Scott Lively, gay hating pastor and exporter of homophobia to Africa, is lecturing on politics to his religious right cronies.
This is Lively’s vision of a future coalition in which the religious right would dominate:
Why will ethnic minorities join us in the first place, before we’ve been able to prove ourselves champions of true social justice? We will make a simple appeal to the thing we most share in common. “Our Bond Is Family!” There’s our pitch and strategy in bumper-sticker simplicity. The typical African American or Hispanic person is generally more Christian and pro-family than the average American…
We should reach out to moderate and conservative-leaning environmentalists as well. Environmentalism is another movement we should rescue from the Marxists and rebuild on a Christian foundation. Our responsibility to be good stewards of the earth is a central tenet of Christianity, and we are certainly much more capable of fulfilling this duty in a balanced manner than the Marxists are. (Not to mention that we would do the world a great service to steer at least some portion of this powerful movement away from power-grabbing globalist goals such as Agenda 21 and “global warming” and toward authentic environmental needs.)(!)[Quotation marks his.]
My nonexistent god, why did you create such stupid critters? He wants to “rescue” the environmental movement by making it ignore the biggest environmental challenge of our time? Is Mr Lively moonlighting as a comedian?
Regardless of what self respecting not-nutcase would want anything to have to do with as nasty a character as Lively, I have an “inconvenient truth” to share with him:
Minority views on equal rights for gays have shifted, just as they have shifted for the rest of the society. (For which, undoubtedly, some credit should go to President Obama.) As much as he is thinking that minorities will be flocking to him upon being told that he is a homophobe, this is likely going to be as silly a prediction as his “rescue” of the environmentalist movement.
Oh, and he is going to run for governor of Massachusetts. Yes, the first state ever to legalize gay marriage. That Massachusetts.
Sweet dreams, Scott!
