Queer People – a Christian Message – 1938

An Episcopalian Editorial from 77 years ago. Take from it what you may.

Queer People: An Editorial from Church News of the Diocese of Pennsylvania (1938)

Queer People

Though we have been so regimented by the radio, the beauty-parlor, the automobile manufacturers and the tailors, that we all sing the same songs, name our children for the same actresses, use the same slang, have the same accent, smoke the same cigarettes and wear the same style clothes, as everybody else, there are still a few natures so stubborn that they cannot be bent into the same shape, or so free that they cannot be poured into same mold. 

We call them “queer” people, because they are different from the rest of the herd, and we smile patronizingly at them. But indeed we should be glad that they exist, for though they may not be saviors of the world, as some claim, they at least add most savor to life. How flat, stale and monotonous our daily diet for eye and ear would be without those who dressed differently, spoke differently and acted differently from the regimented majority.

It is to the credit of the churches that they attract so many so-called queer people; for since queer people are usually persecuted by the mob, they know that in the churches they will find Christian love and charity.

Look around for them some Sunday, especially in our large central-city churches, and thank God that there is one place where queer people know they will not be laughed at because they are not exactly like all the rest of our mass-produced population. Some of them are poor, some are rich, some are not too bright, others are thwarted geniuses. But all have their little oddities and eccentricities; they do not conform, and therefore are “queer”.  God knows! Maybe in his sight the rest of us are queerer than they.

Dan Cathy’s Christian-Hate (Oxymoron?) Chick-fil-A Marketing Symbol Replaces Swastika in Redneck Pennsylvania High School

http://www.mcall.com/news/local/mc-bangor-high-school-lgbt-chick-fil-a-20150507-story.html

During the high school's televised announcements that morning, two students on the broadcast wore Chick-fil-A T-shirts, Snyder said.

The students didn't say anything about the Gay-Straight Alliance or the school's LGBT community, but she believes they knew what they were doing.

The appearance started a flurry of tweets, with students calling out the two boys who wore the Chick-fil-A shirts.

The tweets continued over the weekend, and on Monday students who tweeted at the boys wearing the shirts were called to the high school principal's office.

Students were told they were being punished for tweeting during school hours, and because some of their tweets contained obscenities, Snyder said.

She said about 15 students were suspended and others were given detention....

Ayn Rand Priestess and Professional Agitator Pamela Geller Just Another Rupert Murdoch Hate Tool

http://www.salon.com/2010/08/16/ground_zero_mosque_origins/

A group of progressive Muslim-Americans plans to build an Islamic community center two and a half blocks from ground zero in lower Manhattan. They have had a mosque in the same neighborhood for many years. There’s another mosque two blocks away from the site. City officials support the project. Muslims have been praying at the Pentagon, the other building hit on Sept. 11, for many years.

In short, there is no good reason that the Cordoba House project should have been a major national news story, let alone controversy. And yet it has become just that, dominating the political conversation for weeks and prompting such a backlash that, according to a new poll, nearly 7 in 10 Americans now say they oppose the project. How did the Cordoba House become so toxic, so fast?

In a story last week, the New York Times, which framed the project in a largely positive, noncontroversial light last December, argued that it was cursed from the start by “public relations missteps.” But this isn’t accurate. To a remarkable extent, a Salon review of the origins of the story found, the controversy was kicked up and driven by Pamela Geller, a right-wing, viciously anti-Muslim, conspiracy-mongering blogger, whose sinister portrayal of the project was embraced by Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post.

Governor Paul LePage of Maine Does his Daily “Two Minute Hate” Towards the Poor

Little well known fact, besides the daily RNC talking points sheet is a small DVD showing two minutes of da poor buying Lobster, Giant Alaskan Crab Legs and Filet Mignon at the supermarket checkout counter with their EBT card. The loyal GOP viewer then begins a silent and then turning into their daily “two minute hate” rant against da poor, always black or really white trash looking actors (James O’Keefe Casting Inc.COM) in the video who then meet out in the parking lot filling their Escalade SUVs with their groceries all the while laughing at the taxpayers and sharing a common passed around “40” to quench their welfare stealing thirsts.

Oh the poor.  Jesus can live with them but not someone from the club.

Governor Sam Brownback of Kansas Prepares Earth For Jesus’ Second Coming by Victimizing Children’s Education

Sam Brownback's / Koch Brothers Kansas Social Experiment

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jan/20/caught-between-greed-and-religion-the-battle-for-kansas-public-education

“If there is a God, and it loves every child – the poor child, the Muslim child, the child without a church – its ways never have been more mysterious, to some, than meager state education budgets signed by well-heeled Christian governors.”

In a hypothetical Venn diagram, one circle representing extremist Christians and the other fundamentalist capitalists, the lens-shaped overlap contains Sam Brownback, the newly re-elected governor of Kansas. It also includes a broad spectrum of citizens who have supported him: working-class members of the Tea Party, wealthy members of C Street, a middle-class college student who once handed me an essay on zero-sum economics while wearing a T-shirt that read: “pro-life, pro-God, pro-gun.”

Governor Brownback, in his state of the state address, said: “Kansas is the most pro-life state in America. And we are not going back.” Kansas is also $280m short on due payments for this fiscal year, following an experiment with historic tax cuts now in its fourth year. The projected shortfall for next year is nearly $650m. On this point, too, Brownback is not going back: “We will continue our march to zero income taxes.” Indeed, while his administration recently called for slowing deep tax cuts, lofty supply-side goals remain.

This ideological juxtaposition, in which subjective morality is controlled by the state and in which citizens’ objective needs are left for the market to sort out, is by now familiar to most voters. But its most poignant setting, perhaps, was the main focus of Brownback’s speech: public education.

From the Fox News Almanac of Twisted History? – or Blame Obama for White History Channel?

Some racist sounding claptrap making its snaking way through social media.

http://www.mythdebunk.com/first-slave-owner-african-american/

“Our findings is that Anthony Johnson was in fact a black man that owned slaves, but to call him the first slave owner in America would be a stretch. If anything he owned the first slave declared a slave in a civil court of law.

John Casor wasn’t the first slave in America and Anthony Johnson wasn’t the first slave owner, slaves had been in America since 1619 When the first 20 Africans were sold to the Jamestown Virginia Colony by a Dutch man of war [1]. John Casor was declared a slave as a result of a civil suit in 1655, he was an indentured servant until the civil suit had declared him a slave for life. [2]

15 years earlier in 1640,  John Punch (owned by Hugh Gwyn, a white man) was the first man documented as a slave in the Virginia Colony, sentenced to life in servitude for attempting to escape his indenture. On July 9, 1640, members of the General Court decided the punishment for three servants-a Dutchman, a Scotsman, and an African-who ran away from their master as a group. The proceedings reveal an example of interracial cooperation among servants at a time when the colony’s leaders were starting to create legal differences between Europeans and Africans. John Punch became the first African to be a slave for life by law in Virginia. [3]”

The men of Daesh / ISIS / ISIL need blood to get a sexual hard-on.

Far from being Islam, the Islamic Caliphate is a Pagan government demanding pagan blood sacrifice. Islam is going back to the old days when every jerk off Tribe in Arabia has a portable stone idol God in their saddle bags and parked it in the local Kaaba under the care of Mohammed’s ancestors while those tribes guys were in town to visit the local brothels, trading goats for blow jobs and fucks.

PC Ben Affleck Hides Slave Owning Ancestors per Hacked Sony Emails

Saccharine PC correct/sweet Ben Affleck decided to edit his slave owning ancestors out of his professional Democratic Party Resume. Whatever.

Reminds me of back in October when PC Ben tried to explain PC to Bill Maher on what and how to talk Islam and Islamophobia. No wonder the Dems lost Congress with perfect little prissy PC “men” like Ben Affleck mucking up the road and everyday conversation. (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/10/05/bill-maher-1-ben-affleck-0.html)

http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/apr/18/ben-affleck-pbs-ancestor-slave-owner-henry-louis-gates

The film star Ben Affleck asked television chiefs to hide the fact that one of his ancestors was a slave owner, according to a newly published batch of hacked emails involving the media giant Sony.

The Oscar-winning director and actor, star of the forthcoming movie blockbuster Batman v Superman, asked producers of the public-television show Finding Your Roots to leave some details out of the story of his heritage. The host of the show, Henry Louis Gates, a prominent Harvard history professor, appeared upset by the apparently unprecedented request but the sensitive facts were nonetheless left out of the show, which aired last September.

The emails were published online by WikiLeaks. It is not clear how the pro-transparency group acquired the emails, which it published with up to 30,000 others involving Sony that are believed to be part of a huge batch stolen last summer in a cyber-attack blamed on a group affiliated to North Korea.

Pastor Grifter Religionist Rafael Cruz Sr. Claims Gubmint About To Take Over Churches – Phyllis Schlafly = BS

Rafael Cruz Sr.- Phyllis Schlafky - 166 years of old GOP "Family Values" "experience".

With one breath they want “Less” government but demand the right of Gubmint to grab around your drawers and privates (male and female). Family Values? Ha! Family values for clergy and altar boys more like it ...

With one breath they scream “Religious Liberty” and are afraid to be martyred for their faith. (Armchair Christians! lol)

With one breath they want the Gubmint to protect their “Religious Freedom/Liberty/Whatever” but want to pass legislation to protect “Christian Businesses” (What the Fuck is a Christian Business BTW?) from having to make a wedding cake for gays. Oh, please we don’t want the $200-$300 business from you evil sodomites to make your wedding cake (or at least while the members of my church in a small town can see me trying to make a living anyhow).  
WWJ do? Go to a great fuckin wedding feast dudes and dudettes!

With one breath older than dirt, has been, Phyllis Schlafly sits around her radio station in her garage and or bunker, refusing to relinquish her top “GOP Cunt” title to Sarah Palin and gives a platform to some Cuban - Cuban-Cuban, Cuban-American, Cuban-Canadian, and again Cuban American GRIFTER – now a tax free religion down there in Texas – spreading traditional Cuban hatred of all blacks including Cuban Blacks – and now is trying to say a Gubmint that cannot win a war in Iraq has the ability to take over the local Baptist Church and make the local Baptist minister marry them GAYS. What total GOP Bullshit!

http://cnsnews.com/node/908001#comment-1958910783

Pastor Cruz, who is the father of Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), made his remarks during an interview with conservative leader Phyllis Schlafly on her radio program “Eagle Forum Live.”

“We need to realize that the attack on marriage is more than just an attack on marriage, it actually goes to the heart of religious freedom,” said Pastor Cruz.

“Because, you see, what is going to come next -- and this is part of the danger of what may happen out of the Supreme Court in June -- is that if marriage of anybody-with-anybody becomes a civil rights issue,” he said, “then they are going to come to churches and force pastors to violate their religious convictions.”

“And so it is going to come to America to where a pastor is going to be faced with a decision: Do you obey a law that is not only unjust but violates your core principles, or do you obey God and face prison?” said Pastor Cruz.

Welfare Queen Cliven Bundy Wants to Steal US Property – Calls Theft “States Rights”

The Republican Party is rapidly descending into a mob of gun totting Anarchists and Cannibals. They are incapable of creating, building up - or preserving anything including the Constitution.

They want to steal my share of our (US) property out west. I live in New York and Cliven Bundy that wants to cheat me on the rent on that land is just another Welfare Queen as far as I am concerned. All this “states rights” BS is just that – BULLSHIT!

A year after his dangerous armed standoff with federal officials, outlaw rancher Cliven Bundy has become the face of a radical bill in Nevada — and similar efforts in 10 other Western states — to seize and sell off America’s public lands.

Introduced last month by Assemblywoman Michele Fiore (R), who is perhaps best known for controversial comments on guns, race, and healthcare, Nevada’s “Bundy Bill” would authorize the state to seize U.S. public lands within its borders and prohibit the federal government from using any land without the state’s permission. It would also give county commissioners authority to sell off public lands for development.

Ted Cruz Praises Divorce and Family Abandonment in Easter Morning Campaign Message

Per the Ted Cruz YouTube “Blessing” PAC Video shoved down everybody’s throat on commercial airtime on the Sunday news talk shows on Easter of all days, Ted thanks Jesus for his Father abandoning his daughters to be raised by a single mom in favor of the nino, the boy in the Cruz family.

“If it were not for the transformative love of Jesus Christ I would have been raised by a single mom without my father in the house…”

Ted was indeed blessed by dad who abandoned his wife Julia Garza Cruz and his two half-sisters Miriam and Roxanne. 

Ted, a boy, got blessed and his sisters got the shaft so to speak,

Typical GOP “family values” forever!
