UNTIL they form Xtian death squads ??
WHAT ABOUT TOLERATING SUCH IN THEIR MIDST? AT THEIR RELIGIOUS CONVOS,
AT THE MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES? OR FUNDING THEM THROUGH SLUSH FUNDS
BACK DOOR BY CONTRIBUTORS?
WHAT do you think the Violent Anti-Abortionists like Randall Terry,
Neil Horsley and Joseph Foreman are all about?
They are merely in a scaled down version of the same crap that Bin
Laden and Ilk claim can be "justified" by their religious beliefs.
SAME TACTICS EVEN. INCITE OTHERS TO DO THE DEEDS TO THE POINT OF
FUNDING THEM and then DENY THEY HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT DIRECTLY.
IT IS THAT......which any responsible Christian Leader should oppose
but do you ever hear from D.James Kennedy. DD, LLB, Ph.D. or DOBSON?
Pat "I have $500 Million" Robertson or Jerry Tinky Winkie and I have
made up" Falwell STAND UP AND SAY THAT WOMEN WHO CHOSE TO HAVE AN
ABORTION LEGALLY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS AS US
CITIZENS?
INSTEAD...LIKE THE WHITED SEPULCHRES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, THEY LOOK
THE OTHER WAY WHILE HOLDING THE COATS OF THOSE WHO ARE DOING THE
MODERN DAY STONING.
Idiot Horsley posts names and home addresses of the Abortion Clinic
Doctors and then pretends he is not responsible for anything
that "happens to the murderers of the unborn".
Behind the scenes, the whole of the Religious Far Right DOES NOTHING
but mumble about the sin of abortion.
It is MERELY ANOTHER FORM OF 'INCITING TO ACTION'. And I see no
reason that all of them should not be held accountable EXCEPT one day
they will stand for the ONE they have the NERVE TO CLAIM THEY "speak
for" and answer to HIM.
As a great example of such HYPOCRISY you have Gary Duct Tape who
mumbles in print about "abortionists and women who have abortions
should be STONED" then when some TOOL OF THEIRS ACTUALLY GOES OUT AND
KILLS A DOCTOR, GARY writes a 'letter to the Convicted MURDERER" and
tells him that HIS bible doesn't condone murder.

God Gave U.S. 'What We Deserve,' Falwell Says
By John F. Harris
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday,
September 14,
2001; Page C03
Television evangelists Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, two of the
most
prominent voices of the religious right, said liberal civil liberties
groups,
feminists, homosexuals and abortion rights supporters bear partial
responsibility for Tuesday's terrorist attacks because their actions
have turned
God's anger against America.
"God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of
America to give
us probably what we deserve," said Falwell, appearing yesterday on
the Christian
Broadcasting Network's "700 Club," hosted by Robertson.
"Jerry, that's my feeling," Robertson responded. "I think we've
just seen the
antechamber to terror. We haven't even begun to see what they can do
to the
major population."
Falwell said the American Civil Liberties Union has "got to take a
lot of
blame for this," again winning Robertson's agreement: "Well, yes."
Then Falwell broadened his blast to include the federal courts and
others who
he said were "throwing God out of the public square." He added: "The
abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will
not be
mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we
make God mad.
I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the
feminists, and
the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an
alternative
lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way -- all of them who
have tried
to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and
say, 'You helped
this happen.' "
People for the American Way transcribed the broadcast and
denounced the
comments as running directly counter to President Bush's call for
national
unity. Ralph G. Neas, the liberal group's president, called the
remarks
"absolutely inappropriate and irresponsible."
Robertson and others on the religious right gave critical backing
to Bush
last year when he was battling for the GOP presidential nomination. A
White
House official called the remarks "inappropriate" and added, "The
president does
not share those views."
Falwell was unrepentant, saying in an interview that he
was "making a
theological statement, not a legal statement."
"I put all the blame legally and morally on the actions of the
terrorist," he
said. But he said America's "secular and anti-Christian environment
left us open
to our Lord's [decision] not to protect. When a nation deserts God
and expels
God from the culture . . . the result is not good."
Robertson was not available for comment, a spokeswoman said. But
she released
a statement echoing the remarks he made on his show. An ACLU
spokeswoman said
the group "will not dignify the Falwell-Robertson remarks with a
comment."
Wizard of Whimsy
The American Taliban: The Cancer On The Soul Of Our Country
by William Rivers Pitt
8/14/01
"What is objectionable, what is dangerous, about extremists is not
that they
are extreme, but that they are intolerant. The evil is not what they
say about
their cause, but what they say about their opponents."
- Robert Kennedy
Amidst the dust and ruin, amidst the pain and woe, amidst the
remarkable
unity that is being demonstrated by Americans everywhere, there lurks
a vein of
hatred and evil that is nearly beyond description. Some Americans
today are
leveling fingers of blame towards homosexuals, towards liberals,
towards the
ACLU, towards those who protect and defend a woman's legal right to
reproductive
freedom. That anyone would seek to smear fellow American citizens
with blame for
the atrocities that have been visited upon us is wretched enough to
make any
decent human being physically ill. That those who do this are
denouncing our
fellow citizens in the name of God is the definition of evil, and is
the same
kind of hate that drove those airplanes like a dagger into the heart
of our
nation. I am ashamed to be an American today because of Jerry Falwell
and Pat
Robertson.
This is what Mr. Falwell had to say on Robertson's nationally
broadcast
television show, 'The 700 Club':
"The ACLU's got to take a lot of blame for this...throwing God out
successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God
out of the
public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear
some burden
for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40
million little
innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans
and the
abortionists and the feminists and the gays and the lesbians who are
actively
trying to make that an alternative lifestyle...all of them who have
tried to
secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say, 'You
helped this
happen.'"
There were more Americans killed on Tuesday than in the attacks on
Pear
Harbor and the invasions on D Day and Iwo Jima combined, if the
estimates prove
to be true. There were more Americans killed on Tuesday than in a
year's worth
of fighting during the Vietnam War. America has taken a mighty blow,
yet we
still stand strong. We are pulling together as best we can. So much
greatness
has been demonstrated by our firefighters, police, medical
professionals, rescue
workers and ordinary citizens who queue up to give blood, because it
is the best
thing they can do. Yet, here is a religious bigot who has the
unmitigated gall
to lay blame upon some of our citizens because he does not agree with
the way
they live. He does this in the name of his vicious, hateful, bloody
God. His God
is not my God. His America is not my America.
Mr. Falwell should take that finger of blame and turn it towards
his own
miserable face. Religious and cultural zealotry and intolerance - on
both sides
- lies at the root of this disaster. No worse fate could ever befall
America
than to have it to come under the sway of demagogues like Jerry
Falwell.
Gay? To the wall.
Pro-choice? To the wall.
ACLU, defender of the Constitution? To the wall.
Not Christian? To the rack, and then the wall.
Support any of the above, or believe those citizens who support
the above
have the right to do so? To the wall.
Jerry Falwell has done a grave injury to millions of American
citizens with
his words. The First Amendment of the Constitution allows him to do
so, allows
him to advocate the destruction of the very rights that protect his
hate and
evil. Nevertheless, he must be punished for this.
I denounce Jerry Falwell and his lapdog, Pat Robertson. I say they
are the
worst form of low and awful wretchedness that has ever drawn breath.
I say that
God would spit in their faces if She could even be bothered to pay
attention to
such nonsense.
I say, as an American, that these men do not represent the country
I love and
would die for. They are a cancer on the soul of our country, and they
should be
treated as such.
I renounce any ties and fealty to the Christian religion as of
today, until
such time as I can be sure that bastards like Falwell do not and can
not purport
to carry the Cross. As a lifelong Catholic, this is no small matter
for me. I
dissent, and my God will understand why.
I say to my homosexual brothers and sisters, to those who are not
Christian,
to those who support the legal right of reproductive choice, that I
am with you.
Jerry Falwell and his band of filth will have to get through me in
order to get
to you.
To Mr. Bush, I demand that you denounce these people as well. Once
upon a
time you gave your soul to Jesus in the presence of Falwell. I demand
that you
lay him low, in the name of national unity and love. Be a leader, Mr.
Bush. Be a
leader of all of us.
To the world, I offer a plea: ignore these villains. They are not
us. We will
deal with them the way they should be dealt with. Religious extremism
of any
sort is the most dangerous threat in the world right now. That this
breed of the
Taliban are American makes them all the more so.
Mr. Falwell, you will burn in hell for your words. God sees you,
and is not
pleased. Neither am I.
