Ah Ken Cuccinelli, right-wing god-bot and culture warrior deluxe. We’re all weary with claims by social conservative hypocrites about how they pine for a freer, smaller gubmint America, with liberty for all; except of course when it comes to things they approve of, whether it’s preventing people from entering into marriages the wingnut gubmint dislikes or forcing people to remain in marriages the same theocrats adore: [Read more…]
Oh Pat Robertson, you rascally rascal, you cuddly wizened little adventuresome fascist.
