He's For the Right to Life, Well Most Of The Time
The chief wingnut himself, Pat Robertson, is now calling on the U.S. Government to assasinate the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.
Read moreGary Bauer's Doublespeak on Right to Life
In a Washington Post Op/Ed piece, Gary Bauer, president of American Values and chairman of Campaign for Working Families, has gone after Republican Senata Majority Leader Bill Frist over Frist’s change of heart to support federal funding for stem cell research. In typical wingnut fashion, Bauer basis his attack on the right wing’s “pro-life” belief. However, it appears to me that the right wing is interested only in protecting “unborn” life, and could give a good goddamned about the rest of us who are already living and breathing.
Read more30 Years for Beating Three Year Old to Death
You will recall I posted about this story previously. A man apparently decided that his three year old son might be turning out gay, so he decided, just as suggested by Jame Dobson in a recent parenting newsletter, that he could cure his son by “rough housing” with him.
Read moreHomophobic Pastor Bears False Witness (Just a little)
“Lesbianism is about to take over our community. I’m talking about young girls. My son in high school last year tried to go to the prom. He said, ‘Dad, I ain’t got nobody to take to the prom because all the girls in my class are gay.” Guess what? This man of the cloth is breaking Commandment #9: “Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness.”

Well, the theocrats had their meeting Sunday. All the big names were there: Dobson, Perkins, DeLay, Zell Miller and Phyllis Schlafly. Doesn’t that group just evoke the concept of justice? From the articles, there seemed to be an increased amount of venom aimed at gays. Are they worried John Roberts is soft on homos?

Read moreFred Phelps Works for The Queers?
“Politically and culturally speaking, Phelps and his protesters serve as a crude caricature of pro-family traditionalists who oppose the normalization of homosexuality. Fred makes an easy target for the media and secularists who are tempted (partly by their own prejudices) to paint any opposition to “gay rights” as hateful. For this reason, I have sometimes wondered if Phelps and his lawyerly clan are ‘gay plants.’

Well, his imminence, James Dobson has pinned it down. He now knows how to recognize if your child is “becoming” gay, and he can figure it out in pre-adolescence. And on top of that, he advises that fathers and sons shower together to “cure” boys from those tendencies. (I’ll swear, is that not a porn movie script.) I am not making this up. Its on his website.
