Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
It will take something akin to the first toon,
1discrimination against male healthcare, to convince conservatives that individuals, even women, do have rights which trump corporative and institutional prerogatives.
Trouble is, it won’t happen.
Our civil rights are being eroded one by one.
Time for another fight. Get your signs ready.
The Bennett cartoon is painfully correct, right down to the look of resignation on Obama’s face.
2Hobby Lobby ran a full page ad in the Lufkin News today quoting founding fathers, supreme court justices, foreign dignitaries, former presidents and others on the subject that America is a Christian nation and that all of our activities, including the running of our government, should be guided by principles stated in the Christian bible. Hobby Lobby, of course, is feeling political and religious clout (and financial as well) because of the supreme court decision this week upholding it’s “religious freedom”. Batten down the hatches you protectors-of-a free-society as the onslaught upon freedom, outside the context of the Christian religion, has just been dialed up a couple of notches. You ain’t seen nothing yet!
3The ‘toons are right on and all have the same cause…democratic totalitarianism. The founders knew that democracy could easily become a ‘rule by the majority’ and set in place controls. But too many dimwits have voted to put in power people who are controlled by corrupted religious dogma. And there is only one way to turn this around peacefully…..get out there and VOTE these idiots out of power!!! In fact it was the fear of religions for this happening by their competitors, that had THEM pushing for the separation of gov & religion. How soon they forget.
4That same color full page ad is in the Austin American Statesman today. I just sent the details to Susan. The editors were no doubt wondering what they could do to make their paper seem festive on the Fourth of July. It does have a huge red, white and blue flag at the top. Below that is the headline “IN GOD WE TRUST”.
Or maybe they put the ad in to offend as many readers as possible while stuffing the bucks in their pockets. I was offended enough when I realized what the ad was, but when I saw Hobby Lobby’s name at the bottom, it as a declaration of war.
Now all you/us folks who still shop at Wal-Mart, please don’t even consider going into a Hobby Lobby to purchase anything.
They must think they’ve got God on their side.
5Edit: should read: “but when I saw Hobby Lobby’s name at the bottom, I read it as a declaration of war.”
6Wait until a Moslem owned company files suit…the twinkies will hit the windmill.
7To a rational person it has to seem strange that having sex makes guys into manly studs, yet it just makes women dirty.
Especially since much of the time the parties are doing it with each other.
Perhaps the biggest equal rights issue we need to pursue it that of treating women as equal to men.
8This ad was in the Champaign (Illinois) News-Gazette, also.
One saving grace from this whole SCOTUS debacle is the attention it is getting from other sects who see this ruling as a way to further their goals. That will reach up and bite Alito’s infected butt. And those who supported this unsupportable ruling.
9In MY perfect world Hobby Lobby would be publicly traded, then I could win the bazillion dollar lottery, and buy up all the stock. And get rid of them. Money well spent.
