Legislating Hate: The Family Research Council On The Attack!


TRUE BLUE Americans Get Married,
Have Tons of Christian Babies
...and Bash Fags!

New York Times 10/27

About Proposition 8:

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian lobby based in Washington, said in an interview, “It’s more important than the presidential election.”

“We’ve picked bad presidents before, and we’ve survived as a nation,” said Mr. Perkins, who has made two trips to California in the last six weeks. “But we will not survive if we lose the institution of marriage.”
Tony Perkins is beginning to sound like a bad Sarah Palin imitation. He rallies his troops with threats to freedom, democracy, the American Dream, (hockey) motherhood and apple pie. He knows he's hate-mongering whenever he writes or speaks, but no longer cares. He's even blamed John McCain for the nation's lax morals:

“He’s not helping, and he’s not being helped by the support for the marriage amendment,” Mr. Perkins said, in contrast to the campaigns of President Bush.

Perkins sees himself as a General in the culture wars (although James Dobson is definitely the commander-in-chief). His rhetoric is not quite as militaristic as Rod Parsley's, but he's definitely trying to fire up an infantry of angry mobs ready to lynch anyone they deem "un-American."

The chief problem with all this: Perkins' meaning of a "Christian Soldier" is a redneck from a Sarah Palin mob .

Remember: Proposition 8 is really "Proposition Hate."

Just a thought.
