I hope they try. We may not be able to stop them from burning flags, but if they so much as land a hand on us, their asses are gonna be in jail.
They don’t need to hurt us. They’re already right in that border area where free speech starts having limits. This man is telling people who he knows will do what he says to go out...

No. I’m sorry, but no. Lady Gaga is not more influential than Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Rahm Emanuel, and Nicolas Sarkozy. The fact that she’s even on the damned list shows how ridiculously juvenile the US media has become. Sarah Palin, sure. I’d even argue for Stephen Colbert and Conan O’Brien. Hell, Oprah is...

It all started in January 2004 when I attended George W. Bush’s State of the Union address. In the midst of two major wars and serious fear about national security and terrorism, the president of the United States chose to highlight a social issue. The president closed his speech with a call for a defense of the “sanctity of marriage,” or in other words, threatening the...

Lawmakers defy church pressure on DC gay marriage
libertyavenue:
WASHINGTON — The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington is threatening to stop providing some social services unless lawmakers change a proposal to legalize same-sex marriages.
The city council has refused to change the measure, which is expected to pass next month.
The church says the marriage bill would force the church to offer employee benefits and adoptions to married same-sex...

The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission plans to protest the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which President Obama signed into law last month, by preaching outside of the Justice Department. Pastor Paul Blair is apparently concerned that the law will infringe on Christians’ constitutional rights to act out their bigotry.

In a first for Texas and a sweeping rejection of the state’s ban on gay marriage, a judge has cleared the way for two gay Dallas men to divorce.
A voter-approved state constitutional amendment and the Texas Family Code prohibit same-sex marriages or civil unions. And the Texas attorney general had intervened in the two men’s divorce case, arguing that since a gay marriage isn’t recognized in...

Austin didn’t know what to wear to his first gay dance last spring. It was bad enough that the gangly 13-year-old from Sand Springs, Okla., had to go without his boyfriend at the time, a 14-year-old star athlete at another middle school, but there were also laundry issues. “I don’t have any clean clothes!” he complained to me by text message, his favored method of communication.

Today, a professor we just met today said that we were all supposed to be gender sensitive in the class. So he asked the class, the guys first, who were gay. Apparently, no one in our class is or none as we all know of.
