Declaration of Independence from the 'christian' Right
Simply put: Ties with the 'christian' Right makes a Leader Illegitimate.
Why:
1. There is a direct correlation between ties to the 'christian' Right and corruption. Connecting oneself to the 'christian' Right to look moral is a deception trick that is often used by the Corrupt and makes true Christianity look bad.
Look at Tom DeLay. Look at Ralph Reed. Look at George W. Bush.
2. The people who vote for 'christian' Right politicians are also often coerced to vote for these politicians by their Church or Para-Church Leaders.
3. The Sins of the 'christian' Right
The 'christian' Right has been tied to the following:
Opposition to the Civil Rights Movement Support of Apartheid Opposition to Stem Cell Research Opposition to AIDS Research Opposition to an HPV Vaccine Opposition to the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child Support of Death Squads all over the world Support of Dictators such as Mobutu Sese Seko, Charles Taylor, etc. Opposition to GLBT Rights Opposition to Women's Rights Other misdeeds
4. The 'christian' Right defined
The Christian Coalition American Family Association Family Research Council Family Research Institute (Has been declared to be a Hate Group by the SPLC) Focus on the Family Chalcedon Foundation (Has been declared to be a Hate Group by the SPLC) Traditional Values Coalition Operation Rescue American Vision (Has been declared to be a Hate Group by the SPLC) Various Groups and Individuals affiliated with the Council for National Policy Other groups
5. Conclusion
1. The 'christian' Right has been a force that has malevolently opposed Scientific Progress and has even obstructed the research required for life saving treatments.
2. The 'christian' Right has been a force that has malevolently opposed Civil Rights and Equal Rights for ALL people.
3. The 'christian' Right is a force that has proven itself dedicated to the obstruction of Democracy.
4. The 'christian' Right is a force that publishes and broadcasts false propaganda. This propaganda has contributed to physical attacks on GLBT people.
5. The 'christian' Right is a force that opposes Democracy and Progress. Therefore we can not view people who are endorsed and supported by the Christian Right to be Legitimate figures of Authority.
(To 'sign' it, just say "Signed" or something. I think it is better that people not leave their real names when it comes to this. I'm also going to be passing this onto other Progressive groups, such as Daily Kos, so look for it in other places.)
