Via Joe.My.God., this story:
Booing American war heroes seems to be quite the rage on the "Christian" right -- and yes, I count the teabaggers among that group -- they're just as ignorant, immature, and self-centered.
(Oh, and about that pastor's comment -- these people seem to be quite enamored of kings and other despots.)
At a prayer vigil outside City Hall before the meeting, about 300 people protested the proposed addition to San Antonio’s nondiscrimination law that would add protections for sexual orientation, gender identity and veteran status.
“Let them vote ‘no’ to this ordinance, and ‘yes’ to the reign of the kingdom of God,” Pastor Charles Flowers said at the rally.
About 200 people signed up to speak at the City Council meeting for and against the ordinance.
Alva, a Marine staff sergeant who became the first U.S. soldier injured in Iraq when he stepped on a landmine, was booed by the crowd when he spoke in favor of the ordinance. Alva lives in San Antonio.
