By Desmond Rutherford (Adelaide, South Australia) FEB 17 | Citizen Link, a fully funded subsidiary of the Colorado Springs, Colorado based self proclaimed "Focus On The Family" Christiban organisation, has launched an appalling & bigotry filled national initiative in the form of an online petition directed at the members of the U. S. Congress.
According to this blurb from that webpage:
This national initiative will be a reminder to our elected officials that families are the bedrock of our society, our faith communities, our economy, and the principal reason for America’s stability and greatness. For our nation to thrive, our families must be protected!The Petition reads:
First and foremost, every member of Congress should first consider the impact of each piece of legislation on American families.In addition, I urge you to take action on the following issues impacting the family:1.) Eliminate government support and funding of abortion in any federal health care program, particularly the new health care law.2.) Eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion seller, which received $363 million in government funding during fiscal year 2008.3.) No new taxes or fees imposed on American families.4.) Defend the free exercise of religion and speech by rejecting the proposed Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) and repealing the Hate Crimes bill passed in 2009.5.) Support the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and demand that the Obama Administration uphold and defend DOMA.6.) Reinstate the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and underlying federal law that affirms homosexuality is incompatible with military service.I urge you to please uphold, not undermine, America's families and family values.
Note that they are demanding the repeal of the Matthew Shepard & James Byrd Hate Crimes Act, which in 2009 added LGBT people to an already existing lengthy list of groups protected on the basis of religion, race, national origin, etc. FOF wants protection against anti-Christian hate crimes, but murdering Gay & Lesbians is okay with them?
I have a simple question to ask:
Why are the so-called Christian organizations acting like Islamic extremists? |

Because they can.
Tim, I want to hear them admit that, out loud, so that everyone else can hear them, and understand the enormous distance they have strayed from their own religion's moral teachings; how they have come to still be subservient to texts which have been supplanted by the message of love thy neighbour.
These extremists are "...out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct."
- General Corman, from Apocalypse Now.
