Today's Cultural Warfare Update

None on Wednesday; my laptop is at the shop and this thing I'm using right now is like using farking stone knives and bearskins. Anyway, here's your list:

Fundamentalist legislative attempt to make church/state cases too expensive to bring to court;

Focus on the Family article comparing liberalism to the worldview of Darth Vader;

FotF article attacking attempts to get partner benefits

FotF supports Papal attack on gayfolk, contraception, abortion;

FotF reports Albertsons allows pharmacists to refuse to dispense emergency contraception in Illinois; I'm not sure of the full details of this since there's a court case involved;

Poll shows Americans don't want religious leaders involved in politics; FotF and related groups spin wildly to say the poll really means the opposite and respondants were "confused";

American theologian forced out of the Catholic church by John Paul II nails a new 95 Theses to the doors of the church at Wittenburg;

Comparson of quotes from Nazi propoganda film "The Eternal Jew" and various fundamentalist anti-gay statements made over the last few years - probably beneath me to post this, really, but, well, there it is;

Texas governor tells gayfolk to move out of state if they don't like anti-marriage law;

Today's Family News in Focus accuses secular science of intentional dishonesty;

Concerned Women for America rails against new show with lesbian characters;

CWA article that Christians could be sent to jail for praying - the specifics of the case from their own article is that a school board is refusing to obey a consent degree _it signed_, has been to court over this four times already; they're asking for a contempt of court ruling;

CWA action item against the AFL-CIO over its support for domestic partner benefits at private companies (in union contracts) and its refusal to support the Federal Marriage Amendment - includes action item;

Traditional Values Coalition action item for the "Constitutional Restoration Act," which would forbid courts from hearing establishment (church/state) cases;

TVC action item in support of "Support Our Scouts Act," which insures the Scouts can use Federal funding and facilities despite their official religious requirement and anti-gayfolk stances;

Brutal action item/propoganda piece against inclusion of GBLT-folk in Federal hate crimes legislation by TVC;

TVC action item in support of embryonic stem cell research ban.
