Yeah, I know Hannity and Coulter didn't call for civil disobedience - talk about fun with Windows Moviemaker! What a joy to see their heads explode!
Yes, heads are exploding,there is great wailing and gnashing of teeth (dentists: be on the ready), and rending of Walmart
From Right Wing Watch:
In anticipation of the upcoming Supreme Court ruling, we've compiled a video of the Right's most dire warnings about a potential decision striking down gay marriage bans, including self-proclaimed "prophet" Cindy Jacobs' fear that gay marriage will lead to natural disasters; preacher Scott Lively predicting a devastating "calamity"; Glenn Beck turning into the anti-gay version of Martin Luther King, Jr.; Tony Perkins calling for a revolution against gay marriage; and Pat Robertson, well, being Pat Robertson.
That's right - Glen Beck will be the next Martin Luther King, Jr!
As will Mike Huckabee, Tony Perkins, Rick Santorum, Ted Cruz ... all the people
who absolutely detest the Supreme Court for being so dastardly as to
"redefine" marriage. They will lead demonstrations, sit-downs and
marches.
Just what city, they'll pick to define their Selma moment is yet to be
determined. Charleston? Maybe. After all, same-sex marriage has been blamed for
everything, why not use Charleston as a starting point? They could dare to be
outrageous and pick San Francisco, but the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence
might spoil it by turning it into a fundraiser for the AIDS Emergency Fund.
The Civil Disobedience Schtick
The Southern Baptist Convention closed out this week's annual meeting by issuing a formal call for civil disobedience against same-sex marriage. The statement was issued jointly by current SBC president Ronnie Floyd and 16 former SBC presidents.
However, the SBC has riled its base by trying to ban the Confederate flag instead of the rainbow flag. Not good timing. And a bit confusing for some of the good ole boys who still believe that Jesse Helms was really God.
It's The Stupid Martyrdom, Stupid!
E.W. Jackson:
I don't know what's going to happen to us for the stand that we're taking, but I think I can say for every one of us, we will give our lives standing for the truth.
In the early days of Christianity, martyrdom
was considered the fast track to heaven and some people actually sought it out
for themselves. After people kept avidly feeding themselves to lions
(rhetorically), Christian leaders put a stop to the practice. Legitimate
martyrdom became while self-induced martyrdom became, well, stupid. The
brouhaha over homosexuals getting married has resulted in a martyrdom of the
Christian Right's own making, causing it to look very, very foolish.
