VODKA GIMLET WITH A TWIST
by Miles Tager
Felix – Gay WrongsOne reason I moved up from Florida to North Carolina, aside from getting away from the Cubans and high property taxes, was because of former Senator Jesse Helms.
Well, now we have Cubans and high property taxes up here, and no Senator Helms.
He won’t be forgotten, however, because of the stands he took on the important issues.
The most important of those was how he stood up on Gay Rights.
You were right, Jesse, Gay Rights are Just Plain Wrong.
Everyone knows our American Civilization is going to be done in from within, and when that happens it will be to the tune of a brass band playing while the joy boys waltz hand in hand down our streets.
Now its not like I don’t know what can happen to good people; but no, I am not going to discuss my family here.
It’s all about drawing the line, and this is where that line is going to hold fast.
Luckily here in North Carolina we have others who will follow in Jesse Helms’ footsteps and help bring back the family and decency to society.
Franklin Graham, and now his son, is taking on the mantel from his famous father Billy, and he doesn’t mince words about Muslims or homosexuals.
Both are an abomination in the eyes of God, and in the eyes of good citizens and Christians everywhere.
Gays think they can do what they do, you know, THAT, and be treated the same as everyone else?
They should consider themselves lucky to live in a place where they are allowed to live that way at all!
We have one and only one reference point for what we should and should not do, and that is the Bible and its chosen messengers like Franklin Graham.
So if a group of evangelicals choose to go off and join the Gang of Fear crying over Global Warming (come to think of it we do have Global Warming; it’s called HELL), then even though its ridiculous, at least it doesn’t go against the tenets of the Good Book.
There should be a law against so-called Christians who preach ‘tolerance’, you know the Episcopalians and Unitarians and BaHai or Below or whatever they are.
They barely even mention the Bible and spend most of their time giving money to Democrats and Global Warmers and Abortion Clinics… and mainly, to Gays.
I have friends who can argue that Jews and Catholics represent a worse threat to our world but misguided though they may be, I can respect that other faiths try to act out of religious belief, and not live solely to commit perverted and unnatural acts.
They have of course, brought destruction (God’s wrath!) on themselves and many others, including family and friends who think that because they love them they should support what they do.
They should love them, and STOP what they do!
It only takes one simple step, to renounce an evil lifestyle and embrace Jesus as your personal savior, and they could be freed from the curse of the libertine and the licentious.
It’s also about time that anyone pretending to be a Believer stop this nonsense of ‘tolerance’ and demand that Faith is not selective or optional or a switch to be turned on and off.
Why should we tolerate intolerable behavior?
Save Our Rights, Ban Gay Wrongs!
Caroline – Samaritan’s Curse of the Graham CrackerWell now I hear that the third generation of the evangelical Graham Family of Montreat, North Carolina, is coming out of the closet, ready to inherit the mantel of leadership, power, whatever.
That could go either way; his granddad Billy wasn’t a bad sort; you didn’t feel that he hated anyone and it seemed like he live and lived up to his beliefs.
So what the hell went wrong with his son Franklin?
Fear-monger, hate-monger, power-monger.
Saying that its the Moslems who are hate- and power-mad and that gays are a threat to the sanctity of marriage and the future of our country.
You know the one about your television…if you don’t like it then just turn it off?
How about this Frankie baby; if you don’t like gays, don’t marry one!
Maybe your feelings run, well, a little deeper…
Or perhaps Frankie and the rest of the I Know the Truth and You Don’t Brigade are simply the latest evidence of a little truth of its own that popped up about 4:00 a.m. as the Celexa was wearing down and the Vodka only leaving its residue on the system.
That being that The Bible Belt is a corset that binds, and cuts off oxygen to the brain.
Except that it encircles the entire country now, it seems.
It’s happened to my own, dear, Episcopalians, we of the weird belief, that, well, We is better than Us and Them.
We of the belief that just as the Bible is a Guide, one of many, so are our heads and hearts, and God help us, our common sense if we could only find it.
So here we Whiskeypalians went off and elected a new Presiding Bishop, and a progressive, but more to the point a female one as well.
That, as you would imagine, proved too much for some of our Southern brothers, and so they want to take all their hymnals and go home to their Anglican beginnings, where they can sit safely and look down on their bitter and terrible and natural (or should I say unnatural) enemies.
Gays.
What is it with you little boys, anyway, just exactly what are you so scared of?
The true Christians I know believe the message of Jesus and the Bible is love; and consequently they spend their time providing free medical care, food, and comfort to whoever, WHOEVER, needs them.
A group of evangelicals even met recently with scientists to work together to end global warming. They don’t agree on how the world was made, a spokesperson said, but they did agree that it had to be saved.
Now imagine that; sitting down with folks who think differently than you do for a common good.
You can sermonize and demonize all you want, but boys, you are not ever going to do Jesus’ bidding that way.
I know I know it’s hard to actually think for yourself; much easier to make an enemy out of someone or something (Black, Moslem, Gay) that you may have never met and don’t want to understand.
Willful Ignorance, The Sequel.
That hideous rerun can still be seen playing in Iraq, and sure enough coming round again soon to a church near you.
