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.

Bobby 'Exorcist' Jindal ready to sign off on stealth creationism bill

by: Pam Spaulding

Fri Jun 27, 2008 at 13:00:00 PM EDT


McCain's VP short-lister continues the march to turn back the hands of time --and enhance his fundnut cred -- by supporting a Louisiana bill that will advance intelligent design. (Talk2Action):
The stealth-creationist SB 733, the "Louisiana Science Education Act," which in its pre-amended version as SB 561 was entitled the "LA Academic Freedom Act," received final passage in the Louisiana legislature on June 16, 2008, and is now (June 26) on Gov. Bobby Jindal's desk. The governor can either sign it, allow it to become law without his signature, or veto it. Gov. Jindal, who in his June 15 appearance on Face the Nation reiterated his previously voiced support for teaching intelligent design (ID) creationism, is expected to sign the bill. At the behest of the LA Coalition for Science, e-mail petitioners from across the country and national scientific organizations have urged him to veto it. Both the New York Times and National Review columnist John Derbyshire have also publicly called for Jindal to veto the bill. Since Louisiana's passage of SB 733 could be a bellwether for such "academic freedom" legislation, advocates for science education and church-and-state separation in other states had better start preparing now.
The bill was introduced by winger Sen. Ben Nevers (Bogalusa, LA) on behalf of an arm of Focus on the Anus called the Louisiana Family Forum (LFF):
It is probably not an exaggeration to say that the majority of Louisiana legislators support the LFF's agenda, and that those who do not support it have had the "fear of the Lord" put into them, knowing what they will face politically in the next election if they cross the LFF. One very telling piece of evidence for this is the fact that not a single Louisiana public official anywhere in the state, either elected or appointed, has so far been willing to speak out against SB 733 and in favor of good science education. When Louisiana scientists and educators from public schools and universities testified against SB 733 before both the House and Senate Education Committees, they had no vocal defenders on either committee and were virtually ignored during the periods in which legislators were allowed to question the witnesses. (Three House members, one of whom was on the House Education Committee, later voted against the bill on the House floor but offered no statements or questions during the vote.)

Those who support "intelligent design"...
By their very existence disprove the theory.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même merde.

Keep the People Stupid
They're easier to control.

Welcome to Medieval America.

Besser ein ende mit Schrecken als ein Schrecken ohne ende


I grew up in Bossier City
and it doesn't surprise me that no public official is speaking up against this.  The electorate would have their heads if they did.  The Christian Coalition controlled the school boards in three-fourths of the parishes in the state when I lived there - I can't imagine that much has changed.

I went to Louisiana public schools.  My high school biology teacher told us that since evolution was "such a touchy subject" she was just going to skip it.  And she did.  It's a wonder I can chew up my own food.  


In Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District
Parents got together and sued the school, barring intelligent design from being taught. Maybe the same can happen here.

I doubt they'll have the guts to
anyone who does take this tact will be lucky if all that's done to them is that they get run out of state.  So. . . when will the flat earth society's petition be filed?

[ Parent ]
It's already signed.
If he's supposed to be one of the new faces of the Republican party, he's looking a bit too much like one of the old ones.  Pander to the rabid religious right, check.
Ignore requests to do something to prevent something that doesn't have any basis in reality (like Iraq with WMDs), check.
Act arrogant and smug on tv, check.

Can he construct a coherent sentence that hasn't been written for him?  He may be different in that respect...

Or
Can he construct a coherent sentence that hasn't been written for him?

Can he read a sentence written for him, correctly??  He may be different in that respect..

Good point.
Ah, no more Bushisms in a few months...

My America includes LGBT families.

LA may exorcise Jindal from office.

Public anger over a legislative pay raise has bubbled up in the past two weeks, with several House members targeted with recall petitions. Lawmakers during the recent legislative session raised their base salary from $16,800 to $37,500 effective July 1.

Jindal has been criticized for his inability to stop the raise before it was passed and his refusal since then to veto the pay raise bill. He had pledged during his campaign last year to prohibit an immediate legislative pay raise, but now appears to be willing to let that happen. The governor has until July 8 to veto the bill or it will become law.
