Inspired
by Monty Python and Ed Morrissey (CONTENT WARNING), I am starting a fun new
game series, Spot the Hater!
O.
K. kids, time to play!
Your
choices are:
1.
Michael Weinstein, a
consultant to the Pentagon to develop new policies on religious tolerance or
2.
Eeeeevil Christian FUNDAMENTALISTS!
Can
you . . . Spot the Hater!
tick,
tick, tick
DING
Time’s
up!
Oh,
I forget to tell you. Michael
Weinstein said this:
Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist
Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their
weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates
in our nation’s armed forces. Oh my, my, my, how “Papa’s got a brand new bag.”
What’s Papa’s new tactic? You’re gonna just love this! These days,
when ANYone attempts to bravely stand up against virulent religious oppression,
these monstrosities cry out alligator tears in overflowing torrents and scream
that it is, in fact, THEY who are the dispossessed, bereft and oppressed.
C’mon, really, you pitiable unconstitutional carpetbaggers? It would be like
the utter folly of 1960’s-era southern bigots howling like stuck pigs in
protest that Rosa Parks’ civil rights activism is “abusing” them by destroying
and disenfranchising their rights to sit in the front seat of buses in
Montgomery, Alabama. Please, I beseech you! Let us call these ignoble actions
what they are: the senseless and cowardly squallings of human monsters.
Queasy with the bright and promising lights of the cultural
realities of the present day, those evil, fundamentalist Christian creatures
and their spiritual heirs have taken refuge behind flimsy, well-worn,
gauze-like euphemistic facades such as “family values” and “religious liberty.”
These bandits coagulate their stenchful substances in organizations such as the
American Family Association (AFA), the ultra-fundamentalist Family Research
Council (FRC), and the Chaplains Alliance for Religious Liberty (CARL). The
basis of their ruinous unity is the bane of human existence and progress:
horrific hatred and blinding bigotry. However, when the Southern Poverty Law
Center (SPLC) and others correctly characterize them as “hate groups,” they all
too predictably raise a deafening hue and disingenuously bellow mournfully like
the world class cowards they are.
More
on the lovely Mr. Weinstein here.
And, yes, all know that those nasty Christian Fundamentalist MONSTERS are the haters!
And if you answered incorrectly, you are a hater, too! And the Southern Poverty Law Center has already taken note of you!
Thanks
for playing . . . Spot the Hater!
