Alabama....a pattern is emerging.  That pattern being that southerners are fucking morons.

People like that make me sad ._.

I think we should ban pastors from marrying and see how they like it

WTF!

Wisconsin Republican says marriage decision insults Christians who died in the ‘religious’ Civil War

This line caught my eye.

“Our president during the Civil War was, of course, Abraham Lincoln, who was known as the most biblical of presidents — somebody who quoted the Bible a lot,” Grothman said.

Actually, moron.  No.

My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures, have become clearer and stronger with advancing years and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them.
-- Abraham Lincoln


The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession.
-- Abraham Lincoln


Oh, that [his Thanksgiving Message] is some of Seward's nonsense, and it pleases the fools.
-- Abraham Lincoln, to Judge James M Nelson, in response to a question from Nelson: "I once asked him about his fervent Thanksgiving Message and twitted him with being an unbeliever in what was published." Quoted from Franklin Steiner, The Religious Beliefs of Our Presidents, p. 138

And there is nothing truer in American politics than the fact that "the fools" need pleasing....witness today's republicunt party.

I think I dropped this in another thread, but will put it hear for the sake of posterity:

“Today is some of the darkest 24 hours in our nation’s history,” Cruz said on Sean Hannity's radio show. “Yesterday and today were both naked and shameless judicial activism.”

And he is not unique.  They're all pretty much morons.

On queue:

On Tuesday, he (Mike Huckabee) released a three-step plan on how, if he became president, he would defend those who support traditional marriage. The plan includes:

• Signing religious liberty executive orders. The executive orders would protect businesses, churches, universities and other entities from discrimination or civil or criminal penalties for exercising their religious beliefs in support of traditional marriage, according to the release by Huckabee’s campaign.

• Prosecuting hate crimes against people of faith. The release said that Huckabee, if elected president, would direct the U.S. Attorney General to prosecute as hate crimes groups or individuals who discriminated or attacked individuals, businesses, religious organizations and others for their religious beliefs about marriage.

• Defending people of faith in the U.S. military. Huckabee would direct the Secretary of Defense to support military chaplains and “not force them to participate in ceremonies they find objectionable on religious grounds,” the release said.

Also from the article:

 Huckabee, on ABC’s This Week With George Stephanopoulos on Sunday, predicted opponents of same-sex marriage will continue to fight against the court’s ruling, using civil disobedience tactics similar to that of Martin Luther King, Jr.

How can someone be so out of touch to reference MLK's work as a template to organize overt discrimination?

He's an inbred idiot from Arkansas, that's how.

Experts agree; Scalia is a pig
