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.

AL: bible-based journalism: church and state merge in candidate debate

by: Pam Spaulding

Sat Nov 01, 2008 at 20:00:00 PM EDT


Sigh. I have to share with my Alabama-born wife this dreadfully wingnut news about a debate that was held for candidates in the 5th Congressional District race there.

Steve Johnson of WHNT.com was the moderator of the debate and this is the first question he tosses out to Republican Wayne Parker and Dem State Senator Parker Griffith:

And purported journalist Johnson elaborates with this additional mind-blower -- "Is this how Jesus wants to see you campaign? And maybe the best way to ask this is with a popular question -- 'What Would Jesus Do?'"

I sh*t you not. Watch it -- Parker gets the first crack at an answer. It's below the fold (with transcript).

Pam Spaulding :: AL: bible-based journalism: church and state merge in candidate debate

PARKER: "That's a good question. You know that oftentimes Jesus is presented as meek and mild, but he was a man's man. He grew up a carpenter, he worked with his hands. And he had some really hard things to say to religious leaders of his time. He called some wolves in sheep's clothing, he called others hypocrites. So, I think what Jesus do is he would always speak the truth."

(Dem Griffith tries mightly to steer the debate into sane territory.)

GRIFFITH: "I think he'd probably be ashamed of both of us a little bit. I think the financial crisis that we are facing in America today begs for solutions, it doesn't beg for blame, it doesn't beg for finger-pointing, and throwing mud at each other. I think we've got families out there that are absolutely devastated by this, pensions are disappearing. Families don't know how they are going to educate their children, and I think we really, really have done ourselves a disservice by not discussing the issues."

Ironically, this district, in northern Alabama, has been a reliable Dem one for over 70 years. It includes Huntsville, a hub for NASA, and it hasn't been a hotbed of social conservatism until recently:
In the late 1950s Northern Alabama came to be dominated by the high-tech and engineering industries, a trend which has continued up to the present. In recent years, the United Launch Alliance has located its research center in Decatur. As a result, Huntsville has become the third largest and fastest growing metropolitan area in Alabama.

Thus the politics of the 5th district have been dominated over the past 70 or so years by liberal economics and disinterest in social issues - the hallmarks of the New Deal Democratic tradition in Northern Alabama. However, the Democratic stranglehold on this district has slowly loosened over the past two decades with the onset of civil rights and later traditional values as important political issues in the area.

Hat tip, Blue Gal.

The correct answer no politician will ever say
Who cares what a man from Judea over 2000 years ago would think of ANY political decision today?

or say how about we ask what would Ron Hubbard or Joseph Smith do?

They are a just under 2 milleniums closer to a contemporary decision.

I asked
Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed and the Flying Spaghetti Monster how to react to this.  They told me not to vote for either of the major parties.  When enough of us do that, that's when we'll see an end to this kind of idiocy, and not before.

Cynic, n.  A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.  
-Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary


Semi-Non Sequitur
Jesus wasn't a carpenter, dammit.  There were hardly any trees in Israel 2,000 years ago.  He was a stonemason.

And he was all about hanging out with the poor and disenfranchised, so I have a hard time believing he'd support today's Republican Party, no matter how much they try to claim ownership.

"If the apocalypse comes... beep me." -- Buffy Summers


And then..
Michele Bachmann would call him anti-American and demand that the media investigate his actions with regards to the poor and disenfranchised.

John McCain would accuse him of registering illegal voters.

At a rally for Bible Spice, a flag waving good American would yell "terrorist" and Palin would wink a few times.

Liddy Dole would run an ad calling him "Godless."

Phil Gramm would ask why he is hanging out with those "whiners."

Dick Cheney would ask him to go hunting.

The list goes on and on.

thanks much
for the linky love and the transcript. xo

The more the THEOCRATS overplay the Jesus card
The more Independants run away, the country saw what these folks did since 2002....and are sick and tired of it.

This sort of batshittery is why
I keep my complete disbelief in any mythology a complete secret...

We came WAY to close this year to having a Supreme Court occupied by 7 Christian Mullahs and being free to practice whichever type of Christianity we chose.
