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.

Michigan: if you stray, you may be locked away

by: Pam Spaulding

Mon Jan 15, 2007 at 20:30:00 PM EST


Forgive them, for the adulterers in charge know not what they do up there in Michigan. (Freep.com):
In a ruling sure to make philandering spouses squirm, Michigan's second-highest court says that anyone involved in an extramarital fling can be prosecuted for first-degree criminal sexual conduct, a felony punishable by up to life in prison.

"We cannot help but question whether the Legislature actually intended the result we reach here today," Judge William Murphy wrote in November for a unanimous Court of Appeals panel, "but we are curtailed by the language of the statute from reaching any other conclusion."

"Technically," he added, "any time a person engages in sexual penetration in an adulterous relationship, he or she is guilty of CSC I," the most serious sexual assault charge in Michigan's criminal code.

Boy, this could put a lot of holy golden peepees in the Big House. huh? If you're down with OPP, you're in a heap of s-h-i-t.

What happened? Apparently this ruling stemmed from the case of a man accused of trading Rush's drug of choice, Oxycontin pills, for sex with a cocktail waitress. He was charged under an obscure provision of Michigan's criminal law.

The irony is that the state Attorney General, Mike Cox, actually confessed to an adulterous relationship himself in 2005.  The provision he triggered states that it is first-degree criminal sexual conduct if "sexual penetration occurs under circumstances involving the commission of any other felony."

No one actually expects prosecutors to declare open season on straying spouses, but they better watch out -- the fundies love to ensure enforcement of laws like this.

Hat tip, Scott.

AIDERS AND ABETTORS
Does this mean that motel owners where adulterous trysts take places and their housekeepers who change the sheets afterwards are also liable?

Good thing the Supreme Court overturned sodomy laws or we'd all be in trouble - adulterers or not.


to add to alan's comment......
would bars and night-clubs also be considered as aiders and abettors under  this law?  what about liquor companies!  cuz heck they met in the club, had some drinks... then went to the motel-6 down the road.

I like the preceding two commets.
Yep, charge those who tender aid too.  There is a precedent for this.  Samuel Mudd set John Wilkes Booth leg and even though he didn't know who Booth was, he was found guilty of complicity and imprisoned.  Best friends of adulterers should also be imprisoned.  Even if they weren't told of the adultery, it's their duty to know.

Prosecute, prosecute, prosecute
Curious how this would apply only to people in heterosexual marriages -- from which adultery would occur -- since homosexual marriages are not legal in Michigan.  Maybe it's time for a witch hunt in the Great Lakes State.  To make a point.  Particularly for all those people who were upset by Lawrence v. Texas. 

More details please!
And not sexual ones, either.

What was the case that led to this decision?  Is it being appealed?  And by whom?  Is the ACLU involved?  The Family Research Council?

Finally someone is getting serious...
...about the "sanctity of marriage"!

"Our Liberties We Prize and Our Rights We Will Maintain" -- Iowa state motto

While...
I definitely don't agree with cheating on your spouse/significant other, this is, um, bonkers.

How would this be regulated? What about a rape victim being tried for it? God knows proving rape can be hard enough, but tagging on the possility of being prosecuted for a crime you had no control over will surely lead to a lot shitty misogynistic crap going on.

But hey, today life imprisonment - tomorrow, stoning! Yippee!


Off topic, but...
...regarding the marriage inequality state amendments, here's something that Thomas Jefferson once said:

"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine."

This is why you need a Constitution and you need a population educated about that Constitution.

As Winston Churchill once said, "The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter."


Or, as Heinlein wrote...
"Democracy is the idea that a million men are wiser than one... Autocracy is the idea that one man is wiser than a million... Wait a minute, who decides?"

The Founders definitely had a fear of the "bread and circuses" of mob rule.  Thus so many checks and balances on the power of the majority (as well as an appointed upper house to balance the popularly-elected lower house).

"If people let government decide which foods they eat and medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny." -- Thomas Jefferson

How does that shoe feel on the other foot, eh?

home of the retarded.

Letter of the Law!

Yup, especially if that adulterer is a Democrat.  I don't anticipate much call for prosecuting your average adulterous Republican politician or preacher.  After all, we just don't have the manpower, courts, or jail space to keep up.

Remember, these are the people who scream "Letter of the Law" when it comes to impeaching a popular president who lied to a grand jury about a blowjob, but remain silent against a failure of a president who lied to the country about the reasons for getting 3,000 soldiers killed.
