Apparently America Is A Christian Nation Because The Founders Said Things Like ‘In The Year Of Our Lord’
When debating right-wing hacks, remember, they do not operate within the same framework that you and I call reality. But even though they are disconnected from facts and evidence, don’t underestimate their ability to use half-truths, canards and misdirection in a failed effort to avow their firm beliefs.

Is Same-Sex Marriage Violating The Civil Rights Of Conservative Christians?
A minority group of gay and lesbian citizens working to achieve civil rights parity with a majority group of Christian conservative citizens, does NOT result in a civil rights violation of said majority group.

Catholic High School Teacher With 18 Years Tenure Fired After Telling Colleagues She Is Gay
At a faculty workshop at Totino-Grace Catholic High School in Fridley, Minnesota, Kristen Ostendorf told her colleagues “I’m gay, I’m in a relationship with a woman, and I’m happy.” She said the “make your mark” theme of the workshop combined with the firing of the school president (also gay) in July prompted her to come out to her co-workers. But the next day the school administration told her she must resign or face termination. She did not want to quit her job and so the school promptly fired her.

Republicans Behaving Badly: Tennessee Representative Uses Bible To Justify Starvation
In the never-ending chronicles of Republicans behaving badly, Tennessee Representative Stephen Fincher uses a Bible quote as his shield. I guess in Fincher’s warped mind he is absolved of any guilt because he is only carrying out the wishes of God. I mean, it’s printed in the Bible. It’s supposed to be the word of God. And it’s REALLY old! And it’s written in English no less!
