If it’s a choice to use the restroom, perhaps transgendered people should choose to do their business directly on the desk of Florida State Rep. Fred Artiles.

So… I decide to examine said websitetrying to garner why they would hate the AP so much.
The website is the usual US/God idolatry double combo, with Freedom Fries and a one-liter container of Tea [Party]. And they think it’s swell to preach political endorsements from the pulpit, but not okay to eliminate their tax-exempt status, because Mammon in the hands of the evil, secular government is just plain wrong.
After scrolling through the treacherous slippery slope of earnest treacle, I finally note a small link denoting “Wall Builders” a psuedo-historian website. Ah! now we’re getting warm:
As for the Black-Robe story (which I honestly thought was some sort of Satanic pizza delivery cult–my apologies to Satanist everywhere):
[Spoiler]It’s Sunday morning in 1776. A place they call the British Colonies. A minister “preaching it”, is wearing a black robe as was the custom of the day (or maybe not–ask David B., if he tells you one thing, you’ll always know it was the opposite). As he wraps up his sermon on Ecclesiastes,
He removed his clerical robes to show that he was wearing his uniform as a militia colonel with WWJD medals strewn across his chest and cries to his congregation:
Ha ha! Just kidding, instead:
Sadly, the 8th never saw action until Peter was promoted to General because they were too busy fighting for liberty rather than the British.

This being a frequently held view among Republicans actually explains a lot. Many of them give the impression that they haven’t evacuated their bowels in a number of years.
My head hurt trying to grasp the logic of this one.
NE Senator killed his own concealed carry bill for military spouses because gay marriage.
So he wanted the spouses of military personal to be able to get concealed carry permits without a wait. This is so confusing to his little pea brain he wants everyone to have guns but he doesn’t want to do anything that might help teh 2 married military gay couples in the state so he scraps the whole thing.
I’m not a huge gun fan, but if there’s one situation where i might actually want a gun for self-defense, it might be if i were gay and living in Nebraska.
Even if we leave aside the issue of gay marriage, the Senator’s handgun bill is nothing but typical military pandering. If there does need to be a waiting period for residency, then military spouses should have to follow the rules like everyone else. And if the residency period itself is the problem, then why not just eliminate it for everyone?
Conservatives do that a lot: “If ONE person breaks the rules/cheats the system/can get away with something under the rules that we didn’t account for… then we have to kill the program/bill to prevent the slim likelihood of that event happening.”
