“We had 3 house hearings and can not get a straighr. The worsr answer came from Hillary Clinton. After all, what kind of answer did you expect to get from her. All she ever does is Lie. I cannot believe the congress let her get away with saying "What difference does it make now, the people are dead"”

Video: Hillary Clinton Publicly Supports Gay Marriage With The HRC

I'm not sure what took so long for Hillary Rodham Clinton to support gay marriage: didn't she realize that all marriages suck after her husband Bill Clinton was getting big blow lebowskis from that secretary floozy Monica Lewinski? At the very least, maybe she hates gays and wants them all to suffer the way she did when realizing all spouses (including democrats) will inevitably become cheating thieves. It's the American way! But being that she probably actually cares about human rights, and being homophoic is so 1999, we're happy to see her teaming up with the nation's leading EFF YOU HOMOPHOBES AND ALL OTHER H8ERS clique, the Human Rights Campaign. Watch the video below, where Hillary Clinton officially endorses gay marriage and all other equal rights for gay people with the HRC stamp of approval. GLAAD is so jealous! Watch below:

Where the U.S is entering 2013.

Well, with the elections behind us and progressive style government ahead of us, one only hopes for a Miracle. I don't think people in general know what is in tore for the United States. It really shouldn't be much of a surprise. The current President spends more that our previous President, yet, it is mostly forgiven. The past President was warish, dumb and not to up on events yet this President with all his education makes big issues out of little things like taxing the rich instead of looking at our over the cliff spending. It is funny how the media ws all over the past President. Everything he did was, against the middle class or pro rich, the media, the Senators and Congressmen were on the record speaking of his spending and how it was unconstitutional. Yet, those same watchdogs in the media have suddenly fallen quiet. It is truly a sad turn of events these past 48 months have...

The New York Post Endorses Mitt Romney For President

Because I judge all of my yuppie actions based on what the old-as-dirt New York Post says, it's crucial news to me and you that the publication has endorsed Mitt Romney for president. I like to think I'm doing pretty good at hiding my incredulity in this without dipping this article in a fatty vat of sarcasm, but as I'm typing that sentence every molecule in my brain is screaming RIGHT BECAUSE I'M REALLY GOING TO LET THE EFFING NEW YORK POST TELL ME WHO TO VOTE FOR. I should not have typed that. "In 12 days, the nation will return to the polls — to reject, or to ratify, the results of the great Barack Obama experiment. That is, to reject or to ratify the notion that hoping for change is a sound footing for productive national policy. But, by the evidence, it is not. It cannot create jobs. It cannot reduce deficits. It cannot restore foreign confidence in Ame...

Dan Savage, creator of the It Gets Better Project, host of MTV's sex-ed series Savage U, and anti-bullying advocate known for never holding his tongue may have gone too far in an anti-gay bullying speech he made to students at Sutter Union High School in California. In front of a lecture hall filled with thousands of people, Savage suddenly began an anti-homophobia tirade that blasted the Bible, causing several audience members to storm out.

Ology Interview: Dan Savage Talks Sex And Savage U

“We can learn to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about gay people,” he begins, “the same way we have learned to ignore the bullshit in the Bible about shellfish, about slavery, about dinner, about farming, about menstruation, about virginity, about masturbation,” he told the young students. “We ignore bullshit in the Bible about all sorts of things.” Watch this segment and more below:

Before this point in his speech, students had already began to leave the auditorium in protest, but you see the number of teens fed up with Savage’s commentary dramatically increase as he discusses the topics that we as a culture ignore when it comes to the Bible. A lot of his commentary, however, is met with applause—especially when he calls the students who have left the auditorium “pansy-assed” for not remaining in their seats.

What do you think of Dan Savage’s speech? Was he right to express that opinion in front of high schoolers, or did he go too far? Let us know in the comments.

Dan Savage has no clue what the Bible teaches about slavery. He cannot make the distinction between prescriptive and descriptive laws, and God's temporal and specific commands, versus general fixed ones. Why is this? Because he has no desire to learn what the Bible actually says, he just knows that the Bible condemns sex between people of the same gender, and he does not like that particular doctrine. Rather that listen to a raunchy sex columnist, why not learn from Paul Copan, Daniel B Wallace, Tom Gilson, and Crag Blomberg who are all actually knowledgeable in this area?

Disabled 1: Agree, R. Calling people "Pansy-assed" and "Bible guys" doesn't necessarily fit well in an anti-bullying speech for High School students.

I'm just curious about who Dan Savage is defending himself against. Is it Christians/anyone who believes in the Bible or is it anti-gay people? The two are not synonymous.

I think people left not because they felt "gay bashing" is A-OK, but because of Dan's rather crude analysis of the Bible, which seemingly makes it out to be a completely ludicrous thing by which to live. I think any real Christian is aware of the contradictions in the Bible as well as the resolution of those contradictions in the New Testament (one example of difference between Old and New Testaments is the movement away from "eye for an eye" to "turn the other cheek").

I agree with Dan in that the Bible shouldn't be used as a "document" justifying hate and violence. Nevertheless, a speech like this can understandably be seen as careless, as it only furthers the anti-Christian subculture that is evolving from this and other partial and unknowingly incomplete "critical Bible analyses."

I wonder if Dan Savage has or would talk about other religious holy books using the term "bullshit," or if that language is only in style for public enemy #1 of the moment - the Christian.

Meh.
