The clear subtext of this post is that elderly people are annoying, and I think this is ageist and very disrespectful.

Rush Limbaugh:

“Gay marriage is really disapproved in Islam,” Limbaugh recently blabbered on his radio program. “Gay marriage, homosexual behavior is not tolerated, it is not permitted, and it is punished severely when it is caught, when it’s spied.”

“And yet,” he continued, “in American media all over the place we are celebrating gay marriage, we are flaunting gay marriage, and I ask, does this not also offend Muslims?”

“Instead of telling the gay couple that you refuse to bake the cake for their wedding because you disapprove of homosexuality,” he said, “you should now say you are not going to bake a cake for the gay wedding because you fear Muslim backlash.”

Better yet, he said, tell them you cannot bake a cake “due to your respect of Islam.”

“Any of you small business owners who think you’re gonna get a visit from a gay couple asking you for your product or service at a gay wedding just say, ‘Nah, nah, nah, we refuse because of our respect of Islam. We can’t.’ Don’t say anything about your religion. Don’t say anything about it’s your religion that prevents you from doing it. Say it’s Islam.”

I'm confused. Is he giving a playbook on how to discriminate in a way that people will find politically correct or is he suggesting that gay people mock Islam the same way that "draw Mohammed" contests do? I feel like it's a bit of both.

I think he's saying that christians should be more like his caricature of fundamental islamic folks and hate as many people as can be justified through twisted logic.

He's simply pointing that below the surface, all fundamentalists are the same.

oh and a 20 week abortion ban was passed by the House, with lots of little rules about who is and isn't worthy of an exemption.


someone explain to me like i'm a 6 year old what the 24-72 hour 'waiting periods' are about in all these states (and the 48 hour waiting period for a rape victim to see a crisis counselor before they have an abortion). What is the logic?

It is good to get the Democratic Party on the record with their extreme views on abortion that are out of step with those of the American people.

who do you think gets an abortion after 20 weeks? someone where something has HAPPENED and something's gone wrong. there's not a huge conspiracy to abort babies after 20 weeks. Kermit Gosnell is not every doctor, either.

The Great Stephanopoulos Mess

This checks pretty much every box. Anti-mainstream media, anti-Clinton, major MSM outlet doing things they'd castigate others for doing in leaking the story. Not Dan Rather, but still this story has given me a lot of joy today.
