Reply #52: What if it were Phyllis Schlafly?

[Baby Snooks]

I have to wonder if the reaction would be different if it were Phyllis Schlafly joining Barack Obama on a stage. Would that upset nice straight Democratic women?

There really seems to be this "our agenda matters, yours doesn't, but maybe later it will" attitude on the part of many straight Democrats towards gay and lesbian Democrats.

Anyone who openly endorses discrimination against one group will later openly endorse discrimination against other groups. The way it works. Take a look at what happened in Nazi Germany. First it was the Jews. Then it was someone else. And then someone else after that.

Pandering to evangelists is pandering to the evangelical agenda and that agenda would take away women's rights as well.

You want to see chattel law restored? Evangelicals do. Women belong to men. And for most of the past 231 years, chattel law was the law of the land.

And many of these same evangelicals believe in the Curse of Ham. So the African-American evangelicals may wake up one day and find that once again, in the eyes of the Lord, they are somehow "less than." Because the Bible says they are. Separate and unequal. Once again.
