Hoo Boy
This crazy fundy dude from Worldnet wants to bring back the Hollywood black-list (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=34415). While he bitches about Johnny Depp's displeasure, I'm sure he looked the other way when Falwell said the bombings were America's fault since we're not acting like him.
Love,
Yaoi Huntress Earth

1. What is WorldNetDaily?
Is this "mainstream media?" Their articles look a bit slanted, but then, again, a lot of the media looks this way now. I can't tell any more.

3. It's a right wing fundimentalist
rage....They want to bring back McCarthyism standards.

Oh, why do we as a culture backtrack? Didn't we just fight these issues?

8. As my mother always says
Society is like a pendulum: it swings back to one extreme and then the other. It's just a shame that a more liberal society is starting to go back so quickly.
But what's even more sad is that there are people who can only see extremes and have not caught on to the idea of critical thinking and spiritual evolution.
Love,
Yaoi Huntress Earth

PS-I just pray to God that some fundy asshole doesn't attempt to bring back the legalization of domestic abuse with some bullshit excuse about men's "natural agression" that needs to be realeased in a safer way so they don't become criminals.

4. They're out there, and they're not going away.
And they have the rhetorical upper hand.

Peeps eat that bullshit up, and we have to find a way to counter the simplistic "solutions" to nonexistant problems they keep coming up with.

Suggesting that I'll ask Streisand to shut up if they ask Heston to shut up doesn't seem to work.

Go figure...

5. I've used the same argument with Heston
The response I got was that he wasn't just a actor. As the head of the NRA, he had an "official" reason to speak.

6. Me too.
Or something similar.

They always have a handy retort, whether it makes sense or not. Heston got the job because he's famous, and doesn't do squat but read the speeches they prepare for him. But does that make a difference?

At least he's not as dangerous as Sonny Bono was in the House.
