Whose children will be allowed to participate in the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll on April 17? Not the sons and daughters of gay parents, if the Christian right gets its way.
In November, when the Family Pride Coalition, a D.C.-based gay rights advocacy group, invited its members to participate in one of the “great traditions of our country” the religious right sprang into action. The Institute on Religion and Democracy, a religious think tank, accused the Family Pride Coalition of trying to “exploit a children’s event for political purposes.” Even the White House has weighed in.

The Christian right blogosphere is afire, condemning the presence of gay parents on the White House lawn as “nearly terrorist threats from the homo lobby.” One post suggests that “White House psychologists” should be deployed to help the children of gay parents and implies that they are molested in their homes. Another wishes the gays “good luck,” reminding readers that “the Secret Service carries automatic weapons.”
Such posts are, of course, “those of the individual posters” to http://www.FreeRepublic.com, “and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of … its operators.” The site claims 200,000 registered members, known as “Freepers,” and a daily readership of “tens of thousands.” Free Republic, founded in 1996, has been embraced by right-wing social conservatives as the online water cooler for “patriots” who are “biased toward God, country, family, liberty and freedom.”
Or at least liberty and freedom for some. “These lowlife scum should just be mowed down like terrorists,” writes one good Christian.

"The first is not an ideal situation. The second is child abuse."
You definitely got that right.
"And I will agree that having homosexuals adopt children is NOT the ideal situation."
My sister-in-law used to work for the "Big Brother" program. One of the primary things they had to watch for was homosexuals. It's a pretty liberal organization and that was the first thing they try to determine. They (liberals) know it's not safe for children. In the case of Big Brother, there are mothers who will sue the pants off them if some guy molests their kid. Big Brother acknowledges this as a risk they are not willing to take.
However, if the child is an orphan, who's gonna sue? The danger is no less but gay adoption is allowed.
Good call.

I am starting to feel like these lowlife scum should just be mowed down like terrorists. In a sense they are....cultural terrrorists, who won't rest until they contaminate and corrupt everything sacred to us.
Does anyone else see the liberal bias involved in twisting and misquoting someone's word to make the wrong point.
You can't trust anything that a sodomite writes in regard to sodomite issues
Probably includes 75,000 DU sleeper trolls and quote-generating journalists.
Seriously, though, most of what is said here is spleen-venting, tounge-in-cheek kind of stuff. I'm sure the DUmmies are much the same way. That's what these forums are. Quoting us is sometimes like printing soldier gripes as the pulse of the army...
I think Sherman felt the same:
"I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors
and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. If I
killed them all there would be news from Hell before breakfast."
William Tecumseh Sherman
Puke.
"I also think that some of our more "rhetorically colorful" anti-Gay posters would be absolutely, positively stunned to find out how many Gays are Conservative, and disapprove of the left wing Gay agenda."
My guess is 4. What's the pot up to? /sarc
The "gay conservative" is somewhat like the "moderate Muslim" to me. I'm sure they exist but they are so quiet and their numbers are so small it's understandable that their existence is questionable.
No one ever said they should be mowed down. She said she FELT like they should be mowed down. How can you argue against how someone feels? It would be different if she was proposing that solution, or even presenting that option but she was just stating how she feels.
I feel that child molestors should all be castrated and dragged behind SUVs until they are dead. It's just the way I feel. I also feel that the entire mideast with the exception of Israel should be neutron bombed. Again, It's just how I feel.
Indeed. And it's sick no matter who does it. I was appalled when the mother of the 9 year old daughter of nutty anti-"under God" crusader Michael Newdow, hauled the 9 year old girl onto one of the network morning talk shows to denounce her father. Up until then, I'd assumed that the poor little girl only had one sicko parent, but that stunt made it painfully clear that she had two.
Of course if they didn't try to turn an Easter egg hunt into a political rally, how would anyone know they're gay? Using children this way reminds me of the cute little Palestinian suicide bombers at the Pali children's events. It's not about the kids.
So much for homosexuality being a privacy issue. Now they demand you let your tots get an eyeful of homo relationships at the WH Easter egg hunt. That should make for some interesting conversation on the way home. How sad that it has come to this. It was never about privacy as they have had that for a long time. It is about forcing change on those with moral values. Now you've got to talk about homosexuality with your two-year-olds.
Post these statistics. The last ones I saw had the incidence of same sex molestation at about 35%. which when you consider that sodomites make up around 2-3% of the population gives a far greater likelihood that any one sodomite is a molestor than any one normal hetrosexual person. (I was going to saw normal but no molestor is normal)
I see your point but feel using words like that inflame a situation when feelings can be stated in a more appropriate manner.
