Why Progressives Hate George Bush?

September 27, 2005September 29, 2018 B. John 396 Views

By any objective standard, this administration is a dismal failure and has made a mockery of all the things I love about America. Things like fair elections, habeus corpus, privacy, separation of church and state, care for the less fortunate, protecting our homeland, respecting the environment, curbing the power of corporations, standing for human rights, transparency in government, respect for our military, and so many many more. Bush is steering our country back to the pre-New Deal rich-man’s playground of the Robber Baron era, while simultaneously squandering any post-9/11 worldwide goodwill and alienating what few allies we have left.

Summary Of Katrina Disaster

I thought I would make this post about Katrina, and try to move on to other things. It is a horrible disaster, and we all need to know what is going on, and understand how over government agencies are (or are not) responding to this disaster. That being said, I think there’s some fatigue to all the coverage.

I can’t say enough about this article, and its call to true Christians to reject the regligious zealots, and turn America away from becoming a theocracy.

Queers Blamed for New Orleans Destruction

September 1, 2005September 29, 2018 B. John 334 Views

Well, I guess it was just a matter of time before gay people were blamed by the wingnuts for the destruction of New Orleans by Katrina. “Repent America” now has an article on their website blaming it all on the fact that New Orleans welcomed sin. An organization of Christian fundamentalists, Repent America claims the destruction brought on by Hurricane Katrina is God’s judgment against New Orleans for holding festivals like the Southern Decadence party.

The chief wingnut himself, Pat Robertson, is now calling on the U.S. Government to assasinate the President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.

Gary Bauer's Doublespeak on Right to Life

August 22, 2005 B. John 359 Views

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.

Homophobic Pastor Bears False Witness (Just a little)

August 17, 2005 B. John 397 Views

“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.”

Just Us Sunday (Reprise)

August 15, 2005 B. John 405 Views

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?

Fred Phelps Works for The Queers?

August 15, 2005 B. John 330 Views

“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.’

Dobson Teaches How To Make Your Son Straight

August 11, 2005September 29, 2018 B. John 370 Views

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.

Tom Delay's Ethics Prove a Good Fit For Christain Right

August 4, 2005 B. John 326 Views

Tony Perkins said Frist?s stem cell position “reflects an unwise and unnecessary choice both for public policy and for respecting the dignity of human life,” and withheld a second invite. So who did they find instead? None other than Tom DeLay. He?s ?a natural fit? for the rally, said Perkins. Maybe he hasn?t heard about DeLay?s little ethics problem.
