Let the people vote! Oh, but not on THAT

Hard to believe it, but that embarrassment to The Washington Hate Coalition, the greedy evictor of retired clergy Pastor Joe Fuiten, decided to test the waters again by making a statement to the press about the passage of our DP bill.  What he said was vacuous and unimportant, but what caught my eye was that he named Positive Christian Agenda as his "professional" affiliation.  I'd never heard of it, so did some clicking around.  Here is their bizarre website.  Do they really exist, or is this just another vanity site for another vain theocrat?  Oops, not that vain theocrat, this vain theocrat.

But the connection to my post topic came when I googled PCA and was directed to this node at the Washington Eagle Forum, an affiliate of Mother Schlafly's outfit. (When you click on the only link on that page, "Resources and Legislative Alerts", you're redirected to that bizarre PCA site.)  I've heard local Eaglettes testify and speechify and screechify during the DP bill deliberations, so I thought it worth a click around their nest.  And now I'm finally getting to the point of this story: these people are hypocrites when they say "the people" should vote on marriage, DPs and the like.  What?!  Hypocrites?!  You can't believe it, can you?

Now, about that vote thing, after the flip.

The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and the District of Columbia).

Under the U.S. Constitution, the states have exclusive and plenary (complete) power to allocate their electoral votes, and may change their state laws concerning the awarding of their electoral votes at any time. Under the National Popular Vote bill, all of the state's electoral votes would be awarded to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The bill would take effect only when enacted, in identical form, by states possessing a majority of the electoral votes-that is, enough electoral votes to elect a President (270 of 538).

Believing that enforcing majority will is the only purpose of government, a group called "National Popular Vote" is attempting to nullify the Electoral College....

If the purpose of government is liberty and justice, the Electoral College has done America proud. The system moderates our politics and protects minority rights.

If the purpose of government is simply enforcing the will of the majority, the Electoral College is in question.

Washington State lawmakers passed SB 5688 yesterday afternoon, thus giving the homosexual activists what they want.

Gov. Gregoire will sign it.

We will seek to overturn it by referendum.

I defy anyone to find even one member of The Washington Hate Coalition who doesn't believe in enforcing the will of the majority when it comes to my freedom to get a civil marriage.  And yet here they are, rending garments because local democrats want to do the very same in presidential elections.  I know it's not uncommon to find hypocrisy among the Professional Christianists drawing salaries from the anti-LBGT industry.  In fact I think it's a job requirement.  But it's been quite some time since I've witnessed such a baldfaced, in-your-face example.  Will wonders never cease?
