Godless Sunday 12/13 Part II

So, for those of you who missed this, a City Councilman in Asheville, NC may lose his seat because he is an athiest and, apparently, that makes him a second class citizen.  Not just socially, but legally.Foes say atheism disqualifies pol – BostonHerald.com
That has riled conservative activists, who cite a little-noticed quirk in North Carolina’s [...]

Leilani And Dale Neumann: We were right!

I can’t begin to tell you how much this bit terrifies me:
“The judge also realizes that jail time will not reform us, because he has witnessed our faith runs very deep,” the statement reads.
Translation: we did nothing wrong.
Extrapolation: therefor, we’ll do it again if similar situations arise.
Further: Yes, we are OK with killing children in [...]

Leilani And Dale Neumann: Basically, they get away with it

Honestly, I don’t know what to say about this.
6 months plus probation.
At what point do we simply say that child neglect is A-OK?
I mean, seriously, I’m not sure what the details are on this but they did remove the kids and none of them had died.
So, crazy nazi parents are NOT ok, but crazy [...]

The Public Option’s Death And How The ‘Trigger’ Is Pointless

So, it is looking very much like the public option is now going to be put out to pasture unless the insurance companies don’t comply with various rules.
I can’t imagine this will ever ever trigger.
1. If insurance companies don’t comply, we will simply have the same fight all over again with people punching each other [...]

Dale and Leilani Neumann, the disease spreads

Look, I can’t believe what hypocrites these people are, given that Ms. Neumann seemed to require medical attention during the first day, and didn’t demand that they leave her alone and just pray for her, but…
I continue to hope these people never see their children ever again since they are more than happy to murder [...]

Orson Scott Card: Follow-up

If my arguments against Card’s position seem less-than-rational, less-than-reasonable, its because the arguments he uses, and all those like him use, are completely irrational.  Every example is flawed and the very core idea, that marriage has always been exactly as it is now, is simply incorrect.  Oh, and the desire to overthrow any government that [...]

Obviously, all our girls will be whores with Plan B

There’s tons wrong with this article…Commentary: Plan B risky for 17-year-old girls – CNN.com
Now keep in mind birth control pills require a doctor’s prescription, but a drug that is more powerful doesn’t?
Well, actually, the reason birth control requires a prescription is that it is something you take continually. Thats very different than a one-time [...]

And next on “Completely Inappropriate Legal Actions”

Don’t get me wrong, this kid was being an asshoe for sending around a naked picture of his 16 year old girlfriend, but having him register as a sex offender is just NOT the point of these laws and simply destroys his life.  ‘Sexting’ lands teen on sex offender list – CNN.com
“You will find me [...]

Missouri Is Schitzophrenic

So they’ve been trying to pass a bunch of laws that do things like make it illegal to coerce a woman into having an abortion, which is great, except that if a woman goes to a doctor and it seems like she may have been coerced into getting the abortion, he has to not act.  [...]

Manson Family Member: I’m sick and dying so let me out

Well, Ms. Atkins, if you didn’t want to die in prison, perhaps you should have been a monster.Aging Manson ‘Family’ members long for freedom – CNN.com
By her own admission, Atkins held Tate down as she pleaded for mercy, and stabbed the eight-months-pregnant woman 16 times. In a 1993 parole board hearing, Atkins said Tate “asked [...]
