Lying Sacks of S*** of The Week: “Christian” Pregnancy Centers

http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/08/08/lying-sacks-of-s-of-the-week-christian-pregnancy-centers/

Snip:
"What Would Jesus Lie About? The answer would appear to be “just about everything”, if a woman goes into a taxpayer-funded Crisis Pregnancy Center and asks a question:

“When a woman walked into a state-funded “crisis pregnancy center” in Manassas, Va., this summer and told the counselor she might be pregnant, she was told that condoms don’t actually prevent STDs and that birth control frequently causes hair loss, memory loss, headaches, weight gain, fatal blood clots and breast cancer.”

FreedomWorks Wants ObamaCare to Fail, so they can Make Money for Themselves.

http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2013/08/08/freedomworks-wants-obamacare-to-fail-so-they-can-make-money-for-themselves/

Snip:
"FreedomWorks, a “Conservative” “Republican” organization, is not working for freedom - not for your freedom, anyway. They are funded by industry groups, and their mission is to remove the last teensy shreds of regulation from the marketplace so they can mulct the last coppers from our pockets.

Their latest stunt: to have people refuse to buy health insurance, and to burn fake “ObamaCare” cards as a “protest”. Really. That is what they are promoting. Yes, they want you to risk death or bankruptcy and look like an ignorant fool. Gentle Reader, does this sound like an organization with your best interests at heart?

Of course not. The next question is “whose interests are they advancing?” And the response to that, is, of course, their own. For example, they have made money by selling near-worthless health insurance products in the past."

"Shameless" doesn't even begin to describe it. Two generations of Cheneys gaming Wyoming's residency requirements for political gain.

May he burn in Hell for his many failings. But for this one, he should be provided with an extra hod of brimstone.

Republicans Ignore the Law, and Harass Gays for Being Gay (X-Post from GD)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023413601

Snips:

"Those same “Republicans” who want the government off our backs want that same government to dictate what we do when one of us is on our back. So, they are jailing people for being gay, and never mind what the Supreme Court says. "

"The constitutional rights of gays are being violated (as seen here). The constitutional rights of women are being violated (reproductive matters). The constitutional rights of all Americans are being violated (via the NSA monitoring programs). We are all at risk, people, regardless of skin color, chromosomes, or any other characteristic you might care to consider."

Since Rick Perry, Ted Cruz and John Cornyn don’t care about Texas, Obama does their Job for Them

http://bluntandcranky.a.com/2013/08/05/since-rick-perry-ted-cruz-and-john-cornyn-sg-care-about-texas-obama-does-their-job-for-them/

Snips:
"Since Obama isn’t beholden to these industries, he is free to act: first, he told the regulatory agencies to, well, regulate for a frickin’ change; and he also put the smack on FEMA, making them give West disaster relief.

So, yay for the Prexy and all that. He has done good work here. The real question is: why won’t the “Republican public servants” that Texas keeps electing do that good work themselves?"
