A compendium of those compassionate conservatives your mother warned you about

The deranged:

There is still hope. While I absolutely do not approve of assination[sic], there is a good chance of someone trying it before he is sworn in or shortly after.

The homophobic:

Question: What exactly is the "gay agenda"?

Answer:Based on what I see:

To destroy any church or group of believers who take the biblical stand that homosexuality is wrong.

If this country allows as normal and legal homosexual union then any church who will not "marry" them becomes subject to legal action for refusing to perform the ceremony.

I know my church has prepared a draft amendment to our by-laws. The amendment will be that no pastor will preform any wedding for any reason for any person no matter if they belong to the church or not. It further states that the church facility will not be rented or available to any one for a "wedding" for any reason even if they belong to the church.

Should Obama be elected and carry through with his threat to eliminate the defense of marriage act these changes in the by-laws will be put to the church for a vote.

And the clueless:

As the CEO of a business that employees 40 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that if Barrack Obama becomes our next President, then our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Client will have to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8% but since we cannot increase our fees right now due to the state of our economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who would have to go.

So, this is what I did. I strolled through our parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on our employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem.

If you have a better idea, let me know.

Nuclear option! If the gays can get hitched then no one will get hitched!

Well...it's not like "our side" doesn't have a tinfoil hat crowd. But...yikes!

I am hoping that when these people's lives actually get a little bit better over the next four (eight?) years they will start to question what they have been sold up until now.

I disagree in that I think these are the "Too Stupid At Any Speed" crowd.

I'm hoping that the recent election results will create a much-needed disconnect between this brand of right-hand-thread wingnuts and the GOP, swinging the political arena away from ideologies and back to issues.

I really hope that last one is dumb enough to tell his employees *why* he's laying them off (or even better, that they manage to find his post and can tie him directly to it). If he thinks Obama is going to hurt his business, wait until he sees what eight lawsuits do to it.

True - he's opened himself right up, I think.

This assumes it's not an example of another fundiservative behavioral trait - exaggeration. It's just as likely "CEO w/40 employees" is really, "Girl scout leader of a 20 member troop" in the absence of anything other than this persons word. Liars For Jebus!

I wonder how they figure churches will be forced to perform gay marriages when they aren't forced to perform straight marriages. There are plenty of religions that won't sanctify marriages to people of outside their faith, and I'm pretty sure the courts have always supported their right to do so.

And I wonder why you're attempting to apply logical reasoning to their position... ;)

...I'm pretty sure the courts have always supported their right to do so.

Sounds like the right to free association; that's one of the biggies we're all guaranteed.

The Rapture Retards just provided me with an hours' worth of entertainment shrouded in disgust.

My long term goal involves using RR as a fuel source but I won't hold it against them if they can provide some amusement for people in the intern.

i wonder if we'll get some nice federal labor laws that prevent asshole CEOs for firing folks because of who they support, politically.

heh, "assination"... best to just leave that one alone.
