    Who incredibly was featured as a Black conservative even though he's white.
    One of the antigay groups, I think Focus on family although I have trouble keeping all these homophobes, er, straight, published a newsletter which had their own shit but also wire service stories. They programmed software to substitute homosexual for gay because people respond more positively to gay.
    So they covered a track event. Winner of 100 yard dash gets label of world's fastest man/woman. Event was won by Tyson Gay. Headline "Homosexual is World's Fastest Man". Story began, "Sprinter Tyson Homosexual proclaimed world's fastest man after winning 100 yard dash ... "
    They later corrected but original became collector's item.

    Wow. There is some very inept evil circulating quickly around this country's right wing. I mean, we all know it has been happening for a while, but the speed of the offensive has been accelerating exponentially. It makes America a very depressing and scary place to continue living.

    There are Nazis protesting at Disney World today.

    If your policies are getting supported by Nazis that should tell you they're shit.

    Texas judge invites Disney World to relocate, calls Florida authoritarian & anti-business

    TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Texas judge wrote a letter to Disney’s CEO inviting the company to move its Walt Disney World resort to the Lone Star State after its issues with Florida’s state government.

    Friday, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill dissolving the Reedy Creek Improvement District, Disney’s private government that has been in place for 55 years.

    DeSantis signs bill to dissolve Disney’s private government
    This came after Disney openly opposed the Parental Rights in Education Bill, also known as the “Don’t Say Gay” Bill. Last March, the company announced it would end its political donations in Florida and instead support organizations in opposition to the law.

    In the midst of DeSantis’ feud with the Disney Company, Fort Bend County Judge JP George, the chief executive officer of Fort Bend County, Texas, wrote a letter inviting the company to relocate to his area and avoid “authoritarian, anti-business, and culture war attacks from extremists in Florida.”

    The letter, addressed to CEO Bob Chapek, promoted his county as an ideal location for the large amounts of purchasable land and its strategic location in the state of Texas.


    “In fact, major employers like Amazon, Texas Instruments, Comcast, Gallery Furniture, and others have recently made vast investments in our community including thousands of good paying jobs with many more employers on the way,” George wrote.

    In addition to inviting Disney to invest in Fort Bend County, the judge also invited Twitter to look into his home county as well.

    'Disney's morals are in the gutter': Evangelical Pastor Franklin Graham says Disney 'flaunts sin' as he backs Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in battle over so-called 'Don't Say Gay' law
    • Graham accused Disney of a 'moral failure' for taking on DeSantis's Parental Rights in Education Bill
    • Also slammed firm for selling rainbow-colored pride souvenirs
    • Said he was glad Disney's finances were being hit by the stance, with its shares slumping by a third as the controversy over the bill rages on
    • So-called Don't Say Gay law prohibits public school instruction on gender and sexuality between kindergarten and third grade

    I highly respect his efforts. Samiritan's Purse is a class organization.

    What a hypocrite. The organization run by Graham and run formerly be his father has been trying to push it's agenda on the public for decades. Maybe their organizations status should be revoked. Pay taxes for that lavish lifestyle being lived on others money.

    They'd be aghast at this:

    https://www.jns.org/florida-gov-des...or-of-nuremberg-trials-with-medal-of-freedom/

    Florida Gov. DeSantis awards prosecutor of Nuremberg trials with Medal of Freedom
    Ben Ferencz, 103, said he has worked his whole life for “a more humane and peaceful world, where no one would be killed or persecuted because of his race or religion or his political beliefs.”

    When Nazis protested earlier in the year DeSantis tried to claim he was a victim.

    DeSantis says people calling for him to condemn Nazis are trying to 'smear' him

    (CNN) Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday lashed out at those who called on him to condemn Nazi demonstrations that had taken place over the weekend near Orlando, accusing his political opponents of trying to "smear me as if I had something to do with it."

    DeSantis was responding to a question about viral videos and photos of a small group of people wearing Nazi symbols yelling antisemitic slurs while demonstrating Saturday and Sunday on streets and highway overpasses in the Orlando area. While other Florida political leaders, including many Republicans, publicly condemned the gathering, DeSantis had not, sparking some criticism of the governor on social media.

    DeSantis said those critics were trying to "use this as some type of political issue," adding: "We're not playing their game."

    The remarks came a day after DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushaw posted and then deleted a tweet questioning if the demonstrators were actually Democrats in disguise.

    He's no victim. If he won't oppose Nazi's, if he won't just say it, and be clear about it, than that is telling.

    Riight, just like the insurrectionists on January 6th were Democrats in disguise.

    Of course you highly respect him. His agenda is your agenda. Too bad neither is actually a “Christian” agenda. And the Samaritan’s Purse thing has it’s place. It gives Franklin an opportunity to show he “cares” about little brown children……while crapping all over American children who aren’t white or heterosexual. White Christian hypocrisy at it’s finest…….

    My wife has participated in the Samaritan’s Purse thing at Xmas for several years. It is a worthwhile endeavor as far as it goes. But it strikes me as incredibly unChristian (and hypocritical beyond words) that ol’ Frankie can see himself riding into heaven because he encouraged others to provide some “Christian cheer” to disadvantaged brown and yellow babies in other countries, all the while being a first team cheerleader for a so called American “leader” who plays politics with American children who are disadvantaged (and please DO NOT tell me that trans gender or gay individuals are not disadvantaged in America…and becoming even more so because of insecure punks like DeSantis). I guess the only children that really count are white cis babies. But as long as those “third world shithole country” babies get inexpensive Xmas trinkets, St. Franklin will sit at the right hand of God. No way on God’s green earth Franklin Graham (or anyone who supports him) can honestly call themselves Christians. Disgusting.
