Sexism is the ‘gateway ‘ism”, that makes all other ‘isms’ possible.  It precedes all other forms of discrimination, setting the example that there are some people that view others as inferior and they use brutality upon them.  What I mean by that is that because our family and society models are built around the model of inequality, injustice and brutality – we accept that behavior as normal.  So, too is racism, classism, speciesism and any other oppression by one group toward another.  The behaviors of sexism are the behaviors of bullying, injustice, intolerance and cruelty.

Religious institutions have been attacking the Constitution and the people of the United States long enough.  I don’t want their money, but it is the only way to get their goddamn mitts off of my government.

Hit ‘em where it hurts!  Tax the power hungry bastards.  They cannot stop themselves and it’s up to the rest of us to do it.  Believe me, if they had to pay taxes in order to infiltrate government and tell the rest of us what to do:

• They would leave Washington and state capitals overnight.
• They would stop funding anti-gay legislation.
• We would not hear about Intelligent Design.
• They would stop trying to force regulation of women’s bodies.

These mega-churches, the LDS, Focus on Family, Pat Robertson and other charlatans would clam up in a hurry if they had to pay taxes.

The larger, politically active religions would face pressure from smaller churches and other religions that do not interfere with the lives of others.  They would ask for a separate status for their churches, but I suggest that we lump them all together.

The new rule is: even if you talk about God, you pay taxes.  That’ll stop them dead in their tracks.  Because, no matter what they tell you on Sunday…it’s all about the ‘benjamins’.

The extra benefit for the taxpayer – we can regulate them into a living hell.

bwahahahahaha….

So Newt Gingrich, the spokesperson for pious corporate racists (aka GOP) spouts off on O’Reilly about how advocates of Gay Rights are ‘radicals’ intent on Facism.

Religions claim to be the authority for how we live our lives. They claim this authority from God. Most religious organizations depend on donations from their faithful believers in order to stay in business. There are all sorts of religions, claiming to speak for / to God. Their business model consists of being paid to tell people what to do in life. Their revenue stream is tied directly to their credibility as a source of right-living advice. If people allowed to make up their own minds about their sexuality, then they are likely make up their own minds about a whole lot of things. This is what scares gay-bashing religions most of all.
