"New Book Unmasks Homosexual Agenda" (Sheldon press release)
Robb's note: sort of an FYI, a press release making the rounds. I find especially ironic the bits about "pushing back the darkness of ignorance".... :eyes:

NEW BOOK UNMASKS HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA
OUTLINES CONCRETE ACTIONS FOR CHRISTIAN FAMILIES

Rev. Sheldon Offers Strategy for Restoring Moral Values in Our Communities

Washington, DC – A new book “The Agenda – The Homosexual Plan to Change America,”
released today by the book-publishing division of Charisma Magazine, details a new
national strategy to restore moral values in our schools, governments and public
square.

Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, author of the book and founder of the Traditional Values
Coalition, said today that religious conservatives have been “playing too much
defense” when it comes to restoring public moral values.

“It is not enough to list the things we as a moral people oppose – so-called
homosexual marriage, homosexual adoption, etc. Now is the time to assert what
mainstream Americans believe and speak the truth even as we are slandered and
maligned by extremists.”

Rev. Sheldon’s plan of action calls for the education and mobilization of churches
and people while, at the same time, encouraging individual intervention in a
neighbor or relative’s family where a male role model is lacking.

“The Agenda” traces the homosexual movement’s strategy and growth over the past 30
years and reveals how this group of extremist’s agenda has changed the Christian
church, the business community, public schools, the Congress and the media.

“The battle can be won, but only if we work together to push back the darkness of
ignorance, apathy and compromise,” Rev. Sheldon concludes.

“Now that we have a better understanding of what the agenda is all about, we must
continue sounding the alarm until the entire Christian community is awake and fully
engaged. We cannot rest until the battle is won, but with God’s help, we shall
prevail!”

3. Oy!
This reminds me of the KKK and the NAZIs. Bother have texts with similar content. They talk about the _______ agenda and how it's destroying society and morality.

It just boggles the mind how people keep saying the same thing while inserting different groups of people and their supporters keep eating it up without looking to the past and seeing what kind of horrors have been generated by hate filled ideas like that.

4. I just called and asked my son what the homosexual agenda for America is..
he said:

"to be left alone, treated like everyone else, and to have some legal rights with my partner."

He also said, emphatically "to not be used as a political pawn, by EITHER side of the aisle."

Look, my son just wants a chance at a decent job, to smile at his friends' jokes, have good meals when out, drink the best dirty martinis you can find, and never ever run out of free minutes on the cell phone...just like most 24 year old college graduates running around nowdays. Does that constitute an agenda? To me, all it adds up to is being young.

5. Did you know . . . ?
A homosexual prostitute, a pervert so heinous that he even had his own web page, which described in sickening detail the "services" he offered, was allowed into the White House press room for over a year? And nobody in the White House seemed to care! This homosexual sleazeball, who actually aimed his demented sales pitch at our star-spangled freckle-faced military men, was operating under the alias "Jeff Gannon" and writing for an ersatz media outlet called "Talon News," which was created just so this phony could get into the White House, near the President of the United States!

Please, please, please contact Lou Sheldon at the Traditional Values Coalition about this horrible affront to our nation's values and demand that he take action against this so-called Jeff Gannon!

7. Oh yeah... push back the darkness of the homosexual agenda...
:eyes:

"Now that we have a better understanding of what the agenda is all about, we must continue sounding the alarm until the entire Christian community is awake and fully engaged. We cannot rest until the battle is won, but with God’s help, we shall prevail!"

Prevail at what? Prevail at oppressing homosexuals? Prevail at encouraging hatred and violence towards homosexuals? Prevail at damning themselves by their own hate?

8. WTF does this mean??
encouraging individual intervention in a neighbor or relative’s family where a male role model is lacking

Oh, silly me. It means what these people do best--butt their noses into someone else's business where they're neither wanted nor needed. It also kind of sounds like a married man's excuse to try to get it on with the single mom next door because her kids "lack a male role model."

14. But remember they are not pushing a theocracy so stop saying that!
"It is not enough to list the things we as a moral people oppose – so-called homosexual marriage, homosexual adoption, etc. Now is the time to assert what mainstream Americans believe and speak the truth even as we are slandered and maligned by extremists."

Rev. Sheldon’s plan of action calls for the education and mobilization of churches and people...


OK, so who stars in "The Handmaid's Tale II: The Fundies Strike Back"? :scared:

16. Yay, more complaining about nothing
You know, in all of my years, I've yet to see this mythical "homosexual agenda" But even as a straight white male, I have found myself, my beliefs and my civil liberties under ever increasing attack by the "fundie agenda"

These people have played victim for so long that they will never figure out when they're the ones who are doing the vitimizing.

I mean, c'mon, "Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, author of the book and founder of the Traditional Values
Coalition, said today that religious conservatives have been “playing too much
defense” " I guess that Sheldon doesn't know about the anti-gay marriage amendments passed during the last election cycle all across the nation. Seems pretty offensive to me, in more ways than one.

Another doozy "Now is the time to assert what
mainstream Americans believe and speak the truth even as we are slandered and
maligned by extremists.”" Seems like all I've heard and seen, especially on a national level, is these RW fundie freaks running down and degrading our gay brothers and sisters. How many Christians in this country have gotten the Matthew Shepard treatment lately? Hello, project much there Sheldon?

And what is really sad is that the RW fundies will eat this shit up, and it will start molding in their brain, becoming more mindless hate against people that mean them no harm. Fucking assholes!

18. This theme against gays will grow and grow in the Rightwing Noise
Machine. They are fishing around for the best wedge issue to take the place of choice/abortion and keep the troops ginned up. Sadly, this will work.

20. Silly fundies!
If they really understood the gay agenda, the book would have been titled "Queer Eye for a Straight Nation: The Homosexual Plan to Give America a Makeover"

People like Sheldon take the "fun" out of fundamentalism (and give it a double does of "mental")

21. Betty Bowers knows all about the Homosexual Agenda
http://www.bettybowers.com/homoagenda.html

The Homosexual Agenda

8:00 a.m. Wake up. Wonder where you are.

8:01 a.m. Realize you are lying on 100 percent cotton sheets of at least a 300 count, so don't panic; you're not slumming.


8:02 a.m. Realize you are actually in your own bed for a change. Wake stranger next to you and tell them you are late for work so won't be able to cook breakfast for them. Mutter "sorry" as you help him look for his far-flung underwear. You find out that you tore his boxers while ripping them off him last night, so you "loan" him a pair of boxer-briefs, but not the new ones because you never intend to see him again.


8:05 a.m. Tell the stranger, whose name eludes you, "It was fun. I'll give you a call," as you usher him out the door, avoiding his egregious morning-breath.


8:06 a.m. Crumple and dispose of the piece of paper with his telephone number on it when you get to the kitchen.


8:07 a.m. Make a high protein breakfast while watching the Today show. Wonder if the stories you've heard about Matt Lauer are true. Decide they must be.


8:30 a.m. Italian or domestic? Decide to go with three-button Italian and the only shirt that is clean.


8:45 a.m. Climb into red Z4 and try not to look too much like Barbie driving one of her accessories as you pull out of your underground parking. Revos or Armanis? Go with Revos.


9:35 a.m. Stroll into office.


9:36 a.m. Close door to office and call best friend and laugh about the guy who spent the night at your condo. Point out something annoying about best friend's boyfriend but quickly add "It doesn't matter what everyone else thinks, just as long as you love him."


10:15 a.m. Leave office, telling your secretary you are "meeting with a client." Pretend not to notice her insubordinate roll of her eyes (or the cloying "poem" she has tacked to her cubicle wall).


10:30 a.m. Hair appointment for lowlights and cut. Purchase of Aveda anti-humectant pomade.


11:30 a.m. Run into personal trainer at gym. Pester him about getting you Human Growth Hormone. Spend 30 minutes talking to friends on your cell phone while using Hammer Strength machines, preparing a mental-matrix of which circuit parties everyone is going to and which are now passe.


12:00pm Tan. Schedule back-waxing in time for Saturday party where you know you will end up shirtless.


12:30 p.m. Pay trainer for anabolic steroids and schedule a workout. Shower, taking ten minutes to knot your tie while you check-out your best friend's boyfriend undress with the calculation of someone used to wearing a t-back and having dollars stuffed in their crotch.


1:00 p.m. Meet someone for whom you only know his waist, chest and penis size from AOL M4M chat for lunch at a hot, new restaurant. Because the maître d' recognizes you from a gay bar, you are whisked past the Christian heterosexual couples who have been waiting patiently for a table since 12:30.


2:30 p.m. "Dessert at your place." Find out, once again, people lie on AOL.


3:33 p.m. Assume complete control of the U.S., state, and local governments (in addition to other nations' governments); destroy all healthy Christian marriages; recruit all children grades Kindergarten through 12 into your amoral, filthy lifestyle; secure complete control of the media, starting with sitcoms; molest innocent children; give AIDS to as many people as you can; host a pornographic "art" exhibit at your local art museum; and turn people away from Jesus, causing them to burn forever in Hell.


4:10 p.m. Time permitting, bring about the general decline of Western Civilization and look like you are having way too much fun doing it.


4:30 p.m. Take a disco-nap to prevent facial wrinkles from the stress of world conquest and being so terribly witty.


6:00 p.m. Open a fabulous new bottle of Malbec.


6:47 P.M. Bake Ketamine for weekend. Test recipe.

7:00 P.M. Go to Abercrombie & Fitch and announce in a loud voice, "Over!"

7:40 P.M. Stop looking at the photographic displays at Abercrombie & Fitch and go to a cool store to begin shopping.

8:30 p.m. Light dinner with catty homosexual friends at a restaurant you will be "over" by the time it gets its first review in the local paper.


10:30 p.m. Cocktails at a debauched gay bar, trying to avoid alcoholic queens who can't navigate a crowd with a lit cigarette in one hand and a Stoli in a cheap plastic cup in the other. Make audible remark about how "trashy" people who still think smoking is acceptable are.


12:00 a.m. "Nightcap at your place." Find out that people lie in bars, too.
