mixism (note the lower case, don’t violate my rights by capitalizing it) has one central tenet: only people of color should receive our most sacred sacrament, divorce. Therefore, this country’s current, offensive, divorce laws, which obviously apply equally to caucasians as well as to me and my fellow mixists, violate my religious freedom and that of all my followers. To compensate I will be petitioning local legislatures to pass a Freedom of Religion Act prohibiting divorce for all white folk, using Arizona as a model. For, as the sacred mix texts clearly state, we are only free when whites are unable to cut the ties that bind. My brothers and sisters, join me in my march to freedom!

    I invite everyone here to join me with the newly formed ‘Church of the Rolling Stop’. We are a branch off of Pastafarianism, but the only sect willing to speak out against the persecution of peoples around the world. As you are surely aware, when the FSM created the world and the beer volcanos and the stripper factories, stop signs and red lights were not part of the deal. Not only has the decline of pirate activity contributed to global warming, but so has the ever-spreading demand by intolerant governments to force us to stop our vehicles at intersections, when keeping them moving would allow us to get to religious services faster, reduce fuel consumption, and hopefully through the reversal of climate change bring aaaarg-loving pirates back to our seas. Throw down your shackles people, ignore those stop signs and red lights, and stand up for your religious rights!

    Hey Corner Stone, did you see none other then President Obama compared Michael Sam to Jackie Robinson? Now, I disagree with the comparison, but, you must admit, young Mr. Sam is collecting quite the amount of goodwill and from even the highest office in the land. Of course, I am to believe, per you, that all this “goodwill” won’t translate into financial reward. Uh-huh.

    Also, you had a problem with me being unable to name a current product or service Sam is endorsing; you were ever so correct. I cannot. I will mention, however, that I said he will have endorsements. ESPN says he will, Fortune says he will, etc.; note what I believe is called “future tense” in those examples. For example, if I say the “sun will rise in the East tomorrow” and your response is “show me a picture of the sun rising in the East now”, my response is “WTF are you talking about?”.

    Now, maybe you don’t like the Macro examples of ESPN and Fortune; fine, I can talk of an example on the Micro, too. Let’s say there’s a person (for fun, let’s call him “John Cole”) who says he wants to wear a Sam jersery. Now, I don’t know for 100% sure why he wants to wear a Sam jersey (I don’t think he said in his original post). Maybe he’s a Jack Ham fan and he likes that there’s a rhyming name there. Maybe he subconsciously makes anagrams with people’s names and it reminds him of his Mothers home cooking (“Mama’s Chile”; ok, he’d have to be a shitty speller, too). Maybe he’ll share with us why he wants to buy this jersey (and 50 times over). BTW, I suppose if Sam is to get his cut of jersey deals, he has to make a team, which, I suppose means he has to play a down (unless he Napolean MacCallum’s a knee walking from the locker room on opening day). I stand mildly corrected on that previous assertion; such a mild error doesn’t support your claims of bigotry, however.

    Now, if it were up to me in my world, Michael Sam’s announcement would have merited little attention and he would be treated exactly as every other single mid-round draft pick. All the draft talk would be about Manziel being a potential #1 pick of the Texans (which is fucking crazy talk, but, hey, maybe the Texans want to suck for a few more years). That hasn’t happened, obviously.

    As an aside, I have to admire the purity of this NewsMax headline: “Ann Coulter: Shysters Hijacking Tea Party”.

    I was really struck by a comment in their “Ted Nugent Kicked Off Campaign After ‘Mongrel’ Remark” article:

    But Nugent’s description of Obama as a “communist-nurtured, subhuman mongrel” in a January interview amounts to racism, critics say.

    So they’re dissociating themselves from the criticism of Nugent both with the “amounts to” qualifier on racism- sorry guys, that’s blatantly racist- and by attributing it to “critics” rather than coming out and saying it themselves. In any case, Newsmax is carefully burying the lede, which is that Abbot is refusing either to explicitly denounce Nugent’s comments or to publicly dissociate itself from him. Instead, it’s giving a mealy mouthed comment about him “say things or use language that Greg Abbott would not endorse or agree with” while continuing to welcome his support.

The cook who beats him up throws a sign down on him “we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone” after he wins. It was the first time I realized those signs were, of course, meant to signal to some people–non whites–that they would not be welcome in the restaurant without the restaurant owner having to come out with it directly.

    So many problems with this law. First of all, it gives me the impression that there is only one sin that these Christians are opposed to. If the argument is that serving gays is tantamount to endorsing our sins, then serving everyone else is tantamount to endorsing their sins. So murderers, pedophiles, rapists, thieves, etc. They are saying they approve of those things by drawing the line here. Which is a pretty sad statement on their moral values.

    Second, these people have repeatedly argued that gays do not exist. There are only straight people who sin. They’ve made that argument in court repeatedly when judges pondered the question of whether or not we are or should be a protected class. How can they now argue for the right to legally discriminate against a class of people who they themselves have argued does not exist? I hope that gets thrown in their face at the very first lawsuit.

    Third, I know exactly how we need to deal with this. We need to recruit legions of straight allies to dress and act in ways that haters think gays dress and act and go in to their establishments only to get kicked out. Then sue them. Repeatedly. Over and over until we break them. Because unless they want some sort of government inquisition and a mandatory pink triangle patch, they are going to fuck up and refuse to serve straight people. And I want the straight people who get caught up by their bigoted false positives to make them pay.

    Finally, I don’t even know whether or not I would count as gay to these guys any more. Kate’s been dead over a year now. There’s no one else. I’m celibate. Isn’t that just as good as not being gay? Hate the sin, love the sinner and all that, am I right? (Heh, yeah right. Hate is the key word for them. That’s their core competency.)

    On a serious note, are these laws so broadly written that a business could refuse to serve an African American or a Jew? After all segregation and anti-Semitism were defended on religious grounds.

    SLAVERY was defended on religious grounds.

    I do wonder why Xians keep gliding over Numbers 25? God saves the Chosen People from yet another plague (what do you think they were “chosen” for? Biological experiments?) by Phineas killing the interracial couple in their tent. Because, you know, interracial.

    Not even the apologists have managed to say anything nice about that one!

    I also wonder why so many “Constitutional Originalists” are opposed to the Original Testament?
