Red-Caped Catholic Loons Brainwash Next Generation Of Anti-Gay Zombies

The red-caped loons of the Catholic hate group Tradition, Family, & Property run an all-boys summer camp where activities include chainmail swordfights and recreations of the Crusades. TFP and their marching teen zombies have appeared at virtually all anti-gay hate rallies over the last year.

IOWA: NOM's Hate Bus Tour Begins

The latest edition of NOM's summer hate bus tour kicked off today in Iowa with doomed GOP presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty. Good As You has the list of the anti-gay hate group leaders featured in the above photo. It appears that this year's tour is drawing the same tens of supporters as last year's laugh-fest did.

Pat Robertson: Rick Perry Governs Texas According To The Bible

And, presumably, we can expect even more Christian sharia if he gets elected president.

HomoQuotable - Frank Bruni

"With the stock market floundering and our credit rating downgraded and millions of Americans stranded in unemployment and Washington frozen in confusion, the temptation to look for one summary prescriptive — for certainty, even miracles — is strong. We’d be wise to resist it. To get us out of this mess, we need a full range of extant remedies, a tireless search for new ones and the nimbleness and open-mindedness to evaluate progress dispassionately and adapt our strategy accordingly. Faith and prayer just won’t cut it. In fact, they’ll get in the way." - New York Times columnist Frank Bruni, on Rick Perry's prayer rally.

A Cavalcade Of Hate Group Leaders

TX Gov. Rick Perry Wants Constitutional Bans On Abortion & Gay Marriage

Rick Perry is a die-hard Tenther who totally supports states' rights. EXCEPT in those cases where the Christianist agenda is better served by overriding states' rights with federal constitutional amendments. Got that?

Harry Jackson Goes Seven Mountains

Lying preacher Harry Jackson, who infamously faked living in DC in order to have standing to fight gay marriage, has begun parroting the tenets of Seven Mountains dominionism, which claims that only Christians have the God-given right to rule America's courts, schools, and legislatures.

The Media Is Anti-American

Pat Robertson on Islam: "Are you so anti-American, are you so opposed to this great nation and the freedoms you have that you want to embrace something out of the eighth century, BC?" Irony, people! Let's hear it for irony set completely adrift from self-awareness!

TEXAS: Perry Prayer Event May Flop

It looks like Texas Gov. Rick Perry's controversial Christians-only prayer rally may have dreadful attendance.

Openly and deeply religious, Texas Gov. Rick Perry organized what seemed like a slam-dunk event for a politician in a state where religion and politics walk hand in hand: He would fill Houston's Reliant Stadium with fellow believers in a seven-hour session of Christian atonement by some of the nation's most conservative preachers, exhorting believers to pray about the nation's moral decline. Since he set up the event scheduled for Saturday, however, Perry has become the most talked-about almost-candidate in the 2012 Republican presidential field. But with only 8,000 RSVPs for a stadium that seats 71,500 people, virtually no politicians planning to attend, and a slate of organizers who hold out-of-mainstream views on religious freedom, gay rights and even Adolf Hitler, the event has become a potentially risky gamble if Perry is serious about running for the White House.

This could be quite delish.

MISSOURI: Public School Board Bans Novels That Are "Contrary To The Bible"

A public school board in Missouri has banned Kurt Vonnegut's classic novel Slaughterhouse Five because it "teaches ideas that are contrary to the Bible." This action came after a protracted complaint campaign by local university "professor" Wesley Scroggins.

Shortly before 9 p.m. Monday, the school board voted 4-0 -- three members were absent -- to keep Laurie Halse Anderson's "Speak," an award-winning book about date rape, and remove Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five" and Sarah Ockler's "Twenty Boy Summer." Wesley Scroggins, a Republic resident, challenged the use of the books and lesson plans in Republic schools, arguing they teach principles contrary to the Bible. "I congratulate them for doing what's right and removing the two books," said Scroggins, who didn't attend the board meeting. "It's unfortunate they chose to keep the other book."

Jesus Loved Employment Discrimination

Whackadoodle dominionist and American history revisionist David Barton says that Jesus H. Christ himself endorsed employment discrimination. Therefore, of course, Christian organizations should be exempt from hiring laws.

Now discrimination today is always a bad word a hundred percent of the time, but it simply means making a choice between or making a difference between. And discrimination means I am going to discriminate and say I can tell a difference between a Christian and a non-Christian and therefore I only want Christians working on my church staff. I can tell the difference between someone who says they're homosexual and someone who says they're straight. A secular organization has a tough time discriminating, but a church needs to have the right to discriminate. This is a biblical issue because Jesus has an entire parable in Matthew 20: 1-15 where he talks about a landowner who had a vineyard who went out to hire folks to work in his vineyard.

Right Wing Watch notes that Barton has previously cited the same Bible passage to support his claim that Jesus would have opposed the minimum wage.

Perkins Forces Perry To Take It Back

Hate group leader Tony Perkins has forced Texas Gov. Rick Perry to walk back his previous statement that he was "fine" with same-sex marriage if that's what a state were to decide for itself.

Here's the new quote by Perry which was just posted to the blog of the Family Research Council: "I probably needed to add a few words after that ‘it’s fine with me,’ and that it’s fine with me that a state is using their sovereign rights to decide an issue. Obviously gay marriage is not fine with me. My stance hasn’t changed."

RELATED: Perkins adds that Perry also supports a federal constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. This is just more evidence of how the dominionists are forcing the GOP presidential field to conform to their vision of a Christian theocracy.

Yeah, I don't know what that means either.

TEXAS: Another Anti-Gay Hate Group Joins Gov. Rick Perry's Prayer Event

"I am honored to be a national co-chair of The Response. [Our members] are invited to take part in whatever way possible, whether it's coming to actually be a part of the event, or just praying at home. We believe that it's just important that women of faith come together and pray for our country. How far have we come as a nation from the early days of George Washington calling people to prayer, to today, where a governor calls on people within his state and people around the nation to come together in prayer and lawsuits get filed?" - Penny Nance, head of Concernstipated Women for America.

NOTE: While Perry may say he has no issue with same-sex marriage (in the name of states' rights), through his prayer rally he has aligned himself with virtually all off the most virulently anti-gay groups in the nation. These are hate groups that have publicly advocated to have you imprisoned and deported. Remember that the next time somebody mentions Rick Perry's position on marriage.

American Family Association: The First Amendment Only Applies To Christians

"The First Amendment was written neither to guarantee freedom of religion to Muslims or Buddhists or Hindus nor to prohibit their free exercise of religion. It wasn’t written about them one way or another. It was written for one specific purpose: to protect the free exercise of the Christian religion. We must be clear: the First Amendment does not prohibit the free exercise of alternative religions, but neither does it guarantee it. It simply does not address the issue at all." - American Family Association spokesman and national radio host Bryan Fischer.

Today In Whackadoodle Dominionists

Right Wing Watch notes that deranged Christian "historian" David Barton can find "proof" of anything to do with American life as rooted in in the Bible. Did you know the Bible forbids the minimum wage? And capital gains taxes? Cuz it totally does. Today, with no proof or citations, Barton claims that constitutional due process was lifted from the Bible. Because everything to do with anything in the history of the United States is based in Christianity. Which is why only Christians are God-approved to run this country.
