Damn, I grew up Missouri Synod, and I thought they were bad. Though it could also be that it was a tiny church in a small Texas city.

I grew up WELS for 18 years. They’re hateful and misogynist as hell. I once had a conversation with our church’s pastor in which he told me that feminism had “eaten a hole” in my soul that “allowed the devil to get in.”

Another WELS refugee, I see. As a gay kid who endured 9 years of K-8 education with them, I share your worry.

I grew up ELCA, the liberal-est of the Lutherans, but in Wisconsin and holy shit the WELS are assholes. The only WELS church service I went to (niece being baptized) was right after Anna Nicole Smith died. The pastor brought her up and “look where her lifestyle got her.” It was so mean and unnecessary. I’ve never been…

This really sucks but it’s a religious school so I can’t say I’m too surprised. Pull any and all federal funding though because this is discrimination pure and simple.

I’m fine with Bernie staying in the race to accumulate votes and show Democrats that there is broad, national support for a progressive agenda. I am not alright with him staying in the race in a desperate bid to win.

She didn’t say nothin’ about Mussolini.

I wouldn’t call her dull. She was thin because she was incredibly malnourished during WWII, and suffered a lot of health problems due to it. She did many tremendous things to assist the Dutch Resistence against the Nazis. She put herself in danger to distribute anti-Nazi pamphlets and she delivered messages for the…

No raffle! Everyone who wants one, gets one. I’m pretty sure it’s in the Constitution somewhere.

I think after leaving office, he should embark on a tour across America doling out hugs to the public. Or just to me, I don’t care.

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS PICTURE AND IT WAS BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED!!!

Seriously, we find ways around the constitution all the time! Why can’t this be one of those times :(

I bet Obama gives great hugs.

I am going to miss you Mr. President. You did good. Thank you. Now I am crying.

First of all there is no golden path for mothers at work. It’s not a rose garden.

The fun* part of the IRA is that a large part of its intentions were to move Native Americans off of land to create more plantations, so it not only proved a fatal expulsion of one minority population but allowed for the expansion of the enslavement of another. It gets you both coming and going!

What do you think the venn diagram of rabid Trump supporters and domestic abusers looks like?

Despite his comments about at least two of his daughters (Tiffany here, the comments about Ivanka saying “If she weren’t my daughter...”), I actually don’t think he wants to have sex with his own children. Rather, I think he believes that the highest compliment you can give a woman is to call her fuckable. Which leads…

I think I’m doing ok! But thanks!
