American Family Association - Re-criminalize Homosexuality

Why the American Family Association, a recognized hate group, is still getting press is beyond me.  Now these bigots are calling for the reinstatement of sodomy laws!  This kind of crap is one of the biggest arguments against "states rights".  That phrase is code for just plain discrimination.  AFA would hae us living in a nation divided by modern day versions of Jim Crow Laws, but this time they would be against LGBT people.  Don't believe me, watch this:

Catholic Priest Calls Homosexuality Evil in Full Page Newspaper Ad

Found this on JoeMyGod.com, a wonderful blog.  Seems a Catholic priest in El Paso has decided to use his parish budget to take out a full page ad in the El Paso Times to condemn homosexuality.  As amazed as I am at the whole hypocrisy of the idea of an institution rife with child molesters and very sick closet cases trying to make moral pronouncements, the tone of the missive is particularly un-Christlike.

"Engaging in depraved and unnatural sexual acts will lead directly to the ruin of both the homosexual's body and soul," [Father Michael] Rodriguez writes. "Our very anatomy cries out against the lie that homosexual acts are 'ok.'" Rodriguez closes his screed by saying we live in a "godless society" that condones homosexuality. "Reflect, first there are (a) individuals committing mortal sins of a homosexual nature; next, evil extends its tentacles to (b) society as a whole accepting homosexual and homosexual activity as 'normal"; and finally, iniquity's victory is all but sealed when (c) laws are enacted which impose the putrid homosexual ideology on everyone, while those who, rightfully resist it, are ridiculed, attacked, and persecuted..."

 Luckily  Joe also included Father Rodriguez contact information.

Bachmann Sees Messages From God in Earthquake & Hurricane

A person's faith is one thing, but when a politician starts making prophetic announcements like the recent earthquake and hurricane are messages from God about Washington policy, I really draw the line.

Michele Bachmann has actually come out and said that the recent natural disasters are "warnings from God" that politicians need to change their policy.

"I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?'"

This is the kind of politics that I would be less surprised to see in the Middle-East coming from a fundamentalist Islamic leader than from an American politician.  Once again, this demonstrates how much alike the right-wing in this country and the Islamic radicals in the Middle-East really are.

Crazy eyes indeed.
