CAAP

From the files of they must think we are stoopid in Sweet Home Alabama.

A group of Christian pastors will present an award named for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail Friday to Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, in recognition of his efforts to stop same-sex marriage in Alabama.

I kid you NOT.

First of all, the so called "group of Christian pastors" consist of three, count them, three African American "pastors" and the "grassroots group" is a 501(c)3 tax exempt organization based in Nevada.

We appreciate your financial support. Because we are 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, donations are tax-deductible.* If you would like to contribute to our efforts, please click here or mail your check to the address below. Thanks!

Remember the IRS "Scandal"?

The IRS has interpreted our tax laws to allow big corporations and wealthy individuals to make unlimited secret campaign donations through sham political fronts called “social welfare organizations,” like Karl Rove’s “Crossroads,” the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and “Priorites USA.”

The real story can be found in the Al.com comment section

 Note too that the "Coalition of African American Pastors" is part of the anti-gay hate group NOM's "wedge strategy" to drive a wedge between certain minority groups.   Bill Owens is literally on NOM's payroll

About "Pastor" William Owens...

Over the past few weeks major news outlets have largely failed to identify Rev. William Owens – head of the recently-formed Coalition of African-American Pastors (CAAP) – as a key player in the National Organization for Marriage’s (NOM) race-baiting strategy, treating him instead as a legitimate representative of the black faith community’s position on marriage equality.
Owens garnered national attention in July after criticizing President Obama for endorsing same-sex marriage, comparing him to Judas for allegedly betraying black voters who supported him in 2008. He also weighed in on the Chick-fil-A debate by comparing opposition to the fast food giant to racism during the Civil Rights Movement.
Since making his controversial remarks, Owens has played the role of spokesperson for the African American community on Fox News, Fox Business, and CNN, as well as in a number of major news articles.

.

Oh the irony (for lack of a better word) of African American "pastors"aiding and abetting the co-opting of Martin Luther King's Letter from the Birmingham Jail to promote bigotry and justify marriage discrimination.

One of the worst things about being a dead famous person is the general public's propensity to put words in your mouth to serve their own agendas. It happens all the time with Jesus, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and now, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

What Tee Up said all the darn way!

 The most disgusting part of this whole scam that moore and his "followers" are pulling of is that the media laps it up and gives them exactly what they want.

RedEye, stomping way from the computer to go pray for my my state, my country, and the world.

RedEye's Week in Review Hypocrisy Edition

For anyone keeping score~Fist dap jobsanger

The prize for hypocrisy in the name of Lord goes to Chik-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy, who says he respects LBGT workers and patrons in spite of the fact they are inviting the wrath of God with their lifestyle.    Translation the CEO of Chik-fil-A worships  money more than he fears God's wrath. Amen and Amen.

With Democrats like Craig Ford who needs republicans?  Craig Ford is the latest so called democrat who believes the way to the Governor's office is to pander to the right at the expense of the traditional democratic base.  He should ask his friend Artur Davis (r. turncoat VA) how that worked out for him.

Second prize for hypocrisy goes to LiA bloggers countrycat and mparus, who don't want to revoke Craig Ford's membership in the Alabama Democratic party, and are standing up for marriage equality but had no problem revoking my front page and posting privileges because I stood up for who I believed in,  and what I believed in.

I was forced to watch CNN this week because MSNBC aired the Olympics during the day, and I would rather run through hell with a pair or gasoline drawers on than watch Faux News.  Remember when CNN used to be the most trusted names in news?  Where is CNN (said in my best James Earl Jones voice)?

 In their effort not be called liberal (like that was a bad thing), they turned into Fox Wanna Be. No wonder the CNN chief is "stepping down" because the network needs new thinking.  Ya think?


Psst CNN!  Check out Newsroom on HBO, it's the kind of media we wish we had instead of the media we have.

The Rightards are licking their chops at the prospect of former Governor Don Siegelman (D.) being re sentenced for crime he shouldn't have been sentenced for in the first place,  by the same judge who sentenced him the first time.  Confused yet? 

All I'm going to say is if Siegelman is sent back to prison for being too liberal,  it will be because  democratic leadership didn't confront  the right wing Bullies.

 If democratic leadership is afraid to stand up to the right wing Bullies,  maybe we should all be afraid, and just bend over and take our Gang Banging like Girlie Men.  I'm just saying...If the Left were anything like the right....

Fist Dap-Liberal Bias

Noted scholar and world leader Evo Morales has definitively proven that eating chicken causes male homosexuality. Why? Because chickens that are raised to be eaten are artificially injected with female hormones to make them plump and tasty.  Thus, when a male eats the hormone-filled chicken, it will cause him to deviate from normal maleness and therefore TURN INTO A HOMOSEXUAL.

Bigotry in the name of the Lord & Why Boycotts Matter

Fist Dap jobsanger

It never ceases to amaze me when the right wing, Evangelical, compassionate, conservative, Christians, use religion to justify bigotry.  Those who say marriage equality is not a civil rights issue need only look at the chart of above defining "traditional marriage" for a reality check.

I could have spent the rest of my life eating Chick-fil-A, but once the owner made his views regarding marriage equality public, that was it for the waffle fries, lemon pies, lemonade and chicken strips for  me and mine.  If the owner of Chick-fil-A wants to donate money to right- wing- super PACS, he will do it without my hard earned money.

Psst! countrycat, mooncat, daddycat, and Jim Dean, ask the Southern Christian Leadership Conference,  Do Boycotts Really Matter?

Ask the Dixie Chicks do boycotts really matter.

The black youth project explains why boycotting Chick-Fil-A still matters.  It's not about the profit margin, it's about the principle.
