Anti-Bullying Policies are a Gay Conspiracy, Says Mega Church
Ultra-conservative Christian mega business ministry Focus on the Family wants all these gay people to stop talking about child bullying, because they're pushing a secret agenda to turn America's kids into homosexuals, and that is not what Jesus intended.

The church's "education expert" Candi Cushman told The Denver Post that the gays have infiltrated the public discourse on bullying in America, and this just isn't fair to God-fearing Christians: "We feel more and more that activists are being deceptive in using anti-bullying rhetoric to introduce their viewpoints, while the viewpoint of Christian students and parents are increasingly belittled." And while Cushman believes in bullying prevention, she says, "this issue is being hijacked by activists. They shouldn't be politicizing or sexualizing the issue of bully prevention."

Luckily for parents, Cushman also runs a site called TrueTolerance, which aims to show parents how they can fight the onslaught of gays in America and to keep their own children on the straight and narrow. Are you a concerned parent in search of answers to your kids sex-related questions? Then watch this video (video at link here -- meegbear) and send some money to Focus on the Family, of course only if you want to (all major credit cards accepted).

Focus on the Family was founded on the 70's by Dr. James C. Dobson, who once offered these tips on raising a fine young American boy:

Meanwhile, the boy's father has to do his part. He needs to mirror and affirm his son's maleness. He can play rough-and-tumble games with his son, in ways that are decidedly different from the games he would play with a little girl. He can help his son learn to throw and catch a ball. He can teach him to pound a square wooden peg into a square hole in a pegboard. He can even take his son with him into the shower, where the boy cannot help but notice that Dad has a penis, just like his, only bigger.

Yeah.

8. Well, you first have to believe that "focus on the family" is actually a church.

2. What is Focus on the Family other than a group who
wants to bully us with their ideas and beliefs.

6. Just so I have this "straight"
Quoth the article: "He can even take his son with him into the shower, where the boy cannot help but notice that Dad has a penis, just like his, only bigger."

Hmmm..... Comparing penis size in the shower with little Johnny. These guys are AGAINST gays?!?

11. Get knifed, you fucking GOP whores.
Buncha child beating and perversion advocates jumping on the "bullying builds character" bandwagon. Bitch motherfuckers.

I, for real, could not be in the same proximity as someone who bullied me. It'd be a massacre on some pasty, doughy, out-of-shape bastards. Their idea of "building character" was my reality of getting a life ruined. I couldn't concentrate, I hated and was frightened of school, I hated authority figures for not helping me, my grades plummeted, I almost didn't get into college and I couldn't get a career path because I was academically atrocious in everything.

I had to settle on what I hated the least instead of doing something I loved for a living. All because of constant dick-dodging.

12. Dobson is one sick mofo


I mean, really, really sick in the head. But he's shrewd as well, which is why he lives "just like jesus would" in the lap of luxury.

He uses his Bully Pulpit, literally, to manipulate people with fear and hatred for "them."

And suckers buy his crap and vote accordingly.
