Follow Jesus? You'll Burn in Hell!

It says so right in your bible.

Luke 14:26 says that you must hate your family to be a disciple of Jesus.

1 John 3:15 says that if you hate your brother you are a murderer.

Revelation 21:8 says that all murderers will burn in hell.

So if you understand transitivity, christians are gonna burn in hell...

Good Things Come From Labor Unions and Collective Bargaining, For Example...

The 40 hour work week

Child labor being illegal

Paid vacation days/weeks

Fair salaries

Paid health care

Paid leave with a guaranteed job upon return

Pensions

A "Middle" class

...And some of the more recent "good" things about unions...

• According to the Economic Policy Institute unionized workers receive 26% more vacation time and 14% more total paid leave (vacations and holidays).

Is the Tea Party Libertarian?

If you've ever thought that the tea party folks were libertarian let's just sit back and watch how they react to the President's decision to stop trying to claim the "Defense of Marriage Act" is constitutional... you'll see... the tea partiers are just right wing republicans...

The Tea Party President

You know, I think we've already had a president from the Tea Party. You see, the Tea Party is in favor of balanced budgets. Now which president has presided over a balanced budget in the last 30 years?

Reagan? Ha ha ha, no way.

Oh, maybe it was a Bush? Nope!

The only time since 1980 that we enjoyed a balanced budget was during the last four terms of President William Jefferson Clinton.

So I think the tea-baggers should embrace President Clinton as the ideal president.

A-Flock-alypse Now? Birds Dying Because of DADT Repeal

What can be said about such rampant stupidity?

Fifty Years Ago Today

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population...

God's Favorite

This is a wonderful graphic that helps to depict our place in the cosmos.

The Last Reasonable Republican President

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children...."
