My favorite quote of the week on the bigots who won the day in Maine:It is proof, yet again, that civil rights should never be decided by mob rule—but the hateful people behind Yes on 1 capitalize on spreading fear—suckling pigs at the teat of dying, mud-covered sow of homophobia.
The hog is going to die. Hate alone cannot sustain that beast.

It’s amazing to me that Mitt Romney brings up France as a scary comparison point to himself so often when he spent years there and speaks the language. It’s such a minor point, but telling. Of all the people running for president, Mitt Romney has to be the most aware that the rightwing caricature of ... (0 comments)Mother Teresa Doesn't Deserve Sainthood
Case in point. It’s amazing how all the famous/respected Catholic figures from the 1990s have turned out to be incredibly corrupt, isn’t it? I’m sure they’re somehow connected.

Unfortunately I think that you are wrong. Hate and bigotry has supported mankind since time immortal. As long as Christians defy the beliefs that Christ taught and support hatred like we have been seeing, it will continue.
I hope I'm right :-| I try not to underestimate the evil that Man is capable of.
While I also hope you are right, what I constantly see happening in the fundamentalist camps points in the opposite direction.
Too true. Unfortunately, too true…
