…as you would have them do unto you means the church gets what it has coming to it. for some weird reason, the mormon and catholic churches are acting all shocked and offended that there’s a massive outcry against them for their bigotry in supporting california’s prop 8.
apparently it’s ok for churches to take an active part in bigoted oppression, spending time and money promoting hatred and division, instead of championing social justice. apparently it’s ok for the church to take political stands in clear violation of federal tax laws, despite the scriptures stating to honor the laws of the land. apparently it’s ok for them to declare people with alternative sexual preferences as abominations, despite the fact they should deem themselves abominations because they trim their beards and eat fish and swine and don’t throw their wives out of their house every month when they’re on their period.
so, to these churches and to the people who support their policies i say this sincerely: fuck you. your oppression is your own doing. pull your heads out of your hypocritical asses and realize this: you are the problem with society, not them. maybe if you spent more time reading and focusing on the parts of scripture that teach you how to love, you wouldn’t have enough time to spread all that hate. gay people and even homosexuality in general are not your problem, YOU ARE. grow up and grow a pair, and confront your leaders when they speak out in bigotry and hatred. speak out for social justice and the human rights of others, or you will only stir up more hatred against yourselves.
stand up, grow up, and act right, or any oppression that you may face will be your own doing, and will be for the cause of hatred and evil, not for god. i promise you that.
robert greenwald and the fine folks over at brave new films are making it easy for people like you and me to send a message to john mccain and sarah palin’s campaign, calling on them to stop campaigning with a message of hatred and racial prejudice. watch the video below, then please, take a minute of your time to click the link below and send your message to john mccain that this rhetoric has no place in american politics. -h
…another batch of lies from sarah palin. today, she made the claim via a conference call with alaskan reporters that she was cleared of any legal wrongdoing and of any “unethical activity” by the report released friday even though the alaska legislation’s investigative report(led by a panel with a republican majority, no less) found that she had violated state ethics laws. oh, and just like i said, she’s blaming it on the democrats. shocker!
i guess if you lie often enough, even when the facts on paper clearly refute your case, if you’re pretty enough and talk about god enough then people won’t notice.
he seems hell-bent on dividing this country with his hate and fear-mongering, and obviously doesn’t know a “brazen and baseless attack” if it comes out of his own mouth.
after all that’s happened in the political landscape this week, especially all the accusations made by palin herself about obama, her credibility is now officially toast. this is a blatant ethics law violation, and consisted of not 1 or 2, but 19 separate phone calls by both palin and her husband trying to get his ex-brother-in-law fired.
apparently, a maverick is someone who roams the countryside spreading hatred and racism after abusing power and public office for their own personal gain, at least if you use her own quotes against her. of course, now she’ll blame political partisanship for this report - even though the investigation was launched before she was even tapped to be the VP nominee - because that’s just what a maverick does!
did i mention already how she does not deserve to be anywhere near the white house? i think i did, but i’m not sure…
