http://ift.tt/1vKnO7d Somebody spent a great deal of time making this.

In the United States, the word “moderate” in mainstream political discourse has absolutely no meaning other than “pliable to the interests of the United States government.” Here, a theocratic absolutist tyrant, notorious for his regime of religious censorship and rigid gender apartheid, is described as “a force for moderation” because of how many enemies he beheaded.

The closest allies of kings are always other kings. The first loyalty of government is always to other governments. King Abdullah was a misogynist, theocratic, totalitarian tyrant, but rulers of the US will never stop singing his praises, because their alliance his regime was important to their own strategic objectives in the Middle East.

Mike Hubbard is wrong, again. The state of Alabama’s marriage bans were an unconscionable government intrusion into Alabamian’s private lives and consensual marital arrangements (for example, in this case severely interfering with a married couple’s ability to arrange for their own child’s care), and however limited this ruling, I am immensely glad to say that for the last 24 hours I have been living in a state freed of the dead weight of such discriminatory laws.
