Blend-o-licious endorsements...



The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

LDS candidate touts Mormon-only male-only campaign rallies

by: Chino Blanco

Tue Dec 22, 2009 at 12:00:00 PM EST


( - promoted by Pam Spaulding)

From Rexburg's Standard Journal:
Idaho gubernatorial candidate Rex Rammell will be mixing what he calls doctrines from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints into his gubernatorial campaign in a series of meetings slated for LDS elders only.

In January, Rammell will kick off a series of special meetings targeted specifically at "faithful priesthood-holders of the LDS Church" to discuss the so-called "White Horse" prophecy.

Borrowing a line more commonly used by the LDS leadership to explain Mormon temple ceremonies, the candidate described his rallies as sacred, not secret:
"There is nothing secret about the meeting -- it's just the sacred nature of the things we will be talking about," said Rammell. "We are going to talk about (LDS Church founder) Joseph Smith's prophecy that the Constitution will be hanging by a thread and that the Latter-day Saint elders will step forward and save it."
Mormon women are barred from holding the LDS priesthood, but the GOP hopeful provided a further explanation for their exclusion from the campaign meetings:
Rammell said that though LDS women were not invited because of lack of space, he hopes that the men will take the message home to their wives.

And what message might some critics take home from Rammell's announcement?  As the Standard Journal notes: "In the past, Rammell has been criticized for using his faith to further his campaign."

Whether the aspiring Republican is guilty of that in this instance will be the subject of in-depth follow-up coverage by the Standard Journal, just as soon as its reporters have obtained the ecclesiastical clearance required to attend Rammell campaign events.

In other Mormon news:

Utah native and Brigham Young University alumnus Matthew S. Petersen has been elected to serve as chairman of the Federal Election Commission in 2010.

David J. Harmer, Mormon congressional candidate: The Spirit prompted me to run, because I am strong like Captain Moroni.

(Gen. JC Christian, patriot, provides additional commentary:  Captain Moroni for Congress)

And ... Meet Ben McAdams, Utah's newest state senator:

Ben McAdams, a senior adviser for Salt Lake Mayor Ralph Becker, will become Utah's newest state senator ...

McAdams, who is married and the father of three children, told the delegates he would work for fairness and equality.

"I plan to be a visible ally for gay and transgendered Utahns," he said. "We are agents of change."

More Mormons like Ben McAdams, please.

Update: Rex Rammell describes official LDS church disapproval of his tactics as "ridiculous":

An LDS church spokesman has released this statement:

"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is politically neutral and does not endorse or promote any candidate party or platform.

Accordingly, we hope that the campaign practices of political candidates would not suggest that their candidacy is supported by or connected to the church."

Rex:

"We are in America's second Revolutionary War to save our freedom, which we paid for with blood. We need God's help and I'm not ashamed to ask for it ... It is time we rise up and defend the Constitution. In order to motivate my fellow LDS Elders, I've invited many to attend meetings to discuss Joseph Smith's prophecies and how we can help save the Constitution.

Some people ... think it is inappropriate for me to hold such meetings. I think that is ridiculous."

WOW, its not like it's a racist and bigoted issue or anything, It's actually very spiritual....
Between threat of the expansion of gay rights and a newly elected black democratic president, the country's constitution is only now hanging by a thread? Bu tit wasn't a year ago when the Republicans where in power and we had two expanding wars, a rapidly contracting economy, The collapse of the global financial market as a whole, and a President so hated and untrusted by the rest of the world they gave his replacement a noble prize just for not being Bush. ""White" horse prophecy indeed!"

Always thinking about it...

Women vote too
Hear that Rommel...er...Rammell?

Good time to recruit LDS women
to Lesbianism and Pagninsm, as well as to the Democratic party

I tell you Chica that no greater abomination exists than women denying their spirit of sisterhood and instead becoming the oppressor. -Rebeca, Universidad Complutense de Madrid

From my cousins and their wives and kids, I don't think they are easily attracted away from "THE CHURCH"
About all you can hope for is they are LAX Mormon, who don't buy any of the religion, just play the game of staying Mormon for business and social contacts.

at what point does this violate tax-exempt rules?
WRT no endorsement of parties or candidates by churches or nonprofits?

Hello? FEC? IRS?

Put not your trust in princes.
-- Psalm 146:3


That's an excellent question
And one that has been ignored for a while. I'm sure there are a number of impressive excuses based on convoluted logic.

Hey, I like a sausage party as much as the next guy, but:
Really? The Mormons believe they would be the saviors of the Constitution? These are the people that keep sneaking into my gated community to knock on my door and try to speak to me about their religion. Call me a cynic, but I doubt there's much these folks would do to uphold the First Amendment.

Also, hooray for Ben McAdams. If only all Mormons who knocked on my door were like that. Maybe, then, they'd stick around after I asked my fiancé if he wanted to hear the religious people talk.

You know, I bet if the Constitution came with illustrations, we wouldn't have even half the trouble we do today.


There's something deeply creepy
about someone who wants to "represent" (i.e. make decisions which affect) everyone, but who only wants to talk about their plans with only a select group.  It's bad enough when Obama/Bush/Clinton/etc. negotiates potential laws and rules with corporate types behind closed doors; we pretty much know their motives (money, money, and more money).  When it's an authoritarian religious group, though, that just ups the creep factor by an order of magnitude.

Say what you will about Rex
but he does have quite a gay porn star name.  I'm sure they don't want us "little ladies" around for their "meeting".
