Hey, teachers. Remember this kid? He grew up.

test 1

This could cause a problem with a very problematic solution.

Remember that “It’s against me religion” kid?

North Carolina State Senate leader Phil Berger said he will introduce legislation that would protect government employees in his state, such as registers of deeds and magistrates, from any disciplinary actions that might result from their choosing to discriminate against same-sex couples and same-sex families because their religious beliefs would be allowed to trump their obligations as public employees whose salaries are paid for from the taxes of the very people they choose to discriminate against.

The state senator, along with State House Speaker Thom Tillis, hired private counsel to appeal the Circuit Court decision that brought marriage equality to North Carolina.

When he made his announcement amid hymn singing and the waving of Christian flags, Berger stood with John Kallam Jr., the Rockingham County magistrate who, based on religious grounds, chose to quit his job rather than perform same-sex marriages.

“Forcing magistrate Kallam to abandon his religious beliefs to save his job is just wrong,” Sen. Berger told the crowd.

“The court’s expansion of the freedoms of some should not violate the well-recognized constitutional rights of others. Complying with the new marriage law imposed by the courts should not require our state employees to compromise their core religious beliefs and First Amendment rights in order to protect their livelihoods.”

When it comes to dealing with other legal papers of same sex families who were legally married by someone who did not have a problem with following the law because of their religious beliefs, such as wills, adoptions, or death certificates, Senator Berger did not address whether his legislation would also apply to them.

How it would apply to non-governmental private businesses also seems to not be on his radar.

But one can imagine where he would stand if a private business chose to discriminate based on “religious beliefs”.

We live in a country of laws. People in North Carolina live in a state of laws. But if this idea catches on among other states there will be two systems in this country, as there will be in his state.

There will be those citizens to whom all laws apply, and those who can pick and choose what laws they will follow.

This could cause confusion as there are many religions and various things that will be affected by the beliefs of them.

Or, will one religion have precedent over others.

Oh, but now……..

Pardon my giggling.

As we all know, God only send plagues on those who are deemed sinful.

Same goes with death and destruction.

You know, things like hurricanes and tornadoes are purposely aimed by the deity at those places frequented  by Biblical abominations.

This, of course, makes it hard to explain those tornadoes that have devastated areas of such Bible Belt states as Oklahoma, a hurricane like Katrina that hit New Orleans just after a convention of Baptist ministers ended,or that East Coats Hurricane that Pat Robertson said would hit Orlando, Florida because Disney did not kick the Gays out of Disneyworld when they had an unofficial “Gay Day”, but which veered to the North and struck his home town where his 700 Club empire has its Headquarters.

And now, even though patients with Ebola in the United States who are fewer in number than Rush Limbaugh’s wives, and as many as Newt Gingrich’s, all three domestic cases were in the same hospital in Dallas, Texas.

More ironic, while Rick Perry condemned the Affordable Care Act as government’s ignoring states’ rights, he wants that same government to step in and do what he condemns them for doing in all case except his, in the same manner that Mary Fallin, the governor of Oklahoma, refuses to cooperate with the federal government because the state is too independent to need it, constantly demands federal funds to clean up after floods, fires, and tornadoes.

Why does God send the storms and plagues to paces like that instead of, say, West Hollywood?

And why is it so many on the right side of the aisle have condemned the too big government, only to demand a new Ebola Czar position when a Surgeon General position already exists, but remains empty because of them, and socialized medicine” is an evil until these same people can benefit from it.

A deity with bad aim and plagues that make principles fluid bring into question what these guys say.

People actually think this way

I HAVE ACTUALLY HEARD THESE TWO COMMENTS IN REAL LIFE.

In less than two weeks now there is an important vote.

If you have to, buy your illogical friend a lottery ticket, and then give him or her a ride to polling place.

Why do the “virtuous” always go there immediately?

toilet

What is it with these people who claim their minds are always ascending heavenward as their thoughts are about God and virtue, that they seem to go directly to anything, no matter how irrelevant or deviant, in order to object to something they do not like, and quite often grasp at anything that is so opposite to their claims of high morals?

Years ago in Oklahoma City, when I first began advocating to have workshops for teachers about the existence of Gay kids in our schools and the conditions they faced in the schools where the law demanded they spend their days, the local newspaper wrote an article about the implosion of the Diversity in Education Committee that resulted from the reluctance of the chair to deal with Gay students in the discussions of minority sensitivity as was required by the formation of the committee.

Although I was not in the closet, I was also not a poster boy for the openly Gay teacher, yet, and the reporter, deciding she had found a real titillating hook for her article, and seeing how there would be a bit of sensationalism to grab the reader’s attention, outed me in a very public way.

My principal who at the time was supportive of what I was attempting to do for the Gay students, was concerned about how the public would react to this “news”, and wanted to prepare me for any negative reactions from parents that might come the day the article was published.

She was also concerned about how students might treat me differently and disrespectfully.

Her major warning was that the people of a city that prided itself on being close to Jesus would object to me because of my deviant sexual practices.

In reality, as I had never told anyone what my sexual practices were, or even if I engaged in any, I had to be prepared to be accused of being the practitioner of whatever people would dream up, accepting that what they would dream up would be the most objectionable sexual practices that could be dreamed up.

And, boy, did these virtuous people come up with some doozies.

They automatically went directly to the worst imaginings, almost as if I was their excuse to be able to do so. I was the “reason” they had their dirty thoughts, and as I had not mentioned any sexual practices, this meant that they were forced to keep picturing things in ever more deviant details.

I found it laughable because they seemed to enjoy and relish this journey, or they would have stopped themselves.

In Massachusetts recently, when the equal rights of the Transgender Community came up in legislation, the discussion of equal rights and the humanity of Transgender people, and what relevance the state and federal Constitutions and the Declaration of Independence had to the discussion, were abandoned by those who claimed the high road while the discussion became more concerned about which bathroom a Transgender person would use, and, not accepting the realities of gender identity and what it was to be Transgender, the opposition warned that they would choose to use the wrong ones.

The discussion of Civil and human rights was ignored in favor of talking about toilets.

In Houston, Texas, when the city council passed the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO), the religious right, led by pastors and pastoral associations, objected to the bill, not on the grounds based on Rights, civil or human, but on which bathroom would be chosen.

Opposition went so far as to even posit that a man would go through hormone therapy, live for at least one year totally according to his correct gender, go to counseling, and then go through the necessary surgery for gender re-alignment just so he could go into the ladies’ room and scope the babes.

That’s a lot to go through just to do that.

So, now in Houston, the ordinance that gives full and equal citizenship to a segment of its population is pejoratively referred to as the “Bathroom Bill”.

Why do these holier than thou types always seem to run immediately to the most deviant and socially unacceptable imaginings to find “reasons” to object to something.

I watched a pastor at a city council meeting in Oklahoma City many years ago that was dealing with adding “sexual orientation” to the city’s Human Right Ordinance stand at the podium describing the “standard sexual acts” of “those people” in graphic detail to the council members and the mayor as the meeting was being broadcast live on local cable.

The acts described repulsed the Gay people sitting in the council chamber.

To back up his claims, the pastor explained that, as pornography was illegal in the state, he had to drive down to Texas, go to the adult video store just across the state line to purchase the most disgusting magazine he could find, which obviously meant he browsed, so that he could bring it back across state lines, which was a public confession of having broken the law, to show it to the council.

So people would know the depth of the depravity contained in his selected magazine, he passed it to the pastor to his right, and it made its way slowly through the pastors until the last one who got to see it brought it up to the dais so the council could have a look.

If these people were as virtuous as they claim to be, they wouldn’t be so quick, and gleeful, to start thinking and talking about porcelain and perversion.

But they will insist that it is not their own suppression that is joyfully set free on a flimsy excuse, but that something as simple as the three words “I am Gay” just forces them to have to conjure up those impure thoughts, with, of course, no blame on their parts.

It is the religious right’s equivalent of the childish “see what you made me do”.

And therefore, no matter how deep they allow their thoughts to go, and no matter how much they enjoy them, they are still the innocents.

They need to get their minds out of the gutters of their own willful  choosing, and deal with the actual issues.

In this case, equal rights.

Divine priorities

nascar

Today, while doing some housework, I had the television on in the background.

When one of those “this program expresses the views of the advertiser and not that of station management” came on, I flipped through the channels to find something that wasn’t selling me the latest food preparation device, or attempting to give me a guilt trip about no supporting a village in the Andes, and I came upon the NASCAR race.

A NASCAR volunteer pastor was praying over all the cars and drivers, asking God to guide the race to a good conclusion.

It was one of the longest prayers before any sporting event I had ever experienced.

Although there was the obligatory reference to the troops (Pan to flag shot), God was never asked to do anything about the people in Western Africa, or all those people being harmed in the Middle East, or even a request to guard all those persecuted Christians in this country.

Nope, Just the request to pick the right race car in Jesus’s name.

The fluidity of conservative principles

mute

Today on conservative radio, as I was slowly snaking along the Suicide Alley section of Route 6 on Cape Cod, I listened as the host goaded his call-in listeners to say the most uninformed things about Ebola.

This, of course, meant that facts had to be ignored, and that, as much as they belittled the appointment of an Ebola Czar, they had to not only ignore that, because of the NRA’s pressure we do not have a Surgeon General, but the idea of a Czar was not Obama’s, but the idea of their beloved GOP.

Although he seems educated enough to have corrected the misconceptions, the host reinforced them, obviously to inflame his audience rather than educate them on the facts.

But in this case, and in things I have read, the biggest stretch of the truth is that those who have been fighting the veracity of the theory of evolution are now supporting their fear mongering by claiming that unlike what the doctors and scientists have been saying about the Ebola virus not being an air-borne contagion, they are now predicting the end of mankind as we know it when the virus mutates to survive against what  we know will kill it.

Suddenly the very basis of evolution, survival of the fittest, is the only way they can continue to spread their fears.

While the facts that only three citizens of the United States have been found to actually have Ebola, and that the virus came in by plane and not with children from Central America may not be all that earth shattering, the fact that evolution is now being relied on by its traditional opponents to support their claims, just might be.
