religious right accuses democrat senators of 'prejudice' - news from ekklesia: "'President George W. Bush has not only appointed the first black man to be Secretary of State' (Colin Powell) the statement said; 'but has now had confirmed by the United States Senate the first black woman.' " My head hurts from the levels of stupidity some people exhibit. The right is now using an affirmative action argument to defend someone that has proven her inability to do this job. But we should confirm her anyways because she's a women and she's black? I'd never get away with that argument, and all the blowhards that have been attacking affirmative action for years will suddenly find something else to talk about. "President Bush should be highly commended for his appointment of minorities to Cabinet positions and other high- level positions in his Administration. In fact, no president in American history has reached out to minorities as much as has President Bush." I still think we'll see an openly gay black women in the Oval Office before we'll see an atheist as president. |

Did Roberta Combs fall on her freakin' head? How can she say with a straight face, that "President Bush should be highly commended for his appointment of minorities to Cabinet positions and other high- level positions in his Administration. In fact, no president in American history has reached out to minorities as much as has President Bush."?

The right continues to amaze me as they take perfectly clear texts (scripture) and twist it for their own purposes--civil religion. Yesterday, I heard the clip of Jim Wallis/Sojourners being interviewed on Terri Gross' NPR program, "Fresh Air". If you get a chance, you should listen as he is one of the few Xian speakers who understands the historical roots of evangelicalism and is able to articulate a progressive Xian agenda to counter the right-wing fundies like Combs and her other fascist friends. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4460055 |
