Blend-o-licious endorsements...



The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House Blend:
"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda, anti-Christian bigotry, and radical transgender advocacy."

He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior." (CCLM's web site, 10/15/07)


Ex-gay "Christian" activist James Hartline on Pam:
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."
(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," 9/4/2006, written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).

"Pam is a 'twisted lesbian sister' and an 'embittered lesbian' of the 'self-imposed gutteral experiences of the gay ghetto.'" -- 9/5/2008



Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality heartily endorses the Blend, calling Pam:

A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."
(Concerned Women for America's radio show [9:15], 1/25/07)

"A nutty lesbian blogger."
(MassResistance radio show [16:25], 2/3/07)


Pam's House Blend always seems to find these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The home state of her wife? I know, they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.

Bush gay-bashes again - threatens veto over DC domestic partner registry

by: Pam Spaulding

Wed Jun 27, 2007 at 12:00:00 PM EDT


Wow. How desperate is this man to gain a few approval points (with his Base abandoning him over immigration and Iraq)? The appropriate bill for the District of Columbia faces Dear Leader's pen because it contains a measure that supports a domestic partner registry that allows basic rights married couples take for granted. (HRC):
"With his popularity at an all-time low, this president has yet again dipped his cup into the well of anti-gay bigotry," said Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese. "He has issued a veto threat on funding for the District of Columbia because long-term, committed couples want to have such basic rights as visiting each other in the hospital and making medical decisions for their partner. The anti-gay zeal of this administration has reached a new low."
Chris Johnson at HRC's new blog BackStory says that it appears to be a coordinated attack by the usual bible beaters (specifically the Family Research Council), the White House and Capitol Hill Republicans led by Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA). Anything gay and these goons are on it.

Read the official White House communication on the matter:

The administration strongly opposes the bill?s exclusion of a longstanding provision that disallows the use of federal funds to register unmarried, cohabitating couples in the district, to enable them to qualify for benefits on the same basis as legally married couples. Under federal law, legal marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Federal tax dollars are not used to extend employment benefits to domestic partners of federal employees, and D.C. should not enjoy an exception to this rule. If the final version of H.R. 2829 does not include this longstanding provision, the president?s senior advisors would recommend he veto the bill.
It's outrageous -- and ironic, because Mary Cheney and Heather Poe had baby Samuel in D.C., not gay-hostile Virginia. I guess Bush wants to screw over Darth's grandchild. John @ Americablog:
What Bush is saying is that should Heather end up in a hospital in DC, dying, Mary won't be allowed to see her because she's not "family." What Bush is saying is that if Mary and Heather's baby, Samuel David Cheney, ends up in a DC hospital with a serious illness (and forget him if he ends up in Virginia) only one parent (we're not sure which) will be allowed to visit because both clearly aren't the biological parent of their baby... Yet now those rights are in danger of being taken away by the man Mary helped get elected. Way to go, mom.)
Yes, that's what the White House is saying. If Darth is running the show at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, he clearly doesn't care what happens to his grandchild's family.

Here is what I said on America Blog in the comments...
...of his similar post:

When is ANYONE going to get it??? The Cheneys do not have ANYTHING to worry about. They and theirs will ALWAYS be taken care of - they are so mega rich and insulated that none of this sh*t means anything. The more we "hand wring" the more they laugh at us from their tower-view in the sky.

None of the "plebeian" issues such as abortions, gay rights, stem cells, none of it matters to people at the highest levels - they only care about tax cuts so they can build their compounds, buy their gay rights, have the top European stem cell treatments available, and fly their women to Canada or Europe for a "spa/abortion vacation."

The more we act shocked at this the dumber we look.

Sorry, but they are laughing at us.

And they love all the fighting about gay rights, abortion, all these non-issues to them, because it keeps our minds off the REAL prize - they are robbing this country blind.

It is getting quite a few favorable agreements in the comments.


I saw that EE
and you are right on.

The rules of the world don't apply to the Cheney family.  They can and will do what they want. 

He proves it on a daily basis - either on social issues or in matters of constitutional / governmental authority.

It would be awfully nice if Elizabeth Edwards got back on the phone with Chris Matthews and pointed this out to the rest of the world.

Too True, But What About Heather . . .
I can't help but wonder, because she's not a Cheney, and not Sam's biological mom.  I wonder just how happy she is about all this.  We never seem to hear from her at all. 

If anything were to happen to Mary, would the Cheneys actually give custody to Heather? 

Why can't I be both spiritual AND gay? I learned to kneel in church!!


[ Parent ]
says it all
This exerpt from the White House release pretty much says it all:
"Federal tax dollars are not used to extend employment benefits to domestic partners of federal employees"
What part of second class citizen do most people not understand?  Repeal DOMA now. 

Uh Oh
Someone alert the State Dept. because they pay for and allow the domestic partners of foreign service employees to travel with them to their assignments.

Shit
Stuff like this makes me sick and always will.

is it 2009..........YET?
Just when you think there isn't an iota more of HATE you have the capacity to hold in one body...Cheney/Bush find a way to up the anty.
Heather and Mary....aren't ya F*CKIN proud of your helping re-elect Mary's puss-filled father?

No, you were probably right.
I heard that he eats kittens.

Hold it right there
You are only one degree away from sexual innuendo so revolting that it would cause the universe to collapse upon itself. I have to go Lysol my brain now.

What the hell was I doing in Oaxaca in 1992, on the eve of the Zapatista revolution?

I miss JoshW.
If you're out there, JoshW, come home.  Click your sandals 3 times and say, "There's no place like Pam's Place, there's no place like Pam's Place, there's no place like Pam's Place."

Then your world will become all spinny and bright and when you awaken, you'll be in black in white.  I'll be there (an Auntie Em, of sorts) and so will Mena (the once upon a time Tinwoman) and the Kid (the beloved Scarecrow, whom you'd missed most of all) and Pam and Russ and Toto too.  And the Wicked Witches of the West and East will have been squished and melted and everything will be beautiful and nothing will ever hurt, forever and ever.


[ Parent ]
I miss him too
I hope he comes back in from the cold soon...

I think that your recipe for H20 is working on the Witch of the West though ;-)

[ Parent ]
Oh dear, we're thinking alike!
Maybe we do spend too much time here.  I have been seeing that Josh has been posting, trying over and over to get someone to engage him.  The mental image that I got was the Wicked Witch getting water dumped on her and the scream of "I'm meeeeelllllllttting!".  He did that over at another thread at one point too and it was kind of funny to watch him post the same thing over and over trying to get attention but then Russ went and emboldened him and we all followed suit.  Live and learn.

Troll Baiter
Yeah, sorry about that... kinda.  My theory was that if I engaged the troll in that post, he'd be too busy for the others.  Oh, and I love flaming trolls (I mean, "throwing words at trolls", I don't mean an exaggerated sterotype of a homosexual troll.)

Come back to the five-and-dime, JoshW, JoshW.  I'll be good, I promise!

[ Parent ]
No biggie.
We were all guilty of it.

[ Parent ]
No problem at all
I spent much more time engaging the house troll that, when he and "DonDigby" degenerated into such brilliant lines such as "You can suck my dick, you prick," I realized that this had gone from mild amusement to a serious waste of time.  I have my trip coming up and a lot of shit to square away before I leave town, so this is the perfect time to take a breather. 

Don't worry about anything you did, Russ. 

Will talk to you all next week!


[ Parent ]
Hey y'all
I am here, popping in and out and reading posts.  I am doing my best to keep another 200+ thread of disengenuous lib baiting and lib hating from a certain you-know-who and his puppet (just like Beetlejuice and the Candyman--say their names and they appear).  It's not that I can't handle it--I am a gay man in Bush's America!--but I just have better things to do than spar with this idiot and his little puppet.

I am gonna devote some time to other projects, enjoy my vacation in Duluth with my new bf, and come back fresh next week.  In the meantime, don't give the troll the satisfaction.  He's a vampire of epic proportions.

See you next week!


[ Parent ]
Good to hear you're well
Have a great time in beautiful scenic Duluth, and tell your boy hi for us! :-)

Don't ever feel like not responding makes you look unequal to the task.  If you see a guy in a sandwich board and clothes that haven't been washed in over a year wailing "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!" you don't have to get into a theological debate with him. You know he's crazy, everyone else knows he's crazy, maybe even he knows he's crazy and just likes the attention.

[ Parent ]
Excellent analogy, CK.
Have fun, JW - enjoy the vacation!

[ Parent ]
Thanks everyone.
And like SuburbanHomo said, great analogy.  :)

[ Parent ]
Have fun!
Just one question though.  I have been to Duluth and am wondering why you are going there.  Boating/fishing on Lake Superior?  It seemed nice enough but a little out of the way!

My America includes LGBT families.

[ Parent ]
Nope
Just a place my bf picked out.  That is more his area than mine, so he knows all the cool things.  As far as being out of the way, that is what we were both looking for!  :)

[ Parent ]
You have a dirty mind.
Now I need brain bleach too.  Ick!

Mary and Heather
don't give a rat's ass about what happens to other folks.  The fact that they happen to be lesbians is secondary (or maybe even tertiary) to the fact that they're insulated and rich and selfish.  They've got theirs and they'll always have it and they obviously don't care about those that aren't in the privileged circle provided by Daddy Dick.

embarresment to lesbo-sapiens
Mary & Heather = embarresment to lesbo-sapiens

and queer men aren't your biggest fans EITHER!


Do ya think that Mary and Heather have queer pals?
They couldn't go into a queer joint.  They'd be hissed and booed.  Can they even take a walk in the park?  They might have a compound, but they aren't free if they can't go where they wish without people booing them and since they're hated by the right and the left, there must be few, safe public places. 

[ Parent ]
Should they break up ...
Do you think Mary would EVER find another woman?

Where we should go to "socialize" with other lesbians?  Maybe there is an underground club for the PRIVILEGED lesbians?

These FREAKS of nature (the bushs, cheneys, etc.) are despicable.  They will get their Karma!


[ Parent ]
Second Class Citizens
It's not just gays who are targeted here; until DC is a state, it will constantly be subjected to misrule and oppression. It's basically a colony or satrap of the Federal government.  When Pepublicans are in power in Congress, they lord it over DC, showing how powerful they are to deny its citizens their rights.  And when they're not in power and we have a Republican president, he keeps the ball rolling.  How much longer before the farce is over?  Make DC a state NOW!

"In order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant."  The Colbert Report

It just dawned on me....
In case anyone is wondering about those Regent University graduates and their influence in Washington, here's a perfect example. It's Troglodyte's like these that are advising Chimpy McFlightsuit to issue these Veto memos.

When Tony Perkins proves to me that he pays taxes as a DC resident, THEN he can have an opinion. Until then, I'd suggest he shut the f*** up!


Pam!
I think you mean "appropriations bill" rather than "appropriate bill."

"In order to maintain an untenable position, you have to be actively ignorant."  The Colbert Report

Mary Cheney's rationale

From what I understand, Mary Cheney holds off from actually having a public opinion because if she ever expresses disapproval at a time it might influence any actual vote, she's being disloyal to The Only Man Who Can Defend Us From The Terrorists - Bush.

I'm not kidding.  She's afraid that if Bush suffers disloyalty, some other agenda might take charge, and Osama Bin Ladin would invade, and we'd have to go all Red Dawn to save ourselves.

At least that's what she tels the public.  Me, I think she's a sell out of the highest grade.  She has zero interest in GLBT politics, and just uses her status and the fact that she's queer to do what she wants, and f*ck everyone else.

When a democrat is elected in 2008, and there's (hopefully) still a Dem majority in congress, she can be consigned to the dust bin of history.


Mary Cheney has burnt her professional dyke status
NOTHING Mary Cheney ever endorses will fare well in OUR community....she's a dyke without a country.GO TO G*D DAMN Dubai with the rest of Halliburton, and take Damien with ya!
