    It couldn’t happen fast enough for me but let’s face it, this isn’t happening anytime soon. They have lots of cash, political connections, and lots a dumb-a$$ loyal followers

    How long are the gullible going to fall for the “seed money” fraud?

    They are hating themselves into the history books, can’t happen soon enough for me.

    Wow. This was written by the famous or infamous Amanda Marcotte?
    At least commenting will be allowed here since she is not lording over them.

      I just Google her. I don’t get it. What is she infamous for?

      • mistlesuede March 18th, 2016 at 23:08

        She used to be on Raw Story and was so over the top feminist that she basically hated men. She also used to hover over the threads where her stories were and would decide what words people could use. If you dared argue, she’d ban you. People went to other sites together to complain about her because it was awful. This is actually the second thing I’ve read from her that was pretty good. I believe she has moved around to different sites and may no longer be on RS.
        There is a word for her that rhymes with ditch.

          Never heard of a woman being derogatorily called a “Malkovich” before, but if you say so…

          *snicker*

            LOL. I definitely say so. :)

    Are those lovely gals in the picture at the Christian Mingle site?

  7. anothertoothpick March 18th, 2016 at 18:56

    That gal in the picture looks like a Dominatrix I used to know.

    • The Original Just Me March 18th, 2016 at 20:03

      Hummmm, does she have a phone number ?

    • Kick Frenzy March 19th, 2016 at 01:53

      sweet

    To be fair, most Christian conservatives also condemn the Westboro nutjobs.

    But, Christian conservatives don’t want to admit that Westboro’s beliefs are the logical extension of the Religious Right’s beliefs about abortion and homosexuality.

    • Comicus March 18th, 2016 at 20:46

      To be fair, they don’t condemn their beliefs, just the delivery.

    I wonder if God in his/her mysterious way punishes these religious hateful hypocrites (Westboro Baptists, Talibans, ISIL, etc) for gross misrepresentation.
