A Christian fundamentalist photographer falls afoul of New Mexico’s anti-discrimination law.
Free Republic commentators respond:
The ‘gay rights’ movement is as big if not a bigger threat to America and Americans than the abortion movement.
I have often made the claim that the fabled “lunch counter sit-ins” from the 1950’s which helped push forward the Civil Rights struggle were a bad precedent.
Yes, but once we went down the road of proptecting minorities, then the further road of adding “sexual preference” to the minorities list, this becomes the equivalent of saying “we don’t serve blacks”.
That is how the left is destroying our culture.
Faggot fascism on the march.
This is why a legislator in Kansas recently called homosexual agenda “alqueera”! They sure act like it (a lot more than the Christians they accuse of doing so).
Another example of unequal protection due to anti-discrimination laws. A hetero couple has no recourse to sue this photographer for refusing to photograph their event, but a gay couple can. Looking for someone to punch, I’m best to choose the straight guy because I get more time for hitting the gay guy.
The lesbos are suffering from Christophobia.
The law permits people to discriminate against Republicans in lodging and employment. It even didn’t permit additional charges when there was violence and vandalism targeted at families because they were Republican.
and the filthy disease ridden queers win again…
Doctor Who fans are crazy. This makes perfect sense when you consider the longevity of the show. They’ve had more time to develop and nurture the crazy than almost any other nerd-attracting program. And the best illustration of this are the arguements. You see, the less important an issue becomes, the more loudly people will argue about it. Take, for example, the raging debate over whether or not the upcoming series of the show is the fourth series or not.
All this series 4 nonsense should now be washed away. Honestly who can call a series series 4 when 29 series have preceeded it?
The same stupid BBC that rejected Red Dwarf IX. The same stupid BBC that cancelled Doctor Who in the first place. The same BBC that panders to thugs etc by being so politically correct.
Why not? If Red Dwarf came back should it be called series one again? If Men Behaving Badly came back should that be series one again? The facts are it’s the same series not a reset or anything like that so it is Season/Series/Whatever 30. It makes perfect sense. Having Series One follow Season 26, Dimensions in Time, TV Movie is absurd.
But it is SERIES FOUR, because that is what BBC Wales, the people who are actually making it are calling it. The fact that DWM called it Series 30 once, in a headline of article about SERIES FOUR is just a coincidence. It will remain the thirtieth series of something called Doctor Who but its official title is Series Four. Fans can call it what they like, but it remains Series Four.
Twaddle you can’t call it the 4TH SERIES/SERIES 4 BECAUSE THAT WAS ON IN THE 1960S ABSOLUTE RUBBISH i DON’T CARE WHat bbc Wales say they have no right to reset the numbering they didn’t create Doctor Who.
Doesn’t matter what the BBC are calling it. There have been 29 seasons prior to this one. It’s 30.
Ever wondered why Dr Who fans have a reputation for being uptight, anal, unbalanced obsessives?
The only reason they’ve adopted the ludicrous new numbering is because they stupidly think the audience will be confused by reminders that the show has been around so long. It’s disrespectful to a British institution .
I’m really, really sorry for you that you haven’t got the version of the show back that you want, but I‘m tired of hearing you bleat on and on and on about it. Can’t you stop being quite so bloody selfish and appreciate how much a hell of a lot of other people are enjoying it?

A fellow is contacted by a company that provides “services and products” to government agencies, and, wanting to investigate this company further, visits its website. There he quickly discovers that the password-protected areas of the site are easily accessible…since the required user name and password are in the page’s source code. You know, the code that every single browser on Earth can reveal if the user were to pick the “View Source” option from the menu? Yeah, that source code. In plain text.
You should read the original post for the full impact of the hilarity that ensues, including what these programming geniuses did when their password was found out. However, someone who allegedly works for this company wasn’t happy with how the business was being portrayed, and decided to put his best foot forward and take it up in the comments section:
thank you hackers for trying to destroy federal suppliers guides reputation. i have worked here with my wife for 10 years now and have helped hundreds of clients obtain federal government work. i have 4 children and though you don’t care you are hurting the feelings of many good employees and customers by your immature actions. sorry our site wasn’t protected to your standards however all of you are being reported to the appropriate authorities as we have your information too. you should of protected your info a little better. not only is the company legit we actually have held a 5 year GSA contract with the federal government
and one of my best clients just broke 500,000 dollars in federal sales directly related to the GSA contract we got them. i am proud to work here and help small businesses obtain government workand also help federal buyers locate qualified small businesses to do business with. if you not interested in government work or our services of helping small businesses navigate the federal market fine but please don’t slander the company. its rude, your comments are not truthful we are not a scam and i hope someday you realize that all you have to do is check us out with dun & bradstreet or GSA or the florida local and state chambers of commerce to see that what we do is real and federal buyers do request both our hardcopy guides and the online directory as well.

Falling
at the heart of my heart, im a writer. this book took me 3 years to write and i loved every minute of the process.
“Falling” is an urban fiction novel set during a Montreal winter. The book deals with the complete destruction an introverted photographer named Severen experiences when hes left by his drug-addicted girlfriend. “Falling” is first and foremost a novel about the wasteland of emotion that broken love can wreak upon an individual. It’s also a novel about the delusions, mental chaos, denial, and drug abuse that can happen when a person chooses to avoid pain by losing themselves in another person.
Written from an emotional male point of view, the elements of sex and drugs aren’t only gratuitous; you follow Severen as he grasps for anything to avoid fully dealing with having to feel the pain of ended love.
A Call to Arms:
As the next ruler of Leldyna, Rae must continue to learn all she can about her homeland. Time flies by as she tours the land to meet the inhabitants. Upon her return a shock greets her in the form of an old law, marriage or disownment. Wary of the choices selected by the Council, Rae agrees. Another surprise awaits her then in the form of an old friend. Can Rae do what she needs without losing herself to her obligations or will she have to leave it all? Just when she thinks it’s over another worse situation develops: pirates!

So there’s this post on the United Methodist Reporter blog:
Wes Magruder and his family have been on my prayer list for some time now — since 2004, actually, when they left the friendly confines of the North Texas Conference to serve as GBGM missionaries in Cameroon.
Wes’s family is back but Wes is still stuck there for the time-being. There’s a very nice picture of the Magruders accompanying the post, but lo! Be careful, warns Richard Mummau, lest ye be tempted by the Whores of Babylon:
As a former United Methodist I find if offensive to see pictures of women wearing shorts and appearing in immodest dress. We can remember when our elders would never consider attending church in something other than a dress. Now a man has to almost cover his eyes to keep from seeing what is almost pornography inside a church building. We left the United Methodist because of a social gospel was being preached and no one really wanted to obey the Bible any more. Women preachers - what an abomination.
No, I don’t know how Richard saw that post with that comment and came up with that response. Perhaps it’s best I don’t.
To quote a co-worker upon seeing this comment:
I think that if you were to look at his five wives, they’d all be dressed more modestly.
Over at the DC Comics message board, homosexual comic book characters tends to be a…touchy subject. Which is why the sheer reasonableness of this thread on the subject in the Green Lantern section is so shocking.
Luckily, user “renaudman” comes along to remind us where we are:
Just dumb stupid cheap shock value gimmickry to turn a character gay, especially to please 5% of a population, that don’t even care about Green Lanterns to begin with, except a few to bastardize one
Again, if those Want-My Gay-Superhero boys don’t have the balls to create their own, and put their money where there mouth is, and live by those characters, than maybe they should stop whining about bastardizing other people’s creations
Queezada bastardizing the Rawhide Kid in one of his wetdream agenda was bad enough.
Yes, “renaudman” is apparently still complaining about a western comic book that came out five years ago and was quickly forgotten by everyone else. He really hates him some homos, I guess.
Barack Obama is coming to Indianapolis today to do the usual pulpit-slapping and dramatic pausing that has made him a leader to so many Democrats. Of course, not everyone is very impressed by this, including one gentleman who wants to refer to himself as “The fireman”
I don’t understand how the American people can elect a man of Islamic descent. All the trouble we are having is due to the Islamic people and we (some people) are trying to get one of the elected as president. His name should have caused lights to go off Barack Husain Obama, what American heritage is that. Was he named after Sadam Husain? It don’t make since to me how this can be happening to our wonderful country. Just like immagration and all the illegals here flying the flag of Mexico in their yard and on the vehicles. It should be against the law. Theodore Roosevelt in 1907 said “There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who is an AMERICAN, but something else also, isn’t an AMERICAN at all. We have room for but one flag, the AMERICAN flag…We have room for but one language here,and that is the English language…And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the AMERICAN people.”
We need to get back to this way of thinking and stop being afraid of stepping on someones toes. This is our country, we should fight to keep it ours.
Apparently the cognitive dissonance between the spelling here and the Teddy Roosevelt quote is invisible to the St. Louis resident.
From a dubiously sourced article in the Daily News comes the revelation that Americans are amongst the most undersexed people in the world. Only 53% of Americans have sex once a week. Which means Americans are getting laid more often than the Japanese, but are lagging far behind Greece and Brazil in the global nookie race.
Let’s sample some responses, shall we?
I’d like to see how the numbers look after you take out “sex with sheep and cats”.
Its bad because the women here suck!!! They’re all haggered as if they’ve all “been there, done that”. I don’t even want to touch them because its like wearing someone else’s underwear. They get used because they let their guard down for chumps, but when decent dudes come along, they’re like, “don’t talk to me”. Then they wonder why getting good Men is such a task……..in other countries the women are apparently more intelligent.
Sex who care as long as a female can open her mouth I’m good. Keep em on their knees and you will never have to hear them talk to you during the football game or basket ball game… A cold one in one hand and the remote in the other hand and a female that can suck you into the sky…
You have to look for your women in a fast food McDonalds or similiar. The fast food draws the really fat ones who are willing to have sex with anyone, don’t forgrt to bring a paper bag!
4chan is infamous.
Things like the thread below, beginning with the first response displayed, are why.
(Strangely, I’ve found that a higher-than-average number of the denizens there can actually spell, find the shift key, and punctuate. I don’t know if this worries me more or less…)
