As Supreme Court victories in both the Prop. 8 and DOMA cases look increasingly likely, the Religious Right is ratcheting up its attacks on the ‘homosexual’ agenda in an effort to slow the inevitable march of progress. On Wednesday, retired Lt. Gordon Klingenschmit in an email to members of the Pray in Jesus Name project issued another salvo against same-sex marriage by warning its members that they “must become “the voice” of the ‘abused kids’ raised by same-sex parents, who are not only recruited into but used as pawns for the homosexual agenda.”
Klingenschmit was deconstructing an argument that swing-vote Justice Anthony Kennedy had made during oral arguments for Prop. 8 that, “There are some 40,000 children in California who live with same-sex parents, and they want their parents to have full recognition and full status. The voice of those children is important in this case.”
In his response, Klingenschmit, using language that members of anti-gay extremist groups find appropriate, remarked, “No, Justice Kennedy, those abused children really wanted one mom and one dad, they just didn’t know better having been misled by California judges who impose homosexual parents upon innocent kids, against their will, and against the will of California voters.”
Klingenschmit continued his tortured logic by insisting that we are “not satisfied with homosexualizing the military, or forcing gay “marriage” in states like New York, radical homosexuals testified on Capitol Hill demanding homosexual “bonus pay” with more than 1,100 federal benefits that reward their acts of sodomy in all 50 states, taxing heterosexuals more to pay homosexuals to engage in immorality.”
You will recall that Lt. Gordon Klingenschmit was court-martialed from the U.S Military for, among other things, wearing his uniform at protests in front of the White House, for invoking the name of Jesus at military events where non-Christian soldiers were attending and for arguing that he was the victim of religious persecution, claims that were utterly and irrefutably dismissed. Despite almost universal condemnation by members of the religious clergy for the U.S. Military (including some of the most conservative denominations), Klingenschmit did appear with Vice-President Cheney one year during a Conservative Action Political Committee (CPAC) forum, an irony which many in attendance failed to grasp.
