UNBELIEVABLE, JUST UNFUCKING UNBELIEVABLE!

Rev.'s Warning: Allowing Gays Will Be Democrats' Demise

A campaign surrogate for Keryl Douglas, who is running for president of the Harris County, Texas, Democratic Party, attacked her gay opponent, Lane Lewis, warning that the party could be ruined by gay people.

In a campaign letter to Douglas's supporters, the Reverend Willie J. Howard wrote, "If the gays take over we are poised to lose everything we have worked for during President Obamas [sic] historic win. The Republicans will rally their troops behind a united front of making sure this push for same sex marriage is defeated."

After mentioning the advances of LGBT rights in Houston, thanks to lesbian mayor Annise Parker and other politicians, Howard urged Democrata supporters to Douglas for her or else the party will become "a party of homosexuals."

believe laws regarding LGBT rights are the only reason the entire country doesn't become "a party of homosexuals"?

These people make me laugh every time!

And they are not all like that. And yet precious few religious Democrats will stand up and oppose this hate. So no wonder they insist that we always point out that they aren't all like that. 'Cause it is hard to tell just from looking.
Sick of this shite.

The hits just keep on coming.

Seriously, for a religion that is supposed to be about Love, there sure are a whole lot of people that refer to themselves as christians who believe in bigotry and hatred.

They're malicious and dangerous.

Real Christian folks need start getting together so they can take impostors like the dishonorable Rev. Willie J. to the woodshed, and then disavow them if they refuse to get it.

10. Hate doesn't belong in either the Christian church, or the (D) party.

The fundamentalist Xians and DINOs, on the other hand.....

If people like that have their way, the only ones with Civil and Constitutional rights would be white, land-owning males. Just like the good ol' days they pine for.
