Not Just No...

Outrage as activists and journalists say the Star Spangled Banner should no longer be the National Anthem because it was written by slave owner Francis Scott Key - and suggest John Lennon's Imagine as a replacement

I’m sick and tired of having to listen...

...to this gay marriage crap. That doesn’t mean I’m for or agin. I’m just tired of the zero sum dialogue on it from both sides. I think the Cajun made this suggestion some time back [and I’m too lazy to look up the post]. Make the union between two consenting adults a purely civil matter with all the crap that comes with it. The matter of finding a priest, preacher, or shaman to bless the union should be separate and apart and have not one damn thing to do with the legality of the union with the understanding that the State has no power, direct or indirect, to force said priest, preacher, or shaman to bless any union it finds offensive to its religion. That means you don't get to pull a church's tax exemption because they "violate" the rights of a couple because they refuse said blessing.

If gays want to be stuck in unhappy unions that require a fricking lawyer to sort out more power to them. Insanity crosses all lines.

That being said I’m oh so tired of judges finding Constitutional rights where none were before while they ignore the rights clearly stated in the document. Over time marriage has at times been a duty, an obligation, and thankfully in recent times a choice, but it never been a right. You guys in the judiciary need to stop making this shit up as you go along. Enough already.

H/T to the Cajun.

Liar, liar, pants on ....

Senator Jon Kyl [R-AZ] claims that in a private conversation President Obama said on securing the border

The problem is, he said, if we secure the border, then you all won't have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.

If true the President is willing to hold U. S. citizens on the Mexican border hostage to get what he wants. The Obama Administration has in effect called Kyl a liar, and we have a he said he said. While I have no reason to trust the word of Kyl, he’s also given me no reason to doubt him. Obama on the other hand….

If you as a police officer...

...have a problem with a citizen recording you in the course of your official duties, as the their actions are not directly interfering with you doing your job, then you are probably doing something you shouldn't be doing. Most officers I know swore an oath when they took the job. Reread the part about the upholding the Constitution.

H/T to Firehand.
