I just wish he wouldn’t make it so hard. I have never met Mr. Westlake, and he seems by all accounts to be a very nice person. I also fully respect the campaign he has run(although I dont understand how he can do it), but getting out and meeting people and being willing to [...]

Over at the Cap Times website, John Nichols has an excellent analysis of the Democratic Lt. Governor race; it’s definitely worth a read! Over at IBMadison.com, former Republican U.S. Senate candidate Terrence Wall has posted yet another missive about his time as a candidate for the U.S. Senate, this time focusing on why [...]

Remember when right-wing commenter “Steve T.” told me to “follow the money” http://bloggingblue.com/2010/08/13/president-obama-supports-mosque-near-911-site/comment-page-1/#comment-31022>not once, but twice in reference to who was funding the Islamic center near Ground Zero? I remember Steve’s challenges to me quite vividly, and while I didn’t “follow the money,” Jon Stewart did, and something tells me Steve-O isn’t going to [...]

Via Milwaukee News Buzz and through the illusory tenant comes this nugget (emphasis mine): [Milwaukee pastor "Apostle" David King] also wants to use [the Wisconsin secretary of state's office] as a platform for community outreach. The outreach, however, would be done by expanding God Squad. King denied that such a plan would constitute an [...]

Speaking to the editorial board of the Racine Journal Times on Friday, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ron Johnson made it abundantly clear he’s no fan of the First Amendment when it comes to freedom of religion, noting it would be “incredibly unfortunate” if a mosque was built in New York City blocks away from [...]

This entry is directed at those among my readers who’ve expressed their opposition to the placement of an Islamic center several blocks away from the site of the former World Trade Center. It’s been written by commenters here and elsewhere that putting a mosque/Islamic center so close to the site of the 9/11 attacks [...]

Cue the right-wing outrage brigade in 3….2….1…. President Obama threw his support behind a controversial proposal to build an Islamic center and mosque near New York’s ground zero, saying Friday that “Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country.”
“That includes the right to build a place [...]

David Boies nails “pretty boy” Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council on Face the Nation about the recent court decision on Proposition 8. Somehow Tony Perkins needs to heed the name of his organization “Research” and conduct scientific research to prove how gays and lesbians getting married harm children or harm heterosexual marriages – something he and his ilk on the far right have failed to do over and over again. Just think of George Rekers and his bag handling Rent Boy to understand the type of research that these charlatans on the right are capable of when it comes to understanding the social dynamics of gay and lesbian marriages. As the recent movie with Julianne Moore and Annette Bening about two lesbian mothers states “The Kids are All Right”. As countless married couples, both straight and gay co-existing without the collapse of Belgium, the Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and more recently Argentina have proven, gay and lesbian marriages are all right too.

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing and screaming at representatives from this screwed up religion when they were protesting at events in the past. Their hateful religion deserves to be condemned by everyone. [...]

For those of you not following it, we have yet another case of right wing religious hypocrisy a.l.a. Ted Haggard, Larry Craig or countless other “anti-gay” redeemers who have made one of their life missions to attack the very thing they deny in themselves, that they are gay or at least love male sex. Family man and Reverend George Rekers who co-founded the Family Research Council with James Dobson, espouses gay conversion therapy as a board member of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuals (NARTH) and is a regular consultant to anti-gay initiatives around the country; was revealed to have hired an escort for a ten day trip to Europe.
