President Bush has appointed anti-gay Baptist minister Herbert Lusk who advocates a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage to the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS.
Lusk is a former Philadelphia Eagles football star and current pastor of Philadelphia's Greater Exodus Baptist Church. The good reverend is a Bush supporter and receives $10 million a year in government funds, with at least $1 million a year coming from federal, faith-based grants. This is precisely why Faith-based money has to stop. It allows the federal government to own religious figures, like Lusk, and have them do its bidding.
At Lusk's invitation, religious right figures, including Dr. James Dobson, of the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family, and the Rev. Jerry Falwell came to his church on Jan. 8 for a rally in support of Bush's nomination of Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court.
This is a terrible choice for a panel on HIV. Is Rev. Pat Robertson going to be Bush's next selection? The nightmare of Bush just gets worse by the day.

Under this administration, there IS no longer any separation between church and state. The republicans wipe their asses with the Constitution every chance they get!!

This sound to me like if the idea is to just promote the spreading of HIV through misinformation and miseducation... But hey, what else can be expected from a guy who is trying to give away the ports to foreing control...

This is why we need to Vote to get republicans out office,they are relentlessly against any kind of Minoritys especialy the GLBT community. Some may say that John Kerry may not have been the best choice, but it now seems a monkey would be better then Bush.
1. Not that the apple never falls far from the tree — but it’s interesting that Lusk’s baptist minister father Herbert I plead guilty (only a few years ago) to five felony counts of abusing government money meant for the child care program that he ran in Monterey, CA. From the news stories, one can infer that he was at the least quite an SOB through it all: http://www.montereycountyweekly.com/articles/7333
