Cranking up the crazy to 11... thousand: Conservatives say that ending DADT will start World War 3
Here's a quote from Cliff Kincaid in Accuracy in Media:

"GOProud, the organization at the center of the storm, claims to be "conservative" but supports the Obama policy of putting active and open homosexuals in the military, supports homosexual marriage, and even advocates a foreign policy of promoting acceptance of sodomy abroad. The latter is referred to as "Standing strong against radical regimes who seek to criminalize gays and lesbians."

These "radical regimes," such as the Christian-dominated government in Uganda, are trying to prevent the spread of AIDS and protect traditional moral values by toughening laws against homosexuality.

Under these "gay conservatives," one can imagine gay soldiers being deployed to overthrow "homophobic" regimes."

Conservatives being against war? Against what they say would violate the Separation of Church and State?

Sounds like they're more desperate than Sarah Palin for approval ratings.

1. What I don't get
Is why the religious right wing are so OBSESSED with the sex lives of other people?

Don't they have anything better to talk or fantasize about?

2. There are plenty of little things like, oh I don't know, poverty, hunger, disease, corruption, etc.

Things that Jesus actually talked and fought against.

3. Oppression is the game
The religious right uses religion to oppress people.

It all starts with you are a sinner and goes downhill from there. If you think about sex, you are a pervert and if you think about gay sex you are depraved.

8. I need to add to this:
"If you think about sex, you are a pervert and if you think about gay sex you are depraved."

If you think about sex, you are a pervert and if you think about gay sex you are depraved.

But

If you are a member of the Fanatic branch of the Christian Taliban, If you think about perverted sex and complain about it, you are a saint; and if you think about gay sex, and you complain about it, you are even more of a saint.

5. This goproud organization is so ridiculous.
Edited on Wed Feb-24-10 07:53 AM by damyank913
Okay, what they're saying is that they support their party while this same party denies them equal rights. I would think that basic human rights would trump the repeal of gun control, right to life, prayer in school, and tax cuts. Explain this to me somebody cause I don't get it.

7. Sounds more like Fiscal Conservatives
Their mission statement talks about limited government, individual liberty and national defense. Nothing that would actually interest the religious wrong.
