People often say where are the christian terrorists,

I came across this list, sourced from wikipedia,

Since 1973 the following acts of terrorism have been committed in the USA against doctors, nurses, volunteers and organisations who help women in desperate situations.

• 1264 counts of vandalism


• 655 bioterrorism threats including anthrax


• 619 bomb threats


• 383 death threats


• 173 arsons


• 153 counts of assault or battery


• 91 attempted bombings


• 41 bombings


• 3 kidnappings


• On the following dates, a brave and noble person lost their life
  
  
  
  • March 10 1993 - Dr David Gunn
  
  
  • August 21 1993 - Dr George Patterson
  
  
  • July 29 1994 - Dr John Britton and James Barrett
  
  
  • December 30 1994 - Shannon Lowney and Lee Ann Nichols
  
  
  • January 29 1998 - Robert Sanderson
  
  
  • October 23 1998 - Dr Barnett Slepian
  
  
  • May 31 2009 - Dr George Tiller
  
  
  
  

So do not tell me there are no right wing extremist christian terrorists.

Getting myself on the news...they asked to interview someone for their opinion so i gave it...

This is the home of stonewall, and one of the founding centers of the US gay rights movement and it is tragic that such cowardice happened here.

I found this on the Perez Hilton Blog (its not on my blogroll, please don't disown me), and i think while the comedy responses are good, this says what needs to be said about marriage equality.

For those of you haven't heard the Bad News™ , George Bush on his way out signed a executive order that allowed for a "right of conscience" a.k.a. "fundies allowed to act like morons while pretending to be doctors" instruction. The effect of this was to allow a Pharmacist, Doctor, Nurse, or Janitor to refuse to do something medically required for the patient (like birth control for example) and the employer not be allowed to fire them provided it was for a religious reason.

Aside from the temptation of inventing a "teaist" religion where my religion required me to drop whatever i was doing to have a cup of tea any time i felt like it...this was one of the worst abuses of an executive order (and yet more evidence for the need of ending this legal nightmare forever).

However thankfully as of Friday, said executive order has been rescinded by the current president (Obama isn't perfect, but does anyone get tired of calling Bush "the former president")
