Has anyone seen or heard any of this garbage that this guy Pat Robertson is spreading? If not, here's a quick run-down on this situation...

Since the Supreme Court's decision to legalize consensual sodomy in the state of Texas (or elsewhere, of which I am uninformed as to what states were affected by the Supreme Court's decision). Now this guy Pat Robertson acting under a guise of "morality" is holding a prayer-a-thon (I don't know if this is still going on, but its still news to me). He wants to see the Supreme Court repeal its decision because, like most extremists (be they political or religious) hate homosexuals because in these extremist circles, homosexuals are considered nothing short of an abberation of nature that should be supressed (and if these circles got half the chance, not only supression, but annihilation as well). I myself am not a homosexual, but I understand the plight of these people to be understood and free to do as they please like any other human being living in the United States (or the world, for that matter).

Mr. Robertson calls this effort of his "Operation Supreme Court Freedom" (no, I'm not making this up, google that phrase). Now how in the hell does he have the balls to use the word "freedom" in this act of thinly-veiled hate? He wants to see the freedoms of people stripped away. It's none of his goddamn business what people do in their bedrooms. If he's so concerned about "morality", why doesn't he practice morality instead of trying to convince people that the common good depends on oppressing a certain group of Americans?

It seems anymore that "freedom" has become a relative term that only applies to rich old guys who can buy TV time to funnel this hate of people to the masses like so much shoveled dirt.

To make a long story short, this guy is full of shit. Just another Right-Wing Christian Republican hater with an agenda.
