Yes! There are more good people in North Carolina.

From The Daily What … Cheezburger:

The Green Street United Methodist Church in North Carolina is refusing to perform any marriages until same-sex marriage is legally recognized by the state. The announcement comes in conflict with the official laws and doctrines of the United Methodist Church, which lists homosexuality as a practice that is “incompatible with Christian teaching.” In the meantime, the church will be holding “relationship blessings” as an alternative to marriage ceremonies.

North Carolina you’re famous! You made it to Al Jazeera!

The rural US town of Maiden in North Carolina has become the latest flashpoint in an often bitter national debate about gay rights.

Arguments from either side intensified after President Barack Obama earlier this month declared his support for gay marriage.

In rural America’s so called, “Bible Belt”, many pastors have been rhetorical and at times hateful in their condemnation.

A recent sermon posted online by a pastor, in which he outlines a plan to imprison homosexuals behind an electric fence and keep them there until they die, has gone viral.

Al Jazeera’s Kimberly Halkett reports from Maiden.

Reasoned men reason reasonably about what the reasons are for gay marriage

If there is anything I can do to get you to watch this clip, yes you, let me know what that is.

And if there’s something that prevents you from making it through the whole thing, please push through.

Liberals are echoing each other. They are reading STRAIGHT from the bible on the issue of gay marriage and “one man, one woman.”

And this clip is a great example of doing just that.

No one is getting the short end of the stick. No one is getting made fun of.

Watch it. Pretty please, with sugar on top.

About the video of Lawrence O’Donnell exposing lies from Perkins, Franklin Graham, Sean Harris and any other proponent of “one man, one woman.”

What Romney’s ‘Gay Bullying’ Tells Us; Mitt’s Homophobic Streak at Elite Michigan Prep School:http://www.politicalarticles.net/blog/2012/05/11/what-romneys-gay-bullyin­g-tells-us-mitts-homophobic-streak-at-elite-michigan-prep-school/

Come here and give me a hug, North Carolina

Oh North Carolina, we’re not upset with you over passing amendment one. Not one bit. You did what your pastors and church leadership told you to do, and you should be happy with that.

We aren’t going to call you ignorant. We won’t call you a bunch of backwoods rednecks. We’re not going to call you unschooled, unenlightened, unevolved assholes. That would be so mean.

We aren’t going to label you the red-headed stepchild of the United States, or post pictures of you wearing hairy ape costumes.

We won’t call you stupid retards or rally against you as the dumbass state.

Don’t you know that calling names would be juvenile?

We’re not going to criticize you for taking North Carolina back to the olden days when illiterate, bigotry and homophobia reigned supreme.

We’re not going to break up with you just because you’ve just tattooed a huge L on your forehead.

We aren’t even going to bother sending you angry emails or tweets. That would be so wrong.

Nope, we’re going to let your silly little mistakes go unmentioned. We’re going to hide them in the closet with the rest of your sins.

We’re not going to talk about your adulterous affair with South Carolina, when you know you’re married to Virginia. Remember when you took the virgin out of Virginia, that was such a great, bloody romp in the hay, right?

We’re not even going to mention the one time you hooked up with Tennessee and Georgia in the best threesome of your lives.

No sirree bob, your secrets of torrid affairs and gay love triangles are safe with us.

We can keep a secret.

Shhhhhh.

See you next Tuesday, North Carolina. Hope to see you soon!

Let’s quote the National Organization for Marriage. I love this game!

“Hollywood with its cultural biases is far bigger than we can hope to be. We recognize this. But we also recognize the opportunity – the disproportionate potential impact of proactively seeking to gather and connect a community of artists, athletes, writers, beauty queens and other glamorous non-cognitive elites across national boundaries.”

Found on the page marked 15 of this document (bottom of page) called “National Strategy for Winning the Marriage Battle“. Read a little higher up as it discusses how to influence minds and the psychology behind it.

Imagine that. Non-elitists using the sciences of psychology to perpetuate their message.

NOM openly wants the stupid people to deliver their message, because they’re too dumb to understand it in full context.

Hey, gay marriage haters … your leadership is hoping your non-cognitive enough to repeat this shit. So go repeat it!

Santorum compares marriage equality to polygamy

Apparently letting two men or two women marry opens up the floodgates to allow three men to marry.

But allowing one man to marry a woman is cool, just as long as the one man and one woman agree on how many extra women and men get into their spouses’ pants.

Makes perfect sense. Especially from an abortion hater whose wife (may have) had an abortion.

Or something.

Gay marriage leads to [spit, ding] Eiffel Tower weddins

Because if gay marriage is approved, next thing you know, people start playing Mendelssohn’s Wedding March to themselves and inanimate objects, like cupcakes, coffee makers and … ooo la la come here and let me poke you … Eiffel Towers.

About this video:

Michele Bachmann’s Iowa campaign chair Tamara Scott tells Bob Vander Plaats that legalizing gay marriage will lead to legalizing marriage with inanimate objects, like the Eiffel Tower.

College student schools Rick “Frothy Mix” Santorum

This was posted at Atheist Media Blog, a repost from Gawker.

In the clip, Rick Santorum is bald faced telling a group of students in an intimate setting that because he believes what the bible says about homosexuality, he’s labeled a bigot.

He says he’s basing his “opinion” on 2,000 years of moral teachings from an organization of like-minded men telling each other what’s best. Meanwhile, moral-based, church-advocated slavery, baby killing, murder, genocide, etcetera has all been deemed immoral even by a organizations as immoral as churches. It’s fantastic what progress can do for life.

A female student pipes up and calls him into question, citing the American Psychological Association.

She gives defies/corrects/teaches him a good goddamn something about the subject, but Santorum won’t have it. He claims that an organization of psychologists are — of course! — going to agree with themselves. That’s what dumb idiots do. They organize themselves and stroke themselves and hope everyone else strokes them too.

I mean, who wants a professional airline pilot to fly their plane. I want someone with a little more experience in biblical teaching.

Gawker writes:

Yea, because a bunch of centuries old bullshit from withered old men in robes and a magic book that was written by God knows who (seriously, God does know who) is unassailable fact about the evils of homosexuality, but scientific finding about it are just so much silliness. He makes this way too easy, and is way too infuriating.

And to add insult to injury, Santorum’s leader Yeshua teaches him to expect ridicule if he chooses to follow him. So it’s a good thing that people call you a bigot, Ricky. Get your head out of your ass.

Russia Today: Gays Cause Earthquakes!

Yeah they do! And now they cause hurricanes! The Internets are bleeding insanity!

New York Rabbi Yehuda Levin actually blames gay marriage for causing the East Cost earthquake. What’s important to note about Rabbi Levin is his connection to the anti-gay group National Organization for Marriage. NOM is a driving force in GOP politics these days. On their website today, they have details about a family values bus tour in Iowa that includes a picture of the top GOP presidential candidates. This group is trying to pressure all the GOP candidates to sign a pledge to defend traditional marriage. And so far, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney agreed.

A sense of humor

I know, I know. I poke fun and even ridicule my Facebook “friends” occasionally, but I thought this one was actually funny.

My friend wrote (or cut and pasted):

VIRGINIA QUAKE~~BREAKING NEWS!!!
“The USGS has determined that the epicenter of the Va earthquake was in a graveyard just outside of DC. The cause appears to be all of our Founding Fathers rolling over in their graves.”

See. That’s funny. I hope it’s showing a sense of humor. I’m looking at the post wondering if Misty is stewing because she thought it was serious.

Whatever the case, this is the kind of thing I’d rather see on Facebook rather than the apocalyptic messages that gay marriage is beckoning the end of the world.

Keep it up!
