Foot-dragging on DADT (via Modern Skeptic)

Leave a comment

The foot-dragging by the US government on the repeal of the discriminatory Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy is beyond irritating.  Gays and lesbians are serving silently, and with honor, throughout the US military.  Unfortunately, the US government is also serving silently – albeit with dishonor. The lack of progress on this repeal falls squarely on the shoulders of the spineless Democrats.  How is it that the Democrats can occupy the White House, th … Read More

Good job, Lt. Choi.  And thanks for your service, both in and out of the military.

We Had Control! Bwahahaha!

Shhhh…  don’t tell anyone!  Last night, we had control!  For 10 hours last night, the fate of a certain central California county was first partially, then completely, in the hands of two of the Rainbow Dispatchers Coalition!

Telling them where to go, and how to get there, secretly flying under the Rainbow Flag!  Bwahahaha!

Our plot to take over the world advances!

But…  keep it under your hat.  We’re not there yet.

*GASP* I’m a LIAR!

Yep.  That’s right.  Little ‘ole me.  A liar.   “ConservoCaptain” says I’m a liar.  In the newspaper’s online forums.

Jim, anyone with half a brain that can think in abstract fashion knows that the Huffington Post is a left wing blog. And knows already that they are already bias. The only people who read Huffington are the very small minority (that would be you and JB)
I myself won’t read anything from Arianna Huffington a godless liberal from Western Europe. She’s a socialist know-nothing. I also know about what’s going on in Oklahoma and the 30,000+ muslims who reside in OK. They want to practice their own laws instead of the prevailing law of the land, and that’s both the State and Federal laws. Incidentally those 30,000+ (but not more then 34,000) make up less then 1% of the total population of the State and the voter’s have decided that. It’s sad that muslims want to be treated above and special then the rest of society in general.
It’s the same mentality that so pervaded the homosexual community in CA, gays want to have special status in so much as to hold “special” protective status whereas, that they want to make it a criminal offence to have homosexuality be called a sin, of which; it is. The real truth Jim is that gays, lesbians, transgenders make up less then 1/10 of 1% of either the States, or National population, yet they want to shove their lifestyle down the rest of us.
You sir are a liar and will not tell the truth. I’m offended by your lifestyle and am also offended that you deserve to be treated any differently then anyone else just because you’re gay. No sir, you do not. You’re no different then anyone else and if you come out of the closet and come under fire for saying who you are. Then that comes with the territory.
Furthermore, if you don’t like what I say, then too bad so sad. Throw a fit, get angry, go tattletale on your friends about what I’ve said. It’s not my soul I’m throwing away, it’s yours.

S/he’s in quite the snit today, don’t you think?

Somebody left this poor newborn out in the cold parking lot!  I hope it survives to grow up into a full size car someday!  😉

Not only is there no evidence for a god, there can’t be.

Science deals with what is.  By it’s very nature, it won’t, and can’t, deal with things that don’t exist.  Individual scientists may hold some strange views about various religious figures, but science doesn’t deal with them, because they don’t exist.

Salty Current has an excellent read, here, about the subject, and why the notion of proving or disproving gods with science is a non-starter.

Science Notes writer Monado has a good post about the slickest story ever told, here. It’s a commentary on all the best things offered in sacrifice to the gods.  The priests had (and still have!) quite a racket going on.

For me, it comes down to something rather simple:  If it’s real, it exists.  If it exists, then it’s something natural.  “Super-natural” is a contradiction in terms.  Everything natural is understandable, eventually.  It can be tested.  It can be scrutinized by science.  It can be explained.  Religion is designed to be unexplainable.  That’s why it has to be taken on “faith”.

We don’t need to place our hopes (and fears) in something that isn’t real.
