The Military can focus on its primary mission: celebrating homosexuality as the source and summit of all that is good, noble and beautiful. Because *nothing* is more important than that we all know who is gay. Each and every soldier in our military needs to know which of their comrades is gay and needs to be compelled to celebrate that fact. Tolerance is not enough. You. MUST. Approve! In other news, my lonely quest to make the military celebrate Jolliness... Read more

In this post he complains about the “Christmas Inquisitors” who are supposedly just as offended by... Read more
Binksy does all mankind a favor by posting this gem from Alison Krauss and Yo Yo Ma: He writes: First thought: here is a taste of the sweetness and power of the Good News, that God’s Son was born for us.
