Ask A White Guy About Black People

Nobody knows the trouble the Mormons have seen, nobody knows but Jay-sus.

Dallin Oaks

Who would have guessed that being "white and delightsome" would fail to protect one from criticism, nay, even oppression, equal to that suffered by Blacks during the Civil Rights era?

Brother Dallin H. Oaks, an apostle of the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons), spoke to students at Brigham Young University about the backlash against the church's support of Prop 8, California's anti-gay marriage campaign.

These incidents were expressions of outrage against those who disagreed with the gay-rights position and had prevailed in a public contest. As such, these incidents of 'violence and intimidation' are not so much anti-religious as anti-democratic. In their effect they are like the well-known and widely condemned voter-intimidation of blacks in the South...

Responses to Oaks' comments have been swift and sharp, causing Oaks to backpedal, admitting that the intimidation was not "as serious as what happened in the South."

The LDS church has admitted spending $190,000 in support of Prop 8, though expenses and "compensated staff time" may push that number higher.

Warren's Veils His Contempt

Rick Warren, Obama's gay-hating pick for delivering the inaugural prayer, knows which side his bread is buttered on and has closeted his church's most public contempt for the friends of Dorothy. Recently removed from his website is this copy.

Because membership in a church is an outgrowth of accepting the Lordship and leadership of Jesus in one's life, someone unwilling to repent of their homosexual lifestyle would not be accepted at (sic) a member at Saddleback Church. That does not mean they cannot attend church - we hope they do!

Can you say money-grubbing hypocrite?

Crips, Bloods Forge Peace Agreement Over Wikipedia Takeover

I read it at World Net Daily so it must be true. Joseph Farah, who is NOT homosexual, wrote about this astounding development in his column on December 14.

Wikipedia, by its own definition, is little more than an electronic graffiti board under the control of high-tech Crips and Bloods.

The point of his story, however, is that he, Joseph Farah, is not gay, though he also denied having a heterosexual relationship.

Hey, Joe. Let us know when yo've got it straight.

Pat Boone Speaks Out on Gay Terrorists and Their Allies

I believe Pat Boone could make a bigger impact if he sang the following to the tune of House of the Rising Sun.

Pretty rotten thing that happened in Mumbai, huh?....If current theories and intel are correct, this slaughter was planned and executed by one of many Islamic groups that feel directed by their religion to subjugate - or exterminate - "infidels" like Hindus, Jews, Christians and even other Muslims who don't hew to their extremist views. To them, there is only one acceptable worldview - a theology they intend to enforce on all humankind - and anyone who might disagree or obstruct their goals should be removed, violently if need be.

Thank God, it couldn't happen here. Could it?

Look around. Watch your evening news. Read your newspaper.

Are you unaware of the raging demonstrations in our streets, in front of our churches and synagogues, even spilling into these places of worship, and many of these riots turning defamatory and violent? Have you not seen the angry distorted faces of the rioters, seen their derogatory and threatening placards and signs, heard their vows to overturn the democratically expressed views of voters, no matter what it costs, no matter what was expressed at the polls? Twice?

Assuming you have become aware of all this, let me ask you: Have you not seen the awful similarity between what happened in Mumbai and what's happening right now in our cities?

Oh, I know the homosexual "rights" demonstrations haven't reached the same level of violence, but I'm referring to the anger, the vehemence, the total disregard for law and order and the supposed rights of their fellow citizens. I'm referring to the intolerance, the hate seething in the words, faces and actions of those who didn't get their way in a democratic election, and who proclaim loudly that they will get their way, no matter what the electorate wants!

What troubles me so deeply, and should trouble all thinking Americans, is that there is a real, unbroken line between the jihadist savagery in Mumbai and the hedonistic, irresponsible, blindly selfish goals and tactics of our homegrown sexual jihadists. Hate is hate, no matter where it erupts. And by its very nature, if it's not held in check, it will escalate into acts vile, violent and destructive.

The photo above is from Boone's metal album, In a Metal Mood : No More Mr. Nice Guy. I did not put the gleam in his eye, but I think it goes well with the clip on earring, the bare chest and leather jacket. I once had this album but my husband loaned it to a friend and it's gone forever. Boone covers "Smoke on the Water," and "Stairway to Heaven." It's a very useful party killer.

Newt Gingrich, feeling one-upped, told Bill O'Reilly this week,

I think there is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us...it is a very dangerous threat to anybody who believes in traditional religion.

Antigay Pastor Steven Kern of Oklahoma

He sings, too. The copy for his album, Songs from a Pastor's Heart reads, "Every cut on this album is different from the others... Better have a listen!"

Pastor Steven Kern, husband of notorious Oklahoma state legislator Sally Kern, told a fellow he thought was an anti-gay ally,

We have to get rid of that and start curing those sinners. It's past time that this nation stopped placating sin and start putting them in education programs. Courts can force drug offenders into treatment centers and violent people into anger management. There's no reason our courts can't do that with homos.

Sally made headlines in March of this year with her own batshit crazy comments,

Studies show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades. So it's the death knell of this country. I honestly think it's the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam - which I think is a big threat, okay? Cause what's happening now is they are going after, in schools, two-year olds...And this stuff is deadly, and it's spreading, and it will destroy our young people, it will destroy this nation.

Thanks, Joe. My. God.

Bible-believing Christians Clearly Wrong About What the Bible Clearly Said

From the always fresh and lovely J-Walk Blog:

Now, we folks at Bob Jones University believe that whatever the Bible says is so; and we believe it says certain fundamental things that all Bible-believing Christians accept; but when the Bible speaks clearly about any subject, that settles it. Men do not always agree, because some are dumb-some people are spiritually dumb; but when the Bible is clear, there is not any reason why everybody should not accept it. (page 1)

I want you folks to listen-you white and you colored folks. Do not let these Satanic propagandist fool you. This agitation is not of God. It is of the devil. Do not let people slander God Almighty. God made it plain. God meant for Christian people to treat each other right... Yes, Paul said, ‘God... hath made of one blood all nations of men...' All men, to whatever race they may belong, have immortal souls; but all men have mortal bodies, and God fixed the boundaries of the races of the world. Let me repeat that it is no accident that most of the Chinese live in China. It is not an accident that most Japanese live in Japan; and the Africans should have been left in Africa, and the Gospel should have been taken to them as God command His people to do." (page 13 - 14)

These Bible-believing Christians were certain that segregation was ordained by God, that the scripture clearly commanded the races to live separately. Now they are admitting that they were wrong.

Doesn't this suggest there is a chance that they could be wrong about same sex marriage?

Nebraska Students Tell Fred Phelps to Get Out of Dodge

A random Westboro Baptist Church protest

Damn, Nebraska! You're no Florida.

Police had to escort Fred Phelps and his minions from Dodge Street where they were protesting, as the police were unable to protect them from a crowd of high school students. The students threw hamburgers, and cartons of orange juice and milk at the members of Phelps' virulently anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church.

According to the Omaha World Herald,

Students chanted "Diversity," "Obama" and "Gay is OK." At one point, they broke into a chant of the Pledge of Allegiance, yelling, "Liberty and justice for all."

One student held a sign that said, "This Jew is not afraid of you." Fliers found on the ground read, "Zona libre de odio", Spanish for "Hate-free zone."

Today's Hate Mail

Titled, "I thought this site was Christian".

However from what I see ti is promoting the gay and lesbian lifestyle and abortion.

The Bible is VERY clear about how God feels about both. He destroyed Sodom and Gormorra because of homosexuality and then there is the commnadment "Thou shalt not kill." He didn't day "Thou shalt not kill anybody but babies - born or unborn."

If you are going to promote your site as Christian then you need to cleanse the site of references to this kind of activities or remove references to Christianity. The two do not go hand in hand.

It's official. You cannot be Christian if you do not worship the golden fetus, or if you love your gay neighbors.

Dobson's Employees WISH They Had a Manger

Rev. Dr. (or is it Dr. Rev.?) James Dobson, of Focus on the Family, spent so much money to defeat California's Proposition 8 against gay marriage - half a million dollars - that they're now having to lay off more than 200 of their employees.

Drew Wilson of the Denver Gay Examiner writes,

Focus on the Family could have paid those workers' salaries with that money. The organization is so concerned about same-sex marriages breaking up families but how many families will they hurt with these layoffs?

The Alliance Defense Fund, the legal division of Dobson's religious cabal...

...works year-round to preserve and protect our religious liberties, including the right to...

...sing Christmas carols at school
...pass out candy canes to classmates
...call it "Christmas vacation"
...sponsor a nativity scene on public property
...say "Merry Christmas"

Perhaps the people Dobson laid off can stay in one of the many mangers that Dobson's Alliance Defense Fund is sponsoring. Let them eat some of Jesus' birthday cake.

Christian Charity Raising Money To Feed Non-Gay Famine Victims

Christian Charity Raising Money To Feed Non-Gay Famine Victims

Gay Marriage and the Establishment of Religion

Ignore Aston Kuther at the end. Yeah, he's pretty.

Newsweek editor Jon Meacham was on Bill Maher last night and gave one of the best arguments that I've heard against Prop 8. The idea is that marriage is a religious sacrament and the people have voted on who can give that sacrament and to whom.

That looks an awful lot like the legislative establishment of religion.

Olbermann's Special Comment on Gay Marriage

Beautifully said, Sir!

I made several of these arguments in 2001 in Strange Fruit: Comparing the Struggles of African-Americans for Civil Rights with the Struggles of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Peoples.

I was especially impressed by the comments made by Georgia Representative John Lewis in 1996, which he read into the Congressional Record at the time that DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act) was being debated,

Let me say to the gentleman that when I was growing up in the south during the 1940s and the 1950s, the great majority of the people in that region believed that black people should not be able to enter places of public accommodation, and they felt that black people should not be able to register to vote, and many people felt that was right but that was wrong. I think as politicians, as elected officials, we should not only follow but we must lead, lead our districts, not put our fingers into the wind to see which way the air is blowing but be leaders.

Mr. Chairman, this is a mean bill. It is cruel. This bill seeks to divide our nation, turn Americans against Americans, sew the seeds of fear, hatred and intolerance. Let us remember the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths self-evident that all people are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. Among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

This bill is a slap in the face of the Declaration of Independence. It denies gay men and women the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Marriage is a basic human right. You cannot tell people they cannot fall in love. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. used to say when people talked about interracial marriage and I quote, "Races do not fall in love and get married. Individuals fall in love and get married."

Why do you not want your fellow men and women, your fellow Americans to be happy? Why do you attack them? Why do you want to destroy the love they hold in their hearts? Why do you want to crush their hopes, their dreams, their longings, their aspirations?

We are talking about human beings, people like you, people who want to get married, buy a house, and spend their lives with the one they love. They have done no wrong.

I will not turn my back on another American. I will not oppress my fellow human being. I have fought too hard and too long against discrimination based on race and color not to stand up against discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Mr. Chairman, I have known racism. I have known bigotry. This bill stinks of the same fear, hatred and intolerance. It should not be called the Defense of Marriage Act. It should be called the defense of mean-spirited bigots act.

I urge my colleagues to oppose this bill, to have the courage to do what is right. This bill appeals to our worst fears and emotions. It encourages hatred of our fellow Americans for political advantage. Every word, every purpose, every message is wrong. It is not the right thing to do, to divide Americans.

We are moving toward the 21st century. Let us come together and create one nation, one people, one family, one house, the American house, the American family, the American nation.

Mormons Magic Underwear - Shall We Vote On It?

THESE Are the people that voted against gay marriage? The sad thing is that Mormons believe by joining Dobson and Perkins in their hate fest that they'll finally be accepted as "real" Christians. They won't be. They're on Dobson's list, maybe a little farther down, but believe me, they're there.

Thanks, Slog

Get Out of My Bathroom, You Damned Dirty Ape!

White red-headed Peter LaBarbera, of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, is convinced that our fair women will, now that Obama will be President, be forced to share the "Ladies Room" with cross-dressing men. LaBarbera questions in his press release, Will Federal Female Employees Be Safe from Cross-Dressing Men Using Ladies' Restrooms in the Obama Administration. Heavy on questions he asks,

"..will an Obama Administration allow these big-boned men in female clothing to use ladies' restrooms in federal buildings? What will a President Obama do to protect the right to privacy of female federal workers who don't want men wearing dresses - with male genitalia - sharing their women's restroom?" LaBarbera said.

LaBarbera is so busy constructing scenarios of "big-boned" men scandalizing women in restrooms that he does not have time to garner any related facts, or to look on the bright side.

C.S. Lovett, pictured above left, may now be able to double his bathroom ministry's impact now that he can don a dress and visit the ladies room, too.

LaBarbera and all you ladies out there, don't worry. It won't be any worse than when you had to share your bathrooms with people of other races.

Mormons Don't Appreciate Being Called Intolerant

Watch the ad, which is factual, if dramatic. While missionaries would not tear up the wedding license, the law the Mormons promote would make it null and void - same thing.

Said Larry Pegram with the Values Advocacy Council,

[We] strongly condemn the ad being promulgated showing two young LDS missionaries perpetrating a 'Home Invasion.' The ad is unscrupulous, misleading, and maligns a group of very dedicated, hard working individuals exercising their constitutional rights to free speech in their support of Prop. 8. I urge all thinking individuals and organizations to condemn this ad as hateful, bigoted, and intolerant.

Pastor Miles McPherson, of the Rock Church in San Diego called the ad "shameful," a "smear tactic," and "an alarming offense to the Mormon church."

Hateful, bigoted, and intolerant? A shameful smear tactic? Did you really think you could throw your feces and not get any on you?
