American Family Association Official Has New Target.....

[walksalone11]

"Bryan Fischer, the director of issue analysis for government and public policy at the American Family Association (AFA), has expanded his astounding bigotry to include not just Muslims and LGBT people, but Native Americans as well.

In a post published Monday on the Rightly Concerned blog – a project of the AFA – Fischer railed on native peoples for not being Christian, claiming it’s their own fault that they lost their land and were forced onto reservations to cope with terrible living conditions.

“Superstition, savagery and sexual immorality” morally disqualified Native Americans from “sovereign control of American soil,” Fischer said. That, plus the superior battle skills of Europeans gave the latter “rightful and legal sovereign control” of American land through what he delicately described as “the right of conquest.” Fischer went on to blame poverty and alcoholism on Indian reservations on Native Americans themselves, because they “continue to cling to the darkness of indigenous superstition” and refuse to come into “the light of Christianity” and assimilate “into Christian culture.”

Don't you just love the Southern Poverty Law Center?  I want to be Morris Dees when I grow up.

But, yeah, there are some people whose parents should never have encouraged them to learn to talk, because the gibberish they spew as adults makes no more sense than what toddlers say...at least toddlers are cute.  There is part of me that wonders what "darkness" he views in what he calls "indigenous superstition" and a bigger part of me that says even calling attention to his hate spewing gets his word out farther, and that is the least thing this country needs.

What the world needs now is love, y'all, not prejudice.
