Witchhunts a’comin?

Filed in National by on December 4, 2011

So when did Salem, MA circa 1660, become the Nation’s capital?

Reports are out that Mitt Romney, Michelle Bachmann, and Rick Santorum have signed a pledge to form some type of commission to investigate the LGBT community if they are elected president.

This pledge was created by the National Organization For Marriage, and they have a history of extreme views against homosexuals and anyone who votes to extend marriage rights to them.

The pledge reads as follows.

I, [candidate name], pledge to the American people that if elected President, I will:

[…] establish a presidential commission on religious liberty to investigate and document reports of Americans who have been harassed or threatened for exercising key civil rights to organize, to speak, to donate or to vote for marriage and to propose new protections, if needed.

In other words, the extreme right wing is going to persecute homosexuals on a whole new level if they have power after the 2012 Election. Homosexuals and supporters of marriage equality will be intimidated, interrogated, and stripped of their right to speak freely. The religious right wing has been allowed to push their un-American and unconstitutional agenda for far too long. Americans must push back. If we continue to do nothing, we could all be persecuted by this fanatical group.

Joe McCarthy must be smiling up from Hell. Well, so much for the gay agenda. Just remember, the last time we mixed religion and politics, people were burned at the stake.

    Are you now, or have you ever been a member of the LGBT community?

    I have a list of 100 LGBT people working for the State Department.

    Couldn’t that also be turned around to investigate reports of gay Americans harassed or threatened for “exercising key civil rights to organize, to speak, to donate or to vote for marriage”? Just sayin’. Very broad language.
