Right Wing Leftovers

  • Apparently Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell got “‘many good ideas” from his official state visit to Focus on the Family headquarters in Colorado.
  • Someone should ask Gov. Bob McDonnell if Pat Robertson will be attending his “thank you retreat“.
  • The Senate Judiciary Committee voted out Robert Chatigny’s nomination today – Concerned Women for America responded by saying “Senators Should Reject Obama’s ‘Empathy for Sadists’ Judge”.
  • Speaking of CWA, they are very upset about President Obama’s salty language.
  • For all their screaming and yelling, Religious Right groups don’t appear to have generated much opposition to repealing Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.
  • Bryan Fischer bravely attacks the National Association of Evangelicals for supporting immigration reform while conveniently failing to attack right-wing leaders like Mat Staver, Richard Land, and Ken Blackwell, who also support it.
  • Finally, the quote of the day from Michael Pakaluk explaining why he doesn’t want the children of gay couples attending Catholic school with his children: “The third reason is that it seemed a real danger that the boy being raised by the same-sex couple would bring to school something obscene or pornographic, or refer to such things in conversation, as they go along with the same-sex lifestyle, which–as not being related to procreation– is inherently eroticized and pornographic. He might expose other children to such things, as he might easily have encountered them in his household.”
