Attorney Generals Urge Congress to Defend Religious Organizations

Right on the mark Gus. More political theater.

Gus, your head is not on a swivel; it's probably buried in sand. Mark Steyn wrote a good piece about this terrible public policy. If you want to know where we're headed, Steyn argues, look at the Boy Scouts of America:

I was on the floor of the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles in 2000 when they had some Eagle scouts as an honor guard - and in my section of the crowd everyone booed. And I remember thinking, "Man, these Dems are nuts. Booing boy scouts?"

But the booers won. Over the next decade, gay-friendly churches (Episcopalian, Congregational, and the other post-Christian ones) booted the scouts from church halls where they'd met for decades; Disney cut them off the list of approved charities to which their employees were permitted to donate their "Ears To You" fundraising proceeds; other corporate benefactors from the US soccer league to Lockheed Martin severed their ties ...and the number of new recruits to scouting dwindled remorselessly, and so did their finances. And in the end the boy scouts' leader caved - but too late. In the blink of an eye, the boy scouts had been, as my friend Ezra Levant likes to say, "de-normalized", and banished to the fringe, and nice soccer mommies don't want l'il Jimmy playing on the extremist fringe.

That's quite an accomplishment. After all, until Democrats figured it was safe to boo them, boy scouts were so mainstream that their very name is a synonym for someone kindly and pure and good-hearted. Take litigious lunatic and Nobel Prize appropriator Michael E Mann, who says here that the argument between the global warming crowd and us deniers has been "likened at times to a fight between a boy scout and a terrorist - and you know, we are the boy scouts". Which would make me the terrorist. When Mann calls himself a "boy scout", he doesn't mean he's a homophobic hater - although I'm certainly happy to advance that line in court if it helps. Mann is using "boy scouts" as a synonym for "the good guys".

That's how effective Big Gay is: They took "the good guys", and made 'em the bad guys, in nothing flat.

How many other groups are willing to be boy-scouted in the years ahead? How much faith is there in "faith-based institutions"?

Ever since Loving v. Virginia, churches have been forced at gunpoint to perform interracial marriages. And the number of priests who have been threatened with arrest for not marrying Baptists in Catholic churches is truly impressive.

Oh, those things never happen? Gee...

You are desperately chumming for readers with your patently ridiculous claims. A majority of the justices on the Supreme Court are Catholics; do you really believe they will side with your addled assertions? Tax exemptions will not be taken away; no reasonable person believes that. Catholic schools will not be decertified by your delusionally imagined "board of education" (whatever that is). In the age of home schooling, I have no idea what you are talking about, and I feel confident you do not know what you are talking about either. We are so far from a "post-Christian" society that it is not even worth time and energy to discuss.
