Can the "Religious Right" Be Any More Unrighteous?

To any normal (ie not a Major GOP spinmeister) person, the Mark Foley cover-up in Congress is about as pathetic and hypocritical as can be.

A GOP Congresspedophile stalks his high school prey for years, with the GOP leadership's knowledge, yet nothing is done about it. Meanwhile, as a party the GOP bashes the Democrats for being weak on morals for their support of equal treatment of gays and lesbians. The GOP cashes in on gay bashing, while secretly covering up their own pedophile members.

Seems almost too wild to be true? But sadly it is.

So at least you'd think the REAL social conservatives would stand up to right the wrongs of the GOP congressional leadership, right? Wrong.

James Dobson, the charlatan who claims to speak for the truly "religious", does his best to continue to cover-up the scandal for the GOP. I'm serious. Check this out. (No really, CHECK THIS OUT.) Makes you want to go take a shower doesn't it?

Can you believe it? "Sort of a joke by the boy"? A "prank"? If anyone thought that Dobson was truly a man of the cloth, just listen to that news clip again and again. Dobson, the same man who claimed SpongeBob was gay, is the lowest of the low. He is not a man of GOD; he is a man of the GOP.

So when will people of faith finally get it? You are being used. Your leaders care more about their power and a political party than your morals and beliefs. They would rather protect a pedophile than criticize the people who allowed him to go after teenagers year after year.

These people truly are the lowest of the low. And you follow them.

They are the same people who feed on your fears of the unknown - of gays and lesbians - and use them to make you give them money, give them your vote and give them your hearts. They don't give a damn about your soul. They only care about your wallet and your vote.

I cannot imagine that Dobson and his ilk go undamaged by this scandal. No matter how blindly you follow their hate speech, you have to wonder why they would rather cover-up a pedophile cover-up than represent your values.

I have to admit this makes me think of the fakers in my own state legislature. The legislators who speak of moral values, but cheat on their spouses. There are even rumors of a Capitol hooker that sees more than a few of our elected officials. Some are discrete about their affairs. Some are not. But they all lie when they get back home.

I have never been one for "outing" the hypocrites. I think it becomes a dirty business getting in the mud with the swine who enjoy it. But eventually someone has to call them out for the lying wonders they are.

A couple of years ago I was approached by someone who knew of a wealthy donor who wanted to hire a private investigator to follow around some of the bigger hypocrites. The person was willing to invest $25,000 to expose the lies of the legislators who faked family values. I convinced them it was a bad idea.

I have to admit if they approach me again I might be tempted to stay quiet.

My hope is that the far right has finally gone too far. Theirs lies and fake speech are finally being exposed for what they really are - ways to promote a political agenda. I just hope the payback comes in the next few weeks. Losing the majorities in Congress and the Legislature is a perfect payback for the truly unrighteous.
