"If a man... marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights. If he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free, without any payment of money." Exodus, Chapter 21 (NIV)
I love how people try to re-write history in order to suit their needs. Especially Christians. Did people forget that it wasn't always One Man / One Woman? Do we have to go back to the Bible "the honor code" of all Christians to show them that men had multiple wives? Lawrence O'Donnell had the "last word" on his show last week and it was absolutely fantastic. Check it out...
"What did liberals do that was so offensive to the Republican party? I'll tell you what they did.
Liberals got women the right to vote.
Liberals got African-Americans the right to vote.
Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty.
Liberals ended segregation.
Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act.
Liberals created Medicare.
Liberals passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act.
What did conservatives do?
They opposed them on every one of those things every one. So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, 'Liberal,' as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won't work, Senator. Because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor."

If none of you are familiar with Orly Taitz, I'll say it in three simple words... She's A Nut! Oh wait, is that technically three words since there's an abbreviated one? Oh never mind that - she's known as the Queen of the Birthers. She was born in Russia, moved to the U.S. in 1987 and became an American citizen in 1992. She's a dentist, a lawyer and The Leader of the Birthers! LOL, it sounds like a movie, which I'm sure will be here sooner than we think.
"She also promotes a number of other allegations both related and unrelated to Obama, and has initiated a number of lawsuits on behalf of the "birther" movement." - Wikipedia
In either case, on Wednesday night's show of "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell," the crazy lady just wouldn't shut up. Lawrence had her on the show, because President Obama had just released his long form birth certificate that morning. He wanted her to apologize for the lies she spread over the past two years or so; Things didn't quite go as he planned - he had her kicked off the show.
"I invited a crazy person on the show to see if a crazy person faced with the thing that the crazy person was trying to get for the two-and-a-half years could say something responsive, something human to the document that was released today."
