I have never seen anyone so driven by other people’s genitals as Pruritans like you, Kate. Sniffing them to find out what sort of pleasurable sensations, if any, they’ve been experiencing over whom, what, why, and how often, appears to occupy all your waking hours and drive all your political decisions. Our country is not so “tender” it needs your censorship to survive. In fact, if Pruritans like you had had their way, Walt Whitman could never have uttered a word about it.

“Conservatives share your hatred of corporations who only see money. Why did not the current admin prosecute thousands in the financial debacle of 2008? Why aren’t people in jail for treason for their behavior?”

First, most conservatives accept the nonsensical trash spewed by the hard core right that corporations are godly because they are capatilistic. Second, President Obama did not go after Wall Street because he needs their campaign contributions to counter the republicans who won’t go after white collar criminals for the same reason. Pardon my cynicism.

“Why did not Barack Obama take his leadership opportunity to lead? Why are 70% of black children born to single mothers now?”

Are you serious? From day 1, Mitch McConnell and his crew of clowns mocked President Obama as a “rock star.” As far as single mothers go you are being disingenuous. Just like the war on drugs has been a failure, the attempt at making sure children are raised in a stable 2 parent household has been a failure. Why? Because you can’t talk the talk about family values, you have to walk the walk.

Tort reform is a nonissue. I’m glad there are lawyers out there willing to take on corporations and other leaches who prey on the weak. The right wants tort reform to take away your right and my right at redress. If there is tort reform the true legal eagles wouldn’t take on the cases that matter.

Psalm 2? Helloooo, Heathen here. Try the Nine Noble Virtues. Read the Icelandic Sagas or the Prose or Poetic Edda, but don’t sing me no psalms!

When the racist bigotry of the “Good Christians” – who deny black/African-American people jobs and discriminate against them all week, and then praise Jesus on Sunday ends – then you’ll see changes in the numbers of single mothers. When there are better jobs and better treatment for the urban poor, you’ll see those numbers drop significantly. When corporations are forced to pay a living wage and not outsource all of the jobs to a place where they can keep people in debt peonage for the rest of their lives, and make them work 80 plus hour weeks for a few dollars a day… then you’ll see those numbers drop.

The preachers have been pushing the “Personal Failure” lie for generations – it comes out of old-school Calvinist thinking which teaches “God rewards obedience with good things and punishes sin with suffering and poverty”… and the idea also is tied to the idea of the “elect” (from the early days of the Pilgrims – you could get some idea if you were going to heaven or not by how prosperous you are). The fact is, poverty is caused primarily by the greed of the rich, and by elites making bad decisions that benefit them but hurt the 99% (and if you’d actually read your Bible, you’d know this). It’s kind of hard to have birth control when you’re poor, especially with the war the Republicans and “Good Christians” have been waging on poor women. You don’t like women having sex outside of marriage? Too bad – it’s their decision and not yours. You don’t like women having children while not married – well, you have two choices. Either stop fighting against them getting help with birth control, or shut up about it and accept that you really are wanting to take away their rights.

Psalm 2? Like the “Good Christians”, you’ve resorted to Bible verses as if I have to obey them or something. There are atheists, pagans, Buddhists, and others on this blog, so leave the Bible pounding out.

BTW… you come in here spewing hatred, and then say it’s non-Christian to hate gays. Well, on the latter you’re right, but you’re calling yourself a non-Christian.

In fact, from your words, I wonder if you’re upset that the person you call a friend is gay, and thus not “available”. That would be about par for the course.
