Tuesday morning, July 4:
Two headlines from “above the fold” at the Associated Press this morning? Shootings in Philadelphia, PA – 5 dead, 2 wounded, gunman arrested – and Ft. Worth, Tx – 3 dead, 8 wounded, no arrests as of this writing. I know… I write about this a LOT, but it’s not because I’m anti-gun. It’s because it happens a LOT. (There were two other shootings this last weekend, too.)

There are very few better signs that the conservative way is NOT the better way. The carnage in the streets, brought to you by conservatives, is all the proof you need. It’s outrageous. It’s needless. It’s heartbreaking. Frankly, it’s embarrassing. Thanks, Kangaroos. Your Heller “decision” was…well…killer…

It was way, way back, um, three days ago when I wrote about the Christian bigot named Lorie Smith who “won” a case in the Roberts Supremely Kangaroo Court that allowed discrimination, so long as you did it in the name of Jesus. She thought maybe she would, someday, start to design web pages for weddings. She’s never DONE that, of course, but she might some day.

BUT, she did not want to risk having to design a web page for gays so she sued Colorado to stop a law that said she couldn’t discriminate – even if Jesus said. Colorado tossed her suit, saying she didn’t have standing. Not only had she never designed a web page, the court said, but she had never been asked to do so by any gay folk.

Suddenly, her attorney had an example: a guy named Stewart who wanted to marry a guy named Mike. Case proceeds, moron Kangaroos rule 6-3 (of course) that discrimination is a-okay. So, intrepid reporters go looking for Stewart to get his reaction. Turns out, Stewart never asked her to design anything. He certainly doesn’t need a web page for a wedding – he’s been married for 15 years. Oh, and he’s married to a woman. Kinda indicates a lack of gay, right? He didn’t even know his name was in the documents that supported the case.

I’m no lawyer, but I understand the ruling is the ruling and the fact that the ruling was based on a case that never happened by a plaintiff with no proper standing doesn’t change that. To my mind, that really sucks. Now you just KNOW the cons will be making up anything they can think of just to get some issue into the courts so the Kangaroos can press their religious agenda on all of us. So now people are free to discriminate, just like Jesus wanted.

Methinks our “good Christian” might-be, maybe, someday web page designer may have borne false witness, and I know what her oh-so-special storybook says about THAT! Thou shalt NOT. (According to the story, that’s direct from the Big Guy…)

The best indicator of how these super-duper (pseudo) Christians actually feel about their invisible super friend and the rules of their favorite book (they’ve somehow never read) is the evil they perpetuate on Earth without one second of regard for how it might impact their eternal souls in the afterlife. They’ve been told, flatly, their Lord God Almighty will set them on fire if they do things like bear false witness yet this bigoted buffoon blithely and easily lies. Apparently, she’s not worried at all…

I’ll tell you this: actions speak louder than words and that ought to tell you something…
