Hate Is NOT a Family Value.

<==== This Man is a Bigot. Just so we're all together on that. That's Don Wildmon founder and chairman of the hate group American Family Association.

Masquerading as a Christian family group, it is simply a pulpit to preach hate and lead an anti-gay crusade to take the simple right to live in peace and have a loving relationship and family away from a group of people. That's not very Christian, Don.

So not only is our pal Don a bigoted, persecuting, hatemonger, he's also apparently delusional.

In an article he's written for Agape Press he is claiming that the "homosexual ties" is taking the Ford Motor Company "downhill." He is also putting the credit for this squarely at the feet of Ford's so-called support of "homosexual and liberal causes" and the ensuing boycott of Ford by his AFA members. You can read the full article here.

Apparently he says "...the sales slump the company is now experiencing is a direct result of its decision to continue promoting a family-unfriendly, pro-homosexual agenda." I'm sure that he would like to believe this. And I am also sure that the board members at Ford got together and tried to think of the most family-unfriendly maneuver they could make and this was the result. I would love to hear how being a homosexual or supporting their right to live as others do has any impact at all on any family. The only thing anti-family is teaching and preaching hate, which leads to conflict and anger and family dissolution, not the other way around.

But let's also be honest, the real reason Ford is having financial problems has nothing whatsoever to do any support of anyone. The real reason Ford is failing (along with most other U.S. car makers) is three fold. One, gas prices are at an all time high meaning Ford's heavy investment in SUV automobiles and other large gas guzzling vehicles like Pick-ups and other ginormous land cruisers the size of a small South American country, is not compatible with our petroleum reality. Two, Ford's are notoriously unreliable and not as well built as many other vehicles from other car makers. Three, the economy is still slow and many people are out of work and the war on terror is draining our supply of discretionary income so sales of cars and declining and people are waiting longer between car purchases.

So you can claim victory all you want, but it ain't necessarily so.

As for the rest, I find it particularly ironic that Don's preaching of hate and open persecution of gays and lesbians and anyone who supports them will most likely earn him a one-way ticket to hell - right along side all of the people he thinks are going there. That's going to be one heck of a party.
