The followers of Republican Supply Side Jesus love to hate.  He is not the real Jesus.  He is a Theocon invention  to justify their false gospel of war, bigotry, greed, and intolerance.  Whenever their hatred produces consequences, they act innocent, often blaming the victims of their hatred.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"supplysid\" Back in August, Focus on the Family launched <\/a>\u201cTrue Tolerance,\u201d its campaign to stop schools from implementing anti-bullying plans that include protections for LGBT students<\/strong>. Since the start of the school year, there have now been five reported cases<\/a> of teens who have committed suicide following anti-gay bullying. GLSEN has been documenting anti-gay bullying, and according to a 2009 survey<\/a>, the vast majority of LGBT students reported being verbally harassed, and \u201c40.1% reported being physically harassed and 18.8% reported being physically assaulted at school in the past year because of their sexual orientation<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Focus on the Family, however, says that bullying isn\u2019t the problem, anti-bullying policies are<\/font><\/strong>. The group\u2019s True Tolerance [Pseudo-Christians delinked] campaign argues that school strategies to target bullying are really covert ways for \u201cactivists who want to promote homosexuality in kids\u201d to \u201ccapture the hearts and minds of our children at their earliest stages.\u201d<\/p>\n

Candi Cushman of True Tolerance asserts [pseudo-Christians delinked] that \u201cgay activists\u201d are \u201cinfiltrating classrooms under the cover of \u2018anti-bullying\u2019 or \u2018safe schools\u2019 initiatives.\u201d That\u2019s why Focus on the Family claims to be defending <\/a>the \u201cinnocence and purity\u201d of children against LGBT groups that conspire \u201cunder the cover of so-called safe-school initiatives\u201d and use [pseudo-Christians delinked] \u201c\u2018Safety\u2019\u2026 as a political arm-twisting tool to force an adult agenda into schools.\u201d [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

How absurd!  Their logic that the policies to stop the bullying causes the bullying is analogous to having the resurrection precede the crucifixion.  This is nothing more than a desperate attempt to duck accountability for their own criminal anti-Christian behavior.<\/font><\/p>\n

Furthermore, this rush to evade accountability is not exclusive to the Theocon wing of the Republican Party.  The Neocon, Corporacon, Plutocon and InsaniTEA wings are equally at home with it, as Rachel Maddow aptly demonstrates.<\/font><\/p>\n
