Leftist Web Site Writer Blasts Traditional Values Coalition
Leftist Web Site Writer Blasts Traditional Values Coalition

April 21, 2005 -- Homosexual activist and tenured Penn State Professor Mel Seesholtz sees Traditional Values Coalition and other religious organizations as a major threat to freedom in the United States. Seesholtz is a contributing writer for “Online Journal,” a “progressive” web site (progressive is a leftist code word for socialist).

In “Democracy perverted, justice denied; The unholy march toward theocracy,” Seesholtz says that the Traditional Values Coalition is attempting to bring the judiciary under the control of the religious right. According to Seesholtz, the judiciary is the “only independent branch of government that would thwart their plans to theocratize America. Hence the fanatical campaigns to remake the judiciary ‘in their own image’ and by any means necessary.”

Writing in “Counterbias” on April 6, 2005, Seesholtz accuses TVC and other groups of engaging in “American StupidSpeak” (ASS). According to Seeholtz, “The Traditional Values Coalition is a veritable paragon on ASS. Last summer they teamed up with a group of ultra-conservative clergy to damn homosexuality, same-sex marriage and gay people not only because that was ‘God’s will,’ but also to ‘debunk’ the claim by gays and lesbians that their fight for the legal right to a civil marriage is a ‘civil rights’ issue.”

Pray for Mel Seesholtz. If you wish to contact him, his email address is: mcs2@psu.edu. Please be polite but don’t expect a polite response.

1. TVC was originally funded by RevMoon. It's a Moonie front group.
Scratch the surface of any fundie and you'll find a Moonie underneath.

8. I believe so (in essence).
When I pray for you - I'm really sending positive energy your way so that you can achieve your goals the way you want to; I don't think that is their intention.

Or maybe it's: "pray we, the Borg, can absorb him; he will have no more free will.'

4. Is it worth it so send him supportive emails?
Or does he just have enough to deal with?
