Fundie filth "You stole our rainbow"

Anti-Gay Activist: Gay Rights Groups Stole The Rainbow From Us!

An activist for a sub-group of the anti-gay group the National Organization for Marriage is speaking out against the use of the rainbow as a symbol for gay rights. "We are the real rainbow coalition. The gay lobby does not own the rainbow," she said.

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse is the founder and president of the Ruth Institute, which describes itself as "a project of the National Organization for Marriage." On its site, the group describes its mission statement as "to promote life-long married love to college students by creating an intellectual and social climate favorable to marriage."

Becky Yeh of right-wing American Family News Network's OneNewsNow, a product of the American Family Association, writes that Morse says "the rainbow is a sign of God's covenant with man." Morse told ONN: "Proposition 8 was passed by a great grassroots coalition that included people from all across the religious traditions, and also people of every race and color. We are the real rainbow coalition. The gay lobby does not own the rainbow

And right-wing conservative FILTH stole Christianity from REAL Christians! Now Christianity is a dying faith on life-support thanks to TEAHADIST TERRORISTS who hi-jacked it.

"Since the White Buffalo returned, the Whirling Rainbow is the Skysign of the current era. No one owns it. And no one can exclude anyone else. You can only exclude yourself."

3. Look at her credentials.
Dr. Morse served as a Research Fellow for Stanford University’s Hoover Institution from 1997-2005. She received her Ph.D. in economics from the University of Rochester in 1980 and spent a postdoctoral year at the University of Chicago during 1979-80. She taught economics at Yale University and George Mason University for 15 years. She was John M. Olin visiting scholar at the Cornell Law School in fall 1993

THEN the stupid hit her. Hard.

5. Being older - it's very strange to see how Catholics turned away from Vatican II and how
Many mainstream Protestant churches allowed unaffiliated
Evangelicals and southern baptists define our faith.

There was a time when ecumenism ruled and the faith was
Embracing a beautiful new day.

Now we have to struggle just to shake the conservative parasites off.

13. It's not even the ROY G BIV rainbow, dimwits!
Edited on Thu Dec-16-10 06:54 PM by justiceischeap
The Gay Pride flag is less one stripe, the "I" in Biv. So, she's too dumb to realize that "her" rainbow has seven stripes and "our" rainbow has six.

The next thing ya know, they're going to want to take away unicorns too!

15. Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas? Now they're arguing over the damn rainbow...
We're not in Kansas anymore, ToTo.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

16. You can have my Rainbow when you pry it
from my cold, prismatic hands.


This is my Rainbow. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My Rainbow is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My Rainbow, without me, is useless. Without my Rainbow, I am useless. I must fire my Rainbow true. I must shoot gayer than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...

My Rainbow and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...

My Rainbow is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my Rainbow clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...

Before God, I swear this creed. My Rainbow and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!

You don't get to exclude the colors you hate.
