Barber re tweeted Ssempa’s note, and then praised Ssempa in a follow-up tweet, “Here’s a man not afraid of the international homofascist juggernaut.”

And this type of western evangelical mission, among others, actively "preaches" against the concerns and rights of women, PWA's, AIDS orphans and other marginalized segments of societies on the continent.

These tweets are an obvious extreme tip of a larger picture, imo.

Well, he might be a good person to speak up on this. cbayer Apr 2013 #13
