I Was Browsing Fox News Stories...
To find some good STFU comments about the coming repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell…
I couldn’t find any, I couldn’t find a single post that was more than “No fags in the military” to mock. The comments were mostly all very respectful and supporting of the repealing of DADT
This was from the comments section of the Fox News website, I’d say...

BERRY: No, Tony, you can’t build a mosque at the site of 9/11.
TONY: Why not? Why not?
BERRY: No, you can’t. And I’ll tell you this: If you do build a mosque, I hope somebody blows it up. … I hope the mosque isn’t built, and if it is, I hope it’s blown up. And I mean that. … It’s right-wing radicals like me that are going to keep this country safe for you and everyone...

The House voted Thursday to let the Defense Department repeal the ban on gay and bisexual people from serving openly in the military, a major step toward dismantling the 1993 law widely known as “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, who sponsored the repeal measure, said the ban did not “reflect the best values of our country.”
The provision would allow...

kallefuckingblomkvist asked: "XY is outraged at Obama's lack of response to the Oil spill in the gulf! Today he said that the people down here are on their own, and that if they were unhappy that he would tell PB their concerns!!!!! What a joke we have for a President! I want W back!!!!!!!!"

Black Jesus
Submitted by Tim: “I’m here to blow the minds of right wing Christian fundamentalists. If they did a little research, and put two and two together, they’d realize that due to the place where Christ was born, and the description the Bible offers of him, it proves that Jesus was indeed black.”
loveapprentice asked: I was homeschooled for eleven years by my conservative Christian parents and look how far I've come! I'm liberal/feminist/pacifist/tolerant and as a bonus I'm asexual. :]
What you should DO is organize some kind of directory or group for homeschool kids who turned out awesome, haha.

katoleary:fatmanatee:twinksforjesus:
Here’s how the Family Research Council envisions things going if Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is repealed: first, more straight soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines will be fellated in their sleep against their will. Then, commanders afraid of being labeled homophobes will refuse to do anything about it. Eventually, the straight service...

neonstargazers asked: In regards to the idiot who posted before me -- I'd just like to ask was he paying attention at all to the Bush Administration?

Does it pass the Bechdel test?
A lot of people have been talking about the Bechdel test, which has three easy guidelines for movies:
1) It has two or more women in it, with names
2) who talk to each other
3) about something other than a man (specifically, about something other than their relationship with a man)
Shockingly - or not - plenty of movies don’t pass this test. Here are just the ones I’ve seen in the...
pleasedontsqueezetheshaman:
If we’re going to fight to keep an Islamic mosque and community center from being built near Ground Zero then I think it would only be fair to also protest Catholic churches from being built near schoolyards and Scientology Centers from being built within 100 meters of anyone using formal logic.
thejordanator asked: I sometimes wish our Conservatives here in the UK were as crazy as yours! They're always good for a chuckle! But then I see Arizona and kinda feel glad I'm European (if we could make decent hot wings and pizza i'd be 100% glad, but as we dont it's more like 65%).

I am a gay veteran, but my experience with “don’t ask, don’t tell” is probably different from most you’ve heard, because I never told. For nearly five years I stayed silent about my sexual orientation while I served as an infantryman in the United States Army, successfully completed my deployments to Kuwait and Iraq and got a Combat Infantryman Badge...
