What more would you expect from fearful, hypocritical, in- denial, close minded, sheltered, victims of abuse, controlling, bigoted, sexist, ingnorant, fundamental religious types.

Representative Charles Taylor (R-NC11) has a “church and religious advisor” who is leading a hate rally in Downtown Asheville tomorrow following a prayer breakfast with the Congressman.

Read here for more details.

ThinkProgress, would you please help give this story some traction?

#1 – Still waiting to hear your response to my post #35 that provides proof that the GOP is THE political party with a stranglehold on the “culture of corruption”.

Of course, I’m not holding my breath. I don’t expect trolls to do much except “cut & run” when they’ve been given a case of red-a$$ over their calumny and mendacity.

To- #40, #41, #42, & #49, Thank you all VERY much ! This story appeared in my local paper several months ago, and I went nuts. They did not print my letter to the editor. As with abortion, I am certain that if they had a vaccine capable of erradicating Prostate Cancer, you wouldn’t be hearing any of these, “they’ll just want to have teen sex”, stories they keep telling. It would be all about “bring it on!”
#45- I am aware of this, I was just using their terminology. But the result is the same.

Maybe we should stop treating lung cancer. After all if they think it can be treated, it just encourages people to smoke.

my response to a person who opposes childhood vaccination for Human papillomavirus (HPV) was:

can you honestly believe that when your brand new baby girl is placed in your arms in the delivery room that she will never, ever, beyond a shadow of a doubt, “make a mistake?”
how can you be soooo certain that she will never have pre-marital sex?

39- It’s not about life, it’s about control. Winger control issues are right up there with Winger Projection Syndrome. Damn, put the whole lot of them on the couch.

#43 – And selectively arguing his so-called “case”.

He told me “Please stick to what is relevant.”

When I replied with proof that the GOP is the party with the most “culture of corruption” he hasn’t responded.

Oh well! It’s not like he’s the first troll to “cut & run” when his argument falls down around his ears like the ethical standard of the currently elected Republican party! ;-)

#39 Cyra -

You’ve summed up a good point with a dash of passion thrown in.

I’ve thought along the same lines for a while, too, with regards to the conservative’s platform. I’ve yet to hear a good argument to a few inconsistencies.

Killing unborn babies is bad. Killing criminals is good.

Help the downtrodden and poor. But not if they’re black in New Orleans.

God loves us all. But he loves people who think like me better.

Honor the sacred sacrement of marriage and treat your wife with respect. But you own her uterus.

Support the troops. But let’s cut funding to veteran benefits.

The children are what’s most important. Let’s not fully fund the No Child Left Behind Act.

Security, terror, boogy-man, be afraid. Na, let’s sell those ports to a country with ties to terrorists.

Drugs are bad and evil. Let’s ignore the huge opium trade in Afghanistan.

#39 – They have a skewed perspective about life: If we don’t talk about it, our kids won’t do it! Talking about condoms means that they’ll rush out to use them! Getting a vaccination to protect against sexually transmitted diseases will encourage our children to have sex!

I was raised by very religous parents in the Southern Baptist faith. We talked about many subjects so that they could explain why they believed in certain perspectives. Our open conversations made the subjects less “scary” and introduced my siblings and myself to considering other perspectives outside the ones I believed.

While I am no longer a member of the SB faith, I still consider myself a Christain and follow my faith as it leads me. Just because someone doesn’t believe the same things I do doesn’t mean I don’t respect their right to a different perspective!

Once the STD rate in Christian children starts to go through the roof, I’m sure it’ll be blamed on Pres. Clinton.

#39 – Great rant, Cyra. I’ll never figure out the “logic” of those idiots. As if sex is the worst thing a person (read: girl) could do! They will control their children into the grave, and be satisfied doing it.

Culture of life? No — Culture of me.

The righties really confuse me with their “culture of life” platform. All life is sacred, blah, blah, blah, you know the drill. But when you finally read the “small print”, after finding a microscope powerful enough to do so, you find the “except for when it’s not” part. And you see that they aren’t as concerned about life, and living, as they say they are. And they really, really, really want women to suffer. A father tells his daughter, “I love you SO much, that I would rather see you die of cervical cancer, than see you be sexually active before I am ready to deal with it.” “Oh sure, I could have allowed you to be vaccinated against it, but I was more afraid that you would take that to mean that I felt it was fine if you started being a tramp at 14.” “Yes, honey, I love you too much for that.” Each one of them appears to live in an “Me, Me, Me, and ONLY ME!!” self-contained world, where only what THEY think matters. And anything that might “f*ck with their landscape”, must be stomped to death, and they ALWAYS wear their “combat boots”.

About the religious right… fine with me if they don’t go for the HIV drugs. Let them all die, it will put me a bit more at ease.
