…an to grill meat in his own backyard. (Ostensibly, as I recall, it was because of the sexist construction of male cooking as public performance and female cooking as private duty. In actuality, it was because we hate men with all of our little shriveled-up cold cold hearts of tar, and we want to force them to consume Diet Coke and petit-fours shaped like Kotex, simply out of spite.) Then the business meeting started, after which we planned to enjo…

By Sarah Posner

…omething she’d “heard” about a “Muslim flag” being raised over the White House; Gaffney affirmed her paranoia, saying, “it is certainly possible we’d have a Muslim flag flying over the White House.” After laying into others in the conservative movement and accusing Norquist of being a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer, Gaffney expressed hope that the Faith and Freedom Coalition would “take up the fight against shari’ah.” Afterwards, I asked Breger if…

Because secularists and Muslims and environmentalists are equally the sworn enemies of anyone with a “Christian worldview” and therefore America.
