Ralph Reed’s group to host anti–gay marriage amendment workshop in Minnesota

It’s only a dream, but what if we showed up ten thousand or more strong to protest this event…

We’re in the midst of the Great Recession with so many families being torn apart by economic strife; wouldn’t it be great if all the funds used to organize this nonsense went instead to hurting families. Now THAT might strengthen some marriages and it also might reflect a little bit more of what Jesus would do. (Note to MFFC: Jesus loves everyone—not just “practicing” heterosexuals)

I’m sure we all simply can’t wait to hear what these enlightened thinkers have to share with us regarding the sanctity of traditional marriage. And it will be so wonderful when they explain–clearly, succinctly, and once and for all–exactly why or how the marriage of two same-sex persons harms anyone else’s union in any way. (In case you didn’t pick up on it, that was sarcasm. It doesn’t always translate well online.)

Emmer. Limmer. Bachmann. Cravaack. Kline. Paulsen. These pathetic excuses for current and former elected officials will soon be eating the dust of 21st Century representatives, who can feel the pulse of an inclusive electorate. I’m almost going to be sorry when the Republican Party catches up on this issue. But equal rights is too important to hope that never happens.

That Conference wil be taking place at the former Sheraton. I know that place like the back of my hand. I attend the Sci-Fi/Fantasy Convention CONVergence there each July.

Rally up the troops. Having thousands there with signs, joining in with chants, having speakers, etc., will make quite the impression. I think even Ed Schultz would make it. Al Sharpton too. Get Rachel Maddow??? One can only dream!

If Ralph Reed wants to get “hipper,” he might try dropping this whole gay marriage hoopla–since, after all, it’s a foregone conclusion that it’s only a matter of time before widespread acceptance of gay marriage is validated on a national level–and instead, take up some sort of hobby, such as bowling or stamp collecting. Those activities are far “hipper” than his current pursuits of trying to upend the ability for some of his fellow Americans to simply live their lives on their own terms. Come on Ralph, learn to bowl. Or stamp collect…or if you prefer to collect antique dolls and sew matching outfits for you and your wife to wear, I promise to hold my tongue. It’s a free country, after all.

It’s difficult to have logical discussions with those who are delusional and still, get their facts and knowledge from an outdated source with over exaggerated stories with no base of scientific fact of reality. It’s all brainwashing and control tactics they use on people. The good news is that more and more people, yes, heteros, are waking up to this manipulation of power. I dare any so called Christian (they are all hypocrites, every one of them, nobody can live by all the rules of the Bible… not legally anyways) I dare them to just read through an Atheist web site, then do a little thinking and then decide if perhaps, they personally have been brainwashed from indoctrination as children to believe in illusions all the way into adulthood. The Christian religion is nothing more than a scam and a con of the spirit. It’s seriously sick. Christianity doesn’t offer the architecture or the map of the soul, which is the nitty gritty of our existence as energy beings.

Hey, this dude totally looks like Ed Norton.

Ralph Reed continues to battle his own issues with homosexuality. No surprise here but with his childhood, it’s understandable.

Ralph Reed = closet homo. Will Indiana Republican legislator Phil Hinkle be attending?

Being gay has NOT ONE THING with having a terrible childhood. The fact is that some unfortunate gay and straight kids have shitty childhoods with shitty parents. Right up there is the shitty people who say that being gay has ANYTHING with being gay. Also those professional “straight” people who are financially rewarded with big ex-gay head-shrinking & torture centers like Bachmanns.

[...] Full Story from the MN Independent [...]

“We need to be hipper, more technology savvy,” Reed said when he launched the coalition in 2009. “This is where the culture is going and we need to be there if we’re going to compete.”

Maybe if your average supporter wasn’t in their 50s when the Internet was born, this wouldn’t be a problem.

I like how piece of shit Ralph Reed thinks he can tell other people the morally correct way of living when he is a scumbag that worked with Jack Abramhoff to scam Native Americans by exploiting the stupid right wing religious nuts that listen to him. What a absolutely terrible person.

Who the heck gave Reed a microphone again? I can only assume that short attention span has made people forget that Reed’s Christian Coalition was investigated by the US Senate Committee on Indian Affairs as well as several grand juries for involvement in a lobbying fraud by casino interests? Does the name Jack Abramoff not ring a bell? And, oh, by the way, the Senate Committee report noted that Reed had used Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform to help launder the money?

Remember when Tom Emmer whined last year that he wasn’t anti-LGBT and people were picking on him and Target for that huge contribution to a PAC working to get him elected?

Now he’s a guest speaker at a pro-inequality amendment strategy session. Because he so doesn’t want to discriminate, I bet.
