Utterly Amazing

From an AP wire report:

The RNC also is running radio ads in several states urging people to register to vote.
"There is a line drawn in America today," one ad says. "On one side are the radicals trying to uproot our traditional values and our culture. They're fighting to hijack the institution of marriage, plotting to legalize partial birth abortion, and working to take God out of the pledge of allegiance and force the worst of Hollywood on the rest of America."

"Are you on their side of the line?" the ad asks before making the plea to "support conservative Republican candidates."

I mean, are there really people out there hearing this and nodding their heads, thinking, "Yessir!"??? Sadly, I guess the answer is, "You betcha."

I hate this argument about "uprooting traditional values." With a Democratic administration, you can live your life pretty much however you want, with the exception of the ability to possess deadly assault weapons that are absolutely useless for anything other than killing groups of people. It's when the Republicans are in charge that you get told how to live your life.

At some point I guess I'll write about gay marriage. Not really time for that right now. But come on, folks. Western civilization is not going to collapse because we alter a few federal forms and let Mr. and Mr. John Q. Public file a joint tax return.

This ad also patently ignores the fact that both Kerry and Edwards are opposed to gay marriage. Kind of hard for the liberals to advance that much hyped "homosexual agenda" if their candidates aren't supporting it. As far as I know, there aren't any candidates out there who advocate taking God out of the Pledge of Allegiance, but as far as I'm concerned that whole Pledge should be banned. You can't instill patriotism by forcing kids to recite oaths; in fact, you're likely to turn kids off from it. America may have a somewhat checkered history (who doesn't?) but there's still plenty to be proud of. If you want kids to love this country, just teach them our history. More than enough there.

I love that bit about forcing "the worst of Hollywood" on the "rest of America." Yes, as President, I would take busloads of Southern Baptists from Nagodoches, Texas and chain them in seats in a movie theater and force them to watch Gigli. I would fine Blockbuster Video $1,000 for each copy of a John Wayne movie in their rental inventory and order them to be replaced with The Real Cancun. I would alter FCC regulations so that television networks would be fined for each broadcast that didn't contain at least one bare middle-aged African-American breast.

In West Virginia, the RNC mailed out printed brochures which said that "the Bible will be prohibited and men will marry men if liberals win in November. " I mean, this is just outrageous. No one is speaking of banning the Bible, and that would be unconstitutional anyway, since "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

ARGH. These liars have absolutely no shame. Well, I guess they'll find out come Judgment Day, when they realize they have taken the Gospel of peace and used it to sow hatred and division and intolerance.
