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 childrens 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 governments 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.

The homosexual movement seems to be systematically taking over symbols. Hawaii had used rainbows as a symbol (because of the rain, you can see a rainbow almost every day), but seems to be giving it up because the homos use it. Further, the University of Hawaii hired consultants to come up with a new logo. No more would they be the Rainbow Warriors. I seem to recall them paying $80,000 to a mainland firm for junk logos.

What does Quetzalcoatal have to do with homosexuality and AIDS? Not a damn thing. It's called a "twofer", meaning that they can kiss two asses at the same time. This could backfire on them; I'd like to hear what the macho, heterosexual, Catholic, Hispanic male population thinks about having Quetzalcoatal hijacked for the gay agenda????
If I said what I'd like to say about our state legislature, never mind the rest of the circus, Admin mod would pull the post and ban me.

Why isn't the ACLU all over this? Is it because this memorial honors their god?
To: Savage Beast
What does Quetzalcoatal have to do with homosexuality and AIDS?Actually, according to Aztec legend, he was a white-skinned god who sailed away to the East with a promise to return one day and end the practice of human sacrifice. Then several centuries later, in a boat that sailed from the East, along came this white-skinned personage riding upon a strange animal and shooting fire from a rod that he carried, who proclaimed an end to human sacrifice . . . his name was Hernando Cortes.
I'll let them build a monument to Quetzalcoatal if I can build a monument right next to it for Cortez.

"I don't think Queztalcoatl was evil in any way . . . " I don't either. He was a builder with a world-wide passport with many different names and reportedly migrated to the Americas to resume the mining of gold after the great flood made it impossible to extract in Africa . . . and tin for bronze.
---but many Chicanos associate him with the Aztecs, but he was a Toltec.

You don't have to say it, S.O. (although it would probably do you a lot of good). Everyone gets the message, and I certainly agree with you.

It said: "HIVisionaries!" and showed two Hispanic men KISSING. Sorry, but isn't that an insult to the majority of the Hispanic, Catholic population? I saw that billboard. It's gross! Those men need a shower and a shave, badly.
It's a discusting (sp) billboard, and insulting to more than the hispanic catholics.

I just want to know what to do. I'm stuck in this state for 10 years (per custody order), my kids are getting a rotten education, there won't be any jobs by the time I get out of college, the quality of life sucks, everyone is getting taxed to the point of usury. Recalls and tax revolts are all good, but when is this misery going to end?

Despite the title of this article, the details here and some of the comments in the thread are further evidence of the Left's affection for killing off large numbers of human beings.
They, the Left and its useful idiots, scream bloody murder about any symbol funded with public money and/or placed on public property that is related in any way to Christianity -- a religion that demands of its followers to protect innocent human life in His name.
Now this same Left is looking to erect a symbol of bloody human sacrifice of a -- hopefully -- long dead religion, and they have the gall to demand no "hateful" criticism over it.
How much more evidence must be provided of the absolutely sick and blood-thirsty nature of the Left and its envirowacko intelligentsia?
Oh well. Move on. Nothing new to see here.
