Holy crap, is she ever wearing a gorgeous top. It's an insult to fashion for someone like her to be wearing that. I'm gonna steal it and give it to a drag queen.  ;D

I'll also bet that top is made from more than one fabric. Abomination to God!!!  :o

I think I've found Tammy Fay Bakker's replacement, right down to the putting on makeup with a fire hose.

LOL. Nice.


One of more intelligent friends put something similar to this on his Facebook last night. He is a Marine, and because of that he thinks that excuses him from being PC, or treating people like humans. According to him and some of his USMC buddies every homosexual serving in the forces is out for their bodies, and lesbians are okay, just not gay men. *facepalm* Worst. Argument. Ever.

OMG! They were right all along. The gays are going to destroy the universe!

This is just so incredibly funny but scary at the same time because 'the flock' will believe every single word of it.

That's always been true, two males is yuccky gross, two girls are hot, hot, hot!

Of course what's funny about what the Marine said is that the gay men, who are really into being men, you know manly men, get the bitches out of here, who needs 'em men.  Those guys are the ones who really want to be Marines.

And videos like that are the reason that Poe's Law exists, because it has become almost impossible to tell the difference between what real fundamentalists are saying, and what would be a parody of them saying it.

Wow, I wonder what people did to deserve Hurricane Katrina.

If we kill a gay person, will we get clear skies and manna from heaven?

Exactly. It bothers me that he and some of his friends were being so utterly stereotypical and hateful. I doubt that someone joins the Marines or another branch of service to meet guys/girls, and regardless of sexual orientation that individual is going to have your back. Just because a guy is gay doesn't mean he is going to hesitate to shoot the enemy because he's more interested in trying to figure out what kind of shoes they are wearing. Stupid.

It doesn't help that the responses he illicited where from other soldiers and they amounted to nothing more than the uneducated ramblings of illiterate bigots. That is what is protecting our country? No thanks.

I love Orwell.

It just disgusts me that people can treat others as less than human and degrade them based on something so trivial as sexual orientation. It frightens me that it seems the only way to 'fit' into that niche is to be so full of hate for the 'common good and survival' of the platoon. Ignorance armed with weapons doesn't make me sleep any more peacefully at night.

OMG, YES!!! I kept wondering why that necklace looked so familiar. Although I was thinking about a white rock necklace...does Wilma have a dozen rock necklaces, one for every outfit?

I was also concerned for the poor leopard she killed and dyed that horrendous blue...

Tammy Faye Messner is totally different. She appeared on the RuPaul show and talked about how important it is to be yourself if you are LGBT and that LGBT people have the right to be who they are. She's one of the few televangelists that I have respect for for this reason.

She only did that late in life, when faced with cancer, dying and the total rejection of the community that she once supported and represented - it was not a firm conviction as much as it was a form of repentance.
