[TimeChaser]

1. Yes, we all know that those gays are the ones using "bullying tactics"

:wtf:

[Rocknrule]

26. I can imagine Matt Shepard's murderers screaming "Stop persecuting us!"

while beating him to death

[JuniperLea]

2. These so-called Christians sure do give God a bad name! n/t

[GeorgeGist]

16. Urrr.....

do you have any evidence that God is a Christian?

[JuniperLea]

25. Hahaha! Urrr...

Nope:)

But I stand by my comment. Regardless of "God's" religious orientation, these nut job Christians in question are giving him/her a bad name.

[meegbear]

3. So lets stop them by weaseling in our religous beliefs

[BOSSHOG]

4. Obviously those straight parents lack self esteem

and have no confidence in their parenting skills. And their solution? Hate in the name of Jesus Christ. I wonder if ole Reverand flip benham has ever vacationed alone in New Orleans. Go get em Rev, Jesus will have his day with you.

[MindPilot]

12. there is nothing wrong with their parenting skills

it just that Clinis-fueled GAY AGENDA is so gosh-durn powerful that Jesus name is the only thing that has a prayer of stopping it.

Fact is I just can't take seriously a guy named "Flip".

[Midlodemocrat]

13. I had a LTTE published here that said exactly the same thing.

[melody]

5. Why did it HAVE to be Salisbury????

That town got its name from my direct ancestor, damn it. I hereby withdraw permission!!!! And so does my gay sister who's also his descendant!

What a bunch of cretins.

What about the radical Christian agenda to destroy everyone who doesn't agree with their prejudice?

[RaleighNCDUer]

6. Well, it's about time. I get so tired of hearing about those gay

bullies always beating up on our football players. Trying to lure our athletes into joining the school choir and drama club and even the chess club! I hear they don't even pray before each game. Or whatever.

[Left Is Write]

7. Flip again? Flip is an idiot.

[niyad]

8. silly man just answered the phone himself, told him what I thought of

him and his whole hate-mongering bunch of hypocrites.

[MuseRider]

21. HaHa

I'll bet that was fun. Good for you.

[Faygo Kid]

9. "Flip?"

Detroit Pistons coach is Flip Saunders. I remember Flip Wilson. That's about it. These clowns who define Christianity by the degree of hatred they have for gays are disgusting.

[LizW]

10. Flip Benham? ---- crap.

That guy used to live here and run a traveling anti-choice freakshow. He's certifiable.

:crazy:

[Warpy]

11. Best case scenario

They're all tilting at drag queens while the rest of us manage to get them so far out of power they'll never find their way back.

If you think that's hard on the drag queens, think again. Drag queens are the toughest women I've ever met in my life. Any Christian Soldier who goes after one is going to end up with a very big surprise and a Q-tip to stick into his ear to scratch his balls.

[crikkett]

14. insert silly joke about swordfighting here

>snicker<

[Tyler Durden]

15. No offense, BUT:

Let these STUPID FUCKERS SECEDE AND BE DAMNED TO THEM.

Give them Kansas. They won't do anything real about that Phelps asshole. Give 'em Kansas.

[BOSSHOG]

18. I would suggest Iran

They will not be happy without a theocracy and one already exists in Iran. I dare say there would be nothing but cosmetic differences between an Islamic and a Christian Theocracy.

[Tyler Durden]

22. Works for me. If they'll GO, I'll pay for at least 2 adult plane tickets.

[BR_Parkway]

17. Why can't we 'interpret' the Bible to say that 12 male disciples was Jesus

acceptance of Homosexuality and declare our own religion. Tax breaks, guaranteed Freedom of Religion protection, fundraising (not to mention incredible potential to convert the really cute str8 boys thru their fear of going to hell)

Pass the plate!

[Kutjara]

19. Those cunning gays

"The Gay Lesbian Straight Alliance (GLSEN) has weaseled its way into South Rowan High School in the form of the “Gay Straight Alliance” club."

How deceitful! How underhanded! How weasely! GLSEN infiltrated the unsuspecting high school by forming a group called the 'Gay Straight Alliance.' Presumably under the assumption that the PTA would mistake them for a club aimed at happy ruler enthusiasts.

Reminds me of the very old and very poor joke about the man who is told by the police that their teenaged son has just been arrested for the rapes of girls at his high school. Elated, he calls to his wife, "Darling!? Wonderful news! Gary's straight!"

[GOPFighter]

20. "The battle for the lives of our children..." ??

Dang, ol' Rev. Flip sounds like he's flipped. Them ol' Christians are scared to death of homo-sexuality! Obviously their god is too inept to protect their children from "evil".

Why do Christians always end up calling on governments and demand laws to protect them? As a kid I remember vividly the congregation of my Baptist church wringing their hands in fear over the evil Communists, thinking where is your god, people? Isn't he supposed to protect his flock?

[MountainLaurel]

23. If I'm neither gay nor Christian

Does that make me like Switzerland?

(Just kidding, I'll definitely be fighting with the Homos!)

[Initech]

24. More crap from the Talibangelicals. Sheesh, dont these people have lives?

:wow:

[ninkasi]

27. I am obviously a failure as a mother

All three of my children, my sons both in their 40s and my daughter 39, had gay friends in high school and college. Those friendships have lasted now for over 20 years. In spite of being exposed to dangerous homosexuals, my children remain heterosexual.

Had I raised my children according to the beliefs of men like Rev. Brenham, my children would have succumbed to the vast homosexual agenda, and turned gay. Since they didn't, and just proceeded with their own sexual orientations, I must have made a mistake somewhere.

What did I do wrong? Apparently, I didn't battle for my children's souls, because they remain tolerant and accepting of other people's rights. :sarcasm:

[mondo joe]

28. More like Freedom vs Enforced Christianity.

And if you thought that battle was already fought and concluded, think again.

[CatholicEdHead]

29. So, it is a "Battle"

so onward Christian Soliders.

:puke:

Edit: Hmmm;

"Operation Save America, formerly known as Operation Rescue"

They are diversifing their focus. Get the gays, ignore the babies.

[Bluebear]

31. A "GREAT" battle yet!

Man your battlestations. :eyes:

[cynatnite]

30. My hubby resisted the gay bullies as he watched Brokeback Mountain

It was close, though.

:rofl:

[cboy4]

32. An anti-gay press conference in North Carolina!!?

GASP!

What's next, more press conferences in Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and all of those other well known pro-gay states??? :sarcasm: (of course)

[Brigid]

33. Funny . . .

I don't ever recall being "bullied," whatever that is supposed to mean, by anyone pushing the "homosexual agenda," whatever that is.

[cboy4]

34. Here is an exclusive photo of a gay North Carolina weasel....the kind that

weasel their way in and form Gay Straight Alliance clubs.

[NMMNG]

35. Sigh

Homosexuals who merely want to be treated with respect are "radicals" and "bullies".


So what, then, are the Christians who engage in a "battle" to keep them from even asking for this?

[Behind the Aegis]

36. What a load of SHIT!

The first thing I take issue with is the obvious propaganda... "The Gay Lesbian Straight Alliance (GLSEN)..." How is GLSEN an acronym for "The Gay Lesbian Straight Alliance?!" What does GLSEN stand for? It is the acronym for the "Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network." Notice any missing word from the other explanation? EDUCATION!

I am so humorless as of this posting. I know others are mocking the attack by the radical right. However, it is hard, despite the ludicrous rhetoric, for me to find humor in this "call to arms." I know people who have died because of these people's lies. I have scars on my own wrist because of people like this! The "humor" is that I am a 5'7 faggot, but I have never been "gay-bashed" (Chinah Hora). No, the only person who has ever wanted to end my reign as a "radical homosexual" is ME! Why? Because of everything I heard around me.

I am not dismissing those who ridicule these fools, I am just reminding you that there is a gay or lesbian or bisexual or transgendered person who has been terrorized by these people; so much so, that they are willing or have been willing to end their own lives!

Also, I would like to add, don't ever think that "gays are asking for too much, too soon," because if you do, you are as much a part of the problem as those who wish us dead or silenced!

[Bluebear]

37. You are never alone here.

Some would wonder, why post this news release? I say, it is vitally important that people see what is going on, what voices are out there calling a "great battle" against us.

[Behind the Aegis]

41. Hey Bluebear...

I know why you posted this release!

You want others to see what the GLBT population is up against!

I don't oppose your posting this, nor do I oppose those mocking the cretins making these attacks, I only want others to realize that the pain of the GLBT community is real. We have to watch our young die. We have to watch our young be ignorant of the truth.

I am thankful you posted this article!

I hope those who choose to read it understand the seriousness of the attacks against the GLBT community. When I say the GLBT community, I include those who are straight and work to protect us!!!!

Have no fear, Bluebear; I know why you posted this release! You want to see the end of the war against the GLBT population!

(I have said "I know..," but I have read many of your posts, so I feel I am understanding your mission. If I am wrong, please correct me.)

[baby_mouse]

38. They're in fo some nasty surprises. NT.

[unschooler]

39. Sorry for my ignorance, but can schools refuse the GSA clubs?

On what grounds can/do school refuse to permit them? :shrug:

[Bluebear]

40. I don't know, but one would hope no school would refuse them!

"Flip" will probably paint it as some kind of gay dating club, but its aims really are to end harrassment and torment to ALL students who need advocacy.

For more information on GLSEN’s educational resources, public policy agenda, student organizing programs or development initiatives, visit www.glsen.org.

[unschooler]

46. Learning to respect all people. Pretty dangerous stuff....

:eyes:

[Behind the Aegis]

42. They can refuse them (GSA clubs).

Some schools will go to outstanding lengths to do so. They can refuse them on a variety of reasons, the most common being the group is encouraging sexual activity.

[unschooler]

47. And these same schools sanction PROMS, right?

Whatever.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

43. Odd...

If someone is being a bully, wouldn't that preclude the need for 'weasling their way' anywhere?

Flip's insane.

Heya Blue! :pals:

[Peter Frank]

44. It's a part of the great battle...

The greatest battle has to do with...

[xchrom]

45. did GLSEN ''weasel'' it's way in under another name?

no?

then what ''weaseling''?

there is no doubt that conservative christians are trying to force a war on america.

and this will get a good deal uglier before it gets better.

think of teh hundreds of conservative lawers and politicos that places like liberty university has put into the system -- think of the war on ''liberal'' universities and colleges across the country.

the conflict with conservatives is much bigger than just rove and bush and cheney -- and the ''christian soldiers'' will be hard to appease with out blood.
