Queers Blamed for New Orleans Destruction

September 1, 2005September 29, 2018 B. John 321 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.

Gary Bauer's Doublespeak on Right to Life

August 22, 2005 B. John 344 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 381 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 396 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 313 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 355 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 307 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.

The Ultimate Result of Gay Bashing

To maintain political power, the right wingnuts continually beat the drum of hatred for Gay people. It is time for Christians and good people in this country to call out their flawed “preaching” and their vile rhetoric. These people need to know that their words and teachings have consequences. When you pound this drum loud and long enough, CHILDREN DIE.

Sen. Tom Coburn's Right to Be Stupid

July 14, 2005 B. John 281 Views

“U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn challenged the accuracy of Terri Schiavo’s autopsy Thursday, saying he has a copy of the Florida woman’s medical file. I have on my desk a complete medical file of Terri Schiavo, and I would challenge the accuracy of many of the statements by people involved in that case in terms of her medical condition, and I would also challenge some of the autopsy findings based on what I have on my desk in Washington,” Coburn said.
