Via Wonkette: Michele Bachmann gave her farewell address to the House of Representatives Tuesday, and while we were worried that she might just stand up and announce that all her email should be forwarded to [email protected], she actually did deliver a thoroughly Bachmannian speech. It hits all the required notes: Freedom, In God We Trust, Why the House is the …

Via the Washington Post: “America loves an underdog. We’re definitely the underdog in this race,” he said in an interview Tuesday. Santorum added that being underestimated — again — “has given me a lot of latitude.” His iconic sweater vests will likely make a return appearance. But Santorum 2.0 will be a very different presidential campaign than the one that …

“In Washington, D.C., destructive behavior isn’t just encouraged — efforts to stop it are punished! If kids are looking for a way out of their same-sex attractions, they’ll have to start outside of the nation’s capital. Under a measure just passed by the D.C. Council, counselors can lose their license just for offering the kind of therapy these children seek. …

The “ex-gay” crackpots of PFOX have posted the above billboard in Richmond, Virginia. PFOX has launched similar billboard campaigns over the years. (Tipped by JMG reader Dwight) PREVIOUSLY ON JMG: PFOX former president Richard Cohen earns national ridicule after CNN broadcasts a demonstration of his “gay cure,” which involved Cohen pounding a pillow with a tennis racket while screaming, “Why, …

Hate group leader Tony Perkins says that the opponents of same-sex marriage have been reinvigorated by last month’s Vatican meeting, where the Pope’s message was “like getting a halftime pep talk in the locker room.” Go for the Hail Mary!

From the virulently anti-gay Save California: You could be part of the solution to America’s constitutional crisis on marriage licenses. In the last 16 years, 31 states have passed constitutional marriage amendments defining marriage as God created it, for one man and one woman. But this year a handful of federal judges have opined that these state marriage amendments are …

“In last year’s Windsor decision, the Supreme Court decided that its own ‘Emerging Awareness Doctrine’ made sodomy the lawful equivalent of holy matrimony. Those of us who criticized that decision were ridiculed as alarmists for warning that Justice Anthony Kennedy’s decree would have bad consequences. Am I the only one who has noticed that the news has gotten increasingly weird …

“‘I don’t care what you say about me, just spell my name right,’ declared famous showman P.T. Barnum — founder of what today is The Greatest Show on Earth, the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus. Playwright Oscar Wilde put it another way: ‘The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.’ That’s a lesson militant …

Via press release: This week, the D.C. City Council trampled on the religious liberty of Christians in Washington, D.C. The council repealed an exemption in the Human Rights Act that allowed private religious schools to practice their faith pertaining to human sexuality. Additionally, the council banned sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE), violating the fundamental rights of counselors, minors, and parents. …

“I have not been inside a Macys since 2011. I used to spend quite a bit of money during the holidays at our local Macys—but no longer. This decision was reinforced as I watched and photographed the huge Macys’ red star balloon flying high above the Columbus ‘gay’ pride parade in both 2013 and 2014. The banner carried by the …

Peter LaBarbera gets very upset when I use the term “Teabagistan” as I did earlier today. I responded, for the hundredth time, that I’ll stop using that expression as soon he stops using homofascist, gaystapo, deviant, and pervert. He responded by calling me a homofascist and member of the “Gay-KK.” That’ll teach me! LaBarbera then refused to denounce his BFF’s …

Via the Catholic League: For the past several years, we’ve been engaged in a battle of the billboards with our atheist foes at Christmastime. The typical venue has been New York City, the media capital of the nation. This year we chose to put our mark on the culture by making a statement in Los Angeles, right outside of Hollywood. …

The First Circuit Court of Appeals today denied Scott Lively’s dismissal demand in the crimes against humanity suit filed against him by Sexual Minorities Uganda. See the ruling at Equality Case Files.

Catholic League blowhard Bill Donohue is very angry about this documentary. CNN executives are very excited that one of their own, Morgan Spurlock, is the man behind “I Am Santa Claus.” To prove how happy they are, they are flagging a supremely positive article about the flick by one of their online columnists, John D. Sutter. The source of their …

Via Mother Jones: What happened to her big protest? Bachmann’s office did not respond to a request for comment. A TPP spokesman said in an email that the “gathering in Washington is not a Tea Party Patriots event per se, but we are fully in favor of it and have encouraged our supporters in the area to come out if …

“Tuesday’s unanimous decision by the D.C. Council is a victory for gay pedophiles everywhere, but especially in the District. Now that sexually abused and confused minors will no longer have the ability to see a licensed mental health provider in the District to help them reduce unwanted same-sex attractions due to sexual molestation, there will be less reports of sexual …

Miranda Blue writes at Right Wing Watch: American Religious Right leaders Mat Staver and Judith Reisman are scheduled to be featured speakers at a conference in Jamaica this weekend hosted by a group that has been working to preserve the country’s criminal ban on consensual gay sex. The annual conference, hosted by the Jamaica Coalition for a Healthy Society, will …

“Turn to Leviticus 20:13 because I actually discovered the cure for AIDS. ‘If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.’ And that, my friend, is the cure for AIDS. It was right there in the …
