Christian Nation? Not Even Close.

     For a long time now the political and religious right (one in the same really) have been shouting the idea that America is a "Christian Nation". Can someone tell me when that happened? I thought this nation was a melting pot of not only cultures but religions as well. So, when exactly did just one religion take the lead in this country and deserve to be used as a guide for the laws that govern all of us?

     Answer? It didn't. Christianity is only one of many religions in this country, and I'm sorry if this pisses any of you off, but it is far from the one that we should be basing our laws on. The faith of Christianity is fed and lead by an ancient religious book, the Bible. The Bible is full of all kinds of really sick and twisted stories. I'd rather have Stephen King books as the basis for our laws over the Bible.

     Now I don't hate the Bible nor do I hate Christianity, but some of the things some so-called Christians are spouting off with these days scares the hell out of me. These are the same people who claim to be Pro-Life, yet will shoot and kill an abortion doctor all while clad in a t-shirt that reads "God-Guns-Family". So excuse me if I have a problem with calling my country an Christian nation.

     Honestly, I don't want anyones religion holding sway over the laws that govern this nation, not even my own. I love Wicca, it has done wonders for me spiritually. But, I would not be so arrogant as to force my faith on others in the way of Federal or even State Law. It comes down to this; what is good for one is not good for all. The sooner the political/religious right get this through their collective heads, the sooner we can get this country back on its feet again.

        We have a separation of Church and State for this reason, and I for one want to keep it that way.

Bristol Palin Accuses Levi Johnson of Rape in New Book

     Bristol Palin wrote in her new book that Levi Johnson "stole" her virginity. WTF?! This moron lays down and spreads her legs for her boyfriend, more than once I'm sure, and has the nerve to basically say that he raped her. This is 100% Grade A bull shit!

    Women who do get raped have a hard enough time getting taken seriously, and now this twit has made it worse. This idiot needs to be called out publicly for this bold-faced lie. This is a call to action! Blow up Facebook, Twitter, other blogs, news outlets, YouTube. Let the world know that the this line of bull shit will not be tolerated. Rape is not something you yell to sell a book! This little girl is sick in the head and must be shown as the criminal she is!

Anti-Choice Advertising is Vulgar

As a new resident of Florida I am sickened at the kinds of billboards that the state is allowing to be put up in full view of children.

Kids do NOT need to see pictures of bloody fetuses lining the interstate when they travel. What kind of damage is being done to children that see some of these vile images? This is the same to me as if pornographic pictures were being placed on these billboards for kids to see. It's just plain disgusting. I don't care what kind of the debate you're on, you should be able to agree to that.

And by the way, these billboards also state that life begins at conception; if that's the case then any woman who has a menstrual cycle after one of her eggs has been fertilized would be considered by these people to be a murderer. That kind of mentality is just plain ignorant.
