Blogger friend Jeremy Hooper at Good As You does a good analysis of the sickness that afflicts the "godly folk" and in particular Victoria Cobb, president of The Family Foundation, Virginia's leading homophobic/racist "family values" organization. I truly cannot understand the mindset where one only feels good about themselves when denigrating and diminishing the rights of others. Here's Jeremy's read on Cobb:
People who oppose marriage equality are not burdened one bit by same-sex couples' marriages. But that doesn't stop Victoria Cobb, longtime head of Virginia's main anti-equality organization, to claim that yesterday's 4th Circuit ruling in favor of marriage equality constitutes "open season" against people like her . . .
The ego never ceases to amaze me. Here we have a woman who has literally spent the a large part of the last decade fighting for and in defense of a measure that does nothing more than limit the rights of certain kinds of taxpayers in her state. She knew that same-sex couples in Virignia very much wanted the right to marry under civil law, and she knew that they felt their tax dollars entitled them and their families to the same rights and protections that Victoria enjoys. Yet she chose to wake up every morning and go to work for an organization that has dedicated a lion's share of its resources toward preserving discrimination. No one made her do this. For both passion and paycheck, Victoria Cobb chose to attach her name to this form of discrimination.
And yet she is the victim? Give me a break! Or a barf bag.
For younger generations, Cobb is a prime example of why one wold not want to identify as Christian. Her entire agenda and that of TFF is about promoting hate, bigotry, and - veiled just beneath the surface, white supremacy. A decent moral person would want nothing to do with someone like Cobb and her foul organization. Yet members of the Virginia GOP folk to kiss her ring and receive her "benediction." It is sick. Very sick.
