AFA's Bryan Fischer Attacks Native Americans - and Sarah Palin

One only need to follow the rantings of Bryan Fischer to quickly learn why the American Family Association ("AFA") was registered as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Indeed, it's a wonder that AFA hasn't been registered in categories in addition to that of being an anti-gay hate group. In his latest batshitery, Fischer attacks Native Americans and lambastes them for not excepting the Gospel message and states that they are "morally disqualified" from controlling American soil. In another rant, Fischer goes on a tirade against gays and Sarah Palin. Fischer certainly helps to connect the dots in my ongoing position that the far right Christianists are not only anti-gay by anti-all racial minorities. Meanwhile, if anyone is morally disqualified, its Fischer himself. He and haters like him will ultimately be the death of Christianity - or at least the foul, toxic version thereof peddled by AFA, CWFA, FRC and similar parasitic groups who prey on the ignorant and gullible. Here's a sampling of Fischer's anti-Native American rantings:
*
In all the discussions about the European settlement of the New World, one feature has been conspicuously absent: the role that the superstition, savagery and sexual immorality of native Americans played in making them morally disqualified from sovereign control of American soil.
*
International legal scholars have always recognized that sovereign control of land is legitimately transferred in at least three ways: settlement, purchase, and conquest. Europeans have to this day a legitimate claim on American soil for all three of those reasons.
*
But another factor has rarely been discussed, and that is the moral factor. In the ancient tradition of the Hebrews, God made it clear to Abraham that the land of Canaan was promised to his descendants. But he told Abraham the transfer of land to his heirs could not happen for 400 years, for one simple reason: “[T]he iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete” (Gen. 15:16). The Amorites, or Canaanite peoples, practiced one moral abomination after another, whether it was incest, adultery, sexual immorality, homosexuality, bestiality or child sacrifice, and God finally said “Enough!”
*
The native American tribes at the time of the European settlement and founding of the United States were, virtually without exception, steeped in the basest forms of superstition, had been guilty of savagery in warfare for hundreds of years, and practiced the most debased forms of sexuality.
*
The native American tribes ultimately resisted the appeal of Christian Europeans to leave behind their superstition and occult practices for the light of Christianity and civilization. . . . . It all came to nought, as one tribe after another rejected the offer of spiritual light and advanced civilization.
*
The continued presence of native American superstition was on full display at the memorial service for the victims of the Tucson shooter, when the “invocation” (such as it was) was offered by a native American who sought inspiration from the “Seven Directions,” including “Father Sky” and “Mother Earth,” rather than the God of the Bible. . . . . Time eventually ran out for the Canaanites, because they filled up the full measure of their iniquity. Time ran out for the native American tribes for the same reason.
*
As noted in a previous post, Sarah Palin - hardly one of my favorite political figures - has caught Hell from the Christo-fascists for her failure to condemn GOProud's involvement in this years CPAC coven of extremists. Fischer likewise takes aim at Palin and here are some snippets:
*
Sarah Palin will not attend this year’s CPAC, but it will not be because CPAC now supports the radical homosexual agenda. . . . She said it’s an example of “conservatives...reach(ing) out to others” and that GOProud’s participation is needed to “provide good information and balance, and...allow for healthy debate.”
*
But unfortunately, GOProud isn’t being invited to participate in a panel discussion over whether homosexual behavior is benign or a menace to human and social health. That would be one thing. They (GOProuders) instead are official participants, and thus granted license by organizers to use CPAC as a venue to promote their dangerous sexual agenda.
*
Perhaps Ms. Palin doesn’t understand GOProud’s role at CPAC. If so, she can walk these comments back when she finds out. Of greater concern is that she may well understand GOProud’s agenda, and its mission of destroying the institution of marriage through redefinition, and may still think it’s a wonderful idea to give them an honored place.
*
That would be alarming, because it would mean she simply does not understand the danger that homosexual activism represents to the family, the institution of marriage, the education of our children, and constitutional freedoms of religion, speech, press and association.
*
Palin has courted the haters of the far right and it's rather fun to see it some of them turn on her like rabid dogs.
