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.
--Impeach Bush


who monitors yours Bevis ?? Just thought I would drop you a line,so the rest of your life is not wasted.

Haggard: 'I'm completely heterosexual'

by: Pam Spaulding

Tue Feb 06, 2007 at 11:00:00 AM EST


The fastest ex-gay conversion ever -- no three-to-five years of godly, clean men inserting  themselves into his life to help him pray away the gay. Are you convinced?
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The Rev. Ted Haggard emerged from three weeks of intensive counseling convinced he is "completely heterosexual" and told an oversight board that his sexual contact with men was limited to his accuser.

That is according to one of the disgraced pastor's overseers, who on Monday revealed new details about where Haggard has been and where he is headed. Haggard is being asked to join a church wherever the couple moves and continue the Christian counseling he receives twice a week, Ralph said.

...The oversight board that includes Ralph is focusing on New Life Church's future but continues to counsel Haggard.

What has been termed Haggard's "restoration" is being overseen by another panel: H.B. London, who runs a Focus on the Family ministry to pastors, and megachurch pastors Tommy Barnett and Jack Hayford.

One of his counselors bragged that: "He is completely heterosexual...That is something he discovered. It was the acting-out situations where things took place. It wasn't a constant thing."

As Blender KT said: "He's not gay (though he still has no explanation for why he sought out a MALE prostitute). Sure. And pigs can fly."

Well, he could be bisexual, but he also ruled that out in his definitive e-statement on the matter. As long as the man has access to the hallowed internets, his fingers will probably do the walking to "forbidden areas" when wifey's fast asleep. After all, he's getting his psych degree online. He'll be studying, you know.

But is he completely poor?
Poverty is Jesus's way.  The Christ chose to be poor.  Why won't Haggard follow in Jesus's footsteps and foresake his wealth?

In a sense...
Yes, he is poor - very poor.  His poverty is the poverty that comes from a complete lack of personal honesty (to himself).

He may enjoy worldly wealth, but it will be a very empty existence, I suspect.


[ Parent ]
more like ...
his soul is poor.

And isn't that the whole reason he became a pastor.  To focus on his soul?


[ Parent ]
What a shame
really, now this is a total sham....um shame.

He belongs in a mental institution
If there is anything obvious about this case, it is the utter mental rape of human beings by fake "Christians" who will do anything to fill a collection plate and furnish a new Mc-mansion.

duh, this is the MOST obvious!
What you write is SO true!
These mental cases are running today's church's.  And they also want to run our government!

As Blender KT said: "He's not gay (though he still has no explanation for why he sought out a MALE prostitute). Sure. And pigs can fly."
Christ almighty.  Funny that the church is the one place Tweaker Ted is always willing to get on his knees.

Charley sez ---- Bat sh*t crazies amuse me!

Poor man
I would call the whole restoration thing he's going through psychological abuse, but I'm just a layperson, not a professional.

I will be amazed if he comes out of this situation completely sane.


I wrote earlier...
My friend who is a highly-respected clinical psychologist had the following to say on the issue:

"I've saved an article for you from the current President of the Division of Clinical Psychology of the American Psychological Association.  He reports he would recommend that no psychologist attempt sexual orientation change therapy, since the procedure itself does harm because it presupposes disorder.  It would be like me trying to stop a person who lost a loved one from grieving that loss."

He also pointed out that those who perform this kind of therapy lose their APA credentials. They are certainly guilty of malpractice. But, they have their clients sign releases that waive their right to sue.

When you look for the bad in mankind, expecting to find it, you surely will.

- Abraham Lincoln.

lose their APA credentials
you presume they had some to begin with.  my guess is that their only credentials are 'faith' and a marketing plan.

[ Parent ]
Hell no I'm not convinced!
If I was in his shoes, I'd say ANYTHING to just get them to leave me alone.  I can only imagine what kind of hell his life has been like since this blowup.  I'd be surprised if they let him go to the bathroom alone.

Callie,
Haggard probably wasn't even allowed to hold his own golden peepee to pee his golden pee.  One of those who guarded his heterosupremacy probably had to hold that peepee while Haggard peed.


[ Parent ]
I would not be suprised
if one of those heterosupremacy guards also held his golden oysters so that they could have a "purity ball".

False Witness
Is there no end to the lies these people will perpetuate? Ted Haggard is completely heterosexual? Oh, Bitch, PLEASE.

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move."

Douglas Adams - 'The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy'  


Let's hear from the Mrs.
At the very least, his wife has to acknowledge she's touching his nasty privates again. Of course, that wouldn't prove anything except she's crazier than he is.

"He'll be studying, you know."
If he's a little rusty in schooly things, he can get lots of valuable assistance in study methodology here.

I get it!
I totally get it now!  It all makes perfect sense why a "100% heterosexual" pastor would pay a male hooker many times over several years for sexual "contact" during "acting-out sessions."  Haggard was taking acting lessons! 

See, I hear that some of the actors, or models (whatever), in those homosexual pornographic features are actually heterosexual young men who are *pretending* to be gay for a pre-agreed amount of money.  Perhaps Rev. H was simply preparing to follow in the steps of Porno Pete, but one-upping him by appearing in actual porn rather than simply watching it.  Sort of a holier-than-thou arms race. 

Too bad the liberal media, including everyone's favorite nutty lesbian blogger, misinterpreted it and forced him to abandon his missionary (oops, mission).


Yea for Me
I hear he may be studing in Iowa...argh!, why me. Of course, Iowa City may be a good choice for the perfect study partner.

I'm relieved
I'm relieved he isn't playing on my team - the breeders can have him.

wait a minute, wait a minute
are Haggard's overseers saying that unless OTHER gay male hookers come forward to attest to additional trysts, he's definitely het???  I just read the blurb about the miraculous three-week cure and sounds to me as if they're saying, since Mike Jones was the only one Ted 'acted-out' with, then he's for sure het, no two ways about, no siree bob.  OMG.

If that's the case...
...then how many partners would a person have to have to be considered truly gay by these people?  4, 5, 100?  Are there different numbers for men than there are for women?  These people are sexually obsessed!

It's a Miracle
Haggard's speech to his congregation in November, 2006:
" I am a deceiver and a liar. There is a part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I've been warring against it all of my adult life...."

It's amazing that he's healed something he's been "warring against" most of his adult life, after just a few weeks of counseling. 

Also, part of his counseling included the use of polygraphs:
http://www.gazette.c...

.... so not only is he a liar, but a rather good liar.


He wouldn't have gotten away with it for so long
If he wasn't a DAMN GOOD liar too!

Don't tell me this guy doesn't know how to put on a show and the overseeing fundies "inserting" themselves into his life want to believe what he tells them so bad they fall for the very bad acting job he's giving them.  He's been acting for years as an evangelist and he's continuing to do it.

Speedy the Shrink
Three weeks?  Damn, he must have been in the Express Lane on the Highway to Health. 

Or maybe he just did drive-thru therapy.  "Did you want some insight with that?"

"In order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant."  The Colbert Report


Yeah, big whoop
Heterosexuals everywhere must now endure Haggard being one of us.  Thanks for nothing.

Now Ted can spend the rest of life desperate for the love that dare not speak its name, so to speak, and not getting any.  That should make his life better for Jesus, I'm sure.

So the cure for Ted is to make him crazy.  Those must be some fine psychologists he was working with.  And what prompted Ted to decide he should take up psychology?  The fees?


he's not getting one ounce of my pity
he not only neglects the suffering surrounding him on all sides, he creates it.  if he's not capable of prioritizing the issues surrounding true problems in this world and in his life, then he has no business engaging the public realm.  a simple and thorough reading of the bible should have laid out the basis for living a decent and holy life.  he's a fraud and a liar who has misled millions, and deserves nothing from us other than our utter and complete comtempt.

The gays stole my lunch money

You all may see the bad...
...but I'm focusing on the good!  Specifically the capital opportunities opened up by this miracle!  I'm picturing a nation-wide chain of drive-thru conversion therapy centers!

Gay?  No problem!  Place your order and then drive through to the front window for a flash therapy session, and be straight and God-fearing and home in time for supper!


They've opened themselves up for grief
After all, when (not if) Ted Haggard falls again, their laughable claims will come back and bite them where they live (whether it's their pocketbook or their . . . *ahem*). Want to start a betting pool on how soon that will be? ;-)

It's tradition, that makes it okay. Hip-hip hurray it's weasel stomping day!
Weird Al Yankovic - Weasel Stomping Day


Paging Liberace!
Well, you know back in the day, I believe 1958, Liberace was visiting the UK.  He was slammed in the newspapers there for being pansy (aka gay).

http://www.aaronsgay...

Liberace stood up for who he truly was.  He fought tooth and nail in the lawsuit to claim he was straiight.  And guess what?  He won!

So that lawsuit proved that Liberace was straight just like the 3 day miracle makeover proves Ted is straight.

If Liberace can be proven to be straight, hey that other queen Ted can too!
;-)


it's so strange
how fundies define straight!  i guess technically i've been straight for 19 hours now, which is the last time i had sex with my boyfriend. 

sometime tonight i'll (hopefully) be gay again for 20 minutes or so, directly after which i'll be once again on god's path for mankind.

Mwaaaaah,
Matt!!!!!!!!!

[ Parent ]
Yes...
I think we've found another associate of the Department of Too Much Information Department.

[ Parent ]
Ha! I have been straight for a month now!
So that makes me as straight as Haggard.

I am going to go cry now.


As straight as Haggard
I guess I've been straight for 2 weeks now.  In a few more days, I'll be bone again.

[ Parent ]
Yeah, Right
What a load. He may be able to pull this over on the snake handling yahoos in his "Church/Cult", but I am not buying it. Not for a minute.

That reminds me of something...
Ted Haggard is a het?  That's like saying Lindsay Lohan is sober.

In the immortal words
of Valentine (Eddie Murphy) in "Trading Places":  "I can see!  I have legs!"
