Budget “Pink Pork” for Religious AIDS Memorial Draws Lawsuit Threat

Despite its $38 billion deficit, the State of California is considering co-funding a $500,000 “gay” AIDS memorial, a representation of the pagan god Quetzalcoatal. The high-priced religious monument, know officially as “The Wall Las Memorias,” is slated to be erected in a children’s park in a heavily Hispanic and low-income section of Los Angeles.

The project is part of the current budget being debated in the capitol, but residents near the affected park want the project cancelled. They claim the city of Los Angeles planned and approved the monument in secret meetings (in violation of state open meetings law) in order to prevent local residents from opposing their plans. They also accuse state legislators of being unwilling to buck the powerful “gay” lobby on an item that is widely recognized as so-called “pink pork,” (i.e. public funding for special-interest “gay” projects).

Outraged at being marginalized, opponents of the memorial have now threatened to sue the State of California and the City of Los Angeles if state legislators approve funding for it.

On their behalf, litigation counsel Richard Ackerman of the Sacramento-based Pro-Family Law Center has drafted a letter outlining the government’s legal liability if it endorses or participates in the creation of a religious monument. The letter, a copy of which was hand-delivered to legislators’ offices on Thursday morning, promises immediate litigation in federal court if the budget is approved and signed with the AIDS memorial line item intact.

“This is just plain corrupt,” said PFLC President Scott Lively. “I think most Californians could think of much better uses for that money than building a monument to dead victims of voluntary ‘gay’ sex and IV drug use. To make matters worse, the monument is religious in nature, honoring a pagan god once worshipped with human sacrifice. The same crowd that wants this religious monument also wants to remove “under God” from our Pledge of Allegiance. The hypocrisy is galling, but fortunately the law is on our side.”

What does Quetzalcoatal have to do with homosexuality and AIDS?

Wow. Bet my friends of Aztec descent would be quite interested to know that their ancestors are now considered pagans.

"Pink Pork" - Don't you just love it? By the way, Scott Lively is co-author of the book "Pink Swastika" about the homosexual connection to the Nazi's.

It seems to me that state-sponsored monuments to a pagan god would violate the First Amendment establishment clause.

It's obvious that the guy was into leather and S&M. /pink pork mode

Thanks for the graphic. (For some sick reason I am getting the biggest kick out of all these posts.) What's wrong with me?! I think this is sooooo funny. Imagine this. We live in a State with a $38 billion deficit and our governor, "Gay" Davis, is being recalled, and the Legislature is actually debating stuff like this. It's so ridiculous, you have to laugh.

See what I mean? Now THAT'S funny, isn't it? LOL!!!!!!!

[FITZ]

It's not really so funny when you realize this is for the Mexican votes ---and will likely work for the democrats.
