There are some laws in existence that don’t make sense to me and even some that I flat out disagree with, but I understand that it’s my responsibility as an American citizen to follow said laws. After all, if a bunch of people just started to ignore laws they didn’t understand or thought were asinine, chaos would ensue after awhile.

And if this makes sense to me, a mere citizen of the United States, one would think that it’d be a no-brainer for the U.S. government, but …

Well, it’s not.

Connecticut’s Carmen Cardona, an eighteen year Navy Veteran and a lesbian married to her “longtime female partner”, has been denied spousal disability bennies for her wife …

Photo of Christine O'Donnell With "Big Mouth" Exaggerated

If you have any sort of political aspirations, it’s very important to never say anything stupid. Ever. Christine O’Donnell’s shocking unawareness of this very basic tenet, which to be fair virtually every politician breaks at one point or another, is really starting to bite her in the ass.

Okay, Christine O’Donnell, you think masturbation is a sin. You think that homosexuals have no place in the military. You are even on record as stating that women will weaken military institutions. That’s stupid.

Dissent is a part of human nature, and there’s certainly nothing wrong with debate and discourse, even when it becomes heated. There are people that I have tremendous respect for that I disagree with …

Damn, Donald Trump, is it really necessary to get your hand into every single pie (and no, I’m not talking about your romantic entanglements)? The multifaceted mogul is weighing in on the recent Ground Zero Mosque conversation … by trying to buy the property it’s slated to stand on.

The man best known these days for “The Apprentice” (and for somehow still having his hair) evidently offered to pay 25% more than the building’s buyer did (and that pricetag was $5 million).

From Reuters:

“I am making this offer as a resident of New York and a citizen of the United States, not because I think the location is a spectacular one (because it is not), but because it will end a very serious, inflammatory and highly divisive situation that is destined, in my opinion, only to get worse,” he wrote.

President Obama and the So-Called Ground Zero Mosque

Sometimes a person can’t win no matter what he or she does. Speaking out publicly on an issue? You’re butting your nose in where it doesn’t belong. Remaining silent so your name is kept out of it? You are silently consenting to a twisted truth set forth by your political opponents.

Civil rights activists did it. Feminists did it. And now, the President of the United States has done it … and being “hen-pecked” extensively for it.

Barack Obama, who a frightening percentage of Americans believe is Muslim despite significant proof to the contrary, found himself between the proverbial rock and hard place recently with regard to the “Ground Zero Mosque.”

From AOL News:

Speaking to Muslims observing the holy month of Ramadan at the White House on Friday, Obama asserted that Muslims have the right to build the planned mosque, citing freedom of religion as a core American value.

Yup, freedom of religion. That goes back to the very same U.S. Constitution that the Tea Partiers pontificate on again and again and again … as it suits their political agenda, of course. That President Obama made the same point, and in a far more legitimate and real life situation then much of the right-wing spinmesiters, must have the Tea Party grinding its collective teeth.

Look at the mess Sarah Palin made of the so-called Ground Zero Mosque. It’s simply disgusting.

Perhaps even more disgusting, though, is the implication that Obama is perpetuating Islamic terrorism through his support of a house of worship.
