AND MOST OF IT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE RIGHT WING
A while back the right wing Teahadist-Republicans had their underwear all tied up in a knot over President Obama bowing to the Emperor of Japan. Mind you, it is diplomacy and protocol and it has gone on with other Presidents…but no, the righties had to put their two cents worth in there and criticize as they have done with everything Obama has done. I think if they could get a hold of him taking a shit they would find a way to criticize that too. Something to the extent that our President only shits out of the left side of his asshole.
But the question is why is it not acceptable to the fanatics on the right for Obama to bow and it is for Bush to hold hands and even kiss the King of Saudi Arabia? Why are we not up in arms and recalling our ambassador to that kingdom for the recent 500 lashes a man received for being a homosexual?
Why is it not the cause of great indignation that some of these countries actually execute gay people?
I will tell you why; it is because most of these right wing assholes really think that gays should be punished and to them these Muslim countries are doing to homosexuals what they wish to do to them in America: criminalize homosexuality.
So this is acceptable?
But this is not acceptable?
If you are an Evangelical-Fundamentalist Christian and you are reading this; I ask you to search deep in your conscience and in your soul and even consult the teachings of Christ. I don’t think that you will find Jesus recommending persecution, hatred and discrimination of anyone. So that what you are really seeking is validation and the ability to legally discriminate, to express your disdain, disapproval and rejection for homosexuality (homophobia)
Same goes for those Muslims, if you really think your religion has any rightful excuse to do the atrocities it does against gay people, then look into the teachings of your Prophet…I doubt you will find any hatred and discrimination either.
