		<description>I sure as hell hope that the Obama Administration is planning to EXPEL ALL UGANDA AMBASSADORS IMMEDIATELY if this bill passes in any way, shape or form. Kick them the hell out! And shut down their Embassy. Or it will become an international outlet for murderers to collect data on gay people whom they wish to catch, &quot;disappear&quot; and hang. Obama: are you gonna let murderers troll our streets of DC?? Our nation? They&#039;ve been very upfront about their plans. And people in DC: Are YOU ready to help protest their embassy if needed? I hope so. Because the fight isn&#039;t about marriage anymore…</description>

		<description>What can the men and women in our Congress do to actually make a difference in what happens in Uganda? I wish that instead of debating something they can do nothing about, they would use the same energy to act on something they CAN do something about -- namely, ending discrimination against gays in this country. What a bunch of hypocrites!</description>

		<description>Overheard in Dallas:

The Family is an anti-christian cult that exists to foster evil and exploitative commercialism world wide. Its long term sponsorship of the National Prayer Breakfast is a disgusting act of unbridled hypocrisy that deserves nothing but worldwide condemnation.

In the case of Africa, the Family&#039;s focus is the opening of the continent to a new wave of commercial exploitation by Family associates. To accomplish this, they have first seeded the poorest, most poorly educated, and most dependent communities with their fanatical antichristian doctrines, pretending to be liberators as they fasten the chains of a new, spiritual colonialism on Africa, from which slavery they hope the continent will never escape.

The Family’s approach to this goal is to cause men selected from their local antichristian cult to rise to prominence as national leaders, primarily by demagoguery of the uneducated and unsocialized community to win elections on divisive and irrelevant issues while they allow their commercial associates to plunder the nation’s resources.

Apparently, Rick Warren and Karl Rove hatched the idea to use near pan-African homophobia as the entering wedge issue to launch their men to power. Warren then undertook his personal antichristian adventure of spreading the word to Family agents embedded in the governments of the African states. One of these agents was David Bahati, in Uganda.

Apparently, Bahati bought Warren’s idea hook, line, and sinker, as they say. Not a believer himself, it appears Bahati was a mere opportunist who thought this too good an opportunity to pass up. A homosexual himself, with deep feelings of self-hatred, Bahati easily mustered the drive to outdo even Warren’s repulsive vision. Since Bahati wished himself dead, but lacked the courage to act on his denial of the truth, he projected his self-hatred onto the gay community and launched his promising political career on the sly and lying promises of Rick Warren and his own self-loathing.

Now, of course, Bahati finds himself one of, if not the most despised person on earth. He has brought shame and disgrace on Uganda, its people and government, creating a wave of disgust and horror that touches an entire continent. He has bet everything on what he thought was a fixed game, only to learn that Rick Warren was simply manipulating his trust for a purpose as false and antichristian as Bahati’s own. An uncomfortable bind as rampant hypocrisy comes back to bite its creator.

Now that it’s clear that Warren and Rove’s plan has backfired by calling attention to The Family’s interest in the development of pan-African homophobia, so that control has been taken over by people of direct political power—Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK) and Representative John Bozeman (R-AR). Apparently, these new bosses outlined a revised plan for homophobic exploitation at a very secret meeting at the Hilton the day before the NPB. Perhaps the most recent news from Uganda reflects this new tack.

Increasingly, Ugandan officials are adopting a defiant stance, claiming national sovereignty. This is, of course, absurd on the face of it. The rights at issue are inalienable human rights, granted by God, and no nation, no church, no school, no parent, no society, no corporation, and no person has the slightest scintilla of permission to deny these rights to any human being.</description>

		<description>Well that&#039;s nice. I&#039;m glad a bunch of them stood up and complined about the insane government of Uganda&#039;s plan to have its gay &amp; lesbian citizens hunted down, jailed and or murdered, but how about putting some teeth behind those words and threatening to cut off Uganda&#039;s foreign aid money. Then they can shine the light of truth on the conservative religious-right members of Congress (The Family members) here who put these idiots up to all this in the first place.</description>

		<description>A few of the specific &quot;offenses&quot; Uganda seeks to punish, from their legislation:

(d) the following will be considered illegal:

 - The offense of &quot;christian evangelism&quot;
 - Attempt to commit &quot;christian evangelism&quot;
 - Aggravated &quot;christian evangelism&quot;
 - Protection, assistance and payment of
   compensation to
   victims of &quot;christian evangelism&quot;
 - Aiding and abetting &quot;christian evangelism&quot;
 - Conspiracy to engage in &quot;christian evangelism&quot;
 - Procuring &quot;christian evangelism&quot; by threats, etc
 - Detention with intent to commit &quot;christian evangelism&quot;
 - Promotion of &quot;christian evangelism&quot;
 - Failure to disclose the offense of &quot;christian evangelism&quot;

OOPS! Sorry, I leaned on my keyboard wrong. Just swap the words &quot;Christian Evangelism&quot; for &quot;Homosexuality&quot;… that&#039;s who the murderers are chasing… my bad :D</description>
