my hate mail to the TVC

[minnesotaDFLer]

after reading the hate mail that was sent to the DU, i felt compelled to share my one that was sent to the traditional values coalition. (if you can bear it, here's the link) http://www.traditionalvalues.org/index.php, anyway here it is:

quite honestly, your behavior is reminiscent to that of the nazis in Hitler's rise to power. You slander homosexuals. Do you honestly think god wants you to hate people because they're different? Of course not, why can't people just be left alone? it is very sad and discouraging that people would not agree with this. Hate-mongering is a dangerous thing. And although the neo-conservatives seem to have power of congress and both other branches of the government, this war is far from over. If history has taught us anything, it has taught us that good always wins in the long run. Love conquers hate. And your prejudice agenda will be defeated by the power of compassion.


sincerely, Alex Rich

Judgment is reserved for God not for you or anyone... Get off your high horse.

National Laboratory for Bad Government
May 25, 2005

AUSTIN -- Here in the National Laboratory for Bad Government, it's Duck and Cover time -- the Legislature is in session. The Can't-Shake-Your-Booty bill passed the House, saving us all from the scourge of sexy cheerleaders. But nothing else is getting done. The state is being run by people who do not know how to govern. Keep in mind that based on past form, whatever lunacy is going on in Texas will eventually sweep the country.

Rarely are the words of one state legislator worth national attention, but when Senfronia Thompson, a black representative from Houston, stalks to the back mike with a certain "get-out-of-my-way" look in her eye, it's, Katie, bar the door. Here is Thompson speaking against the Legislature's recent folly of putting a superfluous anti-gay marriage measure into the state constitution:

"I have been a member of this august body for three decades, and today is one of the all-time low points. We are going in the wrong direction, in the direction of hate and fear and discrimination. Members, we all know what this is about; this is the politics of divisiveness at it's worst, a wedge issue that is meant to divide.

"Members, this is a distraction from the real things we need to be working on. At the end of this session, this Legislature, this leadership will not be able to deliver the people of Texas fundamental and fair answers to the pressing issues of our day.
