DOMA is Dead

Welcome to the Post Christian Era
I once lived in a country without religion.
Yes. There were churches. With cameras and careful supervision.
They knew who came and who went, they controlled each dry scrap of bread.
But were these churches christian? Was this Christianity?
Bells can ring and bells can toll.
We should recognize the difference–a matter of life or death…
The New Yorker Toys With Childhood Icons
It is utterly irresponsible for The New Yorker to co-opt children’s role models and icons for a cover piece about the expanding definition of marriage especially when they like everyone else in media punted over the Kevin Clash scandal.
Who am I kidding? There was no scandal because they did not examine what it means for a touted figure in children’s television to be trolling for teenage sexual partners.
I think they owe my kids an apology. Not because we can’t all deal with what it means for muppets to be hiding a sexual relationship for years (?!?)…No. Because in this case it was not their place to bring a politically motivated sexual dialogue into a place where children play.
A place where we still have not had the courage to speak of what Kevin Clash did to Elmo.
SCOTUS decides on child pornography
This decision is infinitely more important than the DOMA suit.
Let’s see how much press it gets, who weighs in on the issue, and what Justice Kennedy has to say about the honor and dignity of children. Now that he has shown this is an important issue for him: the rights and legal protection of children.
Time to pony up, Your Honor.
Pony up.
John 2:7 (NIV) Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.

The Right to Choose–a failure of simple imagination
Still haven’t heard from the senator from Ft. Worth…
Dear Senator Davis,
I still have not heard from you (which is strange). You said that you wanted to hear stories about abortion provisions in Texas. You said…and correct me if the national media got this part wrong…
That you were standing for women’s rights in Texas? I am waiting for my right to be heard.
Please let me know where I can send these small pink sneakers. Your office address is fine, I just want to know that you will receive them.
See, that is the difficult part for me–you have said you are listening and standing and representing, but are you listening to women like me? Are you standing for all of us?
The abused? The abandoned? The unwanted?
It’s just a tiny, adorable pair of baby shoes, right?
The feet they are missing. They are so small.
Sincerely,
Elea Lee
They haunt me

Cocktails and BOGO with the esteemed Dr. Gosnell
Wait a second, we all remember what we are talking about, right?!
I mean so close on the heels of Kermit Gosnell’s house of horrors…we are all clear, right? We are advocating for or against a process wherein a living baby is forced out of her mother’s uterus in cut up pieces to be reassembled like a bloody puzzle…
I mean, with all the well-heeled ladies thumping their augmented chests over women’s rights and all…
It started to sound like y’all have forgotten that half of the human beings who go into abortion mills come out in bloodied pieces.
So frickin’ tiny…
