Our Disingenuous Enemies

As suspected, the Christianist money mills are having a cow over the passage of ENDA. Here's an example of the crap being put out by Family Research Council:

Not A Civil Right

A new pamphlet from FRC clarifies certain misconceptions about the meaning of "discrimination" (some forms of which can't -and shouldn't- be eliminated) and of "civil rights" (distinguishing those which limit government power from those which limit the rights of others). It also explains why homosexual conduct is not comparable to other characteristics usually protected by civil rights laws ("race, color, religion, sex, or national origin"). Protection against private "discrimination" has historically been offered only for characteristics that are inborn, involuntary, immutable, innocuous, and/or in the Constitution-yet none of these describe homosexual behavior.

Hmm, funny how religious affiliation is not inborn, involuntary or immutable, and can be changed. In fact it often is - look at Barack Obama who converted as an adult. Using FRC's argument, all protections against discrimination based on religion need to go. They are such hypocrites and liars! Moreover, if they want to talk about misconceptions, how about ending the misconception that FRC and organizations like it are "Christian." They are anything but that. Pharisees, yes. Christian, no.
