Here is what a evangelical-crazy said about the UN Disability Treaty
“I simply cannot support a treaty that threatens the right of parents to raise their children with the constant looming threat of state interference,” Lee said.
Millions of children have been raised by un-wed, or, divorced mothers, thus the word “parents” is not applicable. What Lee means is;
“a treaty that threatens the right of the church to raise our children.”
After Bill threatened to take my grandson from me, he bragged that he is an old fashioned kind of guy, you know, a dude that respects his elders and the father of the woman he is screwing out of wedlock. Bill thinks he is a parent to Tyler Hunt, but, Tyler has a father who has another son by another woman, or, another parent. What a parent is will be discussed in my next post ‘The Dead End Tyranny of the Un-Wed Mothers’.
My aunt June was married to Vincent Rice. June could bare no child. June set up a Trust for her sister’s children. You could say June was disabled because she could not become a mother and thus a complete wife.
Bill Cornwell tried to get me to spend June’s money on him and his family, and was pissed when I didn’t, when I couldn’t. He thought this money was government money. He called me a liar when I told him it was not. Heather thought I was still going to be at their wedding and give her away, because, what is the MALE PARENT good for in this MALE LOVER takes all system. I disowned my daughter, and will do so to any child Cornwell puts in her belly! I hate this – DUDE!
My daughter, Heather Hanson, agreed in writing to be the Trustee of my Special Needs Trust that is set up for disabled people. We completed the establishment of this Trust when Heather came to Arizona with her new lover, Bill Cornwell. A couple of months later Cornwell calls me ans tells me I am about to lose my daughter – and grandson – because I am traumatizing his lover with my calls.
“Heather’s my Trustee. She agreed to do this. I pay her $20 dollars an hour.”
For a month Heather is not returning my calls. I ask her how much her brother pays her to clean his house on Friday. She tells me $20 dollars an hour.
“Whats the problem? Is my money no good?”
Heather is paying off a loan her half-brother made her. She had told me Bill does not pick up calls from his disabled mother who is confined to a wheelchair, because she WANTS him to help her. Bill told me he was breaking my grandson of the habit of asking his mother for stuff. Within an hour of meeting Bill he is asking Heather to find him a greasy piece of Pizza for his hangover. He then asks my daughter to buy him a cowboy hat because he burns easily. And on and on Bill’s WANT LIST went. It was his dream to drive Route 66. Guess who rented the car with his Disabled Trust money to make it happen.
When I defended myself from Bill’s threat of the loss of my grandson, Heather made a case I was so insane, that any defence I made was proof I was not insane, and thus did not deserve any money from the Government.
The bat-crap crazy christian-right has lost it! Bill and Heather’s kind, have had their day!
Above we see Jesus about to tear up the Disability Treaty after saying he too cares nothing about the lame, and is all for the Great American Parent, even after they get a divorce, which fifty percent of them will get. Beecause many come from broken homes, and Christianity does not have any answers, let us punnish the disabled.

WASHINGTON — Former Republican Sen. Bob Dole of Kansas appeared the Senate floor in a wheelchair today, just six days after he was released from the hospital, to make a last minute appeal for senators to ratify the Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities, but his appearance did not sway enough Republicans to support the treaty.
It failed by a vote of 61-38, falling short of the super majority needed for passage.
The U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons With Disabilities would declare that all citizens, regardless of ability, deserve to live in dignity, safety and equality under the law. If it had been voted through, the United States would have been added as a party to the convention.
The convention would not create any new rights that don’t already exist under U.S. law and would not require changes to existing legislation. In fact, it would encourage other countries to model their treatment of disabled people around the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, which was spearheaded by Dole and signed into law by President George H. W Bush.
The issue came under extreme opposition from some conservatives, providing a highly charged and at times emotional debate, pitting some Republicans against those in their own party.
Opponents, led by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah., argued that the international standards could erode U.S. sovereignty and should not be addressed during a lame duck session of Congress. Lee charged that the treaty would threaten the rights of parents in the United States to “determine the best education, treatment and care for their disabled children.”

First Baptist Church of Dallas compared President Obama to Hitler, telling 600 other pastors at a luncheon that if they didn’t speak out on the election, it could lead to another Holocaust. On election day Franklin Graham, railing against the president, said on CNN that “this election could be America’s last call before the return of Christ.” (After the election Graham said that the country was now on a “path to destruction.”) It shouldn’t come as a shock, then, that Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council (FRC), reacting to the reelection of the president and victories for gay marriage in four states, issued a dire warning of “a revolt, a revolution” if the Supreme Court now rules in favor of same-sex marriage, with “Americans saying, ‘You know what? Enough of this!’”
The court may do just that on Nov. 20 if it lets stand the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling that California’s Proposition 8 is unconstitutional. The court is also likely to take on the Defense of Marriage Act, which has been ruled unconstitutional by several federal appeals courts.
It’s outrageous that Perkins would even remotely suggest violence (“I hate to use the words,” he said, “but I mean a revolt, a revolution”), particularly given that FRC was itself targeted by a gunman and Perkins was the first to claim that rhetoric against his group is what caused that violence. It betrays the fear and desperation now gripping the leaders of the decades-old political movement known as the Christian right, which is faced with some vexing realities:
1. There may no longer be enough of them. Contrary to what some may have predicted, evangelical voters turned out for Mitt Romney, a Mormon, making up a greater percentage of the electorate than they did in 2004, when they helped reelect George W. Bush, and giving a larger percentage of their vote (78 percent) to Romney than they did to John McCain in 2008. It’s not about loyalty. What they’re facing is something much more difficult: the rise of the “nones,” which I wrote about a few weeks ago. The fastest-growing religious category comprises those who have no religious affiliation, now the second largest category after Catholics, and even larger among younger voters. They overwhelmingly support same-sex marriage and abortion rights, and they largely vote Democratic. And polls show that even a majority of younger evangelicals themselves support marriage equality.
2. Attempting to fix the “demographic problem” that the media (and conservative pundits) have been buzzing about in recent days isn’t going to solve anything. GOP strategists, as well as cultural conservatives like Maggie Gallagher, former president the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), talk about how they now have to reach out to Latinos solely by changing their tone on the issue of immigration, claiming that Latinos are with them on the social issues. But this is wishful thinking at best, and stereotyping at worst. In fact, Latino voters mirror the rest of the country on gay marriage or are even more supportive of it. Exit polls and pre-election polls showed that Latinos favor marriage equality even more than the larger population, and that large majorities of Latinos favor abortion rights. Similarly, targeting the African-American community has proved futile, as Maryland, with its large African-American voting population, approved marriage equality.
3. Catholics, who make up the largest religious group in the country, can no longer be relied upon in any big way. The Vatican can talk about the sin of homosexuality until St. Peter rolls over in his tomb, but a majority of Catholics in the U.S. helped reelect Barack Obama, and in polls a majority support marriage equality. Prominent conservative Catholic leader Deal Hudson even recently admitted that gay marriage “doesn’t raise the temperature of the bulk of the Catholic Mass-going voters” any longer, and that “attitudes about homosexuals have changed so much over the last several years.”
4. Single women overwhelmingly voted for President Obama and Democrats, and men and women are remaining single much longer than they did even 10 years ago. Barely half of American adults today are married, a record low. Comments by Senate candidates about rape and abortion — elucidating positions on abortion that are mirrored by that of Paul Ryan — served to wake up many people to the reality of what the Christian right’s agenda is all about when it comes to women’s bodies and their relationships to men, and that’s particularly salient for single women.
Hodges: Christian right must soften its tone, widen its agenda

In the election aftermath, many conservative evangelicals are being forced into introspection.
The results confirmed that our country has experienced a paradigm shift. Culturally, we are becoming more diverse, with the number of minorities steadily rising.

Ideologically, the nation is embracing more liberal views — voters in four states backed ballot measures that favor same-sex marriage. Compare that to 2008, when such initiatives lost across the board.
Conservative evangelicals have to change if we intend to remain influential in the public arena. Changing our core values is not the solution. Christians derive their values from immutable biblical principles. But some shifting is necessary.
First, the tone of our discourse must change. It is expected that we will disagree at times with elected officials, but there is no place for intolerance and the divisive language that have dominated our politics in the past decade. It is possible to disagree with the policy and still respect the politician. It is also not enough for Christians to refrain from hateful rhetoric, we should vehemently oppose it.
Second, the Christian right must expand its agenda. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Jim Daly, the head of Focus on the Family, noted that evangelicals have made a mistake by marching lockstep with the Republican Party. Neither party has all the answers.
Our focus has almost entirely been on opposing abortion and gay marriage. We have neglected issues such as poverty, health care and immigration reform, which arguably have just as much biblical support as the agendas we oppose. After all, the scriptures command us to exhibit love and compassion and to care for the less fortunate.
The elections are behind us. We may have deep disagreements with the winning candidates, but, as Christians, we have a responsibility to pray for our nation and our elected officials. Any Christian who spews hate and promotes discord is violating biblical precepts.
nce the day Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, white Christians have considered themselves the home team in American politics.
As the dominant social group, they’ve shaped the country’s moral and political culture for nearly 400 years.
But the recent presidential election is a sign that those days may be over, a prospect that’s encouraging or terrifying, depending on which side people are on.
For some, the change leads to fear that America is no longer a Christian nation. For others, it’s an opportunity to separate faith from the quest for political power.
The trend is fueled by simple demographics, said Robert Jones, CEO of the Washington, D.C.-based Public Religion Research Institute. White Christians are simply too old and too few in number to control the outcome of a nationwide election.
His research shows 69 percent of senior citizens are white and either evangelical, Catholic, or mainline Protestants, and many voted for Romney. Those same groups are only a quarter of all 30-year-olds.
“Romney’s coalition looks like senior America,” Jones said. “Running up big totals among white Christians and expecting them to take you over the top is not a strategy for victory nationwide.”
Post-election, some in that group are downplaying the results, saying their side lost because of bad tactics, not bad ideas. Others say their leaders are too focused on politics and the culture war and not enough on living out their faith. Few want to give up the idea of letting Christian ideals shape politics, but most acknowledge they are in for a long struggle.
Al Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., and a national Religious Right leader, said the election was an unmitigated disaster.
He says the country will become much more secular in the future and look more like Europe. “It is going to be a chastening, humbling moment for American Christians to realize that we are going to be in the position across this country of speaking as a minority,” Mohler said. Today, about 1 in 5 Americans has no religious affiliation.
Change in strategy
That doesn’t mean that the faithful will give up on politics or on trying to shape American culture to fit their values. But it does mean they need to pay more attention to the Bible and less to the GOP, said author and speaker Stephen Mansfield.
Mansfield, the former pastor of Belmont Church in Nashville, has written about the faith of politicians such as President Barack Obama, former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and President George W. Bush. His new book, “Lincoln’s Battle With God,” will be released this week and looks at Abraham Lincoln’s complicated religious views.
Mansfield points out that conservative politics and the Bible don’t always match up. Take immigration. The Bible teaches believers to welcome strangers and immigrants and not to mistreat them, he said, but conservative politics dictates illegal immigrants be deported and a wall built to keep them out.
The Bible tells believers to care for the poor. Religious conservatives often put a priority on personal responsibility.
“People are not just looking for a well-run government machine,” Mansfield said. “They want some measure of compassion. We got our backsides kicked, and we got our backsides kicked because of issues of compassion.”
To remain relevant, Mansfield said, conservative Christians also have to learn how to express their views in a way that appeals to the larger public, not just like-minded believers. They can’t just hold up the Bible and expect people to agree with them, he said.
“You can’t come into the public square and say, ‘Thus saith the Lord,’ because fewer people are listening,” he said.
White evangelicals also must build ties with other Christians who share their beliefs but come from different ethnic backgrounds, Mohler said. He says evangelicals and Hispanic Catholics, for example, share many values, such as hard work and a belief in strong families. But the two groups vote very differently, in part because of immigration policy.
Mohler was struck by a conversation he had with one Hispanic pastor: “He said that it’s hard to be with you when you want to throw us out of the country.”
