Christian Right: Intolerant and Homogenous?

By -
A "homosexuality detection expert" at the conservative Family Research Council told the NY Times that words like "tolerance" and "diversity" are part of a "coded language that is regularly used by the homosexual community."

So all these years we were taught to believe that acceptance of those with different views, races, beliefs, etc. was a laudable tenent. It turns out that any god-fearing, all-american, heterosexual should hate anyone different. Oh, I'm sorry; I forgot: this is business as usual in the evangelical land of W.

This is maddening. The simplicity of tolerance is so logical. I have an in-law who is waaay into the fundamentalist lifestyle. This person joyfully swims in that insane rhetoric, and then e-mails the right-wing agenda to me. I read and mutter f-u every other sentence. I would put a stop to the e-mails, except that I want to know what they are up to. What a dangerous bunch of fanatics.

I want my country back. Have you seen:

Every time I hear something insane going on in the U.S. (which is daily)...I check my poster to see if that person is listed. 9 times out of 10...there they are.

Gallup: 50% of Americans Now Say Bush Deliberately Misled Them on WMDs

By -
Are Americans finally getting wise? There are no WMDs in Iraq, nor have there ever been any WMDs in Iraq. We were lied to about Iraq. We are being lied to about Social Security. Basically, we are lied to every time Bush opens his mouth. It is a tragedy that we had to elect him in order to wake up to how much Bush lies. The "axis of evil" IS the Bush Administration. ... But I digress. Half of all Americans, exactly 50%, now say the Bush administration deliberately misled Americans about whether Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, the Gallup Organization reported this morning. "This is the highest percentage that Gallup has found on this measure since the question was first asked in late May 2003," the pollsters observed. "At that time, 31% said the administration deliberately misled Americans. This sentiment has gradually increased over time, to 39% in July 2003, 43% in January/February 2004, and 47% in October 2004." ... Last week Gallup reported that 5...

Lone Activist Group Submits 99.8% of all Complaints to the FCC

By -
According to a new FCC estimate nearly all indecency complaints in 2003—99.8 percent—were filed by the Parents Television Council, an activist group. This year, the trend has continued, and perhaps intensified. Through early October, 99.9 percent of indecency complaints—aside from those concerning the Janet Jackson “wardrobe malfunction” — were brought by the PTC, according to the FCC analysis dated Oct. 1. (The agency last week estimated it had received 1,068,767 complaints about broadcast indecency so far this year; the Super Bowl broadcast accounted for over 540,000, according to commissioners’ statements.) The prominent role played by the PTC has raised concerns among critics of the FCC’s crackdown on indecency. “It means that really a tiny minority with a very focused political agenda is trying to censor American television and radio,” said Jonathan Rintels, president and executive director of the Center for Creative Voices in Media, an artists’ advocacy group.

Scientists offered cash to dispute climate study

By -
Bush, Big Oil at it again. Always at it. This time it is just a little more blatant. Here's to the worst planet money can buy. From the story: Scientists and economists have been offered $10,000 each by a lobby group funded by one of the world's largest oil companies to undermine a major climate change report due to be published today. Letters sent by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), an ExxonMobil-funded thinktank with close links to the Bush administration, offered the payments for articles that emphasise the shortcomings of a report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
