Yesterday this writer was on Twitter when I saw a tweet from Rhode Island state legislator Dan Gordon (R-71) about the US House vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Admittedly, I was cranky, and after a day of reading bad economic news I felt a little fed up with the GOP’s continued bitching about the health care bill when Americans need some real leadership. I shot back a cranky response.

Politics, religion, same-sex marriage, breast feeding, health care. Sometimes it seems that there’s nothing Americans don’t vehemently fight about.

According to Chuck Norris, President Obama is “creating a pro-gay Boy Scouts of America” by supporting BSA national board member James Turley’s efforts to make the Boy Scouts a more inclusive organization. This move came after a Lesbian troop leader was recently removed because her sexual orientation “did not meet the high standards” of the organization. Her child was booted as well. Norris accuses President Obama of giving Turley “perks and favors” and condemns his failure to protect the BSA’s “First Amendment rights to stand against atheists, agnostics and homosexuals.”
“And I have no privacy, whoa-oh-oh.” Well, yes, this is true for some of you. Callum Haywood’s experiment called weknowwhatyouredoing.com makes that abundantly clear. Know who can see when you tell your Facebook buddies that you hate your boss, are hungover, smoked some cheeba, or got a new phone number? Everyone! All the time! Everywhere! Continue reading
