Father, Help Your Daughter!

Wow...If it weren't so scary....if there weren't so many people out there that would probably agree with this asshat...people that I grew up with....I'd be laughing at this article. San Francisco and Islamists: Fighting the Same Enemy

Can you even believe that this asshat is assanine enough to compare people fighting for their civil rights to Islamic Fundamentalists? The extreme Christian right is so much closer to the Islamic fundamentalists philosophically that it's not even funny. They may not carry out their theology in the same manner (yet) and as long as your name isn't Matthew Shephard, but still....Unbelievable!

Radical secularism....uh no...how about just separation of church and state.

Religious nihilism?...I don't think so...how about just a little bit of religious freedom...you are free to believe what you want to but don't shove it down my throat or use your interpretation of it to effect civil laws.

We're "pre-occupied with destroying America's distinctive values"...just mind-boggling to read that when what we are doing is TRYING to preserve America's distinctive values...all the while having to fight against George W Bush and his cronies who are trying their best to destroy them and impose some kind of Orwellian, militaristic, one-religion society and call it "American" and "patriotic"

The "left opposes anti-Islamism"...Yes....your rights stop where someone else's begin. Read the fucking Bill of Rights. I am not Islamic, but I do oppose the terrorizing of Muslim peoples for the sole purpose of empire building, greed, and an at-best misguided "war on terrorism". Look at this link (only if you don't have a weak stomach) for why I feel this way. I have a strong stomach but it still made me sick. THIS is what you brush aside as "collateral damage" Mr. President?

Speaking of same-sex marriage: "redefining the central human institution marks the beginning of the end of Judeo-Christian civilization"...yes...we've heard this end-of-the-world rhetoric before...for instance, when slavery was being abollished, when schools were being integrated, and interracial marriage debated.

"More children will consider members of the same sex" as partners. The majority of society will always be heterosexual. Children of homosexual couples are overwhelmingly straight. Someday it will be discovered that we come this way nothing can "make" us this way. These children will stop killing themselves for fear of rejection from society, parents, and people like this author. This is a tired argument.

Yes "join the fight". Join the FUCKING fight. Gay and lesbian people who are choosing to remain a-political at this point in history piss me off.

For so long, I have considered myself a Christian. The more I study the life of Jesus, the less I see his teachings or actions in his followers. It reminds me of the sign I've seen at rallies "Jesus save us from your followers"...how true it has become during this time in our nations history as we are fighting to save ourselves and our country from those who are hating in Jesus' name.
