(MY VIEW) Mormons and Mitt: The Myth About Separation of Church and State!
by Derrick Shore
Growing up in a devout Latter-Day Saint (Mormon) family in a suburb of Salt Lake City, I knew my religion as well as my name. My mom played the organ in a Mormon temple, I was a Boy Scout, and there was rarely a Sunday when we would miss church. Praying at least three times daily and studying the Book of Mormon were as essential as brushing our teeth or making dinner.
For the first time in American history a Mormon is the presidential nominee for a major political party. And while the Romney campaign has swiftly dismissed questions about his religion as inappropriate and irrelevant, it may seem that much of the media have tiptoed around this topic and have discussed the LDS church in glossy, broad terms. But here's why Mr. Romney's religion is relevant: For Mormons, there really is no such thing as separation of church and state.

(MK SCOTT) CLASSIC: Comparing Mitt to Donnie and Marie!
FROM NOVEMBER 23, 2007:
by MK Scott
Osmond mania is back! Who knew that ET/The Insider would be giving just as much coverage to the Osmonds as they have on Paris/Lindsey/Anna Nicole/Brittany? With Marie now in the finals on Dancing With the Stars, Donny turning 50, the Osmond Brothers celebrating their 50th anniversary, Marie fainting on live TV, the passing of Pa George, Marie's 16-year-old son in rehab, and over 120 Osmonds on Oprah, there is no denying the wall-to-wall Osmonds media firestorm. Also, don't forget to purchase Marie's doll collection, the Donny & Marie volume 1 DVD, and, of course, Marie's new holiday CD.

(MY VIEW) The Republican Platform and Gay Rights!
by Anthony Michael Kreis
The Republican Platform has arrived after much anticipation. It may very well be the most conservative platform the Party has yet to produce. The document embraces right leaning positions on everything from expanding gun rights to prosecuting pornography. But for those of us with a keen interest in the LGBT rights movement, the platform notably takes some positions that simply do not reflect reality.
It is important to approach and analyze the platform planks not from a partisan perspective, but from an academic, fact-driven one.
The Republican platform's declares that, "We . . . condemn the State blacklisting of religious groups which decline to arrange adoptions by same-sex couples. We condemn the hate campaigns, threats of violence, and vandalism by proponents of same-sex marriage against advocates of traditional marriage and call for a federal investigation into attempts to deny religious believers their civil rights."

(LIST) Hollywood's 13 Hottest Republicans!
Think all the hottest celebrities are Democrats? (Hello, George Clooney and Sarah Jessica Parker.) Well, you're wrong: E! rounds up 13 sexy Hollywood Republicans:

- Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar: Both members of this couple are registered Republicans.
- Shannen Doherty: The Beverly Hills 90210 star once said that she has no problem with all the Democrats in Hollywood—"and they should have no problem with the fact that I'm a Republican."

(SUPER FUNNY) Tampa’s Gay Male Prostitutes Ready For RNC’s Closeted GOPs!
For the Republican National Convention, the GOP is ready to put the “ParTy” back in Grand Ole Party and the area’s gay prostitute community is gearing up for its busiest season, with a “record numbers of clients.”
Between all the random Grindr hook-ups and these tantalizing Tampa temptresses, RNC attendees will barely have a free moment to reinforce traditional family values…since they’ll be busy forcing a lot of other things if you catch our drift.
“The average Tampa-area prostitute normally makes $200-$300 a week jerking off truck drivers behind the bus station,” claims “political analyst” Marie Byron in this brilliant satirical video from The Onion. “Next week they’re expecting to make about thirty times that amount sucking off secretly gay Republicans.”
