FRC’s Tony Perkins: Forcing A Religious Theme Park To Hire Non-Christians Is Like Making “Muslim groceries to hire pig farmers”.

Family Research Council President and Grand Dragon Tony Perkins today once again today lashed out on the imaginary “war on Christians” complaining that Answers in Genesis  who own the Creationist Museum in Kentucky had  been turned down for around $18 million in state tax incentives for its new Noah’s Ark Theme Park  aka The Ark amid concerns that it will promote religion and violate the separation of church and state after being caught having a “Christians only” hiring practice.

“At a new Kentucky theme park, Christians are the ones getting taken for a ride. Construction is already underway in Williamstown for a one-of-a-kind tourist attraction by our friends at Answers in Genesis (AiG). The organization behind the Creation Museum is working on a built-to-scale Ark Encounter — but so far, all they’ve encountered is intolerance. The state had given AiG the thumbs up on its application last fall, which triggered some outcry from anti-faith groups. Almost immediately, they swooped into Kentucky and started making noise about the rebate, demanding that it be retracted. Why? Because AiG dares to hire people who share their beliefs on creation. And as a religious organization, that’s entirely within both state and federal law. Do we force animal rights groups to hire hunters? No. Or Muslim groceries to hire pig farmers? Of course not. So why is Ham’s group being targeted? Constitutional questions aside, with as many as 700,000 people expected at the Ark each year, the benefits for Kentucky far outweigh any perceived slights in hiring policy.

Tony PerKKKins says it best: “Constitutional questions aside…” That’s it in its own words.

Why America Is FUCKED! – Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) Explains His View Of Science

 

“All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell. And it’s lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior. You see, there are a lot of scientific data that I’ve found out as a scientist that actually show that this is really a young Earth. I don’t believe that the Earth’s but about 9,000 years old. I believe it was created in six days as we know them. That’s what the Bible says.  What I’ve come to learn is that it’s the manufacturer’s handbook, is what I call it.  It teaches us how to run our lives individually, how to run our families, how to run our churches. But it teaches us how to run all of public policy and everything in society. And that’s the reason as your congressman I hold the holy Bible as being the major directions to me of how I vote in Washington, D.C., and I’ll continue to do that.” – Right-Wing LOON  Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA), speaking at Liberty Baptist Church.

In a sane world, in a civilized society, this man would be disqualified for life from holding or running for any public office. His existence as a United States Representative scares me and the people who voted for him into office scares me even more.

And of course he’s a raging homophobe who wants to re-introduce a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in the wake of recent votes and court decisions legalizing the practice in at least five states.

Oh did I mention that he’s a DOCTOR?!
