In other words, they are intending to PERVERT God&#8217;s original intention!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Parsley, an Ohio megachurch pulpit thumper once shouted out at the &#8220;War on Christians&#8221; conference in 2006, &#8220;A spiritual invasion is taking place! Man your battle stations! Ready your weapons! Lock and load!&#8221; When these righteous men of god, these men of high moral values speak of war, people listen. And here&#8217;s the blood payoff&#8230;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1wy4EAigSBw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The mistake when these people rail against hate crime laws, is to take the rhetoric at face value. They&#8217;re babbling that those laws will restrict their ability to preach lock and load sermons from the pulpit, but it&#8217;s not the loss of their the first amendment rights they&#8217;re worried about. When Parsley shouts &#8220;lock and load&#8221; he knows exactly what he&#8217;s doing. He&#8217;s calling for blood on the streets. If his useful tools, the young male thugs he&#8217;s counting on strike fear into the hearts of gay people, suddenly find themselves being held accountable for their actions, then they might think twice and Parsley&#8217;s work, and that of his fellow hate mongers will all be in vain. They&#8217;re not worried about being silenced. They&#8217;re worried that their words won&#8217;t have the desired effect anymore, that the bloodshed will stop. A fearful homosexual, is a good homosexual. A dead homosexual, is an even better one.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/brucegarrett.com\/political_cartoons\/nervous_yet.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Via Pam&#8217;s House Blend&#8230; Right Wing Watch has this video up on McCain&#8217;s new buddy, Ron Parsley, whom I&#8217;ve done a political cartoon about previously&#8230; &#8220;This so-called hate crimes legislation would preferred status to people based on entirely on who they choose as a sexual partner.
