New Pope Is a Blatant HOMOPHOBE!

According to AP, while the appointment of Jorge Mario Bergoglio as pope has filled many in Argentina with pride, members of the gay community are vehemently opposed to him. . .

Nearly three years Argentina became known as home to the first Latin American country to make history as the first country in the region to approve gay marriage. It was an action that then Cardinal Bergoglio actively opposed.

The gay community here remembers Bergoglio, now Pope Francis, as the man who launched "a war of God" against the move to approve gay marriage. Before the Argentine Congress approved gay marriage in July 2010, some provinces in the country and individual judges had already begun allowing it. With that reality and the pro-gay marriage stance of President Cristina Fernandez, Bergoglio urged his bishops to lobby for gay civil unions instead. It wasn't until his proposal was shot down by the bishops' conference that he publicly declared a "war of God".  The church lost the issue altogether.

Argentina hasn't suffered any commotion with the gay-marriage law. ... It would be difficult for him to now argue that it leads to chaos or discord. It hasn't destroyed the family, and the anti-Christ hasn't arrived.

Note also- Bergoglio served as head of the Argentine conference of bishops for several years and was a die-hard opponent of abortion.  He argued against sex-education laws that permit free access to contraceptives and allow Argentines to determine their gender based on their self-identity instead of their biology.

In any case, any real reform of these issues would not be up to Pope Francis alone, but would rise or fall only after an internal Vatican debate between diverse factions.

Romney's Latest LIES Are Beyond the Pale. . .

The most recent ad by the repugnant Romney campaign for President is just the most blatant ever!

The hypocrite who called for the demise of the American auto industry, Mitt Romney, now says that Obama is selling out Chrysler and its Jeep production to the Chinese, while his ad in crucial Ohio shows the crushing of good American cars!

He wants to say that Obama has destroyed the American auto industry.  What a laugh, when Obama took the initiative to save it, especially in Ohio.  The executives at Chrysler say Romney's allegations are bullshit, because they are. . . Chrysler's move to Chinese production of cars will only create more American jobs, because of the design and parts supplied for such.

More blatant lies. . . Will this guy say anything to get elected- apparently so!

Tell the Florida DOT: We demand safer biking and walking!

The new federal transportation bill recently passed by Congress now gives Rick Scott's Department of Transportation control of half of the funds allocated to Florida for safe walking and biking infrastructure. In recent years, this administration has rejected or shifted these funds for other purposes. We need to make sure our state's funds are used for their intended purpose -- our safety and the health of our environment.

Something Is Seriously Wrong with this Picture- the Land of the Free?

America has 760 prisoners per 100,000 people. Most European countries have one seventh that number (per capita, so it's adjusted for population). Even those on the high end of the global spectrum - Brazil, Poland - have only a quarter the number we do.
