Linking while watching movies again

Specifically Prince of Persia, which qualifies for the book despite the annoying racebending. Okay, links:
•Lee Bright, a South Carolina Republican explains (hmm, raceplains?) that the Civil War was the South leaving an “abusive husband” and the abuser (the Union) refusing to let go.
•Right-winger Tony Perkins explains the First Amendment doesn’t protect pro-gay beliefs because they’re not real religion (“There is no place, there is nothing for them to stand on and say that same-sex marriage has standing in the orthodox Christian faith.”). Of course, there’s nothing in Jesus’ teaching about how we should kiss the ass of the rich as Bryan Fischer does. Somehow I don’t think that’s going to press Perkins’ buttons the same way gay rights does. And as I’ve said before, does Perkins really think government should decide on which is the true religion? (Answer: Yes so long as government picks him).
•A consumer has sued Sandy Springs Georgia, where you need a prescription to buy sex toys. Don’t be too surprised, there are a number of Southern cities that have limited, or tried to limit, the right to sell (or buy) sex gadgets.
•Confronted with growing evidence of climate change, right-bloggers say we should ignore it any way.
•Arizona Repub Gary Kiehne claims 99 percent of shooters are Democrats. Here we have some gun supporters going over the edge when confronted by anti-gun women. And here are warnings of Obama readying the US military to fire on American citizens (presumably the ones who don’t get locked up in the equally mythical FEMA death camps or denied life-saving drugs by the death panels).
•You may have heard that Jill Abramson, the first executive editor at the New York Times, got fired recently. Discussions and comparisons with the firing of the previous (male) editor by Echidne, Echidne again, LGM and The Nation.
•And this critique of Tal Fortgang, a Princeton student who’s gotten a lot of attention for his insistence he doesn’t have white privilege.
