Right Wing Leftovers

  • Gary Bauer calls on “pro-lifers [to] help Americans discern Obama’s abortion extremism, [so] they can help minimize the destruction of innocent human life that this administration is dedicated to inflicting.”
  • A hearing on anti-discrimination legislation in North Dakota generated this quote from the director of the state’s chapter of Concerned Women for America: “[the bill is] a giant step toward the adoption of policies that discriminate against people with traditional views of morality. This law would not protect rights, but would rather grant special privileges based strictly on someone’s sexual behavior. Further, those privileges would have a significant impact on the constitutional rights of North Dakotans who may have a moral objection to certain sexual behaviors.”
  • The director of Cornerstone Policy Research in New Hampshire says his group has “partnered with several national groups — including the American Family Association and Focus on the Family — to fund anti-gay-marriage spots that could air on radio and television stations in about a month.”
  • Why is German Chancellor Angela Merkel speaking out about the Pope’s decision to make nice with a Holocaust-denier?  Because, according to Bill Donohue, she and all Germans are “reeking with guilt over the Holocaust.”
  • Roy Moore joins the chorus of those freaking out about President Obama mentioning non-believers and other religions in his Inaugural Address, proclaiming: “To state that this is a Muslim nation, a Hindu nation, or a nation of nonbelievers is to deny that God is the grantor of religious freedom. It is also a denigration of the Christian faith to just another religion.”
  • Finally, the Family Research Council’s Krystle Weeks complains that crosses used in an antiabortion demonstration at George Washington University were defaced last week and that while “the media wants to fawn all over Barack Obama and his administration … they would rather ignore a story that violates the freedom of speech and religion.” She then links to this Washington Post article about it … which rather undermines her claim that the media is ignoring this incident, don’t you think?
