So there! If ever there was an “ex-liberal” pundit I’ve suspected that the Religious Right actually may have created in a secret dungeon, it’s Star Parker. Because she says things like this:
I became a conservative in church. I thought I was doing okay in my previous life — scamming the welfare system, going to the beach, soaking in my welfare-subsidized hot tub, treating sex as a hobby, and abortion as birth control.
You see, she was one of those “welfare queen” Rush Limbaugh is always talking about, scaring the old white ladies so! And to be fair, Star did have four abortions, so she knows what she’s talking about. [No, she doesn't.] Anyway, she would like to explain why she did not go to CPAC now:
Yes, the reason I declined was the inclusion of GOProud, a group identifying itself as representing “gay conservatives and their allies,” as a sponsor of the event.
[...]
The founder and chairman of GOProud removed any doubt on my part that not participating was the correct decision by dismissing these groups as “losers,” “clowns,” and “not relevant.”
For once, yes, GOProud actually said something to imply that perhaps they are deserving of dignity and shouldn’t be a doormat for the rest of the conservative movement.
I, of course, have been accused of being worse than a clown.
WORSE THAN A CLOWN? There is nothing worse than a clown.
The idea of “gay conservative” is an oxymoron.
“Gay” is everything that “conservative” is not.
[...]
It’s a worldview that is man-centered rather than God-centered. It is a worldview that rejects eternal truths passed on from the beginning of time. Although the worldview that “gay conservatives” choose to invent may diverge from the worldview of liberals, their common ground is they make it all up.
Ah, it’s the old “we’re smart because we believe our interpretation of things in an old faith book, without any corroborating evidence, you’re stupid” approach. It’s adorable because it’s so mindblowingly stupid.
Conservatives believe that there are objective and eternal truths, not of the product of any individual human mind, that are transmitted through the generations.
Like Old Wives’ Tales!
“Gay” is liberal, not conservative, regardless of what their stand may be on government spending or taxes.
Okay, got it. Gays not conservatives because gays don’t believe in old wives’ tales, and I used to be a welfare queen, so I’m an expert.
And it’s GOTTA be True ’cause she SAID the Bible said so.
FOUR abortions?! She couldn’t have used some of that welfare money to buy condoms? What a total strosh.
I find it hard to believe that any woman would prefer abortion as a form of birth control.
When are these GOProud clowns going to realise that they are not wanted. Oh sure, money and logistics support is nice, but don’t mention you are GLBT because then you are not a “real” conservative. Asshattery like this is why so few GLBTs are stupid enough to be in the conservative camp in this first place and if they have, they soon leave, seeing what GOProud refuses to: to the conservative mind in this country we should remain as invisible as possible. Get a clue, people: THE RETHUGLICAN PARTY DOES NOT WANT YOU.
wow…don’t compose response while drunk
Priya,I agree with you, I can’t think of any woman who would choose invasive surgery over swallowing a pill.
Star Parker is still hustling the system. Anyone who buys her reformed welfare ho line is gullible. She uses a non-profit to solicit donations to live off of and to evade taxes. She ran for office in a community with a large percentage of gay citizens. Unfortunately for her the average Californian isn’t dumb as a rock and she was shellacked. She hates the government but was trying to get a government job as funding for her non profit dries up. She changed her ex crack ho story into gay bashing and the weak minded eat it up. She’s a lying sack of crap that stereotypes black women by projecting her filthy past onto them. I could only say DON’T donate to Star Parkers non-profit and maybe she will have to get a job in the real world and will and keep her insane opinions to herself.
