Has Daryl Metcalfe FINALLY Gone Too Far?

According to the Post-Gazette, Metcalfe, The Shame of Butler County, invited a well-known racist, Robert Vandervoort to testify on pending (and unnecessary) legislation to make English the official language of the Commonwealth.  Vandervoort has ties to numerous white nationalist and racist groups such as American Renaissance and the Council of Conservative Citizens.  

Arch-conservative Rep. Darly Metcalfe, R- Cranberry, no stranger to controversy, created a stir Thursday when he asserted on the state House floor "a white nationalist... is a lot different than a white supremacist" and appeared to defend having invited a man with alleged white nationalist ties to testify before his state government committee earlier this week.

Mr. Metcalfe was responding to comments by Rep. Leslie Acosta, D-Philadelphia, who said she felt silenced unfairly in Mr. Metcalfe's state government committee Monday during a hearing on a bill to make English Pennsylvania's "official" language....

Sure Daryl, the guy only speaks glowingly about racists like Jared Taylor and makes common cause with the CCC, formally known as the WHITE Citizen's Council, famously described as "the uptown Klan" is just a white "nationalist," and not a white "supremist."  Care to clue us in on the distinction Daryl?  In your own words, instead of those scripted for you by ALEC?

Troglodytes like Metcalfe who invite bigots like Vandervoort to pollute Harrisburg with their hate have no business holding elected office, hence why I lable him The Shame of Butler County.  How can the denziens just to our north tolerate such a boorish buffoon representing them?

 

Jack Kelly Whitesplains It

I missed last Sunday's Post-Gazette, but the fine folks at 2 Political Junkies had a post on Jack Kelly's latest in that paper, and I cannot believe such a rancid opinion piece appeared in a decent-sized paper in the 21st Century.  Read, as Kelly lectures to African Americans on how good they have it in the United States.  A sample:

Slavery was horrible, but no black American living today has suffered from it. Most are better off than if their ancestors had remained in Africa.

While Kelly has a right to write, say, or think whatever he wants, he doesn't have the right to get paid for his scribblings to appear in a major newspaper.  The Post-Gazette cannot in good concious continue to pay this man.

 

Thankfully, That Was The Last Issue

Organic Gardening was a magazine that I enjoyed.  Over the past year, its morphed from a gardening magazine into "Organic Life" a publication filled with woo.  When I saw the summer issue with a huge uncritical article on the quackery known as homeopathy, I decided not to renew, even though I'd been a subscriber for over 20 years.  Of course, it USED to be a magazine about how to garden without using pesticides or synthetic fertilizers.

Well, the last issue I'll be receiving recently arrived, and guess what?  It had a credulous article on DOWSING.  Yes dowsing.  Something that has no basis in fact whatsoever, just like homeopathy (pro tip...dig deep enough and you WILL strike water)(pro tip two...homeopathic remides are nothing but water).

Thankfully, I'll no longer be wasting money on such a silly publication.  Sadly, its a shame to see a magazine that was once a useful reference for small scale gardeners and farmers turned into a publication that promotes idiotcy.

Happy Labor Day!

Unions...the people who helped bring you weekends and overtime pay.

Follow God's Law

Stone Kim Davis, the adulturest, to death.

Where Is Your God Now?

Kim Davis in jail.

"God's moral law conflicts with my job duties," Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis told U.S. District Judge David Bunning.

So get another job that doesn't conflict with your god's moral law.

A federal marshal escorted her, without handcuffs, out of the courtroom.

So, why was she not put in handcuffs, like the rest of the common criminals like her?

Davis is being represented by the Liberty Counsel, an organization that advocates in court for religious freedoms. Her lawyer argued that the deputy clerks cannot issue licenses against Davis' authority, but the judge overruled this objection.

They've lost every case they've litigated.

Before she was led away, Davis explained that the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in June that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide conflicts with the vows she made when she became a born-again Christian.

So get another job.

Davis, an Apostolic Christian whose critics mock her for being on her fourth marriage, stopped issuing licenses to all couples after the Supreme Court ruling.

Hypocrite.

Davis said she hopes the Legislature will change Kentucky laws to find some way for her to keep her job while following her conscience.

HEY ASSHOLE!!!! The US Supreme Court refused to hear you appeal.  You have no legal leg to stand on!

Until then, the judge said, he has no alternative but to keep her behind bars as long as she refuses to follow the law.

Which is where criminals like Davis belong.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Resign

If your religious beliefs prevent you from doing your job, well then, its time to find a different line of work.

A county clerk has again refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, invoking her religious beliefs and “God’s authority” — this time in defiance of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling against her.

This morning, Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis’ office denied the licenses to at least two couples. At first, Ms. Davis remained in her office with the door closed and blinds drawn. But she emerged a few minutes later, telling the couples and the activists gathered there that her office is continuing to deny the licenses “under God’s authority.”

Ummm..you're a public servent.  We're not a theocracy.  Part of your job, Ms Davis, is the issuence of marriage licenses.  If you are incpable of doing that, then by definition, you are incompetent.
