Anti-Bullying Is Gay Indoctrination  

Forgive me, I must have missed the memo where it was decided that anti-bullying translated to gay indoctrination.

These groups are so afraid that a gay child may be helped they’re willing to allow other kids to suffers.  It’s been a while since I was in school, but I do remember that kids were bullied for many other things.  Bullying needs to be addressed; PERIOD.  Anti-bullying measures should be taught with no exceptions.  I will never understand these people. 

Oh, look, they’re trying to make it okay to be a bully as long as you’re bullying people your religion says are wrong. I wonder what kind of opinions those kids will grow up with. Oh, is it the Crusades again already?

Dennis Terry Introduces Rick Santorum

Greenwell Springs Baptist Church pastor Dennis Terry introduces Rick Santorum at a campaign and tells everyone who doesn’t agree that America is a Christian nation, that they are free to “get out.”   Then he goes on to talk out against abortion, homosexuality, traditional marriage, and all the other religious bigotry that makes up Santorum and company.  He believes the church is to be the conscience of the nation.  Clearly his nation is to only consist of Right-winged, conservative, Christian nut-jobs.  

What I find all too amusing about this is ordinarily Baptists minister would be pointing out that Santorum was a Catholic and not therefore not a Christian.  I grew up Fundamental Baptist, believe me I’ve heard it on more than a few occasions. The battle line so clearly drawn any other time sure does get erased really fast when it comes to politics does it not.  I wonder what Kennedy would have to say about all of this.  Maybe he’d say this:

These are the real issues which should decide this campaign. And they are not religious issues — for war and hunger and ignorance and despair know no religious barriers.

But because I am a Catholic, and no Catholic has ever been elected president, the real issues in this campaign have been obscured — perhaps deliberately, in some quarters less responsible than this. So it is apparently necessary for me to state once again not what kind of church I believe in — for that should be important only to me — but what kind of America I believe in.

I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute, where no Catholic prelate would tell the president (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote; where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference; and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the president who might appoint him or the people who might elect him.

I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish; where no public official either requests or accepts instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source; where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials; and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all.  ~ JFK  Sept. 12, 1960

Well. That happened. I’m going to go crawl into a history book where his lies can’t hurt me.
