The Bible is full of important life lessons and anecdotes, such as “sharing is good” and “love your neighbor” and “please stop complaining about bullies, you are being so whiny and gay right now.” (This is exactly what Jesus told the young leper boy, when the other schoolchildren made fun of his painful medical condition.) But for some reason California’s public schools teach children that bullying is rude — typical hippie homosexual indoctrination which is deeply insulting to Yahweh. Drop some knowledge on these degenerate liberals, weirdo wingnut lady “Rebecca Burgoyne” from the California Family Council!
“Nobody wants a child to be bullied,” [Burgoyne] acknowledges. “Nobody wants a child to [be] hurt. Most people say ‘Oh, great! We’re teaching our children not to bully each other’ — which is a good thing. But it’s being used instead to push the homosexual message.”
Nailed it. Q.E.D. [Right Wing Watch]

And Jesus looked down at the multitude and spake: Verily I say unto you, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man beat up an effeminate teenager because he suspecteth that teenager to be a faggot.
It's in the Bible.. somewehere, I'm pretty sure.
And Gabriel dideth blow his Rusty Trombone 'til the Berlin Wall crumbled. History Michelle Bachmann style.
Probably one of Paul's letters to the Corinthians, notorious bullies and gays.
I say, kick her fucking ass. Then, if she whines like the little bitch she is, we can call her a homo! What's sauce for the goose….
Doesn't it say some where in the Bible that women should shut the fuck up and make Jesus a sandwich.
Actually pretty close, except said by female-hating closet-case Paul.
So don't bully the Jebus freak kids, but please do continue to beat the crap out of the may or may not be gay kids.
What about the overlap between the groups? Is it okay to kick the ass of a future Ted Haggard?
Bullying Jebsus freak kids=persecution.
I thought Christian persecution meant when they did not get their way 100% of the time.
Eh…now you're just using psychology…oh sure, when they don't get EVERYTHING they want they whine and bitch and call us bullies and then complain to their daddies to make us stop (Republicans) but this isn't about whiny, effete christian fundies who can't handle being bullied…this is about suspected gay kids who can't handle being bullied…A TOTALLY different issue entirely!
Which message is that exactly?
That kids shouldn't bully kids that are or they think are gay; there should be an exemption in anti-bullying messages that it's OK if they're gay.
Didn't you hear, opposition to punching kids is part of the homosexual agenda. Also, Shariah.
Love thy neighbor….but in a strictly platonic way OK! PLATONIC!
The good old right wing. They support child abuse (calling it discipline). They support rape. They support torture. They support brutal dictators over democracy. They support domestic violence in North Dakota. Now they're in favor of bullying.
Basically, find something that no decent person could ever support and you'll find a right-winger who is in favor of that, usually self-righteously by pointing to some chapter in the Bible that says god wants it.
Srsly. From fine-tuning the definition of rape to inserting clauses that mitigate bullying, the GOP is doing their level-best.
Don't forget, they support theft from the poor by the rich.
some real american is going to leviti-cuss you out for that truthful blasphemy.
Note that there several glowing Biblical accounts of genocide.
And some of the stuff the likes of Pam Geller and John Bolton say about Muslims comes pretty fucking close to advocating genocide.
You forgot
Polandpro-Armageddon.Beck is amping it up lately like a Jehovah's Witness in 1974.
Oh god yes, and it's true, ANYTHING….any issue, too…like wingnuts who favor ending the civil rights act or cancelling women's suffrage and we've even got wingnuts who favor ending child labor laws and don't get them started on the greatness of mercury in the fish and pollution in the air! It's only a little carcinagenic dust ya hippy faggots!
I think at this point, it's safe to say if it's distasteful, mean and authoritarian and/or in some way involves disenfranchising or economically harming non-Wasps there are wingnuts groups 100% in favor of it. Oh and let's not forget the environment! who cares if 99% of all species die by us sticking with (to the fucking death!) outmoded energy extraction…this is 'merika, land of the fucking fairy tale and fingers-in-the-ears denial of science, too! I need a fucking drink….
What exactly is "the homosexual message?" Are they recruiting members now or something?
Typo. The writer meant "massage". Ask Ted Haggard about it.
This homosexual's message is "Fat men should wear bootleg jeans, they are slimming".
And no pleated pants.
Well this is a message I can get behind.
No horizontal stripes at all ever, also.
I hear you get a free toaster if you switch over.
Actually, the converter gets the toaster, not the convertee. Sorry! But as the converted, you will get a new-found love of acoustic guitar folk music and pets, or a fabulous sense of style and the motivation to go to the gym everyday, depending on your gender.
No no, toasters are so last season. This year's hot accessory is a lifesize blow-up John Thune doll.
The Few. The Proud. The Fabulous.®
Doesn't it have something to do about wearing white after labor day, and jeggins?
Wedgies push the homosexual agenda.
Swirlies too!
By the way, where's your lunch money?
Don't forget the dreaded Purple Nurple. Hell, is there anything gayer than that?
What about titty twisters? And hypos? And Hertz Donuts? And "Hey, what's that on your shirt"?
No, not at all–wedgies, nut-punching, titty-twisters, and Indian Rope Burns are all part of Jesus's plan to promote healthy heterosexual attitudes by keeping the weak in their place. After all, if the meek aren't oppressed, how can they hope to inherit the earth at some undefined point in the future?
What is really sad is that the wispy-bearded wusses of the Promise Keeper stripe go along with this shit to show the alpha goons that they are real men too.
And when you conmbine bullies and fags, God has a weenie roast like Sodom and Gamorrah. And then the righteous survivors – in this case Lot and his daughters – get drunk and fuck like heathens. For Jesus.
Sodom and Gomorrah portrayed as a weenie roast nearly made me fall out of my chair. I will be grateful for that image until I die.
Ms. Burgoyne has a point, as everyone knows the proper place for children to learn to respect homosexuals is when they are alone with their pastor.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
Except for those that try to prevent the bullying
of homosexuals
'cause that is totally gay.
Mathew, 12:14.
Have you ever noticed that no one ever quotes the gospels which are supposed to be what Jesus really said and did when condemning the gays? It's almost as if he never said anything on the subject. Luckily, "Christians" know more than Christ himself.
Paul's epistles are far more manly than that airy-fairy wimp Jesus.
Old Saul of Tarsus is responsible for many of the worst aspects of Christianity, injecting it with his hatred of women, gays and sex in general.
I've learned to despise Paul more by the years. I can't get over the Christians I've known that seem to one to bring back his fundamentalist version of Christianity. I don't even want to call it fundamentalist, because his Christianity isn't the fundamentals that Jesus taught.
But, then again, he was born-again…the very worst kind of Christian.
As Ted Haggard said, you've gotta harden it up with some Paul.
My lovely but overbearing mother will kick my ass when she finds out I only got a B+ in the Homosexual Massage class. This summer she'll probably ship me off to Ms. Wanda Cox Jazz-Tap summer camp for Fabulous Boys.
Is the Homosexual Massage class taught by Ted Haggard's rentboy?
i would take your lunch money, but that coin purse is too fabulous.
Burgoyne?
Isn't that a gay name?
i believe it's actually the word for one of the 'gayest' acts imaginable – To "Burgoyne" is to DVR Fox Sunday while at church with your resentful family
It's French, so, yeah, same thing.
You should just let Burgoynes be Burgoynes.
Apparently they need to think of the bullies. If they can't pick on the weak, the gay or the intelligent then who can they pick on?
Each other?!
Large vicious Rottweilers. Yes, that's who they should pick on. Or Dick Cheney.
There's a difference?
Is that what you think of yourselves? The only bulllying seems to be coming from the progressive left with unions, activists, terrorists, "community organizations"…
I guess your still working on the theory that if you say a lie big enough and often enough, that mot matter how outrageous, it will be believed. That chapter has been discovered.
"WHY ARE YOU PICKING ON ME??!" I can't help it if you're too stupid to figure it out.
Awwww. just like the crybaby bullies I put on the ground bleeding after I, a small weak kid at the time, had enough.
No one should be bullied, but it happens.
I suppose your are insinuating I am a bully? I somehow doubt your claim about putting anyone on the ground.
I agree no one should be bullied but they are not all victims. Not all victims are weak, gay or intelligent (which is my point). My intelligence is not in question, however yours…
When they resort to name calling, you've won.
Why defend them then? Why should bullies be protected? If they're repentant fine. If not, well, I don't really care.
As someone who can tell the difference between the simple contraction You're (for you are) and your, I don't think you have much to worry about people questioning your (it's not YOU're) intelligence. I don't need to.
No, when bullies leave you alone, you've won.
Yeah, one is simply appalled at the sheer numbers of evangelicals that are assaulted over there deviant lifestyle.
It simply must occur so often that outside of the Westboro Baptist folks, I seem to never read or hear of any cases.
But I guess you are still working on that theory that if you lie often enough, it will be believed. Maybe you should try to wear a Halloween "pimp" costume when you try it as it seems to add a credibility with your pals over at Big Foolishness.
Sounds as though your a bully. More attacks have occurred on Jews, but I guess only gays and the weak can be bullied. Maybe people have been taught to be overly sensitive. They start to look outward for their shortcomings instead asking from within themselves first. It becomes a crutch and worse a tool for some.
It's You're not your.
It sounds as though I am a bully because you can not take a small fraction of the crap you dish out?
Maybe you should evaluate your posting here if a straightforward response to your clear trolling hurts your feelings so much.
Also, you "forgot" to actually respond to what I posted. Well, let me just be blunt, you know I am correct and have not actual refutation outside of trying to change the subject. I clearly mentioned how Christians are not bullied in this country outside of the Westboro Baptist deviants.
The Texas curriculum says:
Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but they seem to be saying that school bullies are being used by the gay rights conspiracy as recuiting tools, indoctrinating our precious sissies into becoming sexual predators. Finally, a right wing nutjob who makes sense!
Bingo, and thanks for translating the cryptic thought processes of the morans.
If a group puts the word 'Family' in its title, they're pretty much going to be bullying someone.
Oh! Do you remember that episode of Family Matters episode where Laura walks in on Steve Urkel jerking off to gay porn at the exact moment that he's blowing his load all over Laura's monitor? And then he's like "Did I do that?" And then Carl Winslow smacks Steve Urkel across the face for being such a bitch-ass queer??
God, that show was hilarious.
"Nobody wants a child to be bullied," she acknowledges, "unless he's a fucking faggot. Then it's game ON."
Rebecca Burgoyne would be glad to tell little boys not to be bullies, if only there was a way to do it without simultaneously insisting that they get fucked by old men.
or priests.
Its not rape when your bullying a fag. You got a purty mouth, faggot, I think you ought to pray for me, with that purty mouth.
They say "pigs is pigs". And the wingnuts never pass up on a chance to prove it's true.
this is gay.
Apparently, hate is not equal to love. Love is much, much worse than hate. Unless it's consensual. The hate, that is.
I'm confused. If I want to punch Thune in the face because he says he hates gays even though he probably is gay himself does that make me gay, a closeted Christian or just an asshole with violent tendencies? Because I could live with the gay thing.
Look inside yourself. The answer is there.
Every time one of these closet cases opens their herpes-riddled mouth and spews this crap I want to put on a rainbow bikini and red glitter heels and make out with a woman. Not because I'm a lesbian, but just because I know the women of the Repressed Right will be horrified, and their men will have stiffies that they'll cry over later while wanking to gay porn.
What is your website again?
http://bachmann.house.gov/
It would also have the helpful side benefit of being wicked hawt. You know, in an enlightened, liberating kind of way.
Ummmm, errrrrr, male Wonketters give this idea one million thumbs up.
We are all homo sapiens now.
I have to disagree. Some of us are clearly Cro Magnon.
This is good news for Pete Shelley.
Jesus has two daddies!! Holy fuck, I can't stop. Oh shit. BRB. Am embarrassing self at work.
Yeah, if you find yourself in a situation where someone is railing against gay marriage/gay adoption, "Jesus had two dads and he turned out OK" is usually guaranteed to end or escalate the confrontation.
So, basically, they right wing admits that the only way they can get people to agree with them is if they bully them into it?
More than that. They're saying bullying is perfectly OK if you're doing it to combat an "unhealthy lifestyle." OK, I can get behind that. Next time you see someone cramming a downer-burger into his gaping maw, go ahead and smash a chair over his head. Be sure to say "Jesus loves you" when you do it, though, or technically it's assault.
The Homosexual Agenda: Please don't beat the shit out of us.
Now, in fairness, some homosexuals (and some heterosexuals also) have no problems with that.
You're not going to try to cram this down our throats?
Some would like the populace to believe that. It more like every other established special interest group they want revenge or to to looked upon as special, deserving more than the average. Equality has nothing to do with it.
I am sure you have some proof of this gay revenge scheme that you are merely holding back because it would blow our minds.
Fourteen years ago, one of my cousin's recounted for me, fleeing from a 16 year old schoolmate, Evan Ramsey, armed with a Mossberg 12-gauge shotgun at Bethel Regional High School. She lost her shoe, and she worried about getting it back on, cause you are supposed to be wearing shoes, not running for your life before class starts. . .he killed the Principal and a student, one of Evan's most unapologetic bullies.
Can you understand how much I appreciate our fucking former half-term co-Governor Sarah Palin's rhetoric of reloading?
Understandably, sixteen year old Cassie Bernall's mother could not help but turn her daughter's senseless death into an act of a young Christian martyrdom, by building up the myth that she did not 'deny' her faith in the face of atheist questioning by Columbine mass murderer, Dylan Klebold.
Culture Warriors like Sarah Palin and Rebecca BeGone need to take their tough girl acts on the road outside the Christian bubble and see what they are made of in the face of criticism, or as they would interpret it, "bullying" by even the most calm and reasoned of the public.
And The Homosexual Message is…?? Wait, did they remix the Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five classic?
"A fag is born with no state of mind, gay to the ways of mankind…"
Homosexual message = "Stop bullying us." Duh.
Excuse me, could you give me a big slice of crazy talk? Thank you Rebecca Burgoyne.
The California Family Association knows the awesome power of the bully pulpit.
What, exactly, is the "homosexual message?" Is it a thing, like the Zapruder film or a manifesto, like the Communist Manifesto or an event, like the Dreyfus Affair?
You can only communicate the homosexual message through tap dancing, preferably where the acoustics are good, like in a men's room..
Is there something in the water in REAL America? Jeezus Macaca, Republicans have practically been reduced to running in circles hollering "Kill, kill." I hope someone beats the shit out of this bitch, and all her kids. Sorry. Sometimes I just gotta do that. Fucking cunt.
"As caring adults, we wouldn’t wish these offenses on anyone, though oddly there may be some developmental benefits"
May Rebecca have a developmentally beneficial beating!
You should try her Rebecca Bourguignon recipe! Instead of slowly tenderizing the beef for hours in red wine, you just beat the shit out of it.
It's difficult, no, impossible to snark about something as totally fucked-in-the-head as this stuff is. Bullying is a terrible and real thing going on every day in our schools and neighborhoods and all of us should be on the job to overcome it in the best way we know how. People who minimize or condone bullying need to be ignored if they can't be corrected.
I'd suggest substituting "scorned" for ignored in that last sentence. Or maybe "shunned." Probably not "liquidated," I guess.
Trying to be civil, not easy for me; esp. considering the topic.
These turdblossoms obviously used Fred Phelps and Westboro Baptist Church as their theological consultants.
As the manly testosterone filled action hero once said
"Saturday night is all right for fighting"
In her defense, Ms. Burgoyne is opposed to forcible bullying.
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Or just really fucks you up for life, or leaves you permanently disfigured, or maybe beaten into a coma. It's sort of a toss-up.
But sure, there could be benefits. After all, if that hiker hadn't had to slice off his own arm, he never would have gotten a book and movie deal, and if it weren't for Hurricane Katrina, some poor people would never have gotten to meet Barbara Bush.
If it wasn't for Hiroshima, the Japanese wouldn't have thought up Godzilla and all those other giant monsters. OK, I see how this is played.
Thus, oddly, there are developmental benefits to being anally raped in your private confirmation class as well, so long as a parent helps the child through it.
I read the lady's article and I'm confused – is it okay to pick on the gays or not?
I couldn't have said it better myself, Ms. Burgoyne. Thanks, God, for paranoid wingnut zealots or we would be overrun with polite, effeminate schoolchildren in no time.
when i was growing up in a good white people mostly christian suburb, i remember a lot of random instruction from various centers of authority (church, parents, schools, social orgs) about how making fun of people – even for wearing a really ugly sweater – was totally unacceptable.
why can't we have these nice things?
Because people like you always take things to far and start applying these principles to people who are NOT members of the country club.
The religious freaks like it when the softer children get bullied, then they can console them in their arms and slowly convince them not to tell anyone when they buttseks the poor kid.
Next thing you know, GOPers will try to repeal hate-crime legislation
From the Book of Dweezil 3:36 – 38
"… and Jesus picked up his books and Lemuel smote them from his hands. And Jesus picked up his books, and Lemuel smote them from his hands again. Thrice Jesus picked up his books, and thrice Lemuel smote them from his hands.
And Jesus said upon raising his volumes, Verily I say unto ye, for ye are not gay and are therefore worthy of me, ye shall not seek a consort in mediation, and with your not-gay soul ye shall be pleased."
Homosexual massage? Count me in.
I like my therapists cute and my endings happy.
Amazing what you can encounter in the right wing press these days.
Well, why not? After all, bleeding-hearts who want to reduce bullying of developmentally disabled kids are pushin' the 'tard agenda.
*sigh* What is WRONG with these people?
I don't know, but one sad aspect of the internet, is that it gives them a place to congregate.
You know I really hate these people with a white hot passion. Though I could get behind a good public mocking of Ms Burgoyne and the rest of them.
Respect is so fucking ghey….
Bitch, please! I AM the homosexual agenda!
That cunt.
I hope she's related to Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne, because we kicked his ass at Saratoga and he went on to write plays after that.
(That's as close as I can get to this subject of bullying making you gay. Sorry.)
"We’re teaching our children not to bully each other"
Is she saying we are teaching our children to bugger each other?
Didn't Ted Haggard pay to receive the homosexual massage? Ooooohhh, you said "message." Never mind.
There's no way the doofus in this picture is boning that chick:
http://www.californiafamilycouncil.org/sites/cali...
But they sure named the .jpg correctly – WebsiteFamilyPhotoWhite3.jpg
White3 indeed.
Where did you get that picture? That can't be real.
Found it looking at their website. It's good to know even geeks like that can get some. America, what a country!
Jesus facepalmed.
Oh, you mean he heard the stupid thing Schumer said about the "3 branches of government" too?
Hey, at least ol' Chuckie didn't claim that he was a fourth, separate, branch fo government, and therefore not bound by restrictions on any of previous branches we were aware of.
One finds silver linings where one can.
What? We're using the Anti-Bullying message now? Geez, ya miss one meeting. My Gay Agenda is filling up faster than I can get to it.
"Moderation in all things! If you're going to be uncivil, cruel, and dehumanizing to people, just do it to the homos (who aren't really people, just ambulatory sins), and perhaps they'll learn a useful life lesson!"
I am thinking that way back when, all the good Christians must have been fed to the lions, and all we're left with are these fucked up mutated ones, anymore.
For their own good.
This Family Jesus Council cries 24-7 about how their religion is persecuted around the world yet now backs off Anti-Bullying in general?
You are correct. "you are" may even have been better but, we are not writing literature here. I am sure on the Reagan article you corrected the writer when he spelled it "Regan". Excellent job of skirting the point though. Play dodge-ball much? Those who can do, those who can't spell and grammar check.
Curious, isn't name calling considered bullying? Sounds as though you have been bullied a time or two what's that about?
I'm not going to play big brother to glamourdammerung. He/she can defend him/herself.
Now you're changing the subject. Speaking of dodgeball.
I already mentioned it above because I was a small wimpy foreign semi intelligent kid in a rural area. Easy to be a target since I stood out (when they saw me.) Get with it, buddy.
Why so defensive? Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me. That's what the big kids said after they bloodied my lip or tripped me in the hall way.
BTW, I'd still like to know why you're defending them?
So it is OK for you the "victim" to use name calling;
Your post:
"I can't help it if you're too stupid"
it's only bad when it affects your ideals? Not sure how you deciphered defensiveness out of my post, it was my polite way of pointing out the hypocrisy.
Not defending them, just keeping it fair and balanced. Everyone jumps to the extreme when the truth is somewhere in the middle.
Is the subject bullying or grammar?
I apologize, if I come across as being offended by any of your comments. I was just stating the obvious. Exactly what "crap" are you referring to? I have stated fact, I can and will back it up.
Trolling? Colorful metaphor, but i am not a troll. Again my feelings are not affected, I have my big boy pants on.
Yes, Christians have been bullied. From y childhood and long before that. Girls are ridiculed for their conservative dress, pressured out of those dresses by those bullying them. Boys having bibles knocked out of their hands into the mud. You do not have to wonder where the term "preachers daughter" comes from. Boys in the choir harassed.The Sunday best soiled by those who mock and bully them. Today, it is even worse. Maybe it is so much the bullying as it is the reaction to it.
I guess only blacks can know racism and LGBT's are the only ones that can know bullying. It is always greener on the other side.
He always tries to change the subject. Xtians are the majority in US America and he's crying about it.
Like talking to a brick wall.
Neither. Why are YOU DEFENDING BULLIES?
Why bother reply to a stupid comment I made then if you didn't get all defensive about it?
I'm not saying RWers aren't the victims of violence. They can be, but I don't see stories about them committing suicide.
As for my ideals… well. Your post states and I quote: The only bulllying seems to be coming from the progressive left with unions, activists, terrorists, "community organizations"…
Really? I'm not saying unions are perfect, but is it any better than bullying by employers? Or the rich? Why lump terrorists into this? If you're as fair and as balanced as you claim then you should have said "The left can be assholes too." I probably wouldn't have replied. But the fact that you try to lump everyone in the same pot shows that you aren't really trying to think at all. I calls it read. Even if you had left out the word "terrorist" I might not be ready to call you an dummy. If you want some kind of debate then fine. If you want to lump some people I happen to support as "terrorists" then there is no debate.
I do not see much difference with unions as the corporate greed and bullying the once stood against. They (the union leadership) have sold out the worker. As far as lumping all together, it is like a woven fabric, you can not just analyze a single strand in a vacuum and presume to know it's interaction with the rest of the piece.
PS
Excerpt from your post:
"I calls it read"
"call you an dummy"
Those who live in glass houses.
Oh yeah. Union bosses are the real winners as 90% of the gains in income went the last 10 years went to the top 1% which is the CEOs. I'd say corprat (sic) bullying >>> union bullying because they won. The unions are basically impotent.
Yup, you got me. I can't spell either.
Balancing it out, being overly sensitive is just as bad as being overly bullied. Bullying argument will be twisted just like PC and be used to shut down debate and opposing opinions. The definition of bullying will morph and creep. Another tool in the progressive toolbox.
