Blunt Amendment “Restores” Something – Just Not... →
sarahlee310:
One of the claims that supporters of the Blunt Amendment have been making is that it would “restore conscience rights” that existed before the health care reform law. Let’s apply some of what I learned in law school about legislative language and take a look at the dictionary definition meaning of “restore.” “Restore” means “to give something back” or “to return something to...
So apparently, the House is voting on the "Blunt...
Pro-tip: If they can spend less money on their employee’s benefits, every employer will be “morally opposed” to covering birth control. Do these people seriously not understand that if there is a loophole, EVERYONE will exploit it?

Hating Santorum - now rebloggable!
Want to make a drink that really shows how you feel about Rick Santorum? Or maybe a drink to help you forget that he exists? Well Miss O and followers have got you covered!
2 parts 151 rum - to make you “drunk enough to believe women signed the Declaration of Independence“
1 part Kahlua - for brownness
Blend with ice for appropriate frothiness
Banana chunks for extra grossness/homophobia
timholtorf asked: You have me curious, I just might do some research and make a drink called the "Hating Santorum" now. Possibly a shot of Kopper Kettle whiskey to represent his birthplace and where he currently resides. Maybe a shot of Old Farm Whiskey from Pennsylvania to represent his place of education (went to the U of Pitts) and the State he represented. Need to do some more research for what else...

tenousei asked: I'm a transwoman. I'll admit, I'm not the type who would say "die cis scum". I'd also tell others not to say that, but I can see where it's coming from. Those who say that are tired of being harassed by ignorant cispeople. It's no different than when people of color say shit about white people. It's not because they think whites are inferior, it's...

monsterinthegirlmask asked: It's not okay to threaten or verbally abuse someone just because they are less oppressed than you. You never know what their individual life is like. Don't verbally attack strangers unprovoked, it wont make anyone feel better in the end. The other person is you. Be the change you want to see. And so forth... this goes for everyone.

idiosyncraticnormality asked: I don't really feel it's appropriate to tell anyone to die, no matter how privileged they are. By saying "die cis scum" a person is no better than the cis individuals who attack that person. It's okay to be angry, but being so angry you want people to die isn't okay, no matter who it is. This only spawns more hate all around. It's not just about feeling...

To say that there...

In this area I'm privileged but if we move the same discussion to queerness then I still have a problem with it.
