You forgot the barf alert!

I’m not a big Erik Ericson fan, but to call him a “sexually insecure sad sack” really seems a bit of a reach.

Anyone ask accused pederast Harry Reid what he thinks about all this?

And I’ll also say this, being a homosexual is not as bad as killing a baby in utero.

(Probably get flamed bad for what I’ve said here, so just let me add: Mitt Romney!)

Another boring diatribe from Joan Walsh. On the bright side, reading her columns do wonders for insomnia!

I kinda zoned out halfway thru reading. This tends to happen when leftists start calling us extremists and homophobes.

Hobby Lobby is giving them fits. Their spoiled adolescent behavior is entertaining, but it is also tragic

Why would you get flamed. Homosexual acts are far less offensive than the murder of unborn children. Both ARE MORALLY REPREHENCEABLE BUT ONLY ONE INVOLVES THE INTENTIONAL KILLING OF AN INNOCENT.

I voted for Mitt. Wished he’d won.

Let me give a very special Viennacon commentary highlight

“one state after another has legalized gay marriage, with occasional help from the Supreme Court”

What the crap? They have ALL been at the behest of radical judges taking advantage of the DOMA ruling. This is just bizzaro fantasy land.

“Women make up at least half of LGBT folks”

Not true. Lesbians are a clear minority in this made up community.

“Not all conservatives celebrate marriage equality, not yet”

Not all squares are circle... not yet!

““Beyonce voters” (Way to get race in there too, Jesse!)”

Mentioning Beyonce now somehow racist?

“But it’s not clear that women can be mobilized fast enough to protect their own rights.”

Sound the alarm! The American Taliban don’t want to pay for your slutty lifestyle!

“we never developed any kind of widely available subsidized childcare or preschool”

Thank God!

“they need husbands to avoid being raped, beaten or murdered.”

No they don’t. According to Democrats, they can just pi$$ themselves, and the rapist will flee in terror.

I am enjoying the rage, as much as I dislike what Alito has written. The carve out for ‘discrimination’ was ridiculous.

If it’s Salon, HuffPo or the Daily Beast, then it’s a post by 2ndDivisionVet.

I’ve only posted one or two threads from HuffandBlow since I found out we can post from there now. I do Daily Caller far more often than Daily Beast and the Breitbarts much more than Salon. I am one of the few that posts from Thy Black Man, the Atlanta Black Star, News One, the Grio and New York Amsterdam News. I also do al Jazeera and the Gulf News from time to time.

Me too, me too. Seems like many agree with us now, now that it is a moot point.

Oh, and speaking of Salon, keep an eye out for my next thread. It’s even worse than Joan, but thankfully it is shorter.

Yesterday I heard it described as “LGBTQ”.

“Q” for questioning.

Oh, I thought the “Q” was for queer. Goes to show how much I know. Where’s the “P” for paedophile?

Hiding behind the “B”.

The faulty premise is that women are leaving the Republican Party, which is untrue. Single women are a growing part of the dependency class. The dependency class correctly perceives that Republicans are [roughly] a small[er] government party and that Democrats aren't.

The shift of single women to the Democrat Party to pay for their goodies is a matter of what they perceive as their short-term self interest, and is not "cultural" except in the sense that dependency is no longer regarded as deplorable.

That's really where we lost the "culture." Persuading the dependency class that handouts are neither in their real short- nor long- term interest is where we are failing. Nothing is free. Too many people lack fathers who used to impart that very simple instruction.

All they can talk about is sex, abortion, and race. They’re in a whirling frenzy because they have to face their delusions and are terrified.
