I hope this guy doesn’t also pretend to be a good Christian as well as a normal human being. He isn’t either, but would like everyone else to embrace the kind of knee-jerk animal-like reaction to life that he praises.

You’d think people who don’t like their ‘productivity’ being taxed-would instead opt for the VAT tax wherein people are only taxed for what they buy, not what they earn. Of course this wouldn’t shift the tax burden onto the poor (which is their real goal). And then the whiners would lose one of their best talking points if they couldn’t moan about the ‘unproductive’ people who don’t pay (income)taxes.

These are the folks who dream of returning to the 1950s, that time when children WERE constantly under the supervision of almost every adult in their community, and people did not shrink from identifying as a community member.
Yet a similar idea becomes a shocking outrage from a 21st century vantage point. If they really can’t stomach a sense of community toward their fellow citizens nor children, then what could they truly want? They seem to want the benefits of an earlier, simpler time, without the diminished personal freedom that came with it. I wish these folks could look in a mirror and see a bit of reality shining back at them.

So Fox is against the Episcopal Church now. They are certainly taking sides with the anti-gay Christians by giving them a voice, and not having any Episcopalians to debate Perkins. tsk tsk. I feel for the Christians who would like other Christians to stop promoting hate in the name of Jesus. Evangelicals like Perkins not only applaud the “kill the gays” bills in Uganda. They are responsible for a lot of attacks on gays around the world. Their brand of Christianity brings death and destruction not just for their ‘enemies’, but for other Christians who fall for their false preaching. I have first-hand knowledge that ‘Kill the Gays’ Christianity is now being preached in the US by immigrant African Christians.

These Fox Catholics obviously don’t understand how things work in non-Catholic churches. In most cases, if protestant congregants don’t like the pastor they just get rid of him/her and get a new one. It is quite common and routine. On the other hand in Catholic churches the people have little say over who their pastor is.
Any clergy working at a university ought to be more sensitive to their ‘audience’ and its sensibilities. Anti-gay doesn’t work for most young people. And as far as they are concerned it is their right to have an opionion on the pastors serving their community.
I know this will fall on deaf ears, but "Bill, inform yourself! Get out of your bubble. Go out into the world and learn things about other people. Don’t assume that you already know it all. "

“chart a course that is inclusive of everyone” said the man who doesn’t support marriage equality.
Someday in the future I hope that people who want to hate others will stop pretending that their hatred is ok because it comes from their religion, a religion whose basic ideals they have never managed to grasp anyway.

With a lifetime limit of 60 months eligibility for collecting welfare (TANF) those babies better come fairly quickly so the welfare queens can reap the $40 cash per month having another mouth to feed will provide them with. That’s on top of the $325 odd that they get with one baby. Knowing the facts about welfare recipients would really spoil the whole welfare resentment meme that right wingers have been clinging. Welfare reform is the best kept secret success of the Republican party.

Bill is wrong about the superiority of the 1950s. Things have really gone downhill for us since the industrial revolution. Oh sure that era saw an increase in overall income and population growth, but frankly prior to the Industrial Revolution most people were farmers. People who grow their own food are so much more self-reliant and hard working than 1950s types with their fancy automobiles and clothes washing machines. And talk about respectful! People with only a 3rd grade education had a holy reverence for public institutions and the educated people who worked in such places. The people of the 1810s just had their act together didn’t they?

Ironically this firefighter, who Kelly felt should not be collecting disability, will now collect millions for the unnecessary slander committed against him. They even admitted on air that the guy asked for any job in the fire department! But they vilified him anyway. What makes Fox think it can go after private citizens this way? Kelly was correct, something doesn’t smell right here, and its the odor of self-righteous Kelly in the afternoon.

According to right wingers, no one ever deserves a second chance. No matter that she served her 22 years in prison and is apparently now a productive member of society. This is the mentality of our legal system as filtered through 40 years of right wing justice: Criminals should serve 4 times the sentence, then crawl in a hole and disappear. This excessively punitive culture is the reason why we are seeing domestic terrorism via white supremacists recently released from prison. These are the not-so-reformed products of our legal system.

I’m with you Aria. Hoping for something better after a long slog through this life! People from all cultures have had near death experiences. Some have experiences that mesh with their faith, whether Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, Christian or Muslim. But most of these experiences don’t have a traditional religious theme, but they do have many similarities, the tunnel, the bright light, feelings of love and acceptance. Whether its a real experience, or a natural result of brain death, it sounds like a good way to end things.

I remember seeing a group of Japanese tourists visiting Pearl Harbor – specifically the ship on which the Japanese signed surrender documents at the end of the war. I was impressed that they would choose to visit the site of their country’s humiliation. This petty tantrum of Fox bots is embarrassing in comparison to those mature humble tourists from Japan. There is something basically wrong with these Fox people. They do not represent the best of the USA, but the absolute childish, selfish worst.

If Fox were an organized group rather than an entertainment network, I’m sure it would rank as a hate-group too. So no surprise that they defend other haters. The problem with right wing media and other hate groups is not that they arm people and send them out to do damage, but they give simple cover to the racists, zenophobes, christianists and others who might do harm. Certainly they harm our country each day with their hate talk.

The Sequester is a Tea Party wet dream for which they refuse to take any responsibility.
First we hear that these cuts will be insignificant. Next if they do hurt anyone then its the Dems fault for insisting on increasing tax revenues. Finally the cuts being made by the president are designed to harm.
The Republicans misleadingly imply that the cuts will affect the entire budget by only 2.5% across the board, rather than noting that only discretionary spending is affected and this means 10% cuts to some programs.
Republicans ignore the reality that voters are overwhelmingly in support of tax increases, or in this case closing tax loopholes. But Repub’s play the blame game (not THOSE cuts!) instead being the people’s representatives, yet again.
