* Hate by any other name, is still hate.
"Liberal congressmen have now introduced a bill adding 'sexual orientation' specifically to federal workplace protection," the pro-family spokesman says. "This would be the first time, if it passes, that Congress has created a special civil-rights category for sexual orientation."(...)
If the legislation passes, he adds, it could set America on a downward spiral into depravity and, meanwhile, open the floodgates to all sorts of special rights groups.
* How do you effectively protect an entire planet from religious zealotry?
* A fair and balanced look at the flag desecration issue from the right.
* Doin' it by the numbers isn't effective if you're using the wrong numbers, a POV on the Iraqi bodycount.
* Increasingly fascinating is, that no matter how bad the screw-ups, how egregious the misleading of the voters, how catastrophically bad the war is managed and how criminal the administrative leaks are, the GOP do not deviate from their blind faith to their leader.
* Talk about a match made in heaven... a porn mogul and a CNN producer. Might even make Larry King worth watching.
So what the point, that Kathy Benz is a slut?

Posted by: kerry at July 25, 2005 05:25 AMChristians have been taken for a ride and they don’t even know it. Do they really understand the basis for their homophobia? A lot of wealthy people, think tanks and politicians have successfully defined and framed what it means to be a Christian in America. It’s the most brilliant marketing campaign of all time. Christians have been led to believe that they have shaped politics when it’s actually the politicians who have shaped them. They’ve allowed these outside forces to dictate their dogma. They obediently demonize whatever and whomever the campaign specifies. They have dutifully followed the “sexual sin is the greatest sin” carrot. They’ve blindly focused on sex because the right-wing marketing machine feeds this to them knowing the simple-minded will gobble it up. Because it’s so much easier than (gasp!) actually thinking for themselves. It’s incredibly easy to program the willing. But most importantly the political strategy of distraction prevents loyal followers from focusing on the most egregious sin of all – worshipping money and material gain – which obviously would be counterproductive to the Repug cause. Christians have been played and they are oh-so-blissfully unaware. It’s unbelievably pathetic.
