Gay Death And Dying

GOP Dave Agema's Rant: Gays want ‘free medical because they're dying’:

...What is obscene is Dave Agema’s account of gays at American Airlines where he worked. He claimed that a gay person would claim another as a lover to get medical benefits. “Folks, they (gay people) want free medical because they’re dying (when they’re) between 30 and 44 years old,” he said. “To me, it’s a moral issue. It’s a Biblical issue. Traditional marriage is where it should be and it’s in our platform. Those in our party who oppose traditional marriage are wrong...”

Wendy Truthers: The Latest GOP Stoopid

Meet the Wendy Davis truthers - Salon.com:

Wendy Davis claims to be a Democratic state senator representing Texas’ 10th district, but what does the public really know about her? Sure, the public knows that she stood and talked for more than 11 hours in order to block a vote on a sweeping measure that would have made (and may still make) abortion virtually unavailable in Texas. And yeah, OK, the public knows that she is a Harvard-educated lawyer with a history of advocacy for women’s health and reproductive rights.

But, does the public know if she’s a natural blonde? Or if she wears eyeliner? No, they do not — and that’s where the Wendy Davis truthers come in...

Killing Your Daughter

Uppity Woman recounts this appalling tale before this summary bit:

Cockroach of the week is a No Contest – Saudi Arabian degenerate rapes, tortures and murders his own child. « Uppity Woman

...Only when tortured Middle Eastern women rise up and kill the oppressive animals who torture them — in their sleep — on the same night –will they be able to live in peace and dignity. Because this is what a barbaric repressive theocracy does to women and girls.

Don’t expect our Pravda press to make a big deal of what happened to a five-year old girl at the claws of a monster in Saudi Arabia. Or that creatures with the same depraved mentality as this clinically insane “preacher’ move to the USA without a second look. That would be blasphemy or something. And they wonder why gun sales continue to rise among women. But hey! How about that Kim Kardashian!

RIP little girl. You’re probably better off dead than alive in Saudi Arabia.

Thank God we live in the USA, warts and all.

Right Wing Fetus Lunacy

Today In Right Wing Lunacy we present some of the stupidest crap ever uttered by the mouth of anyone. Not content just to explore the boundaries of stupidity and ignorance, Mr. Swanson reaches into the Horror Twilight Zone to find zombie fetuses, giving the universe visuals that even bleach could not expunge from the minds scalded by this grotesque nonsense. And no, both sides don't have this level of utter contempt for women.

On The Pill? Tiny Dead Fetuses Are Eating Your Innards

...Swanson: I’m beginning to get some evidence from certain doctors and certain scientists that have done research on women’s wombs after they’ve gone through the surgery, and they’ve compared the wombs of women who were on the birth control pill to those who were not on the birth control pill. And they have found that with women who are on the birth control pill, there are these little tiny fetuses, these little babies, that are embedded into the womb. They’re just like dead babies. They’re on the inside of the womb. And these wombs of women who have been on the birth control pill effectively have become graveyards for lots and lots of little babies...

Column: Republicans' culture war lost

After Tuesday's election, if Republicans are smart, they will realize that the culture war just isn't working out for them any longer. Republicans leaned as heavily as ever on social issues and paid the price at the polls. After decades of rewarding Republicans with votes for their scare-mongering over abortion and homosexuality, voters finally turned to social conservatives and said, "Enough..."

A Referendum on "Legitimate Rape": Akin, Mourdock Defeated | PR Watch

The people of Missouri and Indiana were, in effect, given a referendum on "legitimate rape" on election day, and they soundly rejected the concept by defeating U.S. Senate candidates Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock. The two legislators had stirred controversy over their verbal attempts to characterize the validity of a rape victim's experience in order to push forward their anti-abortion agendas.

The extremists lost badly, while a historic number of women swept into the U.S. Senate, turning the tide in the "war on women." The Obama campaign's heavy focus on women's issues for the past year appears to have paid off with CNN reporting an 18-point gender gap nationally this election, more than his 12-point gender gap in 2008...

The only question would be whether he could forge ahead into traditionally red states, like Georgia, Montana and Arizona...
