NOM Bus Tour Fail: Version Two

The Courage Campaign’s Prop 8 Trial Tracker reports that yesterday’s launch of NOM’s latest bus tour is another laughable failure. Only one stop into The Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles’ “Vota Tus Valores” bus tour (vote your values, for those who don’t speak Spanish), sponsored by the National Organization for Marriage, and we’re already questioning whether to take these folks …

Freep This Poll

The GOP’s new “Pledge With America,” while full of teabaggery nonsense, only makes one mention of supporting “traditional marriage,” and says nothing more about opposing LGBT rights. Anti-gay groups are, of course, displeased, although the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins calls it a “step in the right direction.” Today the Washington Post discusses LGBT rights and the GOP: As polls …

Quote Of The Day – Barack Obama

“I’ve been here two years, guys. And one of the things that I just try to remember is that if we have accomplished 70 percent of what we committed to in the campaign, historic legislation, and we’ve got 30 percent of it undone — well, that’s what the next two years is for, or maybe the next six. Understandably, everybody …

PhoboQuotable- Matt Barber

“Let’s say we had a group of people who defined their identity based upon a penchant for running headlong into brick walls. Oh, we’ll call them, ‘Wallies.’ (Wally pride, baby!) “As significant percentages of Wallies began to drop dead, or suffer irreversible brain damage, do you suppose the left would demand tolerance for such behavior? Do you think they’d begin …

NOM has filed a lawsuit against Rhode Island’s Board of Elections, saying it should not have to disclose who is backing their ads in the state’s 2010 election.

Atheists Know The Most About Religion

A survey testing Americans’ knowledge about the religions of the world showed that atheists and agnostics know more than professed believers. Interestingly, some of the questions most frequently answered incorrectly were about the responders’ own religions. Forty-five percent of Roman Catholics who participated in the study didn’t know that, according to church teaching, the bread and wine used in Holy …

RUSSIA: Moscow’s Anti-Gay Mayor Fired By President Dmitri Medvedev

Yesterday the president of Russia fired Moscow’s Mayor Yuri Luhzkov, who has described gays as “satanic,” blocked gay pride parades, and has been the subject of numerous protests by LGBT activists, including one just a few days ago. The firing, however, had nothing to do with Luhzkov’s bigotry. Officially, the Kremlin attributed Mr. Medvedev’s decision to his “loss of trust” …

Iowa For Freedom (From Civil Rights)

From the Iowa For Freedom website: Iowa law wisely allows for a check and balance of the Supreme Court through a retention vote by you, the citizens. In April of 2009, we all witnessed blatant judicial activism by the Iowa Supreme Court. The court legislated from the bench…they governed from the bench…and, they even attempted to amend our constitution from …

Census Result: New York Likely To Lose Two U.S. House Seats, Florida Gains Two

One of most important aspects of the U.S. Census is the resulting reapportionment of seats in the House of Representatives. While many of the changes will go as expected, a just-released new estimate suggests a couple of changes that were not. A new estimate of House reapportionment gains and losses resulting from this year’s Census reveals a larger-than-expected impact on …

HomoConQuotable – Christopher Barron

“Homocon 2010 was a complete and total success. GOProud set out to throw a great party, not hold a policy event, and that’s exactly what we did.
