News Corp. honcho Rupert Murdoch threw his weight behind Congress' attempt to restrict the Internet, personally lobbying leaders on Capitol Hill Wednesday for two measures that purport to combat piracy.
Murdoch's media empire is among some 350 large corporations that have come out in favor of the Stop Online Piracy Act in the House, as well as the Protect IP Act in the Senate.

To Maggie Gallagher, everyone's a bigot but her
The Great Cesspool of Hate attempts to wax eloquent again.
In North Carolina, a group called Faith in America is starting a billboard and newspaper ad campaign against "religion-based bigotry," aka Christian sexual ethics.
Of all the things I have observed from my perch on the front lines of America's culture wars, the most curious is the phenomenon of the crucial moral authority of the gay man in our newly unfolding society.
Many Americans, especially conservatives, feel the need to find some gay person to defend, who will in turn defend them, reassure them that they are good persons, not intrinsically "anti-gay." Where did gay men get this moral authority?
Why, from Nietzsche of course...her words, not mine....

I believe gay people motivation is simpler than she tries to paint it:
"Back off you bigot, your badge of "religion" ain't fooling nobody....until you start fighting for all God's little commandments (He isn't is a big fan of woman's rights either).
Until then, STFU."
It seems that to people such as Ms. Gallagher and her ilk, because they have a book to reenforce their prejudges, then the "other side" must also be basing their position on a book as well.
Independent thinking never occurs to her...

Pushy Christians: Sen. Jim DeMint
DeMint said if someone is openly homosexual, they shouldn't be teaching in the classroom and he holds the same position on an unmarried woman who's sleeping with her boyfriend — she shouldn't be in the classroom.
“(When I said those things,) no one came to my defense,” he said. “But everyone would come to me and whisper that I shouldn't back down. They don't want government purging their rights and their freedom to religion.”
It's just everyone else's rights they don't give a fuck about.

China pulls the same crap they tried in Canada
Any meeting between President Barack Obama and the Dalai Lama would harm bilateral relations, China warned Tuesday while repeating Beijing's refusal to discuss Tibet's status with the spiritual leader's envoys.
An Obama meeting with the Tibetan spiritual leader would "seriously undermine the political foundation of Sino-U.S. relations," said Zhu Weiqun, the executive deputy head of the Communist Party's United Front Work Department who was in charge recent talks with the Dalai Lama's representatives.
