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.

Newsweek poll and article on marriage twists the knickers of professional homobigots

by: Pam Spaulding

Mon Dec 08, 2008 at 15:30:00 PM EST


I'm so tired of these fundies and their incessant need to "protect marriage." I'm sure that Brian Brown has cured world hunger, stopped genocide and ended homelessness, so he's able to continue the PR wars to fight the homos and attempt to curb any good press about marriage equality, particularly anything that questions their bible-based bigotry..

This week's Newsweek cover story has his panties in a bunch: "Our Mutual Joy: Opponents of gay marriage often cite Scripture. But what the Bible teaches about love argues for the other side."

It didn't help that positive poll information is in that issue of Newsweek as well:

When voters in California, Florida and Arizona approved measures banning same-sex marriage last month, opponents lamented that the country appeared to be turning increasingly intolerant toward gay and lesbian rights. But the latest NEWSWEEK Poll finds growing public support for gay marriage and civil unions—and strong backing for the granting of certain rights associated with marriage, to same-sex couples. (Click here to see the full poll.)

Americans continue to find civil unions for gays and lesbians more palatable than full-fledged marriage. Fifty-five percent of respondents favored legally sanctioned unions or partnerships, while only 39 percent supported marriage rights. Both figures are notably higher than in 2004, when 40 percent backed the former and 33 percent approved of the latter. When it comes to according legal rights in specific areas to gays, the public is even more supportive. Seventy-four percent back inheritance rights for gay domestic partners (compared to 60 percent in 2004), 73 percent approve of extending health insurance and other employee benefits to them (compared to 60 percent in 2004), 67 percent favor granting them Social Security benefits (compared to 55 percent in 2004) and 86 percent support hospital visitation rights (a question that wasn't asked four years ago). In other areas, too, respondents appeared increasingly tolerant. Fifty-three percent favor gay adoption rights (8 points more than in 2004), and 66 percent believe gays should be able to serve openly in the military (6 points more than in 2004).

So out went the e-blast from the National Organization for Marriage...it's below the fold.

Tell Newsweek To Tell the Truth About Faith and Marriage! December 8, 2008
 

Dear XXX,

It's so outrageous that it's almost funny.  Just a few weeks after our historic victory for marriage at the ballot box--in California Florida and Arizona--the geniuses at Newsweek decide to devote a cover story to the gay marriage. Do the journalists highlight the terrible outpouring of hatred by those alleged voices of tolerance against Christians and people of other faiths who stood tall and spoke out for marriage as one man and one woman? Of course not.

TAKE ACTION NOW!

After weeks of arguing that religious people should be seperated from the democratic process, the mainstream media has finally found a religious argument about marriage worth talking about: the one they call "the religious case for gay marriage."

You already know what these allegedly fancy new ideas come down to: ignore what Scripture and common sense both clearly teach in favor of the latest edict from Harvard about what marriage means, or should mean, or could mean if only this God thing didn't keep getting the way.

TELL NEWSWEEK WHAT YOU THINK!

Here's the one great truth Newsweek's reporters had to ignore, because they couldn't find a way to sugar coat it: the greatest multi-faith religious coaltion in the history of America just came together to protect and defend a core truth about marriage endorsed by 99.9 percent of religious tradition: marriage IS a union of husband and wife.

We've made it easy for you to give Newsweek a thoughtful, respectful piece of your mind.

God bless,    Brian Brown

Gasp and swoon!
You mean speak out against the Newsweek article? Why that's not right. Where is the tolerance for Newsweek's opinion? How dare they target Newsweek with potentially mean letters. I thought this was America where everyone has a right to their opinion.

After all, Newsweek doesn't "hate marriage." It is only speaking out for the traditional role of the news media to ask questions and start debate.

Okay, I'm trying to be tongue in cheek.  


Don't be hatin' on Brian!
How can you dislike somebody who comes up with rhetorical constructions like:

  • "The gay marriage"; and
  • "Allegedly fancy new ideas"?

    Granted, I don't know what the latter means.  Are the ideas allegedly fancy, or allegedly new?

    Still, it's just precious.

    Traditional marriage is fortunate to have that kind of creativity on its side.

    Good News!
    I'm always happy when they're unhappy -- that's a sure sign America's doing something right.

    So, everyone, make your 2009 New Year's resolution now to make the theocons unhappy at least once a day, all year long. If we all get together and displease them great gobs, their mean little heads might just explode.



    THAT IS THE BEST NY Resolution ...

    Wow
    Memorize that photograph boys, that face is coming to a bathroom stall near you (and likely he will be trying to bury it in your crotch).

    Si Hoc Legere Scis Nimium Eruditionis Habes


    I was thinking the exact same thing
    I can almost hear the toe-tapping from here.

    Brian Brown is...
    Brian Brown is so gay.  And you can take that in either sense of the phrase you desire.  Both are true, I've no doubt.

    It would have been a lot better
    if Newsweek had done an article on the difference between civil marriage and church marriage and explained that all us gay folks are asking for is civil marriage.  Arguing from the Bible is irrelevant, or ought to be.  Marriage licenses are issued by the state, not by any religious institution, so what the hell does the goddamned dumbfucking Bile have to do with it?

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


    I'm now enjoying these types of stories
    Because they always get the wingnuts worked into a lather - it's cheap entertainment!

    Not if you include...
    the ever-rising cost of their blood-pressure medication!

    I hope every Harvard grad sent that letter...
    tells them to FCUK OFF!

    How many actual Harvard grads are on their mailing list?
    To be a major snob, my guess is that Ivy League degrees are not commonplace on the wingnut mailing list.  Not that there aren't plenty of dumb Ivy League grads, but you get my drift.  It's like harping about "San Francisco values" to morons who have, of course, never been to San Francisco.  It's all for effect.

    and we can use their Newsweek link....
    to send favorable letters to Newsweek.

    Reason
    And make sure to let them know that the National Organization for "Marriage" requested that you send Newsweek a note to let them know you think it's a great article.

    I just got my email from AFA a little while ago
    they link to Al "Catholics & Mormons aren't Christian" Mohler's response.

    Now...how can we help get this guy's special insights way up in Google?

    But wait, there's more!

    Religious History
    "Who demand the ballot for woman? They are not the lovers of God, nor
    are they believers in Christ, as a class. There may be exceptions, but
    the majority prefer an infidel's cheer to the favor of God and the
    love of the Christian community. It is because of this tendency that
    the majority of those who contend for the ballot for woman cut loose
    from the legislation of Heaven, from the enjoyments of home, and drift
    to infidelity and ruin." - Justin Fulton, 1869, in opposition to
    women's right to vote.

    Almighty God created the races white, black, yellow, malay and red,
    and he placed them on separate continents. And but for the
    interference with his arrangement there would be no cause for such
    marriages. The fact that he separated the races shows that he did not
    intend for the races to mix. " - Statement by Virginia trial judge in
    1959 case that led to 1967 U.S. Supreme Court striking down laws in 16
    states that prohibited interracial marriage.

    "[Slavery] was established by decree of Almighty God... it is sanctioned
    in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation... it has
    existed in all ages, has been found among the people of the highest
    civilization, and in nations of the highest proficiency in the arts."
    -Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America.

    I just signed up on this website and sent a supportive letter to the Newsweek editors through it.  It's an automatic thing that goes out as you write it.  Plus they have simple links to all the people they are targeting.  By signing up I can now easily contact all these people and show my support for gay marriage.

    Also they now have my address so I'll probably get lots of materials that hopefully costs them some money. :)


    Did you use real address?? HOOT
    I tried signing up with fake address...but they require 9 place zip code. So this will take a little more work...but I will do it.

    The Wingers are losing the public debate.
      Once the Debate became honest the wingers lost.  It is sad that the open debate about LGBT rights hasn't been out in front sooner.  LGBT rights is a winning issue, it is just a wonder why politicians decided to runaway from it before the election.

     All this Activist Judge Crap is going to become a thing of the past.  Most politicians know that Judges have a select job to do.  Part of me is completely pissed off thaat the CA Supreme Court put off hearing the cases against prop 8.  It is a NO BRAINER.  A majority cannot vote on a minorities rights.  The US Constitution makes that perfectly clear.

     At the same time, I can understand why the wait so the American Public can see this for what it is.  A majority voting on a minorities rights.

     And the more the Dumb Asses keep saying the voters had their say, the more the US Constitution speaks louder.  The religious right knows they need to get rid of the Constitution, they had their dream shot with GW Bush.  Even though GW Bush shredded a lot of it, the peice are still there to be put back together, and this fact just pisses them off to no end.

    If I make sense? it was quite by accident.


    They can't help themselves!
    They just can't stop talking about themselves

    It's so outrageous that it's almost funny.

    Outrageous to the point of being funny, you know like claiming violent and hateful acts against them such as snatching a cross from someone else hand, in contrast to the violence enacted against LGBT people, like oh, I don't know shooting someone in the face?

    Do the journalists highlight the terrible outpouring of hatred by those alleged voices of tolerance against Christians and people of other faiths who stood tall and spoke out for marriage as one man and one woman? Of course not.

    That's because they exist in this strange place called REALITY. You might want to visit it sometime.

    ignore what Scripture and common sense both clearly teach in favor of the latest edict from Harvard about what marriage means, or should mean, or could mean if only this God thing didn't keep getting the way.

    Did ya read the article? They are taking examples straight from the bible. You know that book that God wrote? But in case you missed it let me give you a little family tree...

    Terah had 3 sons Abram (Abraham), Nahor, and Haran. Haran had a daughter named Milcah and son Lot. Nahor married his niece Milcah. (Gen 11:27-29)
    Lot has two daughters and after offering them to be raped by the town, they flee to the mountains where the daughters worry they will not conceive, so they get their father drunk and get impregnated by him. (Gen 19:30-36)
    Abra(ha)m marries Sarai who is his half-sister. (Gen 20:11-12) Abraham and his half-sister have a son named Isaac. Milcah and her Uncle Nahor have a son named Bethuel (and Nahor and his concubine had sons too.) Betheul had a daughter named Rebekah (Gen 22:20-24) Isaac, the son of Abraham and Nephew of Nahor, and Rebekah, the granddaughter of Nahor and great- niece of Abraham, get married (Gen 24:67) And Isaac and Rebekah went on to have Jacob...

    Now, THAT'S family values...

    watashi no yomeiri wa doko desu ka


    This is priceless
    Incest is a true AMERICAN FAMILY VALUE!
