Kill Gays? Pastor ‘Kind Of Likes The Idea’ (by TheYoungTurks)
It’s been a busy week for hateful Christian pastors!
Hey moderates, if you don’t want me to assume you are all this hateful, you better get louder in your opposition to these guys. It might very well be just a small minority of Christians who are hateful bigots, but there seems to be an even smaller minority willing to speak out against them in any meaningful way. Your silence makes you an accessory.
Having an existing law banning gay marriage wasn’t enough for this collection of fearful, ignorant bigots. They had to pass an overkill constitutional amendment about it, including a ban on even civil unions. Is North Carolina the most bigoted state in the union?
100 Real Tweets from Homophobes Who Would Murder Their Gay Child
@Homophobes, a Twitter account that retweets homophobes to expose their ignorance, published a collection of 100 horrifying tweets where people said that they would murder their child if he or she was gay. These tweets were all posted within 24 hours.
From the Storify post:
On March 12, 2012, the hashtag #ToMyUnbornChild became a trending topic. People used this hashtag to “tweet to” their future child. Here are 100 real tweets from real people — all within 24 hours — saying they would murder their child if he or she was gay.
Fucking fuck.
I scrolled through as many of these as I could stomach and didn’t see a single woman posting this kind of horror. I also don’t think you could get past the single digits if you added all of these douchebag IQs together.
Step One: Click Link.
Step Two: Scroll down to find “Report Page” in the left hand column and click it.
Step Three: Select “Hate Group” and “gender or orientation”
Step Four: Encourage others.
Do you know what that sign means?
Do you ever get tired of the liberal equivalent of religion? I’m talking about political correctness. It’s the religion that liberals live by and they feel the right, need, and anger to scold anyone who offends their delicate senses, while attacking you like the Spanish Inquisition.
Difficult question. I used to be a lot more eye-rolling about “political correctness” than I am now.
The problem is that the term “politically correct” is in itself something of an insult, as it assumes that the only reason that one uses certain terminology is to avoid offending people who have no right to be offended.
Issues covered under political correctness are complex, and I’ve come to accept that *I* am not qualified to judge what “someone else” may call offensive. There are terms that I don’t use simply because I am told that others find them offensive. I don’t know WHY they find them offensive in every case, but, as it costs me nothing not to use the terms, I choose to respect their wishes rather than ignoring them due to ignorance.
That said, I think that political correctness might go too far in some cases. For example (and someone PLEASE correct me if I’m wrong), I’ve been told that the politically correct term “native American” is actually found more offensive to people indigenous to this continent than the term “Indian” for reasons I can no longer remember.
So no. I don’t get tired of it. I find it thought provoking.

submission from Matt:
Rep. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) addressed a crowd gathered Monday at a South Carolina Tea Party conference and resolutely concluded that “the greatest minority under assault today are Christians. No doubt about it.”
Speaking between appearances by GOP presidential candidates, including former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Scott also weighed in on the 2012 race, saying that any of the remaining hopefuls would be better than President Barack Obama.
“The only thing we really have on our minds is beating Barack Obama in 2012,” Scott said, according the Patch.com. “I don’t care if it’s Santorum or Gingrich or Romney, as long as we put someone in the White House who is currently not in the White House.”
Though Scott has yet to announce his support for a particular candidate, his comments about supposed anti-Christian sentiment in the United States would appear to put him in some agreement with Gingrich.
Campaigning in South Carolina last week, Gingrich took a shot at the media for allegedly ignoring “anti-Christian” bigotry.
“The bigotry question goes both ways, and there’s a lot more anti-Christian bigotry today than there is concerning the other side,” Gingrich said during a discussion about gay rights, “and none of it gets covered by the news media.”
Christians are a minority in the United States?
Christians are a MINORITY????
A minority? Seriously?
