Judge Who Refuses To Perform Same-Sex Weddings Suspended For Being A Pervert
 |
I’m gonna head out there on this limb right now, and say that conservatives and Republicans and religious wingnuts are some of the kinkiest sons of bitches out there.
Case in point: Tallapoosa County Probate Judge Leon Archer. Archer’s been married for over forty years; Archer is one of those Alabama judges who quit performing marriages last year rather than allow same-sex couples to wed in his office.
Leon Archer is also accused of becoming so enamored of a woman he met while performing her marriage to another man that he began sending her sexually explicit messages and nude photographs of himself—that’s him up top … who wants to see his nekked bits?
It all began when this 34-year-old woman showed up at Archer’s office to marry her 68-year-old Daddy, er, boyfriend. While Archer did perform the ceremony he made mention of the huge age difference between the parties and, when the wedding was annulled soon afterwards, Archer began sending his dirty pictures and hot-to-trot messages to the woman on Facebook.
In fact, Archer sent more than 60 pages of messages, like “I want to hear you moan” and “what happened to us hooking up.” The messages only stopped after an Alabama newspaper, The Alexander City Outlook, found out about them and reported the story.
Archer had admitted his actions at the time and apologized, though he wants y’all to know that he and the woman never had any physical contact; they just exchanged dirty messages and nudie pics on the Facebook.
Archer regrets his actions—cuz he got caught, you know—and has and cooperated fully with a probe that resulted in charges being filed against him. He reached a settlement with investigators in which he agreed to a six-month suspension without pay.
Well, that’ll give him plenty of time to update his Facebook status, won’t it?
I so love these conservatives and republicans and religious wingnuts who take the stand against same-sex marriage and the sanctity of one-man-one-woman marriage while they’re sending home-made porn pictures, and pornographic messages over the internet to random women they want to make moan.
Seriously. The hypocrisy reeks.

Marjorie Silva Won't Bake A 'God Hates Fags' Cake
 |
We’ve heard all the stories of florists who don’t want to sell flowers for two grooms getting married, and bakeries that won’t make cakes for same-sex-couples, but this is a new twist.
Marjorie Silva, owner of the Azucar Bakery in Denver will bake a cake for any occasion, for anyone, gay or straight or whatever. Until recently.
See, an older man came into her store one day and said he wanted a cake shaped to look like the Bible, and Silva said that was not a problem; she says she makes Christian-themed cakes "all the time” but this one was so different.
The man, when telling Silva what he wanted, took out a piece of paper with the words he wanted written on the cake, but he would not hand it over. One of the employees said he wanted them to write “God Hates fags” on the cake.
“He wouldn’t allow me to make a copy of the message, but it was really hateful. I remember the words detestable, disgrace, homosexuality, and sinners.”—Marjorie Silva
Still, Marjorie, to her credit, said she’d bake it, with a caveat ... she would not write those words on the cake but would “sell him a [decorating] bag with the right tip and the right icing so he could write those things himself.” She says she would have been devastated to release a cake with such a hateful message fashioned by her own hands.
And that’s when the man stood up, told her that she needed to talk to her attorney, and left.
Hmmm, I smell a set-up. And lo and behold, a few hours later, the man came back and asked if she’d conferred with her lawyer; she told him she was busy and didn’t have time, but once more offered to bake the Bible cake and sell him the tools to complete the task himself but that is clearly not what he wanted. She says, though no one raised their voice, the man was creating a scene and she asked him to leave, which he did.
Then he came back again — the third time in one day — and this time Marjorie asked her brother to excuse him, but before he left, he told Marjorie, and her staff, “You will hear from me!”
And she did, via a letter filed with Colorado’s Department of Regulatory Agencies [DORA] that explained that a discrimination complaint had been filed against the bakery and that she would need to respond with her account of what happened that afternoon:
“I can … tell you that the customer wanted us to draw two males holding hands … with a big ‘X’ on them. I told him that we do not like to discriminate in this bakery, we accept all humans and that the message and drawing is extremely rude.”
Marjorie admits to being confused as to why the man chose her bakery, but said it might have had something to do with a pro-marriage-equality statement she gave to a Spanish-speaking news outlet after the Masterpiece Cakeshop decision; that’s the case where the Colorado Civil Rights Commission upheld a judge’s ruling that a Lakewood bakery was guilty of discrimination when the owners refused to bake cakes for gay weddings.
Marjorie suspects the man might have been organizing the backlash and using her shop to stage his protest, but she adds, in her response to DORA:
“I would like to make it clear that we never refused service. We only refused to write and draw what we felt was discriminatory against gays. In the same manner we would not … make a discriminatory cake against Christians, we will not make one that discriminates against gays.”
DORA will make a decision 30 days from receipt of Marjorie’s final statement, but let me make this perfectly queer: asking someone to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple is nothing like asking someone to bake a Bible cake with “God Hates Fags” on it.
One cake celebrates love, the other celebrates hate.
And possibly tastes terrible, too.

63 Texas Asshats ... Or Is That Redundant?
 |
This week sixty-three Texas legislators signed the Texas Conservative Coalition brief calling on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold the state’s bans on same-sex marriage.
And heeeeere they are:
The brief states that U.S. District Judge Orlando L. Garcia’s decision to strike down the marriage bans opened the door to a variety of unions that society has deemed unacceptable:
“The district court broadened the definition of the ‘existing right to marry’ as one that includes the right of people to ‘select the partners of their choosing’ for marriage, without regard to sex. If the right to select ‘partners of their choosing’ is the criterion used to invoke marriage as a fundamental right, then marriage restrictions on age, polygamy, and consanguinity are also ripe for challenge.”
That means they feel that if you allow Adam and Steve, or Madam and Eve, to marry, you’d also have to allow a grown-assed man or woman to marry a child, or allow men to marry many women, or allow sisters and brothers to marry.
I am so over that argument. Please, please for the love of the goddess, show me where, in any state where marriage equality has come to be, that a man asked to marry a child, or several women, or his sister, his dog, his horse, his car ….
::::crickets::::
Just because you say something over and over and over and over and over again doesn’t make it true, because if that were the case, I’d be constantly saying that being a Republican causes dementia and being from Texas causes one to lose any and all brain function.
If I say it enough, maybe folks will believe it? But then, as Republicans and Conservatives, and asshats and wingnuts, are apt to do, they walked back their rhetoric just a bit:
“None of this is to say that recognition of pedophilia or other morally reprehensible actions being recognized as valid is actually a logical next step that would follow recognition of same-sex marriages.”
Oh, so when you said that allowing two men or two women the legal right to marry, it would lead to incest and bigamy and pedophilia, you didn’t really mean it? But you said it because … fear.
Use fear as a way to advance your intolerance and bigotry and downright stupidity.
Maybe I was right, maybe being a Texas Republican leads to dementia and loss of brain function.
Or maybe not.

One More Reason To Pray For Arizona ... and America
 |
Oh, Arizona. After the ‘Show me your papers’ mess a couple of years ago, and the Governor Jan Brewer tales of headless bodies in the desert that turned out to be a lie, you kinda settled down a bit. Don’t get me wrong, you’re still the equivalent of an old man in Hagar slacks sitting on his front porch yelling at the neighborhood kids to get off his lawn, but you’ve settled down some for a moment.
But now we have busses filled with migrant children and Sean Hannity with guns and self-loathing homosexual Sheriff Paul Babeu acting the fool, and Adam Kwasman, Arizona political loon — see post below — and, well, you’ve come roaring back up to the top of the charts … the Crazy Charts … with this:
Out there in Mesa, Arizona, the Heritage Academy requires that its students read “The 5,000 Year Leap” and “The Making of America,” by Cleon Skousen; both books claim that America was founded as a Christian nation, and not a secular nation as it has been since the beginning.
So, they require their students to learn a lie because most folks know, know, that our Constitution makes no reference to God or even the Baby Jesus; it says not a word about Christianity. What it does say, however, is anyone and everyone is allowed to practice whatever belief they choose; religious, non-religious, makes no difference.
But students at Heritage Academy don’t learn that; they are being indoctrinated into a teabagging, conservative spewing, lie living sect that puts Christianity — all other faiths and non-believers be damned — at the forefront of politics. And yet that’s not all they learn at Heritage Academy.
Skousen’s book, “The Making of America” claim s slavery was “beneficial” to African Americans and that Southern racism was caused by the ‘intrusion’ of northern abolitionists and advocates of equality for the freed slaves.
Slavery good, y’all; even for the slaves! The book also includes an essay by Fred Albert Shannon that claims white children were jealous of the ‘freedom’ that black slave children enjoyed:
“If [black children] ran naked it was generally from choice, and when the white boys had to put on shoes and go away to school they were likely to envy the freedom of their colored playmates.”
Those poor white children had to go to school and become educated while the black children got to run naked and play … then work in the fields, work in the plantation houses, sleep ten to twenty a room, with barely a blanket upon which to rest. Oh, and let’s not forget that slaves were also beaten and tortured for learning even the simplest things, like reading and writing. I wonder if the white children were jealous of the beatings, too.
Arizona; where a charter school is teaching its students that slavery was good for black people; that we are a Christian nation, with laws given to us by the Almighty herself; that there is no Separation of Church and State in the Constitution. And if you think this one school — though there are no doubt others — is an anomaly, and doesn’t reflect any current, large-scale viewpoint in the country, you might wanna rethink.
Think about Arizona Republican Jim Brown who, in a post on Facebook, said this:
“I want folks to think about something. I want folks to think about how slavery really works. Back in the day of slavery, slaves were kept in slavery by denying them education and opportunity while providing them with their basic needs. Not by beating them and starving them. (Although there were isolated cases if course) Basically slave owners took pretty good care of their slaves and livestock and this kept business rolling along.”
Slavery was good for slaves because they were taken care of like animals.
Think about Jon Hubbard, a Republican member of the Arkansas House of Representatives, who wrote in a book that slavery was "a blessing" for African-Americans:
“… the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise. The blacks who could endure those conditions and circumstances would someday be rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established upon the face of the Earth.”
Live long enough, suffer the abuse and beatings and torture and maybe, maybe, you can become a citizen; if you don’t die first.
Think about Nevada GOP state representative Jim Wheeler who said he would do whatever his constituents wanted, damn the consequences. Then Chuck Muth, the leader of a conservative group called Citizens Outreach asked Wheeler what if his constituents wanted to bring back slavery, and Wheeler responded: “Hey, if it’s what the citizens want, right Jim?”
Think about the racist Arizona conservatives who once refused to honor Martin Luther King Day.
That’s Arizona; that’s the future of Arizona, and other parts of this country, because of so-called schools like the Heritage Academy that teach outright lies and conservative-only lessons; schools that actually teach only parts of the Constitution and outright deny that other parts of that document even exist.
Heritage Academy is taking all kinds of criticism over their curriculum, but they say they will not change what they teach and how they teach it. And there’s not a lot that can be done about it, save understanding what their curriculum teaches and either removing your children from that school or simply avoid attending it in the future.
Charter schools receive public funding but operate independently, so it’s easier to teach students things that aren’t part of the standard state or federally approved curriculum, so why aren’t we pulling public funding from these schools like they’ve done in the United Kingdom?
Why not pull funding from any charter school that teaches that slavery is good and that God made America?
Surely even the people of Arizona know a lie when they see one?

Who Do I Hafta F**k To Get A Decent Politician For South Carolina? Part Five: Congressman Trey Gowdy
 |
Down here in South Carolina, where it not the heat, it’s the stupidity, we have had our share of asshatted politicians, like, well, y’all remember Congressman Joe Wilson? He’s the guy who shouted “You lie” when President Obama spoke about health care reform during a State of the Union address.
But we’ve had Governor Mark Sanford who actually disappeared from the state for several days and we were told he was “hiking the Appalachian Trail” when all that really meant was he was schtupping his mistress in South America.
South Carolina. South America. Perhaps he was just confused.
Of course, Sanford was replaced as governor by Nikki Haley who faced her own cheating scandal during her first run at the Governor’s Mansion, and we also endured the wingnuttiness of Senator Jim DeMint, a Tea Party darling a la Rand Paul, Sharron Angle, and Christine O’Donnell.
And the queen — no pun intended, maybe — of all our wingnuts here in South Carolina is Senator Lindsey Graham, who is still trying, after seven other unsuccessful attempts, to blame Obama for the attacks on the embassy in Benghazi even though he sat on his hands and said and did nothing during all of embassy attacks that occurred under George W. Bush.
Yeah, not the heat, the stupidity and then came this ….
Last week Congressman Trey Gowdy, the Republican, of course, from South Carolina, of course, who leading the House Select Committee on Benghazi, warned his colleagues not to use this issue as a fundraising ploy while actually using the issue as a money-raising tool.
Well, of course, it was an attack, and people died, why use that to raise money? Except …
But right before he asked Republicans to not use the attacks to make a little extra cash for their campaign chests, the National Republican Congressional Committee [NRCC] sent out a fundraising email featuring Trey Gowdy and his committee as the hook:
“You’re now a Benghazi Watchdog. Let’s go after Obama and Hillary Clinton.”
And then it asks for money.
Later on, when his own hypocrisy came to light, Gowdy said the NRCC should stop the campaign, though it has not. But this is apparently nothing new, because Gowdy has raised money on the backs of those dead Americans before, so, yeah, his Please stop doesn’t seem genuine.
Last September, Gowdy attended a “barbecue fundraiser” for Congressman Mick Mulvaney, another South Carolina Republican, and spoke at length about Benghazi to those in attendance. he talked about the “phony scandals” — a phrase used by the Obama Administration — involving the IRS and NSA, but then, referring to the scandal surrounding the murders of four Americans in Benghazi, Gowdy said this is not the case:
“It is a scandal. But it is not a phony scandal. … There is nothing phony about (citizens) not trusting the people they put in positions of leadership.”
Ka-ching went the Mulvaney coffers.
And a few weeks later, Trey spoke at a campaign fundraising event for Lindsey Graham — the ringleader of Benghazi conspiracy theories — where he praised Graham on Benghazi:
“There is no one in Congress who has done more on the issue of Benghazi than your senior senator.”
Ka-ching went the Graham coffers.
Trey Gowdy also praised Utah GOP wingnut Congressman, Jason Chaffetz, saying he has done more than anyone else in the House to hold Obama accountable on Benghazi at a private fundraiser for Chaffetz.
So, Trey Gowdy, pot, kettle, black. And when this latest investigation into Benghazi, and any attempt to blame the whole thing on Obama and/or Hillary Clinton, come up empty again I wonder how long it will take before Trey Gowdy and his ilk use the deaths of Americans as a fundraising issue all while decrying the very idea.
Seriously, who do I hafta f…….

Who Do I Hafta F**k To Get A Decent Senator For South Carolina? Part Four: Senators Mike Fair and Lee Bright
 |
A few weeks back, a group of South Carolina lawmakers —
obviously without an active brain cell between them — got their Tea Party
panties in a snit and voted to cut funding for a reading program at South
Carolina Upstate because one of the required books had a :::gasp::: gay
theme.
These wingnutted, asshatted, teabagging Republicans cut
$17,146 from the university’s budget — the exact cost of the required reading
program which included “Out Loud: The Best of Rainbow Radio,” a
collection of stories shared on South Carolina’s first gay radio show. And one
of those asshatted wingnutted teabagging Tea Party Panties in a Snit
Republicans was state Senator Mike Fair [left], who said of the program:
"It's just not normal and then you glorify, or it seems to me, that the promotion at USC is a glorification of same sex orientation.”
Hmm, reading a book about the state’s first gay radio show
is glorifying homosexuality? Good, maybe it’s time South Carolina realized that
there are :::gasp::: gay people here.
But Mike Fair wasn’t finished with his anti-gay book burning
crusade because now he says the school has taken wheat he dubs their
“questionable behavior” even further when it booked the show "How to
Become a Lesbian in 10 Days or Less."
“That's not an explanation of 'I was born this way.’ It's recruiting.”—Senator Mike Fair
And now Fair, and one of his fellow asshatted, wingnutted,
teabagging, Tea Party Panties in a Snit Republicans, Senator Lee
Bright [right], have banded together to vote against each and every
incumbent USC trustee.
Trouble is, both Fair and Bright — Fair and bright? Oh
Jeebus, the irony — didn’t bother to find out anything about the show before
they set up their bonfires for the Book Burnin’ Marshmallow Roast.
Tammy Whaley, the assistant vice chancellor for USC Upstate
communications, released this statement:
“The title of ‘How to Become a Lesbian in 10 Days or Less,’ while deliberately provocative, is satirical in nature but has not been received as such. The controversy surrounding this performance has become a distraction to the educational mission of USC Upstate and the overall purpose of the Bodies of Knowledge symposium. As a result, we have canceled this segment of the symposium.”
Oh, so it’s not about recruitin’ Lesbians? Y’don’t say?
And Gail Stephenson, president of Upstate Pride, took it a step further
and wondered what the team of Fair and Bright — seriously, I cannot stop
laughing at that — might try to ban next:
“Diversity is diversity. And we can't just say we are going to choose this part of diversity, but we're not going to choose this part of diversity. Then what's next? Are we going to cut out women's studies? Racial integration?”
Careful, Gail, you might give Fair and Bright some new ideas.
Seriously, people, who do I hafta f**k to get a decent
Senator, lawmaker, Governor, for South Carolina?

Good News: Bye Bye Bachmann
So, as we celebrate the fact the Michele Bachmann has chosen
not to run for Congress again, and will instead devote the next year or so toward
the planning of soon-to-be ex-husband, Marcus', same-sex wedding, while trying
to dodge a Congressional Ethics probe, let's take a glance back at some of the
pearls of wisdom that have spewed from her lips and then dribbled down her
chin.
Ladies and Gentle-ladies, I give you Michele Bachmann, in
her own words:
"What I want them to know is, just like, John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa. That's the kind of spirit I have too."
"I will tell you that I had a mother last night come up to me here in Tampa, Florida, after the debate. She told me that her little daughter took that vaccine, that injection, and she suffered from mental retardation thereafter."
"And to have innocent little 12-year-old girls be forced to have a government injection through an executive order is just flat out wrong."
"Take this into consideration, If we look at American history, between 1942 and 1947, the data that was collected by the Census Bureau was handed over to the FBI and other organizations at the request of President Roosevelt, and that's how the Japanese were rounded up and put into the internment camps... I'm not saying that that's what the Administration is planning to do, but I am saying that private personal information that was given to the Census Bureau in the 1940s was used against Americans to round them up, in a violation of their constitutional rights, and put the Japanese in internment camps."
"I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out under another, then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence."
"Carbon dioxide, Mr. Speaker, is a natural byproduct of nature. Carbon dioxide is natural. It occurs in Earth... Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful, but there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas."
"What I love about New Hampshire and what we have in common is our extreme love of liberty...You're the state where the shot heard round the world in Lexington and Concord."
"The news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would, I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out are they are pro-America or anti-America... I think the people that Barack Obama has been associating with are anti-American, by and large... Absolutely, I'm very concerned that (Barack Obama) may have anti-American views... I never questioned Barack Obama’s patriotism."
"Well I think we know that just within a day or so, the president of the United States will be taking a trip over to India that is expected to cost the taxpayers $200 million a day. He's taking 2,000 people with him. He'll be renting out over 870 rooms in India. And these are 5-star hotel rooms at the Taj Mahal Palace hotel. This is the kind of over-the-top spending."
"Our K-12 public school system, of which ninety per cent of all youth are in the public school system, they will be required to learn that homosexuality is normal, equal and perhaps you should try it. And that will occur immediately, that all schools will begin teaching homosexuality.
"(Same-sex marriage) is probably the biggest issue that will impact our state and our nation in the last, at least, thirty years. I am not understating that."
"In 5,000 years of recorded human history... neither in the east or in the west... has any society ever defined marriage as anything other than between men and women. Not one in 5000 years of recorded human history. That's an astounding fact and it isn't until the last 12 years or so that we have seen for the first time in recorded human history marriage defined as anything other than between men and between women."
"If we took away the minimum wage — if conceivably it was gone — we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level."
"Well if you look at one of our Founding Fathers, John Quincy Adams, that’s absolutely true. He was a very young boy when he was with his father serving essentially as his father’s secretary. He tirelessly worked throughout his life to make sure that we did in fact one day eradicate slavery... Well, John Quincy Adams most certainly was a part of the Revolutionary War era. He was a young boy but he was actively involved."
"Normalization (of gayness) through desensitization. A very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders is to take a picture of "The Lion King" for instance, and a teacher might say, "Do you know the music for this movie was written by a gay man?" The message is: I'm better at what I do because I'm gay."
"I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending."
"Why should I go and do something like that? But the Lord says, 'Be submissive wives; you are to be submissive to your husbands."
"I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out: Are they pro-America or anti-America?"
"Before we get started, let's all say 'Happy Birthday' to Elvis Presley today."
Bye Bye Bachmann.
