'Tony Perkins Claims ENDA Will Turn America Into Nazi Germany, Do Away With First Amendment'

http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/tony-perkins-claims-enda-will-turn-america-nazi-germany-do-away-first-amendment

We've got a live one here. This guy...

Perkins writes that ENDA, which would add sexual orientation and gender identity to current non-discrimination protections such as race, religion, gender and disability, would “banish” Christians from society and have them “stripped of their livelihood” while turning America into Nazi Germany.


People just want to live and go to work. How is that hurting him, or threatening his religion? Huh? I don't know.

pretty much his dream. What an asshole he is, and I apologize for the language but there is no other way to describe him. Hell, at least an asshole has a place in life, so maybe I'm wrong, he doesn't even rank asshole status.

NO, i have to remember where I am, I am only kidding, I only mean that 60-70% of american xtians who are rightwing pigs, there are good xtians too...


In the name of Christ I HATE you if you are:

Gay
Women
Latino
Asian
Muslim
Jewish
Black
Brown
Green or Blue...oh wait, if you are green and money then no...

Perkins and those like him HATE, with great passion, all of these groups, they tolerate some minorities but the minute a WOMAN or BLACK person speaks up in their arena, they best be prepared to be attacked, viciously.

They wanted them dead. They did not want them to be provided any protections.

The Nazis persecuted gay people too.

And how could ENDA banish Christians, if the law against religious discrimination has not "banned" them already?

serving the public, granted a license by a governmental agency, cannot refuse to bake a cake for gay wedding couples. That's the latest poutrage.).

THIS is what the Right is calling "destruction of Christianity" by the Democrats. And why no real Democrat belongs to any of those mega-churches.
