Christian Right Hypocrisy Continues

When is the public going to finally wake up and see these right-wing christian extremists for the hypocritical nut jobs they truly are? We start off this post with news from The Denver Post that yet another leader of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs has stepped down after fessing up to what is described by Associate Pastor Rob Brendle as "a series of decisions displaying poor judgment, including one incident of sexual misconduct several years ago". The executive staff member Christopher Beard, was the head of a ministry that trained young adults in leadership skills. Brendle would not discuss the matter claiming it was a "private personnel issue", but that it did not involve a minor or former minister Ted Haggard. Ted Haggard? New Life Church? Does that ring a bell? Well that's because this is the same church Senior Pastor Ted Haggard resigned from recently after admitting to a drug and sexual relationship with a paid male escort/professional masseuse. I don't know about you, but I have to wonder if there is something in the water in Colorado. Naw silly me - it's all those Soybean products they use since World Nut [er I mean] Net Daily claims Soy is feminizing, "and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality". Now to top things off, we have Focus on the Families' James Dobson claiming in a guest editorial about Mary Cheney's pregnancy with her partner Heather Poe for Time Magazine titled "Two Mommies Is One Too Many" With all due respect to Cheney and her partner, Heather Poe, the majority of more than 30 years of social-science evidence indicates that children do best on every measure of well-being when raised by their married mother and father. He then went on to quote research from New York University Professor Carol Gilligan, PhD, to back up his moronic claim. Professor Gilligan was none to pleased, and demanded an immediate and public apology and to cease and desist from using her research to legitimatize his hate-filled propaganda in the future. The complete text of her letter to Dobson is available here.
