
-"I think the opponents won't be satisfied until this law is repealed" (No poo poo)-Afternoon Guy.
-"It could serve a good purpose to allow the LGBT community to be "smoked" out by pence clarifiying this"-Afternoon Guy
--"GLBT machine has become so powerful. They only represent 2 percent of the population. Not ALL of them are rabid supporters."-Afternoon Guy
-"How is the gay machine so powerful?" "This didn't come through a reasoned rationable debate. This came from "imagination". We went from the Cosby Show, to Will and Grace, and now MODERN FAMILY. The FAMILY was where you went to solve you problem. There is a POWEFUL LOBBY, and the culture is changing. This is one of the fruits of the Sexual revolution"-Afternoon Guy
-Janet Parshall called in and insisted that being "gay" should not be protected because it's something you can "choose" to be. She said that being black, or white is something you cannot choose to be. Therefore being gay should not be protected.
-She insisted that the Indiana law was the same as the federal law on the books.

Other poo poo was said about "state's rights" and other vaguely racist lingo during my listening of this.

Again. These people were so terrible, they made Rush Limbaugh look like your average D and D poster. Also I think Mike Pence is very much in their pocket as evidence by many of their comments.

e2: One of the guys actually said that Methodists were not true Christians because of recent policies they've introduced for the Church.

James O'Keefe Loses Libel Suit Over Landrieu Incident

quote:

on Monday, a federal court in New Jersey dismissed a libel suit O'Keefe filed against legal news website MainJustice. In August 2013,MainJustice published an article referring to a 2010 incident in which O'Keefe and his associates posed as telephone technicians to gain access to the offices of then–Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). O'Keefe and three othersultimately pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge of entering federal property under false pretenses.

In its original article, MainJustice said that O'Keefe was "apparently trying to bug" Landrieu's offices. After O'Keefe complained, the website changed the sentence to read that O'Keefe and his associates "were trying to tamper with Landrieu's phones." Still, O'Keefe sued, alleging that both characterizations were defamatory because they implied he had committed a felony. MainJustice countered that the language wasn't defamatory because the substance of the article was true, and the site accurately described the legal proceedings triggered by the episode.

gently caress you O'Keefe

The Cosby Show seems to be microcosm of what the evangelical right believes in of the supposed "family values" era.. On the surface, nice family show with easy problems and nothing bad ever happens to those people ever. Beyond that? A sociopath who drugged and raped women, and sold out his own daughter's drug abuse to keep his name out of the tabloids.

The GOP is truly hosed with these people guiding the ship, and trust me, they are.

quote:

The Republican Party continues to sicken me. I've never before seen such a flimsy group of trembling little wimps. In fact, I recorded this podcast after the Indiana Republican retreat on religious freedom, but now I'm hearing that the Republican governor of Arkansas has bowed to gay mafia pressure and pledged to veto their own religious freedom bill because -- and I'm paraphrasing -- liberals are scary when they get mad and all this controversy makes his tummy hurt.

Seriously, conservatives need to finally take the red pill and realize that the Republican Party is nothing but an elaborate scam constructed to siphon your votes and your soul but give you nothing in return. Because that's what the Republicans have given conservatives: nothing.

And the worst part is that they have such an easy job. It should be EASY to explain why religious freedom is important. Maybe not easy to get liberals on board, but you should be able to communicate and defend these ideals, for God's sake.

This podcast is about the religious freedom bill surrender, but I could make one titled "Republicans are spineless cowards" every single day, because every day provides new examples.

Bumbling, stumbling, backtracking, scared little puppy dogs. If we knew what was good for us we'd finally disband this useless party and start a new one that actually stands for something:

He's sort of right on the fact that the party won't deliver. Why should they desire blanket bans of abortion or the extermination of all gays when they can just dangle the issues in front of voters and then go "whoops, tried my best!" when somehow abortion still isn't banned and gays still walk the Earth.

I want to see the business republicans and the tea partiers eat each other. Aw yiss.

This RFRA deal has really stirred things up eh?
The local AM "independent libertarian" was very upset by all of this today, especially the fact that the pizza place is temporarily closing.

I've only been able to find one article about it: http://www.tmz.com/2015/04/01/memories-pizza-closes-indiana-deny-service-gay-wedding/

quote:

Memories Pizza -- the first Indiana business to declare it would refuse LGBT business -- got blasted on the Internet and by phone, but the owner says there's been a huge misunderstanding ... sorta.
Kevin O’Connor tells TMZ he's had to temporarily close his business after he told a reporter he would refuse to cater a gay wedding under Indiana's new Religious Freedom Restoration Act. O'Connor says he was immediately flooded by threatening phone calls, and social media postings.
O'Connor wants to clear up one thing: He says he would never deny service to gay people in his restaurant. However, due to his religious beliefs, he does not believe in gay marriage ... and that's why he wouldn't service one.
Meanwhile, he says the threats have been serious enough that he's closing his pizza joint ... at least until the dust settles.
Indiana's controversial law has raised a lot of questions, not the least of which is ... what gay wedding would hire a pizza place to cater?

The local AM guy was going on about how this dust up was like the left was walking the battlefield after the war and shooting the wounded in the head, metaphorically speaking of course.

The right knows that it will never, ever manage to ban abortion or exterminate the gays. This is part of why those are such powerful issues to harp on. Same with ending all social programs or returning America to the 19th century. This poo poo is literally impossible. The only thing that matters is what gets votes and what keeps the party in power. The Republicans give no shits about anything in reality except that one fact of "do whatever gets votes."
