In a blatant attempt to curry favor with the evangelical Christian wing of the Republican Party, Marco Rubio is now saying that the September 11 terrorist attacks–along with the more recent ones in Paris–are all part of God’s plan. While speaking in Iowa recently, Rubio told his audience not to be afraid, God is control of […]
Since the Paris attacks, all we’ve heard from the chattering class on the far right is that Islam is a religion of violence which mandates jihad, or holy war. They even say the Koran is rife with incidents of violence and calls to kill all enemies of Islam. Which, if you didn’t know, is utter […]
Earlier this morning, Donald Trump showed his true colors by suggesting that it might be a good idea for Muslims in the United States to carry and wear special badges identifying their religious beliefs. Exactly as the Jews were forced to do in Nazi Germany. Speaking to Yahoo News, Trump declared: “We’re going to have […]
Let’s take a moment and review what we definitively know about Ted Cruz so far: He is so conservative that even fellow conservatives like John McCain call him a “wacko bird.” He tends to couch everything he says in terms of good versus evil. He is convinced that there is a “war on Christians” taking […]
A member of the Alabama Board of Education has decided to proudly show off her ignorance credentials by attacking Common Core education standards as a way of training children to engage in all sorts of “transgender stuff” as part of a larger “homosexualist” takeover of the South’s education system. Betty Peters also said that the entire […]
It’s doubtful that you’ve ever heard the name Reford Theobold. He has served as a council member and also the mayor of Grand Junction, Colorado. But it’s something he did way back in 2001 that put him squarely in the news. See, in 2001 Theobold fought tooth and nail to keep a Ten Commandments monument on City […]
The deeply conservative and all-Republican Texas Supreme Court will soon decide if homeschoolers in the state must actually teach their children or can instead delay instruction as they await the second coming of Jesus Christ. The case involves Michael and Laura McIntyre. The couple removed their nine children from a private school in 2004 to teach them […]
Federal authorities are currently investigating the owners of Hobby Lobby for illegally importing stolen artifacts from Iraq which they plan to display at their soon-to-be constructed Museum of the Bible. Agents from the U.S. Customs Service seized up to 300 small clay tablets which had been shipped from Israel to Hobby Lobby corporate headquarters in Oklahoma City. […]
Granted, we all knew that Donald Trump was a loose cannon, but it was kinda fun (come on, admit it) to watch him throw the GOP into disarray as 2016 approaches. And seeing him insult other Republicans at the debates was a bit of a guilty pleasure. But now we have this lunatic–and GOP frontrunner–saying […]
Having been born and raised in Georgia, I can attest to the fact that folks in this part of the country take their religion very seriously. Too seriously at times, in my opinion. And this story is the perfect example of that. A lawsuit was recently settled in which teachers at Swainsboro Primary School basically coaxed, […]
