...there is a real, unbroken line between the jihadist savagery in Mumbai and the hedonistic, irresponsible, blindly selfish goals and tactics of our homegrown sexual jihadists.
-- Pat Boone, December 6, 2008
Wait. Hold on.
Ok, I'm used to some pretty outrageous claims, especially from the
Groups of concerned citizens who have created entirely peaceful demonstrations against a law they consider unjust, and have tried to lobby--mostly ineffectually--their democratically elected representatives are equivalent to people who indiscriminately kill men, women, and children.
And I realize the vast, vast majority of Americans, both liberal and conservative, do not believe the agents of intolerance like Pat Boone, but the fact that he has somehow become a political force (campaigning heavily for John McCain), and does have ardent followers means that there are more than a few people out there who are so terrified of two men or women making love, that in their mind it is the equivalent to butchering children. And these people believe they are morally correct! That's the worst part! You know at least the racists and drug dealers and other lowlifes generally know that what they do is probably not right--they embrace it, but they know. These assholes believe their view is the morally correct one, one that every citizen should embrace, and generally one that is not just moral, but righteous.
40 more days of this shit and these people and their leaders are out of office.
