Selma Envy Motivates Gay Marriage Movement
Lutheran pastor Hans Fiene has maybe the best explanation of the Gay marriage movement and the outrage about Indiana’s religious liberty law that we have seen.
He says in part:
The answer is “social studies.” My generation engages in straw men, misinformation, and lies because, in every year of social studies class, we studied the civil-rights movement not as history, but as hagiography. We didn’t just learn what events happened on American soil, we were encouraged to mimic the segregation-defeating holy ones and merit for ourselves a place alongside them in glory. Combining that admonition with our general aversion to hard work, we concluded that the only thing necessary to be as righteous as the saints who fought racial injustice was to decry an injustice that no one else was. And we became so desperate to find that injustice, we lost our minds in the process.
It’s a long article and you can read it at The Federalist.

Labor Backs Delco GOP Slate
Pete Peterson has informed us that the GOP Delaware County Council ticket has been endorsed by The Delaware County Committee of the Philadelphia Building and Construction Trades Council.
That’s probably not going to increase its standing among my readers.
The ticket is all incumbent: Colleen Morrone of Concord, John McBlain of Aldan, and Mike Culp of Springfield, who is serving out the remainder of new state Sen. Tom McGarrigle’s term.
Union endorsement aside, I’m going to have no problem hitting the button for them this November. Complain all you can about the state and federal Republicans but Delco is one of the better run Pennsylvania counties.
Pete points out that Delaware County has an unemployment rate lower than the national average and is experiencing job growth. The county Republicans deserve undeniable credit for this as it was the policies of the other party that almost sent it into the tank.
I’ve actually worked with McBlain on an issue and found him to be serious, decent and dedicated.
The ticket is unopposed in the May 19 primary and may very well be unopposed in the General Election on Nov. 3. For the record, the Dems should be allowed on the ballot.

Apple Hypocrisy Saudi Expansion
Apple CEO Tim Cook has called for a boycott of Indiana because of the state’s new religious freedom law which prevents business-owners from being compelled to participate in activities that violate their religious principles.
Meanwhile, as Examiner.com, notes, the company is expanding its presence in Saudi Arabia.
Hypocrisy and hipster have more in common that just merely starting with H.
In a related matter rich, white, middle-age male MSNBC 1% Ed Schultz was so flummoxed by Heritage Foundation’s Ryan Anderson’s reasonable explanation of the law that he cut off his mic.
Schultz was calmly corrected by Anderson on numerous points when he tried to claim the law was something it was not.
As it is highly unlikely you saw it we will post it for you.
