  The Catholic League's William Donahue is obsessed with anal sex
From the CATHOLIC LEAGUE for Religious and Civil Rights web site:

Catholic League president William Donohue concludes: “Not to include any disrespectful holiday cards for Jews and African Americans does violence to the multicultural virtue of inclusion. How did this happen?


So William Donohue thinks inclusion means slamming Jews and African Americans. The next thing we'll hear about is the Catholic League suing for protection as an 'oppressed minority.' Why doesn't he conclude that the tacky Christmas cards are bad? Why doesn't he conclude that these major distributors of holiday cards know their market, and if there are rude Hannukah or Kwanzaa cards, then they are produced by smaller, independant companies?

Reading about William Donahue makes me wonder why he's so obsessed with anal sex. I can't think of a single Hollywood movie that features anal sex, yet he says that the 'secular anti-Christian Jews' that run Hollywood are fascinated by it.

Donahue needs to sit down with the Gospels and read the words of Jesus very carefully. Donahue is not speaking to people in the vernacular. He is complaining and being insulting using the lowest form of 'humor' we have: the insult. He is no better than Sam Kinneson, George Carlin, or Lenny Bruce. In fact, he's worse because he's not speaking any truths here at all. He's slandering and lying and preaching lies as truth. That is dangerous. That is what real Christians need to stand up against.

To be inclusive means we have to accept the rude holiday cards. It doesn't mean that we get to start insulting all of the other subcultures. Christ calls us to live by a higher standard.
