"Another great example of anti-gay ignorance comes from Michigan Republican Mary Helen Sears, who’s running for a seat on the Republican National Committee. She’s openly stated that the GOP should “purge” all gays from the party and that homosexuality is the work of satan.
She claimed that homosexuals prey on children. She then rambled on about how, “Satan uses homosexuality to attack the living space of the Holy Spirit,” and advocated that Republicans “as a party should be purging this perversion and send them to a party with a much bigger tent.”
To add more to what kind of loon this woman is, she’s also insinuated that “Communist college professors” were indoctrinating our youth and that Darwin’s theory of evolution, “gave rise to Hitler’s Third Reich, Mussolini’s Italy and Stalin’s Russia.”
Ironic considering Hitler often used God and “Christianity” as the power behind his vision. You know, people using religion to justify disgusting propaganda and rhetoric. Used to perpetuate hate toward a particular group of people and push their own selfish ambitions driven by greed.
Sound familiar?
Sears also wrote, “If the GOP continues down this trend and stands for perversions and the daily social fad – the GOP will be truly dead and Satan will have had his day.”
While all of this sounds insane (because it is) tens of millions of conservative voters truly believe it. While most aren’t given a public stage to voice this kind of ridiculousness, trust me when I say that many conservative voters feel almost exactly how Ms. Sears does.
That’s the terrifying part to all of this. As loony as most people might view this woman, being that I live in the South where conservatives are extremely religious, her words do not at all shock me."rest at http://www.forwardprogressives.com/republican-official-gays-purged-gop-homosexuality-created-satan/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ForwardProgressives+%28Forward+Progressives%29
