The speaking commitments are secondary to the actual characters that have been invited. By that I mean that this collection has been selected because they are deemed worthy representatives of "American Values"…and that speaks volumes no matter how many show or no-show. As far as integrity, agreed…but it would be a full time job to edit content based on what they may or may not twist. No matter what is said, if it is contrary to the dominionist agenda – it will be twisted, regurgitated and panned! thank you for you words of appreciation, it means a great deal to me and my fellow researchers as we trudge through this stuff daily!

Hey, this is VERy good information! Thank you. BTW, I checked the site out and realized that only a dozen or so of those speakers are actually *CONFIRMED* — The asterisks and fine print reveal the truth.
Meanwhile, it is really important that the rest of us bloggers, writers, readers, etc. keep an eye on our own integrity by using thoughtful words and deeds. These whackjobs sure don't need any new ammo!!!

Imagine the things we could think of to make disappear…hmmm….

Love it! Very good enactments! I so wish I were in a position to be a fly on the wall of this dog and pony show in September…but we are seriously working on finding someone to go on the inside and report back!

My thoughts:
Sarah Palin will cancel, not because she feels the center of attention will not be on her (it would be), or because she feels intimidated by the bona fides of some of the other speakers, but because she feels Carrie Prejean is purtier than she is.

Phyllis Schlafly has been a wonderful tool (ha) for pissing off my right-wing friends with her hypocrisy of making a career out of telling women not to have careers. I tell them that by their logic, she, along with Randall Terry, Alan Keyes, Dick Cheney, Peter Knight, etc. and their spouses must be horrible parents because if they weren't, their kids wouldn't have "turned" gay. When they object to that then I ask them, "So you're saying it's genetic and not influenced by bad parenting?" You can smell the synapses burn as they froth over that.

I feel bad for Glen Beck and Mitt Romney. Yes, everyone will wildly clap and cheer for them, ask for autographs, etc., but as soon as they get off the stage, everyone will be saying, "Oh, the poor dear. I'll pray for him." Which translated from conservative Christian talk means, "He's not a true Christian like the rest of us."

You silly. All the founding fathers were right in line with the views of the headliners of this conference. Never mind the ugly little details that a lot of them were Deists or Paine actively hated religion, or Jefferson refuted the divinity of Christ. They would have fit right in so shut up! Just shut up! *Sticks fingers in ears* I CAN'T HEEEEEAR YOOOOOOOU! Nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh!

The preceding has been a dramatic re-enactment of how the conference attendees and spokespeople would react if presented with the facts. Had this been an actual encounter with one of them, blood would pour from every orifice of your body as your head imploded from the illogic of their statements, but this was only a test.

Too bad about Gary Sinise of CSI NY, didn’t know he was a nutjob like the others on this list. Frankly, I have not watched it much since I discovered Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow last fall.
BTW, Alaska Airlines is another business that comes to mind. They had a spokeswoman say that the stage of Sarah Palin's pregnancy was not apparent on the 4-17-08 "Wild Ride". I would much rather hear it directly from the flight attendants who actually saw Palin on 4-17-08 but they would probably be fired.

The radical right is once again showing how easily motivated they are by nothing more complicated than simple fear. The republicans tend to be the biggest cowards in any discourse, willfully ignoring facts in favor of ANYTHING that can make them 'feel' safer.

Sorry to have to point out that they are in your back yard! And now I have to add Godfather's Pizza to the list of companies that I won't patronize because of Cain…ah well, too many points anyway! lol

But that does bring up the need for yet another "gallery" of sorts – all the businesses who are actually income streams for dominionist coffers. Of course we know the biggies like Amway, Avon, Coors Beer company, Dominoes (that one is subtle isn't it?) and Chick-fil-a. There are many others and I should put that list together because I am a true believer that one person DOES make a difference and that even means where I spend my hard earned money.

And yes…this is another huge fund-raiser!

If you want to keep up with these "values voters," keep visiting this blog and stroll over to RightWingWatch.org. They are indeed scary. That's why I visit this blog and RWW everyday.
