I’m not really sure who comes across as the more desperate character: former congressman Newt Gingrich or his personal Igor, Pastor Jim Garlow, who is currently running Newt’s Renewing American Leadership. Gingrich Wants Ground Zero Declared a National Battlefiled Memorial to Stop Park 51 Right Wing Watch Gingrich came on to discuss his recent column [...]

“[Newt Gingrich] is a super-smart man, but he doesn’t know anything about commitment to marriage. He’s the last person I’d vote for for president of the United States. His life indicates he does not have a commitment to the character traits necessary to be a great president.” — US Senator Tom Coburn, Republican politician and [...]

I don’t normally do dedications for these things, but this one’s for you Pastor Jim Garlow. Garlow heaped praise upon this Fox News entertainer and his conservative values, saying, “Glenn Beck is being used by God – mightily. … Based on all I know about him, I am proud to stand with him at the [...]

“Glenn Beck is being used by God – mightily. The left loves to slam him and do so viscerally and often with vulgarities. Glenn is not perfect. (For the record, neither are you or I.) But his expose on America’s sins is stellar. I am convinced his motives are pure. His research department is profoundly [...]

Somebody really needs to ease up on the carbs. Renewing American Leadership is Garlow and serial divorcer Newt Gingrich’s new radical reich adventure, BTW (video: jimgarlow at YouTube) First off, as I reported way back on 15 January 2010, Pastor Chicken Little here had the opportunity to present evidence in the federal Prop H8 trial [...]

“I’ve been convinced that Americans in the other 49 states were largely oblivious to the fact that what was happening here in this district court had national implications. … The next court case could conceivably say that if three people wanted to marry or four people or five people or if someone wanted to marry [...]

“For the radical Islamist, however, this distinction does not exist. Radical Islamists see politics and religion as inseparable in a way it is difficult for Americans to understand. Radical Islamists assert sharia’s supremacy over the freely legislated laws and values of the countries they live in and see it as their sacred duty to achieve [...]

San Diego’s slimiest theofascist, Pastor Jim Garlow, has partnered-up with the thrice-traditionally-married serial adulterer and probable GOP candidate for the US Presidency, Newt Gingrich. In fact, Garlow is serving as President of Gingrich’s Renewing American Leadership. I think the last time I posted a video clip of the rabidly anti-gay Pastor Garlow, he was explaining [...]

The cluephone has apparently rung chez Bryan Fischer of the American Family Assocation: “Newt Gingrich is not morally qualified to be president of the United States.” But? But? But? You say. Isn’t Newt Gingrich revered as a champion of morality among the holier-than-thou-canst-ever-hope-to-be culture warriors of the extreme political and religious right? No, says Fischer: [...]

Mark Hefflinger, writing at Karen Ocamb‘s exceptionally fine news blog — LGBT POV, has deftly refuted the various half-baked memes, lurid fantasies and outright falsehoods about cruelty and violence allegedly perpetrated by the mean old gays against those poor oppressed Christians who klanned up in a concerted effort to eliminate and/or prevent gay rights while [...]

When it comes to taking a stand for what they claim they really believe — lights on, hoods off — America’s christianist bullies turn out be a bunch of spineless cowards who lack the courage to take the stand for their own convictions. Dahlia Lithwick, writing at Newsweek, provides more than ample evidence of that [...]

… or something like that.* The NOMmies seem terribly and tragically traumatized by the beginning of the end of Perry v Schwarzenegger. Final arguments for and against the hateful and discriminatory Proposition 8, the ballot initiative that eliminated the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry in California, are scheduled for tomorrow. I’d imagine [...]

The radical religious right’s carefully-vetted, anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-separation of church and state candidates for ‘activist’ judgeships in San Diego County were trounced yesterday. According to San Diego’s Union-Tribune: “Each of the victorious judges got more than 60 percent of the vote in his or her race, and several saw that wide margin as a rejection [...]

Here’s a round-up of what’s being said about the Christian right’s latest front group, Better Courts Now. These anti-gay, anti-choice, pro-gun theocons are furious because the media and the blogs got hip to their theocratic tricks and got the word out to voters that their religious right-approved candidates don’t belong on the bench. Better Courts [...]

Shenandoah Baptist Church’s Pastor Jeff Owens: Burn and shoot fags! (video: Joe Jervis at Vimeo) [ updated: see below ] According to Pastor Jeff Owens‘ own website: Pastor Owens is ‘a soulwinner, fervent preacher, and takes an uncompromising stand against sin; but the hallmark quality of Dr. Owens is his genuine love and concern for [...]
