Fresh Air: Jeff Sharlet reports the Family behind Ugandan homosexual death penalty law.

[bushmeister0]

Article on the law from Alternet:

"The Anti-Homosexuality Bill under consideration in Uganda was sparked by a conference in Kampala earlier this year at which fundamentalist Christians from the U.S. identified homosexuality as a threat to 'family values'. The draconian law will institute the death penalty for 'aggravated homosexuality' and criminalize human rights work."

Sharlet reports for the first time today on Fresh Air that he has evidence the Family (the same people behind the Pitts/Stupak bill) is directly behind the law. The legislator behind the law is actually a high ranking member of the Family.

1. Can the organization be held and charged with murders if they

occur? These organizations need to be crushed they are the US version of Al Queda!! They are dangerous.

2. Sharlet said the Family feels that when jesus comes back

he won't be taking sides -- democrats versus republicans -- he'll be taking over. They feel democracy doesn't work for jeebus.

8. We should send this to Chris Matthews

He was defending the family on his show. He had the author of the book that infiltrated the family on his show and Matthews phoo-phooed the book and the author. Perhaps this will change his mind. I like it when Matthews finds out that he has been deceived--he generally won't let go of that bone. :)

10. The Family is a construct which grants very egotistical men

phoney powers and annointment, offers a big fat get-out-of-jail-free card with regard to moral, decent behavior as its central doctrine, and totally violates U.S. tax law, to boot.

Hey, Republican'ts: Nice cult ya got there!

11. Aggravated Homosexuality
