Wonder why we're not safer? Marilyn Musgrave explained why we're not winning the war on terror and why Iraq is a quagmire. The Republicans are too obsessed with issues like gay marriage to focus on real problems.
Think Progress has the video of Musgrave speaking to the theocrats:
Rep. Marilyn Musgrave (R-CO), the lead sponsor of the constitutional ban on gay marriage in the House, spoke this weekend at the Family Research Council's "Values Voter Summit." (Other virulently anti-gay speakers were featured at the event.)Most Americans think the future is grim if we don't solve the Iraq crisis and win in the war on terror. But not the people who run Congress. Bashing gays is their top issue. Explains so much.
Musgrave declared that gay marriage "is the most important issue that we face today." She told the audience that when you're in a cultural war like this, you have to respond with equal and hopefully greater force if you want to win," and warned that the "future is grim" if gay marriage is not banned.
Iraqis hate us. The Iraq war is a disaster. It's actually made us less safe. But the theocrats who run the GOP, like Musgrave, are worried about gays.
Wonder if the theocrats talked about the other top GOP priority: torture. Was there a session on "How would Jesus torture?" Maybe Bush heard directly from his higher power on that one.
Seriously, this country is in grave danger if the Democrats don't take control in November. The Democrats will make priorities of the Iraq war and the war on terror -- not the culture war.
