Well, folks, it has been about three months since the Duggar boy married and yep, his wife is praygnuuunt. I don't think too many are surprised at this--I certainly am not. All I can say is, thank the Goddess that I am not that poor girl. This is just the beginning of baybee after baybee after baybee...
What I want to see is how much government money these leeches are going to accept. You know that somewhere, somehow, these characters are going to be slurping at the public trough. After all, it's their Gawd-given right to have one baybee after another, and by gum, the gubmint will just have to help pay for all those kids...
Just more hypocrisy from people who have nothing good to say about government aid programmes--until it comes time to line up and slurp.

The Fury of the Religious Right
As anyone who follows the news knows, the Vermont Legislature overrode the governor's veto of a bill legalising same-sex marriage, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that prohibiting same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, and New York's governor introduced a bill permitting marriage equality in that state--it looks like the Legislature may have the numbers to pass the bill.
The Religious Wrong, of course, isn't taking this lying down. No siree, they are already on the attack and have been since last week. First it was an television ad "The Coming Storm", which is essentially a pack of lies as to how marriage equality will negatively affect Christians...and also gives them the chance to play the victim card. Noiw there is an ad posted on YouTube picturing poor little Christian kids being forced to wear duct tape over their mouths and the evil teacher throwing the Bible in the trash. Needless to say, the little Christian kids revolt, pull the tape from their mouths and rescue the Bible. All this fuss because of the Day of Silence, which is basically a day of not speaking to protest how LGBT people have been--and often still are--silenced. No one is forcing anyone into participating, least of all school-age children.
I am so sick and tired of the lies of the Religious Wrong. They first try spreading lies about LGBTQ people and when that fails, they play the victim card. They claim persecution when, in essence, they have had control of the discourse on this subject for hundreds of years. Until recently, it has been a monologue as the punishments for speaking up and being out were severe. Now, gay people are being given a chance to speak and are beginning to be given the rights they should have had all along, and the fundies are crying. Cry me a river! LGBTQ people disturb the fundies' comfort zone--it makes them have to acknowledge that there are other realities out there-at least it should. But when denial and lying don't work, they resort to crying "Persecution."
Any of you fundies out there ever heard of "Thou shalt not bear false witness"? Hope you can justify yourself on Judgement Day, for "inasmuch as ye have done it to the least of these, ye have done it unto Me."
