"The Religious Right Then and Now" shows the Religious Right near the peak of their power at the 1992 Republican National Convention at the Houston Astrodome. The short film highlights the extreme views of the Religious Right and includes footage of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush and numerous right-wing activists: Pat Buchanan, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Ralph Reed, Gary Bauer, Phyllis Schlafly, James Robison, etc. It was produced in the early 90s by People For the American Way."

Pretty scary stuff.

2. Well that was eyeopening

I hadn't heard of many of those nuts but it's surprising how the Repuke party hasn't changed at all since then. Still being run by religious zealots, fortunately I think the rest of the country is starting to see them as I do, a bunch of power hungry crazy assholes.

Who was the guy from the moral minority hoping for execution of homosexuals? I've not come across him, perhaps even a bit too much for the pukes?

3. Dean Wycoff said that...part of the Moral Majority.

That was a real shock to hear that said out loud in this country.

4. Especially within the last 40 years

that guy was out there. I know one or two gay guys that would probably like it if he said that to their faces.

Plus for some reason all I'm thinking about is "The Blue Oyster" scenes from Police Academy and how much fun it would be to toss him in there. ;-)

5. They can take their hatred and wrap it up in the name of Jesus and Christianity

but it doesn't change what it is and what they are. They are despicable.

7. Jesus would be weeping to hear their nonsense.
