The list of conservatives surrendering has been noticed by the homosexual activists, as the homosexual blogger notes: “Ted Olson, Margaret Hoover, Meghan McCain, Glenn Beck, Laura Bush, Steve Schmidt, Cindy McCain, Charlie Baker, Elisabeth Hasselbeck … it’s like each day a new high-profile conservative jumps on the marriage equality bandwagon.”
I, for one, don’t plan on giving up. Someone needs to hold the celebrities accountable. Someone needs to offer correction. If we lose the battle over marriage, I’m not sure there’s much left to preserve. Marriage is literally the building block of our civilization. Destroy it and you destroy the foundation.
The enemy knows this.
– From his column, “Conservative surrender on same-sex marriage?”
Don’t you just love being “the enemy”? I’d love it more if we actually had more equality wins under our belt. But I digress…
WorldNetDaily’s Joseph Farah stepped away from his spittle-covered keyboard for a few days, but he’s back at it, continuing to repeat his despair over GOProud’s upcoming Homocon and the conservatives he says are contributing to the “destruction of society’s foundation” for supporting marriage equality.
I really don’t understand what is going on in Farah’s head; how many ways can he write the same tired diatribe — it’s a well-worn recipe:
1. Mention the traitors. Today he lists “Ted Olson, Margaret Hoover, Meghan McCain, Glenn Beck, Laura Bush, Steve Schmidt, Cindy McCain, Charlie Baker, Elisabeth Hasselbeck.” I know he’s getting that massive moustache wet with spit typing those names in.
2. Dump on Ann Coulter. Traitor #1 on his list. She has earned a special place in Farah’s hell for agreeing to headline Homocon; he publicly dumped her as a personal friend and rejected her for his fundie conference. She has to be mentioned in each column and e-blast. On Twitter he wails: “By the way, how come Ann Coulter is getting all the publicity and I’m the publicity whore?” Joe, you’re getting plenty of publicity, it’s just all bad.
3. Mention and trash “homosexual infiltrators” GOProud. Farah has done more to raise the profile of this upstart gay Republican group than any other single source. GOProud’s Chris Barron and Jimmy LaSalvia should write him a check for PR services. Farah’s problem with gay Republicans is that they were much more compliant in the closet. They were always there in the party and about a quarter of LGBTs still vote GOP anyway, so Farah’s just incensed that some have gotten too uppity and kicked open the political closet door.
4. Start the bible beating. Today’s column is pathetic on so many levels. We get hoary servings of Leviticus, Romans and Matthew. Joe is under the impression that many of these vile conservatives are fundies, and are bucking the man upstairs and should shake in fear. Look at this:
There is no middle ground on this issue. Either you believe the Bible or you don’t.If you don’t, there are consequences. If you do, you are obligated to take a stand for righteousness. Of course, there are worldly consequences for that, too – for some apparently too great to accept.
Followers of Jesus have a choice: They can please God or please men. They can accept God’s laws, which are not burdensome, and obey them, or they can reject them and try to tickle the ears of men. They can offend God or offend men.
This is a huge assumption on Farah’s part. My guess is that most of the traitor conservatives mentioned above are either: 1) unchurched, and thus don’t care; 2) have a faith that is more open than Farah’s; 3) non-believers; and/or 4) simply tired and offended by the political bedroom-peeping proclivities of people like Farah dressed up as moral righteousness.
I’m sure they’ll take your suggestions under advisement, Joe.

being “the enemy” is fun,but being “the victim” is far more profitable, in the world of joseph farah, and all the “victimized” christians in the US. there is a linear relationship, between your level of “victimhood”, and your level of revenues, in rightwing fundieland.
forget for a moment the obvious: that straight people, christians and caucasions constitute the largest groups in the country, and are thus highly unlikely to be, as groups, victims of discrimination and bigotry. what farah and his ilk require of their audience is the complete suspension of disbelief, at a level far in excess of that of even the strangest movie or broadway show. it mandates that they, literally, believe themselves under assault by the forces of satan (and you know who you are!). to fight these dark, demonic fiends, it cost money friends. lots and lots of money. give till it hurts. you, not me.
follow the cash trail, as farah and his cronies rake it up and carry it, laughing at the rubes, all the way to their offshore accounts.
Good News for America!Anything that upsets Farrah is, ipso facto, good news for America, a sure sign the country’s doing something right!
He’s channeling Joe McCarthy. Just insert commie and you have pretty much the same script from the 50s. They need not despair. If they lose us there’s still the Muslims and Mexican migrants.
The list of conservatives surrendering has been noticed…… by helio-centric activists. It’s like each day a new high-profile conservative jumps on the ‘sun is a the center of the universe’ bandwagon.
I, for one, don’t plan on giving up. Someone needs to hold the celebrities accountable. Someone needs to offer correction. If we lose the battle over geo-centrism, I’m not sure there’s much left to preserve. The doctrine that the earth is the center of God’s creation is literally the building block of our civilization. Destroy it and you destroy the foundation.
Yup, that’s about what he is saying.
Wow! He claims Benedict XVI’s powersto infallibly interpret the Bible in regards to matters moral!
ONLY HIS kind of Christianity is correct; ONLY HIS pick and choose list of prohibitions from Leviticus to comply with is valid–as exemplified by that polyester blend shirt that he is wearing..
btw….scallops, anyone?
Hey! The Texas School Board rehabilitated McCarthyin their new textbooks.
…because if there were a few spies in the civil service,that totally justifies publicly attacking non-Soviet-supporting liberals and socialists in the entertainment industry and removing their ability to make a living. I don’t know why we couldn’t see this before!
We get hoary servings of Leviticus, Romans…….I’m betting his views on illegal immigration are the same as most of these christianists. They love Leviticus so much yet ignore the passage that deals with “foreigners living in your land.” (Leviticus 19:33&34) They know the anti-homo parts, yet anything dealing with loving others seems to be lost on them.
Love,
Rick
Joe himself is succumbing to our nefarious plot!He used to call it “so-called marriage” and now he’s calling it marriage equality!
He’ll be totally in our clutches soon!
These people such as Farahhave some serious psychological defects. Why can’t they live their lives without telling others how to live theirs? These paternalistic WASPs must get a charge out of thinking that they are gawds and can order others around. What gall.
Blecch!We better order some rubber gloves.
Hehe…What’s so delicious about Farah is that people don’t get to this level of anti-gay hysteria without some REAL deep-down twisted personal “issues” that drive them. I would bet my Judy Garland DVD collection that he’s worked himself into frothy orgasmic disgust over the thought of putting a dick in his mouth (can I say that without getting in trouble here??).
Please…Would somebody kill that thing above his lip!
Sorry I have a hard time taking this guy seriously or I would have something more constructive to add
Farah is obviously too dim to realize that attacking other conservatives, particularly influential ones like “Ted Olson, Margaret Hoover, Meghan McCain, Glenn Beck, Laura Bush, Steve Schmidt, Cindy McCain, Charlie Baker, Elisabeth Hasselbeck …” is a sure way to get yourself marginalized in the movement. So let him yammer away. He’s doing the country a service (though he plainly doesn’t realize it).
dude, what makes you thinkmr. farah is anything more than marginal now? go out on the sidewalk, show 10 random adults his picture, and ask if they can identify him. i’ll bet cash money that 9.999999999 out of 10 say they think he’s that motorcycle dressed guy from the group “the village people”. ok, don’t ask my parents, they won’t even know that.
mr. farah is “influential” to the couple of hundred or so people, out of 300 odd million, that have a clue who he is, no more. pam, here on the blend, much as i respect her and have the hots for her, is probably equally well known, to the general public.
don’t concern yourself into thinking these people (farah and ilk) have much effect on the general public, they don’t.
Thank you so much for the condescending lecture…DUDE.None of the anti-gay leaders are recognizable to anyone but their hardcore followers. That goes for everyone from Richard Cohen to James Dobson and everyone in between. I really don’t need someone like you to point that out.
Farah is the subject of this thread. I commented about him. Is that really too hard for you to grasp?
Farah is clearly a slacker . . .He writes this, with a “straight” face?:
Did I miss something somewhere? I don’t think so.
Who is out to destroy marriage? The last time I looked, making marriage and family formation more widely available should be seen as a strengthening of marriage, not its destruction.
This is one of the points that Ted Olson clearly made in that amazing post-judgment interview on FOX News. I guess Joe Farah is not capable of understanding logic or reason.
Considering his association with the sociopathic WorldNutDaily, it is no wonder that he is beyond reason.
Thanks for pointing out this column – I think I am going to have to skewer this fool over at my own blogsite, when I have a chance to disassemble his rant.
And I might addthat if you think WND’s readership is only “a couple of hundred people,” you are seriously out of touch with reality.
Got it done yesterdayI tear Faraha new one at:
