AFA blog: ‘Homosexual agenda or the Constitution: take your pick because you can’t have both’

The American Family Association, run by the elderly Don Wildmon and heir to the bigotry throne Tim, has moved into 21st century gay-bashing, with its blog Focal Point. It’s a poorly designed attempt to pull in some younger anti-gay sheep to fleece, but it still turns out drivel that is completely batsh*t.

Look at this column by Bryan Fischer, “Homosexual agenda or the Constitution: take your pick because you can’t have both.” That headline is all you need to know to watch dead ahead for a break with reality based thinking.

The homosexual agenda represents a clear and present danger to virtually every fundamental right given to us by our Creator and enshrined for us in our Constitution.

Start with freedom of religion and freedom of speech, the first two of our inalienable rights secured for us in the Bill of Rights.

As a culture, we must choose between the homosexual agenda or the Constitution because we can’t have both.

Further proof comes from the abjectly pathetic decision of the chaplains’ office at Andrews Air Force Base to rescind a long-standing invitation to Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council. Perkins had been invited to give a non-political talk at a prayer luncheon on the base yesterday, but was abruptly dis-invited for one simple reason: he supports the current law which makes homosexuals ineligible for service in the United States military.

Does anyone here feel like a clear and present danger as you step out to by a gallon of milk? Are people around sensing the carnage you represent to their rights? Apparently Fischer has some sort of insight on how everything is going to go to hell in a handbasket when DADT is repealed. The melodramatic presentation and imagery here are so over the top, I’d like to see this essay faxed to Sen. John McCain, who is still clinging desperately to his belief that DADT is working. Is it at all embarrassing to be on the side of extremists Elaine “flow chart” Donnelly and Fischer? Christianity in the military is under attack.

The days of Dred Scott have returned. Christians now are the ones are being confined on the plantation, and warned about being too uppity.

The only ones who will feel “included” here are those who support sexual deviancy in the military. The rest of you Neanderthals, well, that’s just too bad. This is the new military, regardless of what the law says, so get used to it.

McCarthyism has now struck the U.S. military with a vengeance. The question now that the military is asking is this: “Are you now, or have you ever been, a supporter of traditional morality?” If the answer is yes, you go on our blacklist, and we deprive you of your freedom of religion, speech and military service.

The implications for national security, especially for recruitment and retention, are sobering.

As gays come roaring out of the military’s closet with fangs bared

, they will be sending heterosexuals to the brig if they won’t keep their opinions to themselves. Who wants to serve in a military like that?

That’s a lot of stupid, cruel, and obsessive all in one place.

Comment #1: libdevil  on  03/01  at  09:18 PM

Wow!  I didn’t know that gays had fangs!

I love how these right wing cretins use language.  When gays object to being discriminated against, they have an “agenda.”  And what about gays who consider themselves to be Christians?

Comment #2: Tommykey  on  03/01  at  09:22 PM

Just what is this agenda anyways? Changing the National Anthem to It’s Raining Men? (i wish). B/D classes at school? Republican men forced to have the ghey sex they’re always banging on about? :D

Comment #3: pitbullgirl65  on  03/01  at  09:32 PM

Wow.  Hysterical much?

Comment #4: BadKitty  on  03/01  at  09:46 PM

Republican men forced to have the ghey sex they’re always banging on about? :D

I see what you did there…

Comment #5: Scott  on  03/01  at  10:03 PM

Cornering the hysterical market is lucrative.

Comment #6: Eric_RoM  on  03/01  at  10:10 PM

Whoa, pitbullgirl65 is right. It makes so much sense. They think if the gays win, they’ll all be forced to have gay sex… which they want! But they can’t admit it to themselves, so they unconsciously sabotage their political allies by making idiotic arguments.

It’s like 5th-dimensional chess, only with more sex at the end. I like it.

Comment #7: Cavity Lee  on  03/01  at  10:11 PM

Interesting that Fischer claims marriage equality (and the repeal of DADT) will have a negative impact on the freedoms of religion and speech, but he never describes precisely how the recognition of someone else’s civil rights will affect his own.

And that comment about Dred Scott - yikes. Fischer is clearly a long-time fan of arguments from hyperbole.

Comment #8: Nil  on  03/01  at  10:14 PM

Dred Scott? Really? How in the HELL could they possibly link Dred Scott to the repeal of DADT? I mean, its like they were just throwing darts at a dartboard covered with Supreme Court decisions, and happened to land on that one.

Scene: the AFA offices

Bryan F- “Ah! Got one. Lemme see… Dred Scott. Hey- any of you heard of Dred Scott before?”

Passerby- “Uh, yeah. Wasn’t that one about…denying somebody something? Like, maybe a slave or something?”

Bryan F- “Oh, yeah! That was the one about segregation- separate but equal! Slaves had to be separate, because they weren’t equal! That’s EXACTLY what repealing DADT will do. It will make white, het Christians unequal slaves! My white, male, totally het Christian God must have guided my dart to this very name! praise Jesus!”

Passerby- “Woah! That’s deep. I love you man- in a totally het, Christian-side-hug kinda way, of course.”

Comment #9: Neko Onna  on  03/01  at  10:23 PM

As gays come roaring out of the military’s closet with fangs bared,

Ok, let’s be practical here.  If gays are basically orcs, as this sentence suggests, why the fuck wouldn’t we want them on the frontlines?  The psychic dimension of warfare makes this a no-brainer.

Comment #10: Byronic Commando  on  03/01  at  10:27 PM

FANGS? Seriously, FANGS?

Comment #11: ginmar  on  03/01  at  10:33 PM

Interesting that Fischer claims marriage equality (and the repeal of DADT) will have a negative impact on the freedoms of religion and speech, but he never describes precisely how the recognition of someone else’s civil rights will affect his own.

Some of them do. In particularly, they repeat the lies that Catholic Charities of Massachusetts was forced to close its adoption agency, and that a Methodist Church in New Jersey was forced to allow a lesbian wedding on their private premises.

Comment #12: MAJeff, the God of Biscuits  on  03/01  at  10:35 PM

Perkins had been invited to give a non-political talk at a prayer luncheon on the base yesterday, but was abruptly dis-invited for one simple reason: he supports the current law which makes homosexuals ineligible for service in the United States military.

Wow.  Apparantly the dipshit that wrote this tripe isn’t aware of the fact that homosexuals aren’t currently ineligible for military service.  This is a key framing issue for them - to spread the myth that removing DADT will result in a massive wave of LGBT citizens infiltrating the military, as if there aren’t any LGBT people currently serving in the military.

Everytime I hear the wingnut claim that if DADT is repealed, straight males will have to deal with showering and sharing barracks with gay males, I just chuckle and say, “you do realize straight males are already showering with gay males in the military, don’t you?”

Comment #13: DTG in STL  on  03/01  at  10:36 PM

Possibly someone overheard a drag queen colloquy referring to “Miss Thang”, and thought it was “Miss Fang”?

Comment #14: Hob  on  03/01  at  10:40 PM

DTG:

Everytime I hear the wingnut claim that if DADT is repealed, straight males will have to deal with showering and sharing barracks with gay males, I just chuckle and say, “you do realize straight males are already showering with gay males in the military, don’t you?”

Remember, these are the same geniuses whose argument against HCR is “I don’t want to pay for someone else’s health care,” not realizing even for an instant that paying for other people’s health care is exactly what we’ve been doing all along. Because that’s how insurance works.

We’re not dealing with the best and brightest members of society, here.

Comment #15: Dan, Grand High Emperor of Bananas Foster  on  03/01  at  10:46 PM

I love how straight people are the ones whose rights are being taken away and who can’t do basic citizen stuff like, I dunno, get married or serve in the military in this person’s mind.  Oh, and how gays are apparently vampires.  I think they sleep in coffins, not closets, though, so shouldn’t we revise that?  Or maybe we’re just boogeymen/women (although who cares about lesbians anyway, amirite?)

Comment #16: Meghan Elaine  on  03/02  at  12:21 AM

Bryan F- “Oh, yeah! That was the one about segregation- separate but equal! Slaves had to be separate, because they weren’t equal! That’s EXACTLY what repealing DADT will do. It will make white, het Christians unequal slaves! My white, male, totally het Christian God must have guided my dart to this very name! praise Jesus!”

That was Plessy vs. Ferguson.  What Dred Scott did was a define slaves as non-citizens even in states where slavery was already banned.  Though to be honest, that doesn’t surprise me they could also confuse that.

Everybody has already pointed out all the fun things though, I feel they’re starting to make their arguments too easy.  I find the whole “they’re taking away my religious rights!” argument hilarious.  Nobody is banned from practicing their religion as they see fit, but we’re not going to create state-supported bigotry because your religion is bigoted.  The irony to this is that they just want to use this argument to draw in donations so they can continue to live their debauched lifestyle.  If only the masses knew…

Comment #17: Xeranar  on  03/02  at  01:15 AM

GOD HATES FANGS

(Doesn’t anyone else watch True Blood?)

Comment #18: bad Jim  on  03/02  at  01:30 AM

#2, #11

Yeah, we’re totally like dick-vampires. Although I have to say, I prefer to live on other foods.

Comment #19: Soren  on  03/02  at  01:48 AM

#18: Nice!

Fisher mentions McCarthyism, I thought that was a good thing to conservatives?  They can’t have it both ways, either it was a brave act to expose Communists in society or something bad to equate the right-wing persecution complex meme of the day to.

Comment #20: Albert Cirrus  on  03/02  at  02:00 AM

Ummm, I grew up on/near a military base; there already IS sexual deviancy! & I’m not talking about teh gheys…

Also, when you get “blacklisted” as a hater no one says you can’t serve in the military; it just means you are being called out on your ASS HATTERY.

Coherent arguments: like science, they’re for everyone!

Comment #21: thatsnotironic  on  03/02  at  02:20 AM

I can never get over the fact that all the bizarre alternate universes born from the paranoid rantings of these idiots… sound kinda cool? The gays are taking over and women are dominating men with their toothy pussies and no more patriarchal religions and Darwin as a national hero and I guess our soldiers have fangs now… yes please? :D

Comment #22: Bagelsan  on  03/02  at  02:44 AM

Yeah, we’re totally like dick-vampires.

So if you suck dick, you’re a vampire? 

Wait a minute - I eat pussy.  Does that make me a werewolf?

Comment #23: Phoenician in a time of Romans  on  03/02  at  05:27 AM

I think they heard someone described as “fierce” and REALLY misunderstood.

Comment #24: mtbv1  on  03/02  at  06:28 AM

Man, they live in abject terror that someday when they are least expecting it, karma is going to get even. You see it in all of these bigot groups, the racists, the misogynists, the homophobes. They live in utter terror that if they stop beating on the minority groups that one day when they’re not looking, the minority groups will turn around and do everything they did but now to them.

They just can’t accept it that people who grow up as minorities are just usually grateful for rights when they win them and don’t really go for the whole reversing it thing because unlike their enemies minorities are telling the truth about what they want.

But yeah, the paranoid fear rejects all reality as they fear all their hateful shit coming back onto them. McCarthy, beatings, firings? These are the things they’ve been proudly backing against homosexuals for years, but now that it looks like gays are going to get minimal civil rights and slightly closer to equality, now they fear equal payback.

Makes me almost wish for them to end up getting a taste just once of their own bullshit. They always support the most hideous policies, always fight like hell against the smallest progresses, and rely on their opponents to be better people, to be truthful and honest, to be good at heart and forgiving of spirit and yet they treat us the same as if we were burning down their churches and firing anyone with a cross around their neck.

Comment #25: Cerberus  on  03/02  at  06:33 AM

Fangs aren’t always a bad look.

But seriously. You’d think my dentist would have mentioned…

And PiaToR, you made me sporfle. You need to check out Tom Smith’s song, “I had a shoggoth.”
“I had a werewolf, he pleased me. Devoured every cat he’d see.”

Comment #26: Angelia Sparrow  on  03/02  at  07:32 AM

They never explain how this will affect them, because they know any thinking person won’t support what they want. 

They want freedom of speech and religion- the freedom to marginalize gays using their religion as the mallet, and their mean and insulting words every single time they want to insult someone. They’d like the freedom to stone queeeahs like it says in the bible, because that sounds really cool, and their god-given stoning rights have been taken away by the liberuhls.

Basically, they want the right to use their religion to marginalize people, and by our insisting that homosexuals are completely human and equal to every other human, we are infringing on their freedom of speech and religion.  But- we aren’t supposed to say in so many words that what they want is the right to be prejudiced and use religion to justify that.  We are supposed to pretend it comes from the other direction, and that god told them that. Yet somehow, if we were to say the sky fairy doesn’t exist and we aren’t playing that game, it isn’t them infringing on us, but us infringing on them yet again.  LOL- just like with toddlers, it’s always about them.

Comment #27: drachonfire  on  03/02  at  10:19 AM

So, let me get this straight.  We all have a constitutional right to Tony Perkins giving a “non-political speech” (lulz!  He’s just trying to offer us this really sweet deal on a bridge in England).  But that right was taken away when an army chaplain (truly, the scourge of the First Amendment, those army chaplains!) rescinded his invitation.

I feel like I’m reading a GBCW letter.  “The gays won’t let us get invited to parties anymore, just because we crap in the punch bowl for Jesus.  So either they go or I go!  You can’t have it both ways.  I have a constitutional right to people’s attention.  LOOK AT ME-E-E-E!”

Comment #28: Zifnab  on  03/02  at  11:40 AM

As usual, the simplest answer is “projection”:  THEY have an underhanded agenda to deny the rights of other people and force their lifestyle on others.

Comment #29: Dr. Psycho  on  03/02  at  12:25 PM

**flies out of a closet, hissing like a vampire**

Comment #30: leedevious  on  03/02  at  12:46 PM

Y’know, this is actually very appropriate timing.  Last night me and my housemates were hanging out in the living room, and a freaking bat swooped out of the kitchen and starting freaking out, flapping all over the place. 

If we repeal DADT, the gays are gonna start breaking into your house and running all over the place freaking out.  Then you’ll having to catch them in a blanket and throw them out the window.  You don’t want that, do you?

Comment #31: leedevious  on  03/02  at  12:53 PM

Am I the only one who thinks fangs and blowjobs are a bad combination?

Comment #32: Meghan  on  03/02  at  02:03 PM

Not much for the Prince Albert, Meghan?

Comment #33: Zifnab  on  03/02  at  02:07 PM

There’s got to be a more sanitary way to do them.

Comment #34: Meghan  on  03/02  at  02:25 PM

It would seem to me that that statement is backwards, if you want the Constitution, you must have the homosexual agenda, if you really Believe in the Consititution.  But there, of course, is the issue.

Comment #35: helen w. h.  on  03/02  at  03:26 PM

Once again, Helen, the key to understanding is *projection*: THEY hate the Constitution, with its crazy liberal notions of us all being equal and all having rights and things, so they say we do.

Comment #36: Dr. Psycho  on  03/02  at  03:47 PM

holy lol, that gif.

Comment #37: Dan  on  03/02  at  04:14 PM

What about gay vampire romance, Meghan? A BJ with fangs can be VERY sexy if written right.

(I cannot recommend that anthology, however. It was a humbling thing to realize there is only one good story in the book, and it wasn’t mine.)

Comment #38: Angelia Sparrow  on  03/02  at  04:33 PM

I swear to God, hearing the Christers pretend to be an oppressed and persecuted minority makes me laugh out loud every time.

Comment #39: Heaventree  on  03/02  at  06:11 PM

That was Plessy vs. Ferguson.

Um, yeah. That was kinda the point. Bryan F obviously had no clue what Dred Scott was about.

Comment #40: Neko Onna  on  03/02  at  08:49 PM

“Nobody is banned from practicing their religion as they see fit, but we’re not going to create state-supported bigotry because your religion is bigoted. “

But one of the tenets of my religion is that the state must enforce my bigotry, because otherwise I’ll be really, really uncomfortable.

Comment #41: paul  on  03/02  at  10:03 PM

I swear to God, hearing the Christers pretend to be an oppressed and persecuted minority makes me laugh out loud every time.

See, you’re laughing. That’s the oppression they face. People sometimes laugh at them.

Comment #42: MAJeff, the God of Biscuits  on  03/03  at  09:53 AM

Especially when they’re hypocrites, MAJeff:

Early Wednesday morning, State Sen. Roy Ashburn (R-Calif.) was pulled over and arrested for drunk driving. Sources report that Ashburn—a fierce opponent of gay rights—was driving drunk after leaving a gay nightclub; when the officer stopped the state-issued vehicle, there was an unidentified man in the passenger seat of the car.

Ashburn has issued an apology for the incident:

  “I am deeply sorry for my actions and offer no excuse for my poor judgment. I accept complete responsibility for my conduct and am prepared to accept the consequences for what I did. I am also truly sorry for the impact this incident will have on those who support and trust me - my family, my constituents, my friends, and my colleagues in the Senate.”

Roy Ashburn Arrested
