In the race to the bottom, Arizona scores again.

The “fiscally responsible, libertarian” Repubs who are in total denial of the fact that their party is now totally controlled by stone age christian religious zealots have passed the country’s most restrictive anti-abortion law.

In theory it bans abortion after 20 weeks of conception – but in reality it introduces a new medical theory. Evidently now life begins at menstruation.

“Gestational age” means the age of the unborn child as calculated
from the first day of the last menstrual period of the pregnant woman.

So effectively it bans abortions at an average of 18 weeks.

Repub gynecologists know best, I suppose.

“Center-right” leaders, Bush alums form “religious conscience” group

This 501(c)4 organization, Conscience Cause, is aimed at “stopping the implementation of a Department of Health and Human Services regulation which would compel people and organizations to pay for drugs and services that violate their faith”

If you are one of those oh-so-very-religious Americans whose conscience is under assault – or even if you just don’t feel like paying for yours or your employees medical care, you should know that there is a christian denomination waiting with open arms to ease your burden.

The Church of Christ, Scientist can help you not have to pay for any pesky penicillin and they are all scientificey too.

You can even feel morally superior to those insulin sluts whose faith is inadequate to control their glucose the way God intended.

There is only one downside, which is that you’ll have to do a lot of praying for healing, but that’s cheap.

Get in on the ground floor – Sign Up Today.

On his radio show recently Rush Limbaugh stirred up a hornet’s nest of condemnation.

He stated that the only valid sexual activity for a woman was to have sex with her one and only lifelong husband in such a way that pregnancy might result.

Anything else – any sex acts, any other person, any use of artificial birth control was sinful and his conscience was offended by the idea of government sponsored medical care actually paying for birth control so that women could sin.

The Catholic bishops meanwhile launched a major campaign, taken up by the Repub party and appearing before Congress, to denounce sluts who want to engage in sex and expect them to pay for it.

Or maybe it was the other way around – it doesn’t really matter.

Because all that Rush has done is say exactly the same thing that the Bishops said and the Republicans are saying, using more colloquial language.

And if you want to see hypocrisy in action, watch the people who will condemn Rush and applaud the Bishops.

I simply don’t understand how our Repub candidates are ignoring a huge threat to our national security – a completely undefended northern border.

They have warned of the danger of Obamacare turning our previously free country into one of those socialist-marxist european style welfare states, but you don’t have to go to Europe – Canada lost its freedoms decades ago.

Medical care there is available to everyone, and they don’t even skim off the top for insurance companies.

And the war on religion has been unremitting – anyone can get birth control, covered by their healthcare.

Why, a women there can even get an abortion if she wants one. Any time. With no restrictions. Not even a mild over-the-knee spanking from their priest. And the Bishops are forced to pay for it !!!!!

Talk about not respecting the delicate consciences of Bishops – Timmy Dolan would be apopleptic.

The family unit was destroyed long ago in Canada when they allowed gays and lesbians to marry, thus re-defining the word and making it meaningless. All is chaos, although no one re-defined the word “divorce” so somehow they have a lower divorce rate than we do.

With all of this sinking of moral values and religion being destroyed, Satan has destroyed the country and surely they cannot be pleasing in God’s eye the way that little Ricky wants to help us be. Surely poor oppressed Catholics with no freedoms of conscience will be swarming over the border begging asylum any day now.

Even if our homicide rate is 3 times theirs.

Luckily most of them speak English and we will be able to incorporate them into our prayer circles easily, as long as they aren’t ill or on birth control.

Some of them, however, speak French and naturally should be immediately deported.

We really are going to need that Danged Fence.

Don’t forget the Repub Clown Parade tonight at 6 PM on CNN

(If you dont have cable it will be streamed live on CNN’s Web site)
The reviews and ratings so far show it to be the most entertaining sort-of-reality TV this year.

It will be moderated by John King, who in his last appearance was attacked (to great applause) by Newt for daring to ask about his open marriage arrangements.
Personally I think Newt should have handled it differently, pointing out that Callista would be the best First Lady having already defeated two opponents in the Primaries.

I think we can safely assume that all of the candidates – except perhaps Ron Paul – will come out firmly opposed to Satan. And probably only Gingrich will imply that Satan and President Obama are one and the same. And everyone will be too polite to mention Planet Kolob.

But what makes the “debates” so entertaining are not the candidates, but the audience, and tonight we are going to have an Arizona Tea Party audience !!!

So far we have been treated to cries of “let him die” for someone without health insurance, Boos for gay soldiers, and wild applause for executing a record number of people.

But I am certain that our Arizonans can top all previous audiences – we are Number One in sheer wingnuttyness.

So pop some popcorn and have a drink everytime little Ricky can’t figure out if he’s running for Pope or National Gynecologist.

And if you’re still sober afterwards, check out Dana Carvey’s Church Lady on Youtube to complete the experience.

GO ARIZONA !!!!!

Obama: This is not the pill you are looking for
Catholic bishops: This is not the pill we are looking for

Thus did the Jedi Master once again stifle the weak minded forces of evil without breaking a sweat.

The Bishops, of course, have been throwing something of a tantrum since under “Obamacare” contraception would be covered, even in corporations which they own.

(And they own a LOT).

This was a violation, they loudly proclaimed, of their “religious freedom” to live in the 18th century and pretend that contraception was a sin.

Naturally all the Repub candidates – also white males, but very very married – joined in to condemn Obama’s “war on religion”.

They are very religious, these guys.

As usual with the catholic church, no nuns were heard from.

But now it’s all gone away with one swoop of the bookeeping, and women will still be able to get contraception coverage.

If only altar boys could get pregnant, contraception would be a sacrament.

(No – not talking about SB1070 this time)

Today the 9th Circuit finally issued it’s long awaited decision on Prop 8,
finding it to be unconstitutional.

The vote was 2-1 with the Democrats outvoting the Repubbigots.

“Proposition 8 served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California,” the court said.

When I first moved to Arizona the first thing that greeted me was the christian bigot funded ballot proposition that amended the State constitution to discriminate against gays.

Pima County voted against it, but was outvoted statewide in this reddest of states.

What the decision means is still unclear – it will in all probability be stayed and appealed and may apply to Arizona or may be limited to California.

In the long run equality will have to wait for the Supreme Court, as always.

And there it hangs by a thread – the re-election of President Obama.

All of the Repub candidates have, of course, vowed to make the United States the most backwards country in the Western world and write bigotry into the Constitution.

Anyone who actually votes for Mitt or Newt or whatever clown they come up with has no excuse claiming that they don’t know they are voting for hate – it is in plain sight.

The Christian Hate Group American Family Association organized protest of J C Penny for choosing Ellen to be their spokesperson.

Funny that JC Penney thinks hiring an open homosexual spokesperson will help their business when most of its customers are traditional families.

The Christian USA Ministries is calling for a boycott of Starbucks for being one of more than 100 firms in Washington supporting same sex marriage.

“Christians are upset with Starbucks for turning against God…Starbucks can follow Satan if they want to,” Steven Andrew, and evangelical pastor and president of the USA Christian Ministries in California, said in a statement.

Started boycott of Girl Scout cookies in protest of their accepting a transgender brownie.
(I hear they support Planned Parenthood too)

St. Timothy Roman Catholic parish in Chantilly in Fairfax County ousted 12 troops with 115 girls. In Alexandria, Saint Rita Catholic Church is reportedly considering doing the same.

Revealed their control of the Komen Foundation by cancelling support for Planned Parenthood and embrionic stem cell research.
(That went well )

Catholic Bishops posted Urgent Action Alert to protest the Obama administration decision that women were entitled to obtain birth control.

They were busy this week. The good news is that more people seem to be considering them not only hateful, but irrelevant.

Except for Repub Presidential candidates, of course.

Last weekend, in a last ditch effort to stop the Mormon Menace, christian leaders and hate group spokespersons from throughout the Old Confederacy gathered in Texas to agree upon a single candidate to represent them.

Attendees were a diverse group of old white straight christian males.

The three contenders were Perry – an evangelical like most of them, Santorum – catholic, and Gingrich – bad catholic.

Surprisingly after a few votes they settled upon Santorum.

For some reason they considered Perry “unelectable”.

But now there is trouble in Paradise.

It seems that the christian voter ID laws aren’t well enforced ( “show me you Bibles” ) and some evangelicals are claiming that the catholics rigged the vote for Santorum and are demanding a recount.

WWJD ?

According to National Republican Radio, the christian bigwigs are meeting again

in Texas to try again to coalesce around a single candidate to run against cult

follower Romney.

They reported – with a straight face – that Jesus Christ wasn’t running and so they

needed to compromise, although little Frothy claimed that he was the pro-Jesus

candidate.

(Unfortunately for him, some of the bigwigs consider Catholicism a cult).

I admit that this brought to mind the vision of Jesus Christ presenting his platform

in front of the typical Repub debate audience:

Blessed are the Meek

No more apology tours !!! We are an Exceptional nation !!!!!

Feed the poor

SOCIALIST !!!!!

Care for the Sick

REPEAL Jesuscare !!!

Blessed are the merciful

Build the fence !! It takes balls to execute an innocent man !!!!

Blessed are the peacemakers

Bomb Iran !!!

Blessed are the persecuted

Stone the gays !!!

What terrific reality TV
