Cost-free moralism is the only type the right-wing "traditional marriage" movement believes in.
  • Family Values = Republican?

    The Idaho Family Values Association should have to forfeit any non-profit status that it now enjoys.

    "The Party, in the wake of the Mark Foley incident in particular, can no longer straddle the fence on the issue of homosexual behavior. Even setting Senator Craig's situation aside, the Party should regard participation in the self-destructive homosexual lifestyle as incompatible with public service on behalf of the GOP."

    Such statements identify them for what they are: a branch of the Republican Party masked as a non-partisan advocacy group.

    Some hypocrisy is to be expected in human society, but the holier-than-thou family values demagogues deserve anything that the Larry Flints of the world can dig up and publish about them.
