After A Dreadful Week, A Few Positives
[guest post by Dana]
In spite of a depressing news week, it is well worth noting a few positives (including that which is the direct result of tragedy).
First, reminding us that there are many good and decent people fighting the good fight for freedom, Aaron and Melissa Klein (Sweet Cakes by Melissa) who had been ordered to pay $135,000 to a same-sex couple who threw a legal-sized fit when the Kleins opted not to to provide a cake for their commitment ceremony because it would violate their religious beliefs, have seen a record-breaking $352,500 raised at their Continue to Give fundraising campaign. This just in two months time and on top of the $109,000 already raised in the now shutdown GoFundMe campaign.
Second, last week saw CBS News reporter Major Garrett challenge the president with a fair and tough question about the fate of four Americans still being held in Iran and whose secured release was not part of the Iran deal. The president was obviously offended by the confrontation and a CNN scold publicly pursed her ass-kissing lips in withering judgment. Reminding his colleagues that a real journalist has to both maintain a spine and remain unprejudiced in all manner of reporting, Garrett stood by his questioning:
“Look, the position I’m in, I asked the question I asked and I can’t take it back. The president believed I was suggesting he was content with the Americans’ captivity. That wasn’t the basis of my question,”
Further:
“Do you believe that the president is content to leave the conscience of the nation unaccounted for?” asked Rose. Garrett returned the volley: “I don’t. And the whole point of the question, Charlie, was, why were these four Americans not accounted for in the context of negotiating a wide range of issues with the Iranians? Remember, in the final hours of this deal, the Iranians put other things on the table that hadn’t been previously discussed: the arms embargo on conventional weapons and ballistic missiles. If those could be introduced, it seems to me it’s reasonable to ask the commander-in-chief if other issues on the American side could have been introduced. I suggested there might have been one: the fate of four Americans. I stand by that.”
Third, on the heels of the tragedy in Chattanooga, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin issued executive order 2015-35 which authorizes the adjutant general to :
“arm certain full-time military personnel on military installations throughout Oklahoma with weaponry as deems necessary to adequately provide for the security of the facilities and their occupants.”
The order also includes recruiting centers.
Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas have done likewise.
(This as Pentagon officials scratch their heads over what to do…)
And lastly, a Republican running for the presidency, schools fellow Republicans on how to deftly and efficiently handle the manipulations of the MSM:
Mark Halperin: “Governor, I would like to ask you a couple questions about Planned Parenthood. [snip] Second, why are you so troubled by this video?”
[snip]
[Rick] Perry: [snip] Mark, let me ask you. You looked at that video and you’re good with it?”
Halperin: “I think the video raises a lot of questions, and you and others have raised them.”
Perry: “It does, indeed. I think you just answered the question for us. Thank you.”

Hello.
Dana (86e864) — 7/18/2015 @ 11:36 amwhy would you give monies that are just gonna go into the pockets of some whiny lesbians
that’s not value
and next time Prime Day rolls around you’re gonna wish you had those monies back
but they will be gone
and all because you made Bad Choices
happyfeet (831175) — 7/18/2015 @ 11:38 ami found another positive on the internet for you Dana!
Hot Air commenters take the odious and slimy Jazz Shaw to school over Meghan’s Coward Daddy’s putative heroisms!
many many more at the link which I am not going to put here to send traffic to such a sleazy website
oh shucks here’s one more
it’s heartening to see so so many people with such perspicacious awareness of who this dildo really is
happyfeet (831175) — 7/18/2015 @ 11:45 amwhy would you give monies that are just gonna go into the pockets of some whiny lesbians
I understand you are being rhetorical here, but for the record, it is safe to assume that contributors are not giving money to the lesbians per se, but they are using their contributions to voice their support for the everyone’s right to exercise their religious freedoms as well as help the Kleins with legal fees, a potential lien on their house, and bankruptcy.
This isn’t about whiny lesbians. It’s about freedom. You know, the very thing whiny lesbians are against.
Dana (86e864) — 7/18/2015 @ 11:50 ami get you but still i’d rather have an Echo
i’m so bummed i missed getting one at $50 off

happyfeet (831175) — 7/18/2015 @ 12:08 pmsmokinggun.com tries to out-gawker gawker in the sleaze department, narrowly fails
happyfeet (831175) — 7/18/2015 @ 12:48 pmThe whiny lesbians are still a long way away from getting that $135,000.00. The pervert commission’s decision is going to be reviewed by at least one impartial judge and at least one impartial appellate court and may even go to the federal courts and the Supreme Court even. But it’s gonna take money, a whole lot of money; it’s gonna take time, a long precious time; to do it, to do it, to do it right.
nk (dbc370) — 7/18/2015 @ 12:53 pmI sure hope my donation, and the others I may give, go for the appeal of this lunatic decision by a non-judge in the people’s republic of Oregon. That guy is a labor commissioner, named Avian who has a long history of pro-gay marriage comments.

Such people are like the nosy, irritating members of a homeowners association, always pushing their agenda and demands onto their neighbors. Except in this case the boundaries of the domain of such individuals go far beyond a community of condominiums or residences.
The mostly liberal nitwits in that category are culturally/ideologically in the crosshairs of all the Islamofascists running around out there — both more likely to inflame things with an embrace of issues like SSM and also a love of political correctness — so it’s getting to the point where if we as a society are setting ourselves up as sitting ducks, so be it. Quack, quack.
Mark (6f1d5f) — 7/18/2015 @ 1:16 pmmore important really is to figure out what statute allows such ridiculously disproportionate fines for stuff like this, and then fix it (and others like it)
happyfeet (831175) — 7/18/2015 @ 1:19 pmthat would be a more better cause to donate monies to if you ask me, which is a rarity if not a b-side
happyfeet (831175) — 7/18/2015 @ 1:26 pmEvery week is a good week and every month too! Another 100,000 minority kids will turn 18 voting age this month and every month. 140,000 minority babies will be born this month and every month and 20,000 republicans will die off. This is why Mrs. Clinton wins in 2016!

felipe (56556d) — 7/18/2015 @ 1:38 pmMaybe they’ve already doing it like this, and spendthrift trusts vary from state, but these funds can be set up to preclude payment of any money from them for let’s, let’s say, gambling debts, liquor bills, and court judgments awarded to whiny lesbians, provided that the settlor (the person establishing and funding the trust) is not also the beneficiary.
In legal practical terms, an appeal from a money judgment requires a bond to get through the appellate courthouse door and this makes the money very important, legal fees aside, if the Kleins are determined to fight this to the bitter end.
nk (dbc370) — 7/18/2015 @ 1:45 pmAn appellate court decision in the Klein’s favor would fix this statute for everybody through stare decisis.

So. Cal is, at his very moment, having a serious thunderstorm, Midwest style. Thunder so loud, I thought the Blue Angels were overhead. And then rain, falling for over an hour now. It’s wonderful. Of course, it won’t be enough to make a dent in the drought, because it never is. See what you’re missing.
Dana (86e864) — 7/18/2015 @ 2:08 pmthat’s so cool i always wanted to hike in the rain and see what it was like up in the hills when it rained

happyfeet (831175) — 7/18/2015 @ 2:52 pmBut more negatives…
“A key part of President Obama’s legacy will be the fed’s unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of “racial and economic justice.”
Unbeknown to most Americans, Obama’s racial bean counters are furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school — all to document “inequalities” between minorities and whites.
This Orwellian-style stockpile of statistics includes a vast and permanent network of discrimination databases, which Obama already is using to make “disparate impact” cases against: banks that don’t make enough prime loans to minorities; schools that suspend too many blacks; cities that don’t offer enough Section 8 and other low-income housing for minorities; and employers who turn down African-Americans for jobs due to criminal backgrounds.
Big Brother Barack wants the databases operational before he leaves office, and much of the data in them will be posted online.
So civil-rights attorneys and urban activist groups will be able to exploit them to show patterns of “racial disparities” and “segregation,” even if no other evidence of discrimination exists…”

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 7/18/2015 @ 2:53 pmI do not understand why latina voter thinks it will be a good thing for those minority kids if the US turns into the crime infested mess that Mexico is, which is why everyone wants to get out of there.
MD in Philly (f9371b) — 7/18/2015 @ 3:03 pmOnce the US is as messed up as Mexico, that leaves Canada as the last alternative,
depending on how that will be when the time comes.
And after that the immigrant’s last song will be in the land of the ice and snow, if they want to go there.

At least in N. America.
Don’t know about the ice and snow and midnight sun in Norway and Sweden and Russia. I here those places have big problems, just not sure how far north it goes.
But then, burkas would be quite reasonable and fashionable where it is below zero.

I read not long ago someone saying that the Chicago area is very flat terrain. Meanwhile, yes, there has been rain and thunder in the LA area today, which is a nice change of pace, and a sign of climatic activity that’s unusual for “Mexifornia” but not “Chicongo.”
banks that don’t make enough prime loans to minorities
I got a letter yesterday from a credit card company that included boilerplate text saying they do not discriminate against people who are on welfare.
United States of Banana Republic.
Mark (6f1d5f) — 7/18/2015 @ 3:14 pmI think some Republicans are starting to catch on. You start asking the liberal interrogator questions instead of just answering their question straight off. Plus sometimes the question isn’t even a question, in which case they also have to respond with a question of their own, like “What makes you think that?”, “Why is that relevant?” etc.
Gerald A (949d7d) — 7/18/2015 @ 3:17 pmalso i think you people devalue besmirch and degrade both freedom and christendom when you point to “religious freedom” as a rationale for the sweet cake losers’ bigoted sociopathic and altogether rude behaviours
if you just invoked “individual freedom” as a rationale I’d be like okey dokey cool beans
people should be free to be contemptible
but this is not what you do
and I decry this in no uncertain terms
(an example of how i decry this follows)
ok here we go
a for reals christian woulda baked the cake for the lesbians
and a for reals believer in religious freedom woulda said okey dokey how these lesbians believe is not how i believe but no skin off my high-school-diploma-havin’ nuts to bake a cake cause of that has eff-all to do with my religion
(for the love of god if you think your baking activities are scared and holy you need you some medication)
but…
the allure of victimhood is so so strong in the failmerican psyche
not all of us can resist its siren-song

That shtick of yours does get old after awhile, happyfeet, even more so when you yourself have often used the word “gay” disparagingly in this forum, and won’t come out and say whether you’ve had a boyfriend or would have a boyfriend—for reasons that presumably you and others in much of the public (who proclaim “it’s not right to pry into people’s privacy!”) will sympathize with. By contrast, you yourself and many people in general would never think it cringeworthy to casually ask just about any guy out there whether he has a girlfriend or wife and almost no guy would be hesitant to say publicly that he has a girlfriend (assuming he isn’t married) or wife.
I snicker when I think of all the liberals in America, in Hollywood in particular — even more so today than ever before — who treat the possible homosexuality (or bisexuality) of a celebrity (a male in particular) like it’s a guessing game, but a game that’s not analogous to guessing whether that same person is secretly a billionaire, or is a great philantrophist in private, or was class valedictorian and “most popular” during his or her high-school years.
The gut reactions behind this phenomenon mean quite a few people (including you too?) are “bigoted” and “sociopathic.”

This is the new WH spin on the Iran deal.
http://hotair.com/archives/2015/07/17/white-house-warns-congress-if-you-block-this-iran-deal-iran-gets-everything-for-free/
The analysis that follows at Hot Air is good, and should be read, but they don’t get things quite right IMHO. But it simply verifies my own. The administration and Iran were negotiating together against the United States.
Here, the Hot Air analysis breaks down. This administration is giving the finger to the entire country, not just Congress.
Had they shown the same deference to the US legislature as they showed to the Iranian legislature then Josh Earnest could not be making this threat now.
Umm, not quite. Obama is claiming the power to make on his own authority legally binding agreements on behalf of the US. This is his Zelaya moment, the one I’ve been talking about since his first foreign policy disaster, in which he sided with a President who did not believe himself bound by his own constitution.
Now Obama is threatening to use his State Department against his own country at the UN. He will be instructing his ambassador to vote to sanction the United States if Congress dares stand up to this unconstitutional power grab.
This man is evil.
And it will get worse.
http://freebeacon.com/national-security/iran-bans-u-s-inspectors-from-all-nuclear-sites/
This is the grand bargain Obama has always been after. Restoring diplomatic relations with Iran. The nuclear issue was only a pretext. In fact, Obama has committed the US to helping it perfect its nuclear program. As even Obama admitted their breakout time will be reduced to zero eventually. And with our help!
So mark my words, the next ultimatum from Mean Girl is that the US must restore diplomatic relations with Iran to get American inspectors into the country. And anyone who opposes him is a war monger.
It will probably come after Iran is discovered cheating. But I can’t be sure of that.
It’s typical of this psychopath, though. It can’t be his fault; he didn’t negotiate a bad deal. It’s everybody else’s fault for not giving him what he wants. Like diplomatic relations with Iran.
Steve57 (4c9797) — 7/18/2015 @ 4:49 pmThe Republicans, including Meghan’s Cowardwhore powpow Daddy, all voted to piss away any chance they had to stop this genocidal deal, Mr. 57.

I was at the Sox- Royals game at U.S. Cellular Field don’t you know. It was a hot day and a hot ticket because the White Sox organization is also celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Sox’ 2005 World Series championship with an action packed reunion weekend where most of those players and Ozzie came back to be feted. There was rain and some thunder but the game went on and on and on– until we lost finally in the 14th inning.
But when I got home (up further north) it was a obvious there had been a vicious storm while I was gone. Driveway and part of front yard flooded and a huge limb down from a willow tree that landed about 6 feet from the house. Also a skylight leaked real bad. Ugh.
Sorry you got scared happyfeet.

if the bakers in Oregon trafficked in baby parts on the side, would you get along fine with them then??
It shouldn’t take more than a high school education to read Romans 1 in English and see why some Christians would decline to bake a wedding cake for a SSW.
If one went to Greek school then they could read it in Greek without more than a high school diploma;
others would need at least some college to read it in Greek.
I don’t care what gender or gender of preference feets is,
He thinks SSM is great and that anybody who doesn’t agree is an idiot, so they should bake the cake whether they want to or not
Lots of people who went to college and grad school and professional school can still read Romans 1 in English and do not affirm that SSM is a good thing. If we owned bakeries, and felt that by baking a wedding cake explicitly for a same sex wedding celebration we were giving assent to the event, we would also decline to bake said cake. I suppose if they wanted to buy some nice tasty cakes in the multiple layer or sheet variety or both, and do with it whatever they wanted, well, I guess that would be fine.
If you don’t understand Romans 1, then maybe ask for some help. If you understand it and just disagree, that’s fine, but I think I have more confidence in the Apostle Paul’s understanding of following Jesus than yours.
MD in Philly (f9371b) — 7/18/2015 @ 5:14 pmthere’s lots of christian bakers what would never dream of turning matrimonial lesbians away from their door cakeless and un-baked for Mr. Dr.
Romans says nothing about baking cakes
the key thing about baking cakes (which Romans says NOTHING about)
is cracking the eggs to where the cake has no ittle bittle pieces of eggshell in it
and as I said Romans offers no guidance on this matter
and then there’s the question of mixing
i bought lil nephew guy a super duper stainless steel 6-quart commercial kitchen-aid
cause of he says he needed one to make a proper lemon chiffon cake (well he said he needed a “stand up mixer” – but I got the commercial one cause of my lil brudder can cater up a storm and I bet he can use it for to make some cornbread and such)
but lil nephew guy – he’s gonna use it to make me a right proper hummingbird cake come the end of the month
he’s an awesome lil kid!
actually he’s like maybe a junior now
(he’s the one we worked real hard to steer away from the navy)
right now he’s on a mission for lutheran jesus in Detroit building houses for Unfortunate People (or somesuch – maybe he’s tearing houses down, given it’s Detroit)
later this summer he’ll go to his first gay wedding cause of one of his mom and dad’s friends is getting married
i never even been to a gay wedding in my life
and I can’t bake for shizzle
but anyways he walks with the Lord something special, and he’s the future

is that Prehistoric Lake Chicago wasn’t really more vast than Lake Michigan really
it was just sort of in a different place like how the Mississippi sorta resettles itself every so often

Obama is a horrible, deranged ultra-liberal. But the fact a majority of Americans have allowed him to represent them — us — since 2009 says what about “we the people?” The fact his poll ratings are not nearly as low as George W Bush’s also says what about “we the people?” The fact a similarly deranged person like Hillary Clinton does as well as she does in opinion surveys also says what about “we the people?”
The US is well on its way to proving the theory that great nations have a shelf life that doesn’t extend too much beyond 200 years.

happyfeet (831175) — 7/18/2015 @ 7:26 pmHappyfeet, don’t take this the wrong way, but does your goofy, silly way of posting really make sense in a serious political forum like this one? Your tone and style really would fit in better on a message board hosted by a frat house or devoted to the lame skits on Saturday Night Live, or the dweeby routines of the Tonight Show’s Jimmy Fallon.

He’d gladly bankrupt Melissa and her family, leave them destitute and on the street and as a bonus, buy an overpriced piece of garbage from Amazon. All because they dare follow Christ instead of support a perversion and claim the Emperor is wearing clothes.
Congrats fascist, I know you think you’ll be long gone before the country falls. I hope for your sake you are correct.

Kid Rock proves that “Kiss my @$$” can be a powerful negotiating position.
Steve57 (d7df7f) — 7/19/2015 @ 12:56 amI’ve probably heard a Kid Rock song while driving around, but I couldn’t identify one if my life depended on it.

Old School. My dad new the green super at the time, that is how I was able to play. In the top 10 courses I have ever played. Also loved playing Butler National. C.B. Macdonald is one of the greatest golf architects of all time.
mg (31009b) — 7/19/2015 @ 2:40 amSteve – Kid Rock is more talented and versatile than he is probably given credit for, and one of the most entertaining live performers around. After 2 nights at Dave Mathews concerts, I look forward to a dynamic live performance.
JD (9dbbb2) — 7/19/2015 @ 3:51 amMg- I am jealous jealous jealous. By most accounts, CGC is one of the most exclusive clubs in the country. I am excited that I get to road trip to Oregon to play Bandon Dunes, Old Macdonald, and Tetherow. Cannot effin wait.
JD (9dbbb2) — 7/19/2015 @ 4:00 amJealousy back at you, JD. Bandon Dunes is No.2 on my have to play list. My dad ranks Bandon right behind Scotland as the place to play.

steveg (fed1c9) — 7/19/2015 @ 5:03 pmIndividually. I personally would choose to bake a cake for anyone unless they wanted a giant black cock on it that said “Welcome Obama” surrounded by the Battle Flag of the Northern Virginia Army.
I’d have to draw the line somewhere
yeah i got your back on that one
happyfeet (831175) — 7/19/2015 @ 5:04 pmCue me whistling Dixie for a clue as to how and why the line was drawn
steveg (fed1c9) — 7/19/2015 @ 5:05 pmActually my line would be drawn at “why are we antagonizing everyone so we don’t antagonize anyone”

the ‘consent decree’ was in mid to late 90s.
more recently, within the last few years, Arabs in Michigan sued Nationwide. No idea what happened with those suits, maybe still ongoing.

And he says, “Sorry, lassies, I canna do it”. (He’s not Scottish but he watches BBC sitcoms on PBS.) And they say, “Is it because we’re lesbians?” And he says, “No, it’s because I’m opposed to inter-Rachel marriage”.

This is what today’s “military” considers swift action. They increase security measures on base.
Gee, I guess that’s why these individual jihadists attack recruiting centers. Because they’re soft targets not on base.
Why stop at telling recruiters to stop wearing uniforms and recruit in civvies. The display of the American flag and those big bold letters at recruiting centers that say ARMY AIR FORCE NAVY MARINES will make these guys targets too. Why not just have them recruit under a white flag?
Anything, just don’t arm them!
Everybody blamed Pamela Geller for “asking for it” by offending Muslims with her Muhammad art contest.
At the time I pointed out that the list of things that offend Muslims is nearly endless. But I specifically said that the “kuffar” wearing their military uniforms offends Muslims.
Well, thank the sweet baby Obama we’ve put an end that! But those flags will have to come down too.

happyfeet (831175) — 7/19/2015 @ 7:42 pmPrecisely, happyfascist. That’s why it’s laughable when you claim the right to dictate to Christians what they must do in the name of “not being rude” or whatever.
You walk up to Christians and demand them to help you say “eff you jesus.” That’s precisely what the fascists and your gaystapo are demanding. You and they said eff you jesus a long time ago, and now you demand the same from people who haven’t.
Thanks for taking the mask off entirely, happyfascist. Like all totalitarians believe, Jesus must take orders from the state or Jesus must be eliminated from society.
Steve57 (7aa1f2) — 7/19/2015 @ 7:50 pmI suggest no cake for lesbians until the government has solved their obesity epidemic. Because they’re in danger of dying from diabetes or clogged arteries. Or from causing a bridge to collapse. And then their partners will be alone, and they will have no dignity, and the universe will cry.
