First of all, by dealing with, including sending aid and making false treaties to countries who have failed to evolve out of the dark ages we legitimatize their actions by keeping our collective heads in the sand.

And if and when bakers, florists and caterers develop hate and become violent against homosexuals, I'll be the first in line to condemn their actions. These businesses are not acting out of hate but rather individual religious convictions that are protected under the first amendment.

Comparing lynching's etc. to gay wedding cakes rings hollow and serves as an insult to the plight of African Americans. You do realize the average gay couple are more educated and earn more than the average hetero couple? Gays certainly should be allowed to marry and enjoy the same benefits it brings in all 50 states but people who are willing to give up profits due to religious beliefs should be tolerated as well.

I intentionally just post old links to see if anyone will read them and are hip to current events. Events that happen that are far more offensive than a rural pizza shop refusing service.

This issue is about terminating 'service'.

This is about appeasing and allowing these monsters to continue to terrorize and grow like a malignant cancer.

I see through the hypocrisy. The ones you respect and adore are the ones I suspect and loathe.

Dell, I am not trying to compare lynching's to wedding cakes, simply pointing out that ignorance is followed by intolerance leading to violence. And forgive me but I'm sick of hearing that the bible condemns homosexuality, the same excuse racists use to belittle black folks. I have a neighbor (sadly) that when we first met, described in detail how according to his understanding of biblical texts, all black folks are descendants of Cain therefore predisposed to violence and lawlessness....I'm all for religious freedom but not at the expense of human rights. These other societies that you rightly (in my view) condemn are quick to point out that they are following their religious beliefs. All the major religions of the world preach love and brotherhood while many of their followers seek excuses to hate and revile.

Oh ffs.

How many people go out to eat and inform the waiter and/or owner of their sexual orientation? This is a preposterous micro-issue that solves absolutely nothing of real importance but mundane hypothetical situations that might happen.

If a person in this country wants to take a risk and open their own business then at the very least they should have the right to refuse service which in itself is a horrible business decision that hopefully would rarely be made.

The fact that a local ABC-affiliate part of the Disney tolerance for everyone but white Christians mafiosi is behind it just makes my skin crawl. They are the biggest bunch of cowards masquerading as bullies in the country.

This country is overrun with fragile narcissists. With their sexual abuse alert dogs and their constant need to find micro-issues online so they can bully people they know won't come and chop their heads off.

Pardon me as I shed a tear for these poor oppressed special snowflakes.

Yes, tom. Lets just tell anyone ever treated as less than equal in this country that they should be grateful that they only suffer hurt feelings and shame and humiliation. That no matter what bs reason someone comes up with to be cruel, that you should be appreciative that its not worse. Just accept that we wish to treat some humans here as just plain better than others, all men created equal notwithstanding. Lost your job? Tough. Have to pay taxes on your money from your dead spouse that i dont have to pay? Too bad.

The Democratic platform: There is a war on women, black people are oppressed, the economy is fine, global warming is your fault and now you're going to pay for it, big government is the answer to everything, there is no God, homosexuality is just as normal or even superior to heterosexuality, illegal immigrants have just as many rights as a U.S. citizen, only whites can be racist and they owe every other race, men are inferior to women, strict gun control, feelings are more important than the truth, their theories over ride & exceed all facts, moral relativism (nothing is right or wrong,) socialism is better than freedom, multiculturalism and diversity are somehow good for society, every culture is equal to every other culture, gender is a social construct, and to hate everything else about America. It's nothing but social engineering through mass propaganda and the weak minded lemmings drink it like Kool-Aid. Check mate.

Seriously Dell??? This is nothing more than typical right wing talking points mixed with a generous amount of "anyone who disagrees with me is an idiot" It serves nothing but Pants' over-inflated ego. Reducing the world's problems to paranoid rants solves absolutely nothing.

Not lost, just borrowed.

The Pentagon is unable to account for more than $500 million in U.S. military aid given to Yemen, amid fears that the weaponry, aircraft and equipment is at risk of being seized by Iranian-backed rebels or al-Qaeda, according to U.S. officials.

And then...

Always pull out

A day after suicide bombers attacked a pair of mosques in the Yemeni capital, the U.S. military decided to pull the remainder of its troops out of the rapidly fragmenting nation, CBS News confirmed Saturday.

And then...
