More Batshit Craziness from the Virginia GOP

With Christofascist Bob Marshall having pre-filed a "personhood" bill (even after the public overwhelmingly voted down such a measure in Mississippi), one would think that there's not more in the way of insanity and hatred of religious freedom for all citizens that the Republican Party of Virginia could dredge up. But you'd be wrong to fall for that conclusion. Loudoun County Board of Supervisors member Eugene Delgaudio frighteningly makes Marshall look nearly gay-friendly at times. As Blue Virginia notes, even some Republicans are belatedly getting fed up with Delgaudio's batshit craziness and obsession with all things homosexual. The man is seriously mentally disturbed in my opinion - as are those who keep voting for him - and he is so vitriolic about gays that it's probably safe to assume he's a self-loathing closet case. Here's how the Northern Virginia Republican blog Too Conservative described Delgaudio in a post captioned "Embarrassment, Thy Name is Eugene Delgaudio":

As much as I bag on other politicos for unbecoming behavior, there is no one, and I mean no one, that even remotely compares to the embarrassment brought upon us all by Eugene Delgaudio. His latest missive, full of ridiculous distortions and outright lies, proves my point.

Under Public Advocates’ letterhead, Delgaudio voices his opposition to a federal bill, HR 998, put forward by Democratic lawmakers to outlaw discrimination against homosexual students. . . . suffice it to say that Delgaudio’s hair is, once again, on fire – claiming this time that the bill would “require schools to teach appalling homosexual acts.”

Frankly, even if he were to shovel my driveway, cook my dinner and wipe my kids’ butts, no level of constituent service could justify voting for, much less openly supporting, such an individual.

The Too Conservative post then goes on to look at the actual language of the federal bill and then contrasts it with the lunacy Delgaudio is disseminating (with a request for money, of course):

SEC. 4. PROHIBITION AGAINST DISCRIMINATION; EXCEPTIONS.

(a) In General- No student shall, on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity of such individual or of a person with whom the student associates or has associated, be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance. (b) Harassment- For purposes of this Act, discrimination includes, but is not limited to, harassment of a student on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity of such student or of a person with whom the student associates or has associated. (c) Retaliation Prohibited-

(1) PROHIBITION- No person shall be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination, retaliation, or reprisal under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance based on his or her opposition to conduct made unlawful by this Act.

From that, Delgaudio get’s this:


You see, the Homosexual Classrooms Act contains a laundry list of anti-family provisions that will:

*** Require schools to teach appalling homosexual acts so “homosexual students” don’t feel “singled out” during already explicit sex-ed classes;

*** Spin impressionable students in a whirlwind of sexual confusion and misinformation, even peer pressure to “experiment” with the homosexual “lifestyle;”

*** Exempt homosexual students from punishment for propositioning, harassing, or even sexually assaulting their classmates, as part of their specially-protected right to “freedom of self-expression;”

*** Force private and even religious schools to teach a pro-homosexual curriculum and purge any reference to religion if a student claims it creates a “hostile learning environment” for homosexual students.

And that’s just the beginning of the Homosexual Lobby’s radical agenda.In fact, it will set them up to ram through their entire perverted vision for a homosexual America.

The Republican Party of Virginia truly seems to want to make Mississippi look like a wildly progressive state compared to Virginia when it embraces individuals like Bob Marshall, Ken Cuccinelli and Eugene Delgaudio. It's hard to find individuals more mentally unhinged in elected positions (Sally Kern, of course, excepted). And these clowns think they are making Virginia attractive to new and progressive businesses?
