The good people of Kentucky elect idiots who feel no need to abide by things most cognitively enabled American's hold sacred and are, obviously, incapable of understanding that which gives them their freedoms
Among the requirements of the 2006 anti-terror law is that a plaque be placed in the department's Emergency Operations Center. Part of the statement on the plaque reads: "The safety and security of the Commonwealth cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon Almighty God."Of course these are the people who voted George Bush to be President most likely because, even as Governor of Texas, he made it abundantly clear that he had no intentions of respecting the US Constitution or the rights of anyone who does.

A British police officer who sent emails to other officers condemning homosexuality and calling for gays to seek the help of a controversial American Christian group that claims to “cure” gays has been fired for misconduct.
Constable Graham Cogman, 49, accused the Norfolk police of promoting gay rights over religious beliefs. The emails contained biblical quotes and in one mailing said ”love the sinner hate the deed” after calling homosexuality "sinful.”
I mean honestly, can you imagine having to work with this guy? He's in your office so you feel obligated to open his e-mails lest, if hell froze over, his e-mail actually FOR ONCE was business related.
I think we all have friends who feel the need to forward every youtube link, wingnut rant or conspiracy theory they happen to come across to their entire contact list. This man ranks up there with that elusive "Prince from Nigeria", Viagra ads and webcam hookup requests.
Grab some popcorn, the details will amuse you.
Another email espoused the so-called “ex-gay” movement and said there was scientific evidence homosexuality was a matter of choice that could be cured. As evidence, he cited a U.S. group that has been discredited by both the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association.
Cogman used police department computers to send the emails, and began his campaign two years ago after the force’s gay liaison unit circulated an email encouraging staff to wear a pink ribbon on uniforms during Gay History Month.
Cogman was ordered to stop sending “offensive mailings” using police computers. But the following year, he stepped up his campaign after the liaison unit asked officers to wear a rainbow ribbon during gay pride.
What part of this is being not appropriate for work did he not understand? It is very clear that his workplace was attempting to create a very inclusive and affirming environment for LGBT people. Did he not get that memo?
He also was accused of victimizing a gay liaison officer.
An internal police tribunal this week found Cogman guilty of failing to comply with a lawful order over the use of police computers and with failing to treat a colleague with respect and tolerance.
“This officer’s behavior fell well below what we expect of our people. We require an absolute commitment from all our staff to treat colleagues with politeness, tolerance and respect, regardless of their beliefs, race, age, gender or sexual orientation.”
3 cheers for another wingnut taken out of a seat of power and influence. Hip Hip, HOORAY!
And of course this opened up the conversation of LGBT rights. I knew my neighbor was pro-LGBT rights, but was unsure of her parents. They were not. They brought up all the icky sex garbage and the bible junk that most people who don't know a same-sex couple.
After a bit of discussion, mostly led by my mom and my daughter, their minds opened up. They said they have never met a same-sex couple so they have no real idea what the big deal was. I explained all the rights that same-sex couples don't get. They had no clue.
After they had left, mom and I talked. How do people meet same-sex couples?
We came up with Meet our Families Day.
Anyone have any input on this idea? I just thought I would share the thought.

WingNutDaily has a conservative cruise slated for after the new year, so you better sign up for your spot soon -- apparently there are berths available...
Why you should join WND's pre-Obama cruise
A special message – and radical offer – from Managing Editor David KupelianDear WND readers,
I know. With all three branches of the U.S. government soon to be in the hands of the liberal-left, many of you are plagued by two giant-sized questions:
1. What can you do – what can anyone do – to protect America from morphing into another pathetic socialist state where liberty, prosperity and morality are just a fond memory? And;
2. How can you positively protect yourself, your family, your assets and your personal freedoms during what promises to be a very challenging next four years?
For some inspired and possibly life-changing answers, I want to personally invite as many of you as possible to join me, along with WND founders Joseph and Elizabeth Farah, best-selling author Jerome Corsi, Jerusalem bureau chief Aaron Klein and other key WND folks on a pre-inauguration cruise in the Western Caribbean. Rest assured, we will thoroughly explore those two big issues – and a whole lot more.
Look at who you could cruise with...
For an entire week, you'll be interacting, dining, talking to and generally hanging out with:
Joseph Farah – founder, editor and CEO of WorldNetDaily, who sits at the helm of the Internet's premiere independent news organization. WND is constantly growing in readership and influence, while most of the "mainstream" (cough) press is rapidly losing readers, downsizing and in some cases going out of business. Farah has a fantastic message of hope, based on specific steps that individual Americans can take in their families and their communities to rebirth the real America, regardless of who occupies the marbled halls of Washington, D.C Jerome Corsi – whose brilliant WND reporting during the 2008 election season, including authoring the No. 1 New York Times best seller "The Obama Nation," vexed Obama so much that, out of desperation, he publicly accused Corsi of just "makin' stuff up." Besides briefing us expertly on what's in store during the upcoming "age of Obama," there's one other area in which Corsi is also tops: economics and finance, having been involved in that industry for over 25 years. Corsi is the creator of the amazingly prescient financial newsletter RED ALERT, and he's ready, willing and able to share his economic insights and advice with cruisers, both in groups and individually Aaron Klein – who talk radio legend G. Gordon Liddy says is not only "the most accurate, talented reporter in the Middle East," but also has "better access to the terrorist bad guys than Muhammad would if he came back from the dead." Now, remember the "test" Joe Biden predicted Obama will attract within his first six months – you know, the one that will sorely shake the nation's confidence in the new president? While no one (except Biden) can predict the future, there's a good chance that "test" will emanate from the Middle East, very possibly Iran. Fortunately, we'll have WND's Jerusalem bureau chief Aaron Klein cruising with us, who will fill us in on the international scene in a way that perhaps no other reporter has the knowledge and courage to do And yes, I'll be there, to expose the latest – and upcoming – political and cultural madness to infect America, and how to protect yourself and your loved ones from it. I'll also discuss my upcoming book – the sequel to "The Marketing of Evil" – and we'll explore together how to identify and combat the many immoral and atheistic influences that are attempting to subvert our core institutions and convert the greatest nation on earth into a Sodom-and-Gomorrah freak show. This is a war we can win – indeed, must win, because the soul of our nation hangs in the balance.
