Memo to the overly Jesus-y: feel free to bring the faux outrage any time

THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD

(apologies to Keith Olbermann)

Bryan Fischer

It’s time we got over the myth that what a public servant does in his private life is of no consequence. We cannot afford to have another sexually abnormal individual in a position of important civic responsibility, especially when that individual could become one of nine votes in an out of control oligarchy that constantly usurps constitutional prerogatives to unethically and illegally legislate for 300 million Americans. The stakes are too high. Social conservatives must rise up as one and say no lesbian is qualified to sit on the Supreme Court. Will they?

Given that some Republicans in Congress saw their way clear to opposing Elaine Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court long before her nomination was even announced, I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised that the right-wing lunacy machine went from 0-60 in the blink of an eye. Kagan’s introductory press conference was barely over when the fools at the American Family Association were demanding to know which side of the sexual plate she swings from. AFA’s Bryan Fischer opined in a blog post that the media should just come right out and demand that Kagan state for the record if she’s a Lesbian. The stunning arrogance, intrusiveness, and obvious offensiveness of that question aside, whose god—-n business is it? “No Lesbian is qualified to sit on the Supreme Court”? Uh…WTF?? By what criteria is a person’s sexual orientation a commentary on their fitness to sit on the highest court in the land? Who, or how, one loves has about has much to do with one’s fitness to serve as their adult beverage of choice.

As for the “we cannot afford to have another sexually abnormal individual in a position of important civic responsibility”…can anyone on the Right explain to me why David Vitter is still in office? And where were the AFA moralists and others on the Far Right when Larry Craig was busted for soliciting a male police officer for sex in an airport men’s room? Man, is that hypocrisy I smell??

The reality is that the troglodytes would oppose a ham sandwich if Barack Obama ordered one for lunch. To the Far Right, Kagan’s nomination was DOA before it was even announced. In truth, the troglodytes had been cracking up the righteous outrage for weeks. Now that Kagan’s nomination is official, the haters have hit the ground running. Nothing like maintaining a little dignity in the process, eh??

Remember, when Conservatives do it, it’s rational, reasoned jurisprudence. When Liberals do it, it’s the worst sort of America-hating, Socialist judicial activism imaginable.
