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.”

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


 The Aztecs and Mayans were most certainly pagans and the Aztecs were world class demons the way they murdered thousands upon thousands for their sun god. Their pagan sun god. And you know darn well how these human sacrifices were carried out. Christianity and Judaism are diametrically opposed to human sacrifice and are called religions. Not pagan cults.

Anchoring this hunk of marble next to an area where innocents play.

Maybe this is not so funny after all. It's too sick.

Cannibalism was often a part of the ceremonies also.

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

Reality check. Thanks.

Someone should bring this to the attention of the ACLU and give them the chance to avoid hypocrisy.

I noted that also.. And I thought it to be deliberate, as opposed to merely incidental or accidental.

Just think what good things they could do with that $500,000 - like send some kids to private schools.

Probably about the same as thread the other day on how Kevin Bacon is linked to al Queda.

Except Queztalcoatl was an actual man and when he ruled, he abolished human sacrifices ---the Aztecs certainly were into human sacrifice. I don't think Queztalcoatl was evil in any way ---but many Chicanos associate him with the Aztecs, but he was a Toltec.

The greatest line/comment to bring away from this article is: PINK PORK!

We need to put that by any bill that is passed or consider by/for the Gay Agenda.

Well, that's good news, I guess, but still the question remains: In the midst of a $38 billion deficit, why on earth would the Legislature want to spend $500,000 on a memorial like this?

We know of conservatives and moderates who live in a state of denial whenever any bill is passed in California for so called gay rights.

Whenever any such bill is passed at least two things happen:

1. The non gay population loses some rights.

2. There is money associated with that bill. Now I can label it as Pink Pork!

The reason democrats always like to spend taxpayer money ---for the votes. This statue will appeal to the Mexican voters, the gay voters, and all other liberals. It's even for the children!
