Christian Fundamentalist Church to build near where Matthew Shepard was found dying

They're preparing to build a hard-core Christian church on the lot right behind the fence where the two murderers left Matthew to die. It's a project by people who believe that people like Matthew invite, even deserve such treatment, simply by dint of being gay. They'll have a lovely piece of real estate, and an easy reminder of the Wages of Sin, right there in front of them as they enter and exit their house of worship.

Not really. No such plans exist, as far as I know. And, for decency's sake, I hope it never does.

I'm just curious how the folks on the far left would react if it were the truth, though. I've been thinking on this for a while, now... I'd like to know the reactions of those who think it's just fine and dandy, and the traumatized survivors and witnesses of the 9/11 attacks should suck it up that a center will be built on top of Ground Zero, built by Islamists who support the aims -- and justify the means -- of the hijackers and their leaders. Would they support the same freedom to establish a religious center near Laramie in spite of the emotional pain it may cause? Or, do they cherry-pick whose rights will be supported, based on some list of favored and unfavored causes?

Just wondering.

Team Obama attempts assault on First Amendment

It's being reported that Obama's supporters are, once again, trying to silence the opposition. Independent fact-checkers have demonstrated there are no falsehoods in the NRA ad, and yet Obama's team are threatening libel cases and visits to the stations by the FCC and the SEC and anybody else in the alphabet soup they think they can throw at the people. Here's the ad they're trying to stifle:


And I say "once again," because they've gone after a radio show in Chicago -- twice -- and Barack himself has proclaimed that shows like Rush Limbaugh's and others where the host consistently disagrees with His O-liness should be restricted, or even banned from the airwaves out of respect for "fairness". Apparently, for Obamists, there is truth, and then there is Truth. Apparently, one must only disseminate Truth, or be branded a heretic and lose one's right to speak at all.

So much for respecting the Constitution. Does anybody think this sort of thing will change for the better if the man gets elected?



For that matter, Obama still owes an apology to Gianna Jessen and the Born Alive Truth folks, for calling them liars and trying to shut them down.

Which would indicate he owes the country an apology. But I'm not holding my breath.
