Why it doesn’t pay to read political commentary by partisans

They need an enema, every one.


Their case, in a nutshell.

American evangelicals were OK with Roe.

According to BooMan,

It was actually a ruling by the DC District Court upholding the Internal Revenue Service's decision to revoke Bob Jones University's tax exemption that convinced evangelical leaders Jerry Falwell and Paul Weyrich to rally the religious right against President Jimmy Carter's reelection.

They could hardly make Bob Jones' anti-miscegenation their rallying call, however, so the modern-day Republican Party was founded on an evangelical "awakening" on what had formerly been considered an issue [abortion] only for "papists."

Today, the party of Dwight Eisenhower and Everett Dirksen is the party of Jerry Falwell and Paul Weyrich.

The party of Lincoln is now the party of voter ID laws.

The conclusion is that culture wars issues of the sexual revolution are fake and the Republican Party in general and the religious right in particular are really only a bunch of racists.

What?

Not insane, woman-hating phallocrats?
