FEDERAL JUDGE: Arizona gay man's marriage to dead husband must be recognized

Gay marriageIn another victory for equal rights in this country a federal judge has ordered Hell on Earth Arizona, my current state of residence unfortunately, to recognize the gay marriage of a Vietnam war vet to his dead husband and thus he is entitled to death benefits like heterosexuals (who have a habit of beating their wives and getting away with it). And this ruling is important because the guy needs those benefits in order to save his home he bought with his husband:
Today's ruling may not help McQuire with one thing he was hoping to get: the veteran and Social Security benefits from Martinez that normally would go to a spouse, money he said he needs to keep the couple's Green Valley home. 
Attorney Jennifer Pizer said that is because federal law requires marriages to be of a certain length to prevent "sham'' weddings solely for benefits. But Pizer said that, armed with today's ruling, she intends to challenge that limit as it applies to gay couples whose home state has thrown roadblocks in their path. 
In this case, she said, McQuire and Martinez were together and lived as spouses for 45 years, with only the Arizona law preventing them from being called married.
But since this state is famous for its contempt against veterans, (besides gays and Mexicans) I highly doubt the cold heartless hag governor Skeletor would let this go by.

Bill Maher: It's naive to think that Islam is not more violent than other religions

Bill Maher on Charlie Rose making interesting points about religion and teabagger-isk Muslim Jihadists:
“Vast numbers of Christians do not believe that if you leave the Christian religion, you should be killed for it. Vast numbers of Christians do not treat women as second-class citizens. Vast numbers of Christians do not believe that if you draw a picture of Jesus Christ you should get killed for it.”

Although I would add one caveat to what Bill said: more and more Christians in the US, in particular teabaggers, are becoming so right wing and reactionary that line between Islam and Christianity is being blurred. Many Christian evangelicals have in the past praised Islamic Jihadists for executing gays.

Crackheads, alcoholics, criminals, wife-beaters all of sudden turn to Jesus and become anti-gay bigots

And so when the Ravens player Ray Rice was arrested and charged for aggravated assault against his then fiance, he has since then "found Jesus" and has become a "born again Christian":
The raging running back turned to Jesus for salvation after punching out his fiancĂ©e in a casino elevator — becoming a born-again Christian along with his battered better half. 
Rice and Janay Palmer were both baptized in a Baltimore church about a month after the Valentine’s weekend attack, a family source told The Post. The two were married a short time later. 
They have also undergone religious mentoring with other couples including NFL players and their wives, sources told TMZ. 
The church has long been an important part of Rice’s family.
I don't know if you are noticing a pattern like I am.

We have seen this played out before. Morons and criminals like Rice do their bad deeds against society, hurt themselves and the people around them, and then "finally" they have a turn to Jesus moment. Right...

Why wasn't Jesus there in the beginning to stop such dumb fucks from creating havoc in the first place? Yes, I believe in second chances and all but come on, what we would like to see in criminals is genuine remorse for their actions and not coerced blackmail of the soul. Criminals shouldn't lament their actions because "Jesus and the Bible says so" but because we as a modern society demand it and such remorse is only genuine when the criminal in question understands the impact they have committed against the victims and not because of any supposed beliefs in superstitious nonsense. Piety will not erase the damage that they have created, it simply doesn't nor should it work that way.

And the most obvious pattern we notice of these "born again" Christian chumps is their eagerness in becoming bigoted bible-thumpers, transforming themselves into Jihadists in a holy war against the "immorality" of other people, who for the most part are not criminals like them. This is due to an inferiority complex that these criminals tend to have once they have suffered the consequences of their actions. They will scapegoat gays, women who do abortions, fornicators and those who watch porn in order so that in their minds at least their own criminal behavior will be diminished compared to the "evil" homosexuals ruining marriage and society. Its the old "yes I'm a wife-beater drug addict but at least I'm not a fag" mindset of juvenile arrogant bigots who throughout their lives engage in mind-tricks to defraud and lie to others while they impose their destructive behavior.

We see people like another NFL rocker named David Tyree who went on an anti-gay Christian Jihad saying that gays will bring about anarchy. Tyree, like many "turned to Jesus" freaks has a history of smoking crack and other criminal activity. Still lately the NY Giants hired the crack-head to be the team's player development head. I'm not sure what kind of development a bible-thumping crackhead would bring. But again we are talking about the National Felons League here.

Many of these born-again charlatans have a huge rap-sheet of drug dealing, prostitution, crack smoking, domestic violence and other such depravity. But they think they can fool us by using religion and holy ghosts and whatnot to convey that they are not only better then what they were before, but now they are even better than you and me because they have God on their side. This is not the thinking of any sound person who has deep remorse over their criminal behavior but are clear fascist tendencies that Christianity and the other two Abrahamic religions sometimes espouse.

Those of us with normal social behavior do not need to feel "holier than thou" in order to keep our conscious in a calm state. Most of us do not engage in criminal behavior or smoke crack like fucking bums. So the need to be a holy fag basher, for the majority of us, is not there. We actually have lives and we ant to live them, thank you very much.
