E.W. Jackson Launches a Petition to Protect the Bigoted Rights of Christians

E.W. Jackson will not go away. The former Virginia Republican Nominee for Lt. Governor has started a national movement to protect Christians from, as he puts it, "growing hostility, discrimination and anti-Christian bigotry."

The website is called STAND, Staying True to America's National Destiny (gag). And the page on the petition states:

We the undersigned, as citizens of the United States, hereby demand that Congress and the President pass legislation recognizing that under the First Amendment of the Constitution it is a violation of civil rights to fire Americans from their jobs, fine them in their businesses, restrict them from contracting with agencies of government, discipline them in their schools, or punish them in the military for peaceably expressing faith in Jesus Christ, the Biblical definition of marriage, the sacredness of life or any other article of faith; nor may the peaceful expression of such viewpoints ever be a cause for civil or criminal liability or prosecution as hate speech, bigotry or discrimination.

In this video, he explains his reason for this mess.

"TheCall to Conscience" The Attack of 1001 Wackos

This is very sad and disturbing. Cultural terrorists gathered in Sacramento to pray away gay marriage... Mess!

Thousands of Christian conservatives spent 12 hours Saturday praying and fasting in front of the state Capitol at a gathering organizers described as spiritual repentance "when there is no hope for a nation."

The daylong religious event titled, "TheCall to Conscience," was led by Lou Engle as well as other pastors and speakers to protest gay marriage, pornography and abortion. Many of those attending slapped red "Life" stickers over their shirts and set up blankets and folding chairs facing a large stage with banners that read: "Only One Hope God."

People close to the front of the stage held up their hands when called to prayer. They jumped and danced to musical performances between sermons. The gathering filled the west lawn of the state Capitol and hundreds of people spilled into the next block, but the rest of Capitol Mall's five-block-long lawn went unused despite large screens and barricades set up for the occasion.

Can we start taxing the Hell out of religious groups now?

Interesting Quote: Bill Condon, Dreamgirls director

"If you're asking, 'Do we take discrimination against gays as seriously as bigotry against African Americans and Jews?' . . . the answer is, 'Of course we do.' But we also believe that some people, including [Richard Raddon, director of the L.A. Film Festival who donated $1,500 to support Proposition 8] saw Prop. 8 not as a civil rights issue but a religious one. That is their right. And it is not, in and of itself, proof of bigotry."

There's a fine line with religion and bigotry. Are they separate issues or do they run hand in hand?
