I invite you to join me in calling out the rampant bullshit that passes for "news from a Christian perspective" on the American Family Association's OneNewsNow website. What can one say of this particular gem except, "read it and weep" -- for the future of America.

In truth, what the American Family Association (AFA) disseminates should called "news from an extreme right-wing ignoramus' perspective, since little of it has anything to do with any intelligent person's definition of Christianity. On the contrary, most of its trash has nothing to do with religion at all, but rather with restating and re-restating the Tea Party line simplistically enough for the average fundamentalist troglodyte to understand.

The AFA doesn't welcome in their "comments" section any writer who points out illogical statements (or, for that matter, in just plain old fashioned nonsense) in their articles. Indeed, they maintain a pack of "amen sayers," birthers, radical anti-choicers, and such who are allowed to post any kind of supporting bullshit they like as often as they like. Then, of course, there are their so-called "experts and columnists: fools like David Barton,  homophobes like Peter LaBarbera, and attorneys of dubious ability, such as Matt Staver and Matt Barber.

But it is to the comments section that I direct your attention. It has been said that there is nothing more frightening than ignorance in action. So, for a good scare you ought to visit the AFA and see how the unthinking think. Just Google onenewsnow sit back and enjoy as good a horror show as any Alfred Hitchcock ever screened. And then, if you're still not scared, just remember that these morons vote.
