• Come for the Pregnancy Test, Leave with the Threat of Eternal Damnation

  Fri Apr 17, 2009
  • I'd trust the older, more established churches (e.g. Catholics, Mainline Protestant denominations) to provide good and responsible service -- an unaffiliated, non-denominational "Christian" church or center, on the other hand, is more likely to adhere to fundamentalist dogma.

• RNC chief: Gay marriage will burden small business

  Sat May 16, 2009
  • By Steele's account, and considering his party is traditionally against anti-discriminatory measures, the small-business utopia is to employ gays, lesbians and extreme liberals who do not believe in marriage. I wonder what the social conservatives will say to that.
