Colleen Raezler: One of the Right Wing Nut Busters at NewsBusters

There’s a post on NewsBusters.com by Colleen Raezler which tries to disguise itself as a ‘critique’ or ‘review’ of the new ABC comedy, Modern Family.

Basically, all she accomplishes is blasting the critics who like the show and blasting ABC for trying to ruin the moral values of a good Christian nation by promoting homosexual propaganda.

From her post:

“the show itself is stereotypical Hollywood propaganda.”

What’s the stereotypical Hollywood propaganda?  Why it’s promoting the gay agenda, of course.  This lady appears to be somewhat riled up over the fact the show depicts a gay couple who have adopted a child.

So, unable to contain her opposing views, she spews the “stereotypical” Christian right rhetoric, such as:

“Mitchell’s dad is less than thrilled with his son’s lifestyle. Writers portrayed him as a bigot.”

No Colleen, of course he’s not a bigot.  Everyone knows if you base your hate and discrimination on the Bible you’re not a bigot…you’re just a good Christian who hates people.

Then of course she brings out the Biblical big guns stating:

(The show) “undermined the truth that kids do need a mother.”

Well, Colleen, perhaps in an ideal world, every child would have a mother and a father.  But wait, what about the over one million homeless children living in the U.S. alone?  I don’t see married couples jumping at the chance to adopt them.  In fact, what I see are the good Christians of this nation holding tea-parties because they don’t believe the over one million homeless children in the U.S. deserve health care.

What about the children who have lost their mother to an untimely death? Should they be forced into the child welfare system until some lovely Christian couple adopts and provides that perfect home? Don’t you think you’re spanking the single Dad’s just a little too hard?

Also Colleen, since we are now fully aware of your opinion that a mother is ALWAYS needed, what do we do for all the other children that don’t have a mother…or one that can, will or wants to care for them?

Can you honestly say it’s better for a child to remain homeless, or in a “government run” (I know how you righties hate anything government run) system that leaves them little if any chance of ever knowing what a loving home is?  Is it better to have those children go hungry?  Is it better for them to NOT ever have the opportunity to increase their life potential by attending a college or university?

Colleen, you need to get a grip.  What you see is in the way you look at it.  Your negativity is not only unjust for the children being denied loving homes, but for the LGBT people who would be great parents providing unconditional love, a safe home, food, clothes, and a chance at a higher education to the children that would otherwise live without.

How selfish are you and where does your God complex come from.  Your opinions are bigoted, you views filled with hate, and your ignorance abounds.

Whether you like it or not Colleen, statistics prove you wrong.  Children that have been raised in LGBT homes statistically grow up with higher rates of education and are extremely well adjusted as adults…the difference between you and them, they are thankful to the LGB or T people for doing their part to make the world a better place.  They are proud of their LGB or T parents who provided an opportunity they otherwise, may have never had…the opportunity to succeed without hate, intolerance or bigotry.

Right Wing Ostriches Bury Their Heads in the Sand

On NPR aired a segment this morning on George and Laura Bush’s return to “normalcy” after leaving The White House in less than a week.  They have purchased a 8500 square foot home in the Preston Hollow neighborhood in Dallas, Texas.  The new hood will become a gated community as secret service will be on watch 24/7.  The community is home for many prominent and wealthy Texans including Ross Perot, Dallas mayor Tom Leppert, Mark Cuban – owner of the Dallas Mavericks, former Dallas Cowboy Roger Staubach and billionaire T. Boone Pickens.

Now it doesn’t surprise me that the Bush’s are moving into a neighborhood where the old money of Texas lies, nor does it surprise me they paid $3 million for a house with an estimated value fo $2 million.  However, I do find the neighbor’s responses a little…well, naive, to say the least.  Perhaps it’s just they are thrilled they will now have extra protection through the U.S. Secret Service, but the largely Republican neighborhood has gone to great lengths to make sure the Bush’s feel welcome in their new home.  Community residents have had yard signs printed up saying “Welcome Home George and Laura”.  They also seem to think that George Bush was a “great” president.

This is the point I am trying to make.  The residents of Preston Hollow have collectively backed George W. Bush over the last 8 years and stated “they are extremely proud” of George and he has done a “fantastic Job as president”.  Instead of facing the realities of what the last 8 years has done to the economy and the reputation of this nation, these multi-million and billionaires content that “George has had some difficult decisions to make, but has always seemed to make the right ones.”   What?  HEEEELLLLLO?

George W. Bush has managed to demolish the wall of separation between church and state. He has entered us into a war that never should have been entered.  He has ruined the once great economy of this nation.  He has taken the surplus that Bill Clinton left this nation with and turned it into a colossal deficit, and he has made those countries who didn’t like America, hate America, and have turned many of our allies into foes. What good has come out the the Bush years? Well, let’s ask those on the Right. Faith-based funding for “ex-gay” and “anti-gay” religious groups. Tax cuts for the richest 1% of the nation. I guess if I were someone from the Right, I may be inclined to bury my head in the sand as well. After all, you don’t have to see the destruction if you keep your head in the dark!
