More Gutless Christianist Attacks

This past January I took my former UVA law school classmate, Congressman Randy Forbes, to task for his shameless pandering to the lunatic Christian Right and his brief efforts to torpedo the District of Columbia's approval of a law authorizing same sex marriages which have since begun to take place. Now, albeit it belatedly, a cowardly supporter of Mr. Forbes' attempt to subvert the separation of church and state, has launched a personal attack on us and, indeed, all LGBT Americans. Did this individual disclose his identity? Of course not! He/she set up a Goggle profile and then blocked it from being viewed by the public. Therefore - as I have stated before - this coward's comments have not been published.

Sadly, it's yet another example of the homo-haters lacking the courage to stand behind their convictions. Just like what happened in Washington State and the R-71 petition signers who took their case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court only to be shot down in flames. Among the rants posted by this individual calling himself "Robert" is the demand that mob majority rule be the law of the land. I can just imagine his/her changed perspective as and when whites become a minority in the USA. I suspect that we'll see a very different song and dance when that day comes.

The other statement that shows that this commenter is a Bible thumper is his statement that "morality standards are actually put in place by God, The Head of All principalties and power." The question is, of course, whose God are we talking about. The white, minority and gay hating God of say Richard Land of the Southern Baptist Convention, or instead the God of Bishops Gene Robinson and John Shelby Spong? The verbal diarrhea goes on at some length and clearly indicates that "Robert" believes that the religious views of one group - not a very Christian acting one at that - are to be imposed upon all citizens.

If Robert now typifies Randy Forbes' supporters, I can only wonder when Randy was secreted away and had a "Stepford Wife" remake done on him. As for "Robert," if you want your comments published, grow some balls and do not hide behind anonymity.

If someone is too much of a wuss to put at least a screen name with their opinions, their opinions aren't worth bothering with.
