Gay Foes Increase Pressure On Ford
A conservative Christian group has joined the boycott against Ford Motor Company and says it intends to lobby the beleaguered firm's investors.

The Fort Lauderdale-based Center for Reclaiming America for Christ claims to have 800,000 members across the country. This week it joined a boycott led by the American Family Association in demanding the automaker stop funding the LGBT media and supporting gay causes.

The CRAC brings to 20 the number of groups involved in the boycott. In announcing it was joining the action the organization said it is distributing a petition to its members and expects to present it to shareholders at Ford's annual meeting May 11.

"If Ford wishes to disregard its values-oriented clientele, then the company should be prepared to do without our hard earned dollars," said Gary Cass, Executive Director for the Center.

"If Ford wishes to disregard its values-oriented clientele ... I've got news for you, Miss Thing ... ALL of us are values-centered, but it's only faux "christians" like you whose values include bigotry and hatred.

1. These people have no values
but there is one thing that is really ticking me off right now - what exactly. . .are we doing about this bullying attempt? Where is our petition drive? Are WE putting a proposal demanding that Ford not endorse some minority religious belief at the expense of the faith the rest of us hold?

2. "Values-Oriented" - I have to chuckle

They value destroying the constitution and replacing it with their book of beliefs which they pick and choose in to justify their hate. If they had any concept of constitutional liberty they would not be engaged in such activity, proving once again that "christians" are the number one domestic enemy of the constitution.

Thanks for keeping us informed of their nonsense.

3. Let's just "Probe" this idea for a moment
Perhaps these people are just suffering from lack of Escorts, and seeking an Escape from their Galaxie of shame and repression. Perhaps they think they are Mavericks for Christ, and are just trying to secure their place in that big Fiesta in the sky. Perhaps they were all born under the sign Taurus, and are just too stubborn to take that next step and become sensual Explorers of life.

How tragic.
