When the walls come tumblin' down...

Is it a sign of things to come on Tuesday? Is the Fascist-Evangelical wing of the Republican Party destructing like the Death Star at the end of "Star Wars?"

First Rep. Mark Foley (Republican-FL), their leader on the issue of child predators, is caught...well...being a child predator.

Now Ted Haggard, the Christian right's mouth piece on anti-gay marriage legislation, has been busted buying crystal meth from a gay hooker with whom he has been having an affair for the last three years.

The icing on the cake? Current polling shows Proposition 107, the anti-gay and anti-domestic partner amendment on the Arizona ballot, could go down to defeat, despite the efforts of Sen. John McCain.

The religious right's lies about who gay people really are must come to an end. Dick Cheney's daughter? Karl Rove's stepfather? Haggard? Not to mention the millions of kids out there who are taught to hate themselves by these bigots.

Perhaps now the walls of hate can tumble down and my gay brothers and sisters can truly become part of the American family.
