Duck Dynasty star' homophobic comments throwback to the Bush years

It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.Robertson goes on to note that homosexuality is the sin that begat all others as America lost its way from its foundation as a Christian nation: “Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men.” He also says that mass murder is a direct result of ignoring the teachings of Jesus, citing Nazis, “Shintos,” Communists and “Islamists.”

dramatic drop in unemployment

Down to seven percent which is the lowest in five years. Good news across all sectors. 200, 000 jobs added to payrolls.

what puzzles me about the conservative protestant (rick warren, hobby lobby owners) problem with

with providing contraception coverage in their employee's policies is this- unlike abortion, opposition to contraception has never been a protestant issue. It is something virtually exclusively roman catholic.

how distant must a cousin be before one can date them

Not just legally, but non ickilly?

Edited to say a couple of third cousins and the gossip around them got this started and also I am not one of them but a third cousin to them both.
