LA Times article today about christian women terrorists... |
|
sorry I am reading the real paper not the online version.
the article is front page, about a group of allegedly christian women, founded by the wife of leHay. The goal of the group is to shove their religion into the rectums of all living humans. they attempt to do this goal by threatening, intimidating, and terrorizing those with opposing views.
In many instances they see the right wingers as being toooooo moderate. This old woman laHay seems to think that every so called liberal agenda item is all the fault of gay activists.
Unfortunately her group has lots of cash and influcence, and is coordinating with other like minded groups to attack america in the style of the Taliban.

2. I read the same article |

and all I saw was a highly organized lobby campaign. No different than what the NAACP et all has done in the past.
Lighten up a little, you got to let them have their right to.:beer:

would automatically bitch-slapped them if they try to shove their ideals down their throats. Yes they have their rights but those with opposing views have their's as well. They need to keep it in the church. Those of us who do not want to be bothered, shouldn't have to be.

I know this is more than four paragraphs, but you have to register and there is a whooooolllle lotta loony I left out....
Concerned Women for America always takes the most uncompromising positions. The group, founded 25 years ago in San Diego, almost never settles for half a loaf. And at the first hint of backsliding, it attacks its conservative comrades with the same fury it unleashes on liberals.

Like other such groups, for example, it opposes abortion and marriage for gays and lesbians. But the organization also objected to this year's proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage because, officials say, the language did not go far enough — it did not ban civil unions. They hope a 2005 version will close loopholes that could have sanctified marriage by another name.
The group opposes hate crime legislation too, because it says making attacks on gays a special crime suggests the government approves of homosexuality.
In addition to drawing immutable lines in the sand, the group finds ways to advance its interests. So its antiabortion efforts not only include pressuring the Food and Drug Administration to rescind approval of the RU 486 abortion pill, but also seek enactment of the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act. That measure, to be introduced in the coming Congress, would require doctors to tell a woman seeking an abortion after 20 weeks that the fetus would feel pain during the procedure. It also would require doctors to offer anesthesia to both the mother and fetus.

Religious liberty, as the group defines it, includes lifting the Internal Revenue Service ban on churches participating in politics. And it includes cheering judges who display the Ten Commandments in public places and championing courts that uphold the right of schoolchildren to say "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance.

The organization also has been a leader in the attack on "Kinsey," the movie about the life of sex-research pioneer Alfred C. Kinsey. The "ultimate goal" of Kinsey and his followers, the group's website says, has been "to normalize pedophilia, or 'adult-child sex.' "

7. Dominionist, not "fundie" |
|
Fundamentalists have been around a long time; originally, many of them just wanted to be left alone. Some still do, but others have become politicized; they want the US transformed into an ultra-Calvinist version of Old Testament Society--with Dominion over the rest of the world. This article gives a good overview of their rise to power.
www.yuricareport.com/Dominionism/TheDespoilingOfAmerica.htm
Tim & Beverly LaHaye, alumni of Bob Jones University, are stalwarts in the Dominionist movement. He co-wrote the "Left Behind" series. She started her CWFA--originally, to fight the Equal Rights Amendment. Her site is one of the sources of certain stories adopted by other "Christians" & the stooge media. "Christmas Under Attack" anybody?
People with Fundamentalist / Evangelistic leanings often find themselves parroting the Dominionist line, but they'd be shocked if they knew the Dominionist plan for the future.

6. LOL, we have a group in my community |
|
that matches this group to a 'T', only they are backed by LeFever. Hay Fever? White Wing nutcase Tim LeFever ran against Vic Fazio a couple of years ago and got soundly beaten. It hasn't stopped his movement as they are still at it, attacking any and everything I believe in. I suspect they all receive the same brown paper fish wrap packet of propaganda each week as they seem to have the same talking points that end up in local republican trash newspapers. Nasty bunch of hate filled people.
