Evangelicals to Bush: Payback Time (against gays)

http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/story?id=280881&page=1

Among some conservative Christians, there is a belief that President Bush received a "moral mandate" to win the recent presidential election — and they are calling on him to act on their agenda now.

-snip-

"Values" voters delivered for the president, and the president must now deliver for them — especially in the courts, said Gary Cass, head of a grassroots political organization affiliated with Coral Ridge, called the Center for Reclaiming America.

-snip-

Cass wants a U.S. Supreme Court that will outlaw abortion and gay marriage. "Do you want to take your children to a National League baseball game for instance and have homosexuals showing affection to one another? I don't want my kids to see that," he said.

-snip-

Dr. James Kennedy delivers sermons at Coral Ridge which are broadcast to 3 million homes. He said he knows of no timetable for God's wrath, but wants results fast.

He dismissed the concerns of people who worried about the impact of Christian conservatives on the U.S. government.

"Repent," he said with a laugh. "Repent. That's what I'd say."
-snip-
------------------------------


religiously insane or con man working the religious field Kennedy also said:

"Asked about the millions of Americans who are not Christian, or have a different interpretation of Christianity, Kennedy said with another laugh: "I couldn't care less. It's true."

1. what a freaking moran!
Cass wants a U.S. Supreme Court that will outlaw abortion and gay marriage. "Do you want to take your children to a National League baseball game for instance and have homosexuals showing affection to one another? I don't want my kids to see that," he said.

HEY CASS! If gay marriage is outlawed how does that stop "homosexuals showing affection to one another", you idiot?

3. Funny - Bush acts like *he* has political capital.
When he's in political debt up to his ears (what else is new?).

8. Why are they picking on the National League?
And giving a pass to the American League, which is clearly immoral, what with their Designated Hitter and all.
