I was just reading an article on Uganda's homophobia in action.  The first thing I thought of was "man, this is a tea bagger's wet dream."  It's funny to see someone else make a similar connection.

Sadly, more than just a wet dream.
Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fellowship_%28Christian_organization%29#The_Fellowship_and_UgandaThe Fellowship, through Representative Joe Pitts (R.-Pa.), redirected millions in US aid to Uganda from sex education programs to abstinence programs, thereby causing an evangelical revival, which included condom burnings.

In a November 2009 NPR interview, Sharlet alleged that Ugandan Fellowship associates David Bahati and Nsaba Buturo were behind the recent proposed bill in Uganda that called for the death penalty for gays. Bahati cited a conversation with Fellowship members in 2008 as having inspired the legislation.

Sharlet reveals that David Bahati, the Uganda legislator backing the bill, reportedly first floated the idea of executing gays during The Family's Uganda National Prayer Breakfast in 2008. Sharlet described Bahati as a "rising star" in the Fellowship who has attended the National Prayer Breakfast in the United States and, until the news over the gay execution law broke, was scheduled to attend the 2010 U.S. National Prayer Breakfast.

Ah, the Family.


What a bunch of fucking douchebags.

I know it ain't gonna happen, but if it were, the seceding states ought to be required to pay their portion of the national debt. That would be nice.

I mentioned that Texas would be at the mercy of Mexico.  For some reason the asshats think that Texas could defend itself from Mexico and the cartels. almost that federal funding for the military bases gone. ..sure thing.

Yeah, their ideas on what a proper defense would cost are laughable.  I've heard these morons make their case for independence, and I say let 'em have it.  They're an embarrassment anyway.

Stella should get out before then, though.

Obviously.

It's just another bagger stunt, though, isn't it?

Of course.  It'll never HAPPEN.

Hell, Rick Perry has come out and said he doesn't support it.

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

Perry was yammering about secession a few years ago, I think, but it was a non-issue then.  :lulz:

Quote from: The Good Reverend Roger on November 13, 2012, 05:20:57 PM
Basically, in Texas, 1 person in 857 wants to secede.

This whole thing is a non-starter.  It's a teabagger stunt.

You are being freaked out by what is basically the Sarah Palin fan club.

Ah. This.  :)

Austin has a petition to remain part of the US if Texas seceeds.

Literally every state except Rhode Island has at least one petition to secede going. :lulz: Oh man.

Why would anyone start a petition to secede for a blue state? That doesn't even make sense.

Because once they can't get their Obamaphones and their Federal monies and their ACORN propaganda, they will see the natural rightness of Hard Work and the Conservative Cause.

Mesozoic Mister Nigel

So basically they're trying to use a democratic process to undermine democracy, because they didn't like the results of democracy the first time?  :lulz:

It's ingenious.

Either that, or logic is playing no part in what is happening here.  I'm going for the latter explanation.

Haha, that's my reaction to the vast majority of what people think/do when it comes to politics.   :lol:
