Bush Linked to Anti-Gay Terrorist in Uganda

From a post on flamingpolitics.com.

Perhaps the title is a tad sensationalistic, however it is far from being as absurd as one would hope in this day and age that the United States of America would help fund dangerously violent homophobic groups in other countries. Of course, I am not claiming that the Bush Administration is providing funds to these groups for the express purpose of killing gays and lesbians, but rather the US government is doing nothing to assure that the recipients of American humanitarian aid are adhering to any kind of basic standard when it comes to the human rights of all of their citizens.

In a report on 365gay.com regarding further persecution on the part of the Ugandan government against its LGBT citizens:

“The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission last year said that it had uncovered evidence that the Bush administration has funded groups in Uganda that actively promote violence and discrimination against lesbians and gay men.”

Homosexual acts are already illegal in Uganda, however because of the lack of success in bringing charges, Ethics and Integrity Minister James Nsaba Buturo has announced new legislation which would make it illegal to even be homosexual. Any person known to be gay or who openly acknowledges their homosexuality would be considered a criminal and be treated as such. Sadly, this stance is relatively enlightened compared to the that taken by the countries Christian and Muslim leaders who are actively calling for the complete eradication of homosexuality from Uganda by the assasination of any LGBT citizen. Ahhh, religion.

John McCain is Just Another George W Bush

Russia invades Georgia and President Bush goes on vacation. Our president has spent one-third of his entire two terms in office either at Camp David, Maryland, or at Crawford, Texas, on vacation.

His time away from the Oval Office included the month leading up to 9/11, when there were signs Osama bin Laden was planning to attack America, and the time Hurricane Katrina destroyed the city of New Orleans.

Sen. John McCain takes weekends off and limits his campaign events to one a day. He made an exception for the religious forum on Saturday at Saddleback Church in Southern California.

I think he made a big mistake. When he was invited last spring to attend a discussion of the role of faith in his life with Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, at Messiah College in Pennsylvania, McCain didn’t bother to show up. Now I know why.

It occurs to me that John McCain is as intellectually shallow as our current president. When asked what his Christian faith means to him, his answer was a one-liner. “It means I’m saved and forgiven.” Great scholars have wrestled with the meaning of faith for centuries. McCain then retold a story we’ve all heard a hundred times about a guard in Vietnam drawing a cross in the sand.

Asked about his greatest moral failure, he cited his first marriage, which ended in divorce. While saying it was his greatest moral failing, he offered nothing in the way of explanation. Why not?
